LucidHills 94 Posted November 18, 2014 Before I start, this is not a complaint. Just sharing my observations. I normally play on 1pp servers and have logged hundreds of hours on them but recently I switched to 3pp for some light hearted fun without having to worry about losing my character.In the 2 days I have been playing on 3pp servers my character has been reset 4 times! This is crazy. I have played using my 1pp character since the great wipe and have never had it reset.I assume it has something to do with the player count as I normally play on low pop 1pp and have been playing on max pop 3pp. Has anyone else noticed this or have I just been really lucky on 1pp and unlucky on 3pp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWiser 251 Posted November 18, 2014 Should be only one reason your char ever gets unintentionally reset. Joining freshly reset servers too quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) It mostly happens to those who are trying get the loot first on a freshly restarted server. Instead of being the first the raid the NWAF, suck it up, wait a minute or two then log in and guess what? No issue.

LucidHills 94 Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah. I know not to log into newly restarted servers but have any of you experienced more random character resets on max pop and/or 3pp servers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucidHills 94 Posted November 18, 2014 Or maybe it's just my super crappy internet which isn't responding in time to a laggy (due to max pop) server so my character is reset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted November 18, 2014 I've never experienced a character reset. I often got the "Couldn't retrieve character from the main hive" message back in 0.48 and 0.49 when they were real, spawn fresh on the coast, but immediately looged out of the server to join again and always got my character back. Always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucidHills 94 Posted November 18, 2014 I normally get the "WARNING! The hive couldn't connect to your character" or whatever it says near 100% of the time, but then It just says "Ready!" then I log in fine with my old character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It stays no matter what at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
