Poor quality servers for a really expensive game
Went inactive for Months and account is blocked
Played EFT for a couple months enjoying the game I purchased EOD played for another couple months go bored didn't play much
I try to log onto my account and it says I'm permanently blocked I emailed support with no response at all
My account being blocked is meaning banned I legitimate got banned for no reason I've never cheated nor will I ever cheat but having a good explanation to why I got banned would be nice.....
Think they just want me to spend more money for a new account but I refuse I will never support EFT again and I will express this to ever person I ever talk to about gaming
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY THEY WILL BAN YOU FOR NO REASON
EFT is an awful game with awful, S H A D Y devs.
EFT, much like War Thunder has always been a great concept. The problem is the execution. In EFT, you get to have an awful experience nearly every single time you play. Whether it's PVP with speed hackers and aim bots, or PVE facing AI with split second laser aiming through bushes from across the map and grenades more accurate than a sniper shot, the entire experience is awful. If you want a 100% better version of Tarkov, buy the lowest possible package in EFT then download SPTarkov which is a single player progressive version of Tarkov that is and always will be a billion times better than EFT, with a community that is also a billion times better.
SCAM
After wipe 4 days Im searching for salewa (first mission)
and got killed by cheater with mosin was shooting at me like from machinegun and he is already lvl 24 what a hell is wrong with you guys(BS)???
The game is so bugged and bad you…
The game is so bugged and bad you cannot EVEN REPORT BUGS BECAUSE EVEN TRYING CAUSES AN ERROR.
It's so bad optimized I cannot play a single raid without errors that crash my whole PC. PvP and PvE.
SCAM
EoD since 2018 they broke more things further and the game will never be complete.Instead of fixing the issues, the company adds trash to the game, scams people and bans accounts without any evidence, so when you buy the game they can take away from you whenever they want without giving any reason or evidence, that's the terms user have to agree to when you buy the game and no refunds.
This game has become poop
This game has become poop! They made all the scavs OP af before the wipe. I hardly see any pmc's I've played 7 matches in a row haven't seen 1 other player. I can't make it out of a raid cause I get ambushed by 20 scavs wearing lvl 6 gear and they can eat insane amount of round. If your not using high MMR rounds or crack headshots instantly your cooked. Devs suck and won't fix issues with the game.
i would give 0 stars..
i would give 0 stars... the support is as pathetic as the game, took my key and wont give it back..
dont waste your money on this "project" its as miserable as the country... real slit your wrists stuff..
no help, game is buggy and cheap all round .. keep the rubles, I dont even want the key back looking at the latest updates, the game is still so awful it makes candy crush look superb
Complete rip-off of a game
Complete rip-off of a game. Super buggy even after being in development for what seems an eternity, the devs are super focused adding more useless content instead of fixing the content we already have. Not to mention the newest pay to win aspect they have added. Worst devs and an even worse game. Save your money as I wish I never purchased this trash can in the first place.
Escape from backend errors
Another weekend of backend errors, making the game completely unplayable and making players lose massive amounts of gear and money that they spent their time earning. Just your average Tarkov experience.
This company is a disgrace to the…
This company is a disgrace to the gaming industry and community. They take no ownership in the state of their games and if you want a refund you have no chance. They also discriminate against Neurodiversity and once again take no ownership. I've been a gamer for decades and have never found a company so bad. Take note from Steam, They make you look like small fry.
Illegal business practices?
The game has significant pay to win elements and violates EU regulation by refusing refunds.
Predatory Marketing and Lackluster Gameplay
So I bought the game a few years ago, and have played on and off since. I ended up getting a new computer hadn't played EFT since. I just recently tried to reinstall it and give it a go but turns out my email/account no longer exists, according to their own website.
I spent a good amount of cash when I first bought this, and if I knew I would have to continuously repurchase the game just to play once and as while, I never would have invested in the first place.
For gods sake I'm currently looking at the purchase confirmation email they sent me when I first bought it.
Don't waste your time or money folks, there are many EFT clones from more prominent developers in the west, pick one of them you'll get more enjoyment out of it, guaranteed. its not worth the headache of dealing with the predatory marketing, or even the game issues cause its still not complete to this day.
Its a shame, this game would have been wonderful if the dev team wasn't scum
i loved this game sometimes but instead…
i loved this game sometimes but instead of hiring good programmers they wasting the money of the people for nothing, last patch they included a new bug that you lose connection multiple times. I played 1 raid waitet 8 minutes until the raid startet and lost connection to their bamboo servers. I Reconnected 12 times until a player killed me while reconnecting. I guess thats what you get if you dont take 250€ and ram it in their 0IQ asses
horrible login mechanism and locks you…
horrible login mechanism and locks you out of account for hours if you fail the password once and the game is full of cheaters and devs do nothing about it
The studio is not worth it
The game is good, great even.
Unfortunately you can't look past the lying and exploitative development studio, changing their mind about an exclusive package and all the benefits that should come with just so they can make an extra couple bucks. So they tried to scam their player base and even though they backpaddled on couple of things they still did scam the most die hard part of their community that went and bought the at the time most expensive dlc that was promised to include absolutely everything and it is super duper exclusive. All of this was a lie.
They introduced more pay to win into the game with a new more expensive version of the game 250$ BTW. With that they added micro-transaction to buy more space.
They have ignored the cheating problem for years. And are pretending like it's not an enormous issue shifting blame and basically doing nothing about it.
Not worth your money.
Full scam..
Full scam...
As bad as it comes, with a misleading website:
I bought the COOP mode which is not what they say it is:
"Ability to gain access to the Practice CO-OP mode. The offer is available for owners of any edition;"
My friend will only play my games but I can not play their games!
Totally outrageous!
I've asked for a refund based on this and Battlestate Games said it's all been explained in the Terms of agreement.
As per the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU): Directive 2011/83/EU
UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
I am due a refund within the period but it looks like Battlestate Games from Russia operates outside every international law!
Shameful....
Expensive for so many bugs and issues
Escape from Tarkov has potential, dont get me wrong, but the current state of the game with so many cheaters in pvp and bugs in pve like raiders spawning ontop, of you it just is not worth what they charge. There is also a large learning curve and little to no tutorial. Additionally, its 50/50 weather you get a walking simulator for a game, or something actually decent.
Terrible, just awful.
this is a Disgusting company with disgusting work ethic from employees working for them
I have been asking for support for many months now, all they do is copy paste an agreement and then suspend your support capabilities.
by all means, AVOID BUYING ANYTHING FROM THESE SCUZZBALLS.

Cant download the game as it will never go faster that 9kb a second fix ur servers before charging f#cking 60 dollars for ur game with no refunds.
