Change to how tents work.

Tents are pretty much the dayz equivalent of a vault. Sadly due to how Arma2 is, when servers crash or restart they sometimes eat your tents and everything in them. I know my group of friends and I lost five tents full of loot to a server crash. I realize the mechanics are designed as such to make it so loot can't be large scale transferred to other servers and also allow the tent to be looted by other players. However, I believe there's a way to fix this.

Allow each player to have a "tent inventory" tied to their character. This would allow the player to preserve their tent's items by tying it to the same system that our general inventory uses. The tent's inventory would still be accessible to all players. And potentially what you could allow is a tent inventory tied to the specific, so for instance if a player joins a new server and makes a tent, it will wipe their tent inventory similar to how tents are now.

It's not perfect, and it might not even be possible, but it would help to fix the server tent eating that is inherent to Arma2.

I guess it's not an issue for anyone else.

I don't understand it.

Each player has a 'tent' inventory and its saved according to that Player ID?

No. Tents, when deployed, are effectively vehicles in so far as the coding is concerned.

Tents should remain tied to a Server.

Tents have many issues and I feel that they will be addressed in the coming releases.

Not just a player id, but a server id, so they still work the same way, the data is just stored on the player's info instead of the server's

Well I'm sick as all fuck of having my shit vanish. I know the game is in Alpha but this is an issue and it really does need some serious work.

For my personally I see no point in playing a long game now because every tent I have ever set up has been wiped, not robbed, not run over, wiped. It's really annoying, maybe tents should be tied to a master server so when the server goes down the master server can tell the server what was in it.

What I don't get is why the tent is still there like all my vehicles but all the shit in it is gone :|

I agree tents should be more stable not wiped in server restarts. I had another idea I just posted about the tents "I think after you die you should have the option of going back to your tent and hitting a button so it goes back to persisting forever instead of disappearing after 2-6 days."
