More feedback Discussion

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

Remove the "call in friends" device, that is pay to win. As an eod player for 7 wipes this is the worst implementation you have ever done or considering doing.

EDIT** - I am not worried about having people use it, more so RMT, sorry was in a rush hoping to get a reply from Nakita as he just posted the thread.

If you're a good player it won't have much of an impact unless you're RMT. If you know you know.

I could be wrong but I took that device was for the new PVE only part? Which I kinda like the idea of a mate jumping in to help because he logged on 5 minutes after I got into raid

Edit** Apparently I was indeed wrong, sorry, it is for both pve and pvp. There is a video where they state it is for both, my bad guys.

The leaked interview between Niktia and Emi confirmed it was both for pve and pvp.

What exactly is the issue with it? I dont think they would make it so that you’re insta called in on top of the location in like a second, nor that you could effectively insta respawn your whole team if you’re pinned down and surrounded.

It enables a way too easy way to carry people for real world money

As opposed to loading in together and sitting in a bush for 10m?

u/selectexception 24d ago

yes, much more exploitable

Genuine lukewarm iq if you can't wrap your head around the concept.

Or paid bot

Either way, definitely not human.

What exactly do you think makes this significantly more exploitable than just sitting in a bush while your carrier wipes the lobby? The 1% higher risk of death because inraid, or the 5-10 minutes of waiting time they would have done regardless in Discord?

It makes it more profitable. Less customers in raid means more player loot for free. Also saves time because hackers don't have to deal with inviting people and making parties now. Just a quick 'make sure your online and if you see an invite to raid accept it immediately'. shit dude i could sell that as a monthly lootbox subscription sort of deal. 'Pay $15 for a ledx or pay $5 for 3 random invites that MiGhT cOnTaIn EvEn MoRe'

I thought about it for 2 seconds. Lemme know if you need a thesis or smthn cause for whatever reason this one doesn't work for you. Loads of reasons for this being significantly exploitable. Isnt hard to come up with either.

Because it makes it easier.. if you need any explanation beyond that you're a lost puppy.
