Nikita can piss off if he thinks that EOD should only get 6 months. That just tells you that he knew he fucked up.

I bought the DLC, I didn't rent the DLC. Where is my DLC, Nikita?

Funny thing is 2-3 months ago on reddit Nikita said offline coop would be EOD only

I didn't realise bsg's tweet got community noted 💀

Nikita.B - EFT (head, eyes)

This is legit funny. They really thought they could just toss us some crumbs so we'd move on lol. The fucking nerve.

So, as A EOD you get a 6m trial version. Now i feel even worse. Thx BSG for your support

Temporary access to PvE is such a slap in the face

Special quest to get extra pockets is EOD only that's fuckin nuts why can't players with standard edition get it ? Things like that should be obtainable for everyone

I would have bought a battle pass or season pass if I knew it was gonna help. This unheard edition is dirty and they aren’t doing enough to fix this

If they really wanted money aid, they could literally ask for it like big warning into launcher: "we are in trouble we need financial aid to keep up and running, providing at least 10 euro or 20 euro will result in being given armband with theme of first respondent / first aid as a thank you for saving then game. that fkin pve could be sold for 20 euro and you could run on on ur either on ur pc (and just synchronize with servers afterwards) or on servers where you pay idk 5 euro a month for example and can play with friends (like renting a server on hosting). Also they could do fucking camo skins or themed skins (like cultist) on guns, there would be nothing bad about it. I dont get them. Who thought, these moves they did are a good idea.

don't forget that they changed unique gamma container for eod

this reddit post makes it IMO not better but worse... "high priority matching for EOD owners for 6 months" "access to offline PVE mode for EOD owners for 6 months" so they gonna let us play the offline mode for half a year, so we make characters, spend time in the mode, get attached to it and when the 6 months are over, many more players gonna say "well i rather upgrade now for 100 bucks plus taxes, otherwise all this time i spend in there is wasted... like i wouldnt mind paying another 30-40 bucks for the PVE mode if they told us: "bois, we need money for servers to run" but at the end, i dont want most of the things in the unheared edition. so having BSG expecting us to pay another 100 bucks, basically 2x the basegame price, is just insane and disrespectful...

BSG at least responded to the outcry. And they seemed to miss the entire point: 1. pay to win is bad 2. ALL DLC = ALL DLC

That high priority matching gives me a sick feeling in my stomach. That Thats actually a thing. They can select a category of people and give them priority

That's a textbook bait & switch _and_ a breach of your purchase contract - if you paid for unlimited, free upgrades & DLC then the devs need to honour that _OR_ offer a refund or other suitable alternative in compensation. I recommend people check out the consumer regulation laws in the UK if that's where the business is registered, because this seems like a pretty blatant breach of purchase contract & non-delivery of goods & services. You're entitled to what you paid for.

I didn't upgrade, I can afford it but I refuse to out of principal. Thank you for those that stood their ground and said "No" to this type of behaviour from developers.

bro this game is never going to be finished lmao

what bothers me the most is the priortiy matching this the first step in actual streamer servers, so i have to wait 10min+ on fresh wipe to get into lobbyies while streamers get in 2 min. Is this how they wanna split the community in either streamer or not

i payed eod to not pay more in the future and get all dlcs free. unfortunately i didnt pay for features i guees, god thank nikita i had not to pay for vaulting.

This is like patching a hole in a dam with scotch tape.

the biggest problem is you can summon other players like wtf lmao is this elden ring

I heard you mention an outfit that comes with the unheard edition, but its not on the list and theres no results when you google it?

Don’t let this make up for it guys we are still getting limited access to DLC we paid for and were promised upon buying EOD this is just to save face do not let them get away with this

While Landmark waws going over the website some one changed it as soon as landmark found it. that was so sad.

So what happens if you had eod and bought the newer edition. Do you still get the stuff for eod

An in-game tattoo is an effing great idea, unique to your PMC.

there are so many cosmetics they could do, skins for equipment (helmets, vests, and backpacks) they could add weapon charms, they could add custom reticles for holosights and reflexes, they could add stickers for your weapons, patches for your clothing. they also could open up a patreon or go fund me, you know how they could be printing money? $10k and you get your own ingame item (sort of like streamer items, drinks, valuables, gear etc.) they could add profile customization so you could have a banner. they could do calling cards so whenever someone kills you, you will see their calling card. they could do so much but it seems like they are just going to cashout

Priority matching for EOD users will mean even longer queue times for standard edition players? The players that probably have even less time to play the game to begin with? Also, the EOD users also receive pay-to-win benefits like increased trader access to good items as well as increased pocket size?

sooo they already have a system for priority matching? I wonder why they would make that in the first place....

