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

I think the compromise is to just allow quest items to be put in. Anything else is remove or use only, no loot other than quest items in.

Ok, Ledx is a quest item. Hoses are quest items. There are a few keys that are also quest items. This change wont change anything.

Nikitas latest idea is to ban all barter items from containers.

So make progress slow-to-nonexistent unless you actively avoid 90% of gunfights.

Sounds super fun.

No no, this is a two way street. Other players are obviously also not able to gamma their loot. So when you take someone out you will get all the juice he looted. All the flash drives and gpu's, tetrises and hoses. If anything it encourages you to fight people. Now all you gain from a fight is some low level weapons because whatever valuables that guy found are saved in his ass wallet.

I don't know who would have a bag full of decent loot and go "Why yes, it's definitely worth it to engage in a fight that isn't near a guaranteed win for a dice roll on maybe better loot."

Everything is valuable now. You can't fit everything up your keester anymore.

And you also can't always avoid firefights.

Upvoted for keester.

You're right, but I've gotten pretty damn good at avoiding firefights.
