Solopopo 330 Posted January 17, 2014 Hive, mode and time columns in server browser http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165709-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-031114343/ Items will probably still wipe every once in a while, but we will be able to see what hive we are joining, so we won't be doing it to ourselves anymore.

PhillyT 554 Posted January 17, 2014 Is server choice what is resulting in character resets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solopopo 330 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) My understanding is that your items get reset if you join the wrong server/hive. Maybe I'm wrong. Edited January 17, 2014 by Solopopo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dogtag (DayZ) 3 Posted January 17, 2014 Like what just literally happened to me. Logged out with a nicely kitted character and logged onto a different server that had me fresh spawned. Moving back to the server I had come from still had me reset.My swear jar just overflowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think so. I hadn't thought so. I figured it was periodic or from a server issue not transitioning to other servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured it was periodic or from a server issue not transitioning to other servers.A lot of people on the boards advise having a list of servers you know are safe in your favorites. I've been doing it and I haven't been wiped in a week. Edited January 17, 2014 by Solopopo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niner 27 Posted January 17, 2014 Actually, I moved from a server with gear and onto another, and my character reset, but when I joined another server he went back to normal for some reason? o-O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think so. Yes, it is. Servers which are not yet white listed to access the hive will wipe your character when you join. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamz 253 Posted January 17, 2014 All I know is that since I started only using Gameservers hives, I've not had a character wipe. That's for two weeks, with 6+ wipes before that with random server joining... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonioajc 500 Posted January 17, 2014 Why is it like this? Database does not save properly when joining a non official server? This has happened to me, but I managed to get back on the server I was previously and my character was fine with all the gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Zod 1118 Posted January 18, 2014 Well surprise surprise, logged in today and got my gear back. It wasn't much but it was enough to survive and now I'm almost fully geared, all I need now is pristine LRS and I can go back to doing what my signature says.
