Battlestate Games is all there now Escape from the stars Age of Darkness Edition features a new continuous progression PvE game mode, available for free at launch with no six-month time limit. The offline co-op mode was originally announced as an exclusive to the newly released EFT Hard Edition before Battlestate offered this new mode to EoD owners for a limited time, with all owners getting unlimited playtime for free at launch after Premium Early Access.
A brand new statement from Battlestate Games COO Nikita Buyanov was posted on the Escape From Tarkov Reddit on Saturday, April 27th that aims to clarify the situation when it comes to changing who gets the upcoming offline PvE mode. Players can get early access to the new FPS game mode at a significant discount, but the full release will be free for everyone.
“We noticed your dissatisfaction and decided that when the game is released, the PvE mode feature will be available for free to all owners of the EoD version, while the server infrastructure is optimized for the required capacity,” Boanov wrote.
Buyers of the Age of Darkness Edition will also receive a 70% discount on Early Access in the PvE mode only. EoD owners who want to upgrade to Escape From Tarkov Unheard Edition will receive a 50% discount. Anyone who owns the EoD Edition will get the new PvE mode for free, or you can purchase early access separately or through the Unhardened Edition upgrade.
Players are criticizing Battlestate Games after removing the EoD version from sale in January for what it claims is a premium version of EFT that offers “free access to all subsequent DLC”, but Buanov doesn’t believe the upcoming offline mode will be DLC. They explained in a Reddit statement.
“[The new] The PvE game mode is not DLC. From our understanding, DLCs are major additions to the game, including various features and content that are released as a themed DLC pack after the game’s official release (such as the Scav Life DLC, which will add many new mechanics and content). accounting game).
“This specific functionality of PvE mode is essentially present entirely on a separate network infrastructure, since you play mainly on our servers, it is currently not possible to turn it on only in closed mode.” [for] All players who carry EoD – we don’t have enough resources for it right now.
After the initial response to the Unhardened version, Battlestate Games offered EOD owners access to the new features as well as a new offline PvE mode for six months, but now all EOD owners get it for free forever.
Despite the continued backlash, many players still criticize the Battlestate game in the comments. As one user called the whole thing “snake behavior”, they shed a lot of light on how the mod should be classified as DLC. “They say you can’t PvE everyone because of the cost, but why run it as PvE on your server? Why not let it run on the users computer and make it really offline?
While all EoD players are now getting free access to the upcoming offline PvE mode, Battlestate has decided to redouble its efforts to keep the mode out of sight while offering early access at a higher price because the DLC is one for incredibly bad taste in many people’s mouths. .
