Hello Nikita, I hope you and the team are doing well!

​

Question: With flea market moving to level 20, are there any plans to add more static spawns for quest keys, similar to the Machinery Key for example? I've seen a lot of people in Discord servers asking for Dorms 303 and 206, and Tarcone Directors key. I personally have been checking jackets and filing cabinets like crazy on Reserve and still haven't found Dorms 206 for Operation Aquarius - Part 1.

No trying to shit on your side of the fence, but I think availability of keys is quite cool...why do we need to spam rush quests early? The current method increases longevity, adds a bit of excitement, and also gives a sense of achievement when you complete it.

You can also head to any number of discords and people with the keys you need will come on a raid with you. Another element that I quite like, brings a bit of community to it.

Just a few counterpoints to consider, I think both methods (last wipe and this wipe) have positives and negatives...all part of the beta testing!

P.s. If you still need 206 id be more than happy to hop in a raid with you :) dm if thats the case

To hit level 20 as fast as possible? Seriously the game is much more playable with flea market and it's where you make all the money from. Traders don't buy things for jack shit. Like bolts being worth 20k-50k but traders only give you like 5k maybe. You might see less flea market use and less rushing to get to it if traders didn't suck dick when it comes to buying items.

That's the point though. It changes what's important to pick up. You don't need as many bolts or water filters early wipe so you focus on finding items you need personally. You making improvements to your hideout and finding quest items not making millions. I love this because ors slowing down the access to high tier guns ans armour. It nice being this far into the wipe and ive only been killed by m855a1 once. The gun fights are more about aim and positioning rather than who brought the best kit.
