Cant really hoard gear, the backpacks and clothing have a limited amount of space, once it's filled then your done until you either consume or use the items...

Not too many "real world" places that have 12/12 day/night cycle, maybe if you live at the north/south pole? Or maybe the world shifted it's axis during the apocalypse and now every day is an equinox...

Flashlights make great target indicators IMO

I'd like to know where the time is based from, If I log into a server hosted in St. Louis MO USA @ 1:00 am it is just getting light outside, I dont mind the 12/12 day night cycle but cant we get it regionally based by the hosting servers time zone? I hate having to log into a server in Chille to get daytime during my playable hours and suffer horrific ping times. Just joined a New York hosted server and it's daytime while Chicago/St Louis is pitch black darkness.

People that use terms like noob, scrub, herp derp, YoloSwag etc are noobs
