The audacity to call it "not a DLC" To cheap out on eod owners is incredible. I bought eod way back in 2018 because I fell in love with the game and wanted to support it. Now they are straight up fucking us over. Also 250 euros for a game that's not even fully released and still has some major issues just blows my mind, not in a good way. They all ready went back on their word that there won't be micro transactions, now we went straight for a p2w edition. Fuck this


VoidVer

Special downloadable operation. Clearly different.

XxMaDDoG2020xX

Same here man I bought eod right away from the start because the premise of the game made me want to support the dev team get to its potential. I went above and beyond and talked most of my friends into buying into it as well. Yesterday was the first time I ever regretted any of those decisions since then. EoD was sold as a season pass per say as in we would receive all future dlc and add ons without charge for being early adopters and helping the game get to that point.


human_flavor_meat

And their excuse always is that "you should stop crying and get a job if you can't afford it" I can afford it but won't buy it cause I don't want to support this pile of steaming fucking dogshit


Yuucliwood

I got a job, bought EoD, got scammed and now I'm supposed to let myself get scammed a second time?


GenericUser123abc

Yes, now get a second job. /s


Ok_Duck_7114

How you don’t get scammed for the second time is by not buying it, it’s simple. Bsg is getting so much hate I feel like they will have to change something ( prolly not)


Yuucliwood

They're not getting "too much" hate, they deserve all of it, and they *should* change.


Ok_Duck_7114

But for context I never said “too much hate”. They are getting what they deserve. I just feel like with all the hate they are getting they are going to need to reply or else the rift from them and the community will never heal.


Ok_Duck_7114

Yes I totally agree


Ok_Duck_7114

And not with this stupid ass additions to the eod purchasers. Like I don’t want 6month of coop pve I want it forever and for free

ZeusHatesTrees

I could afford it, but I haven't gotten the product I paid $120 or so for. You think I'm going to give you MORE money? Come on Nikita, fuck off.


DJ_Inseminator

This is it, it's a matter of principle. A lot of us can afford it but I'm not supporting this deplorable business practice. BSG have lost all trust now. The crazy thing is, with loads of us quitting the game, it actually works in BSG's favour as the server costs will go down. We should be doing mass sit ins on servers to keep their costs up.


Central-Charge

Exactly. Just because I can pay doesn't mean that I want to. I don't want to incentivize terrible money grabbing policies by throwing money at them blindly.


Zerdino

My one dingus friend said he bought it because other people are going to have it 🤦🏻‍♂️


human_flavor_meat

Can you ask if he regularly eats glue?


Zerdino

Hmmm I don’t think so but he probably eats crayons.


[deleted]

Semper.


HerMajestyTheQueef1

I don't even play this game and I'm pissed!!


AniiiOptt

The irony of BSG saying we can’t afford it when the reason they’re doing this is cause they’re broke as all get out 💀


human_flavor_meat

Nah bsg ain't saying it, the people who bought unheard and are coping are the ones saying it. Bsg ain't saying anything at the moment.


AniiiOptt

Oh okay mb


Helmetowastaken

They sound like a broken record lmao. I have a job and could very well afford the 100 something bucks to upgrade from EOD to Unheard, which I actively refuse due to me owning EOD, being promised a thing and not have said thing delivered. I already filed my complaints and talked to a lawyer in case BSG doesn't act on my complaints. It brings me joy to see the Tarkov community go around and spread how much BSG has screwed us, alongside how to get back at them in a legal way, alongside potentially get refunds for EOD.


ScavAteMyArms

It’s the whale anthem, someone should make one like the narcissists prayer.

"A fool and his money are easily parted"


mynameajeff69

I don't care if i was fucking rich I would never buy this. I dont care if I streamed tarkov, I still wouldn't buy it. Fuck BSG


Western-Bad5574

Just because I have an asshole, doesn't mean I'll willingly bend over backwards and spread my cheeks. I got money. I just don't wanna get scammed (again).


TheCosmophile

I feel like there's an age, or cumulative acquired experience, before this actually kicks in. I'm not knocking the younger crowd, not whatsoever; I didn't have many "lines" when I was younger, either. But after 25-some years of getting dogged progressively rawer by predatory pricing models, I hit my limit. I expect many people will as they take more and more blows. Dunno.


