What does it mean to "go gold"?
How much are we betting this will remain in 1.0?
>>544879269
how do i tell if an ai scav is friendly as a scav? i cant seem to googlefu it
>>544880923AI Scavs are always friendly unless you act like a nigger to other Scavs. If you got attacked without shooting Scavs then you got too close to a boss/guard. Guards and bosses look different than Scavs.
>>544881067oh i guess i should mention im playing spt. do pmc's spawn then and i should just look for them? i played this like 5 years ago and just picked it back up like....20 minutes ago.
>>544881239I don't know I don't play fake games.
>>544881298shame
oh and whats this infection meter/level. is this the halloween thing? literally the first thing that happened to me in the first 2 minutes of picking this back up was getting rushed by some scav i guess who had a spade and nailing him with the very first shot i fired in anger. that was neato
>>544879967there are glow niggers in tarkov?
let me guess, you need more?
>>544891835>4x AND 1x>flashlight AND laser>fully automaticHoly crutches...
>vaporized in 0.3 seconds by Kill-I mean Vida in Duckov>lost all my shit including my super rare backpack and helmet
>2025>5.45 reloading still takes a week
Sako/Valmet and Galil guns when?
Mental illness.
>>5449015926 years without a galil
>>5449020196 years of being on the run from the mental asylum.
>>544901260you've been posting this so long they replaced RK95 with RK62M
>>544897465>didnt insuredeserved
>>544902019Oozi and Deeg are better Israel representation
>>544901592>It's mental illness to be following/playing the game and expect additions to it.No.>>544908202Crazy. That said RK62M is just modernization of the old 62, Finns still use 95 that they made on the side, they weren't just ever capable of creating enough 95's to replace 62 away, and now it's time to simply modernize old 62's.Either way I'd be fine with either added.>>544909815Neither are taktikool though compared to AR platform and Galil is neat with its ACE, Micro, etc. variants existing.
>>544910534>it's mental illness to ritualpost the same shit for 6 yearsYes, yes it is.
>>544879239The same as "go black"
>>544910534Actually you've been posting it for so long they're about to replace the entire system with a new 5.56/7.62x51 AR platform.
>>544909006If that option exists I haven't unlocked it yet.
>>544911759Frankly disgusting.
>>544912115it doesn't, i'm just being mean. I'm sorry for your loss, anon, I hope you get another even better kit!
>>544909815>jew gunsyikers
>>544915270>being racist unprompted
Should I ? I only have one that I need to turn in for a quest, but on the other hand I'm POOR.
>>544916084Remain poor, do quests
>>544916892My endless greed has consumed me, I sold it for a stash upgrade.
>>544917743His green has consumed him...
>2 weeks to full release>Still no real advantage to using a BEAR PMC.How come?
>>544926974BEARChads don't need crutches to make the game easier.
>>544926974Faction skills coming with 1.0
>>544927858>more skillsloppls no
>>544936879>skills badKill yourself. Maybe play a game that doesn't have RPG elements
>>544912351I hate to break it to ya, anon, but the ar15 platform is the pinnacle of small arms. Get used to it
>>544938670the only people who should kill themselves are skillsniggers>hurr durr i poopsocked the game so i should be allowed to have better statsfuck off to some gay mmo
>>544891835>all that shitNo, I need less. Also you're missing the scope cap and stock pad
>>544938864>NOOOO JUST CHANGE THE GAME TO ACOMMODATE MEif you died to the guy with 2 more levels of endurance than you, does it make you feel better to pretend it's the skills fault?
>>544939108>noooo you can't just criticize dogshit mechanics in a game you play!!actually slit your wrists, i am not even shitposting anymore this is genuine.
Cool
>>544938864>I played a game with RPG elements more so I leveled moreYes...?
>>544939276Anon they're already here, why are you playing if you hate them? Skills are awesome and feel like progression, even if minimal. My Mag Drills is like level 17 and I love it
>>544939316>RPG elementskillslop has nothing to do with role playing>>544939517>oh you dislike one particular aspect of a game?? why are you even playing bro??
>heres your average arena team mates bro Every team fight match I've played in the last few days has been either a total clean sweep or nearly a sweep it's kinda fucking ridiculous. It doesn't matter how well I perform I can't ace every single round.
>>544940534>CQCMfagDeserved tbqhwy
>>544940739I can't realistically run a helmet with the ash-12 so cqc mask it is. At least it'll ricochet a round once every 20 games.
>>544940534good opsec anon
>>544941041I knew at least one of you would appreciate it.
>>544940923just be yourself bro.
>>544941494I do stylemax on some classes but the current state of arena sucks so I sweat to get dailies/weeklies done as fast as possible recently.
>>544939701>skills arent relevant to the RPG part of the gameHoly shit you're so dissociated from reality
two more weeks
>>544955308I wish he would upload more than one Tarkov video a year...
>>544881239Vanilla SPT is meant to mimic live so scavs should be friendly unless you did something
>dreamt about the game again last nightShit bros I'm down bad...2 weeks more of waiting and it's legitimately painful. I just want to pick up my beloved Colt 723 already and blast some gimpmask metafags>>544901260whatever happened to LMTfag anyway
>>544956849yeah, figured out eventually. turns out it was only spawning scavs, and since i was always going in as a scav, there was just noone to ever fight on certain maps. turns out the issue was i had turned off seasonal events and it just stops spawning either groups, or just everyone at all depending on the map
>>544959008i dont understand the middle one. why would you want it to go free 2 play
>>544955514I would be shocked if this didn't cause a minor resurgence in his tarkov vids
>>544963008Assuming I'm not being trolled, the "Free!" stands for a free slot in the card, not Tarkov being free-to-play.
>>544963008Brother.
>>544966279kek
I just want to play with different guns at launch, maybe they Rework the m4 sound since it's the shittiest sounding gun ever, maybe remove the neck hitbox
>>544970303>since it's the shittiest sounding gun everNyet, the M9 holds that title
>trying to get my last insomnia kills on interchang>run inside>hear two people running nearby>shoot the first guy through a slit in the wall a few times>he's clueless and runs inside the store I'm at>run melee range after him>his boyfriend misses me and fucking shreds himkek, I wish I could have seen their hours but I got third partied after killing the second dude
All you need really.
BRUH
Who the hell is Oni and why did we need more boss spawns on Shoreline? Going anywhere near the weather station is already a PITA because you have to deal with the goons.Got my shit fucked out of nowhere by an aimsnapping boss I didn't even know existed, I guess. Definitely not a cultist because his gun wasn't suppressed.
>>544981181Oni is just the halloween goons from last year
>>544970303Maybe they'll add a "sproing" to the M4. The buffer being pressed against your cheek means you feel it as much as you hear it (though granted you would not notice it in full-auto fire)
>>544982108it just needs to sound better, it sounds ass unsupressed and it sounds even asser supressed
Just a matter of time until some bombshell is dropped on the community because Nikita did something extremely stupid for the 1.0 release.
>>544958758actually, nope. pmc's simply do not spawn on customs. no idea why. the only changes ive made is changing the scav respawn timer.do pmcs NOT spawn on customs normally without spt?
>>544988315spt 4.0.0 had a bug with pmcs occasionally not spawning in scav runsthey released a patch to fix it but you probably didn't update
>>544989110im on 4.0.3.
>>544989258actually, i checked, no maps spawn pmcs. at all. and the scavs dont move either. huh.this is a completely fresh, first time install of both tarkov and spt, with spt downloaded from the website yesterday as well.immmm just gonna reinstall it and try again
>>544990589ah! thats it. SVM, the mod for tweaking stuff, only marked as compatible for 4.0.2. funny. guess ill go get that version instead.
