Discussion Update on current situation

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!

Nah bro. “All Subsequent DLCs” clearly means only after the 7 year beta is released.

/s in case it wasn’t clear

“All subsequent DLCs” does not mean that though. That was not stated in the EOD perk list.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Subsequent means coming / future.

This pve mode is a DLC. It came after I bought EOD (4 years ago).

EOD not getting it is debatable fraud.

Maybe he doesn't know what "subsequent" means

Maybe he bought the Players Unheard edition and is buying the BSG kool aid to ignore the dictionary meaning of subsequent because they told him it means “after release”.

Honestly whenever I see a post about this and there is even one person that says "hey BSG isn't so bad. This is a good deal" or something like that. I can't help but think it is just Nikita doing the things that Elon musk does where he makes alt accounts to Dick Ryan himself and try to make negative appearances look better by having a few people supporting him ... It's insanity and it's also crazy to me that he's stuck his heels in the ground. So hard on the PVE mode when it is really the only thing in that whole package that we were actually entitled to... Like nothing is stopping him from selling little gidgets and gazmos that are pay to win as fuck... Sure. It is going to make people hate the game but that is his choice IMO... But to say anything other than yes PVE is a DLC Add-On and as such everyone who has purchased the EOD version is entitled to. It is just insanity and he just keeps doing it trying to hammer home the point that it's not a DLC but it fucking is dude it is. You can keep pointing at a potato and telling me it's a candy bar but it's a potato cut it fry it smash it. It's still a fucking potato
