When do we get Tents

Recommended Posts

i hope in the next 4 weeks, what do you think?

I think the right question is: when do we get persistent objects? Tents (or more general - persistent containers in whatever form) will follow after that

As I understood the first steps to create persistent objects are being taken by the devs.

besides the fact that the coding of the tents is done as far as i know

What use would a tent be to you when you can only pitch it for a few hours and if you get session lost you lose it?

Are you looking at just having some place to go lay down or something??

 

I thought the killer part was the persistent storage?? If so, then it could just be a specialized container of about 12 slots that you can take and drop in the woods. A tent isn't necessary at all. I have NO desire to ever see a tent. Experience shows that after each patch, tent loot disappears. I figure it's just as likely our persistent gear will disappear from any erected tent as well.

Do you need tents or do you just want persistent storage? That can be done also with backpacks, fridges etc.

Will we be able to enter tents or are they only for loot storage?

The reason I'm asking is camera has a hard time when a player enters a hunting cabin and these cabins are a lot bigger than tents.

Well, Rocket said they are CURRENTLY working on in game containers like the refrigerator and over etc. Im sure once they get that mechanic dealt with in the server code it wouldn't be hard to finally implement tents.

You are being rather obtuse so no it isn't clear.

See, you are confusing that "need" word with the word "want". They do not mean the same thing. You want tents,  you in no way need them. 

Tents were fairly awful. They were easy to see, easy to destroy, and buggy as heck when storing things. I used to set 2-3 up in an area where someone might set up a base and then about 200m away dig in my stashes in a better concealed place. Throw some semi garbage in the tents and the occasional find like antibiotics and check them every so often to see what the traffic is. People would loot the tents and not find the stashes for the most part. 

I, for one, am hoping they use tents for purposes other than just storage or storage and give us other options for persistent storage.

Need is not a colloquial term that relates to want. It is a term thrown about by those with an overblown sense of entitlement on a regular basis and I could see how they could consider the two the same since they tend to assume every little whim they have must be fulfilled. 

Someone states they need chocolate. I then assume they are diabetic with low sugar and need the quick boost, or maybe have a migraine and need a small dose of caffeine. Those are actual "needs". If chocolate is not available I might help them find a substitute like a soda pop which can have much the same effects. I might ask what their particular need for that is so I can give them orange juice for the sugar or coffee for the caffeine. 

If they go, "Oh well I just felt like some chocolate." then that was a "want" not a "need".

Yes I am a pedantic ass, but you don't "need" anything in a GAME you want it.
