ijerm 0 Posted December 25, 2013 My brother, a friend of mine and myself all picked this up this week. We all love it. It's exciting, frustrating and hell of a lot of fun. My concern is, we played until about 330am last night, collecting rifles, mountain packs, food, etc. We were loaded ready to take on the north and anyone that wanted to give us problems. We decided 330am is a good time to probably take a rest and try to get back at it later in the day, like nowish, but as I log onto the server we were on I have nothing and I am at the "starting area" wiped clean and when I started up the game it showed my guy with M4 in hand, backpack strapped and the works ready to take on this world. But now I have nothing, ran to get more stuff and got shot in the back. So my question, whats with the wipe-age of all my gear? Is this a pre-release bug? Is this something being worked on and if at all is there any way to work around it/fix it? Thanks, and good luck out there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Publik 404 Posted December 25, 2013 It's an alpha bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted December 25, 2013 Probably just the regular wipes that a lot of people have been reporting. Its frustrating and sucks but hopefully that will be taken away soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouisK 85 Posted December 25, 2013 There are servers which are not white listed to the main hive and will cause character reset whenever joined. It's a matter of luck I believe :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Bogan 350 Posted December 25, 2013 I'm sorry for your loss :( Personally I've been lucky so far but i have heard on multiple occasions that people relog on the same server with account wiped. The Dev's will fix this in a matter of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIC 1050 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Rocket: "This is all part of the testing process, we've identified some additional areas of security and enabled some we had left off so we could really see the holes in the architecture without having to rely on the higher tier security measures. Because the vulnerability would allow a player to create items (and they had been) we have decided to wipe the whole database. We could not announce this, as we didn't want to encourage those exploiting to try and figure out a way of leaving items on the ground. We have killed all characters in the database, who existed after all our servers moved to the new version (0.29)."

ijerm 0 Posted December 26, 2013 Well thank you all for the response, very helpful. Another question for any of you... Do any of you have any servers that do not wipe your character? Would like to know if there are any. Thanks again, Happy Holidays! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
