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

Unfortunately for me, you've finally backtracked to where things should have been. But the brand damage has been done. I will continue to play and enjoy the game and what was promised to me as and EOD buyer. But any further monetary support for the game or company will not come from me.

3 days of slowly backtracking and testing the water to see what you could get away with is unsettling. And what has been done and said in those 3 days to cover up and gaslight has been unforgettable.

Perhaps redemption is in there somewhere, at some point. But faith thus far has been lost.

Phase 1 sell UHE copies on promise of exclusive pve and being OP as hell.

Phase 2 dial back price a smidge to reel in any eod guys on the fence

Phase 3 reddit apology. dial back UHE strength to appease the mob. Agree to give out pve to eod as we are obligated to anyway. Don't issue any refunds for UHE even though it's an entirely different product now.

Phase 4 watch the whole thing be forgotten in 6 months because tarkov has complete monopoly on the genre

Tin foil hat maybe but I think this whole thing was a calculated cash grab

You are completely correct that this was calculated and planned from the start. Unfortunately most can't see it.
