Not sure if this was posted yet:

quote:

Here are the highlights of what was said during the latest TarkovTV Devblog:

● Patch 0.12.5 is planned for the beginning of next week after it there will be 0.12.6, there is no exact release date yet. At the moment, testing is underway and the patchnote for patch 0.12.6 is not ready yet.

● The wipe will take place in 0.12.6, however, we will save the progress of examining items and weapon presets.

● Before wipe, for 3-4 days, there will be pre-wipe events, info about them will be reported closer to the point.

● After the wipe, at the flea market, you will only allowed to sell items that have found in raid status.

● "Run through" status-will reset the “found in raid " status from items.

● Patch 0.12.5 will be without content, it contains fixes, optimization and new mechanics (quick treatment by therapist, mouse sensitivity depending on the multiplicity of the sight, and so on).

● It is planned to rework loot on locations, its spawn locations, and the loot pools themselves.

● Random places with loot are planned. Also, it is planned to introduce a feature so that the AI will protect places with valuable loot.

● The first part of skill system rework will be in 0.12.7.

● Regarding Steam Audio: the developers of Hired Ops asked BSG for a module to implement in their game (HOps). Positioning already works cool, it becomes clear where the enemy is, not just on the left or right, but also behind and above your position or in front and below. The game will have Steam Audio in 0.12.6. You can check this feature out already in Hired Ops.

● A new caliber will be added to the game .45 ACP and several weapons samples are planned for it. In 0.12.6 there will be Colt 1911, later UMP and Kriss Vector.

● Almost the entire team of level designers is working on a new location — Streets of Tarkov. Nikita confirmed that there will be up to 40 players on the map. Developers like the idea that you can get lost on location. The screenshot showed a helicopter flying near one of the high-rise buildings.

● Work is underway on new equipment for the scavs-cheap, bad-looking-something like survival gear.

● It is planned to rebalance various thermal imagers after adding more of them.

● New boss for the Shoreline location, name: Sanitar. Not much of a fighter, who uses stimulants. Also, he will have various unique stimulants in his inventory. One of them is MULE, for carrying weights and another with interesting effects called " Obdolbos”, the development of the Sanitar himself.

● Customs expansion is planned for 0.12.6. One of the new buildings will be the base for Reshala and his crew. Perhaps there will be an underground level at the new part of the location, or at some building.

● In 0.12.7 or 0.12.8 it's planned to add a USP pistol in three variants at once.

● Demonstrated more detailed customization of weapons on the example of Colt 1911.

● Demonstrated a work in progress video of the PPSH. The introduction of PPSH in the game looks logical and realistic, since there are many military warehouses on the territory of Russia, where a large number of PPSH is stored.

● About cheaters: every day from 1500 to 2000 dishonest players are banned. Approximately 50,000 dishonest players were blocked in March. This month it is expected that there will be more of them. The team is constantly working with the BattlEye developers.

● The game will have a system of reports: both on suspiciously acting players, and on all sorts of exploits, bugs, and obscene nicknames.

● Post-FX filters will be introduced in patch 0.12.5. NVIDIA has prematurely disabled its FreeStyle filters. They are now working again, but they will be completely disabled starting from May 1. Support for NVIDIA Highlights will also be disabled since this system was used by cheaters.

● Items taken from players in raid will still not have the "found in raid" status.

● Barters for dogtags will continue to be added. Conditions for bartering with dogtags are planned to be revised (quantity, levels).

● About the cultists: Nikita refused to talk about it, the players will see for themselves when they are added. In which patch? In any.

● Unity is scheduled to be updated to version 2019. This will give devs even more tools for optimizing and developing the project.

● They work with spawns on maps all the time. Bugs are being fixed. Spawn points are edited constantly, including the ones based on feedback from players. The following patches will also bring changes for spawns fixing.

● With the wipe, there will also be changes in the VAL/VSS characteristics.