The legacy device allows you to bring your friends into a raid midraid you invite friends with it and you can have a whole group of players join you midraid to help you i dont know if they popup next to you tho cuz that would be wild

Whats that RGB Bar in his background anybody know?

Thanks for quick Video Axel!

Bro tats I didn't even think about that. I was thinking they should have worked really hard to separate all the small things. Gloves, watches, shirts, jackets, pants, boots/shoes all separate all have a bunch of unique items from different militaries or brands or whatever and gun camos, attachment skins, all of that can be done and still feel in universe because of how many different camoflauge style and colors there are from all the different militaries of the world past and present. That way they have a monetization system similar to other games with all cosmetics.

i upgraded, but i wouldn’t mind if they sold for example quest completion on site

Increased pocket size is only going to be worth while early game. If I have to do a quest line to unlock big pockets, by the time a typical player completes all those quests they won't need the extra space because they'll be running rigs and armour anyway.

I just wonder when you will cave in to the TUE edition. I’ll sub just to see how long it takes

Shturman jacket would actually be pretty sweet.

We got scammed, but when the person buys the Unheard edition with EOD edition what happens to his ID ? Will the crown remain and will u get the contect from both the editions ? Cuz I think they didnt think about this. And its money grind

I've owned EoD since 2017. I upgraded... do I not get the extra 20% ammo from traders? Do I not get the clothing or armband? Thats wild.

OK so can I downgrade back to my EOD account so that I can get the EOD stuff. or will I get that as well because I was an EOD account holder?

Кста, по поводу скинчесов за донат. Те что "уникальные" два для каждой фракции, первые из них это отсылка на контракт варс. До переработанных (по факту перекрашенных) моделек они были одеты именно в такого цвета и формы одежду

if you have EoD and you brought the new version do you get both bonuses?

6:27 I was literally have that exact talk with my friends. If they want money, people will not hesitate to buy some badass looking skins. Maybe new character voices? Beards? Mustaches? Helmet reskins..? There is so many alternatives out there that would make them money. Just make a "STORE" page on the actual game so it's easily accessible to everyone. They would rack in so much money from that but instead they take option B which is to scam absolutely everyone and destroy their reputation in a day.

this task line for the pockets , is this per wipe or a 1 off task line to complete but still total bs tho

I have EOD and don't care about access to PVE. But I'm really concerned about all p2w stuff listed in new edition. Everything should be obtainable by players with all editions.

The reason i bought the DLC was the stash space lol. But yea, the all future DLC still stands.

Mad respect for not buying it and holding that stance.

quick typed this out so fast while he was on the toilet , he couldn't even spell pocket SIZE correctly

I look forward to being apart of the class action suit.

why not all the community to make skins for the game. think how many different spec ops units are in the world. I would love to use a snow SAS camo outfit or a desert Delta force

BSG should refund all our purchases after 6 months. They only have "temporary" access to my money while they give me "temporary" access to the things they promised me when i made my purchase.

The 'quest' to get the pockets should also not be time-locked e.g. it should be a level 1 quest straight from the start, with minimal effort e.g. get 1 PMC kill and 5 scav kills or something. Otherwise it's still useless if it's locked behind level 20 or 30 since you need the pockets from the very start at level 1 most, and need it much less at higher levels (still very nice at high levels, but not as nice as low levels which are absolutely critical)

Axel I had a Question but nobody still ANswered me anywhere .... So, if this Unheard edition is not an DLC, so does that mean their owners will play on different servers among themselves without contesting with us ...if there is not such servers so why this is not DLC ...because the things giving for those money are not COMPETETIVE anymore is pay to win advantage...

well if not even eod or unheard gets infnite high priority queue theres gonna be another edition

nothing like a good slap to the face 6 months only what a shame i have loved this game for so long i invested in so much for me and the kids that play tarkov yet here we are needing to spend another 140 to 150 bucks cad just to get what was promised in the first one and now we only get 6 months for each what a pain

How come it's not letting me leave my thoughts in the description below?!

how are standard account supposed to compete with the EOD acount now...

Great, so with anything below EOD we are stuck in low priority matching unless we pay like 250 bucks for that ridiculous Unheard Edition? Nikita must be chronically drunk

I totally agree instead of doing this kind of scams and totally losing our loyalty. They can take our money buy cosmetics, skins. I would also buy

They gotta do more.

i feel like nakita meant eod for owners who have had eod for more than 6 months......................maybe im wrong!