>>544991571and never mind to that, cant download 4.0.2 from the website so welp
>>544985723I'm waiting for him to try to sneak plate hitboxes or more restrictive inertia or some of the hardcore changes back in and twitchfags blow their lid
>>544970303> maybe they Rework the m4 sound since it's the shittiest sounding gun everIt's literally a perfect rendition of a full-auto ARhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia7uvtIvKUI>maybe remove the neck hitbox>NOOOOOOOOOO SCAVS AND NEWFAGS CAN KILL ME SOMETIMES AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME HYPERRATIn short: ur a faget
>>544994734https://youtu.be/ia7uvtIvKUI?t=150Here's a timestamp for anyone who wants to watch this because you're a lazy nigger.
Any idea where I can reliably find this shit ? This has been cockblocking my entire character progression, I'm level 20 and still stuck there. Still at Farm Town.
>>544996261What are they? I can't tell from the icons
>>544997176SightPRO Helmet and Lvl 4. Body Armor.Also Large Hammer for Precise Aim 2, I haven't found a single one in 16hrs.
No idea for the helmet but you get occasional level 4s on the mercs in farm town
>>544998425Thanks, guess I've just been very unlucky for that one.
Where the fuck can I get a Key Case? This has been blocking both my skill tree and warehouse expansion forever.
GIVE ME 1.0 ALREADY I AM SO FUCKING BORED OF THESE MEANINGLESS GAMES ALREADY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>545004547I got one from a random container once in 20 hours, seems to be a very rare drop.
>>545004547I saw one at some point but for the life of me I can't remember where for sure. I think it MIGHT have been the trader on the hill at ground zero.
>>545005812Now that you mention it I think one trader sells with for dollar bills, it's either Ground Zero or Farm Town.
>>544878865Is it true this game is trooncore? What are the chances I'll be able to pull a mtf trans baddie that will send me pictures of their starfish
>>545009343The Arc Raiders general is two threads down the block bro.
>>545009343We just got discord armbands in the game so your chances are higher than ever now.
Is there any halloween event yet?
>>545015564>he doesnt know
A 545 on 1.0 or is Nikita going full jew and adding weapons to the Arena battlepass next?
>>545015820I don't, so is there any event going on or not? Last I checked they only changed the trader icons.
>>545019090Next battlepass will have a new gun in the paid Lighthouse Tactical Map
>>544940534Why even play team fight? Just play checkpoint/last hero like a normal person.
>>545010194Fuck you!
>>545021661oh i dont know either, i just like saying that. sorry
>don't play arena outside of daily quests>1-2 games per day max>still consistently run into battlepass level 100 paypigsBehead all whales, I don't even want to imagine the amount of retards who unironically paid for this shit if I see them in almost every game.
>>545024219>had one on the enemy team today>he got votekicked in the last minuteThere are still good and honest men left in this game
Recently I noticed whenever I play as an enforcer with the rpd people tend to whiff their shots a lot more. What's up with that? Is it because of Aimpunch or something?
so do you think they’re adding unconscious states and body dragging in 1.0? or did they cut that feature too
>>5450285981% chance that shit's in 1.0. I genuinely don't think BSG is capable of coding body dragging.
>>545019090>KORDfucking FINALLY dude
>>545022846Because I ran out of money rerolling my tasks and I'm not rerolling a weekly that I was halfway done with.
>>545034705Idk I'd rather save up and reroll for something better. No respawn gamemodes are such a drag
>>545036103I'm not playing arena any more than I absolutely have to. The current state of arena is the most niggerlicious it's ever been.
>>545019090>another 5.45 nobody will useJust lower the recoil penalty on the good ammo you Slavic fuckIt's bad enough that I have worse dps than an M4 or MP7, but the fact that 5.45 jumps so much in full auto makes it even more unattractive for anything other than casual money runs
>>545037617just use 7N40, retard. Pens everything up to and including class 4 (99% of face shields) instantly and has -10 recoil built in
>>545038784>just use the round locked behind a tedious quest unlocked at level 47 and limited to 60 rounds per reset
>>545039274By the time you're doing any task that requires a 5.45 gun you should have a ton of it. The maps are littered with good 5.45 ammo.
>>545039345>The maps are littered with good 5.45 ammo.BP and BS maybe, 7N40 isn't super common, especially the big packs
>>545039274>just use good bulletsyes.
>>544994734das rite transisterwe also need artery hitboxes on your legs that instantly kill you because come on dude having better gear shouldnt matter in a looter shooter just let me win every once in a while for doing nothing fucking sweats man i dont wanna get better at the game and have it actually feel rewarding when i kill someone that's better geared than me i want a bunch of one shot hitboxes please
>>545040437>proving his point
>>545041704proving that its retarded? yup
>>545040437I unironically miss realistic plate hitboxes, every fight felt intense since you could get instagibbed by anyone but the implementation was rather poor.For it to be somewhat properly balanced, BSG would need to add a critical hatbox, increase the overall thorax hp, adjust armor availability, rebalance ammo (make ap ammo obtainable only in raid or something) and buff plates.
>>545042504i dont even mind the idea, the problem is one shot hitboxes which you can't protect and are hit on accident more than notlike nobody ever fucking aims for the throat, it's just people trying to hit a headshot, failing because they're shit, then accidentally hitting the throat and killing youif say there was at least one way to reliably protect yourself from it, say face shields extending to the throat, then itd be okay because there'd be SOMETHING you can do
>>545043181Isn't throat protected by neck armor and part of the 85hp thorax healthpool?
>>545043387>neck armoronly available in lvl 3 and never has much dura either, does nothing>part of the 85hp thorax healthpool?ya it used to be way fucking worse with the guaranteed one shot, now it's two but it's still an absolutely miserable way to die and makes you question why you even bring in good armor
gee it's almost as if armor isn't meant to make you an unstoppable god, just increase your odds of surviving
>>545043181The problem with the old system was that you could get oneshot by someone grazing the side of your rib.If the critical hitbox is about as big as the heart then the only way to hit it is to outmaneuver your opponent. Personally I didn't mind the throat hatbox being part of the head.
>>545044198you want it to too far into the other direction imo
I wish Nikita would tell everyone to go fuck themselves and implement the plate hitboxes they had before everyone was bitching about dying to someone running non-meta weapons.
>>545045021This would've probably happened if streamers wouldn't exist.
>>545045021Shit was cashmoney but like others have said, they would need to put some effort into balancing it properly, unfortunately BSG are too lazy to do that.
>>544879239Dear zoomer...Gold copy was the master copy for duplication. Eg. the final release.
Pwease let me win pwease more instakill hitboxes niggita pweaseeeee waaaahhhhh
If you did't know it is possible to only keep playing Ground Zeroes and get 95% of the loot in this game. Nice game design. Base upgrades are locked to reputation levels but otherwise it is pretty much possible to level up everything to max just via GZ only.
WHY CANT I KILL THE ZABRALO GUY WITH MY KEDR WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WTF
>i have better gear better gun better ammo but i still can't hecking win against timmies please give me balaclava_dev nikita
H u n t.
>>545039345>The maps are littered with good 5.45 ammo.7n40 seems to be the rarest. Others have severe (as much as +10) recoil penalties in addition to ak-74's just generally being higher recoiling guns than M4's.It's not like 5.56 is hard to stockpile these days,either.So, the gun is:>heavy>slow firing>high recoil>low-ish damage per bullet >high height over boreThere's just no reason to use 5.45 guns once you complete the tasks that require them.
Do you think Nikita allow's us to rebuy Unheard Edition for the second time? That would be so cool.
>>545053909Hopefully Niggita goes mask-off and releases a $1000 super-duper edition.
>>545055002Because it's Christmas and all there will be some sort of special edition. Would be cool if they published Tarkov merchandise, t-shirts and statuettes and stuff.
>>545053909>didn't buy The Unheard Edition for all his squadmatesYou call yourself a true believer?
What PMC should I pick when I get the game on the 15th?
>>545057359BEARUSEC if you're homosexual and gay
>>545057562A compelling argument.
>>545057359I always go for sissy USEC with Chris voice.BEAR and USEC Josh feels too tryhard.
>>545058228Is Chris the one who moans like he's getting railed in the ass when he dies?
