Since I began working on this video, BSG has made some changes regarding plates system, PVE, Theta container being accessible through arena gameplay, and SOME unheard content being available to EOD users. Despite the changes made, I still have yet to return to the game as many others have quit as well. This video is a summarization of the things they’ve done to make me stop playing and why I probably will not return, not your Tarkov News source.
I perfectly understand, I stopped playing a few wipes ago and gave Tarkov a try after hearing about SPT, and honestly this video isn't a news source, it's just a summarized story of why most of us either switched to SPT or stopped playing entirely
I was already inactive with Tarkov for 2 years, only playing SPT off and on. Then unheard happened - and a buddy of mine expressed interest in SPT. We switched to Project FIKA. It is a coop mod for SPT that is completely independent. It's fully moddable just like SPT (since it's based on SPT). We have been progressing steadily. We are loving it. It's given us enthusiasm to play. The bots are as hard as we want them to be. It's great. We aren't going crazy with the mods, but we have optimized several aspects of the game. We have changes to durability wear, QOL changes to the hideout such as decreased timers, and have made various changes to in-raid settings with SVM. It's honestly a breath of fresh air and makes us excited to keep playing.
This game is like taking 15 people and putting them into a nut kicking competition where the winner gets to rail some coke. That one time you win it feels great. And it will keep you coming back for more. The rest of the time, your writhling in anger and ur pissed because clearly someone was wearing steel toe boots which was against the rules.
Oh not just another clip dump from Jesse kazam while bragging about views and algorithms lol 🤔 it's almost like quality content will get you ahead lol yea allot of wanna bes out there work is work gotta put it in it ain't all gaming unless your really good like willerz or you have people around you that generate viewers. Allot of it is just lazy.
you need more subscribers, this video was well put together, good script, funny, and high detail editing. good job, ima go back to getting head eyes. keep it up!
I believe that BSG should watch this and really listen to what you're saying, they need to just focus on tarkov. Great video man, wonderful editing too!
im an alpha player, through all those years one thing you need to know, nikita doesnt even give a single fk about your feeling and what you say, the game itself is a good game, but the developer of the game is untrained unleashed animal, they treat the community like a slave pool.
they wont, they will continue to "develop" arena instead and then wonder when the new arena update only brings in 1000 viewers on twitch and fizzles out after 2 hours
@@S4SK__1Your mistake is thinking that it is the same team. It is not. It is the team from their first (browser based) game, Contract Wars. 2010. That’s were the genesis of the maps for EFT sprung out of.
I loved Tarkov in the beginning because it didn´t matter if you are a well functioning member of society, or someone living in a modern cave with nothing to offer but lifetime. Same why I loved original DayZ so much, before IRL economys on modded servers and a barely playabe "successor" became a thing. Now I have a somewhat functioning life and money, but I still miss this kind of game that Fs everyone no matter what, instead of pampering the upper 1% of credit card warriors. Btw I didn´t realize you´re sub 2k subs, holy hell! This is some top tier production value.
I just want to start by saying this is a very well done video simplifying all the problems with tarkov, the unheard event and how it feels for majority of the playerbase for people outside of the community while also keeping it digestible and funny honestly it deserves as many views as the wiggle video, but personally this wipe I saw as one of the greatest wipes to have come to tarkov since the reserve update. the beginning of the wipe, as long ago as it was, was one of the first times in a while that I have truely felt like I was playing the tarkov that I initially played when I first got the game, the addition of snow, reworks to recoil and new quests, guns and a whole new map made the game enjoyable again and I find that most players I know agreed with me about it, but due to lack of new content and bsg deciding to turn this wipe into the longest one it’s ever been it was only a matter of time until they would fk it up. Personally of all things that I would like to be added is an intrusive anti cheat like vanguard in valorant or ricochet in cod. The cheating problem has gotten to far out of hand and is the sole reason I feel they added the pve mode. Until they fix the absolute absurd amount of cheaters this game will never be as good as it could have been
This is awesome and so much effort in making this! Really hope the support seen shows more content come out, you got my Sub! Amazing work. Nice to see videos that aren't a thumbnail and 20 minutes of a raid.
This is the best Tarkov experience description on the entire Internet. I really hope you make many more videos and keep this style. Good luck, and hopefully you get millions of views, because that's what this channel deserves.
all i got to say is how? How do you only have 1k subs. YOU DESERVE MORE!!! great quality vid, entertaining, some humor, and just a great video overall. Keep up the great work my dude. I am excited to keep watching your videos
Great video! The last wipe was probably it for me. I agree with all your points. They really need to start from scratch with a whole new engine but i don't think the players will follow at that point.
Hey man, almost clicked off this video because I just didn't wanna sit through the monologue at the beginning, but I kept watching. Awesome video, please keep making content.
Good video, honestly the sub number surprised me. Great work mate. As for the game I quit around the time when playing while chinese were awake was a death sentence so I'm surprised by those new things.
