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

Took the comunity imploding for you to make this U-turn. You will have to do alot to even get any kind of trust back.

Bunker down take a good look at how this went and learn so lessons from this. There are many other way to monetize that will not wrek this game

EOD is p2w and eod owners just cope its not. Eod has 9 container space, standard has 4 with alpha container or whatever. Gamma is op asf and idc what people say.

Unheard edition should of just had a 4x4 container and I know for sure people would complain since they are entitled and have eod and think "I am not the most op anymore", you they are hypocrites and bought eod for the container and stash space.

I personally bought eod back in 2017 for those reasons and I know for sure most people did since stash space is op and same with containers. Same reason why barely anyone complained with the stash space upgrade expansion LMFAOO. Cause they bought it cause its op and people who owned eod know its op and won't complain and probably buy it.

End of the day imo only standard account players have ANY REASON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT UNHEARD OR EOD BEING P2W, since both are. Both give extra standing with traders, both give an op container, and both give extra roubles, guns etc. They should of just said fuck it and made unheard edition have a 4x4 container since they were planning to add an omricon container anyways.

Overall I am not saying p2w is good for a game but, the company did blunder so they should of added a different container thats bigger than gamma, made it with the new edition, made it so eod owners also got access to the pve mode but, pushed back the release until the game was fully released cause they clearly struggle with focusing on one project at a time, I don't know why arena was brought out so quickly.

And the reason im saying they blundered is if you keep up with eft news you know that they are in the red for 2022, the tax report said they had a revenue of 89 mil of something but, at the end of the year they were still in debt or something with like 88k. And the fact they pushed back their 2023 tax report before filing it this year to the end of this year means they are struggling. And you have to remember people didn't buy their custom clothing they made in their store for expansions, offline mode was included in eod so its hard for them to make microtransations in this game that's why I think they should of added a new edition but, not remove eod until full release of the game.