>>545058357Yeah I love his voice lines, fucking hilarious
>>545057359>>545057562Unless they're secretly adding that BEAR friendly AI faction for 1.0 somewhere that matters, I refuse to go to lighthouse as a BEAR
>>545060841Weak
>>545039345>>545052002It took me an entire ammo case of BP, BS, and 7N40 to complete TD3, between killing pmcs, scavs, rogues, and goons. I didn’t even die that much, it’s just a shitty caliber
>>545060841The BEAR does not concern himself with friendly factions
>>545060975>>545061110I dealt with having to clear the whole fucking water treatment solo for multiple wipes, I'm not doing it again
>>545061589Just go there at in the final 10 minutes of the raid, bro.
>>545061797
>play for the first time in months with a friend>killed by the same exact cheater twice out of 4 raids, dead to another cheater 1 other timelolwent scav and friendlyfired some fags at least
>>545070482>LITERALLY EVERYONE IS A CHEATER
>>545071321>dooood le wiggle...
>>545071321guy we saw twice had 200hrs and head/eyesd both of us in his first shot both raids with a mosinkill yourselfpicrel another player scav i teamkilled haha

>>545072153>oh damn he's right oh well i have to commit to being an unfunny retard now
>>545072404>hes right>he shot me with a MosinNigga what? Lmao
>>544992190the "we won't host old versions" is a really good meme
>>544992190>>545072685cs.rin probably has it
>>545072628suck my dick fag
>>545072787>play for the first time in months>level 33
>>545073165suck my fucking dick nigger
>>545073290
>>544938670not that anon but I would like the skill leveling to be overhauled, the "ope you did one action now you're leveling it FAR slower for the foreseeable future" bit is fucking dumb. Even with drinking 3 energy drinks a raid immunity is a slow crawl. I did all of Slaughterhouse and gained... 40%? of level 2 melee. That's fucking insane, over 50 melee kills and not even half a level.
>>545073434choke on it pussy
Losing kits at an alarming rate, shitter-kun.
see whats killing us holy shit lol
>>545074891An average Joe?
>>544997838>>544996261killing pmcs, can farm the ones where Pato is or any of the other ones. I was dumb and sold some of my t4 armor and ended up searching quite a while for it again. Helmet and shit is just luck of the draw from pmcs, but they usually wear better shit at night as far as I've seen. Large hammer I'd seen from Red envelopes and the lumbermill and whatnot.
>>545074891>2 KD>50/50 survival rateThis isnt even a good player
>>545073434Dude literally outed himself as someone who gets carried by a cheater. LMAO
>>545074994a nigger>>545075202yea perfectly even survival with shitter KD while shooting me through walls isnt weird fucking faggoti dont wanna update arena to get welfare my shits running out idk what im gonna do probably go play something else
>>545075364You have 59 hours played.
>>545075548MERKED A BITCH
>28%>perfectly even
>>545075697his gay ass prestige 2 friend got me right after cause i couldnt hear the pussy was there i only have audio on 1 ear so shit sounds too fucked up to tell30 KD lol prestige 2 in 200 raids lolmake that one make sense niggers
>>54507585930 KD? just an average joe baka ur crazy anon
>>545075859Altyn helmet + level 5 faceshield + Death Shadow Mask + TP-300 earbuds.Can Ukraine please bomb BSG's offices so a game designer that actually knows what he's doing can be in charge of Tarkov?
That guy cheats but you suck so your opinion doesn't matter even if it's correct lol
>>545077236>DURR FIFDEH HOUSEEE YOU HAEV FIFTY HOUSEEEshit for brains nigger cant comprehend the concept of playing on different accounts
Let's see those accounts
>>545077536>buying multiple unheard accountsgood goy
>>545077864the oppositeevery time a friend quits the game i get on their accountsucks for you if you ever paid a dollar for this game lol
>>545072685>>545072775doesnt matter, ive pretty much given up. tried a complete fresh new install, didnt install SVM, just got the dynamic map which was compatible, changed absolutely nothing else and hopped into maps to check if pmcs ever spawned and they never did.no ones talking about this issue and this is a brand new pc thats never had tarkov on it. so i have....no clue. i have never seen a pmc spawn, encountered one, or even seen on the map one spawn and die instantly or anything. they do not exist.
>>545078526You should play in 4:3 stretched to 16:9.
>>545079704You should kill you are self
>>545074891>>545075364>>545075587its always these tryhard guys called something like tyler or cody irl who just HAVE to lie and refuse to accept it when they get called out/caught out.you just KNOW this guy screams when he gets killed and punches holes in his wall. why do they always play these games that just make them explode in anger?always just making shit up as they go. like, NOW he mentions "hes never paid a dollar, just hops onto friends accounts"? not when someone pointed out he had 55 hours and "just got on first time months"? getting on a "different account of someone who just quit" would of "explained that", but this information only came up when someone called him out for buying multiple accounts? yeah no ones buying that.>>545079814>you are selflol. see, too mad to type straight
>exit camped a guy>he dm'd me my addressWhat does this mean
>>545080049You're about to enter the "find out" stage
>>545079887>words words wordsoh my fucking god i dont carei played a few raids and had fun im not genuinely upsetyou are the one taking whats posted here serious dipshit
>>545080049he wants a pizza of course
>i was merely pretendingVery likely mythomaniac.
>>545080557pretending whatthat i was fighting cheaters and that you're retarded? no i really do think thati just had to mention im having fun cause this retarded faggot thinks he psychoanalyzed me in the 2 posts he readwtf do some of you genuinely believe youre that smart
>>545080230Ok buddy it's time to take a break. Seems like you are burning out and tilting.
>>545083952no i wanna play but my friend left so i guess im done too
>>545084549>he did boughted the cuck edition
>>545084549>only a million rubles>a bunch of shit gunseugh
>>545084549>won't play without his boyfriendKWAB
>>545086358thats after i sold some shit, i was below a mili think i started today with like 4so i lost that much even while mostly using stuff i had laying around and not having to buy medsi have no idea how the fuck youre supposed to make enough money to keep playing the game without arena at this point honestly
Those reshala bodyguard pants at the end of the BP look fucking SICK
Will cheating ever get fixed in FPS or is the genre done? It feels like game devs are helplessly behind at this point, while there was a golden age in 2006-17 where it wasn't as common
>>545088062Streamers and normie inflation has changed the landscape so much. Eg. zoomer peer pressure leads to cheating especially when they are watching streamers who cheat themselves (especially Call of Duty streamers...). Plus it seems like Chinese have infested western servers in the past 10 years or so. In China, cheating is accepted and even expected in some cases.There you go
has anyone seen Nikita's personal AKhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCWxF5ATWFw&t=984sGood lord that thing is horrific
>>545088062It fundamentally cannot be fixed entirely, only made more difficult to do, and that requires time and effort that publishers will not allow. Suits are the enemy yet again. Cheat developers are also just plain better at what they do than anti cheat developers. There needs to be a death penalty instituted for cheat development, and a dismembering penalty for using them.
>>545089024Was about to say something like this. I havent run into any chinese, but I don't play on west coast servers. The cheaters which I've encountered and voiped with have all turned out to be zoomers though.
>>545089564literal clown gun
>>545090802I'm from Scandinavia, Chinese are mostly on European servers because that is still 150-200ms to them. Call of Duty is absolutely full of them especially when playing in early morning or so.
>>545087215>i have no idea how the fuck youre supposed to make enough money to keep playing the game without arena at this point honestlykill people, use their stuff and insurance fraud your kitend of the wipe is ass because everyone is running the best gear available. this softcuck event is especially bad because of the dogtag barters and everything on flea
Did anyone get an email saying you "bought the game" recently?I checked my email and it said a couple weeks ago I "bought" the EOD edition.I checked my profile on the site(I didn't click any links in the email), and it doesn't say I made any recent purchases on my account. Was it a fishing email or is BSG doing something weird to get ready for 1.0?
