WDA_GnyHartman 0 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Server Name: DAYZ 69 all night long 24/7 always night Regular 114557IP: 23.19.47.18 Port: 27016 A group of 5 of us were at Balota Airfield in the Militray building. We had a spotter on the outside who warned us of an approaching enemy. We killed him. Seconds after the server restarted. Upon rejoin it said "wait for host". Several of us loaded in where we should have been but 3 seconds after ALL of out characters were reset. We think we killed the server admin who reset the server just after he died in hopes to save his gear. He then somehow erased the database or something because 4 out of the 5 of us have had our character reset. Only 1 kept his gear. Stay AWAY FROM THIS SERVER. Blatant admin abuse.

WDA_GnyHartman 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Well since there were 6 players on the server and I was on vent with 4 others it kind of narrows it down.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWiser 251 Posted January 27, 2014 Admins cannot "erase databases" and the only thing an instant reset would do would be prevent you or anyone including himself from looting the corpse. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problematic 71 Posted January 27, 2014 Resetting the server does not wipe your character out of the hive. You say you loaded in to your original character and then 3 second afterwards you were reset? Did you got disconnected after relogging back in after the first time around? Not really getting the timeline here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintMerc 73 Posted January 27, 2014 Server admins do not have access to the Public Hive and there for can't reset your char or gear.There for I conclude that this is most likely a bug in the game and nothing more. But, The server admin shouldn't of restarted the server just because he got killed, as this willsave his gear as it normally takes 30 or so seconds to update the hive so he would of kept his gear. This sorry to say is a form of admin abuse, and happened during the DayZ Mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
