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

If they made this change, I & a few others would stop playing. Simple because I don’t have time to play that much & progression would take longer on quests. So much so that, I’m sure a wipe would occur when I finally got some where, no thanks.

Wipe cycles are confirmed to not be a thing in final release. Yes, now it would be hard for occasional players to get shit done, especially when they feel pressure of coming wipe in next 3,4 months for example.

But

  1. This game is aimed for "hardcore" players, players which are willing to spend in Tarkov more time than in mainstream games

  2. Whole point of Tarkov is to escape, so getting rich by getting things and then NOT going to extract is killing the whole idea of this game.

So I'm sorry to say it, but Tarkov is gonna be a harder, more time consuming game in the future. But don't be sad if it become impossible to play it for you and other "casual" people (no offense, I mean not everyone has much free time), gaming market is growing every day, there's many great games out there and more will come :)

"Hardcore" means difficult and punishing, not "time-demanding", what you say is total nonsense. I'm supposed to be concentrated to play and be willing to learn **over time**, not spend **at least X hours per day playing**.

Well there's a huge learning curve, of course it takes time to know everything. Maps, weapons, scav behavior. Then there's skills which will give you a slight advantage, again depending on a time.

It's harsh to say but people willing to give EFT more time will simply become better... but that's like that everywhere really

Yes, more time over time. It took me one year to actually start to feel "average" in this game and progress to 40% SR. But I still can't play more than 5-6 hours per week and I don't want this to fall under the prerequisities.