>>545089564cool mag release. i don't share his flareful taste in firearms but i still respect it.
>>545089564We knew this faggot was a mall ninja but this is something else. What a fucking clown. It's no wonder 50% of the weapon attachments in game are cheap tacticool trash.
>>545099067damn i thought nikita was fighting in the frontlines of ukraine and knew his stuff baka
>go to Farm Town for the first time right before a storm>run into a haywire arcade machine, an RPG using boss, and a shitton of other enemies>get to the hillside right as the storm hits>switch to storm gear to harvest some sample from the hillside>didn't bring the containerDamn, this map is big.
Scopes beyond 2x kind of suck to use in Duckov. Powerful in that enemies can't really respond to them but so awkward.
first came the huntfagsthen came the SPTfagsnow we have.. duckovfags
>>545109341any r34 any of it?honestly id be down for some tactical duck porn. already like that duck girl from the zelda series anyways
>>545109341Duckov > TarkovDon't worry, it'll go away once 1.0 is out
>>545109841>tarkov fades away and this general becomes a duckov generallmao that would actually be great
Can they just launch it early? I don't want to play ABI anymore.
>>545080230>these stats>these achievements>that new account>49-9 Marksman on Chop Shop>"friends account"am I being cheaterbaited? what the fuck is happening here
>>545109546I almost forgot where we were for a sec. Thank you. And no. not yet. >For the record I am oddly okay with duckfags. It's like a reskin of pve. I am looking forward to the duckov/tarkov meme and art cross over. I swear this general goes through other games fanboys like a comic books seasons bad guy.
>>545109341We love Duckov here
>>545120386I don't know if the chinks chose their release date at random or specifically around Tarkov's but it's the perfect thing to tide me over until 1.0 (which will change EVERYTHING t. trve believer)
Since 2017 I have chosen BEAR every single wipe
>>545120861Yeah, it'll make it even worse
>>545038784Stop arguing against a rework of the pathetic state of 5.45 guns you fanboyish prick
>>545121001Picrel must be you after being repeatedly atomized by Rogue HMGs!
>>545127954>MUH ROOOOGUESAre USUCs really so retarded they are incapable of comprehending blind spots?
I just realised I don't want to play Tarkov, but I do want to try 1.0, but I don't want to
why are all the russian guns in this game objectively worse than their western counterparts? does nikita not have a single ounce of russian patriotism in his body?
>>545132049>why are all the russian guns in this game objectively worse than their western counterparts?Because it's a realistic game.
>>545132049Because rate of fire trounces every other stat5.56 ammo isn't that much better than 5.45, it's just 800 vs 650 RPM is a huge deal (also the 5.45 AKs bounce bizarrely more than they should)
Thoughts on ABI?
>>545133026meh/10Not bad, not great. Probably the most Tarkov-like Tarkov-like around. In some ways it's a lot more casual, but in other ways it's even sweatier than Tarkov, and it's pretty hard to make money without PvP. Terrible weapon balance and gear is even more extreme of a divider than Tarkov, but it has different playlists for different gear levels.
>>545133026Soulless chinkslop not much to say
>>545135415As opposed to the soulful chinkslop (Duckov).
>>545137306Nah it's still soulless chinkslop that would not exist without Tarkov, you are simply biased because ducks are cute (understandable)
>>545133026I played during the beta/release, so I’m not sure if things have changed since then, but here’s what I thought:I get that it’s a f2p game, and you kinda expect the usual jewery because of that, but the fake bot pmcs and the pity matches to keep you engaged are insulting. I know they claimed they removed pw2 shit, but I really doubt it since that's the only they made money.It was incredibly gay seeing everyone use those shitty thermal goggles every other match. I get that’s the meta in the mobile version, but that's just not for me.Despite all the talking from the devs about cheaters, I was still running into them every now and then.Get ready to fucking suffer if you're solo since teams have the huge advantage of markers above their heads.Overall, it’s a great gateway for getting someone into tarkov because it's free and it has all the hand holding stuff like team markers, extraction markers, in-game map, etc.
>Complete Tarkov Sniper, SBIH, Psycho Sniper>Level 15 bolt actions>Benefits amount to a handful of frames worth of extra speed to switching, reloads, and aimingSkills either need to not exist or they need to matter more. Gun skills are of a negligible usefulness (other than recoil mitigation I guess) but Endurance, Strength, Health and Metabolism are crazy powerful.
Holy fuck, was the audio always this fucked?I can't tell where anyone is. The volume is the same no matter if the guy is right next to me or 50 meters away, footsteps don't even play half the time if the dude is behind you.Might as well mute the game
>>545153719sound occlusion seems really fucky right now, vertical sound is as bad as always, and when you make a bush/falling sound, it doesn’t always play on your client.everything else is working fine for me. which headset are you using?
what are the chances 1.0 wont be delayed.. btw I plan on playing pve
>>545153719And that's like their 50th attempt of unfucking the directional audio in this game. Instead of owning the fact that their developers can't code and simply removing the overcomplicated audio system in favor of something simple but reliable, they keep pretending that they know what they are doing purely out of hubris.Same shit when they tried to fix the clipping issues with headgear, failed at that, but instead of realizing that gameplay is more important than aesthetics they have simply made a ton of headgear incompatible with each other because there can't be clipping issues if players can't use the gear in the first place, thus the "problem has been solved".
>>545154731Release the 15th is a done deal, whether or not the release will be a disaster is another thing.
What did they mean by this?
>>545159018It's pretty easy to understand if your IQ is above 60.
Nahhh bro what is this dude
>>545159771>top 4 streams are reponsible for 66% of total viewsMany such cases, it's unironically over once those people go offline.
>>545159771>check tarkov streamers>see thisWhy are they like this?
>>545160445I only see a demand in the marketDucks will be nothing compared to anime extraction
>>545133026Their armor system is completely retarded and they did the most retarded thing imaginable in a game like this by making it so if you are in a squad and get killed you don't die but you go DBNO and can be revived like it's a fucking BR game. Congrats you've downed a guy but he knows where you are and can see you and still be an information feed.
>>545160959Arc raiders has that too, instant drop if a game does that for me
>>545159771We're all on ARCSurprised the game manage to get 4 digits tbqh
>>545132049This bad boy is about to change all that
>>545154514I'm using audio technica ath m50x, I can easily track people through walls just by sound in most other games.
>>545153719They've never fixed it whatsoever.Its been in the game for over 6 years.Its a fucking joke, it's one of the worst audio systems I've witnessed in a game.
>>545163995I mean inside the game. is it just range estimation you have issues with? because headsets fuck with how loud stuff is at distanceI'm always running comtac 5/6s, so I can easily hear a dude walking around me, but even when using the worst headset there's like a 5m difference from com6
>>545169924I usually run Sordins. Yeah I just can't estimate the range to save my life, it's even worse when there are multiple footsteps. There have been a few times where I thought the dude was just about to round the corner so I ended up prefiring the wall.
>>545170948try using liberators and see if you feel any difference, my audio only gets really fucky on streets
>>545153719always was
>>545135415>soulless slopIf ABI is slop then I wonder what you consider tarkov
>>545194264Unironically the opposite of slop.
>>545194623Tarkov has literally gotten the bare minimum updates for years now. Basically abandoned waiting for a last ditch steam cashgrab before closing up forever. Just like Dark and Darker did. The guns and animations are objectively dated shit with so many graphical bugs resulting in game breaking interactions
>>545151878SBiH has a 200k rouble reward. It would not be unreasonable for it to have a 12 million rouble reward.
>>545194264you're confusing slop with jankjank can be shit but have soulslop can look good and shiny with all the bells and whistles but still be soulless dogshit >>545195346>game breaking interactionsname 2
>>545196939>you're confusing slop with jankNo I'm not. They've done the bare minimum for years and you defend because you spent hundreds on sewage.
