After the arrival of the Unheard Edition, Battlestate Games decided to review the whole situation surrounding the outcries and frustration. By doing that, Battlestate Games realized that they made a huge mistake with the release, and for that reason, they will also be adding some of the Unheard Edition features to the EoD edition owners.
Basically, the EoD edition owners have the right to receive every subsequent DLC for free, but nothing was said about it on the day of release of the Unheard Edition, which is why everyone boycotted BSG. Today’s response by BSG doesn’t really fix things up, it just pours petrol to the fire. EoD edition owners won’t get perma access to the PvE version, but will just get access for a limited amount of 6 months. I really don’t know what to say about this, but it seems like BSG is going deeper inside the rabbit whole.
Over on Reddit, the COO of Battlestate Games has stated:
Hello, Tarkov citizens!
To honor the owners of the EOD version and their indelible importance and role in the EFT universe, we plan to add the following new unique features to the EOD edition:
- Faster return of insured items
- Increased personal trader buying limits by 20%
- Increased basic PMC karma (when it will be implemented)
- Access to unique hideout craft
- Increased basic charisma skill
- Special quest line with increased pockets side as a reward
- Ability to skip 2 daily quests per day free of charge
- Unique dog tag
- Unique armband
- Unique set of clothing
- Unique “Legacy” device
- High priority matching for EOD owners for 6 months
- Access to offline PVE for EOD owners for 6 months
We will provide those changes and additions as fast as possible.
Temporary access to PVE will be provided as soon as we will reinforce server infrastructure of that particular gamemode for a wider audience, because we use totally different servers for that and now there is a really limited amount of them.
