I have some questions. Is this common? Restricted to Xbox/consoles? I play on PC and don’t use a controller. Should I stop playing until this is fixed?
The comments have me worried. This seems like it should be a big deal, especially if the characters can’t be recovered, which seems bizarre to me in 2023.
Well, there are no “time-limited rewards” that aren’t account-wide. In fact, literally all cosmetics are account-wide, so there’s one tick off.
The Wargear would all be gone – that’s the big issue. Anecdotally, I’ve noticed that newer characters that I’ve made have tended to get far better rolls on equipment than any of my old characters from Beta.
I’m almost certain there are people who have been playing since Beta who could address this more effectively than I, but in my total playtime (coming up on 400 hours, started in Beta, played until shortly after launch, left, then came back a few weeks ago) I haven’t experienced any issue remotely like this.
The reddit poster isn’t even the one this happened to, so we’re already getting second-hand information.
Based on the comments IN said reddit post, it seems like nobody else has had this happen (as they’re all saying they’d be pissed if it did).
There seem to have been reports LAST YEAR while we were early in launch and tons of server instability existed wherein there were multiple reports consolidated into a Known Issue, but that was resolved.
Doesn’t mean it couldn’t occur again; but unless FatShark sees that someone’s character got blinked out of existence on their end, I highly doubt they’re going to show much sympathy for a client-side cockup (glitchy peripherals or otherwise).
This thread included, I’ve only heard of this issue happening two times so far. Another person speculated that it might be related to playing on the new map and the lag spikes that happen during the mid-event but even so the odds of it happening have to be incredibly small. You can comfortably keep playing but if you’re still worried, try avoiding the Warren map.
