You're still going to die a lot. But the changes reduce the suck. You gonna be playing it?
dude im right with you i couldnt play and then i decided because of the patch to try again and omg im killing servers like wtf this is awesome
No Hause i dont have a pc
Started the wipe and I’m liking it. Played around in a single player practice on the new map running around vaulting on things. There are a lot of places where you can abuse the vaulting but I still think it’s a good change
So cool to see you in Tarkov man, for me even before this patch this is one the best games ever, the feeling, the satisfaction when accomplishing a goal or just getting a single kill it's unmatched.
Are you playing EFT Arena also?
And the game has tons of cheaters
The recoil change is godlike. So, so nice! Basic, unmodified weapons are finally viable and not a jumpy mess, like it should be IRL.
Have you shot any ar full auto? You have zero control after the 3rd bullet
@@TheUltimateHacker007 Are you high ? The recoil is near perfect
@@theslavicrat3784 the gun bounces like crazy and the sights become completely unaligned. My pmc is almost holding his gun sideways. You're just describing how pistols shoot
Full auto of what caliber? Up to assault rifles caliber (5.56) full auto is definitely viable in fairly close encounters as long as you control it (and in game you control it with the mouse). It's only battle rifles that are really bad in full auto.@@TheUltimateHacker007
@@TheUltimateHacker007 have you actually played this wipe?? One of the main upgrades to recoil is that your sights don’t go off your screen…
As someone who absolutely adores Tarkov and has hit max traders every wipe I've played, it's great to see that not only do people who had a rough time with the game previously have much more interest in it now, but that experienced players who liked how it was are ALSO REALLY enjoying it. I didn't think BSG could really please everyone, but it seems they've gotten closer than they ever have with this patch.
exactly it's so exciting to see how most people are really enjoying this wipe. bsg is winning rn for sure
I think you guys are nuts. Im casual and tried to play this wipe and I’ve had nothing but ultra sweats camping objectives and head face after head eyes after top of the head again and again and again.
You could tell me to get gud, but I already know I’m shit and I don’t think that’s possible outside of 1000s of hours put into the game.
@@ryanmitchell4044 I can bet that your problem is running from spawn instantly to complete objectives. Best way to complete quests at start is to run night raids and wait some time before moving from spawn. This way you will avoid most people and when it's 20 minutes to raid end most quests doors will be open as well. Tarkov is slower game then most people realise :)
@@ryanmitchell4044 casual play can be tough but like the pepe guy says, you should take your time when trying to get those early wipe quests done because pretty much everyone has the same objectives. if you just take it slow you'll make it!
@@rarestpepe8835 that’s a weird assumption, I waited in the bushes at customs for 20 minutes for these people to leave the objective. The last thing I’m doing is just B lining it into an objective, but they weren’t ever planning on leaving they were there for me.
Eventually got to the point I was starving to death. Got up knew there was a player somewhere inside the tree in front of me, but that didn’t matter. Head face. I couldn’t see him at all staring right at his muzzle flash, but he saw me like I was standing in an open field. One of countless times.
Before the recoil made me feel like a small child. No grown man has that much recoil
nahh now everyone is a USPSA grandmaster
Clearly the devs haven't either.
That's a huge generalization, a mp5 9mm full auto is nothing compared to a SA58 3 0 hate full auto. @@collinmurphy107
@@collinmurphy107dawg I know from personal experience full auto guns do NOT have tarkov recoil
@@collinmurphy107 might wanna hit the gym btw.
SMG pray would be meta early stages
You’ve never actually played Tarkov if you haven’t unlocked the flea at least once
real
Facts, ive been playing since 2018 but never have gotten past lvl 20ish in a wipe and i still feel like a noob. Quiting before unlocking the flea is like quitting in the tutorial lol
Plot twist, people could have played tarkov before the flea was implemented
Right the game becomes completely different hahaha
Flea marketing propaganda
It actually makes me feel better that i was not alone in this exact same situation 😂
1:15 called the mp5 a rifle, im revoking your tactical card
well... the barrel is rifled, so?... :D
it uses 9mm which blows the lung out of the body so it's basically a rifle
It's got a stock! What would the ATF call it???
