New Weight System has made all my skills useless.

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.

A maximal geared run is no effective, if the required skills are not highly leveled.

Somewhere you have to spare some weight. May it be the gun, ammo small or high caliber, mods, grenades, magazine amount and size, medicazion, rig, armour, backpack.

Go the mid gun + ammo way, with good helmet but mediocre armour, only 3 × 30 round mags, only important keys, middle dize backpack.

There will be a reason now to play SMGs and MP type guns again. Being fast, first by loot rooms, sneaky silent, long sprints etc..

Much more factors to consider, game became more complex.

I hope that the head bobbing gets reduced, but the weight borders were fine at the beginning imo.
