Regarding tents and player hostility

[blindwuzi 37]

I know some people KOS because that's how they play the game. BUT, I think when tents are added and you're able to store your stuff you'll be less worried about losing what you have and be able to enjoy the player interaction more. What do you guys think?

I have three words for you:

 

Tents will allow players to store gear. Therefore, the life of the player becomes even MORE meaningless, and running out to kill the first player they find becomes less risky. So no, it wont reduce kos and encourage player interaction.

love driving over tents and flattening them! good bye gear *sniff sniff* or better yet, filling them with trash..

Hi.

 

I know I'm pretty much alone on this, but I feel your tents should be deleted from server when you die.

 

Regards.

I know everyone hates WarZ but having a Bank or ''tent'' (any place to store gear) made a lot of people get greedy and KoS each other and server hop just to run loot back and forth to build up all the supplies they could...

 

now if the tent deletes when you die then I don't see the down side, they wouldn't change player behavior because its still die and loose all.

[Capo 323]

I think you guys are overestimating the effects of tents.....they were them in the mod, they didn't affect KoS at all. Unless you were caught looting someone's camp, then you were in for some shit.  

 

You have to put the gear into the tent in the first place, meaning when you take gear out, it's not like it gets replenished. You still have to put a lot of time and effort into putting gear in your tent, so if you die, respawn, regear from tent, die immediately, repeat. You end up with no gear very quickly, and have wasted a lot of time. 

 

Other players can take items from your tent, or destroy it, meaning you will have to put your tent in the middle of nowhere in the hopes that it won't be found. When you die, you're going to have to run back to your tent, praying that the 20 minutes you spent running was worth it because someone else might have looted your tent. It's not a fun process, it's better to not die in the first place. 

 

You put backup gear and items in your tent, you carry your best gear with you, unless there are safes or something like that (they better fucking not), nothing you put in a tent is "safe". There's no guarantee that anything you put in a tent will still be there when you get back. 

 

if tents delete then they have a reduced impact in general, why bother setting up a tent with backup gear when you'll lose everything when you die anyway? Secondly, we haven't seen what kind of tents the devs have in mind, but if they have a mix of civilian flouro colored tents, with much rarer camo military tents, i'd be pretty happy, and your stuff is not going to be so easy to hide. 

 

Tent hunting was one of my favorite things to do in the mod, along with trying to set up a secluded camp that i could keep stocked with the gear i found. As long as tents aren't safe, and as long as running is a bitch, you aren't ever going to have a situation where people are going "well it doesn't matter, i can go back to my tent", and if you do have that situation, you're playing with some very stupid people.

It's not realistic. If I kill a player and know were his stash is, I want to rob it. Not have a unrealistic deletion of the stuff he has made happen.

the other two words are

 

"will be happening"

 

so the four words in total:

 

tent raids will be happening then.

 

 

btw, i think the best place to put a tent, is to put it on the middle of any airfield runway.

i mean its a good place because nobody would expect it. true?

I agree i know that wouldnt be popular but it actually adds value to life due to loot... You can work to fill ya tent up with stuff to replace what might get damaged etc or to give to a friend who has nothing . Putting in that work will then make you want to stay alive.

 

Because yes in the mod i liked the idea of a tent for rp reasons for storage reasons but yeah once i got some good stuff stored up i was more careless with my life knowing i had back up gear....

 

But alternative to deletion on death could be say lose ownership of it ( ya know how you could pack up and move your own tent) and having it moved randomly so that gear is still on server but to simulate your a new person you dont know where that tent is.

 

First person to find it can claim ownership( eg be allowed to pack it up and move it ) or of course simply loot or burn it to the ground etc...
