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.

Nah, from the get go I tried tarkov and it just not it. You can’t get fast to good weapons, cheaters, bad economic with no real opportunity to get money, and people who play much more than you will have so much more and there is no chance to kill them It’s just if you can’t play tarkov 6 hours a day, it’s not worth it
TL:DR: I quit Tarkov and haven't returned not just because I'm mad at Unheard Edition, but because the game's growing issues are no longer worth my time. As someone who also adored Tarkov, but quit after the Unheard Edition dropped, this video encapsulates exactly how I feel about the game. Tarkov is one of a kind, it's a game that is like no other. I dedicated so much time to it, made a lot of friends over it. But it always had glaring issues, massive glaring issues. The game was frustrating due to those issues, but I pressed on with it. However, the massive time sink that they were making new content like Lightkeeper, the amount of resources they were putting into Arena, the microtransactions and Unheard. As someone who played the game for years, it became harder and harder to justify playing the game for that many hours each wipe to reach the new content like Lightkeeper, and the other new content was half baked and felt like the money we put in to make Tarkov was being put into stuff nobody cared about. And with Unheard Edition, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Give them more money to put into more side projects that nobody cares about, just so you can get items and features that are basically legal cheating. Them adding them as 'earnable' for EoD was just MORE time sink for the players who had been grinding the game for hundreds of hours every wipe.
@@importedsausage5593 "Them adding them as 'earnable' for EoD was just MORE time sink for the players who had been grinding the game for hundreds of hours every wipe." That was my point here. I still don't like the fact that the Unheard items are in game at all, as I dislike most of the features they add. It has plenty of advantages, lots and lots of high-tier equipment that you cannot usually get until way later, as well as having all of the stuff you need to earn on EoD including expanded pockets, right away. EoD was always pay2win with it's equipment and container boost, but Unheard is just yet another level of pay2win in that regard.
@@importedsausage5593 I think you missed the majority of the point of my post. Also, they did add Unheard stuff to EoD, I never argued that, they added stuff that is more grind for EoD players like pockets. Unheard does give a lot of advantages right off the bat, like massive amounts of equipment from the start and also getting a lot of benefits with no additional grind. What I’m saying is that I think it’s ridiculous that the people who have put up with BSG’s issues the longest who supported them extra in it’s earliest days are now getting put on to the back, while people who give even more are given express access. It’s highly discouraging to those of us who have been here so long, we know BSG’s history.
After playing for 6 years I am happy to say I play PvE now, can enjoy the game and the new content. Haven't reached lvl 42 anax traders since they added reserve. Don't need PvP and probably will never get back to PvP
I remember when I started getting disillusioned with the development decisions behind Tarkov. It was watching a commentary by OnePegMG on a technical patch that buffed the damage of M556A1(?) by a few points. What I thought was a fairly benign change was pointed out to be a huge benefit since that increased the headshot kill range of rogues by about 100 metres, making it easier to clear Lighthouse sentries. How is this realistic? Tarkov already has incredibly punishing AI, but making them all have different health pools just adds confusion and is utterly brutal to fight against. Unlike other games, where I crave the challenge of a boss, I dreaded it in Tarkov. Alas, skill issue.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
Everything was very good and it was an exceptional video. I have just one gripe and that is the mention of hardware bans. Hardware bans, IP bans etc don't really make much of a difference because they are so easy to get around, although it would be nice to see them implemented. What would be even better is binning battle eye as a whole and going with something that actually works.
@@gpxzy They already utilize HWID bans for actual cheat detections(only manual bans weren't HWID iirc), if they don't anymore that's a relatively recent change. Thing just is, they're useless since every cheat comes with an HWID spoofer.
@@gpxzyit won’t, spoofing Heidi is very simple as simple as the cheats themselves there’s videos showing cheats with it as a built in feature for if this happens to the user.
Personally I "Escaped from Tarkov" at the end of the last wipe. For me it was solely a reaction to how much time I was playing EFT versus how much time I would likely need to play to advance significantly farther. I have a finite amount of time and EFT could easily fill all of my available free time - and then some. Since then I've enjoyed replaying some of the single player games in my collection.
