Fresh spawn after every server change

[Ugly (DayZ) 79]

Edit: Changes my post as some people are already confused about my situation.

 

Loaded up my game after a month or so, had a new character. No problem.

Played for about a half an hour, had to log off. Logged back on, new character.

Played with new character for a while. Had to log off.

Came back, new character.

Start testing: Every restart is a new character.

 

 

 

 

So... I give myself 5 minutes between server changes, every server I join makes me a fresh spawn. 

 

On the "public" hive, characters are not saved to a server, are they?

Nope, but they are saved to specific "hives" I think. Or, you are joining a server that has a shitty connection to the main hive, and are getting wiped because of it.

 

On a slightly related note, why are you changing servers so quickly?...........

Not server hopping for loot, if thats what you're implying.

 

Do be honest I am bug testing this, which is why I'm restarting all the time.

I've had this issue before, been nearly fully geared up, the server resets, I go to join the same server, and boom, I'm a freshy...

 

I then leave the server immediately after noticing that I am a freshy and log back onto it again, after the minute wait I usually have my gear back, but sometimes I am unlucky and I have to gear back up...

Joining a server to soon after a restart will wipe your character. Best wait for the server clock to tick up one minute to make sure it has fully restarted. (I.e. from 09:00 to 09:01 server time)

It happens from time to time, but this is happening 100% of the time to me since I updated.

This would certainly be one good way to stop server hoppers.

Maybe it's a new feature

I dosent wipe your toon.... unless.... you play for a while and the hive receives an update with that new spawn data. Log out immidiatly so it cant send any info....log back in (same server) all will be fine. That's never failed for me, and what Judopunch said, Its to do with the server start up procedure :)
