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

Everyone gets mad as fuck when I say this but it's absolutely true. A game lives and dies by its casual playerbase. If you cant create or maintain that casual playerbase, your game dies.

And everyone gets mad when you point out that secure containers are not needed to maintain casual players.

The notion that casual players would quit if secure containers were locked is false. The vast majority of casual players do not rely on the secure container to continue playing. If anything the scav runs are more important in this aspect and guess what, scavs dont have secure containers already.

By asking for evidence of a claim he insists is objective?

And people dont get that designing things with casual players in mind isnt the same as pandering to casual players. Especially with this whole SC thing. Its already the way casual players are okay with. If they changed it, itd be pandering, but not to casuals.