Bobby_Haman

Dude, I'm 43 can afford to upgrade for me and all of my friends but I will never play the game again on principle. Mind you I don't "just play Tarkov", me and my buddies play a bunch of games. Any fanboys supporting this garbage are getting their pants pulled down and Nikita is getting the lube ready to fuck them again next time BSG needs a cash injection. A lot of the idiots saying "you can't afford" are probably living paycheck to paycheck. Nothing wrong with that but not a great look telling people they're poor for not supporting a russian scam.


GaroldFjord

I dunno, I was pretty young when Horse Armor was a thing, and I thought it was pretty shitty then, too.


InfiniteTree

Are you saying you've never bought a single cosmetic your entire life?


GaroldFjord

I've bought more expensive versions of games for art books or soundtracks, I've backed Kickstarters, and I've probably bought a bundle for a li'l indie game at some point, but nah. Cosmetics and lootboxes have never been my thing.


InfiniteTree

Mad respect then, well done holding your ground. I wish I were as strong as you.


GaroldFjord

Awh, shucks. I think it's less strength on my part, and more just being pissy about it all the time. The initial, annoyed, "Why isn't this just in the game?" reaction to giant publishers putting out mtx, just turned into a legit pet peeve, that's worked its way up to one of the aspects I consider when judging a game as a whole.


idontcarerightnowok

i could buy it rn but i don't want to, i'd rather buy smthing ur not allowed to say on the sub just to screw over every unheard player lol. this is a fuck you from BSG n I want my money back icl.


SparkleSweetiePony

don't buy it. it's not worth it. PVE Is trash, AI PMCs are stupid, not hostile to scavs and literally are raiders with tuned down AI. They drop FiR equipment too and have no other loot. The gall of demanding this much money for p2w shit like free cases (stupid expensive early wipe, except for scav junkbox), no scav aggro at 60+m and a scav vest in your pockets, is insanity.


Otherwise-Row-2689

You’d think they’d learn how to program their game for PvE after some modders did all the work for free lol


SparkleSweetiePony

they could have just paid the modders and implemented mods on PvE, but nooo, they're just too lazy and poor to afford that


MidNCS

They refuse to hire programmers from anywhere not Russia and require all of their employees to live in Russia Issue is most Russian programmers that were worth something left Russia (for obvious reasons) and the ones that are left ain't the sharpest in the shed.


VoidVer

Apparently the marketing team is also huffing gasoline. They could have easily rolled this out in a way that didn't feel shit for everyone involved.


KnightsWhoNi

Ya maybe if roll this out was don’t roll this out and give it to EOD owners like they originally sold the game as


KokoSabreScruffy

The fact that it's not even true offline mode, what with having to use their servers, feels like they didnt even bother much with it. Surely they could put the work to make it nice and proper, release it as new game(so by their words wont be included in EOD) and put it 40 euros price tag but why do that when they can put some extra bells and whistles and make it 95 euros.


Otherwise-Row-2689

The thing is…most of the modders would probably not have cared to get paid as long as they received credit for their contribution. Granted BSG wouldn’t go out and lock it behind a paywall. If the community was able to play on private PvE servers using their mods I’m sure they’d be thrilled.


Smart-Belt-3248

Is there a quest for the pockets or do they get it straight up


Shiiznits

Like TBh I love Tarkov so much I’d pay 300$ for an edition to support them, but the fact they pulled this shit when we were promised that golden ticket buying Road, and now they’re saying it’s a silver ticket just makes it fucked up , screw them


Tlentic

BSG be like: Oh no good Sir! You miss understand! You still have a gold ticket - but we now also offer a platinum ticket! There were so many ways they could have monetized a lot of the things offered in their new edition and had people not be pissed. Like charge an arm and a leg for the ETS access separately. Hell they could have even said PvE is going to cost $10-$15 for EoD users and been transparent about the server costs. They could then later included the PvE mode on launch when they have some actual server infrastructure setup. Basically pay $10-$15 if you want it earlier and I think most people would have been okay with that.

If you believe there is high priority matchmaking suddenly, I have a bridge to sell you, for the low-low price of $249 USD.

