Hello, Tarkov citizens!

To honor the owners of the EOD version and their indelible importance and role in the EFT universe, we plan to add the following new unique features to the EOD edition:

Faster return of insured items
Increased personal trader buying limits by 20%
Increased basic PMC karma (when it will be implemented)
Access to unique hideout craft
Increased basic charisma skill
Special quest line with increased pockets side as a reward
Ability to skip 2 daily quests per day free of charge
Unique dog tag
Unique armband
Unique set of clothing
Unique “Legacy” device
High priority matching for EOD owners for 6 months
Access to offline PVE for EOD owners for 6 months

We will provide those changes and additions as fast as possible.

Temporary access to PVE will be provided as soon as we will reinforce server infrastructure of that particular gamemode for a wider audience, because we use totally different servers for that and now there is a really limited amount of them.

Thank you!

Take care,

dev team

Nikita, with all due respect, next time just tell us to f off.

You heard only a quarter of the issue.

The problem with the new editions are as follows:

Backpedaling on your word to release all new DLC (defined per dictionary.com[1] as **downloadable content:** additional content that can be purchased online and added on to a video game, as to enhance its features) to EOD owners (especially when you set the precedent with EOD as including other modes (which is a precedent in itself, it's expected) but removed it from your site when the backlash started).
Making actual p2w items with no indication you want to make them earnable (I'm an EOD owner. In fact, I have *two* accounts I bought because I wanted to support BSG's creation of Tarkov and my hardcore account I made EOD) but the pockets and the radio should be earnable in game so as to not make such an advantage for players it could genuinely be considered P2W.
asking an *absurd* $250 for new players to get access to the first thing you guys have released that would help new players ease into the game.

The rest? I really don't care. I have no intention of buying this slap in the face, I can earn weapons cases and ammo cases and scav junk boxes and guns and whatever tf else. The melee is whatever. Had the new edition been a bunch of that, gamma, some extra stash space, some cosmetics, and maybe idfk a cat for the hideout, I *would not care*. Hell, I actually genuinely probably would've bought it. But this is such a scummy business move and blatant cash grab, I watched the middle finger go up as I saw the edition drop.

1: http://dictionary.com

What this move has done to the community:

First, we feel disrespected. You promised no P2W content. Gamma was always up for debate. That radio, there's no room for debate. It's P2W. You've lied to us, gone back on your word on *several* things with this edition ALONE, and tried to scam all of us.
Second, we all have a question in the back of our minds. Why? Is BSG going bankrupt and this is one final cash grab before it goes under? Do you really think your community is this stupid?
Third, it makes us wonder, how far are you really willing to go to make an extra buck? Will I see players with different attachments available from traders based on their edition? We already see the hideout craft you put in this post (not a good start!)? Will weapons have more favorable MOA, armor have more favorable durability, hitboxes have more favorable sizes, etc. etc. etc. based on edition? Just how far are you willing to try to go?

Fix it. Make everything earnable in game and give EOD players access to offline cooperative progression. Second, refund everyone who bought it a portion of their money and charge a reasonable amount for it (for example, charge at MOST an extra $40 for this). Do you really want to be remembered as that company who charged 6x what triple A devs charge for a game?

6 months? Still doesn't honour the fact that EoD purchasers did so on the pretext that we would receive "Free access to all subsequent DLCs (Season pass)".

Previous EoD advertising stated that this DLC included content "such as Arena", how is the PvE mode any different to this?

This is just more pay to win stuff not what we wanted, stop adding random pay 2 win features, monetize your game cosmetically if you're bleeding funds. Your game is great stop ruining it.

Explain why one of your web developers changed the text on what EoD included on the website today while watching Landmarks stream? What excuse do you have for trying that bait and switch?

This is what you promised:

"Free access to all subsequent DLCs (Season pass)"

This is not that:

Access to offline PVE for EOD owners for 6 months

edit: or did you mean "IN 6 months"? that would make some sense.

edit: you guys deserve this. you played a cheater and bot infested game for years. when i made topics here on reddit and posted a screenshot of someone putting 120 graphics cards in the flee market 2 days after a wipe people wrote "he just knows where to find them, woods is a good map if you know how to do it"

you accepted to be lied to, abused and spat on. this is exactly what you get. and the best part: in 3 weeks you will complain about some quest being bugged and nobody cares about this anymore, while people currently and in the future buy this edition for 250$ + taxes + fees.

welcome to the future of gaming that you created you betas.

so there is a "High priority matching for EOD"

are you telling me i am stuck in a 15 min queue every game on purpose only because i "only" paid 80$ for a beta game?