>>545197289>No I'm not.but you aret. different anon
>>545156736But how will it affect us PVEchads... ?Oh wait, I can remember. >not being able to patch the game>game takes longer than normal to patch>not being able to log in for 2 days>the scavs will probably walk through walls
>>545197557your tiny ape brain can't see past the shiny bells and whistles that the cheap knockoff tarkovs dangle in front of your face, like hunt :)
>>545195354I agree. It's tedious and quite expensive to do, unless you're a mosinGOD.
Remember the update where shooting a shotgun or pistol would tilt your head upwards?
>>545200812That looked so stupid. I'm so glad they removed that!
Wow I'm so glad ADADAD spam is back! That's my favourite thing in Tarkov!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>545202629why is it back?? did they remove uhhh gravity... mobility.. what was it called?
Just shoot their cocks little bro they can't wiggle those.
>>545203649Inertia, and technically no but actually yes
>>545206108>>545203649Most tryhards are using AutoHotKey script to automate circle strafing. That's a FACT.A->S->D->W->A...Then have a toggle button to enable normal A-D movement.
>>545209396There's absolutely no way they bother doing that. Circle strafing is braindead easy.
>>545206108Yeah, the threshold before inertia is noticeable is such a high weight now that you really have to try to get there, you aren't doing it with an AK, six mags, and a armor rig.
>>545209396No. In Arena currently, which is allegedly intended to be what they're looking to change the main game to, you can just ADAD spam like the old days. Zero brain required.
>>545209989>you can just ADAD spam like the old dayswrong. you can chance direction with minimal inertia ONCE. if you spam ADAD, your character just does little mini steps. it's not abusable like the old system and you really only hurt your aim because of the sway.>which is allegedly intended to be what they're looking to change the main game tolotta words for "it came to me in a dream"
>>545209396>That's a FACT.prove it
>>545213425Sir this is a Duckov general
>>545213425oh shit you right lmao
"Five hundred Cigarettes"
just saw some guy get out of bounds on fort. he wasn't cheating either. anyone know how?
>>545222764Too late anon, I got your IP. Hacking into the mainframe right now... I'm in.not bad but I'm not a fan of tucked shirts, shame there's STILL no matching pants to that top
>>545159018What did they mean by this?
>>545231406yea I'll have to pay 60 Dollars for a dedicated matching MC set.
Skills killed the game, there was no need for leveling up with perma sj6 over the employed when gear already does that
>>545236254>Skills killed the game, there was no need for leveling up with perma sj6 over the employed when gear already does thatSkills have been around for so long that I don't even know when they were added. Before I started playing.Personally, I think they're just poorly balanced. Physical skills are very powerful and a bit easier to level while combat skills are hard to level and weak. Looting and management skills just make your income better, essentially.
>>545236813Instant looting is absolutely useful in combat and keeping you alive where a low level would dieEven the tiniest reduction in recoil is an outcome altering difference
>>545237426If you're having to scavenge a gun off a dead guy (PMC or scav) in order to survive a combat encounter you probably weren't going to win anyway.I have level 10 assault rifles now and if I were to lose those levels I probably wouldn't be able to tell much difference. It's the difference between running an RC2 or a Mini Monster on your M4.
>>545238421Who said anything about scavenging guns? I'm talking solely Skills
So how are steamfags going to play tarkov arena? If they were going to buy it directly from Nikita or off Tim Sweeneys China shop they would have done it by now. Imagine the seethe when steamfags realize they're locked out of the best AR-15 in the game because Tim Sweeney gave Nikita Saudi Arabia bucks
>>545239631who cares?
>>545209436Having a script execute it for you so you can spam lean is quite common. Probably a lot more scripts than just that one too, it's a sort of grey area and it's not like BSG will be able to detect it.
>>545239631I'm not playing Arena even if I get a free blowjob and coffee for every game played.
new 9x18mm and 20ga guns when?
>>545247375New netcode when?New audio system when?New gun balance when?New quest system when?Complete rebalance of skills when?Who gives a fuck about weapons? There's already millions of them, the game is shitty to play and full of fundamental problems they should've fixed years back.
Arc Raiders has really hammered home just how fucking bad Tarkov's audio is
>>545248782why bother asking for things that will never happen?
>>545248782>when?LITERALLY in 2 weeks.
>>545247375>new 9x18mmFUCKING WHEN?
>>545249008Play Hunt Showdown, its even better than ARC, its fucking crazy how good things can be when people give a fuck.
Coming from ABI, does this game have the same armor mechanics? Will I put a whole clip to someone's back only for them to turn around and kill me because I didnt spend a million bucks on my magazine?
>>545254380Kinda yeah
>>545254380BSG did a rare back in early version 0.14, when they introduced the armor plate system, but then a bunch of man-children had a mental breakdown because Scavs had finally become dangerous in this game, so the devs pulled a complete reversal and made armor plates fully envelop the player's torso, so now we have both hard and soft armor layered on top of each other which basically turned everyone into walking tanks.As if that wasn't enough, the bitching has continued and the neck hitbox was eventually changed to deal damage to our torso instead of our head, which has increased the time to kill even further, and the cherry on top of the cake happened recently when BSG added some bullshit new items (exclusive to those who own Tarkov: Arena) like the TEP-300 earbuds which enables players to wear level 5 helmet + level 5 face shield + level 2 mask without losing their ability to hear well.Things are worse in ABI because the game has no wipes and there's zero gear progression, so everyone can immediately equip high level gear, but late-wipe Tarkov is just the exact same kind of bullshit with players that just won't die even after getting shot in the torso 30 times.
listening to the game soundtrack while drawinggod I really need this update out already man. I am dying of thirst over here. I just want to go get domed on Customs for the 832nd time already
>>545253794The Bizon would be a perfect KEDR alternative, and the PPS-43 would be a perfect PPSh-41 alternative
>>545253794you just know this shit's gonna have 0 ergo
>>545253794The helical magazine would probably be locked behind level 4 traders or some shit, rendering it completely obsolete, so who cares.
>>545260206It would be much better than the Kedr, double the magsize and dovetail mount. ROF would probably be lower though.
>no new 1.0 sneak peeks from Nikita for almost 2 weeksFUUUUUUUCK MAN post something already
>>545262231Two solutions:- they're holding back on the largest EFT content update ever- 1.0 will be a nothingburgerWhich way gamer man?
>>545262231I want to see an M16A2 or an SVD teaser already goddamn itThat being said I'm guessing we'll see a big trailer at the one week mark and some promo art releases. I wish they'd do more of the weapon renders, they look so damn good
>>545263567>translucent magsLet me guess, never ever?
>you can crank FOV up to 90 in ArenaHave they even fixed the vignetting issues that made optics objectively worse when using FOV higher than 62 or whatever?
>>545262563>there's like 300 "confirmed" guns that still haven't been addedwe'll be lucky if we get 10 of these in 1.0 lmao
>>545262563>- 1.0 will be a nothingburgerIt will be this one. The most memorable gameplay change will be traders being in-game NPCs like Lightkeeper.
>>545264038>HK G11lmaoTarkov desperately needs more cold war shit and less tacticool meta lasers
>>545264125>traders being in-game NPCs like Lightkeeperthis would unironically ruin the game

>unlock rhodesian camo>can't put it on the SA-58They had ONE JOB
>>545277148Why are only certain guns allowed camo anyway?
>>545279096I'm assuming every gun will be paintable for 1.0 but I wouldn't be surprised if it was still limited.
>>545277148i am greatly saddened by this information
>>545264772Oh boy another rifle from the 70s that no one will use after the first week of wipe! Yippie! Ammo that can penetrate anything is locked behind 30 quests and level 4 traders if it's available at all? WOO HOO!
>>545297497Ever get tired of being a grumpy faggot?
>>545253794I don't understand who is asking for this, 9x18 is genuinely awful to use outside of wipe day.
>>545297497>>545297683>more weapons BAD
>>545297641I would desperately like BSG to stop being chimpanzees and adding new guns that no one but autists care about and actually make this game run on reasonable specs. No game released in 2017 should require the most modern PC parts on the market to run all of its maps well. Especially if it looks as shit as Tarkov does. If they could get better servers too, that would be nice.
