Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted January 28, 2013 What?Must be a server with a custom version of the mod.The original DayZ hasn't changed its tent models.(To my knowledge, anyway. Please correct me if this is the case.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted January 28, 2013 Are you wathing videos with them in? I can't say I have ever seen them in game. Might be custom server. In fact Im surprised players still use tents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bansidhe 16 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Dome tents are more stable in the wind because the poles cross each otherAs a veteran of more music festivals than I care to (or indeed am probably able to) remember I have to challenge this assertion. Dome tents have a horrible habit of collapsing in at one corner in moderate to high wind unless pitched on totally even ground and/or without positioning the guy ropes with near mathematical precision. Add rain to the mix and very quickly everything inside is soaked through. I have seen this happen to so many people so many times.

Mr Nasty 1023 Posted January 28, 2013 It would be pretty cool if you could actually enter the tent to avoid the rain. You dont want to run around catching a cold now do you? Especially if sickness is going to be more prevalent in the SA. If it starts raining rather than risk catching a cold just pitch your tent and wait it out.

I have seen this happen to so many people so many times.that may be true for cheap ass tents on a festival, but my experience with tents in the pricerange of 600 dollas and up is that dometents because of their poles crossing gives much more stability in high winds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plrsniper 87 Posted February 2, 2013 There's a reason Everest climbers have dome tents. FYI.As for DayZ, dome tents are not part of the standard builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
