Base Decay Timer

[Hellfire]

Hi,

i usually dont go on forums to complain or tell developpers how to do what with their game, but this time i have to.

The Auto decay timer for the base is 7 days, ONE week. That is just absolutely ridiculous.
I have about 1000 hours in the game and im here since the release, so i naturally dont have a problem getting loot und other good stuff. I really think deadside has a lot of potential and i hope it succeedes. BUT, i have a job and other things to do and its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ridiculous that i cant even go 1 week on vacation without my base getting deleted.

Even with the supporter pack, which i have, i can easily fill my 2 Banks in the safezones within 2 days of playing, So if i want to store more stuff, i NEED to make a base with storage boxes and i like doing so, but i have to start completely over again because i cant log in for ONE week???

This game mechanic literally punishes you for playing, looting and PvPing by deleting almost everything i have just because i had the audacity to go on vacation for 1 week. I understand that u have a liitle development team and all that, but changing the decay time from 1 week to 3 weeks doesnt take much effort and would actually be a real qol improvement...

Its still a video game and supposed to be fun, but if i have to start over again with base building and replacing eeverything a had stored in it, it starts to feel like a chore and not a video game anymore. at some point im going to give up on deadside just because of this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ decay timer.

Thanks for reading my rant and good Hunting to yall

So the campfires (and items stored in them) impacted server performance but bigger bases with even more stuff in them do not? Then I guess the devs (who know a few more things about their game than a bunch of randos) implemented a short timer on them for no reason LOL

If i understood the devs right, the goal for 1.0 release is to have the full map unlocked with a 100 players being able to play at the same time, so getting better servers and working on server stability has to be done anyways at some point

No, this is an online game only, if you cannot keep up with it, perhaps find something else to play that is less demanding. Also be glad that other players or NPCs cannot destroy your base while you are gone. One last thing, this is an EA game, consider that any progress you ever made, any base you built, etc will most likely be wiped when 1.0 is released.

Devs take note of this comment. I was going to buy but now I'm not. I don't need this kind of grief in my life!. Reset at 1.0 is acceptable, but one week time is not enough for me either.

Thank you!, thats exactly what i mean, its keeping people from even testing out the game because they cant dedicate all their free time to it, exactly one of my original points!

The base really does not have any purpose, the game is focused on PVP and doing missions against AI, plus you can craft respawn points or respawn at the nearest town. Bases are just good for hoarders who must collect thousands of wood logs to build a fort that has zero purpose. All you need is a land claim, water collector, and workbench to fix your guns.

Wrong, just plain wrong, Base building, raiding other bases and defending your own base is litterally one of the main pillars of the game and seeing how many players build bases on the server i play on indicates that most people like that aspect too, instead of just having a place in the woods to repair guns and fill up water, the just dont have the time to start over everytime they cant log in for a week...

And what exactly do you store at your base in all those crates? Most likely tools and building materials to... Expand your existing base, just like 100% of the guys I raid. All they have are crates after crates of wood logs, nails, metal, wires, etc. All useless junk with zero value. Like I said above, all you need is a water collector and a workbench, it is so easy to quickly get cash that really nothing else than that has to be stored in the safe zones (also why the devs limited the cash per slot btw). Spawn fresh, buy high tier gear, go do epic missions or hunt the convoy, and kill fort builders like you peeps on the way.

I dont know what kind of bases you are raiding but i store my guns, armor, helmets and other high tier stuff in my base. if i loot an vsd or an m99 from someone, its store it in my base because its not worth selling them and even if it was worth moneywise, it wouldnt like to sell , because money stacks now take up so much space.

i need about 2-3 days to completely finish my base usually and then i trow aout all the building stuff. Besides that, who is doing what with their bases is personal choice, if u dont like it, dont build it, its that simple, but my original point stands, 1 week decay timer is not enough to keep people interested. Im sure if we made a poll what people would like more, 1 week or 3 weeks, the results would be 90% for the 3 weeks

"if u dont like it, dont build it, its that simple" I already said I don't need a base and never build one, I really do not understand why you keep hoarding all that stuff in your base, you do know it just literally sits there right? And seriously, money takes too much space? Five 100k stacks take way less space than the guns and gears you stack up to reach that amount.

I agree that the auto-decay timer for the base should be more than 7 days. Please adjust!
I just got back from vacation and my base is gone. :(

[Beud]

I agree with you. It's like the wipe base with each update. It's unbearable

[NoDMoD]

3 weeks minimum

[BodyCount]

+1 I Agree if you go away for holidays for a week or two your base is gone and all your hard work ! This needs to change !

[NoDMoD]

Suggestion, add a request function for prolonging the period for 3-4 weeks, which can be used twice a year (or three times).

[JunkMan]

Base decay can be set to 15 days.

[Germes]

It should be something ( like request for delay in case of vocation or so).
Going on vocation soon - expecting wipe my base :(

[Preacher]

7 days is definitely too short, 14 would be much better but 30 ideal.
