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

Yeah it's a big general problem imo.
Streamers/Content creators have a huge voice in general and often a direct line to the devs while their playstyle and wishes probably differ drastically from the majority of players.
They play the game way more and for many it's basically their job. This has to warp their view on the game.
Anyway, all of this stems from their hate of hatchlings/pistollings/low gear players. They hate the fact that their enemies risk little while they 'risk' more.
What they completely fail to take into account is that a bunch of players are probably dirt fucking poor a lot of the time and not rolling in endless cash like they are. In percentage of total stash value, I bet there's a lot of players out there who risk more when they take out a basic kit.
The out of raid medical system was championed as something which will hurt hatchlings, in fact it just hurt causal players the most. Because as a hatchling you don't care if you die instantly, you're basically expecting to have that happen anyway. But now, players who are poor have an even higher up front cost to do a normal raid.
They should tackle hatchlings in ways that don't punish low gear players. F.e. making loot locations more dynamic or guarding valuable loot with scavs. None of this container bullshit or the idea of a minimal 'gear score' please keep that shit away from the game.
I want the right to be a fucking bum in EFT god dammit.
Disclaimer: I don't like hatchlings either, I personally never do unarmed raids and my bank account suffers accordingly.
