Ugly (DayZ) 79 Posted January 22, 2014 So since the new patch came out, my character was about 2 hours of gameplay behind from where I left off. (I am currently south of Zelenagorsk when I was originally at military base SE of Pavlovo) Anyone else experience this issue? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sybelpwns 5 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Yup, i was about to post it. I am much mad than you, i was full equiped and full ammo, M4, full camouflage sitting on a military base... and then.. i'm a wild ***** with just an axe in Elektro.. no way to fix it back?

korpisoturi (DayZ) 127 Posted January 22, 2014 Well I'm a week behind in gameplay. I was at the ship NE and now I spawned in cherno with equipment I had a week ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exodiusuk 8 Posted January 22, 2014 Hello, Yes i have the same issue, looks like when they told us: Does my saved character get affected in experimental branch?No. It runs on a different database, so any changes will not affect your character on stable branch. It was clearly a lie. Lets hope they were smart enough to do a backup of the database!!! and restore our characters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defalus 8 Posted January 22, 2014 Alpha guys , alpha. This stuff is bound to happen even in beta so just deal with it, and i dont mean it in a bad way. If you can deal with it you wont be disappointed when it happens. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ambetanterix 6 Posted January 22, 2014 Same issue, I suddenly have the gear I had last week and all the new stuff is lost. I'm also getting messages my stomach is really full which didn't happen before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TangoAlpha 39 Posted January 22, 2014 I logged in and had a new character too. My old one was fully geared but I had actually went to the coast in hopes of finding and being killed by someone so I can start over after having been alive and bored for dayz so this just saved me time anyways. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irl-calibre 744 Posted January 22, 2014 yeah! reunited with a character who had been alive for nearly two weeks but I thought i'd lost in a wipe! happy dayZ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prophet36 10 Posted January 22, 2014 My character was just fine when I joined Regular server, but weirdly enough I spawned in military base near Pavlovo. Well, I've been there a couple of days ago, but my equipment was yesterday's, as I left off (I only lost my Mosin though, M4 was just fine). When I joined Hardcore server, I spawned on the coast as a new character, which I assumed it would be, but when I joined another server I spawned somewhere inland (as a fresh spawn too). My guess is, my first Hardcore character didn't save yet (only played for about 1 - 2 minutes, just testing), but it was a little weird to spawn in such place. Unfortunatelly, during my play on that server I lost connection to it, presumed it was restarting, but from that time, I can't see any Hardcore servers except some 2 clan servers or something and all Experimental/Hardcore.

twingunz 308 Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah while it may be in alpha, they should never state the characters would not be affected to be fair.It says at the start of the game about character wipes if you don't want wipes don't play till full release ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exodiusuk 8 Posted January 22, 2014 It says at the start of the game about character wipes if you don't want wipes don't play till full release ;)Then its bad practice for a company to state in a update on the forums that your character would not be affected because its on another database, not to mention how on earth can you reset a Database thats not being affected to the update. Yes fair enough its in alpha but dont tell people you have two seperate databases when you clearly dont. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5P4RK4 (DayZ) 50 Posted January 22, 2014 And you were lame enough to comment :) its not hard to backup a database! I would basically expect a full wipe every patch. Its happened a few times already. Part of the alpha is tuning loot and the initial spawn -> gear path. Wiping it gives them valuable data on how changes affected the progression curve, player paths etc. Alpher. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comikz 218 Posted January 22, 2014 Let's all just be glad that with the current stuff available to us in SA, that there wasn't more to lose, such as bases/vehicles/stashes ect.With the current game getting returned to a new spawn back to getting fully kitted shouldn't take more than an hour and that's if your terribly unlucky... And yeah, ALPHA... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meeshe 170 Posted January 22, 2014 Character wipes can happen at any time. Get used to it at least until the game is released in its final version. Don't fall in love with your gear. Oldest, wisest saying in DayZ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punkrawks 136 Posted January 22, 2014 I got lucky, died a few days ago with full gear. Server reset me back to that state. Yay, cut down on a few hours of re-gearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes fair enough its in alpha but dont tell people you have two seperate databases when you clearly dont.If you think every big patch is going to be 100% perfect with no issues you're mistaken and this is obviously a glitch or error with the patch / server changes that was unforeseen. It's not like they're going around snickering like 'we sure tricked them telling them their characters would be fine when we plan to a little rollback *teehee*'it's alpha there will be random unforeseen problems accept the loss and move on if you can't accept the risks in playing alpha don't play till full release. we all have to click 'i understand' to play.
