R.I.P. Character (wiped by server)

[Clydefrosch 6]

Dear Character,

Rest in Peace.

 

3 Months old, some hundret hours of playing.

Killed 8 Players, hundrets of Zs, survived 3 ambushes and had the finest gear one can get.

 

Today I wanted to log in and he was gone....

 

Pls fix that damn communication between servers and hives!

Thx.

Aww, that sucks dude:(. RIP....

Too bad it's an alpha, early-acess game and it was told character wipes would happen. Deal with it.

[rodolfoxiii 71]

Alpha, then beta, and only then finished game

 

I don't remember a beta that don't wipe all characters before game release

 

I suggest that you get used to it

[Clydefrosch 6]

Uh sorry. Didnt know during Alpha its not allowed to say "this bug is still around"...

They should add the world's tiniest violin to the loot spawns. Then I would find you and play it for you.

Well they did say they plan on doing server wipes anyways considering ppl can live with good gear for a long long time from previous patches.

If they do a global wipe it is a different thing!

I would be fine with that.

But loosing chars due to bugs is something different.

Yea, I know the feels and alpha or not it still hurts. Since it happened to a few friends and I (mine was several weeks old and had the most glorious M4, built using the remains of hackers/duppers), we developed a way to combat this character wipe bug. Treat it like you did the crash bug, when ever disconnecting from a server, close the game. Reopen and join your desired server. Rinse and repeat. I have yet to experience a wipe since implementing these steps. Hope that helps and good luck.

Its not the gear - our groups has three tents full of stuff and my MP5 (which is really hard to find) got ruined by a Zed (which almost killed me) yesterday anyway... Gear doesnt matter... it´s the char - he was an awesome lucker! :.(

[FragBeer 7]

Dont be scared of heights..

[Airfield 50]

Thats why I get geared, go into Berezino, and get killed all in the span of 1-2 days. No attachment, no sorry, SO much fucking fun.

Did you try to relog or try another server?

[rodolfoxiii 71]

There will be a problem if all servers are not wiped when the game is released...thanks to the dupers.

[DeatHTaX 1217]

Did you try unplugging your router and plugging it back in?

So watch your screen as your character comes on the server, if it says anything about a default character being loaded then Exit that server immediately, do not move or look around, just exit and try another server, preferably the one you were on before you logged out last.  If your old character does not appear at that point then yes, you have been wiped.
