For sure we're getting an expansion to Lighthouse, and possibly a new quest line to unlock the new trader.

If Streets drops, it's not expected.

Heh, I've mostly skipped this patch so I don't even have lighthouse explored properly. Maybe everyone will go for the extention so I will be able to roam around other parts in peace.

I mean the way that sound just gets cut off in some areas like stairways depending on where you are is bad for sure

one of the worst things about the game alongside right peeks vs left peeks

Can't imagine rogue-farming is gonna go away. In the Olden Times, the end of the map where the extension is gonna go was fairly quiet and peaceful, but that's gonna be over.

This is a real thing for right-handed shooters, though. Being able to change hands/shouldering around cover is an important skill to avoid exactly this.

Not sure if it will affect the peeks at all, but the sidestep animations are getting overhauled to actually have the character lean out more realistically rather than just sliding left or right.

There will be a lot of new animations coming with the new patch. BSG showed off most of the new ones at the end of their more recent dev livestream.

It's not often I manage to kill Schturman, Sanitar and Killa in a single day, then get head-eyes'd by a Toz scav because Team Wendy is still gated behind quests during the End Times.

So you can bring injectors out, but if you put them in your stash, you can't put them back??

Tarkov Patch Notes posted:

Added offline cooperative game mode. This game mode is only available to players who purchased the Edge of Darkness pre-order edition.

Added the “Co-op mode” checkbox on the game mode selection screen. In co-op mode, all settings for bots, bosses, time and weather are identical to online raids. Progress in co-op raids is not saved, and the gear taken into such raids won’t be lost upon death;

The “Start as group” checkbox allows for all players in the group to spawn together in the center of the location. With the checkbox unticked, all players will spawn like in the online mode.

The number of players in a group for the co-op mode has been increased and depends on the maximum number of players in the selected location.

The number of co-op servers may be limited under heavy loads. In this case, on the group gathering screen, you will see a message saying “Attention! High load on practice mode servers”. This message means that finding a server for a co-op raid may take longer than usual.

Absolutely buck wild that they're doing even this much.

Did I say I hated it? Just pointing out that dedicating resources and servers to PVE immediately after announcing the same thing for PVP isn't really a 'waste' it's just appealing to both types of players.

Generic "you"; sorry. But Tarkov is kind of a mediocre PvE game vs its contemporaries and this mode doesn't even save poo poo. At best it's valuable for practising the really annoying quests.

Offline isn’t even real PvE, everything you do is isolated to that instance

Yeah the xtg thing rocks. I wonder if they're testing accelerated rounds for Arena or if they're prepping for some radiation wizardry in labs or streets.

Given there an option to all spawn separately in co-op, it's almost like having custom lobbies, so if you wanna just have some pvp with a bunch of mates, battle royale style, you can do that.

Does the single-player Tarkov also include questlines? If so, how does it go about counting for PMC kills, or does it just drop PMC quests?

Or is there even quests to do, or is the SP-Tarkov just basically PvE only?

Some of the bots that spawn will be PMCs. Unfortunately, one of the limitations is that enemies will only spawn in the usual bot spawns. So half of woods is very safe, for example. They also don't wander the map so you'll generally know where you're going to be encountering people.

There are all the quests in the game. Hell, there is a mod that adds like 8000 quests.

I use a server modifier to change things up for certain quests. For example; changing PMC spawn rate to be 100% of the bots, or making every bot on any map a raider. Or adding all the bosses to Factory, so that as soon as you kill one another will spawn. You can get real weird with it.

I have been getting rocked this wipe. Died 2 times in a row from scavs head shotting me before I could react to them.

Edit: It's been probably close to a year since I've played last and the past 2 hours are a nice reminder why I took a break from this game. I really do not like PvP games anymore :smith:. My reaction time and ability to visible see enemies has diminished greatly over the years it seems.

They also completely changed the movement system since you last played. If reaction time and visual acuity are an issue, you might be better off setting ambushes after you re-learn some of the choke points.

The other option is to get a buddy and quest your traders up until every loss is down to a value in roubles rather than "irreplaceable" found gear.
