Persistence Poles

[thefriendlydutchman 160]

In the mod you had plotpoles which protected your base from being build on so my idea now is quite similar but with a twist :D

 

 

As persitence servers are not working that well and are looted up in no time (which encourages server hopping if you've got a base)

 

we should remove persistence servers and instead get persistence poles

 

 

 

Persistence poles are poles you can stick in the ground creating an ''persistence zone'' 10 meters around the pole, the pole is easily destroyed so people really need to defend or hide their pole (so you cant just build a base in electro with 4 poles, as it is quite risky)

 

 

Items and tents (objects) and cars do not dissapear on server restart when in the persistence pole

 

 

EDIT: a pole will fill up 6x4 so a huge part of your inventory

 

 

 

What if you want to build a bigger base?: a standard small pole has 5 slots and starts off with 10 meters so just enough for a tent and a campfire

 

now when you craft the pole (cookingtripod+burlap wrap (kinda looks like a flag) you can upgrade it by adding ducktaped iron pole to the slots which will make the pole higher and so easier to spot so how bigger the base how easier you will see a burlap flag peak out of the trees.

If the persistence mechanic isn't working, how is adding another object with persistence capabilities going to help? It seems that it would actually be making the system work harder, because now it has to add in a "persistence check" to see if there's a plot pole before deciding whether to keep track of an object. I would think the better solution is to simply keep working on global persistence until it functions correctly.

No you didn't, you must be thinking of Epoch or some such.

Yes, because whenever I go camping I need to carry a pole with me to protect me from other people and if I don't put my pole down first I can't build my tent.

 

Happens to me everytime. And it's quite hard to get yourself a new pole when you're out in the woods.

You must be thinking of a different type of pole ;).

I can imagine a bunch of noobs running around with poles in their hands, frantically staking their claim around Chernarus like this is the Eastern Bloc version of Manifest Destiny or some shit.

The only pole you need to protect and claim your land is breech loaded and already in-game.
