Anti-Persistent amirite

[ir3mix 0]

Tents and Vehicles and all other sorts of storage do not actually SAVE anything. That's right. Anything you could ever work towards just disappears for whatever reason. Rocket, I haven't played in a couple weeks because, like you said, we should play this game not to have an all out battle, but to survive and thrive. How can I even begin to survive when I can't establish a camp, a base of operations, in the middle of a forest in the middle of nowhere? I had a car full of goodies, I walk maybe 100 yards from it, I come back, it's gone. I have tents full of goodies that me and some friends spent days gathering for. Somehow everything disappeared within those tents. If there is ONE single thing breaking this entire game for me, it is not being able to live a PERSISTENT life in the wilderness. You even said it's supposed to be persistent, but it's really not. Now I would understand this is happening because it's Arma 2's engine, but any form of assurance that this will be fixed in the future will secure me and about 10 others at playing the game later on. There is a trend after all - you play for a couple weeks, you learn how to dodge zombies, scour towns for goods/weapons, kill other players, dodge other players, etc. After a while, you want to actually SURVIVE a different way. But you find out you can't.. because the world isn't really persistent at all. Only your character is, making it so very unrealistic and repetitive and boring to have to scavenge town after town every single time you login. Easily fixed by having tents and cars WORK. Yeah it's drives me insane lol

ITT ; I'm a massive hoarder who doesn't understand the instability issues of an alpha test.

Silly question but, are you sure you car wasn't stolen and your tents raided?

Also, Alpha.

Pfft that happens all the time man, learn to save your stuff properly one you figure it out you won't lose anything.

Also I parked my ATV near one of my tents and it "vibrated" over one of our tents with our guns and ammo and flattened it. Get over yourself shit happens.

Also i'm not allowed to park my ATV near our camp anymore :(

I've never had tents or cars randomly empty their contents, and I have been storing things since 1.6.0.

I've had tents and cars lose their entire inventory before. This is not an isolated case.

Rocket will get around to fixing it eventually.

Count yourself lucky. I've had multiple tents eat my gear, very easy for me to encounter. Once the tent starts saving gear it's all peachy, but storing loot is really overrated right now anyway there's so much of it freaking everywhere.

@OP: Enjoy the time when you don't have gear if you are frustrated with the inventory system. The 1.7.1.5 inventory system has just as good of a ensuring your demise as a bandit.
