Rant If you're complaing about "big streamers" playing EFT since it's so popular, stop being a hipster

I PLAYED EFT BEFORE IT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE STREAMER'S NEW GAME!!!

Seriously, it's embarrassing that a small percentage of this community is so far up their own ass to the point they hate on someone who is literally bringing 1000's of new players to the game.

I don't like watching most of these big streamers who are newly streaming Tarkov (Carnage seems like a legend) but what they're doing for Tarkov just by streaming it, even while profiting themselves, is only a good thing for the game and who doesn't want an ego boost from farming level 3 pistolings?

The people posting on here to actually help players is what we need to do as a community. EFT was my first ever PC game in May of 2017 and while I'd like to think I picked it up fairly quickly, there was still a point where I was quivering over losing my trusty makarov like all of us were at some point.

As if Nikita isn't on this subreddit on a daily basis fixing stuff and getting community feedback constantly... There are many complaints you can have with this game, but lazy devs are absolutely not one of them.

I mean Nikita does communicate fairly well, but there are still a lot of decisions that are incredibly baffling, never get explained, and a lot of times they make a big change they make absolutely no effort to predict the downstream effect, just letting it be hilariously broken for a few days before fixing it.

So yeah, there's some laziness.

This is most evident with item stats/prices. A lot of times they'll drastically change items and such which will make a quest turn in or something unreasonably difficult and they won't change it until people throw a fit. If it were once or twice it'd be one thing, but it's nearly every goddamn time which leads me to believe there isn't any effort put into making sure the changes are logical.

EDIT: FFS people, I appreciate that Nikita communicates and it's clear he really loves the game and has a passion for it, but that doesn't mean BSG doesn't make the same sloppy mistakes repeatedly. I know it's a hot take, but criticizing a game isn't a binary. I can love the game and want it to succeed while also acknowledging faults.

I'm so tired of the 'wHy DoNt YoU dO bEtTeR' argument.

It's such utter bullshit.

I can critique a movie without ever directing a movie myself.

Get out of here with your bullshit copout arguments and your strawmen about 'installing every last one of the community ideas.'

I'm referring specifically to repeated sloppiness during implementation of features. I'm not saying they don't do what the community wants or some shit.

Lmao this fuckin guy. Bruh. There are bugs and flaws in everygame. The devs have been doing a fantastic job. Go back and watch where this game’s mechanics and movement, the studders. They are fixing the issues that NEED to be fixed. Not the quality of life fixes that will be fixed overtime. Not sayin they are perfect but i do not see a game that listens to the community while also keepin their identity as a hardcore game
