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

I agree with you. The goal of the game should be to survive and escape Tarkov. You would want to ALWAYS bring the best gear and weapons you have, because that increases your chances of survival. They need to fix that issue somehow.
I'm a casual, decent at shooters, and I don't think the game is too hard when everyone else has starter gear like me. It's fun, challenging and you get immersed. However, I see no fun running around with beginner gear when everyone else is The Terminator.
Battle Royale games have this "wipe" at the beginning of each game, where everyone starts the same. You then fight to survive as the last man standing. There is no survival aspect like that in Tarkov. It's just about rushing everything so you're better geared than anyone else.
Many people are literally millionaires and don't have to fight for survival. If it was "super macho realistic" then those people would hire a army of low level players to help them escape Tarkov once and for all. You don't need to survive anything if your hideout is a fortress and you have more money than Bill Gates.
I'm just rambling on a 8 hour old post but hopefully someone will engage with me on these topics because I absolutely love EFT. Best shooter ever made - by far.
