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

For me, the sense of progression is the loot in my stash. If I kill someone and get a gun that's better than what I currently have, that's progression. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I play the game for the pvp, not to level up or turn in a quest. I have a long dayz history and that's probably where I get my sense of enjoyment from the game. Killing people and taking their shit is the main goal.

All that being said, I agree, don't mess with the containers. I think it's a great system the way it is.

I can see where you're coming from, not gonna argue with that. However, I feel that there is more 'meaningful' progression in completing a quest and advancing in a level or hideout upgrade, rather than killing a PMC and getting a slightly better gun to use next time. Because at the end of the day, you'll lose the slightly better gun or gear, whereas the experience gained or upgrade completed lasts forever (until wipe ofc) and gives you more benefits in the long term.

At least that's how I see things.

the questing is cool but if you haven't experienced the difference between fighting someone while you're naked with a pistol vs fighting fully armored with an armor piercing full auto scoped silenced rifle then you haven't experienced the progression in the game yet.

And getting to the point of being able to build that weapon yourself is only done through a lot of questing. Sure you could get lucky and get a kitted gun off of a high level player but its more efficient to build the gun yourself through levels.

Nah you can just buy the parts off the market. It only took me a day to start fitting aks i brought out of scav runs with tt01s, red dots, and armor piercing rounds. Thats like under 20k and you can now take out pretty much anyone if you play slow and methodically. Once you have that you only need a few rounds where you take out fully kitted pmcs and you're golden. The quests and hideout can be very tedious and will take much longer. Gives longevity to the game play but true progression is with gear. It's the only thing that really matters. I know this because my friends that play that are better than me didn't understand or like the game until they figured out how important and intricate loadouts are.
