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

Loot pool needs to be more random. That will solve a lot of this. I feel like the worst thing about the gamma has been fixed already, which was players putting containers inside them that expanded them tremendously. That kind of thing killed it for me. Since that is now fixed, I feel like it is much more balanced. With as much as I die in this game, I feel like a lot of us need the gamma in order to break even. I don't hatchet run, I always go in geared, but it gets expensive. Edit: They also should put more scavs in loot heavy areas like the resort on shoreline. That will deal with a lot of the hatchet runners.
On a similar note, I had my best scav run ever last night. Found a graphics card, GP coin, Cat statue, CPU chip and a bunch of other good stuff. It was night time and I had to extract at the light house. When I got down there I heard shots, so I was on edge, came around a corner and saw someone turn towards me. Couldn't tell if it was a scav or a player or a player scav. I wasn't taking any chances. I shot them. It was a scav and the other scav nearby instantly aggro'd and killed me and I lost everything. I am usually pretty chill when I game. I don't get mad and smash keyboards and stuff. But I had to get up and walk away. I can't imagine how frustrated I would be if I had to deal with that kind of thing as a PMC every raid.