@@TactiGamer not a rifle? its not chambered in rifle caliber therefore it is not a rifle..
@@void8010 he's obviously joking
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I stopped playing Tarkov because I don't have a lot of time to sink into Tarkov since I work out of state. An them implementing this system allows me to actually play the Game with my hands turning into a Sweat Factory
5:38 Hi! Tarkov pro here. You can bind healing items to numbers by hovering over them with your mouse and using numbers 4-0 on your keyboard :)
A Coop/PVE Tarkov with toned down not quite as BS AI would be amazing.
Oh yeah, that'd be THE GOAT thing to happen, honestly.
You should look into stalker gamma 💯
@@dotdot-yt Or SPT, but neither of them has coop
theres a new game coming out called grey zone warfare, should be what youre looking for. Its like ghost recon wildlands but more realistic, first person, and pvp as well.
im the high level, hour sink player that you mentioned, and this update is absolutely gorgeous for everyone. early level progression is more fun than its ever been, and my friends who are pretty casual about playing tarkov have been on all the time, loving every second. the uptick in new players is EXTREMELY noticeable, and i love voiping and helping out the new guys. matching times are also great, as in the past youd be stuck in 8 minute queues on populated servers, but now i average 2-3 minute matching times. im really excited for the future of tarkov now, because it seemed to look pretty dull the past few months prior to this release.
Yeah same here 8k hours and counting already level 25 and I love seeing all these new players. Glad to see the casuals coming in (free kills) and seeing more people enjoy this beautiful game
In order to have decent firearms, you had to use like all kinds of attachments to make the gun bearable. Now it’s different and I love it.
Gonna give Tarkov another go now
You'll love it👍🏼
I think you'll like it now, Terry!
its awesome.
put it in reverse terry!!!
We await your opinion, if you enjoy do let us know!
Good stuff, I'm happy that this patch has opened the game up to you and other people like you. It's a great thing. When Tarkov is good, there's no other game like it and this patch has introduced a lot of good.
I'd very much enjoy hour long videos of your journey in tarkov tacti. It'd be very entertaining to watch you get slowly better and better, and learn which meds heal heavy bleeds :)
You are speaking out of my soul bro. Have had exactly the same experience as you and I am sooooo happy now. I can finally make use of my cs:go fps games aim
Purely from the perspective of realism, super sweaty pvp and tactical shooters the recoil was crazy
Im so happy that my fps skills actually play a role from lvl 1. Was hard to push through before knowing some high lvl dude had no recoil while my gun would fly out of my hands
Considering guns actually feel like shooting guns in other FPS games now, I enjoy it a lot more.
Semi auto and short bursts have been working wonders for me with pretty much bare bone, stock guns.
As someone who can’t no life the game but has decent FPS skills, as long as I can get decent ammo now, even stock guns are useable to kill chads.
Yeah you still can’t get decent ammo without high level traders.
I'm a casual player, have had Tarkov for 1.5 years but haven't played it much after a while. I tried it now, went into Ground Zero, and I can't do shit on that map. I never survived in 10 raids... I can't play this game anymore. I like the maps, but there's too much details for me to win a fight. I only play Arena.
Glad they finally listened to the players, about time, cause I was scared the game was going to die
It probably still will Nikita has shown he doesnt really want to listen to players
No. It's a “crabs in a bucket” map. Need to reduce the number of PMCs, reduce the number and pace of scav spawns, and open up at least 2 routes in and out of every quest POI.
As is, the quests funnel everyone together and only the survivor Might get out to ding the quest complete. Maybe.
Really cool to see Regular MilSim RUclips enjoying Tarkov this wipe.
