Title: Bring back flares!!
Post by: Shonsu on February 02, 2012, 02:42:27 pm: Make flares permanent again please. Campfires last forever so why not flares? IIRC a dev said that items left on the ground don't affect performance and it's not like having a flare on the ground is abusable, it just gives us a way to personalize our tents/bases that adds a bit of extra fun.

Please?

Though there was an instance pre-wipe with a super flare that DID affect performance for everyone, lowering their FPS.

If you mean during pre-wipe madness I think that was a special flare.

Well I'm only talking about regular ordinary green & orange flares. They used to be a cool little item that people could use to personalize their tent/base but now they disappear after 2-3 rl hours so they're basically worthless

Post by: Wallace on February 04, 2012, 02:24:39 pm: Well idea of flares burning eternally might not seem realistic but i do agree it's the only way for those to be usable...

Post by: GroeneAppel on February 04, 2012, 02:35:24 pm: Might not be realistic but atleast it's fun. I agree that they should be added back. Meanwhile you can use rum which glows in the dark aswell.