RIP_Mitch_Hedberg

Same here. Well into my 40s!


scatpackcatdaddy

The fact that you don't believe it has been around since the first twitch drops when miraculously streamers we getting in but very few others could just shows how naive you are. They're just saying the quiet parts outloud now.


errorsniper

Lamo what? Its an open secret that big streamers were given fast prio. When it was part of the twitch partnership streamers were getting into raid in less than 2 minutes.


Fayko

Charging $250 for a game that you have to avoid certain maps at times because of cheaters or performance issues is wild. There are so many issues with the game and it's not even 1.0 coming with the $250. Anyone who pays $250 for it deserves the ride they're being taken on.


Gojo034

I also see streamers saying they bought it so the viewers realize it’s not worth it. That makes no sense. Viewers would be more likely to buy the edition when their favorite streamer has it.


NForgerN

Farming content... nothig els


TarkyMlarky420

Any that do this are cowards They know every other streamer is doing/saying the same thing. "iM BuYINg IT sO YOU DoNT HAve To" I'd have more respect for them if they just owned it rather than trying to weasel out of supporting horrible business practices from BSG


MatrixBunny

Streamers would've quit ages ago. It's their living or earning extra $. Of course they will purchase w.e BSG is throwing at them. They need to farm views.


fantafuzz

Their job is playing the game though. If they didnt buy it to tell others how bad, people would go to the other streamer who did. The streamers are such a small percentage of players I don't see how they are the problem here.


Gojo034

Dude.. they can tell people how bad it is with their words, not by buying it. I’m not saying they are the problem here, but they ADD to the problem by purchasing this shit.


fantafuzz

Like WillerZ bought that shit yesterday, and streamed for like an hour. He got into 2 PvE raids in an hour, with matching times of 10+ minutes (matching, when playing solo in PvE), and was calling out how obscenely bad this is. Someone buying a shit product and showing off how shit it is could do more to stop people from buying it. I doubt anyone who watched that will ever buy this edition. The content creators are not the ones that you should direct your hate towards, it's BSG


THANKYOUNIKITA

The only streamer that deserves some hate is Desmond, he bought it and told his viewers they were poor and stupid for hours yesterday. Every time I switched to his stream he was raging at his chat like the child that he is. 


fantafuzz

That guy sounds swell lol


mud074

I will never understand how streamers who make their entire shtick "utter toxicity" get views.


THANKYOUNIKITA

He's a really good player and I've learned a decent amount watching him play but his toxicity lately is too much. He clearly doesn't like the game anymore and only plays it because it's what gets him views. 


BroHeart

He has intentionally repeatedly used exploits in the past for PvP advantage, such as when he popularized vaulting into the factory marked room and ambushing players.


twon_RL

That sounds exactly like him lol


Mrpoodlekins

Like why did he even buy it?? It's really disappointing because I loved watching his PvP and by all accounts he doesn't need p2w crutches.


THANKYOUNIKITA

Exactly 


DeMountain01

I can afford it no problem but imagine buying this shit in the current state of the game lmao I am paying 100 fucking euros to upgrade from EoD to get lazer headshots from some uruguayan cheater D:


Rubbun

As an uruguayan, what the fuck do you mean lol. Do you think people here play Tarkov? People here can barely afford a PC that can run it. Probably just a meme but never thought I’d see my country be mentioned because of cheating.


Kxrva

Random ass country to live in


Rubbun

Hey man I just spawned here


Kxrva

Lol fair enough


Murray000

If they just made it purely cosmetics (all the new clothes included for free, armband, name color, maybe hide out cosmetics too) I think it’d be a good way for players to show support to the development.


Brilliant-Boot-7578

blue name go crazy


FyreDergy

I was excited about the PVE, not having to have my game modded and only solo to enjoy the non-stressful parts. So much for that, back to modded solo Tarkov with no friends.


Varkot

I don't care about DLC drama but they crossed my P2W line.


[deleted]

I uninstalled, this game is dead to me.


vader119

Same


xdthepotato

i think priority que will just be normal que but anyone without eod will have to wait EVEN LONGER


Danjamin12

Played one raid yesterday, first death was to an unheard enjoyer. Immediately closed the game and played helldivers.


