🚫 DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME! 🚫

[[UA] Forest Spirit]

I have played for quite a while during Seasons 1-2, and here’s what I have to say:

At first, everything seemed amazing!
✅ Fast loading times – Wow, faster than Tarkov!
✅ Smaller maps – No need to run through endless forests!
Bots don’t one-tap you in the head – Wait, they actually do!

But… once the game stopped feeling new, my account hit level 30+, and that’s when the nightmare began:

Major Issues of the Game
❌ It’s hard to make a profit unless you’re a pro player with a full squad of 4 friends.
❌ PAY-TO-WIN, PAY-TO-PLAY – this is where things get ridiculous! In Tarkov, you buy once and forget, but here, you have to pay every month for storage, camo, and literally everything! The pricing is insane – €200-300 for a storage container. If you don’t have a high salary, you literally cannot play without spending money.
❌ Developers only care about money – I received an in-game email: "Leave a review about the game!" I thought, "Nice, I’ll write about what can be improved." But no! The entire survey was about money! "How much are you willing to spend per month?" "What would you spend it on—camos or currency?" Not a single question about actual gameplay. Disgusting!
❌ Bugs take ages to fix – feels like a low-quality game.
❌ They promise one thing, but always release something paywalled.
❌ The game is flooded with cheaters, especially those with Chinese characters in their names.
❌ Even in hardcore modes, rare loot drop rates are abysmally low.

Gameplay Hell
🔻 You will die to campers in bushes, naked runners, thermal scopes, red ammo, and cheaters.
🔻 Constant reports if you play well – If you’re not a bot, you’ll get banned.
🔻 Rare loot is so rare that getting anything valuable feels like a miracle, but the market value is only 1.5 million (enough for 6 cheap gear sets or one thermal scope – which isn’t even enough!).
🔻 Players are constantly frustrated – I know several friends who deleted the game out of pure rage after another unfair match.
🔻 A top-tier player I know won 70-80% of the time, yet even he kept quitting due to cheaters and bush campers.
🔻 Your survival rate is around 30% at best, meaning out of three matches, only one will be profitable.

Why didn’t I quit earlier?
I love hardcore games. To survive, I spent hours studying tactics, crawling in stealth, and improving my skills.

Why did I quit?
☠ Once I started dominating (3-4+ kills per match), the reports started flooding in.
☠ Players got salty because I killed them in worse gear, and that was enough to get me banned.
☠ First, I got 1-day bans, then a 10-year hardware ban.
☠ I can’t create a new account, and my old, heavily invested account (worth over 60M in-game currency) is permanently gone.

🔴 I never used cheats!
After researching forums, I believe I was banned for using AutoHotkey, which I only used to rebind F1 and F2 keys (since I have a small keyboard, and the game doesn’t allow custom bindings).

☠ Another possible reason? Using advanced movement tricks – but everyone does that!
☠ Support is just bots who don’t care about evidence or fairness.

Final Verdict
🔥 I suffered, wasted time, tried to improve – lost everything.
🔥 Spent $1,200-1,400 over 1.5 years – got banned with no refunds.
🔥 Honest players can be banned for no reason – there’s no point in investing.
🔥 Thousands of negative reviews from people like me – no one ever gets unbanned.

👎 The game is built solely for monetization, developers don’t care about the community, and they ignore any suggestions to improve the game.
👎 No balance updates, no real fixes – only more ways to push microtransactions.
👎 If you gear up well, you’ll get wrecked by naked players. If you go in naked, you’ll get stomped by top-tier players.

Don’t make the same mistake I did.
🚫 Don’t waste your time. Don’t waste your nerves.
🚫 And most importantly – NEVER SPEND MONEY on this game.
🚫 I could’ve bought a new PC with what I wasted here.

The only way to "enjoy" this game? Sit in a bush for 30 minutes, wait for a target, loot, and run.

Is that good gameplay? A good game? No.

What does p2w consist of? Either you don't understand the terms, or you have issues with progression. If you pay real money, will you get better gear than me, who doesn't pay? No. If you pay, will you get a more accurate weapon than mine? No. If you pay, will you get an invisibility cloak? No. If you pay, will you find expensive items more often? No. So where's the p2w?

Can't players purchase in-game currency with real money?

They can, but where's the P2W? How can you, being a noob, beat a pro, even in good gear? A bunch of noobs go to white zone farming in T6, and I kill them. P2W implies that you get something for real money that a pro can't obtain, which gives you an advantage—so where's the P2W?

