Storage System 2.0 (better tents, crates, etc)

[xalienax 621]

We all rember our love/hate relationship with the Mod's tent system that was prone to both glitches and abuse through various means. Heres my ideas for a new semi-realistic storage system.

 

1. Bring back the simple tent with a few improvements.

Give us our simple tent back as an option, however remove tent OWNERSHIP. this was always a stupid idea imho to tie the tent to a character. it doesnt prevent griefing as anyone can just run it over, and theres not one good reason the person who stubles upon your stash should not be able to simply pack up the entire tent.

 

For server clean-up purposes tie tent decay/deletion to either a time scale or time since last access scale, rather then death of the character that placed it. this will insure that empty/abandoned tents in the wilderness can decay or be simply deleted from the server after say..5-10 days without being used/accessed.

 

 

2. Cache

These would be small craft-able wodden boxes that can be burried leaving only a distinct mound or protrusion of some kind indicating its presance. due to its improvised nature and being burries in soil i think regular accessing/maitenance should be required to keep it "alive". this would hold little more then the average player can carry on them

 

3. Military cargo box

Big and heavy, can be transported with cargo inside provided 2 players cooperate to carry it!

Found only at Airfields and military installations, These can carry a considerable arsenal for 4 or 5 guys. can be placed on the groun in a hidden location, Inside a barricaded player made "base" or carried by 2 players (Team-Lift) (perhaps also allow the loading of the entire thing into cars and trucks once they come to be?). Thier rugged military construction makes them slow to decay or degrade compared to improvised solutions, however the requirement for 2 players to team carry them means that these are only suited to cooperative play.

Also, afterthought i just had after a few beers;

Perhaps the craft-able options could come in 2 or 3 sizes with larger containers requiring more materials?

Excellent idea mate.

 

And for the record.. Can we please get a simple tent soon. Tired of not being to have SOME sort of base SOMEWHERE. Just running back and forth gathering things, joining combats etc. We are alot of people who wanna camp too, and have a place we can call base. And I know there's plan for that in the future, but until then, you should handle us that tent as a start.

 

Cant believe this post you made here didnt get more attention. Sadly. :)

I wanna bury my crate with my weapon in our base, that will be the future of the game!

LOL!

 

 

You dont want to have your tent robbed? Just hide it well without any arcade lock...

 

 

(locks for cargo boxes are ok, but only if you have to carry the keys and other people can have lockpicks).

Yeah, hiding shit in RV engine, you must be high on something.

And this is why God invented mountains. I think I'm going to be some sort of DayZ Taliban.

Or a rifle butt.

Locks only keep honest people out.

I like the idea of a storage box being crafted with Wood to put it in the ground plus having to repair / take care of it. Still i feel like wanting to have a tent too; not for storage but for Camping / Shelter from weather / movable base - maybe at some point in devellopment for rest and sleep...

lock picks for a wooden storage ? when you have a axe on your rear ?!

If i saw a crate in the middle of no where, Who knows what's in it?! I wouldn't be banging it or putting sharp objects in it to break it, For all you know they could be booby trapped-

 

You should be able to booby trap tents :D

Really? And you believe someone booby trapping a crate wouldn't ensure that it would go off when lockpicked?

all good ideas i just don't like a team carry option i mean think about how it would be to do that, would one person lose control of his player and have the other one lead or would it just be if one went to far in a different direction they would just drop the box on the ground ... one person should be able to carry but only be able to walk and they should never be too big maybe something for 2 weapons and some ammo. Other then that i like the post and see some potential options that i would hope to see soon.

Sımple tents already in game but you cant use them yet. I should say honestly those tents look like fu.ckn toy. If its not placeholder this is really fail. You seeing size of your character and you looking at tents it must be joke.
