Ok so I got in, paid the $100 and got in. Anyways fucking scary game and good concept except that you lose all of your shit upon dying, every time. So what happens when you run out of shit to bring in? Fist fight? So supposedly they will allow you to play as one of the scrubs or whatever, the NPCs, and I guess when you survive and kill some players, you get to keep their shit. Not sure how this will work, since any map right now only alows like 4-7 players in them, and some of them are fucking huge. but they need to add this ASAP.
Also I noticed the balance way fucking off. Some of the scrubs I ran into were hitting head shots with shotguns from like 75-100 yards away. Fucking OP NPC aimbots! I also saw many streamers totally bypass the places where they normally hang out because they are that deadly. So yeah, the balance is still fucked. In other words, after one night of playing I got all my weapons that I started with taken away, along with all their magazines and shit, so now im dead in the water.
Its really a brutal game, there is a clock counter on the screen just before entering, and if its night time, good luck without a night vision or some flash light. Its fucking EQ 1999 human dark. They have a place you can purchase shit from, 3 stores of varying stuff, weapons, meds and yes, even night vision, but they are so expensive, fuck spending 100,000 rubles or whatever on a night vision devie only to have it taken from you the first time you enter the world with it.
But overall its a good concept if its fully fleshed out. The only thing is that the good players will get forever more powerful and the weak will just stop playing. At least thats how I think it will go down. they need to tone down the loss thing IMO, or make shit on certain maps easier to get out. Because as it stands, aside some lucky raids, the average player is fucked by dudes toting fully modded ARs or AKs with dual long range and red dot scopes and silencers, tons of ammo, tons of bag space to collect up all your shit when you die. Even just ading more ways of sneaking around would be cool. Right now you could probably duck and evade a human player, but the NPCs fucking radar you in at 150 yards and hone onto you like fucking terminator.
The extraction points can be totally camped as well as the entrance points. Every map has like 3-4 of each which are not random at all (and should be every time IMO). So people will get to know these and shit all over you right when you enter or just when youre about to extract all that sweet sweet loot you got when they camp out the extraction points with a few of their buddies and split up all of your loot among themselves.