Me as well brother, single player games are making a comeback, i’ve been replaying the Halo series, Borderlands, and other non competitive classics. Haven’t looked back.
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
I've been saying for a while now that BSG needs to randomize the starting quests. I also like the idea of having the RNG pick the items you need to find in raid for the initial quests. FU*K having everyone start on Ground Zero. If you don't play in a 5 man on day 1 of wipe, you're never going to get anywhere near the Terragroup HQ building, let alone get into the office to get the HD and successfully extract.
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.
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
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.
Here’s a side of the picture most people forget exists. With them adding all this new content every wipe it needs to be there for 1.0 anyways. Soo put it in the game (that is in beta, even though I hate saying it is but that’s the way BSG sees it) and while it may be broken, unoptimized, or just not welcome. It’s better to put it into the game now instead of at the 1.0 drop, they need 1.0 to be perfect honestly, and if they don’t add a whole lot of big things like the bipod/mounting system, new audio systems, guns, maps, map expansions, etc then there’s less that’ll break once 1.0 comes out, in theory at least. I haven’t really played since they got rid of FiR on the flee but that’s normal for me, I play a ton in the first 2 months then I get burnt out, come back for the fire sale event and boom, new wipe and it’s a new me.
Sadly I can’t quit I’m taking some time from it but I’ll be back for sure at release as there is no other game like this. Hopefully the graphic rework makes things better too.
Have never been able to play tarkov and I mean that in the most literal sense possible, since I bought the game every time I try to load into a raid I get disconnected with the only exceptions being factory and scav runs. I have contacted bsg prior and they did nothing this was back in 2021 when I first bought it. Ffw to two months ago the last time I played and lo and behold the bug still isn’t fixed. Thankfully I found out about spt lil over a year ago which has kept tarkov alive to me in some sense but it’s really annoying the game I payed forty bucks for still doesn’t work three years later.
Play AKI Single Player Tarkov. Monetarist economics theory alive and well. Let the rats and cheaters be happy locked in a lagged out server with each other while the rest of us equally happy on a local server. Pay Nikita $40 so you have access to the content, then AKI SPT to actually enjoy it. It's everything you ever wanted Tarkov to be: 1) Chance to play ALL the Lighthouse Keeper quests. 2) Play every weapon, every armor, every way. 3) Since it's your own server, change whatever you want that annoys you. 4) Experience 7N40, Frag-12 exploding shotgun shells, or whatever crazy load you want to run. 5) Year round Events on demand like gifts from Santa or Zombie Zryachiy.
I stopped because I got tired of being killed by people who invest triple the time in the game. And 20 $ for singleplayer isn't worth to me. I started to play all the singleplayer games from my pile of shame.
I agree completely, to be ahead of the curve in Tarkov, you need the same commitment as getting a second job. Glad to hear that escaping has led to some personal development as well, keep on
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.
When I first started Tark out, it was a whole New World. It was so alienated to every other game. I played couple thousand hours in now. I just feel guilty killing everybody because I’m just kind of maybe a little too good.
I've been seriously considering buying tarkov ever since the YT algorithm decided thats the next game for me two weeks ago, but with a cheating situation worse than apex and an asking price of a quarter of a G for decent queuing , it seems like they unironically don't want new players.
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!
In my eyes making new players pay more than we did originally is not bad because they can’t buy EOD anymore and them taking away season pass for an unfinished game is crazy I spent the extra 50 cause fuck it drip or drown + the boxes every wipe it’s like buying stash space in my eyes which wasn’t dlc content but I hope this next wipe we see some real progress cause they’ve been changing a lot of random shit
This is an excellent video, however the initial problems you have spoke is common amongst console gamers transitioning to PC gaming. There are lots of us who brought a gaming PC JUST to play Tarkov, however we just need take a step back and breath and accept new problems for a PC game that gives us what a console game can never give us. I have to agree though, the worst thing this game added was micro transactions AND the Unheard Edition was a slap in the face to the community.
