How would you feel about the ability to pack any tent?

[dayz247 59]

The fact that people cannot pack other people's tents seems out of place to me. As such I am thinking about adding the ability to pack other people's tents (yes it is possible, already tested).

How would you feel about such a feature?

Very uncomfortable, say for instance your tent was discovered it would be gone. Now you would see all the useless stuff was left behind ( indicating someone was there). If the tent would just dissappear i would go to the admin and ask him if the server was bugged. Anyway it should leave a trace

Yes, tents should be packable. Of course any gear they were unable to carry would disappear, but lots of people will pull all the stuff out of your tent anyways. Hide it well in the first place is the solution.

I think it would be great. Why should I NOT be able to pack up a tent I find?

[Talibambi 119]

You should be able to take peoples tents. Hell you would finally be able to move your OWN tents since you cant move them around when you die.

This would actually be a great thing since tents value would drop significantly since it would mean there would be more in "circulation" as it were. I mean its not like you want to keep using a tent after its location has been discovered. Most time people just pack up what they can and leave anyhow. So I feel there would be no loss in losing a tent and its contents from someone else taking it.

Why this isnt in the game already though?.. who knows.

I never really liked the idea of storage-tents. People would more likely build boxes out of wood to store stuff in.

If tents were replaced with boxes ( 2 wood, 1 scrapmetal f.e.) that could be built everywhere, taking stuff out and leaving the box behind would be the most useful thing to do, as boxes can be constructed everywhere.

The whole need for deconstructing tents comes from people always looking for tents. If the most basic storage-unit could be crafted, that would reduce more tensions than creating a new "glitch or thief"-problem. (people bothering admins all the time because their tent glitched away)

I've already added the ability to pack your own tent. Granted it requires you wait till one restart after you die.

This is something which I don't know why isn't already in the game. I've been wanting it for a while.

[Hetstaine 10852]

Being able to set them on fire would be cool too.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Yep, i agree with all. Removing gear, repacking the tent, setting fire to it...why not.

It would even be nice if you could lay in wait inside one as well.

I quote myself from another similiar topic http://dayzmod.com/f...5-tent-packing/

I always thought the hide & hope base system of this game just plenty sucks. First of all, I would like players to lose their tents and vehicles 'on track', this means, while they're online. Not because they're busy with RL. I actually find more realistic if your base logs out with you, because what is really unrealistic is that your base is abandoned 21 hours a day.

However, when you are online, your tents/vehicles are not longer 'yours', but free for everyone finding them (and therebefore, be able to take them). So you and your group better leave someone behind for watching and defencing purposes.

Also this will need some sort of officially recognized group system, as if 4-5 players have a group, if only 1 of them logs in, tents and vehicles also does. Not having to wait for the unique owner of the base to be online.

Yes, as a tent thief I should have the option to pack up other peoples tents. Ive found quite a few empty tents on my travels to date and it would have been nice to take them. As for the bug/thief comment I hack down peoples tents with the hatchet after ive raided them anyways so unless the owner gets back to the location before a server restart nothing would have changed in this regard, bing bong tent gone!

[Yoshi1991 14]

The amount of wasted tents, sitting empty, meer yards away from the supermarket that the player found it is rediculous, if you find someones rediculously placed tent you should be able to take it.

I'd rather have my tent be completely taken, than it being hatceted to death.
