On top of that, it will eventually upset the vehicle balance because it will show X amount of vehicles on the server (so they won't be spawning in the wild), yet many of them will be useless.

There needs to be a time limit on the locks.

The way that epoch and overpoch works is if the vehicle is stagnant it despair after 7 days. Permalock was a feature in overpoch too, it lead to many people like me stealing wheels and screwing over people who decided to leave their vehicle locked in a field. We'd also destroy choppers that were locked. It made for different tactics (we never checked vehicles).

You are referring to A2 Epoch/Overpoch right? Yes, there were timers for abandoned vehicles. But, players had keys on them. You killed someone - you took their key - you stole their ride. IMO timers need to remain where they are. Half hour is plenty. It gives you enough to time fight and get back to your car. It's even long enough to fight, die, and run back to your car.

Extending timers make vehicles untouchable-and takes them out of play. Basically once an owner, always an owner. It would be BS to have to wait any longer after killing someone to be able to steal their vehicle. You wanna keep a vehicle, build a garage for it. Don't die and have someone there to steal your wheels.

With the half hour timers how many times has any 1 person left a vehicle stashed in the woods and come back to it 30-90 mins later and it not been there? Rarely. You lost your wheels bc you died. Rightfully so !

Only way I see unlimited working is some kind of cleanup script that will delete the vehicle after a few days

If you thought vehicle hoarding was bad now you put unlimited locks without keys then its just gonna turn into used car lots at bases where you cant buy shit. I haven't heard overwhelming cries for unlimted locks ether. Maybe a longer locking period like 24 hours would work for keeping new players who need to store their shit cause they don't have a base but other then that I don't see a huge reason to change it.

Maybe a small compromise be a 45-60 min timer?

Personally i like an hour. Its kind of arbitrary but, i noticed it can take a good 30+ minutes to do any solid looting, or to get to and from a mission when approached from afar.

Pretty close to giving up on this server, folks.

The fatigue system is absolutely ruining my gameplay.

Edit: may return when you guys figure everything out. As of now, my game play experience is terrible on this server. Good luck.

For what it's worth, we had to turn the fatigue on due to the InfiSTAR update. It will ban players due to the no fatigue. Until when/if InfiSTAR fixes this, then fatigue will remain on.

I would rather have to drink a soda or two, rather than deal with a bunch of hackers on the server. To each his own, I guess. We are just trying to provide a fun and hacker free environment. The previous InfiSTAR version was being bypassed by many players and they were able to hack away.

Please do. You guys were/are a great addition to the server and i for one would hate to see you go. All i can say is we are trying very hard to have all of our ducks in a row to offer a complete package, and solutions to some if not all the issues that have arisen for the .3 update.
