i second this..... if not binocs, maybe we can use scopes by themselves? ive gotten sniper scopes on like day 5, but not the actual rifle until like day 50 lol. with the addition of gun mods, im pretty sure scopes are gonna be more common.
also, what about implementing a need for sleeping? in a game about realism, this seems to be highly overlooked. after 48 hours of going without sleep, stamina drain increases dramatically, as does thirst and hunger..... maybe lower accuracy with ranged weapons, vision impairment, slowed reaction time, temporary reduction in health/stam caps? just a few ideas. cant sleep anywhere that doesnt have a bed/bedroll, needs to be within land claim radius, unable to sleep on horde nights, remaining vulnerable to detection if ur not well hidden (so leaving the forge on would still attract zombies to u). im NOT suggesting a time lapse event.... not cutaways to day time with a "6 hours later" disclaimer to tell us time has progressed (like dying light does). sleeping an in-game hour would replenish a decent amount of a "sleep deprivation meter" or something.
im not saying this would be the best direction to take on the subject, just throwing ideas out there. it always kinda bugged me how u can survive 1000 days without ever getting any sleep lol

I remember in older alphas the player was allowed to use scopes even if they weren't attached to any sniper rifles. Never realised that got removed...

nope.... didnt play this until it came out for console. bought it for ps4 and fell in love with the game. it was just too buggy for console so i returned it, bought a steam card, and got 2 copies- 1 for myself, 1 for my brother lol
now i feel stupid.... scopes arent even in the game..... coulda sworn they were..... sniper parts, receiver, barrel--- no scope listed. just checked.

He was supposed to do some sort of new charge attack against bases when he was added back... but yeah...Why was the Hawaiian guy taken out, and then put back in, in A16???

Because the original one was an asset they bought from the unity store, while the one we have now is the same one completely redone by TFP themselfes and with a higher quality.Why was the Hawaiian guy taken out, and then put back in, in A16???

Sorry that I have to torpedize your idea, but this game has multiplayer. If you need to sleep and someone else does not, you would have to stare at the screen for 20 minutes realtime while your toon is sleeping.

How about fixed 5 Minutes you need to sleep ?
The right time to get a coffee or go pee in RL.
There is no need that the ingametime is = Sleeptime
Maybe with a option to enter the skillpage during that 5 minutes if the player dont like 5 minutes outtime all 1-2 real hours

i get that, but at 60-min in-game days, an hr takes what, 2.5 mins? maybe making the skill tree only available during sleep would make it more reasonable? seems like the perfect bathroom/smoke break excuse lol. again, not saying that its the right way to go, just putting the idea out there.
didnt see deluxe's post..... beat me to it

Exact this is the funny part, to sleep IS dangerous, still we human need it.
Btw other players dont know when you will sleep.
Maybe with a wake up function if a alarm sirene is triggered. What would give the alarm a real benefit.
(If you away to grab a coffee maybe you need to adjust the sound volume ^^)
How about people who want a sleep option just assume that they are sleeping when they go for the coffee or pee break. It is practically the same, your toon is doing nothing, sees and hears nothing and is dead if someone surprises him at that time. :02.47-tranquillity:
Now to make it a regular necessity you (the player) just have to drink a lot.

asking what sleep would add to the game is like asking what hunger or thirst added to the game-- its another way to add difficulty, increased realism, and another variable to take into account when exploring/raiding/building.
as for hitting esc, that doesnt work in MP games. im not suggesting to make it so u stop playing outright when sleeping- hence the reason i mentioned making the skill tree only accessible during sleep. i wouldnt lock out the map either, but ur char shouldnt be able to craft in his sleep (workstations not included since they work without u being present anyways).
again, just throwin ideas out there. glad to have all this feedback guys. constructive criticism does nothing but help improve the game for us all!

Escape doesn't work in single player now either, does it?
you can pause with esc like you had always do
were you get the idea that the game is about realism?
you can carry 10k tons of concrete in your backpack, and you can stay awake 1000 days
some mods had implemented sleep mechanics, but i found it annoiyng
