Server side characters/character whipes [BUG]

[Nate (DayZ) 7]

(Pretty sure this happened on an east coast server, not 100% though)

 

Ok so earlier today I stuck my fireaxe in the back of a shitty bandit's head after witnessing his KoS tactics on fresh spawns in cherno. So I looted his gear and had to log off for a bit. So I decided to D/C in the building i hunted him down in.

 

Some time later I log into a NJ server to continue from where I left off. I find myself on the coast with nothing, completely whiped. I was frustrated and continued on for about 3 hours. I ended up all the way in Gorka and decently re-geared myself. The server then went down and I find another random server to continue looting Gorka for food.

 

Here is the weird part. I then spawn ALL the way back in Cherno, where I had killed that bandit before, in the SAME building I logged off before, with the SAME loot, two servers ago. So I was again frustrated that 3 of my hours regaining my loot had been wasted yet again.

 

Is there something I'm not understanding here? Why are my characters randomly whiping and then coming back after joining another server?

 

TL;DR - Character whipes, I start a new character and fully gear myself, Log onto another server and I spawn with the last character that whiped.

 

(Note that I am not server hopping either, this seems to happen when servers go down and I try to find either the same one or a new one.)

This is reported in the bug tracker already. Characters randomly wipe. Hopefully they fix it soon.