Hope you stick with it!
As another milsim guy I say Tarkov is still arcade to milsim standards but its slowly moving there.
@@17MrLeon Lol sure thing bud.
As someone with an unhealthy amount of hours in Tarkov, I am so stoked for more players getting into the game again! Tarkov is in its best state it has ever been in right now!
Four or five wipes and never unlocked the flea market? Finally, someone who gets me and my experience
I only got to lvl 20 after months of playing but never winning fights, basically headbutting my way to the flea, god i wasted so much time in eft
@@elgringofeo9348same on the very off chance I win a fight in this game it almost certainly comes down to pure luck. I can be aiming right at someone and not hit them at all and for them it’s like my character is one big head and eyes.
@@ryanmitchell4044 yeah gunfights feel off for me in eft in a way ive never seen before, idk if its desync or whatnot but ive generally am fine in any other game, im not great but im decent, its always felt off
never unlocked the flea market? HOW??
One can unlock the flea market in 3-4 weeks just by doing the fetch quests and not killing 1 pmc.
@@elgringofeo9348 @ryanmitchell4044 what you are saying is exactly how i experienced this game for multiple wipes until i learned the following which totally transformed the game for me:
1. there is always desync: if you wait for the person to come around the corner before shooting, that person is actually ahead and sees you first. you must always push, not react, charging around the corner will give you the lag advantage.
2. ammo ammo ammo ammo: what comes out of the gun is more important than any gun or armour. a worn out m4 from a scav with good ammo is more deadly than a 3000 000 rouble HK416 build with weak ammo.
using low grade ammo against enemies with even cheap armour who has good ammo puts you at a disadvantage because you have to hit him with 10-15 rounds because your low grade ammo is being absorbed by their armour, while it only take like 3-4 of their good ammo to blast through your armour and kill you first.
the above 2 points are why you feel like you are getting killed instantly while you gun does nothing: tis because you are lagging behind the enemy and you are hitting him but your weak bullets does not kill whilst their good ammo kills you first.
3. full auto is the name of the game: there is no single shot nothing if its an assaults rifle or smg. you go out of your way to get the best ammo. if you got weak rounds aim for the thighs or if you got armour piercing rounds aim center mass then MAG DUMP until the enemy falls over. the trick is to control the recoil and keep moving while hitting the target . no crouching or prone single shot pew pew. its drrrrrrr down sight whilst strafing left or right.
4. he ain't dead until you see his stash.
5. there is always another enemy, double check before looting.
6. don't play on the standard edition, minimum prepare for escape edition- the standard stash is just way too small in the beginning. having a larger stash (and secure container) for quest items and gear before unlocking the flea is like pay to win.
They need to add a gps or something that will guide you to extracts. I get lost all the time. I don’t have the time to learn all the extracts and it really sucks getting loot and losing it because you don’t know where you are
I never really undestood the recoil from previous patches, so much for your character being a PMC eh... I'm really enjoying this wipe so far, more so than other ones.
Having high recoil made sense for the Scavs at least, because they are meant to be just regular people who's training might be at best, a half-remembered conscription where they didn't learn shit.
@@TripleAlfafa the main problem wasn't the high recoil (though that was one of them), it was how the recoil handled. the rifles or any other gun with a stock would have insane muzzle flip and just bounced around, which is physically impossible when firing a stocked firearm. it's meant to recoil into your shoulder and upwards, as depicted with the new recoil.
i could see the purpose, like maybe it could be tied to the mastery mechanic and the more you use a weapon the faster you can handle and manage recoil
its because the game is an RPG rather than just a shooter so you're expected to get better at skills through use, leveling and getting better attachments. good in theory but just not implemented well. so many people see it as just a hard shooter and forget its closer to an MMO-RPG grind than other shooters out there. but the complaint is the same, the recoil sucked hard and didn't make sense lore wise, as you said with the whole trained PMC idea. this is the first wipe where ive hit flea and level 2 traders in 3 days flat where before it took me weeks. i finally feel like i can actually fight and win.
