Does Battlestate Hate Casual Players? | Stash Value vs. Hours Played Per Week Survey Results | Exfil Episode 68 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

Exfil is a weekly Escape From Tarkov Podcast

On this episode MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about the recent Bitcoin Changes and Ronal’s video discussing the changes.

A popular sentiment in the Tarkov community is that ‘Battlestate Hates Casual Players’ which Ronal and MTB talk about and lean more towards the ‘Battlestate doesn’t UNDERSTAND casual players’ and why they think this might be the case.

After breaking down why changes get made, from a game design standpoint, in the middle of a ‘season’ Ronal and MTB discuss the reactionary development decisions and how they may be in opposition to the long term game design philosophy of making Escape From Tarkov persistent.

Lastly, the pair cover the analysis of adding in hours played per week to the stash value survey results covered last week. There are some very interesting spikes in the data, but using these two data sets leads to more questions and excitement for future data reveals.

All this and more in the episode!
