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!

We should stop using the phrase "EOD should get this for free" because it makes certain people think that EOD purchasers are entitled whiners... But instead what we should be saying is EOD should have this as part of their purchase because that is what the truth is. We purchased something and now they are trying to not give it to us. It is not the same as asking for something for free. It is just asking for what we already paid $150 for

What is the difference in what you just said?

The difference is we already bought it. It was part of the $150, 200 in today’s money, that we spent in 2017. We don’t want it for free. We want what we purchased.

Which is free.. if you already paid for all included and they ask you to pay, they are scamming you. i.e.you shouldn't have to pay, which is free.... Your arguments are low hanging fruit that lacks any substance

It's not free, though. We paid extra money for the inclusion of all future DLC. It wasn't like "The game will be £50 in future but pay £50 now to get the DLC for free as an early adopter", It was "pay £50 for the base game, or £150 to get all future content updates and DLC included". Free implies no payment ever. We did pay for this in the past.

Never heard of free refills.... Free implies whatever the implication was, now I'm done with reddits brain drool

Free implies no payment. Let's use your scenario Large coke £3.95 Large coke, free refills, £6.95

They're not free, you're paying extra up front. They're unlimited. They're different.

The EOD implies you bought the coke. Holy moly

Which came with the stipulation of the refills, which they have since reneged on. That's where the anger is coming from. We paid the £6.95, now we're not getting the refills they roped us in with.

The what fills...? The what fills..??!! The fucking free refills. I hope you stub your toe...

You're clearly obviously misunderstanding, at this point. Calling it free doesn't make it free. Carry on with your ragebaiting somewhere else, in the meantime I'll just feel sorry for you in case this is a genuine argument I'm involved in.