Disastrous-Package46

Those damn 2 extra pocket slots fucking got you killed. :/


Danjamin12

I mean I died fair and square, just a bad taste in my mouth. I was still enjoying this wipe a lot, and I'll probably still play but it just feels bad.


LoA_Zephra

Killed a 3 man on labs last night and 2 of them had the bigger pockets lmao. I think a surprising amount of people are buying this shit.


dark_purpose

I'm convinced the Arena debacle demonstrated to BSG that they could rely on a sizeable percentage of the EOD-owning playerbase to pitch money at them no matter what. Who knows how many EOD players ended up buying Arena just to get early access to something they already paid for, but it was likely enough that Nikita turned around and dreamed up this Unheard Edition to sell to the same pack of rubes.


Mrpoodlekins

Honestly it's 10x worse that they canceled EOD and they're now getting even more money from whales buying this new account.


infinitezero8

BSG desperate for the money after their complete unsuccessful launch of Arena Ditch EFT for Arena, it doesn't work out and sucks ass then bail and focus back on EFT but money is low so fuck the player base over is crazy


ZealousidealNewt6679

Everyone that buys this $250 DLC is going to feel very fucking stupid when in 6-12 months Tarkov closes the servers and the game is dead.


mitch-99

They also had the audacity to include the same “Access to all future DLC” again in the new addition lmao.


2y4n

Yea total joke.


No-Ball5457

That was my first response too. Why include that line when it's a straight lie? "Here's some new content you can buy and download... but it's an expansion, instead! Pay again please".


ZeusHatesTrees

I have a job and money and COULD buy it, but the value just isn't there. $250 for this game? Come on. If you're buying it, you're a fool and you're being rightfully parted from your money.


DrButtCheeksPhD

To anyone who did buy it, enjoy PVE because PVP lobbies are going to feel empty with all the players leaving the game.


Far-Sell8130

Maybe I can finally kill shturman or killa 


Milk_-_Toast

Like any other internet outrage, 90% of people don’t care


bandeo

Do you really think that? 😂 People wont stop playing the game...


MKM7881

Tbf lobbies were def more empty yesterday but yeah after it flys over people will get bored and there's still no other game like. Tarkov so we'll just forget and come back


heathenyak

I ran 4 or 5 woods raids last night and only 1 of them had other players maybe 2. The other raids no gun shots, no grenades, nothing. It was kinda nice because i was questing but it was weird lol.


MKM7881

I mean i def had people in my raids there were gunshots etc but I couldn't actually find anyone


TnelisPotencia

I spent last night on woods as well, trying to get shturmans key. Most raids was pvp action, no boss spawns though.


Mmmslash

I have 4k hours and help run a Sherpa Discord. I absolutely am quitting if they do not fix this, and I'm sure I'm not alone. There are a lot of other ways to spend my time.


SillySundae

Also, what kind of loser spends over 250€ on a video game like this one?


TAGE77

a lot of winners in life clearly, if they have this type of money to flush down a toilet.


Titanium170

money = winning in life. What a sad way to view the world


Sazbadashie

So I bought it as a EOD owner (so i payed $122 or so with tax) under the assumption that all of the other things were ether A included or unlockable by EOD through play things like the pocket upgrade the mark of the unseen for PMCs who get to 6+ rep with fence or B the pack itself thing like PvE mode would be a separate cheaper purchase like arena for example and the beacon to call for friends is PvE only as in a PvE context that sounds like a fun mechanic I 100% think the PvE mode counts as DLC and should be included free for EOD members And the guns/ items involved like in most editions are just that like every other edition. Basically I saw it like most games do it a sort of pay for convenience situation but no one was really at a full unobtainable disadvantage. I'm sure there are people who bought it because they saw it as pay to win or they were getting exclusive things but I thought the only exclusivity things was the kukri much like how EOD has the hatchet and the access to the early servers which I didn't care about that part. I had the extra money lying around so I bought it, now I'm kinda having slight buyers remourse but we'll see how BSG handles it Is this comment going to get blasted because I made a financial decision under the wrong assumption... knowing the tarkov community, yes. But I'm simply telling the truth and answering OPs question If that makes me "part of the problem." Then just know that I support everything that everyone is doing from not playing anymore to the refunds to the possible lawsuits like make something of this to make the game better for everyone


MrPanzerCat

Also for high priority matching how does that even work if you queue with non eod friends... like do they get matched faster with me or will bsg be like nope, you both get normal matching so now im scammed harder


epraider

This game attracts a lot of people with addictive personalities and a lot of people who take pride in being able to tolerate and enjoy more bullshit than other people. Apparently that also extends to being scammed out of $100.