You had me at lizard people on the moon controlling the government... I wholly agree my friend and that is the longest scav line that always scares me when it happens when i voip lol
Tarkov was in prime 2-3 years ago, around that time they started making strange decisions. As if they didnt understand the player base. It takes months for bsg to fix a simple issue that troubles the entire player base. They dont listen to the comunity, there are more issues with bsg than tarkov itself. There needs to be a change in the development, itself not in the game. They have prooven that they dont understand what the game needs to stay alive and produce income. When I heard of unheard (:D) I thought that this is the last change to the game, we are gonna grab the cash of hungry sweats and dip.
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.

@@Hypergen- like 2 or 3 weeks after unheard was released. eod has all the unheard content now besides the knife and the goofy cultist hoodie
@@importedsausage5593 "Them adding them as 'earnable' for EoD was just MORE time sink for the players who had been grinding the game for hundreds of hours every wipe."
That was my point here. I still don't like the fact that the Unheard items are in game at all, as I dislike most of the features they add. It has plenty of advantages, lots and lots of high-tier equipment that you cannot usually get until way later, as well as having all of the stuff you need to earn on EoD including expanded pockets, right away. EoD was always pay2win with it's equipment and container boost, but Unheard is just yet another level of pay2win in that regard.
@@importedsausage5593 I think you missed the majority of the point of my post. Also, they did add Unheard stuff to EoD, I never argued that, they added stuff that is more grind for EoD players like pockets. Unheard does give a lot of advantages right off the bat, like massive amounts of equipment from the start and also getting a lot of benefits with no additional grind. What I’m saying is that I think it’s ridiculous that the people who have put up with BSG’s issues the longest who supported them extra in it’s earliest days are now getting put on to the back, while people who give even more are given express access. It’s highly discouraging to those of us who have been here so long, we know BSG’s history.
damn man that was top tier narration and montage
After playing for 6 years I am happy to say I play PvE now, can enjoy the game and the new content. Haven't reached lvl 42 anax traders since they added reserve.
Don't need PvP and probably will never get back to PvP
Honest, well thought out summarization of the tarkov experience that was entertaining. Keep up the videos, great work man.
Glad you enjoyed, my brother
As someone who escaped tarkov, i couldn't agree more. It's so close to being the best game. But with everything going on i left
I got back into the game a couple days ago and bodying unheard edition players brought me pure euphoria
Honestly shocked that this only your second video on your channel.
Keep the videos coming.
Thank you my brother, will do
I remember when I started getting disillusioned with the development decisions behind Tarkov.
It was watching a commentary by OnePegMG on a technical patch that buffed the damage of M556A1(?) by a few points. What I thought was a fairly benign change was pointed out to be a huge benefit since that increased the headshot kill range of rogues by about 100 metres, making it easier to clear Lighthouse sentries.
How is this realistic?
Tarkov already has incredibly punishing AI, but making them all have different health pools just adds confusion and is utterly brutal to fight against. Unlike other games, where I crave the challenge of a boss, I dreaded it in Tarkov.
Alas, skill issue.
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.
boosted my ego exponentially and I appreciate you, more to come
After 1000+ plus hours of Tarkov, I couldn't bring myself to pick the gameup anymore and went back to stalker.
such a good quality video for such a small channel... time to get things balanced boys, as all things should be.
as all things should be
Didnt expect a good written vid with 2k views, glad i gave it a change, gl
Tarkov is pain disguised as pain and I love it.
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.
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
How it feels to have hope in playing MW2 multiplayer again in 2024, only for it to be stripped away mere hours before the mod released....
This was the first time RUclips recommended an actual banger of a video. Easy sub gain.
oh boi I was not ready for that MW2 execution scene of Ghost and myself
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!
you’re the man
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.
The thing that pisses me off is the second they got potential competition they actually started trying before that bsg did almost nothing
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
Everything was very good and it was an exceptional video. I have just one gripe and that is the mention of hardware bans. Hardware bans, IP bans etc don't really make much of a difference because they are so easy to get around, although it would be nice to see them implemented. What would be even better is binning battle eye as a whole and going with something that actually works.
Thank you, and I agree, I don’t think hardware bans would completely resolve the cheating issue but it could make some difference.
