question about camps in the standalone

[GulpinGulpin 40]

hi, i played the mod a shit load and haven't had a chance to get the standalone yet but i will this week and pretty much all ive been doing is watching youtube videos and shit for the standalone in my free time

 

but i was wondering, how have you guys gone about making camps?  cus in the mod i would know the coordinates of my camp and just put a waypoint on it to find it, but from what i've seen there isn't waypoint in the standalone... so what do u just have to memorize its exact spot?  just wondering, all help is appreciated, thanks.

I was playing DayZ mod with servers that had disabled waypoints/map markers so I'll just use map, eventually compass to find anything I need, like I always did.

yeah i guess thats what im gonna have to do now lol

 

kinda bummed but also kinda excited to see how it ends up, i usually played on regular servers and the standalone really seems a lot more in depth from what im used to so nonetheless im excited for a different experience

You will have to figure out where you are with a compass and by interpreting the ingame/out of game map. Which is how it should have been from the get go imo.

I'm pretty sure that some standalone servers in future will have settings that allow you to set waypoints on map or even know your exact position on map.

gonna be harder to put a camp in the middle of nowhere though, gonna need some sort of landmarks around it nahmean

Camps aren't implemented yet but Rocket has talked about some pretty interesting/exciting features that will be coming.  And dumping your stuff in some secret spot doesn't really work either because server restarts are very frequent.

 

If you're already familiar with Chernarus from the mod, you'll find that the standalone will be pretty familiar too so you shouldn't have trouble finding your way around.  Of course, there are numerous ways to do get your bearings in DayZ.

i dont want ones that just tell u where u are though, even i didn't play on those in the mod lol

 

i do hope they add gps's to military spawns if they havent already though

there aren't even tents in the game yet? oh shit did not know that lmao

 

and in the mod if you put ur shit in a tent it would stay there through the resets

I'd say the last week has simply been a pure stress test, to see if the servers crumpled under the interest from all the new players. I suspect after the holidays, we'll slowly begin to move forward from there and begin seeing more content, while unexpected problems are also being addressed.

Nope.  The only thing that remains when the server resets is what you're carrying.

yeah i completely understand that its in alpha and shits still being worked on

 

i was just askin for some advice on how people made camps in the mod w/o using waypoints and shit

are there even tents in the standalone at the moment?

[ninjacalypse 551]

Well, there are static tents.  Dumping stuff in them won't do anything but leave a pile of loot for someone else to find, if they get there before the next restart.

Have you ever had a tent in the mod? Everything in the tent stayed there. Even after server restarts.