They aren't regular people. The scav description says they are former pmc's@@TripleAlfafa
Finally a kiddy pool for me to learn the game vs what was the previously a shark tank for new Trakov players such as my shelf.
i tried playing and ive just been dying the most stupid ways. literally died to a 1 shot in the forearm.
It might be easier now for new players but let me tell you I still encountered that Tarkvos arcade bullet sponge moment emptying whole mag of 5.56 into player not killing him. I did shot guy in the head and when he survived that I fired entire burst into him and he still survived. I might be used to more realistic shooters like Arma or Insurgency but I think Tarkov still could move more to realism away from the arcade feel
Only issue are there are still a whole lot of cheaters and a lot of my friends who I shilled this game out to loved it but have trouble telling a cheater from a regular players, so they stopped playing :/
Ground Zero is an illusion of space, it's actually quite a tight map so you're going to run into people way more often than you think, and being a noob/starter map, as a solo scav / PMC expect trigger happy scaredy scav players who shoot other scavs and pistol/smg PMC solos/duos (cause of the quests).
As well as the occasional lvl ~10-15 group camping "snipey" spots on 1st/2nd building floors.
I love this! I liked playing Tarkov in early 2023 but getting killed by No-Lifers ruined the experience for me so i'm glad i can enjoy the game and not be a ultimate gamer
i just bought tarkov a few hours ago and i’m excited to hop in
The fact recoil is manageable this wipe and that armor hitboxes have been reworked 100% you can be casual and still have a fighting chance. The new hitboxes to the armpit/neck (usually unprotected) are a gamechange for everyone
Yesterday I killed a lvl 26 ttv sweatlord, and even got his armour intact. Armpit meta is real :-)
@@kmieciu4everwill it sit in your stash for a couple weeks?
@@Boosted_aj Already lost it to a lvl 1 player. It appears that AK-74M with PSO-1 does mąkę a good DMR :-)
i used to love tarkov. you're right about it basically needing your life in order to be competitive at all
my problems with tarkov now are, i just can't use headphones. with wife and 3 kids and something always needing my attention, i cannot play any game which requires headphones or cannot be paused.
just the way it is now.
If ur not drinking alone in your shower after a session of tarkov, then you aren’t playing tarkov
yeah i like to feel that when is my fault and not some dumb rng and rpg mechanics
Once you get to 15 and get the flea it becomes more manageable but still, waiting 5+ minutes for a game where you can potentially die within the first 5 minutes is overboard
My biggest gripe actually was the extract zones not being shown. Are they now? If not then im good.
Actually a great video tackling how the recoil patch made the game more accesible for new comers
A step to the right direction, but it's not enough. The main problem is that most people join teams. We need 2 different modes, one with teams and one solo.
then tarkov wouldnt be tarkov cope with it
Then don't engage the squads. play smart. play for survival.
@@Septicshites I was playing this game almost from the beginning, don't tell me what is Tarkov.
Tarkov is not Fortnite. There are no rules about teaming, you can team with whomever you want whenever you want.
@@johnrenzcahilig9858 it's not that simple.
Nikita making Tarkov more fun was not on my 2023 Tarkov Bingo card ngl
Especially when he for the longest time has had the mindset of Tarkov not being designed to be fun
Problem is the game keeps getting more and more grindy after every wipe, especially now that more stuff than ever is locked behind crafting which is a mechanic that only rewards those who spend a lot of time playing to maximize the workbench.
Oh, and it's even worse if you don't own the EOD since the game is designed on purpose to be frustrating and pushing you into buying it, which could be fine if you kept the hideout progress, but it becomes stupidly boring when you're forced to do it every single wipe.
I don't like quests in Tarkov. I like how maps are designed with a lot of details but that's problem where players see me and I can't see them. That's why I quit Tarkov.
