Oh, you just geared up and logged out for a few hours? Cool. Now that you're back, half the servers are night. Oh, you don't want to play on a nighttime server? Better not tell you in server browsing which servers are day and which are night, then. Better just make you join and quit til you find out.
Oh. You joined a server? Better spawn you on a beach with nothing. What do you mean, ''you had gear?'' you just spawned, silly goose.
FIX PLEASE.
Have a infrastructure. Apply settings to said infrastructure.
Wait.
"WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING."
Stop complaining, and contribute to the project. This is the whole purpose of "Alpha" Testing a video game. If all you are going to do is complain you lost your gear, which everyone has experienced, then you should not have bought the game yet.
You were warned before you bought it.
Servers with lowercase z, Dayz as opposed to DayZ are perma day, at least those are the server naming rules. get a flashlight and play at night.
You loot for 3 hours?...Good lord. I soon as I get my hand on a m4 and a couple magazines I'm done. Quit being such an item whore. You don't need every slot full and all the bells and whistles to play.
food, drink, gun, ammo.
