traders are insane

[Masamune27858]

ive worked for weeks so much time to unlock level 2 of one shop, the gun shop, and it barely unlocks anthing, and the next trader level is twice as much, thats insane devs. your locking half the content away from people who will never see it and quit, like me sadly. i dont see a point in putting 40 plus more hours to unlock stuff i already have seen. i mean the backpack with the gun slot i didnt even know existed until 5 minutes ago, i was like hell yea at first.
that was for 25000 rep. now i need 75000 rep
Insanity.
also knifes sheaths are bugged, wrist are bugged and your left wrist rotates a few degrees, so you have to click motion smoothing EVERY time you start game and get back home. theres also rounds not showing up in ammo, or empty clips showing ammo, and ammo despenser not filling mags. all of it i could deal with except the traders.
They should be hard to buy, not hard to access.

nothing devs?

Agreed. Esp if you're going to wipe every few months. I don't mind a gear reset...but trader level I barely got to 3 (started on two with dlc) before the wipe on minty and spectre...didn't even pretend the other ones were doable...and that was with a few months work break which I may never have again...so working and adulting means I'll prob never even get back to 3, let alone 5. This is sad bc the player base won't grow from this, loyal people will have to leave. I'll never get the never wipe room either. We can't be alone...I put 70+ hours in between the two wipes, that's triple what Id normally be able to do over a few months. I'm lucky to get 5 hrs a week now, and being stuck in tier two is very meh. Correct, cost can be high, but why access....why punish humans w lives from fully enjoying this great game.

+ on this its not a job.

It takes weeks? Or you can just buy the p2w edition for 15 dollars and start with level 2? Yeah I'm starting to think this game doesn't deserve me giving it a second chance.

Completely agree with all of the above. This is primarily a VR product, people mostly come here for 1-2 hours a couple of times a week. The first 10 hours are interesting, but then it turns into work, there is no progress. I would like to hear the response of the developers about this. Maybe it's worth starting an action to lower the rating? I know a lot of people who have the game but don't play it.

[buttmunch]

Its definitely one of my gripes. I know there are people who will grind out levels in the most efficient manner possible and level up quickly. However, I'm not one of those people. I play for fun and trying to maximize XP isn't fun for me.

Pre wipe it took me about 40 hours to unlock lv2 spectre. I could do it a bit faster now. It would still take me months to unlock lv 4 and I doubt I'd ever unlock lv5 before another wipe. Thats for one trader only.

Maybe there are some addicts here who play 6+ hours a day. However, most users spend far less time than that in VR.

[Indy1680]

Ya, the devs haven't considered any of this. They have made an excellent VR experience, but are very single minded in their pursuit of tarkov vr...a flat screen game. People notoriously play their life away on flat, not VR....its a medium that demands a lot for more than an hour or two tops. I'll never sniff level 4 or 5, that's fine...but 3 is essential to even getting decent kits...and last time I grinded for 80 hrs and made it on spectre and minty 1 week before wipe....BFD...that's useless. And then the whole thing honestly gets cheapened when they give us all 10 mil and unlimited...like...ok. I want to earn, but damn. If you can't kill 3-5 ghosts per raid it's tough to level via Fenix. I kill typically 3-5 players per play session, usually over 3 raids...two silo 1 island. That doesn't add up at all. As a developer, know your full audience and more importantly....THE PLATFORM. Unless you're proud of the sub 12 yr old player base😳👀 that hurl racial slurs...I've been called a jew and an N word 10 times now by little kids...killed all of them🤣 but still. Weirdest part...I'm a white dude...so they just say it to everyone...making them racist and dumb.🧐😉

Yeah.... I agree its insane to the point that I am still grinding to get to level 1 like I know they said it was gonna be hard but this isnt hard its more annoying if anything. I guess the good part is you can find most of the weapons in raid.

I agree that as you've all said it is crazy, but on the other hand the devs have said they intend on adding all kinds of crafting stations. With these you could build anything basically, at least to my understanding. As a game it is also still in early access so there are bound to be some things that are a little off.

Some of the proposed features sound great, but the game still suffers many bugs for many months with basic parts of the game. The more features they add the more bugs they add.

I beginning to understand why so many games are in EA for 5+ years.

guess they copied too much from tarkov. Tarkov is p2w too

[JimmyTheSaltyMelon]

exactly why i have stayed away from this product noob devs

[Masamune27858]

man thats sad, hate to see it. the games fun, but locking out so much content for everyday gamers is nuts

[meowmers]

there are non-combat quests that give 10000xp. DLC includes 1 trader level. There are really only 2 traders that matter right now and you only have to get to lvl 3 for one of them.
