Trail camera (normal and NV)

Not sure which people that live off the grid use drones…

[turbid gyro]

I meant by you can look/use trail cams from across the map, drones can go far too.

Long distance hunting pack

[rich quiver]

Not to mention, drones are illegal in most states to use for hunting

[turbid gyro]

People still use them, plus I use them sometimes in European hunting trips.

[regal pike]

Ah yes: long distance hunting. Feeders and decoys truly the epitome of long distance hunting

[turbid gyro]

Okay smartass.

[rich quiver]

Don't be a meany liam

[regal pike]

Awww thank you, too kind

[regal pike]

It would help if the idea was the slightest bit researched

[turbid gyro]

What would you like it to be called then hmm? I’m not the best person to make titles for suggestions because my first language isn’t English.

If we refer to #1325097686944448542, we can see that they're not the best idea as they can majorly interfere with the status quo and bring along multiple game breaking bugs. I like the idea of it, but baiting is also illegal in multiple US states, so I don't see EW adding it. And trailcams are a good idea that's been suggested multiple times, but they wouldn't be as useful as people think because you can just spot whatever animals you need to, as well as find their zones without the help of one

Not personally a huge fan of drones, they’re also possibly a new griefing tool for people who play multiplayer as I assume they would spook animals at close range.

Feeders were in classic so that would prolly make a lot of people happy although idk if it would work like placing a need zone or placing a caller/lure.

As for trail cams, as cool as it would be to see them in game I just don’t think the engine can handle them at least not more than one.

[turbid gyro]

Now that is actually reasonable! I can agree with you on that.

[regal pike]

Feeder’s ain’t much different than feedzones and trail cams are useless

[rich quiver]

Feeders could help bring feed zones into more accessible areas, so I do really like the idea

[halcyon badge]

Trail cam seems like a nice addition for photo crew to enjoy.

Drones have already caused a bit of controversy in their own thread with the legal/illegal debate and what level of real world simulation CotW should/does adhere to.

Food...hmmm. How would it be different to a scent lure? Perhaps repeated use could create artificial feed zones to appear for a few days or something? (no idea how hard that would be to implement tbh)

[rich quiver]

You'd also have to refill your feeders every so often so that they still work

[turbid gyro]

sounds right, my first thought of the feeders would be that they have a percentage of lure, the more animals that eat the feeder’s food lessens it, before the feeder needs refilled or maybe replaced.

[regal pike]

There’s also the fact animals completely render out when outside of like 400yds… and all animals are extremely predictable so what’s the point?

[rich quiver]

Creating a new load out so you can carry your guns and feed bags would be a good tradeoff

[halcyon badge]

saleable DLC? 🤣

[rich quiver]

Sometimes animals are too far Into the brush and you just can't shoot them, so I think it's a decent idea

[regal pike]

That’s not an answer.

[regal pike]

That was in reference to trail cams. Not feeders

Not so much a trade off as there’s no fast travel cooldown in this game, and I assume the feeder would have a certain amount of time it’s effective, might end up being a more annoying micromanagement thing kinda like the dog bond now, unless you’re saying the feeders would only work with the bait in your inventory?

[halcyon badge]

I bet it is to EW

[rich quiver]

I thunk trailcams would be a good idea if they come with different scenes that play out with the animals in the area, like 2 bucks fighting or something like that

[turbid gyro]

That could be cool, I would enjoy new animations too, I think they’re quite simple.

[regal pike]

So not actually your animals? That’s even worse.

[rich quiver]

"Animals in that area"

[regal pike]

yay! Gimmick items…

[rich quiver]

Liam... it'd be a fun addition to the game that would add a hint of realism to the animals

[turbid gyro]

Holyyy you really have to make everything worse.

You could’ve just simply and respectfully told me improvements instead of goddamn making everything that actually does get used in real hunting sound fake and unrealistic.

[regal pike]

And I politely disagree that it would be a fun addition.

[lost glen]

I'm all for everything here but Drones.

[turbid gyro]

I removed drones from the list, figured it is a bad addition.

[lost glen]

its not a bad thought but the cons out weigh the pros where I can see it being abused heavily let alone design & function issues in the games current state. "I presumed drones were included due to the photos, my bad"

[turbid gyro]

I wish you could remove photos from posts 🫤

But I think you have a reasonable opinion