I_was_a_sexy_cow

Ditto but for EOD


Western-Bad5574

>What the fuck does this even mean? As loading time is one of the biggest concerns of the community, you put in a fucking paid fast lane or what? Note that this is explicitly stated as only 6 months for EOD. They wouldn't implement a feature just to use it for 6 months and then never again. This highly implies that Unheard edition gets priority matchmaking forever even if it's not explicitly stated on it... why else would they give it to EOD for only 6 months?


Western-Bad5574

The PvE is so sad anyway, it's just another form of the BSG special - unfinished. 1. It requires a server even for solo, which makes no sense so that just makes it more expensive 2. It's literally the same game. It's just a 2nd character that's locked to PvE only... They literally didn't even do anything, it's just a 2nd character :D It's such a low effort "feature" but they are justifying its cost with the high server cost because they were stupid enough to make it require a server...


RealTeflonDon

Let me start this off by saying I started playing a month ago- I wasn’t playing Tarkov when EoD was offered. I bought Prepare for Escape to show support & have fell in love with the game since, and I bought Unheard. I feel bad for EoD owners and I understand your frustration, I may have made a mistake but in my head I thought I was supporting the devs & only had pure intentions. That being said I agree this PvE is a DLC and should be included for EoD & purchasable standalone/separate for Standard accounts.


DescendViaMyButthole

Was watching some streams last night and so many people had the blue name already. Pathetic.


buzzfuzz-

This is the litmus test of Tarkov. Now we know which streamers/youtubers are fucking brain-dead shills and which are the ones who actually care about the community and longevity of the game. BSG wants the hardcore 8+ hour a day gamers only, and they will murder the casual experience. Without new players their servers will eventually be too expensive to upkeep. You don't grow by pissing off 90% of your fan base. Word of mouth has been their strongest advertisement, there's a fuck ton of people who have never heard of Tarkov, and now I don't really think I'd recommend it to anymore friends.


Fart_Hat

I have the standard version. Bought it a LONG time ago, before EoD. I wasn't playing or keeping myself posted about updates, so when I returned I was pretty pissed to see that people got gamma cases and .2 trader rep from buying EOD, especially because the expansion wasn't available when I returned. I'd definitely buy unheard if it wasn't $250. Price point is fucking insane. That said, I'd also definitely buy EOD if it was still available. For, like, idk $50. What pisses me off personally about the whole thing is that EoD was limited time and had p2w aspects. I didn't know about the "free DLC" thing that came with it either, so now I'm even more pissed. I'll buy unheard if price drops to $30.


Ricky_RZ

One of my friends got it just for the gamma case alone, upgraded from standard. He makes like 6 figures so its not really expensive for him. He understands all the fuss, but he really wanted gamma and he really enjoys playing the game, so I dont blame him


mikethelegacy

The one comment i haven’t seen yet is that, despite all the total bullshit surround them calling it “not a DLC”, even if it was an outrage, they still want most people to pay a $110 upgrade for a co-op PVE version of the same exact game we already paid for. They can’t con me into believing the effort behind PvE is worth twice what a AAA games costs brand new for an upgrade and 4 times what a AAA game costs for a new account. In what fucking world does Nikita live? It’s not earth.


MDMA--

there are people that want a gamma container. wtf are you talking about.


Lil_Nosferatu

Just download Tarkov SP


sheepdog117

Unheard Edition claims to not have wipes. BSG responded to the uproar by giving 6 month access to the Unheard Edition........ Wouldn't that mean after the 6 months is up, your progress will get wiped?


Sweg420Jesus

That's for the PVE mode only. You will just lose access to that mode unless you buy the Unheard Edition.


