Seeking Wisdom

[andersxp@hotmail.com 19]

Hello :) I have a question as to what might taken place or how this problem i will describe now can be preventet or how it works :) Thanks for reading and hopefully providing wisdom! :)

So i died as my ATV mysteriously disappeared within map bounds after a server restart (i even checked some of the placed i had previously saved the vehicle). None the less it was gone and it contained my foods which i needed to live (i was doing fuel run 400m in and out, unlucky restart in between), so i ended up dying. I lost DMR, M107 and some other good things. Too bad i must start over, sad but no problem :)

I quickly get some basic things among which is a lee enfield. i head over to balota airfield and i see a person running away. I stalk him, hoping for some good tools and maybe a better weapon. He must have seen me as he suddently appears near a tree and shoots me, he hits me several times but luckily my lee enfield ended his life before his last bullet could finish me off (2k blood left after).

So it turns out he has, Ghillie suit , 24 slot backpack, m4ax cco sd rifle m9 sd'ed pistol, all tools and night vision and tons of food an magazine. So i pretty much take all of it, and run off, at this time i had soon to go out so i decided to run for 5 minutes (probably like 500meters or more off) and i then logoff. I heard that some items dissapear if u dont stay in game long enough, so i logged into another server to see if it was still there, it was.

Here comes the problem, i come back around 4 hours later, only to find everything is gone, except the NightVision goggle's and the pistol (although all ammo is gone for it, and i have some of all my old things.

So somehow i have mostly my old stuff but bits and pieces of his gear, this strikes me as very weird, since a rollback would remove all of it???

Please help me find out what happened so i can prevent it from happning again! :)

Still looking for answers anyone?

Game's still in Alpha.

Bugs are the untimely and eventual fate of us all.

It might have to do with the ghillie suit.

I've heard lots of reports about people losing gear/reverting back to former lives on respawn.

You could try respawning and seeing if your stuff comes back, if you don't want to do that, try taking off the ghillie suit and see if you keep your stuff then.

Either way, I don't recommend using the ghillie, until the issues with it get fixed, it's too risky to mess with it.

I didnt use the ghillie suit i just put it into my backpack :), i heard the same rumor, but i've also heard that recent patching fixed the ghillie suit so.

Still looking to for a way to avoid this :(

And i know the game is alpha but im not complaining im just looking to know how this works for now and how to avoid it

Discharge your weapon and wait 30 seconds to ensure your character saves

It could also have been duped gear. That has a tendency to disappear if it changes hands

[andersxp@hotmail.com 19]

Sounds possible with the dupe gear, since it was basiclly some of the best gear u can get in the game

Why discharge my weapons btw?

And thanks for responses :)

Probably it is just registered as an event. Gives the game something to save.

[UbiquitousGayGuy 1]

The game registers it and records it. Next time your save point comes up it will terrors all your gear to the hive. If no inventory changes then it just updates position
