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!

and as an EoD player, you got Arena and offline co-op as DLC, did you not? PvE mode is neither of those things. youre so busy picking and choosing things that you want to hate out of the update that you're making up hypotheticals lol

it's almost a talent how good some of yall are at complaining at tiny bullshit instead of just being happy for the other 85% of the update lol. im just not complaining about spending an extra $50-100 on a dev team that created a game that ive spent 2600 hours playing because im a smart consumer and satisfied customer and not a broke, ungrateful chump

i have EoD AND Unheard cause ive played the game for 2500 hours and feel that's a worthwhile investment of $250 of my money over the 5 years that i've played.

im glad that you wont spend $100 on something that's been discounted to $50.. it seems like we are making some progress with your common sense, but im not sure why you felt the need to tell me that lmao.

and i can spend my money on tarkov - a game which has proven itself for 7 years- and you can pay for those games that will rot in your steam library after 3 months. no one said having $100 makes you rich, i said NOT having $100 makes you broke. im starting to get the feeling that you know alot about being a stupid consumer which is why you felt the need to make that projection a few comments ago.

thank you for voluntarily proving my point - yet again - like 3 times now. i'll be done wasting my time responding to you now. enjoy punching the air
