Bug Lost all my items again! :D

[J2BH]

The great arena bug has claimed another victim!
I already know making this post is pointless because I will get nooothinng back, but hey! you have a right to be informed
Informed that I lost all of my items once again to crashing during an arena start!

Time date info if you need it (Doubt you will cuz im not getting anything back but hey doesn't hurt)
2/3/2016, 11:30 EST <- time of incident roughly

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I GOT TO KEEP MY ARMOR AND THE HORRIBLE BOW I WAS HOLDING!! ;D

Couldve been worse!
- I could've lost all my items in base chests
- I could've gotten banned from minecraft forever!
- I could've summoned lucifer himself
- I could've brought Hitler back from the dead
- I could've been sent to hell
- I could've died in real life!

And worst of all..
- I could've turned into a cow.

So eh, not all that bad that I lost all my stuff haha.

This is similar to @theb1ackreaper 's experience.

• Both issues occurred when the players dc'd "or something" (it's not clear what's going on) while entering or in Arena.
• Both died in Arena and on Survival at the same time.
• Armor and held item were kept.
• Inventory was lost.
• Both were at Citadel Spawn when they went to Arena.
• Death point was on Survival (at Spawn), but no death chest.
• TheB1ackReaper 's death point was on steps so perhaps this stopped the death chest from spawning. However J2BH's death point was on the raised flat area around the spawn room.

Adding this info in case it helps to build a picture of what's going on in this particular scenario.

Simple: Don't wear anything while participating in arenas. (or have anything on you.)

I've been thinking of a tactful way to say this without offending anyone, well said.

If a problem exists, why perpetuate it.

Well, I think what we've really been needing is just a notice to all players to say this is what they need to do. Staff have a better overview of the situation than individual players.

So here goes:

There seems to be an issue with inventory loss when players dc (for whatever reason, including server restarts) whilst in the Arena. If you don't want to risk losing your inventory to this rare bug, empty your inventory before joining an Arena queue.

How's that sound?

OT: They'll have a lot more to worry about when I finish T7 bosses! *evil laughter*
