If we want Tarkov to live a long life, I don't see how buying the game once per client back in 2017 is supposed to keep it running. There's a finite number of new players as the game gets older. Stash upgrade won't help anyone kill you better in the match, but gives that influx of money into the product. It's fine in my book.

The micro transactions are probably to recoup the cost they sunk on development of their first DLC Arena where they proceeded to take everything fun about Tarkov and strip it out and try to resell it to e-sports players who never asked for it.

I am dangerously close to being broke if you need a good, albeit boring, money run for your PMC try nighttime shoreline - it's worse now that there isn't snow (you could get away with flashlight only, now you probably want to run cheap NVG as that map sometimes gets dark), but depending on which side you spawn on you can clean out either the lower village or the smuggler camp and then exfil without ever crossing the centerline and going through chokepoints/quest locations/pvp hotspots (you take road to lighthouse on the west side and the 5k car ride on the east) just hug the map edge as you make your way towards your loot spot (if you didn't spawn in the village proper), fill up you backpack/vest with items worth 10k+ per slot to flea or traders (mechanism backpack is good here for size + not stacking/having an annoying layout, so in the unlikely event you die you've got decent odds of getting it back via insurance), and then head for the exit - you'll earn north of 500k in a 10-15m run (maybe more like 20 if you're slow/cautious in the village as you have a more finnicky layout with a lot of additional containers to open) smuggler camp is definitely much better loot and faster (since stuff is just lying in the open), but is somewhat higher risk as you're more likely to encounter someone with the same idea + may have a risky field crossing if you got a poor spawn and arrive late, village is slower and less rewarding but safer as its of little interest to most people and you'll definitely still fill your bag (and are giving yourself a lot of chances to get a lucky roll on a Sports bag) it takes a moderate initial investment in gear (NVG + large bag + silenced weapon for scav removal + gear set so you can at least consider pvp if someone else goes directly to smugglers camp) and its deliberately unexciting so I emphatically don't recommend you do it routinely after you've got a cushion, but I've found it to be a pretty consistent way to create that cushion

only thing that didnt seem to be working was scavving afaict, but also the other times that scavving has broken has been at the same time that there were some other massive bugs in the game (eg the invisible players bug) so who knows what all was going on I don't think there'd been enough time for there to really be a proper backlash to nerfs, especially not over pistols and smgs late wipe

The patch was a couple hundred MB and the rollback is 24 GB. With my crappy Internet, that means no Tarkov for me today

Scavs will never have an armband, so if you see one it is 100% a PMC. Pistol holsters aren't quite as sure of a thing, but there are only 1 or 2 scav skins with pistol holsters while almost every PMC leg option has one.

Use the cool gun and enjoy it while you have it, if you die, whatever. Use kit and make money with it? Or have it sit there taking up room in the stash for no reason? It's just some gear, you can get it back easily.

After doing so many tasks on shoreline I found a few deec loot spots, weather station, the smuggler town, etc and doing exactly what you said, coming at night and extracting using the vehicle or lighthouse. I’m not sure how, but I somehow got my monitor/graphics setting set so that night time basically doesn’t matter to me. In the snow especially I could still make out a scav/PMC in the distance without a light of any kind. I really dunno how I managed this, I spent a long time loving with my settings unsuccessfully, for a while I was blind as hell even in a dark building, but I loaded up a night raid last week and realized I wasn’t blind anymore lol. I’ll have to see if I can still do night runs without the snow, it’s kinda cheap but I’ll take it to slightly increase my survival lol.

The only one that has bit me is selling an RSASS and then later having to trade a ton of dog tags for one to complete a gunsmith quest.

It would be nice if BSG even took two seconds to look at sptarkov QOL mods and put them in the game so you don't have to use a wiki for everything like that. The "more check marks" mod is such a game changer to be able to mouse over items in raid and see what quests they go to and how many you need or what they can be bartered for or how many you have back in storage out of raid.

I like the current balance: you're rewarded for thinking ahead and you only have to look up that list of quest items once per season, and you still get the tension in-raid of trying to figure out what to grab and having to remember what hideout items you need. Not saving every quest item in advance also does not hinder progression all that much because the main limiting thing on most early questing is just # of raids run and there's nearly always something productive you can be doing while looking for whatever items you need currently. IMO the early progression friction is actually good. Marking specifically the items you need for tasks you're currently on is better than marking every single item that is ever needed for quests. Hideout items are only a thing for 15 levels anyways, so either memorize the first few upgrades or just write them down on a piece of paper, it's not that hard Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Feb 15, 2024 |