Maybe made a prime or season pass idk, it's okay to pay 10 byt month for access to prenioum matching (with good anticheat - time queu reduce, idk) but cmon not p2w

They should have added this to eod then make a new same eod version at $180 with the same container but different skin for anyone that missed out eod

The fact that unheard edition gets m80 and an SR-25 at beginning of wipe is stupidly broken

I'm right there with you on the Pockets point Axel. Everyone should have the change to earn them. And these 6 months things are also very confusing and unnecessary. Either give it to people permanently (pve) or offer it to everyone as a single purchase option for a reasonable price. I don't know if Nikita himself approved the whole thing or someone else convinced him that it was a good decision. But there was far too much focus on the profit margin than on the good relationship between player and developer.

Rolling back Unheard really is the only way to fix this. Get rid of the pay to win features and give the rest of the stuff to EOD.

The free DLC's are stated to be at full 1.0 game release on the website. I guess we're still in "beta" so we have no comeback.

There is only one acceptable solution. Give everything from the Unheard Edition to EoD Owners and give Unheard Owners Arena. anything else (even reducing the price for the upgrade to one CENT) is not discussable and unacceptable.

I would love to see actual tarkov competition but nothing on the horizon is coming close

I have alot if respect for you sticking to your guns and staying with EOD, this change is like putting a plaster over a leak. Its a temporary patch that doesnt stop the leaking and will gather more and more community resentment if it stays like this

Pretty sure if EOD users got the same stuff as the unheard edition, we would be happy. At this point, they may as well just do that and save face while they can before they dig further into the ground and bring the unheard edition price range down to around what EOD was.

What about our unique secure container? Its not unique anymore now the new edition gets it, they edited the page for it to remove the word after the new release.

Kinda the last straw for me, I doubt I'll come back next wipe.

The only thing I am salty is the priority queue. This is a huge pain with Tarkov, and knowing that as a EOD gamer, I will not have access to priority queue pisses me off. If I knew it I would have stayed with standard account because I do not care about the stash space, I do not care about the gear and the gamma container either. But I bought EOD to support the game I love, and today, I kinda regret it.

It sucks that the PvE mode is locked behind a special edition of EoT, I'm interested in the game for it's mechanics but I don't want the PvP, when I saw The Unheard Ediiton at first I was excited but I don't get why it has to be sold as a premium edition.

I haven't payed much attention to the on-going situation, but I've been an avid Tarkov player for 4 years now. I currently don't have available to me what specifically EoD edition gave, but it always seemed to me like it was a "supporter" tier upgrade, where you could support BSG by giving them money for additional bonuses. Sure, BSG did state it came with future DLC for free and whatnot. And we've gotten Arena for free and that's an entire game mode! There's still the other originally planned DLC coming that we're still getting no? Again, not payed much attention to this and I do agree that the way BSG is handling this is wrong and I dislike that unique gameplay function the unheard edition gets, nothing gameplay altering should be locked behind a paywall. But I don't see why people are complaining about the offline co-op. As per BSG's site, you can literally get the Co-op upgrade for 10€ regardless of what edition you currently have. I have played this game for 4 years now, and gotten my moneys worth of entertainment. I'm not going to buy the unheard edition simply because of how pricey it is (considering I've all ready given them $150 for EoD), but despite this I'm more then willing to pay a 5-10$ subscription to play a game I like on a monthly basis. And if I was interested in the PvE mode, I'd easily pay 10€ for that. You don't need the unheard edition to get access to it. So even if 6 months doesn't seem like much, it's enough for you to try it out and if you dislike it? Just don't pay 10 dollars for it. I know BSG has been very scummy with their promises (or lack thereof) lately, and the way they are trying to get more 'financial support' is just done in such a backwards way. But I do understand the need to generate revenue, but this is clearly not the right direction to take.

i saw/know of almost no streamers (at least that i follow) who bought this ... and that makes me insanely happy

Only reason I bought eod is because I was promised everything henceforth from purchase I even have the original email from 2017 still.

I don’t understand how when I started playing Tarkov. I understood the quality of the games the fact that the game probably requires money to make. So I after just a week of playing on standard to see if I enjoyed the game jumped to buy EOD strictly to indoctrinate myself in BSG to show I care about the development of the game. And as a reward we EOD got access to all dlc’s all future updates as we were the ones who allowed it to happen, we worked to pay the price to allow a video game to make content. And now we get stabbed in the back. I’m glad they’re continuing working on the game. But they’ve taken a step to far, I did the same thing for dark and darker. I stepped in and payed the full price for the game to allow the game to develop more. And they’re doing just that and making a fantastic game. They care about the. Community. They listen and fix things so fast and update based on what the player base wants. I didn’t spend excess money just to be treated like I didn’t have a stake in the game. I know it sounds ignorant but all eod accounts like it or not payed the ultimate price on their time and purchase to assist BSG in a way. That’s how I see it anyways.. we played the game through rough patches and broken aspects. And it’s been fun. But now adding yet another price point has me concerned the game isn’t about making a great game anymore.

