BANNED USER posted:Having played ground branch, Tarkov is still missing like half of its core features, which isn't good if the game is allegedly in "beta". I blame streamers for the lack of focus on finishing core gameplay before adding "content" like new weapons or locations. You have to appease your sapient advertisements and the company they keep. I'm really not sure Ground Branch is the example to put up there of timely or high content development. Not that I disagree that Tarkov is not in a great place for a game in beta for three(?) years now, though everyone knew it was a sham beta when they announced it.

Almost positive it will never come out of beta and BSG will just move onto the next game, which Nikita has talked about before. Anyway, today is some stupid Star Wars made-up day so you have a very high chance of spawning with a stormtrooper mask on your scav.

How CPU dependent is tarkov? I have a ryzen 3600 and a 3080 playing at 1440p. It runs well for the most part but still dips sometimes. Would a ryzen 5900x be worth upgrading to or is it just a case of a poorly optimized game running on unity?

Tarkov is one of the most random games in terms of rig performance I think I've ever seen so that upgrade could keep your frames steady or it could do nothing at all. It would be unlikely to be worse but it might just manage it.

Supposedly it leans more on the cpu than gpu, but I play on a 4770 I7 and a 1070, and the game runs well enough. I'll take that 3600 when you upgrade...

I was having absolutely nightmarish hitching in the game, mostly on reserve, but lowering the textures to medium / increasing page file to 16gb has totally smoothed it out. Got a ryzen 5 5600x myself. RTX 2060 for gpu.

Maybe I'm misremembering how it was back in like '17/18 but does anyone find themselves having trouble judging distances on reports? I'm getting better at it as I get back into playing more but I still have trouble and compared to what I feel like I used to be able to easily judge a fight or report between dorms and new gas now it can be anywhere in there or up in the hills above them and I can't tell for sure. Might just need more time to acclimate back to Tarkov's insane audio processing but it's annoying.

You're probably noticing the change back to steam audio it takes a while to get used to, I had the same experience when I got used to it last wipe and it was off until recently

I feel like that is subjective for everyone, but I find it helps if you always use the same type of earpro. The differences are small for some, vut the consistency definitely helped me at ranging sounds when I first started playing

I have a 5950x due to work, and my fps in tarkov varies from 70s to 144 (the cap I have atm) at 1440p. I have all low settings and a 2070s. It definitely still dips sometimes. Maybe it's lower at times but I don't stare at my fps.

Speaking of twitch streamers, heres a pretty cool one who's currently doing a charity stream and was linked here months ago. He's a quadriplegic gamer who plays using an xbox adaptive controller and an eye tracker. Dudes got better skills than me. https://www.twitch.tv/jmaxjourneys

Tarkov is going on sale this weekend. 20% - 25% off all editions. I'm actually probably gonna go ahead and buy another copy of the game so I can have a regular account and a hardcore account. https://twitter.com/bstategames/status/1390281260799516677

I want to start building up a bank of Euros, anyone have suggestions on best items to sell? I think the rate is basically 151 roubles = 1 euro, so I should just convert whatever i'm trying to sell to that, right? I don't us a ton of euros, already have the solar plant, I just want a bank of them incase sometime comes up. I'm guessing I could sell some ammo to start building up my euro bank, but what else could be good?

When I did it, I basically just sold anything on flea that has a reasonable turnover rate for euros. The flea exchange rate ~2 months ago seemed to be ~133 roubles = 1 euro, so I got a discount vs buying them outright. Full disclosure: I haven't really been playing that much the last couple months, so I have zero idea what's hot on flea right now. At the time ammo isn't a great thing to sell here because of the low per item cost but most anything over 10k and that sells well should be if you want to go through the effort. I personally didn't really bother unless it was 50k+ - most of what I did was bolts, empty blue fuels, filters, intel, that kind of stuff. I never tried with anything worth more than ~500k, but the air filters were selling around that when I did it and they'd always sell. I think once folks get solar (and for poors like me, stash4), there isn't really a whole lot people spend the euros on so they just buy it if it is anywhere close to the top of the list on flea and they don't really care if the math works out as a deal or not. Edit: I also paid less in flea listing fees if doing it in euros, so it was a double win

The flea is around 130 roubles per euro. Ammo sells well at euro prices, as does ammo/mag boxes and the like. I've been selling anything less than 50k roubles for roubles, and anything more for euros.

I don't necessarily need them and could just buy some if I do, but I have been buying a ton of 50-round Glock mags to use with Vectors and am getting to the point where I could probably use more. I'll just start listing a few pricy, sought after items for Euros and see what happens. My latest past time has been tracking down REAP-IR weapons as trophies. I love night maps, but you generally see them more on those maps so I go for silenced shots and see what happens. So far, the most used weapon for REAP-IRs is the SR-25, which I have a few of. I guess long-range weapons make sense, but boy do PMC's get reckless later on in a map when they feel that PMC's are all used up. Well, they are, but this scav boy sure can surprise you and take that REAP-IR from you.

Second set of shots in the thread in case anyone didn't click through. https://twitter.com/bstategames/status/1392511800068001792 I'm curious as to how much it'll be expanded, large parts of those shots are just parts of factory already or look extremely similar. I doubt factory will become a woods style map where you can loot an entire backpack full of poo poo without seeing another player but it'd be interesting to see it be significantly larger.

No plan for a wipe at the moment. From Nikita. He says no plan for wipe over next coming weeks or months, but he also said he can't tell us more. So we could go without a wipe for a very long time or we could have one tomorrow. It's Nikita.

I mean that's pretty par for the course, the last several wipes have been right around 200 days and we're currently at ~140 or so, another couple of months would be exactly what you'd anticipate I know people want an early wipe because of the hosed economy, but it's not like it'd make them any faster on the new content (maps especially), and I feel like people tend to forget that they typically do mini-patches to add some new gear and revitalize the player base a bit

Per the podcast interview Nikita just did it's about twice as large as it used to be apparently new boss will have a huge sledgehammer and a saiga shotgun other patch things: content will be locked sometime this month, with a two week testing period and release in June optics revision apparently we're also getting some new systems that may be fun/disastrous: -the first iteration of the scav karma system and ability to level fence - apparently level 2 fence lets you purchase unclaimed insurance items lol -weapons jams/malfunctions (probably accompanied by scav guns often having lowered durability and corresponding reliability) inertia/new unity engine/voip not in yet DLSS is apparently coming "soon" but won't be next patch they may start doing some community event things (like free labs weekends) LGD fucked around with this message at 00:54 on May 14, 2021 |

The stated intent of the karma system, unless Nikita talked about it more today, is that scav karma; - Gives better scav loadouts with high karma - Give access to stuff from a revamped Fence, better stuff with higher karma - Causes much more frequent weapon jams with bad karma Scavs are supposedly getting an objective system for every run, one of which includes defending a scav boss if it spawns (though how that's going to work with the super late scav spawns on some maps I dunno) and ignoring objectives or letting the scav boss die decreases karma, or visa versa. And killing other scavs, of course. I think karma has the potential to make the game actually really interesting, but it also has the potential to kill it. E: Also 11 question Q&A over on the forums.