@@gpxzy They already utilize HWID bans for actual cheat detections(only manual bans weren't HWID iirc), if they don't anymore that's a relatively recent change. Thing just is, they're useless since every cheat comes with an HWID spoofer.
@@gpxzyit won’t, spoofing Heidi is very simple as simple as the cheats themselves there’s videos showing cheats with it as a built in feature for if this happens to the user.
Personally I "Escaped from Tarkov" at the end of the last wipe. For me it was solely a reaction to how much time I was playing EFT versus how much time I would likely need to play to advance significantly farther. I have a finite amount of time and EFT could easily fill all of my available free time - and then some. Since then I've enjoyed replaying some of the single player games in my collection.
Me as well brother, single player games are making a comeback, i’ve been replaying the Halo series, Borderlands, and other non competitive classics. Haven’t looked back.
Play the single player tarkov mod!
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
Thank you and I appreciate that, i’m glad you found your way here
Honestly, running it like an mmo with a like 5$ sub would solve a lot of their income issues helping dev. Then also add a barrier to bot accounts
I've been saying for a while now that BSG needs to randomize the starting quests. I also like the idea of having the RNG pick the items you need to find in raid for the initial quests. FU*K having everyone start on Ground Zero. If you don't play in a 5 man on day 1 of wipe, you're never going to get anywhere near the Terragroup HQ building, let alone get into the office to get the HD and successfully extract.
Yesss and it would exponentially help with queue times and just general enjoyment early wipe for sure
legit surprised at the quality for a 2.4k channel u gained a sub
appreciate you brother
Production and content quality on the same or higher level as 500k sub chanels. Good stuff brah
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.
i escaped Tarkov just to walk right back into Chernarus
Imagine DayZ using modern graphics/game mechanics! 🤗
I escaped to SPT with the coop mod and I'm having a blast again, I'm not sure I'll even return to base EFT
0:19 my man
When you finally escaped from Tarkov (true ending)
Next time for $400 they’ll add a gps tracker for everyone in your squad and a blue dot above your friendlies
task shuffling seems like a good idea
Dude I was mind blown to see your subscriber count. I deadass watched the whole thing w no problem keep it up man
BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER BANGER OH MY GOD
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
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.
There will be no full raid content here my friend, cheers my friend
I didn’t even notice how many subs you had until after the video. Great video man, I wxpwct seeing you grow big soon!
I'm sticking to SPT for the foreseeable future. Too many straws on this camel's back.
I remember seeing your tik tok tarkov edits and always throughly enjoyed them good to see ya on RUclips
I appreciate that man, welcome back
Here’s a side of the picture most people forget exists. With them adding all this new content every wipe it needs to be there for 1.0 anyways. Soo put it in the game (that is in beta, even though I hate saying it is but that’s the way BSG sees it) and while it may be broken, unoptimized, or just not welcome. It’s better to put it into the game now instead of at the 1.0 drop, they need 1.0 to be perfect honestly, and if they don’t add a whole lot of big things like the bipod/mounting system, new audio systems, guns, maps, map expansions, etc then there’s less that’ll break once 1.0 comes out, in theory at least.
I haven’t really played since they got rid of FiR on the flee but that’s normal for me, I play a ton in the first 2 months then I get burnt out, come back for the fire sale event and boom, new wipe and it’s a new me.
i do not need new guns/maps, the wipe keeps things fresh, i want the game being fixed, operation health style
Wonderful video man ! The feeling of a gamer is on this ! Tx for that
Appreciate you my man
Sadly I can’t quit I’m taking some time from it but I’ll be back for sure at release as there is no other game like this. Hopefully the graphic rework makes things better too.
Have never been able to play tarkov and I mean that in the most literal sense possible, since I bought the game every time I try to load into a raid I get disconnected with the only exceptions being factory and scav runs. I have contacted bsg prior and they did nothing this was back in 2021 when I first bought it. Ffw to two months ago the last time I played and lo and behold the bug still isn’t fixed. Thankfully I found out about spt lil over a year ago which has kept tarkov alive to me in some sense but it’s really annoying the game I payed forty bucks for still doesn’t work three years later.
nothing felt better than calling in the tactical nuke
tactical nuke inbound, it’s over
Play AKI Single Player Tarkov. Monetarist economics theory alive and well. Let the rats and cheaters be happy locked in a lagged out server with each other while the rest of us equally happy on a local server. Pay Nikita $40 so you have access to the content, then AKI SPT to actually enjoy it. It's everything you ever wanted Tarkov to be:
1) Chance to play ALL the Lighthouse Keeper quests.