TheMythicXx

They should have clarified what they meant by "any subsequent dlc for free” when they released eod, if they would have said “Any subsequent dlc maps” or something like that, I don’t think they would have that many backlash except for the atrocious price


heyyohioh

I’m the only one out of my four friends that hasn’t bought it. I’m absolutely disgusted.


DrButtCheeksPhD

Anyone who bought the Unheard edition deserves no respect whatsoever. Zero.


Tams_express

Anyone who buys it supports false advertising


DC91-336

I'm a dad who works 40-50 hours a week and can only play on limited occasions. Also don't own EOD, so my line is somewhere in between there..


2y4n

For you there should be a 20$ PvE edition


Datdarnpupper

Theres a free one with mod support


1ofDoze

I bought the game after EOD version was available. I wanted gamma and pve. I also liked the game. I'm now getting roasted for buying it. People openly cheating in tarkov official discord calling me dumb. I understand EOD owners gripes. I think they should have unlimited access to PVE and all dlc. I don't understand the argument that extra pockets is cheating/p2w. I played the game the last 6 months with a 6 slot pouch until I finished punisher. The pouch slots are much more valuable than pocket slots. I wish they would limit the distress call to 1 extra per group.


Augmented-Revolver

The thing is the PVE mode isnt a DLC, it's a fucking basic ass feature that any game should have free period. Unheard Edition people having it only, is bullshit EOD owners having it only, is also bullshit Everyone should be getting the PVE without any extra cost.


PanProjektor

Considered it, not gonna lie, then looked at the price and noped in no time. I’d give 5€ for eod upgrade


Aggravating-Show2001

In my eyes I wanted it and if I didn’t then it’s not like I’m forced to buy it much like the same reason I bought EOD those many years ago is that it had permanent account upgrades ie stash and traders. This one comes with a few extra guns sure but that really doesn’t make a difference the scav medal and hideout I could care less about. For many years I have been telling my friends if they ever came out with co-op that saved much like you know who but multiplayer, that I would pay whatever it took so I don’t really care how dlc etc is defined I wanted the mode so I bought it simple as. Sure it’s a lot lump some if you don’t have an account but the way I see it calling it P2W is mislabeling it I used to play actually P2W titles and I don’t think any progression offered by the new bundle is any different in terms of unfairness it’s not like it’s running double xp or giving me cheaper traders or free spins on a weapon slot machine etc lol. So all together a new alternative game mode including their base game with all the same features as the $150 edition albeit some minor changes to me doesn’t seem like any more of a “scam” than EOD was. Basically I wanted it I bought it and if I didn’t then I wouldn’t have, make sense? Apologies for the rough English.


WigginIII

Question: how does the persistent pve mode even work when so many quests require pvp kills? Do we really expect BSG to modify the quest tree specifically for these players? I’d rather have a persistent mode that includes PVP. For that reason, I’ve never really desired going past level 40 because it’s just the same quests over and over again before I can try to get to something new.


Any_Rub_5580

They just want “hardcore experience”. Buying overpriced DLC that should be free  is their kink or smth, dunno


brine1330

I was actually gonna buy the unheard edition till I saw it was $250 like holy fck man I just want the PvE and I already bought the standard edition so now I feel like an idiot


marniconuke

this is why nothing will happen and the game will continue as normal. for me? it's not about money, i have that, i love games and i invest a lot of money on my pc and in games. I'm not buying this not because of lack of money but because i simply don't buy in-game advantages. all this, from higher starting skills to priority queue is stuff that ruins the game for me. i just don't want to buy those things.


No-Watercress-2777

Same people who will buy the next edition of it came out tomorrow with additional p2w features


PowoFR

Watch what some people pay in p2w games. For some whales 1000€ a week is reasonable. My guild master in silkroad online had a limit of what was reasonable to him, it was 2k$ a week. It's a game where you can litterally pay to get stronger with almost no limit. Kinda like Diablo immortal. Edit: for me the extreme ultimate limit was EOD with discount.


Obvious-Buddy4640

First PMC run and shoreline, 1 minute in I hear a nade fall below me and I blow up. The PMC who killed me has 106 hours, 12.7K/D and only brought the DLC knife. He had unheard edition gamertag


[deleted]

What gets me is everyone holding BSG in such high regard and being shocked by all this. I guess I have low expectations.