Add a black pmc and British pmc voicelines for like $5 each and they'd sell tons. But they just to decided to all out

Imagine all the potential players that would play EFT if there was a single player/coop mode in the game, but its behind a 250$ paywall...thats insane. Every game comes with a single player/coop mode/campaign but BSG does not and now its available at a very very high price. To put that into perspective, there is not a game in the history of gaming that came without a singleplayer and above all its locked behind a special edition at that cost.

the fact that scare the most is that the more you spend the more unique features you have in game, i know it also happened with EOD and gamma but you could still get epsylon and eventually kappa so the EOD just gave you the possibility to skip a lot of annoying stuffs like the small stash, grinding more for traders, small early wipe pouch but that you could still overcome as a standard edition player. Now they are just telling us that the more you spend on the game the more stuff you will have access too, truly disgusting

I am with you 100%. That and modest gun skins would print them money.

so we spent what kuje 180$ or something for every future DLC and the limtied stuff from EOD and they are limiting the stuff we get and we didnt even get the clothing they added for free or the stash slots which i also think is kinda dumb but idk just me like yeah its not a DLC but hte clothing has literally been in the game and its not new

Nice video and message. Its a shame Nikkita is doing this to the veterans who support the game from the start

Lmao BSG has shifted entirely from passionate game dev to money hungry business. "yeah yeah we're selling out BUT because you cried loud enough we're going to postpone the selling out until 6 months from now"

If they did cosmetics and hideout aesthetics as addons for purchase they would make money with compromising their initial promise or adding pay to win benefits in a “realism” focused game.

Honestly they should've made the EOD accounts the unheard version, and then what eod is currently should be the unheard edition.

the fees and everything to just refund it no that would be stupid to do right now

It has become abundantly clear that BSG is experiencing some financial difficulties. This is due to the unpopular game mode 'Arena' and the removal of the best package edition 'EOD'. As a result, they are scrambling for funds. Axel, I completely agree with you. I wish that BSG had invested some time in skins and clothing. As an EOD owner, I am not upset or angry, but rather frustrated."

6:46 its because they dont have the recources to create a bunch of cosmetics. This was a quick cash grab that involved not much dev time. The new additions are really not that hard to make

No apology either, what a life

I feel if the flare for calling your whole friends list to save you mid fight and the item that makes scavs not target you from over 60m wouldn't have been a thing, and the PVE mode given to everyone , this wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Idk how they don't count an entire new mode as DLC but yet count Arena which is literally that. Then they went and doubled down on everything on social media, watched Lvndmark's stream, and actively edited the wording on the website for EoD to remove words like "Unique" and the segment about Area and future DLC from it (I was there and in Lvndmark's vod you can see someone gift BSG a sub because they were in the stream and then all of the website changes happened.). That just makes you look terrible and like you're acknowledging what you did by trying to cover your tracks. I have 2 timmy friends that have already bought it and it kills me but I suppose since they are new and haven't played for the past eon, they don't feel as strongly as the rest of us about all of this or understand. Sigh, I'll prob end up still playing like Tony also said until something else comes along but man is this shit frustrating.

As much as I love tarkov and would love to support their game by upgrading to the new edition. This sort of move will set a precedent for how they decide to monetize the game. What is to stop them from releasing another edition that supersedes the Unheard edition?

See this is where I gets so muddy in my opinion. So for example, you buy EOD, then upgrade, should you also get some of these perks? Because now you’ve technically bought both at some point and you aren’t getting the other stuff you technically paid for to begin with? I know that sounds dumb but this is why they need to just stop releasing more versions. Like I know my friends that bought unheard are going to be pissed that they aren’t able to get the outfits and some of those features even though they spent more money on they game at this point. From their perspective it’s not about paying to win, but paying to support a game they love, but as an extension they aren’t going to get some of the features that the versions that cost less money are able to get? Idk it all just seems weird.

Bought EOD right before patch 12.0. I have avoided SPT in good faith that BSG would either add pve, or fix the broken aspects so pvp would be fun again. If they do not give me permanent access to pve progression I am dowloading SPT and Arena Breakout and never looking back.

if bsg need money they could just add pack of new voice command, or a cat for the hideout, new sets of clothing...

They could easily make a market of cosmetics the same way CS does, hats, armbands, guns even facial hair all with varying quality. As long as it's all within reason (maybe not fluro coloured anime skins) they could have an entire market around that and then take a small percent of the proceeds between each trade from players. I wouldn't even mind a battle pass of sorts at this point, anything is better than full on P2W shit that leaves loyal EOD buyers in the dust lmao.

nah axel a real one for this
