Next week I intend to upload a video covering the many aspects of tarkov PvE. Should be a good time. Also, I'm thinking about starting a second channel where I upload other games.

The thing about Tarkov is that 80% of the playerbase are addicted in the literal sense of the word, trying to get the same dopamine rush they got 2000 hours of playtime ago

Most changes only happened after they messed up PR wise. It goes to prove that many QOL changes are held back when times are good. I don’t have time for that, hence why I play SPT with friends.

The best thing about this scandal is that it brought a lot of people to SPT, including me. I couldn’t play the last few months because of school, and I won’t be able to start the next wipe because of work. Without SPT I could never fully experience this game I paid 150€ for.

3:00 Theres a decent chance that most of the cheaters simply got bored of EFT and moved on to a different game.

SPT saved this game for me. It allowed me to play at my own pace and add enough to fix many of the problems I have with it. Even the 'no pvp' is a non-issue with bots that act like humans would with SAIN. I'm really glad it has gotten the attention it deserves lately.

I was waiting over 20 minutes to get into PVE, ended up just alt-F4

I've escaped Tarkov, quite literally. That place has nothing to offer to me except frustration. I'm happier picking up trash in the streets and seeing a clean neighborhood.

The next wipe is gunna be the most important wipe to date, it'll be the real show of how the game is doing drama be damned. Player retention is gunna be BSG's greatest enemy to fight, a game can't survive if it only has a player base for a month every six months

[facelesswizard]

Coming back after being away for two wipes. Completely blown away by how well the gunplay feels even with unmodded guns.

Here's a friendly reminder that we never actually got a real apology from Nikita.

And no, "sorry you feel that way" does not count.

[Khornecussion]

Tried so hard to get into the game. Basic edition. Played 15 games. In ten of those games, I got killed by a spinbot that would run into view doing textbook jerky spinbot nonsense from Counter-strike and ten BANG BANG two rounds right through me. Then there's the spawning in on Reserve, taking two steps and being shot by a guy near tunnel with a bolt-action. You know. Underground.

Thanks for the attention retention corner, helps me feel centered after tarkov ....

[bootragweino]

Love the "Attention Retention Corner" 😆

I only exist in SPT now, Live has nothing for me that I can't mod in myself. Actually got time to do that event everyone rushed to do this wipe when it comes around. The lazy bastards probably have a giant list of fixes ready to go for Tarkov, but sit on them like Activision does whenever something goes wrong with Overwatch and they need good PR. In good conscious, I cannot just waltz back in like nothing happened. I want BSG to learn, and if that includes failing as a company, so be it.

[Jonchua]

While I don't think BSG will be able to reclaim what it lost as far as image and player count is, the game has many years in its future as long as they don't continue to take a huge dump on its player base - which admittedly may be hard for them. They do enjoy crapping all over their players and anyone with constructive criticism. I find it telling that after the trial of Arena breakout is the most they have ever listened to the community and provided clarity on their own actions than anytime in all of Tarkovs history.

3:00 If you're curious about the cheating problem being a lesser one than usual it's due to the biggest cheat being detected twice a month apart which has caused a lot of users of that cheat to get banned and doubt their customers are willing to purchase a cheat + spoofer from them incase they get detected again next month.

[Sphereaus]

You hit all the points myself and my friends are talkin about wanting to see change, Great video!

[rogo]

Cheaters being "playable" is not an excuse for them still being basically unpunnished, despite the game running on your PC as badly coded malware under admin priviliges with RCE vulnerability being open to the Internet. It's not that no other games are like that (even Ubisoft and EA realease shit like that), but it's so annoying that nobody sees that as a big fking issue.

[swappinqentertainment]

“Best wipe since inertia was added” is the hottest take I have heard in my couple thousand hours of playtime.

[RedactedBrainwaves]

It will be hard competing against a free to play game that does things better than their expensive game with a lot of years since public release. BSG can't just improve the game a little, they will have to overhaul the game into a banger worth the price tag. Right now the only people who will say buying Tarkov is worth it bought it already and are suffering from sunk cost fallacy, or they are addicted to the masochist gameplay (and to the good feeling of saying you play a more "hardcore" game)
