Something needs to be done about tents...

Hi I'm going to talk about some of the issues with tents at the moment,

After playing DayZ for a few weeks me and my mates decided to set up a camp, to have some safety and to be able to quickly regear after we died. However I find that first putting down tents is way to troublesome, it needs to easier because at the moment the only way to get a tent down is to walk around in a circle with the 'gear' up as you spam 'place tent' until it finally gets up. So in our camp, we got about four-five tents down after many tries of spamming around. After a server restart we came back to this: http://i.imgur.com/0s0y6.jpg This happends every time the server restarts, more tents. We pack down most of the tents and after about collecting 30 or so into a tent we gave up and we just let those tents be there everytime the server restarts. Something needs to be done about this. Maybe you could wipe the tents if they havn't been 'saved' within a week or two and if new tents are placed and not saved they will also be wiped upon server restart. Also tents don't stay gone if you pack them down or destroy them.

Thanks for reading.

Use it to your advantage, use a really hidden tent to pack your stuff in the middle, leave the rest empty, people will come to loot and probably give up after 7 or so tents of nothing, leaving your stuff all good in the hood.

I don't like the sound of that. Not only will it put a load on the server but it just takes the immersion out of it if you can get 30 tents for free if you find one. It's also not very optimal, I will also be having issues with finding the right tent, and it doesn't look pretty either ;) After finding a pickup this is what my camp looked like: http://i.imgur.com/5cPCM.jpg
