Tents seem to be getting better. I have had 2 for several days now. I always try to remember to use the mouse scroll to "save old camping tent" every time I visit it. That said I have lost several with content in the past but that goes for backpacks and personal inventory as well. All to often I have spawned to find the tents gone, but I have also found tents added. These tents were pitched and empty. I was able to pack them up and use then elsewhere. I hope they are still there but i cannot check as the last update has resulted in more than half the server I use to go missing from the list. That and 3 updates in the last 36 hours mean many servers are not compatible and will not load (until they update?) I don't understand why people feel the need to pitch tents in plain sight. It's like hanging a big "LOOT ME "sign above it. I always put my tents in deep brush cover and if possible away from the road. Yes they are a pain in the butt to pitch but once in the right position they can be next to impossible to see. In fact, I need to write down the coordinates to find them myself sometimes. These extra tent spawns are a problem in that they spawn outside the cover of the tent i placed and I have the impression that they actually affect the texture of the bushes and give away the position of the hidden tent. I lost a couple of nice things due to this but managed to move the rest to a new location. As a matter of fact, I always scout good locations for my tents and write them down for possible later use when i come across them while foraging. Fish

I find tents very useful as they are but would like to see things stabilized and get what we have working without glitches before we attempt to expand the envelope. I find tents very hard to come by. it takes me sometimes a day or more to get one. The two I have at the moment (if they haven't disappeared yet) are well hidden in deep cover. I find it hard to understand how people manage to pitch 6-10 tents, in an obvious location, in plain sight. How do they get a hold of so many? How come they aren't simply looted and destroyed. If I find a tent where someone seems to have attempted to hide it to some degree I will look but generally leave the stuff in it alone unless I'm in dire need or see something very tempting. But when I find 10 tents on the hill at Stary Sobor and half of them are stocked full I will take all I can carry, smash any empty tents and put a note on the map that there is free stuff for the taking... I sat a ways away and watched this guy server farming, popping in and out filling the tents. Sadly he died of lead poisoning. I find the issue of capacity in a tent very perplexing. If they are 50 units, how come I can put 6 guns in one, or do guns only count as one unit in a tent? Last thing I want is for it all to be gone because I have over loaded the tent. I think this issue need clarification. Lots of guess work out there as to what will fit but no proof positive answer.

Found a motorbike once southeast of the NW airfield, in the middle of the woods. It was fun while it lasted. Fish

I lost all my tents on 2 servers after last night's update

.

Wait till dark, find a server with few players and stock up is what I would do. I don't like killing other players unless I feel they are a threat to me. Not happened yet, though I did find a guy once in the supermarket. We saluted and each went on to do our own thing. If I see a stranger and he hasn't seen me, I just steer clear of him... Except once where I saw a guy crossing a field. I went prone behind a bush and used the voip to say Hello, I see you! Poor guy almost crapped his pants. He went prone and then logged out. Fish

Great help guys.. thx Fish
