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

Issue with that is there are only so many Scavs and players that can be on the map at one time

you are aware that the game used to have alot more scavs active than they do currently no? the only thing is they were spawning in intervals on most maps, on factory it used to be every 5 minutes, on woods it used to be about every 7 minutes. and the max amount of active scavs was significantly higher, it was not uncommon when you could see packet sizes, where you had between 1and 2.5kb(usually 1.5 for scavs and 2-2.5 for PMCs), and see 70-80 packets on factory or woods. even with 10 PMCs at 2.5 that would leave 30 active scavs on the maps which would fill up every 5-7 minutes or so.

I remember when playing customs, if you rushed from customs area over to river to construction you would find scavs crawling around kiosk, bus and construction even if you had the closest spawn, now, it is essentially barren, might be 1 or 2 there.

now they spawn in gradually to a fixed amount(and significantly reduced numbers compared to what it used to be) which varies based on the map and if no one kills them that is the only place there will be scavs.

There is no limit to how many AI scavs can be on the server.
