Alt+F4-ing? Hoarding is the behaviour spoiling this experience. (suggestion)

Recommended Posts

So sick of running around with new players I've introduced to the mod, and trying to find vehicles.

I know it's highly unlikely that they'll be in their expected spawn location, maybe one or two will parked by unwitting players, poorly obscured by a tree near a town. Most (as you know) are parked in a fucking row, surrounded by suspicious amounts of tents at the map edge, and collected (SEE: stolen after others repair) by two or three douchebags.

Yada yada it's part of the game, but with the reintroduction of the chopper to the map, hoarders now have eyes on every vehicle, wherever it may be hidden and regardless of cover. I've flown the chopper (taken from a hoarder camp) and the view into treelines is ludicrous. Every tent, even bicycles can be spotted from hundreds of metres away.

This essentially means, whoever has the chopper, has all of the vehicles. Four, maybe five guys needlessly controlling all of the vehicles for fifty players. Add to this that someone will likely find this pointless showroom and then blow it up, thus endlessly repeating the cycle on every server restart.

My suggestion is this:

If more than two player-saved vehicles are parked within proximity of say 200/300m of each other, they instantly spawn thirty zombies.

You want a car showroom that basically forces players into playing and enjoying the experience in only one way (or endlessly running in featureless hell trying to find your nest of douchebaggery)?

You best be prepared to fight for it and be prepared to defend spread-out clusters of your stolen vehicles and duped tents. There is no need for a group of four people to have nine or more vehicles.

Part rant, part suggestion, I know. But I hope some of you are as bored of this behaviour as I am...
