Can you still do it?

I really wish they would bring back the back packs. The pastries are confusing if you ask me.

yeah, the donuts may be irritating to new players ;-)

but it is an old planetside tradition that backpacks are changed to something funny on holidays, and after all it´s planetsides 10th birthday.
but i would have prefered giftboxes. they are a little more plausible than donuts.

I'm in the same boat. Keybinds haven't changed in five years or so.

normally those are backpacks. when a player respawns, his corpse would be exchanged for a backpack. this was done to help medics distinguish if they can revive or not. if it´s a corpse it can be revived, if it´s just a backpack, it´s too late.

and on spedial holidays, soe changed the backpacks to funny stuff. pumpkins on halloween, giftboxes on christmas, donuts sometimes and maybe other things i can´t remember.

some christmas they even put santa hats on every soldier for a short time.

i always thought it was a funny little thing and it never lasted very long. they would just use one of the next sheduled servermaintenances to revert back to normal.

I forgot my bail key and burned to death in a gal wreck during a drop. :[

Also i never realized there were training missions lol. I guess combined with the "use everything in the vr" they give new players a neat boost.

For the most part. I'm still in the process of getting used to the Lasher again.
