So, Tents removed? Alternatives?

[RootsRasta 0]

Hi guys,

I am so new to DAYZ that I haven't pitched a tent yet.

I saw that the most recent update removed all ability to pitch a tent.

Being someone who has just joined the community I have gathered a few mates to play on with and we finally got a tent, [excitement running high],

only to find out 30mins later about the thread that says they have been removed.

So, I have been playing for 5 days now and have never seen a vehicle, so what are the alternatives?

I really liked the idea of building a little base with a group of people and storing valueables there in case you got shot on a hunting mission.

Cheers,

Roots

Tents haven't been removed...

are you talking about the thread that says all tents OFF THE MAP have been removed?

I just placed a tent yesterday.

Hi Jimbob, thanks for your reply.

My understand was that the latest patch removed the tents completely as people were building cities?

The reason I ask, as I spent 30minues trying to place a tent on the ground, from the tent I found in a supermarket.

No luck, tried flat land, no vegetation etc etc, wasn't having any of it.

Suggestion?

Tents are fully working in game, they are tricky to place but if you keep trying it will eventually go down.
