Im not sure why some of these things havent been fixed yet, they seem relatively easy. Ill summarize all my little pet peeves right now below:

- Cant open bags / look at skill trees while we are sitting
- cant eat food while we are sitting
- cant open bags/look at skills while we are running either
-ABOVE ALL RUNNING / FISHING IS THE PERFECT TIME TO CHECK OUR BAGS/SKILLS. please give us that option.
-Alt tab works sometimes/ sometimes it crashes :(
-(Not a big one but what the hell) The slowmotion sprinting while under heavy burden is LOL. can we change that to walking or something? again not a biggie but its an eye sore.
-



And here is a small list which im sure most people would agree is not a good gameplay mechanic:

- Complete stop when tired - I dont mind the tired mechanic but can we notch it down to walking? I can still always continue walking in real life when im dead tired.


Well I just crashed and so the server wont let me in now saying that im already logged in. I will update more when i can remember / get in game.



Final Note - Really sorry if all of these have been brought up. Just making sure you are aware. And keep up the great work devs!

This was recently changed so that you can't eat and perform other actions while sitting/sleeping.

If you open your bags before laying down or performing an action, they don't close.

You may be the only player who sits instead of naps, and walks instead of runs.

They purposefully made a change so that you cant eat or open your bags while sitting? Does that not sound silly anyone else?

I think a very important, very significant, very small change could be added to this game, in about a day:

Scroll bars.

Thanks.

May not be AS easy as you think ( I remember _Jeb from minecraft complaining about coding them) They have started on that path by making the arrow buttons very reactive and quick on the skill menu. I Just dont know why they havent added that everywhere like the incredibly slugish chat arrow buttons.

Yeah...I noticed that the crafting window bar moves quite a bit faster now, but it's inconsistent across the board. Not really complaining, just mentioning. :)

yep scroll bars and recipe sorting. . also not being stuck prone if you die. The huff and puff is bad as well. . walking might be better.

Yes because people could sleep while sorting bags. That is unrealistic.

Although, it did save a lot of time when we were able to do it. That's the only thing I miss.

He means sitting though right. . it makes sense that you could sit and get slower regen while still sorting items.. . actually more sense than while standing :)

Okay Fine Ill give into not being able to sort bags while sleeping(Though its still unnecessary - This is a game after all). But i still want to browse my skills. And Still want to be able to sort bags while sitting.

I am a BIG fan of convenience, but I would rather have the immersion of realism. To that end, not only should we not be able to view inventory/crafting windows, but the main view should go totally black. I don't usually see very well while I am sleeping.

agree with all the OP's suggestions, and the one about scroll bars.

Think if it as laying under a tree and relaxing. I think the screen going black would be cool if you were sleeping but then you couldn't play for like 6-8 hours.

That would be cool, IF someone else could wake you up early. A friend or tribemate, - or that bear gnawing at your leg.

Kind of cool idea, but it would be 1 hour of sleep since Xsyon time is 8x faster than real world time

Transfer character to test server for that hour of dreaming...

One hour would be a good amount of time, but trees had better grow a lot faster than 8x.

if scroll bars are hard then allow shift+click to scroll an entire screen.

i actually like the stop and rest when exhausted.. i agree its a game and all etc. but it's a nice strategic obstacle. really makes you think about where and when you rest.

they laying down after death thing i'm told is a recent bug inadvertently added in a patch. this info come's from other players who supposedly played before this happened. i just slide out of camp and find a bear/wolf and get killed proper which seems to solve it.

the lay/sitting limitation is strange. i wonder what the reasoning there is. your awake and able to look around so your not sleeping. you can lay down in small ditches and shallow water to essentially hide and scout so there's really not much of a "realism" argument for not being able to eat,bag,check skill. arguably you would be able to craft small simple items while laying down. i bet thats just a step in a bigger plan there.

sorting recipies would be really handy.

also i noticed myself and a bunch of my tribe has problems where occasionally you have to click on an item multiple times to pick it up or bring up the context menu. i assume thats related to what people call "sync issues" and is something that will be addressed at some point.

Being able to climb up a 1" terraformed pit of water, would be nice.
