Someone who actually played the game here. It could be fun RIGHT NOW outside of the poor performance and constant crashes when loading in and spawning multiple people who are hostile at the same spawn point if they fixed insurance and teams.
Insurance is supposed to be your way of increasing the chance you return with an item. Instead, it's used to insure your items, throw them in a bush after you kill someone, and take all of their loot. Nobody will find your items in the bush and you will get them back. It negates the whole point of having a carrying capacity. Killed a guy wearing fort armor? No problem, just toss your own fort armor in a bush and take his. Now you have two fort armors.
Teams are cancer because a map can have 8 players on it and 5 of them can be in a team. I'm sick of gunning down 2 shitty potatoes just to die to the third. If you load into a map and you never hear gunfights, there is just one massive fucking team wandering around and you have no business being there, so it's time to leave. There are no solo players for you to hunt. Shooting at scavs will just summon the team.
I don't have to mention fixing the hatchling issue. For anyone who doesn't know what it is, people are loading into maps with nothing but hatchets (which do not drop when you die) and run around and stuff their containers (bags that don't drop your items if you die). Yeah, you load into a map with a team and three hatchlings, and there is just nothing to do. Hatchlings will go away if they fix this team shit, probably by putting teams in maps with increased player counts with multiple teams, and by fixing this insurance fraud shit by removing the insured status from any item you leave behind if you successfully extract. Hatchlings only exist because people don't have guns to bring to the game since all they do is load in, kill two people, die to the third and fourth since it was a four man team, and then have his equipment picked over by people who hide their shit in bushes so they're guaranteed to keep their stuff by paying only a small trickle of rubles.
The game is vaguely fun yet supremely unfair if you have friends to play with, since me and my friend just shit all over people who were just looking to have a good gunfight. Too bad you can't find people like that when playing solo. Never find teams when playing with a team. It's not worth playing if you play alone unless you like dealing with scav-tier equipment or playing scavs. Also, people sperg about all the shit they give you for buying a package as being pay to win, but these kikes just equip it and run out and lose it all in 10 minutes anyway, nor is it even the good shit (sans fort armor). The real pay to win is the gamma container, because you can just come across an M4, pop the stock off, and guarantee it as loot.
The only PvE is killing scavs. They're just AI bandits with random shit loot with the occasional treasure. You cannot play PvE without being in a PvP zone, because the game only has one mode. There is the offline mode where you can explore maps and kill scavs, but it's for practice - you don't get any loot, expend any items, or gain any experience. It's definitely not a PvE game.
