What is the exactly sense of tents, when every loot regarding if it's in or outside from tents is persistent, why do we need those containers?

Maybe they protect against the elements. Like...leave a gun just out on the ground and its condition will degrade, but inside a tent and its more protected :)

[crazykage 1063]

Don't get too hyped.

 

I look forward to functional, persistent storage as much as anyone else BUT:

 

I am willing to bet they (tents) will be an EXTREMELY rare loot item. You will either:

 

NEVER find one.

 

OR:

 

NEVER find one, and resort to server hoping, and STILL never find one because other hopers beat you too it.

 

ALSO, don't forget the DayZ Murphy's law:

 

You will NEVER find what you seek. And when you DO, you are mere moments away from some disaster that will take it from you.

Your comment is stupid what the hell fucks going on in your head? If I and many ppl never can find any item in game so why you adding that item in this damn game. We trying fuckıng get rid of disgusting server hoppers you saying about server hopping this is bullshit are you getting anythin in real life by server hopping helll noo. Devs should desing game to prevent server hopping. İts big problem server hopping is not fine.

Taking bets on how it will be still possible to pitch tents in a way it was on the Mod: Find a not enterable building, deploy tend into the house that way that only a tiny corner is visible, enjoy a very hard to find depot.

It took literally ALL of my not inconsiderable reading comprehension skills to read your comment, filter out the nonsense, and understand what you were trying to say. 

 

And you say MY comment was stupid.

 

I did not, at ANY point, suggest that server hoping was right or ok (which, depending on the circumstances and the player's intent, in an ALPHA testing stage, is debatable to begin with). What I DID say was that people would resort to it.

 

So tell me, oh one who fornicates with mothers. Dost thou speaketh English?

Let's make sure they work properly before we get too excited. I can only imagine the rage it will induce when someone puts their precious M4 in one and it disappears immediately or after a restart. Good news to hear though

I heard, you can craft one with 10 ashwood sticks, 400 rags, and a sewing kit...

And THAT is why NOTHING in this game, at this stage of development, should be SO rare or hard to find that you could search for days and not find it. How are we to test, properly, all the subtle nuances and interactions of all the items against the game world and one another, if we cant even FIND them?

Adjust the loot tables to make certain items rare in BETA. That is the time when we should focus on bug fixing and gameplay balancing.

Also: am excited for tents, but you know what I REALLY want? Realistic ballistics....and a pony.

Which items are too rare for you to find atm?

Which items are too rare for you to find atm?

Well, bear in mind that I speak in general terms; ie. there shouldn't, at this point, be such a thing as a "rare" item. That's an aspect of gameplay, NOT testing. Gameplay concepts like that can wait until the game is in a more complete state.

But specifically? I have never even SEEN an AK, MP5, Pristine ACOG, and have had and EXTREMELY hard time finding arrows and crossbow bolts. Seriously. I don't get it. Why give us a crossbow to test out, but make the bolts SO exceedingly rare (in addition to being unrecoverable), that the players have a difficult time finding them and testing them.

I mean, what happens if somehow, a bug makes it past beta, and a player fires a bolt at this ONE tree or something, that causes every player to suddenly teleport 100 feet into the air and be stuck there, floating. And all because nobody KNEW about the bug, because few people could find the bolts to test the crossbow out.

An extreme example, I know, but I feel it illustrates my point.

I've not seen an LRS in quite some time, actually I've only ever found 1.

 

But tents do sound interesting, I'd like to better understand the vision of how they'll be used. I hadn't been following the whole tent discussion because I didn't think it was going to happen anytime soon. Maybe someone who's up on the topic or has an idea of what Dean & crew have hinted at could add some color on:

1. If I pitch a tent and it's "persistent", does it exist everywhere or only on servers where I am currently logged in?
2. Are tents meant to be persistent storage? So if I stash some guns and ammo there, can someone else find it and loot it?

[Etherious 907]

Well, in fact Tents were already in this experimental update, but according to Brian Hicks, they were EXTREMELY rare. So, in this next update they will be changed to probably just uncommon or even rare. He never said what they would change the loot chance to.

As far as I understand it....just like the mod so...

 

1, Yes, only on the server you pitched it on though. It stays when you are logged off aswell.

2, Yes and yes. Your tent will always be at risk of someone finding ad looting it. When vehicles come running over tents may become a hobby for some aswell lol

1. Persistent on that one server.

2. Yes, other people will be able to steal/loot your tent too.

Well in experimental before this you didnt need a tent really as everything was persistant you could drop items in a non looting building that no ones goes in and come back the next day after serverl restarts and holy hell its alll still there.

 

Tents will only be on the server you place them and yes someone else can find and loot your shit..

I agree, but persistent storage is just around the corner, so this will alleviate the problem to to a huge extent. You'll be able to leave caches of equipment in certain locations, and deposit stuff there to build up collections of the rarer loot over time without having to carry it around.

 

I have found crossbow bolts and composite arrows on rare occasions recently, and would have a decent number of them had I been able to store them somewhere.

Tents are NOT required for persistent storage. You can just drop something somewhere and it will survive a server-restart, I believe.

It will survive a server restart for only a certain amount of time afterwards. They said they are cleaning up the system for that.