>>545298004Yes anon, those retarded 3D designers and animators at BSG should get their shit together and optimize the game.
>>545298227Each round in your magazine is rendered and an entity in the game, streets runs likes shit because every single used condom on that map is eating RAM and CPU threads for zero fucking reason, LPVOs crater your frame rate despite PiP rendering getting pulled off in source engine with some wizardry over 11 years ago. It's bullshit and we all know it.
>>545298890Okay but what do 3D artists or animators have to do with any of that?I'm not saying the game is optimized, I'm saying the people who make guns have nothing to do with that, retard.
>>545299097>Okay but what do 3D artists or animators have to do with any of that?A lot actually, you optimize games by simplifying models, trimming unnecessary logic/rendering of objects, and generally not allowing technical debt to form in this early stage of creation. It's why games like ARC raiders or ABI can look similar to Tarkov but run much better on "worse" systems.
I honestly feel 0 hype for the releaseHalf the shit they talked about seem like a downgrade, other half I do not careLost all my trust in BSG I think, got 6k hours out of it atleast
arena matchmaking is so fucking retarded, STOP putting me into 700 ping chinese servers i only have EU selected you nigger ass game
>>545300248Arena is not really worth playing atm, either they need to revert inertia in main game or bring back inertia to arena. I hate inertia as a system but one game can't have it while the other does not.
>>545300491>Arena is not really worth playing atmidk about you but ima be dripped the fuck out on 1.0 >but one game can't have it while the other does not.what mental gymnastics are you preforming to reach this conclusion? they are entirely different games. does your crippling autism prevent you from understanding that the fucking TDM style competitive FPS might have more of a justification to drop the movement penalties as opposed to the raid style extraction shooter just because they share the same universe??
>>545297858The G11 belongs in Tarkov even less than the M7/Sig SPEAR.It'll be either some dogshit gun with only fictional attachments and ammo or BSG won't even bother giving it fictional crap, leaving it forever gimped like so many other guns in this game.
>>545301479I want one to serve as practice for the other basically
>>545301552The spear they can be excused on because that piece of shit was being hyped to all hell and people unfamiliar with the practical use of guns or basic scientific laws thought it was gonna be a real cool gun.
>>545301712it still does, it's just not a 1:1 anymore. can still WASD strafe in arena, just can't ADAD in tark. if you can wrap your brain around that when you switch between games it's no problem.
Pestily... Aqua...
Does emu tarky have a website or something?
>>545304254what flavor of stalker slop is that? and SPT is the term you're looking for
>>545306627>he said the initialismuh oh, time for another melty incoming!
>>545303201how the mighty have fallen
>>545306627It's road to vostok
>>545301552what, you don't want another completely useless caliber used by a single shitty meme gun to clog up the game even more? you're hysterical
>>545308051oh shit i totally forgot about that game. did they flesh out the demo enough to be worth trying again?
>>545308376It's just a series of retarded jumpscares from NPCs that don't make any noise
>>545308121There needs to be shit weapons for scavs. I don't mind stuff like this. Plus it's hilarious 1 shotting niggas with the AP toz shells on factory.
The worst part is that they're not going to be getting to work on a proper tarkov sequel - one built from the ground up with no spaghetti code using everything they've learned from making this one - anytime soon. Last interview Nikita was talking about taking a break and leaning toward doing a single player horror game next. Not to mention I'll need a new pc to even meet the recommended specs and won't be able to justifiably afford one for the foreseeable futureThough on the bright side, everybody will get make fun of and laugh at nikkita for releasing such a bug-ridden janky game after 10 years of development. Also, spt development will likely be easier going forward once bsg is no longer adding core gameplay changes.
>>544878865Hey everyone, I've been a dedicated Tarkov player for years, but I've finally reached my breaking point. I can no longer, in good conscience, support a game that so blatantly erases and excludes 50% of the global population. Where are the women? Think about it. Women serve with distinction in special forces and military units all over the world. To suggest that not a single woman could survive in the Norvinsk region is not only absurd, it's actively misogynistic. This lack of representation is a form of violence against women and non-binary gamers who are told, yet again, that they don't belong in this space. If you're offended by this post, maybe you should examine why the idea of sharing your virtual battlefield with a woman threatens you so much.
>>545311235you should donate your loot to him by running in front of his bullets
>>545310985>Reminder that nobody other than bsg will ever top tarkovYeah anon, we know. That's why we're all still here
>>545311478You saw nothing, goy
>>545310985you want women because youre a whipped cuck. i want women so i can jerk off. we are not tthe same
>>545310985Actually, I want women in Tarkov so I can perform violence on them.
Record player count, huh nikita? After the aids ridden """femboy""" wiped my other 4 team mates within 20 seconds I immediately left this match. These "people" should kill themselves.
>>545314854>ranks other than D+You ran into mentally ill, it happens.
>>545314995>ran into them again immediately the next gameYea, nah, this game is dead as fuck. I'll try again later.
>>545315170>>ran into them again immediately the next gameYeah no shit you're playing some meme gamemode just play FFA like a normal person.
>>545315293Had no money to reroll dailies since I bought the 9mm vector, the game fucked me.
>>545315356Also, the entirety of last wipe I would find teamfight matches with different players from start to finish. This wipe is just dead and gay because Nikita is a stupid nigger.
>>545264038we're probably going to see like 30-40 guns at a minimum in 1.0 actually given all the amount of teasers we've seen and them saying they hold about 3-4 bits of content for every 1 bit of content they've put in the past few patchesmy kind of educated guess at what's in 1.0 based on WIP shit we've seen and also 'logical' guesses based on attainability to BSG and the types of guns they prefer (mall ninja shit kek)>Battle Arms Development Tanker>Chiappa Rhino 60DS (and other calibre variants)>AK-308>AK-15>AK-19>Colt M16A1/A2/A4>Marlin 1895 MXLR>Winchester 1895 RU export model>DSA RPD>CGNL 5.45>RPK/RPK-74/RPK-200>FN M249>Sig M250>Contract Wars fictional gats (AS VAL Mod 3/4, TKPD Storm/Sniper, RPKT, Beretta Enforcer)>SVD/SVDM/SVDK>Glock 21>vz. 61>AN-94>GSh-18/PMM (take your pick, gotta be a useless Russian pistol included somewhere :^))>FN EGLM>GP-30/34>M79>M320
what the fuck did they do to this game i just updated it why am i repeatedly getting one shot to thorax by shotguns first of all they were good people just sucked and didnt know how to use them, they didnt need a buffsecond how many fucking one shot to thorax weapons does the game needfirst it was the whole point of using lapua, then they made lapua useless by putting in the new bolty rounds, and now those are made those useless since you can one tap with ap-20its so shit to play againstalso why does scout have more armor than assault now do they have any idea what theyre doing with these classes
>>545319961Don't forget the music now spazzes out at the end of the round for no reason
>>545319961AP-20 is only on pump shotguns, there was no reason to use pump shotguns over semi autos before AP-20 got buffed.
>>545319961I love the AP-20 pump shotties but whether they're viable or not depends on whatever shitfuckistan server you get put on for the match.
>>545320734>>545321357thing is some pumps cycle really fast anyway so it doesnt matter, this is gay cause at least with bolties you get properly punished for missing your nuke while this is way too spammable + you can wear lvl 5 while using itoh well good thing i'm not grinding this fag pass
>>545322126Just fucking try it for yourself, you may find yourself having this thing called "fun" for once.
>>545322126if you're complaining about shotguns you're a fucking giga shitter
>>545322126They really aren't as good as you think you are because it still has to be a thorax shot to 1-tap level 4 armors and even still it isn't guaranteed. Against enforcers and other scouts with tier 5 armors they're completely fucked.
Reminder that he's got 60 hours played, you can ignore his opinions.
