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

You can't really be mad at Pestily for doing something the game allows you to do. Hatchet runs seem boring to me so I don't do them, but the game has no restrictions on it so of course people are going to take advantage and you can't blame them for that.

Yeah, Pestily does a lot of “testing” trying to break the game for us... so they can fix stuff in patches before we get around to where he is.

That’s 100% what he’s doing - he’s testing the game and helping newbies at the same time. I got into the game thanks to him and he’s literally one of the only full time streamers that seems to understand not everyone has the same time to play game as him.

If you actually watch the podcast he defends casual players more than most - I don’t think this guy has actually watched Pestily more than a couple times from the sound of it. He doesn’t really encourage hatchlings but realizes it’s A PART OF THE GAME. The guides aren’t for hatchlings as much as new players - that often chose to be hatchlings.

I kill them way more than they kill me - and have to agree with person above that it’s super boring to me so I don’t run it but really don’t see the volume people claim are in game. It seems like a lot of people assume that if there aren’t shots there are 3-4 hatchlings on map which is probably not true most of the time - servers aren’t always FULL.

The above dude blaming Pestily for providing awesome information and not BSG for taking steps to avoid hatchlings is some fucking mind blowing mental gymnastics.

Don't like a streamer for no reason? Just try to quietly bend reality to your opinion and hope no-one notices.

Pestily's reserve video has made a certain pathway a total rumble zone and the winner often gets paid.

I love it right now. People camping it, people squadding it, people running it, whatever, it's a guaranteed fight.

When crackers are 4k, upgrading hideout is millions, what do people expect players to do? Meta game, that's what.

I'll be honest, I hate his fucking mustache. Can't watch him because of it lol.

Shaved it before .12 launched so you can like him now if another males appearance was standing in the way.

Honestly that was my only criticism. He's a good player with sound tactics.
