anyone else's player get wiped?

[hoopman130 6]

i logged on about an hour ago in hopes to see my fully geared, military-looking, bad*** mother****er on my screen, but instead i got a fresh spawn with nothing on her, anyone have this issue, and if so, why?

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.

 

;) Use Search Function next time or just look at the recent Radio Chatter box.

Happened to me.

I'm a young sexy Afro girl again, instead of that old Rambo redneck of a few days past.

Did you play on the same server where your previous character prior to the wipe was on?

To get a live character back: 

 

All the Gameserver.com servers I tried ( a lot) gave me back a character from 2 days ago - NOT the character I had this morning - also most of the Vilayer servers did the same, in Europe and USA, CA, DAL, East Coast. The Indonesia server did the same. Even the dao-zai-quiang server gave me the same character (and I've sure not been there for a LONG time)

 

But a number of other server providers spawned me on DIFFERENT beaches each time with strange messages - "you are thirsty"  "you feel warm blood on your clothes", and the HUD says you are "Healing" ???? I think its how organised the server groups are, NOT where you played before (maybe Im wrong, but it worked for me).

 

My 2 regular servers wiped me.

 

So go round a few of the servers listed above, Gameserver.com  99-100%;  Vilayer 75-80% will give you a character from an earlier time. Look for any servers that are nearly full now, they will work for you I guess, that's why everyone is gathered there. Go where the crowds are. Its night all round the world, if you noticed..

 

If you get a respawn, just zap it down and try another server, don't accept it. Go for the full servers. Make sure you have a character before you shut down the game at the end of your session. Maybe tomorrow dawn you'll be stuck with what you end with now?

Yes, upon loading the game my character was the girl on the splash screen. I hit play (not change server) and there she was all by herself in the dark, looking for some companionship and TLC. Nada, zero.

Harsh world out there she thought.

Make sure you are on the correct direct hive, experimental or live. 

 

I logged into experimental 3 as a new spawn, logged into the one I was playing on last night was my proper character.

 

There may have been a change requiring you to log into the same server you were previously playing on. No info from the devs at this time. However as this is an alpha be prepared to die/get erased/rolled back often. If you can not handle that dont play for a couple months.

 

Good luck.

 

Edit: Rocket just posted that "hardcore" and "softcore" characters are going to be different. This may have to do with some of the problems people are having. Make sure if you are using a 3pp character, that you stay in a 3pp:on, server and vis versa.

I don't know.  Does this forum have a search function?  Given there are already 50 of these f-ing threads you probably don't even need to use the search.
