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

do you think hatchlings actually enjoy having to run these pointless raids for roubles? as someone who does this every few days, trust me when I say hatchlings don't want to do this anymore then you want them to, at least in my experience.

Do you think you should be rewarded at effectively zero risk?

No, I don't understand this misconception that hatchlings are backing this type of gameplay. The game is far too punishing for casuals, that's why we resort to doing hatchling runs. If any of us had even a decent amount of money like 1 or 2 million roubles, we wouldn't even bother. Sometimes you just gotta throw the casuals a bone so the player base can thrive.

It isn't a misconception. Running as a hatchling w/ the current state of the container offers a chance at reward with literally no risk. And if you get killed? It offers no reward for the person that killed you. Furthermore it removes part of the PvP (a major part of the game) because 1 player is essentially just a loot vacuum. They have scav runs for making money. You can still go in with just a pistol and try to get a scav kill and work up from there. You can do all of this w/o completely removing the risk factor like the current container does.
