Yeah... but "backpacks slowed the servers down blah, blah, blah..." :rolleyes:

Instead now we have a system where you can't tell if the user logs out or taps out and a GR interface that hasn't been updated. Great. I went from nostaligic to nauseated. Thanks :p

Auto charging the fee for the backpack is annoying for noob characters also.

Personally I'm just biased to the "proof of death" gimmick. You could always leave your presence, almost as large as your body when you died for days on end, instead of the insignificant dogtag. Backpack was innovative. I liked it, though the whole "retrieve" thing from the GR and random placement of inventory was a pain.

Still... you'll never see a shot like that again... and the game is that much poorer for it.

(Greatest feature is orginization of grs, vs's rerolling your caped char to have grs in right order) :cool:

Oh god yes, anyone with a PPU can relate to that. Definitely something I don't miss.

Now all they need to do is update wrecked items in your inventory and stop the hidden inventory item swap when you die.

Not to mention the items-on-death-changing-bug that is still around and fucking annoying. Or the implant-being-broken-after-relogging-bug. Bah.

well that explains some things...

i wondered why i was getting autocharged for genrepping when i died, why all my inventory always seemed to be there, and why there's no backpacks anywhere

i thought it was LE related, but I transferred one of my old characters over and it did it for him too (this was from back in the day when no one other than the most extreme carebear wore an LE due to the exp hit)

speaking of character transfers, i had to delete my tank, sort of annoyed me. i transferred him over, and somehow he got turned into a monk. I had 2 million STR experience but it was capped at lvl 20, and somehow I had 50+ free points in PSI to spend.

none of my implants worked, none of my armor was equippable, none of my weaponry was usable. oh, and the ingame "help" apparently has no actual operators.

oh well. got some duranit armor for my PE anyway.

screwups like that make me wonder if the Ray of God my spy came over with is actually what he last logged out with. I coulda sworn it was a Redeemer...

It wasn't just the prettily arranged backpack models, there were the contents too that the server had to keep track of. Virtually every zone had backpacks here there and everywhere.

I also loved how backpacks were a good indicator of how safe a GR was.... back in the day OZ station used to be littered with them, which said to noobs "Use if you want to die" :lol:

Over the last days, pepper park is seeing more and more pvp again.

Especially last night had some amazing battles that went from the outzone right through to pepper park 1.
And that definatly wasn't the last time. :)

/edit
I just wish KK would reduce the amount of guards in pp1/2, the amount is ridiculous.
It's an amazing place to fight with all the corners, sewers, basements and jones mission caves. :)

To bad it's restricted to spies and PEs as you got zero chance if you can't stealthwhore. :(
