Car hoarding?

[MinstyGaming 0]

what are your opinions on people hoarding cars? What do you do if you find a bunch of hoarded vehicles?

[bonasera 17]

Destroy them all. Spread the wealth.

You don't find hoarded vehicles. Hoarding isn't taking every vehicle and hiding them under a tree, it's taking every vehicle far enough off the map to make it nearly impossible to reach alive without a vehicle and extra fuel. I wouldn't call stacking vehicles within map hoarding because they will be found within a day or so.

Take whatever one I want/easiest to repair and blow the rest with gun shots or a nade.

[fuzzy4ever 22]

I blow them up. I hate seeing one guy with all the vehicles. I know it's a very obama-like mentality, but that mentality at least works in video games.

Take a nice dump in there camp and move all there cars into a box formation with bear traps all around and wait, just wait.

But who am i to say? I hoard my Heli and URAL ALL TO MY GROUP AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

so much ignorance. Destroyed vehicles will respawn in the same location with the same gear on server restart on any server vehicles are working normally. Also any vehicles saved off the map return to spawn after 24 hours.

I have gathered many vehicles, as after hundreds of hours playing its one of the "end game" type activities you can do. A coodinated crew of half a dozen can easily own 10 vehicles. It has its own limiting factors though.

Any camps with that many cars is easy as hell to spot. You can spread your investment over multiple locations but that actually increases the chance of one of them getting found. Imagine you come back to camp and 1 car is missing.... do you have any idea how long it can take 2-3 people to move 6 cars 2+ k's away?

Every time you leave the base you risk not bringing back the car. Attrition begins to add up. Quad bikes can be flipped... cars can be crashed.. choppers are risky as hell due to hackers wanting to shoot you down in AA tanks (usually how we lose ours). When we get bored and drive down to cherno/electro for some action we only get the car back 1/2 the time.

The only reason people complain about vehicle hoarding is they don't have the patience to go do what the hoarders do... go looking for them instead of just using a lootmap and going to their spawn. Give me 2-3 hours and ill find a vehicle guaranteed. Give me 1 hour and a pushbike and ill find several. Once you have 1 all the rest come faaaaaaaaar easier. Want a vehicle? Make some friends. 3-4 people can search the north end of the map in an hour on foot, checking all the best spots for bases.

insolentfool - Staying true to your name. "Destroyed vehicles will respawn in the same location with the same gear on server restart on any server vehicles are working normally", as of 1.7.2.6 that is no longer true.

you what?

[fuzzy4ever 22]

you what?

My point was those with all the vehicles (Vehicles = money) shouldn't have all the vehicles, so I blow them up so they'll respawn and the rest of the server (United States) can have some of them.

In other words, redistribution of wealth in a video game :P

I used to despise vehicle hoarders but kinda became one myself :/

There are about 6 people in our group and we have 2 ATVs, 1 bike, 1 Ural (that's on it's side every server reset). We use both ATVs constantly and sometimes the bike as well, the Ural is more there for loot storage

I think if people hoard just for the sake of hoarding they deserve to get most of their shit stolen. But if they use them constantly then it's not really hoarding but using a tool to get what you need out of it

I have yet to come across a hoard of vehicles although i hoard some with my partner I play with. we only have a Ural, UAZ, ATV, Offroad Truck, and Bike atm, have yet to get ahold of a damn chopper.

[kryvian 123]

SO the other day I gave away a bike and a van to 2 complete stranger patients. Afterwords I went and fixed a heli fully by myself.

vehicles Correct behaviour is to return to their last saved location on server reset. last saved location is where a player either exited the vehicle or manually saved it.

1.7.2.5 caused many... (but not all) vehicles to return to their spawn every server reset, regardless of them being destroyed or not.

With 1.7.2.6 they will again return to wherever they were last saved.

I'm pretty sure the people who have legitimately gathered a dozen vehicles at one time have a general idea of how they work.

And the name's Insolentfool, not ignorantfool.
