Why do I have my old character in some servers and a new one in others?

Recommended Posts

Logged into some server earlier and was a fresh spawned, so figured my character was wiped

 

Anyway just now logged into a different server and I have my fully geared character from before the patch? how does this work?

There are 2 separate hives now - 1 for 1st Person servers, and 1 for 3rd person servers. Maybe this is the reason ?

hmm though tried logging into other servers and it seems I am a fresh spawn?

 

Is this the fix for server hopping or something?

To clarify: Servers listed as Hardcore are on a different hive from the Regular ones. Also on the Regular there seems to have been a roll back of a few days. So if you didn't have a character a few days ago, you won't now.

Otherwise you got the "character save" bug.

I spawned as a fresh spawn on both hives of regular and hardcore. I was fully geared before, so I figured that my character was wiped. My pre-patch character was a week old, and he was still alive before the patch.

There are Normal and Hardcore servers now.  You can see in the server list.  It appears Hardcore servers you start fresh.

i too just logged in and my character was geared differently from before the patch. didnt think much of it till i recognized my gear was from a few days ago when my character got wiped. the only reason i know for sure was on that character i had horded 4 prestine saline solutions with iv starter attached in a medkit bag. only did that once.. i figured we would have got wiped after this patch so i count myself lucky.

It doesn't appear to be the Regular/Hardcore division at the moment; I tried both and had new spawns on each type of server; but, on other servers, I have a version of myself from about 6 days ago. Very odd.

Yeah I have the same thing, it's very very strange.

 

I logged off the game about 8 hours ago "Before The Update", I was fairly kitted up in civilian Hero-esque clothing.

I just returned to the game "After The Update" and found myself as a fresh spawn on the coast! This was on a Regular server.

That server was lagging, so I hopped into a different Regular server and to my surprise my character was fully geared in Military gear! :-\ LOL This was a character I had about 5 days ago that "Died" as a result of the bloody annoying "Vault as you try to climb a ladder" glitch.

So I tried a few more regular servers and discovered that my character changes from this old Dead character and a fresh spawn in different servers even if they are all regular ones.

I tried Hardcore servers and I seem to be a fresh spawn in all of those.

 

Not complaining, just very strange and surprising....... and confusing :huh:

I presume 'Hardcore' is just as it say's - like minecraft you start with nothing each time?

I to logged in to find myself stood on a roof in Cherno, a character that died about a week ago?

For me it seems to reset on every server...so far...

I hope it's not like this for server hoping etc, kind of defeats the purpose of playing with friends when you are on different servers.

This is what private hives are for!

Same here.

 

Why would they put this into the "Stable Branch" if it hasn't already been tested?

Remember, 'Stable Branch' of the current Alpha may not actually be that stable. Everyone in the Alpha is actually here to test this stuff. They've just done some major reorganisation of the Hive with the Hardcore/Normal servers, I'd presume that there might be a few kinks to work out with that.

Yeah, that appears to be the issue.
