t1337dude 101 Posted August 6, 2014 Has this happened to anyone? Or is there at least a reasonable explanation? I had a backpack with some saline bags and a Sporter 22 rifle (nothing to brag about), and was auto-running down the eastern coast. I decided to poo so I let my guy auto-run down the coast. I came back and my backpack is missing and so is my rifle. I still have my pickaxe, all my clothes, and all the items in my clothes. Wat ze heck happened?!

Katana67 2907 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) You probably ended up swimming while you were autorunning, and when you swim in DayZ, your weapon and backpack go away eventually. Edited August 6, 2014 by Katana67 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJFlint 357 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) "Went AFK to Poop and Character was missing gear when I came back"........hahahahahahaha!!! Were you grouped when you pooped? Maybe one of your buds stole your 22? When I to use the can, or grab a beer while I play I never just leave it on auto run LOL were you on a packed server??

Crashty 2 Posted August 6, 2014 This happend to me once but i managed to pick the backpack quickly lol, I think if its damaged it floats away or something, but you could still pick it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Hawke 114 Posted August 6, 2014 If it was due to swimming it will reappear after less than a minute back on land.Anyhow, why would you - in DayZ, of all games - just let your character run around afk??? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Does that happen now? I thought they got rid of that back in the mod days :( As far as I know, I recall seeing it in a video of Standalone just a few weeks ago. I don't really swim in DayZ, no reason to.

CJFlint 357 Posted August 6, 2014 As far as I know, I recall seeing it in a video of Standalone just a few weeks ago. I don't really swim in DayZ, no reason to.I swam a few times, you can lose your gear although I never swam long enough to lose mine.... I learned something interesting in shallow water......If go in say 2 to 3 feet of water were your still walking, then lie down you go underneath....You can no longer be seen. Prefect way to hide, and do you not lose your gear unless you start swimming......Completely invisible! You can even crawl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I lost my backpack and I think my axe and my rifle on the way (or seemed to), but they reappeared after a couple of seconds back on land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeeVanSpliff 156 Posted August 7, 2014 I decided to poo so I let my guy auto-run down the coast. Lol! A brilliant plan executed with skill, surplus and overview! Did your character happen to auto-crawl when you came back? Because then maybe someone punched you out and took your stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

umberfive 89 Posted August 7, 2014 Gear only returns to cool people, sorry budWell, If you ever get to this situation and abut 20m from you another player launches a flare, you won't keep calm. Bad things happen. Whats more disturbing is the fact, that some bugs only appear for some people. Until recently I never broke my legs on a staircase, but others did.

bauertschi 254 Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I got a buddy who regularly used a compass and then some coins to autorun from Krasno to Balota. He then made food, ate, smoked, ... . He never got killed or lost anything. Thinking about how many hours he saved, I'd say even dieing once or twice would not even make that autorunning a bad thing, unless you consider running through woods where absolutely no one is as entertainable as going through hotspots. I do it, too, but I sit back in my chair and stay at the pc. AND I think sacriel once complained about Dean sticking a coin into his keyboard for autorunning and leavin the pc. Don't aks me for the vid, it's long in the past. And if Dean does it ;). My guess is also that you went swimming, you might have gone a little too far left somewhere or hit one of the ponds there. Does anyone know if you keep running after getting knocked out without pressing w again? The only disturbing thing here is the poop. Why do we need that information? "I was akf for a few minutes" is plenty of info, why include the poop things? Edited August 7, 2014 by bautschi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
