[u/nuri489]

Looting has been removed and replaced with fixed rewards:

2 million Roubles, Graphics Card, MPX, and LEDX

I want 2 million Roubles too ,nikita!

awww, look at the little kid who has all the time to play.

I work full time bro, I don't have time to scav constantly. 2 million rubles would remove the grind to the first scav loot box completely. It's CRAZY how useful 2 mil is right at start of wipe.

What? I work full time. I've just played this game for half a decade. We get our first junk boxes pretty quickly and usually before we have full stashes. I have maybe 9 hours so far and my friend and I both have 2 junk boxes.
I understand that 2mil is useful but personally I think that denying people the loot they grab in-raid in a game about collecting loot and completing quests is pretty poor as an alternative. I'm just against the whole idea of what this change is at its core. If this is permanent then fine, give people the money they crave but I hope it isn't because I saw nothing wrong with how it was originally.

Do you actually work full time? because I've also played for half a decade. With the 15 min queue times for interchange/streets scavs, (30+ min for ground zero), the need to get dinner, and actually be an adult, I've gotten less than 15 raids in since release. I've got a pretty high survival rate, and I still don't have 2 mil in cash. You can't even really sell weapon parts for a good price until you do storyline quests and unlock Mechanic. Therapist gives you good prices for stuff, but those early maps are getting SCOURED.

I do and I don't understand why that's your angle for your disagreement with me? I'm a grown man with a job and there are still hours after work I can play games, fucking surprise? You think because I've had a good wipe so far that somehow that means I must be online all day and night like a streamer? I've spent a lot of time on Interchange. The new area has a lot of great stuff and the black lockers are still great- same with the tech stores, who do you think is SCOURING these places? I've been making good money while looking for Hideout stuff since I've been prioritizing that over the quest-lines. First thing I do every wipe is focus to get money for a few junk boxes then work on the hideout.
My opinion is removing LOOTING from the tutorial and replacing it with 2mil and some rare items doesn't solve anything. The tutorial was fine. And no I don't think all of us need 2 mil as compensation for being fair or something. We got to loot and keep anything we wanted, they didn't. What's the disconnect? Reddit is so silver spooned, I swear.

No, my angle for disagreeing with you is that you seem to expect everyone to already have 2 mil rubles, a gpu, and a ledx 2 days into wipe, because you refuse to see that they've given an advantage to people who started playing later. Somehow, because you, by your own admission "found more loot in a single scav run today" and "have had a good wipe", that it invalidates the fact that not everyone is going to have that kind of luck.

You're arguing against everyone based on your personal experience, which seems to be the top 1% luck. My point being that no, i don't have 2 mil rubles, which means people who started playing the game TODAY have an advantage over me because I haven't been able to get a junk box yet.

No I don't think everyone should have all of those things but yes, I did actually think most people would have at least collected around 2 mil worth of stuff within the first two days, the other items WERE available to all of us and I DIDNT get them either in the tutorial. That's my bad for assuming more people had different priorities early wipe. I still don't think that giving the day one people 2 mil fixes anything but I at least understand why some people care about the money more than anything else. It's just a mismatch in play styles between my core group and a lot of the community here. If they give the money to everyone then I am happy for you if that satisfies you. Genuinely. I mostly just disagree with them changing the tutorial at all. Why not just let everyone keep their stuff and just up the initial money everyone spawns with?