>>545322313nah its fun to one shot people of course, ive used the fuck out of bolties for that reasonplaying against it is another thing though, especially when they're not even marksman and doing italso nice that they changed scopes, feels like shit now very cool>>545322776my first game in literally every single death was to one so that's what got me seething, maybe they're not that bad and i got unlucky

I also do not like skills. Progression is fine just limit it to shit I can drag out of a raid. I don't want to spend valuable gaming time doing digital squats lmao shit just ain't fun.

>>545376023You think this is some kind of own? HP ammo would still be a much more viable choice than it is now if we had realistic plates *and* hurtboxes
>>545376148Legit it's funny that that's what it comes down to a majority of the time. You hear these retards say 'skill issue' when someone complains about their ammo not being able to pass around a tiny plate carrier that barely even covers their vitals, but most of the time when you saw the streamers and such die when plate hitboxes were a thing, they would die to stupid as fuck plays because they expected their GEAR to facetank and save them instead of actually moving smartly, flanking, not ignoring stuff like scavs, etc.They just want to bully new players and playerscavs without any retaliation, that's it. You have to 'prove' your worth by either finding a good plate carrier by complete chance or sticking your head in enough toolboxes to make enough money off the flea to buy their standard for good gear (all metafag shit), and anything below that can fuck off and die. And that shit is so boring, because it ends up making 90% of guns in the game useless and the only way to fix it is introduce meme gigaAP bubba rounds and say 'well now you can headtap them if you find the ammo!' BORING.
>>545367962>out of all the BEAR fits they could pick they recolor the ugliest looking oneFuck, man.
>>545379190KLMK summer suit is kino, anon, you shut your bitch ass upI'm actually drawing a boss design right now based around KLMK and 90s Russian gearthat being said I don't think the Smog camo fits the summer suit well, especially without pants to match, but we'll see. I guess it's finally something that matches the Redut armour and the Tarzan rig (I mostly use the latter as a cope with African insurgent kits as a replacement for not having a M81 rig in the game yet)
>>545379735I admit it looks better in your images, but I just think it doesn't look very good ingame.
>10 years since Tarkov was revealed to the public todayHow we feeling, bros?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPlnHe9l34E
>>545379914Trailer is excellent. I remember I tried to buy Tarkov back in '17 or so but my email account didn't go through because of their shitty system... Was also put off by the fact it wasn't on Steam.
>>545367962>make preorder bonuses>don't let people preorder on SteamNikita hates money now?
>>545381603It's just the usual Nigita being such a greedy fuck he doesn't want to give Gayben his 30% cut and trying to funnel people to giving him a 100% cut through FOMO.
>>545384751Gomenasai, Nigita-san, I should've known it's yet another one of your masterful gambits...
>half the stuff isn't even in the game>release in a few dayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a70_QmnjhCU&t=178sIf only the game was more like the trailers.
>>545381603Nikita loves money but he's too stupid to make the most money, which is extremely ironic.An example of that is how they refused to give existing players free Steam keys (which they could have generated at no cost), because they want to make extra money with impulsive players who will buy the game twice for no reason whatsoever.The problem is that this will lead to a situation where the overwhelmingly majority of players will be using the standalone client of Tarkov to play the game, so on Steam it will look like Tarkov was a flop due to the apparent low number of concurrent players.On top of that, almost everyone buying the game on Steam will be complete new players with no idea of what game Tarkov really is, which will lead to a ton of "single issue" negative reviews like bad performance or lack of tutorial.The result is that Tarkov will inevitably have negative reviews on Steam, which will greatly hurt their sales, but BSG would be able to mitigate that problem by publicly showing a huge amount of concurrent players on Steam in case they had given us free Steam keys.Since they have not done it, that means the amount of money they will make with players buying the game twice won't even count as a rounding error compared to all the lost revenue caused by new players being repelled by bad reviews and low number of players on Steam.
>>545385886It looks so much fucking better I wish the game was like this but the screeching from "muh visibility muh gamma in nvidia settings" sweats would be never ending.
>>545386090It will get negative reviews because its a shit game. What else is there to it?
>9/10>Matching...>9/10>Matching...>10/10>Returning to matchmaking with high priority>Matching...>9/10>Matching...>10/10>Returning to matchmaking with high priority>Matching (07:48)
>>545357770I don't mind teamfight when I'm not against the gayest sweatiest faggots this game has to offer.
>>545392136Yeah, but there is a big difference between having negative reviews on Steam for a game with over 250,000 concurrent players versus a game with only 30,000 concurrent players or less.For someone interested in playing Tarkov for the first time, seeing a big concurrent player count would encourage them to buy the game despite the negative reviews, but because the bulk of players will be using the standalone client, it will look like Tarkov has a lot less players than it actually does.
>>545394862No one gives a shit.
>>545386090they dont want you to know how many people actually play the game ...
>>545385886looks 90% the same
>>545397704You're blind, get your eyes checked.
>>545386090it's gonna be a shitshow either way, there's no world where tarky gets anything above mixed on steam, even if they gave everyone steam keysthe game is absolutely fucking hostile to new players for a multitude of reasons
>>545398545or you're blinded by a nostalgia for something that was never real..
>>545399626>the game is absolutely fucking hostile to new players for a multitude of reasonsGround Zero is gonna be fucking brutal for weeks.
>>545399626I can't wait for the Timmy slaughter. I'm going to enjoy it.
>>545393049check this out1/6
>>545402436>>545402673I feel bad for every timbo that goes into the release blind without an experienced friendI can already see the reviews about the scav snipers, mines, the bathroom claymore, the gl, etcthose people are going straight to pve after their first 10-20 deaths
>>545408816I can't wait to see how many timmies are running around with basic M4's and PACA vests.
>>545402673Apparently there won't even be a tutorial in 1.0 according to what Nikita said at the Tokyo Game Show, and he only vaguely mentioned some stuff about providing additional supplies to players at the beginning (possibly if they have died too much, but that's just a guess).There's also the fact that everyone will be forced to queue into Ground Zero until they complete the new quest that unlocks the next map in sequence (Streets), so Timmies will be stuck playing on a tiny map shared with 11 other PMCs (half which will spawn right next to them).The Timmies who don't quit immediately after going bankrupt because they died too much, and who somehow made a miraculous transition to Streets, will then be locked to a map that runs at 30 FPS, so they will for sure all quit the game at that point.
>>545411625are they really going to unlock fucking streets after GZ instead of customs?
>>545412196While there's no way to tell for sure, everything indicates that the map unlocking will happen sequentially and will following the "Transit Map" of the game, so it's Ground Zero > Streets > Interchange > Customs > (Factory>Woods / Reserve) > Lighthouse > Shoreline.The reason why I say this is because Nikita mentioned the inability to select any map at the beginning of the wipe as the reason why they are setting the boss spawn rates at 75%.The logic seems to be that, with locked maps, there will be a lot more competition between players for the loot dropped from bosses since players won't become dispersed between many maps like it happened in the hardcore wipe where everyone could take the transit exfils to any map.It's also worth noting that the loot from bosses will be nerfed at the beginning, so we won't see a bunch of players wearing level 6 armor and Taguilla's masks on the first few days of the wipe.

>>545443813I was referring to active ones>tfw Tarkov Wipe 6 never ever
>>545367962>a bunch of trashCan he at least give me more storage space or something?
