Persistent Container AKA Tents? coming next update

[punkvegita 44]

From a twitch questionnaire  Dean specifically mentions that persistent containers are coming next update and will be in the experimental any day. My question to you guys is what do you guys think these will be? I personally think they'll start small. Maybe the yellow containers can be put somewhere for safe keeping? Hopefully they'll keep it original.

you have a link for that?

Dean said they will be starting with persistent backpacks from what I remember, but they will also lower the spawn rate of backpacks so there isn't thousands of them lying around because they are persistent.

There is a link in this thread posted earlier today.

This might have made my day :)

 

I have no more space for my character to carry anything.

Noooooooooo.....

No Persistent storage please.  Death should have some consequences.

Persistent backpacks? wtf!

 

Why not just give us tents...

I agree with this over backpacks....backpacks have to be common enough for freshspawns to get one, so if everyone is just making mountains of the things in the woods for storage there wont be any lol. A nice new camping tent model that works, and a very rare drop rate would be much better way to go IMO :)

maybe persistant backpack will be 1 per player. Like you can save only 1 backpack on ground somewhere.

[CrazyCorky 40]

Are they going to be like the tents in the mod where other people can find and raid them or take them?

Yes, unless there will be a way to glitch hide your backpack into rock, tree trunk, bush or under floor of some building.

Rather just have rare as fuck tents.  One would be sufficient.  I'm not a greedy man.

Backpacks may be how they're testing tents, that would be a logical progression. 

[exogravis 13]

good.  place to store things ... 

now if only loot respawn ?!

Surely the only real difference would be the art?

Not sure how i feel about this. Its going to be very good but theres really only one backpack that ppl are going to want if they dont want there stuff found and thats the hunter ones lol. Or at best the blue mountain or green ones.

Nah, if you are that close to see red mountain backpack then you will spot hunting backpack too. It's all about place where you hide it.

[soulfirez 901]

where did the idea of persistant back packs come from ???? that 1hour 20 min video of him typing on the stream  he never mentioned back packs he just said persistant containers can we get a link jevez.. I dont mean to cry bullshit but um no link then id be tempted to

[Deathlove 2286]

Yeah but ppl are not going to search every single blade of grass though lol. And considering how big the map will be bright stuff tends to stand out just a tad better. But than if ppl can find your packs you probably didnt do a very good job of hiding them in the first place lol. People in common sense shouldn't hide packs so close to heavy loot zones but idk probably going to see allot of idiots try it.

[stc105 14]

Yeah, it would be cool to find hiding places, like haystacks.

 

I wonder if the backpacks will disappear if we die?

 

I also wonder if the backpacks will be server dependent or will it be in the hive?

[soulfirez 901]

LOL still waiting on confirmation the persistant container is a back pack cause the big reveal of this info only says container.... Not back pack...

[Deathlove 2286]
