Why new ones???
just show the bags and pouch that the ppl allready buy!!!

show the gear! and dont add gear to buy + visible gear to buy with no game mechaaniks!!

i allready buybags for 2500emS and they dont shown at the avatar - now i have to buy bags without any mechanik just to show them on avatarr????

make the allready existing equipment visible!!!!

What does that have to do with it

I don't understand the negatives to this addition to the game. It has nothing to do with anything previous. It has no impact on inventory or the original inventory increase invisible backpack. This is 100% cosmetic.

I'm diggin' the hunter orange outfit I have going on:

Maybe you should read your own post. "just show the bags and pouch that the ppl allready buy!!!" "make the allready existing equipment visible!!!!"

If you have already bought the old "backpack" (which in fact is just an increased carrying capacity), you got your basic backpack for free = we made the equipment you boguth visible, which is exactly what you are asking about in the OP. Otherwise new hunting backpacks don't change absolutely anything for you, they are just clothing items for people who like some additional immersion. The confusion comes from the fact that our old item was called a "backpack", but in fact it was (is) just a function to increase inventory / carrying capacity. With the addition of "real" backpacks and changing the description of the old item we brought in some consistency, but if you are used to backpack = carrying capacity, I understand that it all can be confusing.

thank you for the update Alena but would it not make more sence to add the extra capacity to the new backpacks and simply make an special edition one for the guys that already owned the old backpack and remove the capacity upgrade from the store completly that way you have a funtual backpack in game and it would then make more sence

Yes, I see where you are coming from and in fact this was one of the options we were considering initially. However, we chose to keep the capacity upgrade as it is and make backacks completely optional, as we thought that some players might not want to have a backpack on all the time, while still retaining their carrying capacity. Right now a backpack is a pretty much vanity item, some like them, some don't, and you can choose to buy and wear one without any implications. But if you don't like them and all of a sudden are forced to have one on to have the function you used to have before without the actual item on your back, I bet we would hear a lot of complaints from that group. We simply went for the least intrusive way to implement backpacks, in order to disrupt the way players are used to play the game as little as possible, although I agree that we did sacrifice some meaningfulness that could have been added to this item.

How this was implemented was well done. I think there would have been a large amount of complaints if people were forced to show the backpack on their avatar.

The latest patch is exactly the direction I was hoping thehunter classic would go with the quality of life improvements. Excellent bug fixes, and a nice cosmetic option addition. Well done. The inventory load speed improvement was really needed. I hope bug fixes will remain a high priority development item.

aaaaaahhhhh - now i see. i am very sorry of this missunderstanding!!!!
keep it going

[philaitch]

I think the way the backpack was introduced was well thought out, I guess I must be part of 'that group'.

My only confusion is how a backpack could add to the game's camouflage effect, if it is covering a camouflage jacket of the same pattern material. The possibility that the backpack could help in some way to break up the outline, would only come into play if you approached your target sideways, in a crablike shuffle, throughout the hunt.

If the addition of a camouflage effect is not to do with realism, but as a reason to buy it, fair enough.
