There's a bunch of new images from the alpha build of Arena over on Battlestate's twitter: https://twitter.com/tarkovarena/status/1608520610602450944?s=20&t=lMfBhwMTBMqlMJ2J0cRQng

The UI and everything is... way more impressive than I expected it to be. Looks really cool.

For the most part. Landmvrk, Klean, and DeadlySlob are solid as well

Man, SwampFox makes *excellent* "movies" where he describes everything and has tons of pop-ups with relevant info. Do recommend.

Ok, after dicking about in offline mode, slapping on T4 armour on and a half decent gun with a hole I'm enjoying this and not getting mauled by AI anymore.

I did just die of exhaustion though because my partner wanted my attention after logging in, I didn't know where I was on the map and ran around like a headless chicken till I died. :saddowns:

Edit: I even got 2 kills earlier :unsmith:

Seems like most bosses have a small chance to spawn there, be careful to not get bopped by shturman.

Scavs are cracked this wipe. I have only done a handful of PMC raids but every death so far has been to a scav. Once they aggro you, if you don't kill them in under 2-3 seconds youre dead.

Probably because they get better ammo than you do.

Whatever fix they did to limit their view through foliage and objects doesn't appear to be working as well. They seem to be able to see through impossible concealment.

I'm going to add that Smoke is also very good(and has a nice chill personality), though he plays other games like DayZ pretty frequently so he's not always gonna be on tarkov.

Landmark is just so incredibly full of himself (even for a streamer), and he has an enormous number of dudes wanting to ride his dick that scream "HAXXXXX" the second he dies. I have no idea how informative it is to watch someone that good at PVP to learn anything either, tbh.

The number one thing you will learn from Landmark is to always be moving. It's not just his drop attacks either; I've seen him push the 3Dorms stairs by falling back outside and throwing an impact grenade through the window. By having a small attack surface and never being where your opponent(s) expect you greatly increase your chances of success.

People who have been playing for a while, what keeps you going? I basically took last wipe off, and jumped back in this wipe, and it just seems more soul crushing than I remember. I can't tell if I'm just getting too old, or maybe the novelty has worn off, but I'm just curious what fun people are getting out of this right now, because I love the idea of Tarkov and would hate to toss it in the bin with all the other games I'm trash at.

oh i completely forgot to pick up the gift with the ammo case after redeeming it and it expired in like 12 hours, does support ever help out with that kind of stuff or is it a well gently caress me situation?

man I am dogshit at this game. I haven't played in well over 2 years so I decided to do an offline raid on Customs.

I got lost, then I found a Scav. Shot at him, he turned around and one tapped me. I would ask for help in raids but you reaaaallly don't want this idiot to look after.

I haven’t played in like two wipes, but sometimes I feel like getting a few goons together who all claim to be bad at the game to form an idiot squad with me. I have a pretty good head for orienting myself on maps but have giant lobsterclaws stuffed into boxing gloves for hands so my aim is poo poo. With a couple other goobers we might all just amount to one decent player. :v:

For me, it's gaining the map knowledge and using it to stay alive and get things done. My first two wipes were like "gunshot sounds! scary!". Now it's "ok, 5 minutes into Shoreline, distant Mosin fire north of the resort, someone just took out sniper scav. That means it's probably safe to push radar station now. Then check if scavs are still up at power station and decide next move."

That'd be cool. I have massive Tarkov anxiety however!
