Cptn_Miller 83 Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) logged out on a ladder ?!?! never ever do that, will almost always = death, logging out on 2nd flr or higher is/can be a death wish as well, try to always use 1st/ground floor. even tho its 1st/3rd be aware of a few things:- the name of the server / persistance - if its generic named server, DayZ CA 1-122 or similar you must rejoin a similar server or you prob get wiped - if its like a clan name, =BOM= clan server .... you must rejoin something similar or you prob get wiped- the time of the server - 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and such are bad, server in process of restarting and might not have connection to battleye/hive = you prob get wiped - time should be something like 8:33, or a 9:21, or a 10:43, or a 12:11, click refresh a few times - check to see the timer increment in 1 min intervals = prob ok to join - try to join server with the good times as stated above AND that have at least 1 person in them... - if you join a server and see WAITING FOR HOST... and no red battleye text in lower left corner = HIT ESCAPE IMMEDIATLY AND GET THE F OUT, means the server is not connected to battleye/hive yet and has no player info = you prob get wiped.- after exiting a server be carefull to not rejoin another asap... give it a 60s+ delay always - if you log out in a combat situation your dude can stay on the server you just left for like 60s or more i think = bad, again a battleye/hive thing, so make sure to give it at least a couple mins before joining another server.- if you log out, and know you were safe / all ok, and you log in and you are a freshie... do not move... immediatly log out and attempt to log in on a different server like i stated above and you should still have that dude, you prob logged into a server that appeared to have the same paramaters as previous but didnt. you can have 2 guys going at same time, a 1st person only view dude, and a 1st/3rd person dude .... i got screwed out of many a fully jacked dudes by not following these rules.... since then lost zero....

escobert 112 Posted October 1, 2014 I just find a few servers and stick to those. I favorite them and then just go right to my favorites when I log in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Ensign 990 Posted October 1, 2014 things I look for: 1. RESET WARNINGS or the longest possible time between resets2. low enough ping (less than 150)3. servers not named anything like 'squeaker's house of kos'4. a time of day that won't have the sun pissing me off the entire way across the map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
