[Discussion] Quick thoughts on no flea from someone having max traders b4 flea
Some quick thoughts from someone who hit max traders with no flea
- -Progression hasn't been slowed that much. Last year hit lightkeeper in 2.5 weeks. This wipe, its a little slower but not by much.
- -BSG needs to spend more time making the game enjoyable for casuals, instead of trying to hurt no lifers/grinders. RIP standard users this wipe.
- -Game felt fair as it always does early wipe. Levels 1-25ish are pretty fair gear wise, but once I had level3 traders, gear diff seemed to favor me much more.
- -No Flea makes trader level matter more. I had an advantage having lvl3-4 traders while most of the playerbase was on lvl1-2 traders.
- -Flea is needed to make fights fair, and probably should be lower than level15. Ammo progression doesn't make any sense. A low level shouldn't be locked to 7.62SP. Really dumb that i can rock class 5 armor, 40 pen bullets, and someone with LL1 or LL2 can only run basically 25 pen.
- -LVPOs/scopes are busted. IMO early fights feel great because most players are on bad scopes or reflex sights. Not sure how to balance these, being able to go 1x to 4x quickly is very strong.
- -IMO a secret reason people enjoy no flea is because there is no FOMO about hitting level 15. You hit level15 with no flea and its kinda like, ok lol just another level.
- -FIR hideout wasn't a big deal, i dont care about it too much anyway. Doesn't really affect you much if you can play all day/WFH and scav
- -No flea didn't hurt my economy at all. It made some items more valuable and some items less valuable. Previous wipes I'd be excited to find a toolset. This wipe i didn't care at all about finding them because i didn't need them. Same with stuff like hoses.
- -Christmas quests and theming was awesome, khorovod leaves a lot to be desired.
- -Arena nerfs were pretty big, but overall arena is still in a good spot.
- -Kedr-B with RG028/Bzht and UZI pro with ap6.3 were my most used guns this wipe.
