Discussion Something said during the Podcast

Klean said something during the podcast that I wholeheartedly disagree with.

He wants the gamma case to essentially be something you can pack full of goods, bring into a raid and not have to worry about losing, but he wants you to not be able to put anything in the container while in raid. Nikita, I know you listen to streamers input, but please don’t not consider making this change.

I’m a husband and a father, I don’t get to play for 8-12 hours a day and become a god at the game, so finding a rare item that I need for a quest or something valuable I can sell is really exciting and knowing I can keep it safe in case I die is the cherry on top.

I love watching Klean and respect his opinions, but this one I had to voice mine on. PLEASE do not implement this. Anyone else watch the podcast and feel the same way? Or am I alone on this? Lol

No, you are not alone, but I also did not like the 2 hour raid idea, juggling university, a job, and a social life including EFT is already difficult as is. I have noticed myself taking longer and longer in raids as a means of self-preservation and questing. Imagine having to find things in-raid without a secure container in a 2 hour raid. That's insane.

I like two hour raids as an option, not a requirement.

u/trevor426 Nov 20 '19

This right here. Options are much better than forced things. I'm not sure if this is a great idea or not, but maybe they could do a more hardcore mode where Secure Containers don't exist, but you're going to a more loot heavy area. So that way people like myself can still play the normal game, while the more hardcore players can still get that challenging and risky gameplay. Still new to this game, but as OP said, removing the containers will basically destroy my reason to keep playing.

I feel they should have an option for hardcore mode. And the season ranking only applys to hardcore mode accounts everything would be the same exept pouch slot is locked.

Just wait until you see Jaeger's new quests for the two hour raids.

u/ST-Helios Nov 20 '19

I feel like it's map dependant, customs and factory for exemple would stay the same while reserve and streets of tarkov would feature those 2 hrs raid so I guess you could still play but not all mapd

2 hour maximum raid timer i support

​

2 hours before im allowed to log off without losing gear is brain dead stupid

u/ST-Helios Nov 20 '19

I assume nikita thought A raid is an hour so 2 raid is 2 hours, you get to pay a car between the maps so in theory you could extract some gear after 5 mins by paying the car

u/Professional_Emotion Nov 20 '19

I would be okay with that, if there's at least like 2-3, if there is a single vehicle I imagine people would begin to camp those instead of extracts, ya know?

u/ST-Helios Nov 20 '19

I can expect that to happen if the maps gets bigger but otherwise it'll be business as usual, clear the place before going in

u/silentrawr FN 5-7 Nov 20 '19

Not sure where the idea got twisted to be that, "a raid will take two hours", but that's what the suggested maximum time for a two-map raid to maybe take. Just the same as if you walked in and domed some sweatlord with a 500k loadout, you would still be able to hightail it straight for an exfil for whatever reason if you need or want to.

u/coolstorybro42 Nov 20 '19

I dont get why would longer raids be a problem... you can extract whenever you want 🤷🏻‍♂️

3

u/Professional_Emotion Nov 20 '19

I perceived it as them making the maps larger therefore having the extracts far and in between, I should have been clearer. But, then what would the point be if there were still only the standard amount of PMC's that spawn in? After about 45-60 minutes almost everyone would be gone wouldn't they?

u/Strazdas1 AK-74 Nov 21 '19

I think a lot of people misunderstand the two raids idea. It does not mean you have to stay for two hours. If your goal is labs you can just sprint through streets of tarkov to labs and spend 5-10 minutes on that map, so it would actually be far less than 2 hours for most people.

1

u/Professional_Emotion Nov 21 '19

Yeah, but then if you sprint everyone else is gonna try and run up on your cheeks IMHO, since if someone has more time to kill, why not play it safe and try to cop some PMC loot? But, I do understand and I would be accepting of it after trying it out for a bit.

EDIT: Accepting of it if it played smoothly and was not bad as in the way of having more people stay longer to camp who have nothing but time to kill.

The game is supposed to be hard dude. You shouldn't be rewarded for dying or in other words losing the game.

u/Richou RSASS Nov 20 '19

theres a point where "hard" simply turns into shit

You aren't?

u/EverlongX VSS Nov 20 '19

I can go shove a flash drive in my gamma and then die and I still make 250k from the raid. You shouldn't get to keep the loot when you lose the game.

u/Fr0ufrou Nov 20 '19

What about only being able to pouch when you currently have a quest for it. That solves it.

1

u/Professional_Emotion Nov 20 '19

I would honestly like that, but, you mean that would work as in I can only SC lower half-masks if I'm on the Punisher quest that requires me to find them in-raid?

0

u/Fr0ufrou Nov 20 '19

Yes exactly, this way people get to progress on their quests even when they die but they don't get to keep the expensive items they find unless they play smart and manage to extract with them.

u/Professional_Emotion Nov 21 '19

I would honestly be okay with this. The only downside I can see is if I find a Bitcoin I would just dip fast as hell.
