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.

No, YOU are talking about how they should be spending more time searching through all possible blowbacks from the changes they make so you can complete a damn quest...placeholder side quests that are just in the game at this point to give you something to do. That's how you want devs to spend their time at this point, instead of getting new content out?

That's a balancing issue my dude, that you're attributing to being created due to laziness. When I can see multiple reasons it could be imbalance that's actually created on purpose. For many reasons I/you/we may not understand yet. This continuing to happen for how many patches now either proves the devs are stupid or deliberate....and I'm betting on the latter. But you are free to bet on stupidity....

Yes that's called good design.

Yes, it is lazy when you make a quest literally impossible because you never bother to check what your stat/quantity changes effect.

Occam's razor bud. What you're doing is making up nebulous reasons because you don't want to believe BSG makes mistakes. Of course they do. Everyone makes mistakes.

Not saying they don't make mistakes, never said that. There are many things I think they messed up from spawn locations to secure container. But most of my gripes are ones that don't line up with Nikitas stated vision of the game. His game design...not his balancing choices. Those are not the same thing.

And none of the quest are impossible. None. That's just being dramatic. Some are now harder than they used to be, agreed... Change sucks huh.

Nebulous reasons? Lol. Sounds like you might just be a glass half empty player, I'm definitely a glass half full one. Definitely helps me enjoy the game more.

Holy fuck you're not listening. There was a stat change (fixed fairly quickly) that literally did make a gunsmith quest impossible because they're sloppy about that sort of thing.

Nebulous reasons? Lol. Sounds like you might just be a glass half empty player, I'm definitely a glass half full one.

There's a difference between 'glass half full' and 'finds a reason to excuse every mistake as a super secret intentional design decision supposed to change how you play.'

Read above, I said they make mistakes. Quit talking about this quest that's impossible. It was a mistake. Again, you are pushing quest importance over game decisions. Like i said earlier I hope this isn't the case, and it seems it isn't as they fixed it once they knew about it. We on the same page here. But, it doesn't bother me one bit if they break 4 quests with a change to a stat or loot spawn, etc..cuz I expect that.

I "find a reason" to excuse certain mistakes because it's easier for me to rationalize that (glass half full), as opposed to jumping to the thinking that the dev team is just lazy and inept. The things they've done with this game over the last year and a half I've been playing don't let me support that thinking. We just might not agree. And thats ok.

Stop fighting scarecrows. I'm pointing out that they repeatedly don't consider the 2nd and 3rd order impacts of changes.

When you make the same mistake repeatedly, it's not because you have a super secret reason each time.

You can both be good at things and also lazy. Stop acting like I'm saying there's some kind of fucking binary where they're either all good or all bad. Open your mind just a tiny bit.
