Patching is apparently done, according to their twitter. Edit: And it is working. Lots of new icons and stuff. Grenade case requires some new things. ShowTime fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Kikas posted:Yeah there are new barter items and recepies with them right? Haven't seen many new recipes, but the big new item to barter for seemed to be the grenade box. I know I want one eventually. Can't remember what it took because servers already went down again for backend issues. Edit: Also forgot about the new backpack, which takes fleece and alpaca and poo poo, plus a paracord. Its a no reduced movement 35 slot that looks like a medic pack. It's great but it's only gonna get used by super try hards. It was already on the flea for 1mil+ ShowTime fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Mar 12, 2020 |

I'd really dig a deathmatch mode. I can't seem to shake my CSGO spray patterns and I don't get enough PVP exposure to drop them.

someone asked about the possibility of getting a refund since the game wouldn't run on their system even though they were above the min specs and bsg said "your access to the game has been terminated since you rejected the terms of service" even though the person said nothing about the tos at all. bsg is so hosed up

not the first time it's happened, probably won't be the last apparently this is SOP for BSG when people request refunds because EULA says no refunds and by requesting a refund you're breaking the EULA, which is pretty not legal in most places (including the EU) but they do it anyway lmao cool company

Inspector_666 posted:You can only put medical items in it, right? It seems pretty useless except as a MedCase replacement. I didn't think that was the case. I just assumed it was the S-Tier bag since it requires a ton of rubles to purchase. It mentions "various specialized tools and medicines". It doesn't seem to have any indication it only holds meds. That would also be incredibly weird, but maybe in the future. When you can heal other people in a squad and someone is the "designated medic" and holds/gathers all the meds. Might be cool to see implemented later on. Edit: also, yes, it appears servers are back up (for now). I wouldn't recommend really playing though, at least for an hour until things seem to stabilize. Last run I did on a scav before it went down made me lose everything, including a pretty profitable key. ShowTime fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Do an offline Factory raid, set scavs to the hardest option and turn on tagged and cursed - this is the closest you'll get to a deathmatch! You won't get to fight other players but at least you can practice recoil etc. On that note, I feel like I remember hearing about a planned squad vs squad arena mode or something?

They should definitely indicate that specially if so. Right now people are probably wasting their resources on it because that seems like a really dumb option for a bag unless "various specialized tools" encompasses a lot of poo poo. Also, the changes so far feel weird but I like them. I saw some scavs on Reserves with special red sweaters and hoods. I wonder what they are.

I'm starting to think the devs are deliberately making the game worse just to drive people away so that they don't have to 'waste' any more money on adding/fixing/whatevering servers. Nikita must be going "Look at all these suckers. They bought our game thinking there was an actual game here and we got their money and they're not playing anymore but we still have the money LOL" Saw this video a few days ago and it seems to fit them perfectly. Don't know what the source video is from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7swpHaSaaI8

There is an actual game it's just not the one you want. It's the game Nikita wants and is designing. It's always been a hyper sim nightmare, it's just as more of it gets implemented less people can deal with it.

If you think of Nikita as a halfassed Chris Roberts, most things about Tarkov make a lot of sense. He's not an outright scammer like Roberts, but he's very much like Roberts in that his goal is fundamentally poo poo and he's constantly having new bad ideas that make his deeply flawed game more flawed instead of fixing it. There are a lot of things about Tarkov that anyone interested in critically examining game design can look at and go "well yeah, that's clearly a terrible idea" but that's not relevant to Nikita. The point is not to entertain people, the point is to live out his fantasy of creating the lovely game he dreamed up at age 13 with absolutely zero consideration for or concession to the way the game actually plays. The more time passes and the more money he gets, the more he's going to pursue his lovely idea, rather than actually finishing the game people want, or even the game they think they want (not that Nikita can conceptually understand the difference, because he clearly has spent exactly zero seconds of his life thinking critically about game design).

I tend to agree that when you have enough money, you can do what you want rather than what sells but so far, he's done something kind of unique that's working. He just has grand loving ideas that might not play out. So on Reserves (maybe everywhere?) you now get a pop up saying "scavs have arrived with loot". I don't know if that means the raiders or a brand new type of scav. I think the train maybe arrived after that but I was on the phone and couldn't pay super attention.

SquirrelGrip posted:That’s your scav box Oh... First time. I just assumed it was something new they added because a patch just happened and I saw a new scav outfit and on Reserves, raiders arrive. I did get a tank battery which apparently are unlootable now because they weigh 60kg and immediately make you weight too much. I saw a post on Reddit and when someone looted one, it immediately made them walk at a crawl and hobble. Until people level their strength up, you can't really come to a raid stacked in gear and loot a ton of stuff. Good time to think about what loadouts people will be using with lower strength.

Every time patch notes are released it's always "Nikita has gone too far this time!" and every patch the game gets more popular. He might yet ruin this game. But he hasn't yet. He's actually managed to build something with an interesting gameplay loop that people want to play even if they have to put up with some bullshit mechanics or features that don't make any loving sense.

Oh my god I feel so bad for this player who clearly didn't know about the new weight limits, tried to limp his way out with gear at the 4 minute mark and died to scavs shooting him in the back. He thankfully didn't have insane gear, but it was painful to watch. BIGWIGBO, rest in peace.

I like the head bob a bit, honestly. It added a cool element where you can just sprint everywhere and immediately ADS to loving shoot someone. I get that it can make people sick though.

Head bob can't be tied intrinsically to gameplay though, because some people just get violently sick trying to deal with it.

Strangest method i've seen of someone leveling strength and endurance so far has been someone running around the tower on Reserves with the machine gun emplacement. They would run laps around the tower (up top) and when their stamina was drained, hop inside to recover. Occasionally they'd fire the machine gun until people figured out what they were up too and popped shots at them. Didn't see the person wielding a gun and I watched for minutes. I was entranced. People will always find a way.
