The tent problem...

[faded 13]

OK so most of you guys know that pretty much every time a server restarts it deletes the items in your tent. It's been like this for the last 2 patches now and I don't see why this isn't fixed yet. In my opinion, Rocket should make this there first priority to fix this bug and release it with the 1.7.3 patch which is behind schedule by the looks of it.

[bazbake 456]

I agree. Next server wipe should delete tents and vehicle storage from the game completely. This whole thing is seriously getting to be a problem and I want permadeath back.

[HeHeHe 38]

Idk if it should be "first priority"

but hey, could be a big + for a fix to a minor bug.

[DEOVONTAY MCSLANGA 149]

Our server restarted twice today and our tents were untouched...

Are you sure you're saving them...? Or perhaps someone is just fucking with you. The admin could easily be stealing your things immediately after a reset and just chuckling to himself.

[KField86 237]

Save your tent every time you put in an item there and it will still be there after the restart. This is how people abuse duping, and I agree with someone else. Once there is a fix in, we need a complete wipe of tents and vehicles. I say that knowing I have an L85/AS50/Ghillie/NVG/Rangefinders/Coyote and all the tools on two different characters now(Well ok, one has an SVD camo),. There pretty much isn't perma-death anymore, since everyone just throws all their equipment in a tent, saves it, and then pulls it all back out so that if they die after the server is restarted, they can just run off to their tent and have all their gear back again within an hour because when you press save, it's saving whats in the tent at that moment and not registering that you took it back out, thus creating a duplicate... Without even so much as going into one city to loot anything. It's atrocious honestly. It's so out of hand now, that I'm finding tents at the NWAF with AS50s and silenced M4s in them, along with nightvision and rangefinders. Tents that are not hidden in the slightest. No one sets up a trap tent with that gear inside knowing theirs a potential chance someone could loot something and immediately alt f4 with that item. It's because the value of these items has decreased substantially. This is almost becoming as big a problem as hacking itself(Although I see BE has been on the hunt harder than ever. Props.)

Hell i've got the opposite problem, my tents keep duplicating themselves and overflowing with m16's and winchesters. Theres literally piles of crap lying on the floor every time i get back to camp because the tent has overflown.

Was fun at first but now just annoying.

No our tent does this also. There are certain items (the first ones we placed in the tent) that respawn in the tent after every restart even if they have been taken out of the tent otherwise. And nothing in excess of these specific items seems to make it through a restart.

The problem isn't so much the fact that your tents don't disappear when you die, it's that tents are so easily dupable.

Think about it, what's the point of a tent if it disappears when you die? To hold one, maybe two alternate guns you like to use sometimes? And even then, you have to go through the pain in the ass of walking back to your tent when you want to switch from an AS50 to an L85 or whatever. If tents were sufficiently rare (which they currently are) and were no longer able to be duped things would be balanced; you get lucky and get a rare tent, congrats you have a place to stash some gear so you can go back to it when you die.

And on duping items using tents, there's a very simple solution and I'm really amazed that it hasn't been implemented. Just force a "Save Tent" function every time someone accesses the gear. Problem solved.

It sounds like your server might just be really shitty if some items (the older ones specifically) are being saved and the newer ones aren't. I would sitting there, saving the tent repeatedly for a few minutes and see if something changes. Otherwise I would just switch servers. It's sad, but it is extremely hard to find a reliable server for this game.

I recommend you suggest that in the suggestions section of the forum because it is a fantastic idea for solving tent duping

Ah that explains why our stuff keeps duping. I save constantly because I've forogotten to save the tents when putting stuff in them and lost everythign on a restart. So everytime I put something in I save, just incase there is a server restart halfway putting stuff into my tent

No I'm positive I am saving it every time I use it and I'm sure no one is messing with us because I also have an ATV with some weapons and other stuff on it and it is untouched.

Perfect in all honesty, this is all that needs to happen. Every time an item is removed, or added...the tent just saves automatically. It would be a proper band-aid fix until the problem can be addressed in the code itself.

If you're having tent problems I feel bad for you son.

I got 99 items and my tent holds none.

[Cryptex (DayZ) 24]

I play on different servers and server A tents are stable. Sometimes the server restarts and the tent does a roll back to the items it had in it 1 day ago.

On server B the items in the tent just disappear every reset.