You’re whining in 2 threads, but even here, I wipe my boots on you. You haven’t brought a single argument—just shameless lies. Not one solid proof, every claim of yours got wrecked. I never said the devs are saints; I said YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE A SINGLE REAL ISSUE, NOT ONE VALID POINT OR ARGUMENT. 99% OF WHAT YOU WRITE IS FAKE!

I’m not defending the game—I’m defending common sense from you, a little Ukrainian nationalist and a former cheater. Whether you paid or not is irrelevant; you’re ruining the game with fake claims and your past cheating.

SO IF THERE ARE BUGS, CHEATERS, ALL THAT STUFF YOU CLAIM—BRING PROOF, NOT JUST PATHETIC B.S.! “Oh guys, everyone’s complaining, so many are unhappy—my friend played, didn’t like it, a billion people got banned, the game’s broken!” Yet not a single damn proof! You made it all up.

“The community faces crashes, disconnects, etc.” WHERE’S THE PROOF? WHY IS NO ONE BUT YOU, A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL, TALKING ABOUT IT? If your 404 country has game crashes and internet issues, that’s your and your state’s problem.

“Just look what players experience!” Wow, you shared a clip showing mechanics present in 99% of shooters. Shoulder-peeking? Big news! People knew this since Counter-Strike 1.6, but you’re just figuring it out? You got wrecked in the Russian thread too, and now here—crying to a Western audience. Pathetic.

🧠 muteallchat is one of those loud, toxic trolls who jumps into every thread just to pretend the game is flawless. According to this creature, there are no bugs, the devs are saints, and if you’re not enjoying the game — it’s your fault.

They defend the game like their life depends on it, mock anyone who reports real issues, and act like Arena Breakout is some divine masterpiece. And of course, they haven’t even spent a dollar on the game but will attack those who did.

This is the kind of person who claims there are no cheaters, no unfair bans, and no game-breaking bugs — while the community deals with daily crashes, disconnects, broken hit reg, and full armor getting shredded in seconds.

🎥 Just take a look for yourself at what players really experience:

Honestly… I just feel bad for people like this. They clearly crave attention — even if it’s only here, in a feedback thread.

Jesus.. Ive never seen a bigger crying kid on the internet. Hahaha.

I dont even experience 1 single thing you just wrote.
It really sounds like an skill issue and nowadays people like you just want an easy game to compensate their frustration IRL.
Youre one of these players who always cry for pve servers or for SBMM in cod and other shooters.
Imagine being that lazy and never improve your own skills. I bet at the end of the month youre eating noodles with ketchup, because you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job, because you want easy mode in life, but doesnt do anything for it.
And in 80% of the time people would also report me as a cheater, because I was a esl pro player back in 2015-2019 and play fps since 2004. I one tap many of them. It doesnt mean I cheat. Lol. You just call everyone a cheater and dont even watch the killcam, because you wont accept that your movement and positioning is trash. Iam 100% sure you act like that.

Just troll somewhere else.

[TheDizzyToast]

Sorry but you're saying don't play this game because you were banned. I disagree you must have been having hell of a lot of fun to spend over $1000. If they lifted your ban you would still be giving them money and you wouldn't be telling people to stop playing the game.

Correct me if I'm wrong

[DroFingerz]

I'll say this.. the player base definitely doesn't seem like one worth joining. Bunch of peacocking chads basically sayin "get g00d", completely ignoring valid points.. and getting real personal.. wtf? Some of y'all mentally ill.

The OP laid out many points that I've seen from many other people about this game.. it's why I don't play it anymore. It's not just this game though... The extraction shooter genre as a whole is riddled with cheaters.. every single game in this genre has the same problem, even a paid title like Tarkov.

Until one of these developers takes this issue seriously, no one is gonna want to pump hours and hours of their lives into one of these games just to lose it all to a wall-hacking aimbot. It's not worth it. Hopefully Marathon will have a good anti-cheat seeing as how it'll be the first extraction game made by a AAA developer (if you don't count DMZ), and we'll finally get a game in this genre that's worth a damn.

[bansheemarc]

Ok, bro. How many threads do you plan on creating ranting about the same thing? Are you doing ok?

[Homuya]

Lmao saying Tarkov wouldn't be P2W is beyond reasoning.

[RTX2060]

kid wichout proofs

[L1qu1dator]

Since it doesn't have PvE I won't be playing it anyway, but thanks regardless.
