I don't really mind the new Backpack, as I'm sure a lot of folks have wanted a base game one for ages.
The thing that's making me a tad grumpy is that we're losing our little "ender chest", "aether", "cloud", "quantum" storage that was 100% safe from deaths. I rely on that a lot, particularly when running halfway across the map trying to find a single square foot of space to put a shack. Especially since you can't quite outrun zombies once they see you.
If I remember right, VIP would give us a bigger /backpack in addition to the other perks, and we're just losing that safe storage apparently.
Like are we just gonna lose the daily supply drop as well if Rust implements an NPC shop for it?
