gusmanak 1 Posted June 13, 2012 I ran a forum search and realized how confused people are about the whole vehicle respawn thing... The first question people want to know is what happens to the vehicle count when a vehicle is destroyed? Some say that the vehicle is gone for good, and the vehicle count on the server will slowly decrease until all vehicles are gone and destroyed. Others say that the server is supposed to (Or if not, then should) note the vehicle that is destroyed and respawn a new vehicle in a random location at the next server restart.That's fine and dandy, but as far as I know, vehicle destruction is permanent. So when a vehicle is destroyed it is gone for good, and eventually all vehicles on the server will be gone. If this is the way it works, then the only way to replenish vehicles would be to run some kind of an uber database reset like that of a few days ago, when all the vehicles came back. Unless I'm mistaken, isn't this currently the only way to bring vehicles back? And if so, when one of these resets takes place again, what will happen to vehicles owned by players currently? Will they disappear (As well as the items inside them) and respawn as useless husks elsewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsteph87@live.com 1 Posted June 13, 2012 I have never seen this elaborated on either, and would really like to know how it works.We are supposed to be alpha testers after all, but how can we test if vehicle respawn is working if we don't know whether they are supposed to respawn at all?

gusmanak 1 Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah I think the devs needs to officially let us know how this system works. They've mentioned that "Vehicles are Working" but what does that really mean?For how long?What will happen to them in the long run? And the questions I asked above...

And the questions I asked above...The devs don't want to reveal how the system works because they don't want it abused. There are no database resets, spawn timers, or set spawn locations. Vehicles are spawned in at their discretion. It's that simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It hasn't been implemented yet. I assume they want to solve the vehicle lag issue first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
