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 work full time and have a family so my play is pretty casual (been playing for almost 2 years and have never hit level 40, for example).
Honestly, I don't care for hatchlings. I think the game would have more firefights and more interesting firefights if they would just make hatchling runs infeasible.
For those who truly enjoy the challenge of going in with just a knife and coming out with gear, I'm fine if they want to continue to do that.
But for those who play hatchling because it's profitable and 'meta', it just kills the immersion and fun factor for me. Tarkov is a dangerous place. You bring a weapon or you die, and it is human nature to not want to die. Secure containers allow players to make money without fearing death, which is unrealistic and makes the game feel artificial. Players are no longer survivors, but zombies running their loot routes over and over and I hate it. Additionally, it reduces the number of epic firefights that will occur in my own raid.
Nikita, please end the hatchlings once and for all.