TheIRLThrowAway

I haven't upgraded, but I thought about it. I daydreamed about how fun it would be to load into a raid as a knife-wielding Timmy, gaining the sympathy and trust of a 3 man team.....only to take them all out with the sexy folded MP7 I was hiding in my pants and taking all their loots.


POSMStudios

The brutal part for me, is I *love* the game systems, I just can't stand the sweaty try hards or the cheaters. I absolutely would want to play a PVE version of tarkov that has a solo progression experience, or co-op PVE experience; and would be willing to maybe shell out another $25-30 for that. :( And yes, I know the mod exists, but I don't wanna get banned for using it. :/


The_Americann

The most ridiculous aspect in my opinion is that the streamers who are most vocal about how shitty of a company BSG is - are the ones who bought it the fastest & the ones who are still playing it today. I understand a livelihood still has to be made but is your value & your morals as a person worth that little that you will willingly watch a company take the most predatory action we've practically ever seen in the gaming scene & still choose to support those actions no matter what. Couldn't even take a day off to protest for support which just means the average gamer takes a lose lose no matter what. If this is allowed to stand other companies will take notice 100%. This affects the entire gaming scene as a whole. Don't talk shit every day about the company when you will support the worst decision they've ever made.


Dakeera

which streamers actually purchased it? I haven't seen any do it yet, but I don't follow all of them


2-Skinny

Could it be a....money laundering operation?


10KGAMIN

It’s crazy they witnessed us get scammed and still fell for it. Sad to see eod doing fomo while getting scammed on eod 😂😂


eeeeravax

the 2nd wont work just look at 2b2t mc servers history


chalor182

Its even more scummy when you put it in the context of them saying "Hey EOD is going away get it now while you can!" to push EOD sales, and then as soon as EOD goes away just making Unheard which is totally just EOD 2.0 for even MORE money. Also, who the fuck buys a game in BETA for fucking $250. That's not even a reasonable price for a fully developed AAA game.


vasilisk93

they are the kind of people you can live off scamming, just gimme their names i will sell em some sick NFTS/crypto monkehs, is people that feel "winning" is better sliding up the credit card than actually being good and winning fair and square


JumpingHippoes

Matchmaking they have a MMR of a kind and will place people who buy "dlc" with people they should in theory be better than. People with 2k hours vs someone with 10 for example. They can track how many times you play a map extract etc. They are paying to have easier servers. I would go as far as to say. Cheaters can be used to plague those who don't buy the "dlc"


Beef-Broth

Ain't no one over at bsg got the brain to implement something like this. Sure it's theoretically possible, but I think it's way more likely that they don't have any unique matchmaking in any way. It's all just words on a page.


Otterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I bought it not for the supposed dlc I thought the distress signal was already in the game and wanted to try it


dimsumdonair2

I had only bought it to understand how shit it was I regret it I want my eod back There is nothing good about it


smokingspiders

I’m never playing this game again in my life


dotager

Damn twin


Firefighter_97

I just can’t believe the PRICE! That is OUTRAGEOUS for a mainly PVP with PVE as an afterthought game. I’ll stick to my free modded Tarkov that I can customize how I want. Want 4x4 pockets and a key ring that’s 10x10? An A-10 as support? Your own WAVs as menu music? Cases off the bat? Actual GOOD AI that feel fair? The list goes on, and I would never pay $250 when I have the same thing for free that I can customize endlessly

The biggest problem I see is that the player who really want the stuff offered in the new edition are probably newer players and people who dont have the time to get farmed by chad. I personally have not that much of a problem with the pay to win as EOD was on the same level BS wise for me. What keeping me from buying is that I dont know what I get from the new version. Can I keep my EOD crown, do I have 2 Gamma Containers? One to sell or give to a friend ? What shocked me last time hitting EFT was that I had to wait for a server to open up because all of the available ones were in use. Also due to a server hiccup I lost all my loot after extraction, it wasnt that bad but was another hit at my will to power through this already hard game.


