Tents dissappearing or looted within half a day

[Agony (DayZ) 1]

Me and my friends have placed 5 tents since the update in very remote and hidden places and they have been raided or dissappeared in a half a day time. Are other people experiencing that there tents are being raided extremely fast?

I'd guess you'll have to hide them better... Be creative - Don't ask me how though, I have yet to find even one tent.

With the dynamic loot respawn, cities are pretty empty right now. Which means that people actively go out looking for other people's tents. You can put them in the most remote of places, but that's exactly where people will go looking for them.

Are you sure you were on a persistent server? I have had my tent up for several days now, so far not discovered.

Alternatively, couldn't you just fill a hunting backpack with loot and hide it somewhere? That might be easier/more hidden

How long will it take before hackers develop some tool that lets them auto teleport to the nearest tent for easy loot.

Me and my buddies have experience from the mod with hiding tents, where finding tents was much easier due to heli's and hardly were they raided there.We did not hide the tents in obvious remote places.

 

We put them only on servers where it says persistance : on/enabled.

They probably already are aware of any tents within their network bubble already. I don't think they can 'see' further than that but I'm not sure.

I just placed a leather sack and an improvised courier bag in two random locations on a persistent server with my friend. We'll go back there tomorrow to see if they're still there. The sack can be quite easily seen if you happen upon it but the courier bag is well hidden and can actually not even be picked up (it bugged out in a tree when we made it). So if that's gone I'll know persistence doesn't quite work.

 

EDIT: Looked for my stuff. Leather sack has been taken (someone left his talon backpack there), the bugged out courier bag was still in the tree.