I agree with everything said in this video, I've been playing tarkov since 2017- 6000hours. The WORST aspect of tarkov isn't the cheaters(because PVE tarkov has no cheaters), its STREETS. This map so heavy on a pc its ridiculous. All the questing needing to be done in streets is depressing, you need a 5000USD pc to get acceptable framerates. I'm an old school level designer and i understand optimizing.
One of the if not best tarkov videos. Thank you for this, I cannot describe how you just made a video of what i think and monologue to myself when running Labs for loot. Subbed before your first 1000, remember me!
This a very, very good video. I haven’t played tarkov consistently in 3 or 4 years, but this game used to be my baby. I am very sad to see the current state of the game and you summed it up very well. Great job
As someone who hasn't played tarkov really before (I bought it, got shit on & didn't want to learn systems), getting into PvE with friends who actually know a bit more about the game and playing with them has been a lot of fun. I imagine if it's something you were playing solo, SPT probably has a much better user experience
EOD was already pay to win, it made progression much easier and quicker. The 0.2 rep alone on each trader saved many hours of grinding. The much larger stash meant you could hoard all the quest items instead of being forced to sell ones that are needed for a later quest to make space for the ones you'll need sooner. The gamma container allowed you to waste way less meds and ammo when going into raids by carrying spare ammo and meds in it, while still allowing something like a docs case for keys/intel or space for a GPU you might find. I never liked the fact that EOD existed but I just tried to mostly ignore it, so long as they didn't add more p2w to the game I'd begrudgingly tolerate eod. The addition of mtx and unheard edition was absolutely disgusting, not only did they break their old promise of never adding microtransactions to the game (and making the game more pay to win), but they also added p2w advantages that don't just affect progression speed, but rather the elements of a raid themselves (calling friends into a raid, scavs ignoring you from a distance, bigger pockets). Another thing that pushed me towards quitting was how they changed up some questlines, putting difficult tasks (some of which used to be dead end tasks) much earlier in the progression than they would normally appear (for example setup). They also changed up some old tasks to be (arguably) more difficult, for example punisher part 4, they moved the PMC kills subtask from shoreline to lighthouse, which is objectively a horrible map and a pain in the ass to play. Really the only thing that would get me to return to the game would be for them to remove all the P2W advantages they added post-EOD, but since people already paid for extra stash space and unheard edition they can't do that even if they wanted without either giving them all a refund (which they certainly won't do) or getting sued. I don't give a shit about the DLC stuff since I didn't buy EOD anyways, nor do I care about any of the DLC, the only thing I find scummy there is how they locked co-op offline raids behind a paywall, a feature that people have been asking for ever since the game came out.
Great video I think it sums it all up... As a standard edition sufferer who bought the game I am very disappointed in the performance and p2w front of the game.
great content!! i love the way you presented the information and still made it entertaining and light hearted. you really have a talent when it comes to critical thinking and analysis in the world of video games, i look forward to more reviews of yours!
Was expecting scav ate my legs to comment, but i'll do some work too, this video summarized the community, i completely lsot interest in playing tarkov pvp seeing all the issues it has, i just went on and played pve, retiring for peace and not need to grind so hard, the first day of access of pve i WAS RUSHING like hell, then i told myself, the things i loot will never go away, so why am i rushing? i should just chill out
When this killing gap with the Unheard Edition happened, my fav game, with his ups and downs made me leave it knowing I will never feel those intense emotions playing a video game
best video on tarkov since ol mate made the one about "the wiggle" keep it up :) fyi all the quests we play are side quests.... but the idea you suggest is awesome
yeah tarkov has been one of those games that I follow because I think it's really cool but with how BSG prioritizes the way the gameplay is actively hostile to new players and how "it gets good after 1,000 hours", of course new players are going to pick it up. And then the players who are dedicated to being the #1 player in Tarkov getting shafted because BSG has killed EFT's appeal to new players and now needs to squeeze them of all they're worth, well this was easy to predict happening last year, and even a few years prior. I have maybe 400 hours in tarkov, not giving them any more time, either.
Well made and good line of argument. Top video. They made additional changes since you wrote the script and the "Its not fair to new players" argument does not hold up for you personally as you are not new. Next wipe will tell your actual commitment to abstinence.
Thank you sir, and yes I am aware. I have yet to play the game again since April, and have since then completely removed myself from the Tarkov scene. This video took me a while to put together as I also work 9-5 throughout the week, but thought this was the best way to summarize all the issues that made me personally stop playing. Appreciate your gentleman-like criticism though, cheers brother.

thank you man, more to come
The classical music on the background made my ears so happy, I never thought no one else thinks classical music and tarkov fit so well
I started playing Tarkov in .5., was addicted and loved it for a while. I learned over time that Tarkov is like life. It sucks, and then you die.
i love how people still cope that wipe brings a level playing field when 80% of the players literally cheat and see green skeletons
I believe you mean wire mesh bodies or flat green bodies
damn man that was top tier narration and montage
This dude is gonna blow up mark my words
Really good video ma guy
