Should Boats Despawn?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello,
I play on a PlayStation official server on the new FrostLine DLC Sakhal map. I was invited to a PlayStation party where regular players in the server share gameplay footage and generally chat. In that group, a player recently shared a photo of 7 boats they had hidden on the ice sheet, effectively ending any chance for me to find a boat on my regular server.

For this reason, I strongly believe that boats should despawn. Most players like me have never seen a boat let alone have the opportunity to ride in one and we never will with this boat hoarding behavior. It would greatly balance that aspect of the game if the boats despawned after some time.

I hope you seriously consider some changes to help with this. I really enjoy all the other facets of Sakhal and would love an opportunity to find a boat.

geometry dash lite: What about a system combining timed and location-based despawning?

This is not only a problem of the Sahal map. I forgot the last time I saw a boat on Chernarus. They are simply collected in one place, or driven along rivers deep into the map, once I saw a boat under a bridge. Hunting for cars makes sense, since they are multifunctional transport. Although meeting a car at a respawn point is more often an exception than a rule. But boats have a very limited use, it is simply a bonus to movement on water and that's all. It would be great if boats respawned after some fixed time, for example every hour, two, four, and so on.

I'm not a fan of the changes proposed here, people can build bases along the water and store boats at their bases just like cars. I don't think they should despawn unless they're destroyed, same as cars. Maybe suggest a monthly vehicle wipe to the server owner instead.

Despawn implemented for 1.27

Despawn implemented for 1.27

Will it be optional or will community servers be forced to use this new system? I hope we can choose which method to use.

Will this be for all vehicles?
