Tarkov devs respond to backlash over change to quest rewards Battlestate Games[jwplayer 91I9RIGm]A brief change to Escape From Tarkov quest rewards, along with a developer\u2019s apparent response brushing off player\u2019s concerns, has rubbed the Tarkov community the wrong way. On June 22, Tarkov players discovered that a valuable reward, the T H I C C Items Case, for two of the game\u2019s quests had been removed and replaced with a regular Items Case. Besides having an amazing name, the T H I C C Items Case is incredibly valuable because it provides 196 inventory slots inside, while only taking up a total of 15 \u2013 which is why its temporary removal irked so many players who had yet to unlock it after the May 28 character wipe update. After players started discussing the Case\u2019s removal as a reward for the Therapist\u2019s \u201cPrivate Clinic\u201d and Prapor\u2019s \u201cPerfect Mediator\u201d quests, a Battlestate Games developer with the name \u2018ShiroTenshi\u2019 replied to players on the official Tarkov forums essentially saying, \u201cIf you don\u2019t like it, don\u2019t play it,\u201d \u2013 which did not go over well, to say the least. \u201cHaving things change unexpectedly is one of the many things that can happen when playing a game that is still in development and not finished,\u201d Shiro wrote. \u201cEverything would eventually reset anyway with the next wipe. It being fair or not has nothing to do with it. Continuing the development of the game, which will involve continued changes to said game, is the goal here.\u201d \u201cI am sorry you feel cheated from these changes, but if that is the case then playing during the development stage may not be for you,\u201d they continued. \u201cAfter the game has full release, these sort of things will not happen so you may want to wait until that point.\u201d After ShiroTenshi\u2019s response was posted to the Tarkov subreddit, Battlestate Games Cheif Operating Officer Nikita Buyanov replied apologizing to players and telling them, \u201cIf you see any statement \u2013 look for my nickname or name, if it\u2019s not \u2013 than don\u2019t take it seriously.\u201d Shortly after apologizing to the playerbase, Battlestate reverted the changes, one again making the T H I C C Items Case a reward for both quests. \u201cHey, I guess it was too harsh to do a live changes like that,\u201d Buyanov wrote on Reddit. \u201cI will not say anything else \u2013 cases are changed back. I definitely didn\u2019t predict THAT impact.\u201d So, while the initial response from developers might not have been what players were looking for, to say the least, Battlestate did end up reverting the changes. So you can once again get out there and grind for your own T H I C C Case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
