Annnnd character wiped :(

[hrdrok 183]

Was it just me or was there a wipe today? Tried logging into my normal server, and at the bottom corner it said couldn't load my character and that it was reset. Then it loads the game with me at the coast and none of my gear :( 

 

If this wasn't a wipe then perhaps a known issue? Not trying to complain. (Alpha!)

 

Finally found that acog too (cries inside).

This is how I deal with it.

It's a common issue apparently to do with a server's ability to remain connected to the hive. Also, some servers have not yet been "white-listed" and so they will not have permission to access the hive yet and will not store your progress (or be able to retrieve your data from the hive, so logging in to these servers will effectively "wipe" your character).

Here's the tracker issue: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=78

 

You should go there, vote it up and add comments about your own experiences to increase visibility on this relatively critical issue.

 

 

In the meantime, I suggest you use the "Favorites" function to flag servers which reliably store your progress, then only play there.

Thank you for the detailed response! Should have done some more searching as this seems to be a larger issue.

For some reason, I can't seem to favorite any servers, or even check my history. Do you know why?

Number 1 rule?

It's Alpha. The point is to test the game, not run around owning noobs all day.
