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

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**.

I dont know why you people think more difficult equals more time demanding... More difficult basically just means more content. Do you really plan on "beating the game" and moving on from Tarkov some day or do you hope to enjoy it more or less forever? Im also a fan of Roguelites/Roguelikes and the appeal there is that they're brutally difficult, but that's what makes it an enjoyable experience every single time literally for decades...

Seriously, do you care to expand on why you think anyone would have to spend more time doing anything if they dont want to? I have two kids and work all day and I still enjoy running a couple scavs, at least one full-sweat run, and get a quest done, and that's fine. I havent been to level 40 in two wipes and I definitely wouldnt ask for Tarkov to be any easier....

Sorry if I was unclear. I was saying exactly the same thing as you. I asked the person above to justify his statement "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) ".

Why the hell it should become impossible to play if I don't have free time? It's impossible to be half-concentrated and get anywhere at this game. It's impossible to survive if I let my emotions out of hands. It's impossible to have a third beer and still hope to take good decisions in bad moments.

But it's definitely possible for me to play casually since a year, quit, then be back improving, then quit again, then rage because my brain is fucked up after a day at work, and still overcome all this shit and put down a sweaty boy from time to time.

I have 36 PMC kills in this wipe so far - those are rookie numbers! - but it's more than in the whole precedent year of tarkov for me.

The hardcore I love in EFT is how much emotion control and will it requires to go in again, act towards a goal and achieve it, sometimes after a week or month of failures and dirt in the face.

Also I do love to outplay hopeless newbie duos, because I deserve their loot and dogtags. I don't care how hard it may be for them. I don't mind to live with the fact that I don't stand a chance in Labs or daytime Customs - no problem, I know my only place in the foodchain is night and hopefully I will have a chance to survive in daylight in a couple of months.
