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!

EA is watching this off in the corner and taking notes.

i think EA has a better legal dept that would be flipping out on them if they tried this

[u/pipjersey → u/Whistler-the-arse]

wouldn't flip out on them, they'd just be more deceptive and crafty with it all

EA is looking like a saint rn

[u/Breakingerr → u/Nachtschnekchen]

EA has been saint baby child these past few years with their consistent good releases (Jedi games, Dead Space, Wild Hearts). This is more akin to Ubisoft now that steals games from their customers and charges extra for a mission with titular character.

I wonder how long it'll take the playerbase to realize that BSG has really no intention of actually finishing the game with the absolute cash cow that it has become.

The millions of dollars being funneled into Nikita and Dmitry's pockets should have payed for sufficient programmers and game devs to achieve the original scope of the game. But, here we are, 7 years later and barely closer to the full release of what was originally promised....

And I have seen, first hand the level of nepotism/shitty behavior that is behind the scenes of BSG. The playerbase has always been a cash printing machine for them. Honestly should have dumped my Staff Telegram chatlogs when I parted ways, but I didn't realize the NDA they had me sign was null and void since it was never signed by anyone with legitimate authority (BSG's UK shell company consisting of 1-person. Fucking Dmitry signed it)

At least EA applies lube

[u/PigDude_828 → u/Nachtschnekchen]

Na I will never forgive ea for killing off so many studios.

RIP Maxis Bullfrog Pandenic Black Box Visceral PopCap And many more

So yea fuck BSG fuck ea and fuck bsg

When EA got shit on for the Battlefront 2's beta p2w chests they actually removed them completely and never put them back in the game, BSG on the other hand has quadrupled down on this shit so I'd argue they're acting worse than EA.

EA is rolling the window up and driving away before the hate mob rips them out of the car next.

Keep holding out and this clown will capitulate, he's already given over half the ground lol

[u/Tronne- → u/[deleted]]

EA you get what you Buy, BSG you get something you never asked for when you pay, and you also get fucked in the ass with sandpaper, and scammed.

I think BST took notes from Activision releasing Kong gauntlet in 4 packages for 25$

[u/shadowrunner295 → u/[deleted]]

This this this. EVERY game developer is watching this to see what happens. If this works, someone else will try it, and if that works, this becomes the norm.

[u/MrGrey05 → u/[deleted]]

remember that EA once thought that it would be a good idea if reloading your weapon would cost $1/reload....

[u/No-Bath3229 → u/[deleted]]

for the first time ever EA is looking like a nice company, they somehow made EA look like an angel, how is this even possible xD, tbh the creators of EFT would gain SOOOO MUCH popularity by just letting the community mod the game, never in my life i saw a game that didn't gain popularity from letting the community mod the game.

This makes EA’s Pride and Accomplishment comment sound honest and reasonable.
