excitable1 156 Posted February 13, 2014 I know its alpha.I know more stuff will be added. But. would be nice to see tents added so we have something else to do. think about it. if tents were added, we would have a way to store some items (keep the tent storage fairly low) now instead of just running around bored we could start hunting for peoples camps. when I first got into the mod, this is what me and another would do most times.... we would find a camp and write down the location and also what kind of gear was there. was a crap ton of fun as you had no idea if the camp owner was near by. what do you think? just trying to suggest something that could add a bit more fun into the game, and get people off the coast..

spartanxapathy 203 Posted February 13, 2014 While I am not really worried about when they come in, they will when dev team is ready, I used to do the same thing in the mod. I actually didn't mind a Kamenka spawn because I could just east of the western debug area and camps all over the place. Kitted and someone else did all the work :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naraga 45 Posted February 13, 2014 Tents were a horrible part of the mod, and would pay to not see them back. If you die you die, shouldn't be able to have a few characters worth of gear stored somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EchoRomeoCharlie 19 Posted February 13, 2014 to add to that,if you die ...your dead..you should stay dead. Yeah...that character does stay dead...which is why you spawn with nothing and no stores that you put together in your previous life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually didn't mind a Kamenka spawn because I could just east of the western debug area and camps all over the place. Kitted and someone else did all the work :) Ohhh yeah. The dreaded Kamenka spawn before you could choose locations. That was always a laugher because smart players always had a small base camp near it on the Western border. As you said it was an opportunity to gear up quickly at little risk. Will always remember when our group of 3 ran the Western border and hit a massive camp that literally had every weapon in the game. 6 vehicles and a rocket launcher man. Rarest of the rare. Never did get a chance to fire it in anger though. <sad face> Good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathlove 2283 Posted February 13, 2014 This is incredibly stupid but for some reason I WANT THIS NOW OMG.They had something like this in zombie land if im not mistaken but i haven't seen the movie yet. But yeah man even in Dead Rising 2 bright lights EVERYWHERE and zombies by the thousands attracted to them. Could give some awesome loot inside of a place like that to but with SUPER SUPER high risk. Would take an entire squad just to secure one section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ovomaltine 30 Posted February 13, 2014 One question, i dont know if anyone can answer it.Will "private" tents spawn and unspawn at their last location with the player connect and disconnect?Like a second player entity with some inventory slots, but only being static and having a Tent texture?Or will they consist and have to be put back into your inventory before u leave a server?!?! Cuz that wouldnt be cool.I wanna be able to leave one server with my tent in the woods somewhere else, then continue playing the next day, maybe on another server, and my tent will spawn at the same place there when I reconnect.Anybody knows something about the planned mechanics?

The way tents worked in the mod was that they were persistent articles that stayed on the server where you placed them. They would persist until they were physically destroyed or the admins did a server cleanup which was usually rare. Tents were and should not be tied to player presence IMO as that kind of defeats the open world concept. Our group had a tent city of 5 or more tents that was never compromised. Super secret location... sorry can't share. Hopefully the SA will have much better placement physics as the last time I played the mod they fucked it up and made it impossible to accurately place your tents.

Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 13, 2014 If they do add tents it should only be storage for that characters life. Once you're dead, you're tent is gone. Also without proper gear spawn rotation tents are useless with the super fast server reset gear farm that going on with the game right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already can predict that people will hide their tents on unpopular servers and just server hop to popular servers. So lowest populated servers will have the most hidden tents.