● In post-raid treatment, you will be able to see statistics on damaged parts of the body — injuries (where, how, and with what cartridge). More detailed reports may be added in the future.

● Customization of armored rigs and plate carriers is quite a big and serious feature. Most likely it will be added in patch 0.13, along with Streets of Tarkov.

● Compass: possibly in 0.12.7.

Edit: I am getting back into the game, quick question. Can you buy an adar or is it only for trade? I really enjoy using it, normally my vepr is my go to low level gun but I think the adar might have just taken that spot.

I'm also a big fan of the ADAR. Vepr is also great, but largely due to the ammo it uses. M61 rounds are devastating in so many ways. I think everything else about the ADAR is better.

The only ADAR I see for purchase is from Skier lvl 2, and it's just the frame. You'd have to source all the other parts for the gun. I'm guessing you don't have access to the flea yet? Because you could always buy it there.

BTW, when you start looking for an upgrade to that gun, there is the TX-15, which is one of my favorite guns in the game. Sure, there are more effective guns, but the TX-15 really shines in the aesthetic department. Cool looking gun with a cool sound effect.

It has very good recoil control and can fire pretty quick when you click like a maniac.

Sadly I don't, I think I hit 7 last night. Good to know that Skier sells at least a version of it for actually money.

Jarf posted:

You can get an adar for a rechargable battery at skier level 1 and for about 35k rubles at skier level 2.

I don't remember rechargeable batteries being too rare or really used for any decent barters.

Getting back into the groove of the game. Just hit level 11, and I got my first golden tt today. Some smooth brained scav player decided that wiggling was not on his agenda today and took a shot at me with an m700. He ate a nice vog-25 to the face and I was up an m700 with loving m61 ammo. Feeling like hot poo poo I did what came natural, I decided I wanted to get out of the raid as quickly as possible. Approaching the gas station from the hill I heard a lot of angry scavs, long short they deiced to line up outside by the fence. So I shot em all in the head. While looting Rashala I got shot at with a silenced bullet hose, couldn't really tell because I booked it. Sold a labs keycard and I have a nice shiny golden gun.

So what's the golden gun used for now-a-days?

Edit: Also the M700 is SO satisfying to shoot.

Mosin tri-rail plus laser designator is also really good. Just trust the laser and try and get it on the neck/head/chest before firing. It's better than swapping weapons, and point firing lets you try and dodge their ADS by side stepping!

Yea it's so worth it though. I pop it at the start of the raid and whenever things get quiet. It takes a long time to apply so it's not good in an emergency. If it does remove tunnel vision and stuff, which someone mentioned it might, I think it needs a nerf. It's rare as gently caress though. I think the best place to find it is in medical supply crates, like on Reserve.

Oh sorry I didn't clarify, I meant in real life lol. Much like in game, it is really awesome. Smell is something to get used to though...

So recently I've been just playing in the offline mode. One thing I struggle with in this game is target identification. I don't know why but I struggle SO bad with seeing people to shoot.

Was doing a scav raid, was making out like a bandit when some player scav with poo poo aim started to shoot me. But he caught me proning, so I was trying to hit C fast to stand up.

I hit V instead

Stood up and pointed my knife at him. By the time I got my mosin out he hit me in the hit finally.

Edit: Also I just got killed by an invisible silent scav.

my official advice this wipe is to run pp-19s and leg people who have the reaction times of a slug

People underestimate the PP-19. Close to medium range it can leg meta hard, and with the buff to 19m rounds armor pen, it can do pretty decent with body shots.

Apparently vendor prices for a bunch of items have been altered, and traders have been shifted around in terms of who's best to sell stuff to. Notably,
- Bitcoins now sell for 97k to therapist, 106k to mechanic
- Fuel conditioner nerfed to 30k
- Magazine box nerf, and strangely crackers sell for a ton to therapist.

Personally, I'm just sad. My bitcoin farm construction literally just completed today, and I had been saving up / buying graphics cards for a bit.

How much were the bitcoins originally selling for?