2) Play every weapon, every armor, every way.
3) Since it's your own server, change whatever you want that annoys you.
4) Experience 7N40, Frag-12 exploding shotgun shells, or whatever crazy load you want to run.
5) Year round Events on demand like gifts from Santa or Zombie Zryachiy.
I will be trying PvE, we will see what happens, maybe a similar experience
“im bouta nuke it up” me when i eated all the chili
very good vid, this guy should make gaming content
hey buddy pal
I stopped because I got tired of being killed by people who invest triple the time in the game. And 20 $ for singleplayer isn't worth to me. I started to play all the singleplayer games from my pile of shame.
Great vid!
There's a mod for SPT called project fika and it lets you play with friends over coop. Aparently you can install it into cracked tarkov too
I escaped tarkov and i feel alot better. It encouraged me to step away from gaming completely which has led to other healthy changes
I agree completely, to be ahead of the curve in Tarkov, you need the same commitment as getting a second job. Glad to hear that escaping has led to some personal development as well, keep on
Randomly came here, glad I did.
This was gold man 👍
earned my sub with just one video, good job
I escaped from Tarkov as well. Its been uninstalled for a while now
Dude this video was wild and beautifully edited, well done
Single Player Tarkov. I never touch the real one ever again. The mods solve every single problem
Quality content, well informed, well spoken and entertaining. Hope to continue to see content from you.
Much appreciated
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.
Dude this video is absolutely incredible. Good job man more of this please and thanks 😊
Thank you brother, more to come.
When I first started Tark out, it was a whole New World. It was so alienated to every other game. I played couple thousand hours in now. I just feel guilty killing everybody because I’m just kind of maybe a little too good.
I've been seriously considering buying tarkov ever since the YT algorithm decided thats the next game for me two weeks ago, but with a cheating situation worse than apex and an asking price of a quarter of a G for decent queuing , it seems like they unironically don't want new players.
SP-Tarkov is my new home
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!
Appreciate that my guy, will remember
In my eyes making new players pay more than we did originally is not bad because they can’t buy EOD anymore and them taking away season pass for an unfinished game is crazy I spent the extra 50 cause fuck it drip or drown + the boxes every wipe it’s like buying stash space in my eyes which wasn’t dlc content but I hope this next wipe we see some real progress cause they’ve been changing a lot of random shit
This is an excellent video, however the initial problems you have spoke is common amongst console gamers transitioning to PC gaming. There are lots of us who brought a gaming PC JUST to play Tarkov, however we just need take a step back and breath and accept new problems for a PC game that gives us what a console game can never give us.
I have to agree though, the worst thing this game added was micro transactions AND the Unheard Edition was a slap in the face to the community.
I laughed almost all the way through the video, good job lol
You had me at lizard people on the moon controlling the government... I wholly agree my friend and that is the longest scav line that always scares me when it happens when i voip lol
Tarkov was in prime 2-3 years ago, around that time they started making strange decisions. As if they didnt understand the player base. It takes months for bsg to fix a simple issue that troubles the entire player base. They dont listen to the comunity, there are more issues with bsg than tarkov itself. There needs to be a change in the development, itself not in the game. They have prooven that they dont understand what the game needs to stay alive and produce income. When I heard of unheard (:D) I thought that this is the last change to the game, we are gonna grab the cash of hungry sweats and dip.
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.
Its sad that this is the way its going and you're not alone to quit, many maannny loyal fans, have quit I dont think they will recover from this if they nail the things you said (Optimisation and AC) Hope dies last
GREAT video man, commentary, jokes and editing. Instant sub for the hard work. Keep it up!
I appreciate that man, more to come
You know an EOD player by the fact that they call the secure container "Gamma" by habit.
