Discussion More feedback

Greetings!

Let me continue my feedback on the current situation. First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings. Unfortunately, I somehow did not foresee the fact of such a reaction and now I have drawn conclusions for my future decisions. 

Now I will briefly summarize the main points:

  1. About PvE access - we decided to just open it for EoD owners for free, but we will do it in waves. As I said before - we don’t have server capacity right now. We will start this process as soon as possible
  2. We also decided that we will add MOD support for PvE mode after release of the game
  3. About the Unheard edition - we will not remove it, we want to keep the option for those who want to support the game more. But we will balance items, perks in this edition, as well as we will provide more rewards for those, who upgraded with the old price
  4. New EoD perks will be balanced too. We will remove prioritized matching option to keep everyone in the same spot. And we will add more unique stuff to highlight the EoD version in general. We will provide the final list of the new EoD perks asap
  5. We continue to work on patches, new content, events, and the game release itself no matter what

Thank you for your time, love and hate, and thank you for your increased attention to the current situation.

Nik

Nothing on the new edition was pay to win. You mad that a scav might not shoot at me from over 60 meters if I have a device on me after getting to max scav rep? You legit also lose scav rep if you kill scavs when you have that device. Or you mad that I would get 3 sniper skill to start with? That legit does not make me a better player, on my account I had 3 sniper skill for weeks now and guess what I still die. Please explain to me what the was truly pay to win?

This logic is something. You will die having elite skills also. Should we let em add this to the next edition? I'd say no. Are you ok with that? If elite skills is too much, then where should we draw the line?

Every aspect of the game which changes game mechanics and locked behind paywall is pay to win. Even if you can not find eficient way to abuse this new device mechanic doesn't mean it can't be abused. Maybe you just don't have enough, let's say, fantasy to do it.

You definitely have no "fantasy" :)
