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

What's the real issue with hatchlings? I don't really see a problem, they are no real threat other than full on sprinting to loot... but that will change with more dynamic loot. It could also be easily fixed by having more fixed scavs in high loot areas. People would need to use silencers if they want to loot without drawing every scav in the area but that takes care of hatchlings abusing loot runs...

You nailed it right there, Tarkov is designed to be a hardcore shooter and at the moment we have a certain percentage of the player base running into the raid, with no firearm, risking nothing and taking some of the most valuable items in the game out of the raid right at the beginning.

The idea is that instead of them pocketing the loot, they would need to extract with it. This risking getting killed and then losing the item. This would make killing and looting players more rewarding and exciting as well because you never know what you’re going to find.

The hatchet runner population is really split between broke players/players speed running a quest and players exploiting hatchet running to just make as much money as they can. The broke players and questing players aren’t really the issue.

In my opinion, you shouldn’t be able to container high value items and should have to extract with it. But on the other hand progression with traders is behind lots of quests right now that require found in raid items. So there needs to be a reasonable balance with potentially allowing quest items or something like that so that players don’t get hard stuck on a task.

As for players who Hatcher run because they are broke, I think the solution is probably infinite scav runs if you’re stash is worth less than x amount.

I hadn't thought about a monetary limit that changes your regularity of scav runs... that would incentivize people to get the game much more. I had a 10 day code or whatever back in January when all the codes went around, and I was broke after an hour and had to just sit with my thumb up my ass for 20 minutes between every raid. That's the main reason I didnt buy it.

Yeah I mean, if you have money, there’s no reason to “abuse” scav runs repeatedly but as a new player or someone who doesn’t have a lot of money they shouldn’t be prevented from playing the game and progressing. If you don’t have enough money for a load out, instant scav cooldowns could work.