>>545385886honestly there's not much there missing that I'd actually want. Rainy weather and lighting under nighttime looks better but that's about it. Takedowns are whatever, third person is dumb as fuck, procedural door/container interaction animations would be nice to have back but understandable why they were dropped given the shoddiness of them in pre-alpha.>>545386090>An example of that is how they refused to give existing players free Steam keys (which they could have generated at no cost)This isn't even remotely true, Valve only guarantees up to 5000 Steam keys free on launch of a new game and anything past that is case-by-case.Valve is going to see Tarkov having sold millions of copies and be like 'okay fuck it where's our cut then?'. They're not going to let both BSG and the players bypass that 30% cut when it could go to them. Assuming Tarkov's sold around 5 million copies over its life (it's honestly probably more, I wouldn't be surprised if it was getting close to the 10m mark), calculate the average sale to be $123 as the mean of all the editions, you're looking at nearly TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS that Valve could've had for free if the game was sold exclusively on Steam to start with.Long story short, to anyone with a brain it was pretty obvious neither BSG OR Valve were going to be interested in migrating all BSG launcher users over to Steam for free.>>545415810that's the Russian Smog camo, not Rhodesian Brushstroke OR DPM, you LARPing Rhodie faggot>>545425509>>545425895a bunch of other channels got copyright struck at the same time so it probably got reversed so quick because of thatbut yes, fuck Google

>>545076376>Altyn helmet + level 5 faceshield + Death Shadow Mask + TP-300 earbuds.kek just shoot legs bro
>>545449660Just shut the fuck up and stop saying shit you have no idea of:https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/homeSteam doesn't give a fuck about how many copies you sell through your own platform or third party stores. One of the only few rules is that there must be price parity across platforms.In addition, developers can generate pretty much unlimited Steam keys to give away to existing players, and many games have done it in the past, including Path of Exile 2 in the image I have attached.The only reason why we aren't getting free keys is because Nikita knows you're all a bunch of paypigs who keep funding his wardrobes full of $700 designer suits, so now he wants you to buy the game a second time on Steam.
youd be fucking retarded to wanna play this game with steam open with how bad it runs
is the steam version just going to launch the bsg launcher
>>545459568most likely, kinda like war thunder I'm guessing
>>544878865Game went truly pay-to-win. New items have been added to the game which can only be accessed by buying Battlestate's other game (Arena) and doing that games battlepass. These items are the best in the game and give serious advantages. Things may be balanced at some point, who knows but it's insane that it's even been added in the first place. It's even more concerning that they thought this such a non-issue, that they did this right before 1.0 release. Makes me wonder how bad things could get from now on.
>>545459568Because BSG is so lazy they will force people to create a separate BSG account and use the launcher anyway.I will eat my own shit if they have integrated steam account support without needing to create anything else.
>>545470386>if they have integrated steam account supportI'm really between them not giving a shit and sheer incompetence with this whole steam fiasco
Steam will launch the launcher and that's all. Everything else will be done through the launcher. Several gachatrash games on Steam already do this. This also means that just installing the game will prevent most people from getting a refund.

>>545516441>Fuck you I want to LARP as Sam Fisher.Making me think of an old webm
>>545529795fish in a barrel
>>545529909It's how the game was back then *sigh*
>>545529795God old Tarkov recoil was so disgusting. I hate purely visual recoil so much
>>545531740Remember when they completely fixed recoil for a wipe and then un did it for whatever reason
>>545529795old factory was so much better they ruined every map i like in this game
>>545533051Nu-Factory is objectively superior to old factory. Old factory was nothing more than a glorified retard pit. The only truly bad part about new factory is the fucky lighting.
Is Customs better than before?
>>545534264I like it, it doesn't have as many narrow chokepoints as old Customs.
>>545534264define "before"it's not the linear 2 lane map it was 5 years ago
>>545534264It's different, not better.
>>545534264It's still chokepoint-heavy but it now feels like you can path around hot areas and actually get to an extract rather than how it used to be.The flare extract, especially allows you to dip quickly after killing Reshala.
>>545546609How do you even see or know, if it's a boss or not when using ironsights or just going around some area? This is what I am struggling with. I know the bosses always spawn around some specific areas but most of the time it's a crapshoot.
>arena>fire a p90 at a guy>from close range>for 2 seconds>he turns around>(head, eyes) me>4 hits vs 8 hits????
>>545549684Bosses and their guards have unique looks, Reshala's guards always wear blue camo pants for example, so if you see a group with matching blue pants you know it's them. Bosses themselves also have unique voicelines so if you've heard Scavs for long enough you can tell bosses and Scavs apart. You can throw a grenade and listen for voicelines, it's usually the boss who will say something about grenades.
>>545549684>using ironsYeah don't do that if you're boss huntingAnyways bosses have different voicelines, their guards have specific outfits, and they're all significantly more aggressive and accurate shooters than generic scavs, better geared as well; two of Reshala's guards when I killed him yesterday had faceshields that laughed off my SOST ammo.
>>545550292Reshala is still one of the easiest I think.What I really hate is the Goons because they will track and home in on you across the map.
>>545550561>What I really hate is the Goons because they will track and home in on you across the map.Yeah. I had Birdeye chase me from Chalet all the way to the beach on Lighthouse once.
>>545550561>Reshala is still one of the easiest I think.Yeah he's a pushover, but I think that's by design, he's literally coded to run away and have his buddies defend him lmao.>What I really hate is the Goons because they will track and home in on you across the map.Yeah that's fucking retarded, best you can do is get their aggro and wait around a corner so you have like half a second to headshot Big Pipe and Knight, then you have to toss some nades to look for Birdeye if he doesn't push after them.>>545550683Most fucked up I've seen was Birdeye chasing a guy from Scav bunker all the way to spine rock.
>>545524931dont we have some autist who loves pve in this thread? something about 600m rubles. How do you even play that shit long enough to do that?
>>545549684Some of it is just map knowledge.On Customs, Reshala could be at Dorms, New Gas, or Fortress.On Shoreline, Sanitar could be at the Resort (probably the center), the wharf, or his backyard, behind the locked cottage.
>>545550005it's the fucking netcode. you're 0.1s in the future compared to your character
>>545552525>>545550005Because he was moving fast, he had the connection advantage. It sounds retarded but it's how it works.Your shots needed to go through 200ms latency to reach him (because he's probably a cunt) and you died.This happens in other games too.
Not gunna lie boys, after playing a few different shooters recently I'm starting to hate the way Tarkov guns feel.
>GTA 6 delayed againFor fucks sake, Tarkov 1.0 better be good I'm not in the mood for more disappointments.
>>545555424They handle bad to dangle the promise of handling good after enough grindResult: neet game
Why does the launcher not even mention 1.0?
>>545557139There was a 1.0 post link in the launcher since 1.0 got announced.
>>545557965>1.0 won't have some kind of cs gas that we can toss into rooms and wear gas masks to mitigateWould be so fun to smoke out rats
>>545557139BSG is really good at communicating information towards the players.
>>545557965No longer
>>545561426Yes it's kinda redundant now that there's a wishlist link with a release date.
>>545503146M16 series is almost guaranteed with 1.0, we've seen at the bare minimum an A1 upper, 20 round STANAGs and some MK12 parts, would be weird to add those and not the rest of the M16A1 parts, and then it'd be weird not to add the rest of the series considering it's minor technical details that still lead to it all being interchangeable (unlike the M60 line for example which is practically a whole new model with different animations every time)Considering we're getting a modified SVDK as part of the Contract Wars shit I'd be surprised if we don't get the SVD, SVDK and SVDM on their own.The rest though, who knows. RPK line and M249 are pretty likely I think, but the rest is up to how much they want to dripfeed post-release content. I've been hoping they'd go back to a .12-..12.8 release schedule of smaller more frequent content updates.>>545531740It's genuinely baffling going back and watching old clips now that we've had this for 2 years and wondering how we dealt with it for so long. I was never more excited to use a stock M4 as soon as I saw the testing on ETS.>>545534264I think it plays about as good as it did pre-expansion, honestly the few new buildings don't matter too much, most people avoid going through them anyway, you barely even see people sniping out of them. Call me a schizo but I actually had a dream a couple of months before .16 about the next patch having weapon paints and a Customs expansion that had rafters under that sniper area; a RUAF guard I killed dropped a Tapco SKS painted with EMR. I am a Tarkov oracleThat being said I still think the expansion work should have went to Big Red side instead, there's still sweet fuck all over there other than a few containers/repair kit spawns in the garages and the safe and PC blocks inside the actual warehouse.
