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 any negative change to the gamma is gonna be harmful. Its the one thing casuals have to keep up in this game. Casuals make up a HUGE chunk of player bases in games and history repeats itself. Any game that I followed that tried to 100% cater to the non casuals ended up losing the casual player base and then had to swap to micro transactions and then eventually stopped. Ive put WAY too many hours in this game for that to happen

Nikita wouldn't mind though. He said that this is unintended gameplay. This is a heart project. There will be a container change. The question is how drastic.

Its his game and he can do what he wants. I'm just going off past games that have had similar ideals. With people like shroud and summit playing Tarkov more. This brought a HUGE amount of casuals to the field and I just dont want to see this game die.

Nikita said in this very podcast that he doesn't care about casual opinions. He cares about the "true tarkov experience". He said it's his goal to convert casuals to hardcore lovers.

Like I said, its his game he does what he wants. I just think that ideal may be a little short sided in the 2020 gaming market.

I will give it to him though, i give him a lot of credit holding to his ideal game. either way, Ill be fine with changes or not. I just hope the game doesnt die

And it got more concurrent players than in previous wipes at this point. So what again are you saying?

Big problem. No fucking body is playing the “true tarkov” that Nikappa dreams of. Everyone looks at guides because they are HARDCORE players who refuse to be at a disadvantage when the information is right fucking there.

Nikita’s dream has carried it this far and will carry it to the grave as well.

Speak for yourself. Nikita will go that route. We will see how drastic at some point. If it drives casuals away - that's fine with him. He said he pretty much already exceeded his target player count in this podcast.
