I only recently started playing EFT in January of this year. Since then I've put in over 350 hours and Tarkov has become my favorite game on the market. Even as someone who plays this game 20+ hours a week in almost all of my spare time outside of work, I can say for sure this patch has killed the game for me at the moment. Having grinded so much for what I possess now, modded weapons, high tier armors and rigs, those gigantic backpacks, I feel immense disappointment that simply bringing a plate carrier, helmet, and a primary with a few spare mags I'm already penalized by the game. Sneaking is impossible with even half a kit, despite my covert movement skill being at 18. I kill a team of players and I can't take anything from them. Grabbing even a helmet and gun off a dead player raises my encumbrance to the point of being unable to extract because I'm so slow or unable to sprint long. The kicker is that I actually wanted this mechanic in the game. But to wipe all of our strengths and endurance skills, midwipe, well in my opinion you might as well have wiped the full game. My inventory is full of goodies that will just make me an easy target for all players and scavs now.
