Car Despawning

Recommended Posts

Hello Community,

How you all know the last ( 0.59 ) update brought us some new cool Cars.

I think some of you have some Problems finding the Vehicles, so I thought of an Answer for the Question how to solve this "Problem". I thought of a System that let a Car respawn when there is no interaction within 3 Days ( Not fixed ). But if the Car is in a Car Tent it despawns after one week ( not fixed too ). So you have to "fight" for your Car and not just collect every Car on the map and hide it somewhere in the woods and it will never be found again.

I can see where you're coming from with this post and how you'd like to help the general populations maintain their cars away from trolls and such. . But just like Jeff Goldblum says in Jurassic Park, Nature finds a way :P

 

This would only prompt such peoples to go back to the cars and touch it every once and a while. An unfortunate reality.

If you have a Car Tent you have enough time to prevent it from respawning. Of course you can optimize the Time before it despawns ;)

I don't think the issue is cars that haven't bren touched need respawning , because everyone is using their cars , they aren't as easy to get going like in the mod dayz so I honestly have to say those people hiding vehicles in the woods only have three - four max and those are usually on low pop servers just to get the Hang of vehicles . I'm actually rather pleased with how Vehicles persist , and I don't think despawning them should happen unless it hasn't been touched for 2 + weeks real time , that way you eliminate those that hide vehicles and then never play again, but you won't punish those that forget to "touch their car".

I agree completely. Some people are busy and can't log on every day, does that mean they shouldn't be able to maintain a vehicle?
