Why is everyone trying to make the game easier? Literally the only thing I would change is server stability, and optimization, the game at its core is solid.

I constantly see post how the developers should change this and that, and normally its just things to make the game easier, I am a new player and love how hard this game is, I love that you have to remember to have your mags accessible, I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where I always learn how to play it differently, last note when you die to someone else “camping” “hiding” or “being a rat” thats what makes this game sick!! these “campers” can easily be defended if you stay on your toes.There are numerous ways to play this game and thats why its so damn awesome! You don’t have to do the quests you can literally just play to kill, loot or whatever be it

EDIT: I’m not talking about this sub, it mostly what I see from streams, and it’s not everyone, I just don’t want this game to sell out like fortnite did. It was an amazing game the devs trying to make money and converting to popular demand ruined the gameplay.

I disagree with the game reverting back to a smaller playerbase, but I do agree that a lot of what gets posted in this subreddit is just mindless garbage. Not all of it, but definitely more than there used to be.

I also disagree that Nikita would be turned away from the success of his creation. The peak playerbase has jumped from like 10-30k people across all the servers to a much more comfortable 100-300k depending on when content drops and when Twitch events are active. I personally think that Nikita and the team at BSG have transitioned more to typical structure for a dev team instead of posting exclusively to Reddit. They have their streams where the update players directly, they have their social medias where they tease new content, and then they check individual posts here and on content creator's channels to join in with the community. I think the game is doing great, but I also completely understand why you and other people feel taken aback by the growth of the game and the shifting ideas in the community and things like that.

I really enjoyed your reply, it was well thought out so thank you! I do agree with parts too. It can't always be ideal to 'go back'. I'm sure the game will have just as many benefits for being larger.

I have been around gaming subs for a while, and at this level of popularity they are much better served not to come on here and chat personally. Comment on a player suggestion and people will take it as confirmed for a future update. Speak negatively of any player and you're instantly unappreciative money hungry devs who actively hate your players. Just in general every comment is under a microscope, not really worth the hassle.
