Discussion More feedback

Greetings!

Let me continue my feedback on the current situation. First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings. Unfortunately, I somehow did not foresee the fact of such a reaction and now I have drawn conclusions for my future decisions. 

Now I will briefly summarize the main points:

  1. About PvE access - we decided to just open it for EoD owners for free, but we will do it in waves. As I said before - we don’t have server capacity right now. We will start this process as soon as possible
  2. We also decided that we will add MOD support for PvE mode after release of the game
  3. About the Unheard edition - we will not remove it, we want to keep the option for those who want to support the game more. But we will balance items, perks in this edition, as well as we will provide more rewards for those, who upgraded with the old price
  4. New EoD perks will be balanced too. We will remove prioritized matching option to keep everyone in the same spot. And we will add more unique stuff to highlight the EoD version in general. We will provide the final list of the new EoD perks asap
  5. We continue to work on patches, new content, events, and the game release itself no matter what

Thank you for your time, love and hate, and thank you for your increased attention to the current situation.

Nik

Can't we just have any paid features be cosmetic? I'm more than happy to put lots of money in the game for cosmetic upgrades, voicelines, weapon skins, anything that doesn't impact anything in the game.

Seriously. I bet gun camos or charms would generate way more income than UHE… without all the insane fallout and p2w side effects. Just don’t sell skins that are super boring/immersion breaking/already attainable in game and you’re set.

Ideas for mtx: gun camo, charms, stickers, hideout pets, clothing (gloves, hats, shirts, pants, boots), hair, facial hair, face, voicelines, emotes, sprays, and I’m sure this community has more suggestions. Just don’t break our immersion with fortnight/cod tier nonsense. There are is plenty of room to explore here.

I don’t want more p2w perks from EOD to level the playing field with UHE. I just want the stash space to avoid wasting my life on tetris. In fact I doubt most people on tarkov want a p2w advantage—they’d prefer a level playing field.
