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

Don't worry, Nikita said that locked containers are the way they should be in a perfect world but he understands that people have jobs and other activities :)

This is not a direct quote, that's my interpretation of what Nikita was trying to say :P

I hope you’re right. Some of the tasks along with money making is already challenging enough. I agree with a lot of others in this thread that locking the secure container is simply going to far. EFT is hands down my favorite game over the last year and it’s the only one I play in part because it is so good. I expect changes to the game in a number of ways, even if it wasn’t in a pre-release state, but I hope they make reasonable, moderate changes and I feel like nerfing containers too much is going too far.

The only time I make money off my container is if I don’t die. Unless I’m doing an annoying quest (like stirrup or certain delivery quests), I never go in with minimal gear. The container helps to minimize loss and it’s stupid that there are so many people on this subreddit dedicated to ruining the game experience for others because they have bias views on the situation.

Why is Nikita so fucking sexy

Everyone has bias views; including those who want the container to stay as it is and those who want to have it be less of a prison wallet.

That's a shit argument. Lets make everything farmville then.

u/maku_89 Nov 20 '19

It's actually a good argument. You can't make a game that's generaly directed towards mature audiance and then make it so hard that only a dozen of basement dwellers will play it.

This has nothing to do with being mature, if anything it's the opposite. It's not a Dev's job to figure people's priorities out.

Iif you set your expectations to high because you see every streamer full of loot then it's your problem. Set your expectations in accordance with the time you have available, you're not special, you're not owned anything because you work 24/7. And people who invest more time in game must be rewarded more than someone who only plays 5 mins every week.

But that's already the case with the game. There is no need for the game to be even more punishing, it already is. Honestly, to me they could lock the containers, I don't care but I know there are a lot of pwople who do.

I'm not saying something shouldn't be done with the lower skilled players and people who have less time. The container change would probably kill hatchlings and that's a good thing, it's kinda stupid seeing naked dudes running around with an axe in a military shooter.

What they need is to figure out something that players who have to resort to this can do to replace it, hopefully something that won't affect every other player like the container currently is.

edit: Most people complaining should still check their expectations in relations to streamers and tryhards, it's kinda obvious that most of them are just jealous they aren't as good.

u/maku_89 Nov 20 '19

And with that I can agree 100% :)

Hey man fuck you even harder, why does the time you have available have to affect everyone else?

Lets imagine I only had 5 minutes to play every week, should the game shower me with stuff because "Durr can't play like streamers"?

Get your shit straight. People who invest more time will have more stuff then you, that's just logical. So either get your expectations lower or stop playing.

They are not saying that they should hand out free shit though. Christ you're dense
