JJ_ 5 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) EDIT: Forgot to add that this was after ~60 hours of playtime.Here's a little story for you: I'm playing with 2 of my buddies, we're in the new village west from Svetlo. We hear someone calling for us and finally find the guy behind the store. He has a broken leg.He's asking us to kill him so he could respawn, but i tell him that we have some morphine and not to worry that we would kill him.My friends gives the morphine and i tell him (with a friendly voice) to keep his mosin down just for a bit while we get away from the place. Just for our safety.We keep an eye on him as we get out of the village so he doesn't try to shoot us to at back. Although i didn't worry much at all as he sounded friendly. Right after that the server restarts and i join another server.For some reason i had lost my gear and spawned on the shore (but i got all of it back when i left the server and joined yet another one.)There i immediately see another guy. I ask him if he just joined and lost his gear. He said no, that he just died.He asked "Where you're from dude?"Finland""Ah okay"It was pretty awkward but he was a nice guy.Before i left the server i just said to the guy that it was nice meeting someone like him once in a while.

Tatanko 5591 Posted April 16, 2014 Glad to hear about a positive experience once in a while. They are not the majority of stories, that's for sure. As for that second server, you likely joined Hardcore (assuming you usually play Regular) which has its own separate character save. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually play HC but with friends it's usually regular. In this case we played regular.I already had stuff in hardcore so this was not the case this time (Though i made this mistake multiple times at first :))This has happened multiple times. Server's restarting, leave, join, lose gear, leave, join back in, get gear back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murlough 192 Posted April 16, 2014 Apparently its a common glitch to lose your stuff and respawn at the shore. Glad you got it back at least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you got it back at least.I was just going to say... if it isn't due to switching between hardcore and regular, it's probably this glitch/hiccup. I've had this happen to me as well, though only maybe once or twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hannibaldaplaya 1095 Posted April 17, 2014 I meet a lot of friendlies. Some guy helped us at NEAF try to get rid of someone in the ATC... but as he was giving us some pistols and ammunition, we got flanked as we forgot to watch the ladder. Funny, I spawned right near the guy, added him to our skype call, and then we all met up, and melee'd all the mike tyson freshies, one of the most fun experiences I have ever had in DayZ.
