Persistent Container AKA Tents? coming next update

[soulfirez 901]

yeah I can see your point as well but i'm sure some creative thinking could come up with something rather than, it can't be done, the end.

wasnt the plan at some point under ground bases?? they sound like they would be pretty safe ( dont know if the idea has changed  now) but it was mentioned as it would be able to be instanced to any server???

I dunno, not that I've read, something simple like garages or something would do the trick  just make sure there are hundreds of them through out the map making it difficult to camp them.  You put you vehicle / stuff into a garage, disconnect then next time you join you spawn back in with your vehicle / stuff and off you go on your merry way..

not to be thick, but reading what I see here it is officialy the case that tents have not been implemented yet?

 

Great, I have been running around for nothing. As a single player I absoutley need to do loot farming to have something to survive me.

As long as the volume of the tent or backpack is limited, and as long as the tent or backpack is bound to ONE server, I have no problem accepting these as part of the game...  for a couple of reasons...

 

First, you will still respawn with nothing.  a 4-slot pair of pants.  You have to survive long enough to Get TO your backpack.  By then, hopefully, you have more storage slots, or you wont be able to re-equip yourself with all the goodies you have stored.  Perhaps you stored a pair of nice fatigues and storage vest in your tent.  There's 8 slots.

 

Of course you'd want to pack away 2-3 cans of beanie weinies and a 4-pack or pipsi.  There's a few more slots.

 

Pistol, extra ammo, Clip..  More slots.  I'm hoping the storage space will be somewhat limited so you have to think carefully what you store.

 

Second...  Once re-equipped, now you have to make some supply runs to restock your tent/backpack.  There's some killer time.

 

I'm not sure if heading to a backpack stashed all the way across the map is easier than simply heading to towns/bases and gearing up.

 

So overall, they do not bother me much.

 

Now.. if they move to whatever server you log in on...  I'm not sure I like that.

I pretty much have zero opinion on this. While I'd much rather have a 1person tent. A place to store a pack at your feet, sleeping bag to slow the consumption of food,, maybe even heal you quicker if injured (I'm looking at you broken legs).

I already get by easily with the 12slot courier pack, brown hunting pants, and brown hoodie. Plenty of space for food, bandages, box of ammo, cam opener, splint, compass, and a canteen or two.

The backpack I'm sure will be the first of many permanent containers. This game would not be fun at all w/o these containers for any of those who think otherwise, ppl like me who have died a bunch played a bunch and killed more than my share, we need something else. A lot of us have become hoarders and now with the release of these containers I'm sure we'll level up to be loot goblins lol. It's going to bring out another gameplay feature on it's own, and who doesn't like more features.

Hi, I like the backpack permanent idea.

I would like to see tents also but we will need to be able to cover tents with leaves or something, in the mod it was really difficult to hide your tent properly.

I think we'll need bigger containers for storing big vehicle components like wheels etc in the future.

I'm really not sure persistent storage can ever work properly unless the game ties each character to a single server, and disallows you from respawning in the same server where you died.

 

But this would cause all sorts of other problems.

 

Therefore, you either have to accept that persistent storage will be exploitable, or you don't include it at all.
