Storage (i.e Tents)

[armalitez 1]

I have been with the Dayz series well before people started modding the mod and the original Dayz was fine but one of the most important features you missed to include when you have released this alpha is some sort of storage, i have every rare item i could hold on my character and there is no point in me holding people up or shooting people because i cant carry their gear so what is really the point in this game at the moment 1.Get gear. 2. log-out till storage is added or go get myself killed so i have something to do again??

 

I am sure you do not want this to happen so please just add a simple storage feature so it adds more reason to hold people up and start fights :)

Imma start by saying alpher!. Although I would like to see storage now, its really silly to put in the game at its current state. There will be many 'hive database wipes' along the way. The (relatively) minor butthurt I have now that I can't 'store' my gear, is nothing compared to the butthurt that will surely be prevalent when the hive gets wiped and my fully stocked tent(s) get erased. Think about that...

I disagree - people expect wipes during alpha - but people expect basic functionality too.

 

Wipes, I can deal with. Having absolutely nothing to do after a couple of hours on a character, however, isn't so easy.

I think they intend to add this once the basic foundation of the game is in a better state. That might discourage server hopping as well.

I think adding tents will ENCOURAGE server hopping.

 

Grab all the high end gear, go back..store it..repeat

 

That way when you die, run to your tent and boom...loots of goodies.

 

Just playing devils advocate. I'd like storage aswell, though.

I believe the logical reasoning behind the lack of tents/zombies/items in GENERAL is what is called an Object cap.  Zombies, fall into this category from what i understand.  If you have tents littering the world, the object cap will be hit easily, not allowing servers to create loot/zombies.

 

Once they figure out how to stabilize the object cap for more zombies/items/loot/tents you will inevitably see tents i believe.

i thought his complaint was going to be about the absurd amount of stuff you can carry my last life i had 2000+ 5.56 rounds and 5 storage cases full of stuff allowing you to expand your inventory even further past the cap..

I would agree with the storage capability, but lets create a realistic cap (after all, there are 2x2 300-round ammo storage boxes!) and have it server-sided, not transferable to other servers to prevent server-hopping and promote player loyalty to servers.

 

Maybe having storage facilities/containers with the ability to LOCK them too would be nice. Have a feature to try and break the lock with a tool, such as a screwdriver or pliers. The feature should have a chance percentage.

I don't want to see storage be something common.

With 100 people servers possibly on the horizon of optimisation, they would have to be either extremely well hidden/ secure to serve any real purpose.

I would also like them to be small to increase the penalty of death.

Tent shouldn't wipe - cause as far as i can tell they are gonna be stored server side. 

[Private Evans 1303]

One person one tent and if you die your tent is gone too...

 

for storing stuff indoor I would like to see this :  http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/161806-cardboxes/

Maybe some kind of big ammo box that we could "bury" in a ground would be helpful ;)

To armalitez.. [the amount of times I have to send this to people who post in Suggestions]

 

.. the game is in ALPHA. You should have known this when you bought it. You, like many others on the forums, want changes implemented when there are many more high priority things being fixed at the moment by the devs.

 

Have some patience. Go play the Mod or something else for a while. Keep up to date on the devblogs and wait for a patch that suits you. Rocket and the team are going as fast as they can. Posting on the forums asking for updates will not get you very far. I'm sorry if its frustrating for you but the game will exponentially get better. Once the major kinks are ironed out things will get better.

 

Good things come to those that wait..
