Locked trucks are a terrible idea.

[Ninj]

Tried playing today- nearly everyone just locks their trucks. You can't transfer materials or do any team work this way. Pretty dumb mechanic for a team game.

Also, not being allowed to take materials out when it's not locked? A guy had to leave and told me to take their truck up to the front line. Couldn't do anything with the stuff. That seems really stupid.

This game is all about communication!

let people know you intentions and you'll be given help.

trust people, and forgive those that haven't learned to trust yet.

I agree something needs doing about locked trucks, so many post about them.

wrench :3 answer to all lock broblemms

[VIPER2207]

i'm playing this game for four days or something now, mostly doing logistics.
I learned to lock my truck real fast. It's not because i want nobody to get into it or because i don't want to help anybody (have been running taxi-service for other players for 3 hours straight last night), but because you get scammed so often, i can't even tell.
Trust me, it annoys me too, because i have to lock and unlock the thing over and over again, i would really love to leave it unlocked, but you just can't do that.

Yesterday evening, i joined a server and built myself a truck and put some fuel in to do my usual logistics-stuff. The moment i put fuel in, another player of my team jumped into the truck, locked it and was about to drive away.
Don't get me wrong, i'm a really patient gamer, i don't get angry fast, most times i would just let that guy drive away, because... why should i worry about stupid ♥♥♥♥ like that, it's simply not worth it. But this situation was the straw that broke the camel's back. I pulled out a HE grenade and blew up the truck including the guy. Of course, i got yelled at in chat because of teamkilling, but meh...

That's why i always lock my vehicles...

There is a problem with the system of lock, team of 10 players privatizes totally the resources of all.
This system of lock is not everything in the spirit team play of the game.
For trucks, it is only necessary that the place of the driver this lock when he lowers, and that the loot is available.
For example the builder of the vehicle can choose who has the right to lead the truck, or to select a team to give him the access.
We are to oblige to destroy our truck to reach the loot to abandon on the map, furthermore if also made that on barracks we let us risk the kick.

My English is bad, I hope that you understand me.

No it's not. Devs need to stop excuse the lack of communication means by existence of discord.

if someone doing logistics has materials in their truck, they're probably on a mission to make a certain thing for the front. Those aren't your materials to take. If you want free materials, check the boxes lying around all of the manufacturing buildings. Having noobs (you) stealing important materials that they dont know how to use properly just ruins things for the whole team. Eventually you learn that if you want to play logistics, you can build your own truck in like 10 minutes and you won't have any more problems.

If I assure you it is our material, me the farm during 10 hours, I supply the base and they the block in baracks and trucks.
Thus there is a problem.

Your english could use some work, but I think I understand what you are saying. You can unlock trucks with the wrench item. If players are blocking things with trucks, you can tell your team to kick him and then just unlock it with wrench and move it. The lock system allows logistics players to actually do logistics without problems. I can't tell you how many times people have tried to steal my truck or materials while transporting crates in town.

This area is in need of some heavy wrenching.

Because everyone is scared of trolls, they lock trucks. Even when they're next to it.

Wrenching is only going to get you team killed, seen as a thief or troll.

Wrenching doesn't get past squad locked vehicles either it appears. So yeah, dumb all round.

well, usually, in team based games like these, theres always the 3 guys in town hall or base of a game, taking vehicles, TKing if its possible, and stealing stuff and logging out.

I once didnt lock my vehicle when i was in town hall, i was supposed to make a quick run to get arty items for an important battle (which we lost, because of next) but i didnt lock the vehicle when i took stuff in. Some random took all the arty items i had there, all my gas, and ran away.

Hence, Locking is needed. The people in the internet are NOT 100% pure in servers like these. Hence i would want whitelisted community servers where people need to go trough acceptance before theyre allowed to join server based on whitelist. There, not locking vehicles isnt an issue because trolls dont use them.

what I would do is make these changes:

1. vehicles have the DRIVER SEAT and STORAGE locked by default. players can ride as passengers unless speciically locked out. Allow vehicles to lock storage without locking out passengers. Have a default setting that can be set, tied to the player profile.

2. vehicles that are locked but have not been occupied by a driver for 20 minutes are automatically unlocked.

just my opinion. on the one hand you don't want to encourage hoarding - that's anti-teamwork - but you also don't want to swing so far in the other direction. when i played the other night i had to constantly ask people to unlock so I could just hitch a ride to the front line. many refused, assuming i was going to jack their resources.

No, 90% of the time those vehicles are doing important supply run.

I dont need to take in people when im not going to the frontline and have more important matter like taking supplies to the outpost in the back.

Just ask for an actual troop logi person to move people, and they do. Frontlines are filled with trucks and theres always someone willing to give a ride if you ask to and from base.

It's not like any game that is a few days old usually has loads of trucks around their primary vehicle factory and it took me literally 15minutes as a brand new player to build my own in the very first game I ever joined. After that, since I started getting a bit more into the game and doing supply runs, I'm really really happy about that mechanic. Having your truck nicked when you are supplying shirts and ammo to a frontline outpost running dry can be game-changing.

The truck has multiple seats for a reason.

The driver should never leave the truck. You should pick up a battle buddy and their job is to load and unload while you retain control of the driver seat.

Added benefits:
-They can open and close gates for faster travel
-They can provide an extra gun during a shootout
-They can help mine resources
-They can help fix your truck faster
-They can help with building faster
