zolomus 5 Posted April 4, 2015 Maybe somebody can clarify me on this whole persistence thing. So lets say that I pop a tent down, stash some stuff in it and log out for the night. When I log back in will I have to return to the same server that I used my tent on, or will it "follow" me to other servers? I do mean same type of servers of course like 1pp only types and such. I have 3 different characters that I play on. One is for the public 1pp/3pp, another is on a private server, and the last is "hardcore" server based. I am mainly referring to the public servers when I mean does the tent stay with me or that particular server. Thanks in advance for enlightening me on this question.

BCBasher 2465 Posted April 4, 2015 First off it's not working right now. When it does the tent exist only on the server you pitched it on, hiding a backpack is an alternative as well. Stay tuned for when they fix it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted April 4, 2015 Tents stay on the server you placed them on but you can always pick it up and move it to a different server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCBasher 2465 Posted April 4, 2015 Thanks, that answers my question perfectly. But be warned they are disappearing on server resets on some servers or something to that effect. I'm not sure what the specifics are because I only play on one server but I've lost 2 tents and 3 backpacks and the gear they contained in the last 2 days.

Mookie (original) 799 Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks, that answers my question perfectly. Well, not quite, in that you can go back to the same server (or servers, if you've built multiple camps) and it will all have...magically disappeared (as BC has pointed out twice above). So I suggest you don't invest too heavily in persistence at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eno 1049 Posted April 5, 2015 Yes I concur- tents and backpacks are hit and miss (mostly miss in my experience but I'm seeing some guys say they have had better luck.) Pretty sure mine was on public that had "persistence off" from before- so I'm not sure if the bug involves "forcing" persistence on? I visit a private server that had persistence on pre .55- so if I find another backpack I'll test it out there and see if it works as intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good theory but mine are on a server that was persistence on before the forced persistence. Dropped another improvised courier bag, shuffeled a pair of pants into to see if having contents made a difference. Less than 12 hours later it's gone. I'm basically limited to a handful of servers with no BE ping kick and really only play on one because hopping is... I could at least go Wednesday to Tuesday, now I have no storage some word on this would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing there is I think crafted versus not crafted items despawn faster... thought I'd read they are impacted differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCBasher 2465 Posted April 6, 2015 Only thing there is I think crafted versus not crafted items despawn faster... thought I'd read they are impacted differently. That would be useful to know for sure especially if something has changed in .55. I had a camp of bags crafted and found the week before the update and they lasted from early Wednesday morning to mid day Tuesday when I abandoned them. I have a big military tent down on a private server with a new character now and it lasted 2 restarts so far, one that seemed scheduled and one less than half an hour later.

Lol i wish, I put one down and pitched one on the same server right next to each other just to test it out, Gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
