QuackerJack 2 Posted August 4, 2014 I'm fairly new to DayZ. I thought I had a bit of time to play so I started up the game. I am on a nighttime server with 3-4 people on it. After about a minute, I am told I have to get off the computer so I exit the game. The next time I log in, my character is completely reset. I think it's a bug and log off and log back on. Same thing. I assume that I somehow died when I exited the game the first time. Is there a way to tell? Or could this just be a glitch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosti 2165 Posted August 5, 2014 You know that your avatar stays in game for 30 seconds when you ht the log out button? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuackerJack 2 Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah, but with only 3-4 people on the server, it being nighttime, and me being in the middle of nowhere, I didn't think I was killed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullraugh 1151 Posted August 5, 2014 you may have joined a hardcore server from a regular server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuackerJack 2 Posted August 5, 2014 Will that kill my character? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabre05 351 Posted August 5, 2014 Will that kill my character? No you have 2 different characters. 1 on Hardcore and 1 on Regular servers. Though you COULD have died from zombie attacks whilst you were logging off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuackerJack 2 Posted August 5, 2014 Oh well. It was kind of boring anyway. Time to start a fresh guy and maybe even a new play style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Often times they might twich a little bit but in all fairness you lay lifeless in the dark. Edited August 5, 2014 by Deathlove 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
q.S Sachiel 470 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) *Hardcore and Regular servers on stable branch save an independant character, which you can move between at will. Moving from one to the other will not carry across your items.*Experimental branch servers are frequently reset, meaning your gear gets wiped, regularly.*While logging out, you are vulnurable until the game removes you from it (~30seconds or so). Make sure you remove yourself from danger and log out in safe places, or your empty character shell is able to be killed, even if you've exited to desktop (also includes task manager and altF4 quits).*On server restart, you sometimes miss out on stuff you may have picked up as server doesn't recognize you as having taken item prior to it shutting down. Rarely in my experience, the server can 'miss' items you may have picked up if you loot then log out within a short time frame. I tend to wait a few minutes after looting important things if i gotta log.*Alpha - sometimes you may get randomly reset or occasionally die without having known how / why. As a more general answer to your question... if you are killed, it will say "you are dead" in white text over a black screen. Can't miss it ;).You can also be "You are unconscious" which means you may wake up (or die, depending on what put you out) after a random amount of time. You can either stick with it when unconscious and hope to regain composure, or respawn (forfeiting your life and starting over). Good luck, have fun and we'll see you on the business end of our guns soon enough :) Edited August 5, 2014 by q.S Sachiel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
