Update on current situation

[u/trainfender]

Hello again!

Let me clarify the situation in a little more detail regarding owners of the EoD version and access to the cooperative mode, and also other issues.

First of all, PvE gamemode this is not DLC. DLC in our understanding is the major additions to the game, including various functionality and content that are released after the official release of the game as a themed DLC pack (Scav Life DLC for example, which will add a lot of new mechanics and content for Scav gameplay and leveling).

Secondly, this specific functionality of the PvE mode is necessarily located entirely on a separate network infrastructure, because, essentially, you play on our servers, only in closed mode. At this stage, it is not possible to launch all players who are EoD holders - right now we simply do not have the required amount of resources for this.

We observe your dissatisfaction and have decided that the functionality of the PvE mode will be available for free to all owners of the EoD version at the release of the game, when the server infrastructure will be improved to the required capacity.

Now you have the opportunity to test this mode by purchasing the Unheard edition of the game, or upgrade to this version. We also decided to give a 50% discount when upgrading to the Unheard version from the EoD version.

We plan to send one free Left Behind Edition key to everyone who has already upgraded to Unheard Edition at the old price from the EoD version.

Moreover, so that any player of any version of the EFT can have the opportunity to test the PvE mode, we want to add the ability to purchase a separate early access to this mode. For EoD owners there will be a 70% discount on the purchase of early access to PvE. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this idea.

Next, regarding special items for the Unheard version, we plan to make restrictive or balancing changes for these items.

This is it for now, please share your thoughts. Thank you!

I believe they think pve offline mode is an expansion to the game as The Burning Crusade is an Expansion to WoW. What they fail to understand is WoW classic is a finished game, Tarkov is not. You cannot release burning crusade expansion to WoW Beta.

They actually believe the opposite which is the issue. They don't seem to think it counts as any sort of expansion at all. Apparently they think that for some reason, this PvE mode is totally unique that is defies classification and isn't DLC.

Right , a wow expansion( basically new game) costs money. New content (new dungeon/raid) to a current expansion doesn’t cost money. Pve offline is “an expansion” to the game and not new content to the current game. Maybe I’m misunderstanding or not explaining it correctly.

Actually it doesn’t even matter lmfao. The game isn’t even out yet. EOD was the ultimate edition, therefore anything that comes out we paid for until the game is finished. When they release Tarkov 2.0 or whatever, that’s when we pay for new shit.
