klesh 2423 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I guess I'll post this in the Suggestions forum, since it technically is a suggestion. Can someone please post a link to this thread at https://twitter.com/ctorchia as I don't have a Twitter account and am certainly not opening one anytime soon. Thanks. A friend showed me this twitter update from Chris Torchia that shows off the new "Waterproof Bag" which will be a backpack: I know this product as being reffered to as a "dry bag", I use one for kayaking and canoeing. The problem with the above picture is that it represents the bag in its non-waterproof mode. Essentially, this is what it looks like when it is open, and ready for you to put your hand in. It is not waterproof in this configuration. This is what one of these things looks like when it is closed and waterproof: You close the top, and roll it 2-3 times over with the bag's waterproof fabric. You then curl the top so it can buckle closed and it is now waterproof. If we're going to be running around with these on and 1) not want things falling out, and 2) want it to actually be waterproof, it should have the top be like the 2nd picture. Can someone send this to Chris Torchia, please. :thumbsup: :beans: Thanks! Edited September 19, 2014 by klesh 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d.walker43 196 Posted September 19, 2014 I kayak as well and I agree that you are right, however no matter what we say it wont be changed. why? because they would have to make new art, new files, new everything. and the time and effort put into this version would be wasted, so they wont go through that much work to change this. This is a game after all, so not everything will be perfect. Hope you understand my point, thanks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted September 19, 2014 You close the top, and roll it 2-3 times over with the bag's waterproof fabric. You then curl the top so it can buckle closed and it is now waterproof. We use these as well and you're correct. Even though I can't imagine them not knowing that, I shall try to contact Chris. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted September 19, 2014 And here i was just thinking a plastic shopping bag would be sufficient to waterproof something. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klesh 2423 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I can't imagine them not knowing that, I shall try to contact Chris. I can't imagine they wouldn't know it either, but I'm at a loss as to why they would've done it like this were it not a mistake. Mistakes happen of course. It'll be fine for a placeholder until they're done adding all the other stuff, but Billy the Backpack Maker needs to take it back to 3DSMax or whatever and redo it properly (on his own time were I his boss!) ;) Thanks for passing it along to Chris. Feel free to reserve the results to a personal mustachioed conversation. Edited September 19, 2014 by klesh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
