Happened again. This time PvE 3531. Not all servers I’m in are affected but it seems to have AI efficiency in detecting ones that would sting the most in my game play.

This isn’t happening on 3531 for you, is it? I’ve never experienced this myself.

Crap your right. Updated to 3531

its not only you or you server, happened me too at the exact same date at server restast of an european pvp official restart on PC so seem to happen all platforms.

my toon was sleeping and went through several server restart with no incidence, but the 27.11 killed on server restart; i just saw it today in logging.

become really really hard to play this game…
it is not the first time it happens to me. it has started something like 3 months ago random death of the toon at server restart or server crash and restart (low probabilty but it happens)

This has happened to me twice today!
I’ve been offline in my base on a PVE server.
I’ve lost everything! The epic gear can be replaced at great cost to materials and time but I am playing an archer build and typically carry a legendary bow and spear/lance I only have so many of these in storage.

Ok seems like I fall to my death. It’s not all spots where this can occur but these two definitely. 3551 I doe every server restart but didn’t for 3531 and that’s because I moved myself lower. However I spawned directly below my log off spot.

So with that, did you guys tweak the system where you can’t body vault in the air anymore to prevent the cheesy bat trick? Because without base rendered, all folks in those bases will get effected.

I checked 1504 last night and I lost everything I had on me because of this, couldn’t even ask for a ticket to be open because that didn’t work either. I knew this game would go to trash but it surprises me how they care nothing for the little loyal players they have.

The same thing is happening to me who is playing in Japan

I have a similar situation. one minutes after the server was restarted, the player was killed and his belongings were lost.

And it’s two times in a row. We should officially announce that the game should be finished after all equipment is removed.

So strip naked folks for safety. I know many already do due to the instability of the game but I definitely recommend it now

I’ve always been conflicted on this since I’ve also lost stuff in containers due to stability loss… so… damned if you do, damned if you don’t. :face_exhaling:

yes but they need to adress this bug that kill characters randomly at server restart, and we still wait the 'report received" from fc team.

i mean if you cannot trust your inventory, if you cannot trust that while you are offline you character will not lost all its inventory (and not due to an another player, or to climate, but dying without reason at a server restart), and if you cannot trust the decay timer. it start to be more than a huge problem, we are simply talking of the fact of : is this game is still playable ?

Honestly, I always recommend not playing it.

Same happened to me on exiled lands online official pve server. server : #1213 Platform: (PC) Steam
After my 3000+ Hrs of gameplay i can say this age of heroes is full of wery bad ideas and lots of bugs. I have already lost some thralls just cos they ramdomly teleported out from my base to the center of the map and now this. This is now far behind the line what a player can tolerate.
And also becouse of that idiot idea that the worker thralls walk around for stupid reasons they keep my doors and gates open and aniyhing and anyone can walk into my base. At least i have some drawbridge to keep my thralls inside my base (and now i have to keep them closed always). Honestly who was that supersmart guy who made the doors and gates super useless by this ********.

yeah the one that had the idea to make open door by crafters on an online survival game where you compete to others players, desserve a very special credit in the history of game industry.

Who knows what problems that mechanic caused in PVP.

Even someone new to the server can do this. just luck.

This is as contrary to the structure of pvp servers as possible.

Experimenting.

3531 PvE. If I’m on the mesh, I’m fine. Trees or land. Seems to be stable spots for character. Ceiling tiles or treehouse foundations? Yeah doesn’t matter. I’m either dead from the fall (with time stamp of a few seconds after server restart) or at the bottom of the base under the tree (no evidence because no death).

3754 PvE. 2 bases. One base started yesterday restart but other base was fine with today’s restart. Going to go back to other lava base to see if I die again next restart.

3551 pvp Every day since headhunter active was death except one and that one time was sitting fine in base.

Oh wow, you just made me realize a connection. Since head hunter event I’ve been logging on to my bottom floor which is flush with perma structure. I’ve been logging out 2 floors above.

That’s why I’m thinking someone tweaked something to have the characters reset to be active at server restart. The only thing I can think of why they would do this is to stop logging off in the sky that the exploit content providers push.

Of course the issue here is that the buildings don’t render in until your online toon is around so essentially the characters spawn in at reset but the buildings don’t.

But what’s weird is that its not consistent across all servers and apparently not all bases.

I Tried to find a reason too, like structures that are over water etc… but so far no reason that i can reproduce all time with the toon death at server restart.

but just noticed some very weird weird stuffs, as to log off inside a base (apex), and the day after when logging (so after a server restart) my character is at level of the ground (alive but not where i logged off and not inside the base), happened me twice in the last 5 days), and if i want to go back where i have log off, i need to climb manually in my base because i am for real outside and on the ground.

so noticing the same kind of stuff that @Kikigirl
