Suggestions for Map Blind Upgrading

[buoyant skiff]

Hello COTW Community!
I have been wanting ways to improve blinds for not only performance but also player capacity.
What I propose is the ability to upgrade blinds you purchase on the maps. After you make the standard purchase it can highlight again to purchase the next level of upgrade.
Upgrades could include baiting,aiming stability,sound suppression,visual camo for stealth,cots for resting and more player capacity.
Player capacity has been a big want for me and my friends for awhile. I know other games have this feature but those other games are not COTW 😉
It would also be kinda cool to allow players to custom paint them like we can tents and weapons.

I quite like this but how many countries actually use baiting methods also could it be that you can upgrade a blind but if you don't like it then you can revert it back to the previous stage?

Some states in the US allow it and not all countries do for sure but it is a video game. This in my opinion is not really any different than night hunting or not getting fined for firing near buildings. I never understood why baiting is frowned upon when hunting water zones is not any different. I get the sporting chance incentive but I also get the survivalist part too. I do feel that if it makes the difference between starving than it should be ok...especially if the bait is ethical from the land you are hunting. If the bait is store bought than yeah its not as ethical.
And if baiting does pose any problems they could just allow caller effectiveness to reach farther or increase scent ranges....or both.
I do like the idea to be able to undo the changes but if that was not possible than a warning notice that it is permanent would be good.

Eh you know customizability would be good you can bait but not if you don't want to

They could even make it to wear you have to pay to fill the feeder or food plot. That way if you don't pay than it will just be normal.

Hmm something like 500 credits or something for each refill

Customizability is good all around but it can be hard to implement

[buoyant skiff]

Yeah a feature like that would probably need to be its own thing. Otherwise it would be a complex project.

Something I'd also want to see would be you know how you have set hunting stands on maps yeah it would be cool if you could have a set number of those hunting stands but can place them wherever you want but they're permanently there

[buoyant skiff]

That would be cool but I think that might fall into more like a survival crafter type feature. I do sometimes wonder about the placements of the map stands and blinds...some of them are not placed very well. Almost like the developer of the map has no proper knowledge of placing them.

[hearty scroll]

Yeah that's why I suggested it some of them are just unusable

[buoyant skiff]

Maybe there could be an ability to pick up the stand equipment before you build it within a radius of the area. KInda like the amount of space NMS uses for base computers. Like the one in Layton for example that is way far out from the tree line...if you could be able to move it back a bit that would help.

Only downside to that idea though is it would probably reset everyones map stands and map blinds

Yeah mmm oh well all we can do is just hope and dream
