It's cool but it'd be too much for rocket to work on and I don't think a snowy winter would be possible. So most of this probably isn't even going to happen. But I think the idea about the temperature settings for a time of year are cool though, I'll give you that. edit: Also, I don't think the idea of having servers being different from others is very good, they should all be the same otherwise we'd have more players joining whatever's easier.

Double post? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/38111-ultimate-holdup/

Giving away free tents is no achievement nor would it give any sense of reward, if every player were to have it then the tent wouldn't be so valuable anymore. It wouldn't do much to help players at the start because they wouldn't have anything to store in it either, the tent only becomes something useful once you've worked up and scavenged for proper gear and decide to stock up. Giving players a free tent would be like, giving everyone a free rifle at the beginning and yeah, the lonewolfer does lose everything while the teamplayer doesn't because that is as mrducky said, the advantage to teamplay. So I don't see what the big problem is. The way it is right now, works just fine. All I see if this were to happen is tent spam, tent blockades, tent cities and more banditry and murders. Now, that right there is why we don't want free stuff. Carelessness. What you're saying right there is that you would not value your death if you did get shot in the face by that bandit or whatever and starting right there, think, what stops everyone from doing the more of the same careless things if they have virtually nothing to lose when it's all safe in a tent they didn't have to work for? Right now, people with tents or important items value their lives because most of them know they risk losing something they worked hard for and getting killed would mean having to work their ass off again, which means they are more careful and don't run around carelessly knowing they still have things they can get back to. Items which you wouldn't lose of you weren't so careless in the first place, if this is what you want, then you might as well ask rocket to give you back all the stuff you had in your bag upon respawn. This idea is flawed. You need to think more of how this would affect gameplay positively and negatively and not just the benefit of the player since the beginning. The game/mod wouldn't be as enjoyable as it is right now if everyone were to be running around with free things. The stuff we get to spawn with on the shore is just enough for what we essentially need to begin our lives and loot, now we actually need those while we don't with tents. It's not something people need in order to survive, it's basically something players want to expand their capabilities in their lives. mrducky's idea is alright, but it's still pretty much the same thing.... free tents.

You need to consider that the mod IS in its Alpha stages, you can't expect rocket to make the mod as perfect as you expect it to. Anyways, I'll just try to point out more as to why I think this idea is bad. if you think that tents are as important as they are right now then they are better off as items that you must find. If a tent were to be given to every player at the beginning of their lives, then the tent itself becomes nothing much but an extra free thing you get to store your stuff in. In DayZ, you have to risk in order to gain, and by simply giving such things away. People value it less and as a result is not as rewarding as when you would find one because you know you worked hard for it. It's the sense of achievement which makes this mod enjoyable, and free things does not give that kind of enjoyment and yeah like what thedog said, the items we already get in-game is a privilege, give any more privileges like free items and you might as well give away guns too. Also, in a sudden real life apocalypse, I doubt that every survivor would be able to prepare such camping equipment but I don't know, I'm not from Europe.

I mentioned one, "One of those being that tents are being used as substitues for wire to blockade building entrances and deying people of loot, which happens alot in Cherno and Elektro already." Another reason why I think it would be bad, free tents would mean people wouldn't have to worry about the consequences of death and automatic tent deletion, so basically they could stack up on all the valuable items in one tent, die, go back, place another tent and not worry about losing their stuff or going to scavenge for another tent, thus making it easier for players which is not what the mod is supposed to be like. If it were like that then it might as well have rocket make tents be permanent non-removable storage. Now why don't you mention something logical yourself about how this is good for gameplay besides the idea just being "awesome" because that isn't logical itself.

NEVERMIND

No. There are plenty of reasons why this would be bad, one of those being that tents are being used as substitutes for wire to blockade building entrances and denying people of loot, which happens a lot on Cherno and Elektro already. If you're trying to be serious about this suggestion, you should at least make proper statements on how this would affect gameplay. Just saying how you think an idea is awesome doesn't really move the suggestion forward.

Use a more recent beta patch than what you already have. I was having the same issues when I installed the 9495 build, I just downloaded and installed the one more recent to that and it fixed it. Tell us how it goes.
