"wastes claim after 7 days" i hope it works, it would suck to lose a tent full of own created goods, oh uh... about that, how it works? does it check who "enters" that location? and if car then "who uses it"?
"- Fixed the smallest bug ever."
;D made me smile

What does that mean exatcly? Unused means what? That you don't enter it? That you don't put stuff in it? Or that you don't have any stuff in it? Can we get some explanation?

That you don't enter it. And well...we may make it longer after some time, but initially, we need to do some cleanup (looots of abandoned maps).
-
@up
OK. Thank you for explanation.
-
That you don't enter it. And well...we may make it longer after some time, but initially, we need to do some cleanup (looots of abandoned maps).
But if you fail with that you won't just clean map from unused tents but from used too :/
-
scypior server is off for now?

You mean some bug? You bet:)

This is probably a stupid question, but that is 7 real-life days, right?....RIGHT?

The only thing left after a break is you character and your bank account? Now that is harsh. What would be next; taxes in the bank account? To slowly burn the money out. Character degradation over time?
Well I understand something is necessary to cull all the junk that is filling the supposedly desertic wasteland. What about a way of suspending the account removing temporally all the possessions of that account, but restorable without penalties. Or maybe more information, like an email, so the server could notify the user about an tent/car expiration. Yeah WiP I know let's wait.
-

I don't know if you missed it, but you actually get interest for storing your money in the bank, unless they already have to much (then it's at 0%).

If tents will be deleted in 7 days I have suggest to gm's/devs
add base for only one player (or just limit of minimum players is 1) that should help all people in wasteland who want have many of space and be only one
bcz when i want to buy base (depot), I was must organise my friends to leave his base and follow me to buy a base

Don't use this file, it will break the dat update.
Use updater again, it should work now.
-

what can i do about my tent?
hows this work with shared tents? if i built the tent and don't enter it for a long while, but my friend who can see the tent does often.
what will happen here?
-
my posts are invisible ;]

The new faction004.dat is still missing the Town/World entry and preview graphics.
( Bug report: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=1025.0 )
-
No, it's in faction003.dat.
We upload new files to the updater. Wait 5 minutes.
-
Okay, fixed. Wait a bit, then run updater.

It forces us to log in on every account at least once a week. This combined with 10 min anti alt is totally not fun, sry.
-
What about the cars parked in the cities? I think that it should be punished too, you cannot park your car forever... and sometimes it is annoying. For example there are 2 in Junktown entrance and they have been there for so long, they are not only blocking the way but they are also being used to ambush players ,since the guards can´t shoot through the cars some people would hide behind them.

Cars will disappear from cities really soon. Trust me 8)

Very impressive post, trust me. ;D
Where is moderator, for junk such post as above? It doesnt solve the player problem, and there is no answer to his/her hidden question, it is only confirm the fact, that the cars will be deleted.
The problem is still. Such feature is not liked by players, but GM ignorance is not liked too, Ms Wipe.
-
GM ignorance
Pffft, be lucky I'm not a GM.
-
Such feature is needed to not flood the worldmap with endless objects, which leads in more needed space, which leads in more server crashs.
-
And that answer is satisfying. Thanks Lexx. But how do you plan to solve the problem of those players who need to take a longer break of game? Vacations, computer crash, sick, or other real-life things?
-
tell your friend to log-in for you sometimes
-
tell your friend to log-in for you sometimes
that's what i was thinkin'..
-
is not how it should be...
"tell your friend to log-in in your account"
is not valid.
I don't want to share my char with my friends or my mom or whoever.. just to save my tent.

agreed lol..

This is really a good update. It's good to see the devs responding to the players suggestions. :)

We will optimize the game from time to time, but this one is a bit tricky, so we needed to find a fast way to get rid of a lot maps. As example, we got more than 3000 tent maps already and every day approx 100 have been added (and nearly none deleted).
-
Think about such feature. This is example and suggestion of course.
If player will plane to resign of playing game, he could dismantle a tent and return brahmin skins and items to his inventory.
Then such overloaded player could be automatically teleported to worldmap for safe logout for a long time.
He will preserve his stuff, and when he return to play after a month of break he can make his tent as new and he will have his stuff.
If player will not plan to make break of playing, because some real life issues could happen and he could not log to game in 7 days (less or more) then the game will do automatically things written above.
-
Ah, one more note...The first "wave" of cleanup should come sooner than 7 days from that update. I think the day after tommorow. I wanted to make it faster (the initial cleanup), cause it's a memory burden to keep those useless locations... (it piled up after those months since wipe).
-
I am afraid lot of people will be pissed about loosing their tents full of stuff. If there will be a cleanup, it would deserve some announcment, because not everyone reads the discussions under changelogs.

Men it`s already announced in launcher, is it not sufficient? Everybody see this when launching the game so no excuses, besides it`s beta test, it`ll be wiped anyway stop whining.
And if this will reduce lags and increase stability, i really appreciate this cleanup.
-
Is it only unused tents being wiped? Or all?
Also, newest changelog says you can radio for help... more details? Any specific channel?
-
All tents that are not used after - at the moment - 7 days are deleted. This means, if you don't visit your tent for 7 days, its gone. We need a shorter timeframe for now to clean up the worldmap. Later we will higher the timer a bit.
About radio help. You have to take the radio in your hand and set a channel. If you now send a help request, everyone who has a radio in his hands + your channel, will get your position on the worldmap.
-
Next time when updates comes?
1 week,2 weeks?
-
Not with next update.
-
What's the matter with these tents? I am in his tent with another player is full of different things. It will be difficult for me to take the time to first base but I would rather have these things in the tent so that others do not see them. What's this all about??
-
About tent- if you enter don't enter before seven day's time . Tent will be delete ;p.
-
So my tent, no one can see? A little stupid this idea. Anyone will be able to log for a week, he will not have the internet and lose all their possessions.
-
Hey, week in real time or week in game? ..
-

Let's say it's not 'an idea' but rather will to cleanup a world a bit after those months since wipe. And the world...well, eats hardware resources...
-
People, don't whine 'cause you think that's "stupid" or "useless". It's for the servor stability, because it doesn't seems to be like that, but hundreds of empty tents or full of useless items suck resources a lot, as scypior said.
Hey, week in real time or week in game? ..
Real time of course !
-
Well... How should I start...
I'm playing only during the weekends and only if I have the time. Last weekend I had not. You can imagine what happened. ;D
To make it worse, I've finished last session while traveling to Modoc to check out if there are any PKs. Left all my stuff in the tent. :o
I don't enjoy those new changes; I don't even have a physical possibility to play during monday-friday period of time so my char will from now on live in the constant danger of being half-wiped. And more importantly I'm "nude" once again. I don't even have a flint or brahmin hide, nor armor or weapon. Just like some %$^&% level 1.
So there is one question I'd like to ask:
Is there any possibility to get my tent/stuff back, at least partially?
Also: Change the value of tent-killer timer to at least 14 days? Pleeeeasse?
I know I'm a minority here, but in current situation playing for me is kinda... pointless.
-
You're not the minority, people don't want tent-wiping. The devs said its temporary, you might want to make a thread in the suggestions forum about it.
-
As if one more thread will change everything.
