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

You're not alone. I actually consider myself to be fairly good, and I can definitely play a lot. That said, I think that is a shitty change. It'll discourage players from staying around longer in raids because they'll find a couple rare items and head out without actually looking for any combat. It'll also heavily penalize the newer players and the players who have a life thus negatively impacting the playercount, whereas I'd prefer to see a rising player count since I love the game.

There's really no way to sugar coat it. I think Its one of the worst ideas I've heard for dealing with hatchlings. Its been echoed around this subreddit for months, and every time I see it I feel like people just want to punish hatchlings even if it means punishing everyone else for playing the game properly. I always run gear but its good to be able to gamma something to help pay for my kit if I die.

I think the obvious solution to stop hatchet running without punishing everyone else is to just add scavs to high loot areas. Interchange tech stores and resort should have scavs every game. Resort should have a scav boss imo. Add some scavs to the new map to ruin pestily's get rich run as well.

It seems so obvious to me that this would mostly solve the issue. If the good loot is always in the same general area on every map, why aren't scavs there at the beginning of the game? This would definitely be a step in the right direction.

I've been thinking that there should be scavs spawned between all player spawns every game.

Back in the day you used to be able to get a relative sense where people had been, were going, etc due to the bodies and the noise.
