Weirdly I kinda like the new bags. I did love the fact we had a big-ol-bag we could save items in, mainly cause I would get stuck in a monument or something and if I died to an npc, I knew I could save a certain item. But sometimes having the whole big backpack felt too easy? I was a bit cranky at first cause I thought how are we gonna do this >< But over the day today its been ok. We can res right away and pick it back up. Even when a friend resses you, you can still pick it up and keep going. And I think we can carry more bags in our clothing slots, so tech if we wanted to transport a lot of stuff, or take friends loot back with us to base with teleport, we can, just a lil more nakie hehe
Wipe day, we could just plop in, run and run and run collecting stuff and have a lot of stuff with us by the time we got to base making time when we had found the perfect spot of land to call our own for a month. This time I spawned in with only 24 slots, and had to manage that while finding a base and shooting zombies in the head. Do I keep these seeds? Do I really want the table or learn it later? Felt a bit like mr burns on simpsons, ketchup or ketsup? xD
I heard a heli and rushed back into the supermarket to save my hide, rather than just shove all my gear in the backpack and stand around waiting for it to go past. It was that moment I remembered my first time in Rust (and it was Rustez too back then), Van and I had started playing (my first survival game, but he'd played Rust since alpha). We had to do the same thing, make choices on stuff, make sure we didn't die, look out for each other.
By the time I had made it to my newfoundland for my base, I actually had more mats/ore/items that I actually needed rather than holding onto everything. Yes I love running K-MART shop and trying to help out those trying to find items asap, but it doesn't help if I don't even have the mats to build/craft with cause I'm keeping all the items for later.
I agree with Lord McGuffin, the b bind to make the inventory open with our backpacks open would be great!
I personally didn't do F1 kill to return back anywhere, always just tele'd so I can't talk about that part.
I also kinda hope we get skins for the backpacks, so many awesome designs could be done! Tech everyone will be wearing them a lot in all types of rust servers, and the community makes some really cool stuff Imagine cute backpacks, christmas ones, cool ripped ones, glowing ones, twitch drop style, gamer backpacks xD RGB backpacks!
Oh and also as that it was a part of VIP perks back then (I joined back in late dec 2020 I think), not sure if maybe something else can take its place? Maybe a special VIP bag we get when spawning in or a large one right away? It could still be crafted by someone later, but having it right away might be something handy? (If I'm wrong, just say, haven't looked at the perks page for a long time)
EDIT: Yeah I can see what ShadowX116 means, I do miss having a safe bag if that makes sense? Even just for a few slots (gun, ammo, fuel etc). What if we die in a weird place and can't get anything back? Heli flyers can have all sorts of accidents over buildings, bases and mountains, water too. If we don't have that safe spot for a few items, we could lose a lot more than just the loot we've been running with. Kinda like having my scrap safe on me, maybe a safe deposit box or a keyring on us would be good?
EDIT 2: Oh and could we please (if possible) have the the sort/autocollect/loot-all buttons on normal inventory page? Rather than just if we open a container? Thankyou
One of the things I love about the server is that there is no purge/pvp on the last day! I wouldn't build the way I do (a nice home style place with stables, garage, garden etc like a real life one) if I knew someone was going to blow it up on the last few days That would be heartbreaking! Sounds silly probably, but I like the fact its stress free and I can build and not worry about it being defensive against a war I still lock everything I need to, but I love building that way and would hate for it to change I know it all goes away at the wipe, but I film our house, remember memories, see what I'll do differently next time It's nicer to know it just vanishes into the void, rather than getting blown up :S I do however like the pvp idea said above That'd be fun! You could prepare and get in there and know what you're going into type thing Maybe those zone/dark dome things that I've seen on other servers (before I found scourge), that have an npc base that spawn randomly inside a dark dome that you can raid? That'd be fun too! Get to learn how to raid a base without someone smooshing you before you even arrive to learn xD Specially if you're new and haven't done it before! Still pve that way I think, as its players against the environment It wouldn't be pvp exactly either (I don't know how those mods work tho, forgive me if I'm wrong with the details of it)
