The flashlights are actually an example of this concept finished. They have different cone sizes and illumination ranges depending on flash light, we just can’t swap between the official ones the weapons use. This is why I think they might be toying with number buffs for the rest if they’re going to use this function at all. There could be some replay value in tuning weapon performance, a lot more than just screwing around with visuals and putting scopes/dots on weapons with bad sights.

well i DID mention more than just scopes, sights, and red dots.

I mean CoD didn’t create weapon customization. It was used in plenty of games before. There is no good reason for Fatshark not adding this feature in the game. Trinkets are ok but not enough. Let players personalize a weapon to fit their playstyle.

which reminds me, CoD had charms/Trinkets and they were still added to darktide, same with skins, there is literally no reason for FS to NOT add this.

oh, don’t worry, we’ve noticed.
See: everything about itemization. It’s taken them two years to even begin to shed the RNG and they’re still adamantly maintaining that it needs to be present for base weapons, and refusing to explain why (because there is no good explanation).

so what do we do? we tell them to drop it and fix the problem by removing the RNG of it.
We’ve been telling them that since launch. Since the closed beta for some of us.
The fact they haven’t responded by removing all RNG shortly after launch is telling.
Look at HD2. When they started nerfing things and being a PITA about certain enemy types, the community went ‘this isn’t fun’ and abandoned them, and within a couple months, what happened? They put out a massive balance patch that addressed most concerns and got players back.
Fatshark, by contrast, built a system people hated and has stubbornly maintained it in the face of a similarly precipitous player drop for no reason, for two years straight. Even the itemization update is still a ‘let’s make the player grind’ scenario with many people not confident they’ll have something worth working for when it drops, especially because Fatshark is being very cagey about how well the transition will reward long-time players.

we we’ve been doing isn’t telling them, its just kindly letting them know, we need to TELL THEM in a way that really matters to them, which is money, clearly. if they don’t fix this, we just stop spending money and stop playing, easy as that. but it’ll have to be more than just us, we’ll need at least 40% to stop playing as well, which is hard to do, so our best bet is getting a CM to get something done so that the game doesn’t die from RNG poisoning.
Well yes they need those items to have the abilities to function in gameplay. I almost forgot about the stocks thing, as some look good on some, and others look absolutely horrendous and non-lore.
I think at the least we all ask for a scope or a sight option, anything else feels like “fluff” or takes away from “lore-accurate” much like when I see a braced autogun butt stock and barrel attached to a bolt weapon

yeah, we should at least be able to put a sight on the gun we’re using. i mean, i understand that some guns not having that makes perfect sense, such as the revolvers and the braced weapons, but all the other guns should have at least some choice between sights.

Best thing to do is tag @FatsharkStrawHat for them to see the ideas we want to see such as Gun/Pistol Sight/Scope attachment options and so forth
