DrPop posted:I didn't realize they cut factory down to 5 PMCs until I heard Worrun talking about it. Can you still go in with a five-man? Yeah you can now make Factory a purely PvE experience other than player scavs, if you have a reason to do so. (Unless they changed it since a couple wipes ago.)

Bussamove posted:This is my first wipe but didn’t they also basically double the size of Woods and Customs in that time? They did, yeah and both of those were really good expansions. I still don't think that makes two years to release a map a good look for any game, regardless of the level of detail (random trash scattered everywhere with rare or no meaningful gameplay impact) and to be fair that's also about the time scale that Hunt, Tarkov's basically only competitor is at for a new map, so it's hardly a Tarkov only problem. That said my actual concern with Streets, timeline aside, is how performant is it going to be and I can only assume the answer is going to be "not." Also getting shot from one of a trillion goddamn windows but Reserve already kinda has that going on.

Who cares if it’s the actual intended game or not, it’s what got popular on Twitch. /s See this was definitely true like three years ago but I'm pretty sure that for all Nikita has his vision, he likes the game being popular and making a ton of money more. Open world and all that stuff are probably dead. Though it's gonna be extremely funny if they aren't.

Its Happening! posted:Maybe I'm too old school, but I just want a game where everybody is on a level playing field. Seems like every game lately has been tilting the table more and more, not just to favor those who spend money on the game, but to punish those who don't until they give in and open their wallets. Hence my hesitance to even start with Tarkov. Honestly if you want Tarkov without all the extraneous parts, you've got Hunt. If something about Hunt doesn't do it for you, guns, mechanics, whatever, you've got things like Squad, Hell Let Loose and Post Scriptum, larger scale, more pseudo-realistic team based shooters, basically hardcore Battlefields. Failing that, people still play the poo poo out of Battlefield 3 & 4 if you want modern ones and 1 and 5 (jesus christ Battlefield names) still see a fair player base most of the day. Ultimately I don't think Tarkov is gonna be what you want, given what you've said.

Bussamove posted:You’re not the first person I’ve seen say this lately and I’ve been feeling the slap down lately a lot too. I don’t know what it is but it was a drastic turn about a week ago. Lots of headshots from the hip and snipes from nowhere. It’s been extremely disheartening, honestly. I'm always wary of calling cheats but the person I typically duo with and I have had a number of deaths lately where we both get pop-pop one tap headshot by the same person in a split second which is about as close as it comes to being obvious. Even if it's not a genuine rise in illegitimate kills, Twitch drops for games like Tarkov, Hunt et al do tend to draw out the most vicious goddamn people for some reason, just absolute nightmares.

An ARPG style seasonal system would be a huge boon to the game and while I'm sure they're fully aware of it I'm also sure they probably won't implement it until the game is 'done' which is rough.

ShowTime posted:How big do you all think the found in raid change with the secure containers really is? Just curious. I think as long as they're selling EOD with the stash increase and the container upgrade it's always going to be some level of paying for power or at the very least major convenience. Think about how much money someone starting out in Tarkov throws away on average; unneeded meds, ammo, whatever they lose when they inevitably get clapped by some gear lord on their first two hundred raids. Even if ultimately a gamma is only saving them 10-15k in meds every run by not losing those meds, it adds up with how fast your average new player bleeds money before they start learning when and what to shove into that gamma instead. God knows I still occasionally loot practically worthless poo poo because I can't be assed to cross-check or remember every flea price. I don't think it's as drastic a benefit as it used to be, having EOD but it's never going to suddenly stop being an advantage.

Khorne posted:what are the pros/cons of this game Pros: - Best in class shooting. No game has the gun feel, recoil skill (occasionally mitigated by gun building) and general play making of Tarkov. - Intricate, large maps. Occasionally a downside but more often than not allows for big plays and playing the game the way you want, avoiding conflict etc. - Gun building. Systems like the gun building from the most recent few Ghost Recons or Call of Dutys, where you can swap out just about every major accessory, taken to absurd extremes. Swap out literally every major functional piece of anything bigger than a handgun and strap all sorts of dumb poo poo to handguns to compensate. - Intensity. A long-standing buzzword for shooters in particular but after your first time sitting still for thirty minutes (rare but it happens) listening for the slightest sound to give your opponent away, only for it to end in seconds in a blaze of explosions and gunfire? You'll be back for more. Cons: - Extremely, viciously unkind to newcomers. Old meme graphs about games learning curves would put Tarkov going backwards off the X axis for several miles. You will spend days, weeks or even months dying in inexplicable, fantastical ways before it starts to make sense. Familiarity with other high lethality shooters will help, as will friends to carry you, but it's gonna suck for a while. - Extraneous systems/mechanics. Tarkov leans into REALISM in a way that few games ever have and probably goes a little too far, bogging down the good shooting parts with some things that just don't need to be there except for fetishistic, actually-not-that-realistic reasons. This is probably the most variable con for most people, some people like a lot of it and some of them do genuinely add to the experience. - Questionably competent or motivated dev team. Long stretches of bad gameplay decisions and design, only finally or half fixed, decisions made in light of things that don't seem to make much sense from the player side and a general distaste for increasing playability of the game in general. A definite sense of "our vision" marred by some dumb design. Ultimately something that only a few people drop the game for but it's something to be aware of. One day, years from now, the Tarkov that exists now may be completely gone, unlikely as it is. Orv fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Apr 14, 2021 |

Have they completely eliminated the bag of holding/tardis effect on everything but the various cases? Seems like everything but the cases and the docs/keyring I've found since playing again now takes up its actual size in inventory but I've probably just missed something.

tokenbrownguy posted:No judgement here, but is Single Player Tarkov just you running around booping Scavs? It has options to simulate enemy PMCs by giving them much higher quality equipment and having them roam around the map. When I tried it at least, back when it was brand new, they were basically just super high tier gear piñatas that posed zero threat and left you swimming in crazy good guns and stuff.

Christ, I haven't played any real significant amount since before the flea market - and honestly early on in the implementation of quests is when I quit for a while - and it's roooough coming back and not really remembering the stuff that hasn't changed and most of it has but above it's a real fuckin' nightmare when literally everyone is geared to the nines in every single raid. I gather it's been like this for a while, too.

As good as the Hunter can be I don't feel like that's gonna play ball against regular squads of dudes tricked out in level 5/6 stuff with 60 round laser guns but I'll give it a go. Definitely having to relearn a lot of stuff at the moment.

Maybe I've put this badly. I'm just trying to get stuff done, PvP definitely isn't a focus and I'm not hunting players at this stage of relearning stuff but it's been fairly frustrating to try and do a quest or find an item and running across someone who just pops you once in the chest with an M4 burst the second they see you and that's that. That's definitely Tarkov and has always been Tarkov but it feels weirdly pronounced at the moment since everyone has that kind of kit, instead of maybe a couple guys a raid and my options for dealing with it are basically nil if I'm playing/running what you might consider normal for my level of progress. I think I'm just adjusting to a post flea market Tarkov but it's rough and definitely not the game I'm used to from a couple years ago. Orv fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Apr 22, 2021 |

So since mines weren't a thing last time I was playing any real amount, how do they work? It seems like they instantly and infinitely rearm? Are there set placements or is it just "You walked X yards in a minefield take damage."

I don't think anyone is arguing against that point after the last four years of seeing people continually radicalized online and Twitch and Tarkov definitely have immensely toxic communities that could serve as places to further or begin someone's radicalization. I also don't think Hakimashou is doing this posting in remotely good faith, so.

If the lack of an in-game map is already tedious to you I would definitely pass on it.

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.
