add campgrounds as a location

[d.walker43 196]

Hi guys, I think that campgrounds should be added as a location in dayz. I have several thoughts on this, feel free to add to this list.

 

1: put them in some of the forest areas. Right now the map is filled with huge forests, which is a good thing sometimes. I think that if some campgrounds were added, with lootable campers and buildings, they could be added in remote areas of the map where nothing else is atm.

 

2: make tents spawn here. people use tents at campgrounds, let this be a common spawn spot for tents.

 

3: have lots of outdoors equipment spawn here. stuff like rope, ducttape, fishing supplies, etc. could be a common item to find here.

 

4: Irishroy's idea:

"Maybe also with a usable fireplace with more space (than a portable fireplace-kit) to cook more items on it?"

 

I think that if these were implemented, it would be another place players could loot if they needed something such as a tent or outdoors items. Also, could be common place to find RV's that could be pulled behind your vehicle once they are implemented. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

i like the idea, but massive amounts of forest have been taken out due to new cities, and there are more cities on the way, so there could only be like one or two campgrounds on the map. also because if there are more, it means that every man and his dog will have two or three tents.

I like the idea to go to special places for a higher chance of one type of gear (Backpack stores, beans factory, fishing shop, etc). And this idea right here is a very good example. I don't think that there should be tents all the time, or maybe mostly destroyed tents with holes, broken frame... (no savety/less strorage etc.)
If the spawnrate for a tent is around 1% the spawn rate at camps should be at around 15-25% (that there is atleast 1 tent)

I like it but I wouldn't go to crazy with the tent spawn rate, it should still be rare.

I'd love to see drivable RV's.

I love this idea. However, campground are usually meant for tourist, and as far as my understanding goes, Chernarus isn't much of a tourist spot. I would still love to see this however.