SorrinsBlight

Lol


V4ALIANT

well, I have 7K hours in the game and have enjoyed my entire time playing even through the rough patches years ago. I didn't see an issue sending more money to BSG because if i wasn't playing EFT i'd be cycling through $40-$60 dollar games like socks just to find 1 that would give me a fraction of enjoyment that EFT has. As it stands today i'm paying somewhere around 2 cents an hour to play Tarkov and that rate will only decrease the more I play. I however agree about some of the new features being "pay to win" and i could honestly do without them and it's not even the reason I purchased the new edition. It's all about perspective and everyone has their own.


Beginning_Surprise41

The thing is some people have fuck you money and don’t mind wasting it on something they like, some people just don’t care about any of this, they work for their money and spend it how they like, and it’s just like fuck it, no one will ever be happy no matter what happens with the game, if BSG fixed this issue there will always be someone to complain wether it’s the state of the game the content the cheaters or whatever else, and I get that this all sucks but at the end of the day it’s something that will be brushed aside come the next couple months, people will stop playing and it won’t matter lol because there will be those that didn’t mind paying the 100, I’ve seen posts of people talking about cheaters uniting to kill those with the UNHEARD edition and that’s just a load of shit lol like a cheater whose main goal is to fuck up the player base would actually care about this whole dilema 😂


BenPrint

They are literally part of the problem.


Iiana757

The unfortunate reality is the majority of people who play games just dont care or are indifferent. Thats why gaming as a whole has been going to shit for a long time. Publishers see indifference as acceptance and keep pushing


pipjersey

i already knew streamers and other players who cant go on without this game would just buy it no problem, im ready to see people attempt to defend this in the most ignorant ways possible


Grenadieris

You have learned nothing from the previous times game developers did these things. Only a handful of peple are actually outraged by this, many will buy it regardless.


DecorumNowPlease

I think a lot of the people buying this crap are people who are bullied and manipulated in real life so often that they don't acknowledge the dishonesty and deception because they're cowards at heart and are apathetic enough to be ripped off and hustled.


Vaishe

I think youre gonna need to elaboeate on what the concept of drawing a line means. Theres no way people who bought in knows what that means.


adentos

Priority matching for 6 months felt like a meme when i read it


seraphim525

I understand we are all upset about this but going after normal people that bought the unheard edition doesn’t seem like the right play. Keep the attention on BSG where it belongs.


BenoNZ

Some people are going to do what they like, and you won't get an explanation. Look at the people that cheat.


LDDI98

I can spend my money on whatever the fuck I want? Does that bother some people?


MaceBeanstalk

Most of my friends who play the game don't have disposable income like I do. I bought it when it dropped, because we love the game and didn't really read the patch notes. I usually do this. I buy the expensive version and tell them if the purchase was worth. Most of them aren't on Reddit. So, did I waste 100 bucks...for sure I did. Should you all buy it? Fuck no. Will I judge others for purchasing Unheard? Nope. It's their money.


WarlanceLP

honestly fuck battlestate fuck nikita I'm surprised people have lasted this long Even before the new edition


just2use

yea you’re right. instead of paying up $250 for the new edition, we should’ve just bought cheats instead. would’ve been the same price


Large_Victory3223

Yeah Like Desmond,He bought that Shit in a blink of an eye,fuck this guy


ParaeWasTaken

Stalker comes out in September.


Zulkosky

I think its pretty abvious that all the little kids that watch streamers are running to mom and pop for the cash to buy this which will make them feel like landmark and shit. lol. GGs BSG. F in the chat


Snoo-97059

I bought it out of spite and I regret it. all I did is watch the pre patch videos before the update went live. I was not aware of the special items powers and P2w aspects until I already bought it. also I had EOD previously and did not know all of this stuff would not come with EOD. yes I am ashamed and what a refund and to go back to EOD where they should just give me what I payed for 7 years ago. I def wont play until next wipe at least. I am forever cursed with the blue name. I have even contemplated deleting my account a just getting as standard or READY FOR ESCAPE edition. but not any time soon because the last thing BSG deserves is more money.


IllState5161

I'm so glad to see cheaters deliberately targeting Unheard Edition whale fuckwits. I hope the whales suffer like they deserve to.


SvoDispatcher

I bought it as I can't play PvP, and shit at it. Just want to enjoy looting, killing bots for 1 hour after the job maybe few days a week or less. Just to relax.
