The current state of persistence in 0.54

[IIvIIozzie 31]

I've been out of the game for several month's and wanted to see how persistence has come along, if at all.  Been trying to read up on persistence but the information out there appears contradictory and lacking. Some say that their gear left on the ground (in tents or in backpacks) stay after the Wednesday reset, others say it doesn't.

-Is it luck of the draw?

-Does it vary server to server?

- Does public/private servers/shards affect how persistence works?

 

Can someone with experience explain this please? 

 

 

Also, possibly a related question, what is going on with all the very short reset times on server? I'm seeing a lot of 1 to 4 hour server resets, what's the story with that?

 

 

I appreciate help in advance!

Nothing survives Wednesday maintenance

Most servers restart every 4 hours but it seems the last couple of days servers have been randomly restarting in between that 4 hour period.

Persistence wipes happen on Wednesdays, but not necessarily *every* Wednesday. You should pick up your stuff Tuesday night, but there may be some weeks when you get to keep the stuff you couldn't fit.

Keep in mind that admins can turn off or reset persistency at any time on their own servers. Stashed gear may still be lost if persistence bugs out and needs to be reset or if they decided to go heli hunting. The most secure way to store gear is on mule accounts.

I actually found that my tent and gear remianed where I left it upon Wednesday Maintenance.

last weeks maintenance did not persistance wipe... i wouldnt suggest leaving them on the ground again.
