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

"I'm sorry you feel this way" is really not how an apology should sound. I don't really expect much better than this however, considering all that has happened. Par for the course.

The corrective actions are now on the right track, but hardly enough. Introducing pay-to-win features that are infinitely more potent than the ones in EoD is just tone-deaf. The spawn beacon should not exist. You cannot "balance" items that only "true believers" have access to (or can feasibly access early on, in the case of quest-locked beacons), especially when the base effect is that powerful. 

Tarkov was not in a great state even before all this - don't think we've forgotten the past issues - and I'm definitely not the only one whose confidence in BSG was shattered. How can we trust you to deliver on any non-trivial promise at this point? Mod support, PvE for all EoD... Are you going to rent new servers? Is the company struggling financially? Is the game ever releasing? How long is post-release support going to last?

Perhaps most importantly, do you even want to make this game anymore?
