pitched tents in water - will they last?

[Dayzo 182]

I just had two 'water tents' survive several restarts, but then they both vanished

after the last restart (coincidentally or not, after the server software was updated

to the latest release). Several other tents disappeared, but after a subsequent

restart most of those came back, but my 'water tents' didn't.

So, if you pitch tents in water will they be purposely wiped for being in a 'wrong place',

or do they stand just as much chance as disappearing as tents pitched elsewhere?

Thanks.

Underwater counts as off the map now?

is that confirmed ? it was about the only place some one could put a tent and actually HIDE it from others, just about every other above ground location is just far to exposed and far to easily spotted from ground and the air.

Now if only I could get my bicycle out of that dam. For real who puts a dam in the middle of the field? Farmers I guess.

IDK I live under a bridge (same spot multiple servers) and no one seems to find my camps... Of course they're more or less Geo caches then camps.

(Edit) And if they are found anyone is welcome to take what they need. I just hate when people cocks trash my small camps. Not like they are filled with high end duped gear.

Well, that's what I'm asking really.

The server I use already had a problem with tents bugging and disappearing. So I was expecting them to disappear at some point (but then perhaps also reappear after one or two restarts). But now that the server was updated, and they haven't reappeared, I'm thinking that one of the developers might have coded it to wipe tents that are pitched in strange places like in water and inside rocks, as well as off-map.

underwater tents will dissapear randomly, dont put them in the water, they lose items and disapearing

On the server I use, all tents disappeared randomly regardless whether they're in water on not.

With the server update, I'm wondering firstly if that bug has been fixed for properly placed tents,

and secondly, if water tents will disappear for good on every reboot for being 'off the map'.

I will test this myself when I have some spare tents, but that probably won't be for a couple of

weeks since they're hard to come by. In the meantime, if anyone has lost their water tents but

their other's have stayed intact, I'd love to know about it.