Ye grinding up hideout becomes really tedious, and I played a lot of arena so I missed the beginning of the wipe, and now it kinda feels pointless cuz I can't possibly keep up with all the chads, I think im gonna stay with arena this wipe.
"you have the tools you need to take out that kitted chad" *gets You Are Not My Brother achievement*
I agree that a lot has improved with this patch. But cheaters and desync as well as bush campers are still here. So I doubt that the honeymoon phase will last very long. People are as always overexited because they got new toys so to speak. This will subside once they get shit on enough in a week or two.
All this doesn't change how other players play and will pass more time in loading screens than the game itself
I am not first and I liked my own coment.
I liked it too don't worry
fun fact, you can bring in people over lvl 20 so long as the party lead is under lvl 20 into ground zero
Really appreciated the Romans 12:12 quote, lets me know not all gamers are degenerates XD
i appreciated the verse at the end... never noticed you did that before
I think every one of his videos have it!
No, they can not. As long as there is a flea market....
The flea is a gutted shell of its former power. Really just useful for hideout and gun parts now. There's almost no good gear on the flea.
what? its gives access to better parts before you can unlock them if anything it helps
You mean the one way to reliably get just about anything you want?
The traders don’t offer shit, and the shit they do offer is, well, shit.
I like being able to kit out a weapon to my satisfaction without having to spend dozens of hours questing (punching myself in the crotch) to get rep
Bro is onto nothing 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣🗣🗣
In your tarkov, the casual playerbase will have absolutely no chance against the streamers/no lifes who play 7 hours a day due to gear inequality being through the roof. Any altercation to item rarity and loot spawns has only ever been in favor of the extreme players, since their hours mitigate the rarity compared to everybody else. We have already seen this with the flea-hightier ammo changes. These players still run 5a1/995 every raid, yet nobody else can get their hands on even 6a1. The flea market helps balance this.
The snowball effect in tarkov is HARD! Gear and especially ammo makes such a huge difference, that you barely stand a chance without leveling the traders. As someone that did all the quests for numerous wipes, i dont want to quest anymore. Means i sadly cant play tarkov no more, but its fair. Hope yall r havin fun with it🎉
Nah, you still can buy good medicine, decent armor, mid and some high tier weapon with acceptable ammo, grenades, backpacks, armored masks (even META) and so much other stuff just from the Flea. You need to lvl up the traders only for better prices, 5+ armor plates and some limited things like RPD, Spear, KS-23, AXMC. Now skill is more important than raw price of equipment on a PMC.
@@remix2822 you dont need armor this wipe cause you will still die from head throat most of the time with current recoil control and any shitty bullet will penetrate that class 3 throat protection :D I also disagree with skill is more important now then before, I was smashing those geared bois on shoreline resort / interchange and customs running in just tactec and as val / sa-58 previous wipes and i didnt even need to make meta val, just any ergo grip in front with laser cause aiming down the sight in this game doesnt reward you at close-mid distance, people werent that afraid to push previous wipes, now its just waiting game when they will hear your steps, not even try to crab walk, people will just sit in 1 spot for 20 minutes afraid to peak and since there is little to no recoil and extra too many hitboxes if you get ambushed by such rat you wont survive this time because you will get head throat or armpit hit, spraying with svd / shotguns and other 762 calibers feels like shooting a bb gun, now game is not rewarding for those who spend many hours playing it, no point in playing 6-8 h daily, if you remember how it was in alpha tarkov(if u had a chance to experience it) fights in my opinion were much better in alpha cause of very bad recoil that forced people to push each other at close distance (there was no face hitbox back then btw, headshot was just a headshot), fights were longer and they felt in my opinion more rewarding, even when you got that shitty loot from the enemy (cause there was little content in game) the feeling after won fight was really good and there were so many 4-5 man squads all the time, fun times
bro, I have owned Tarkov since August 2016. Yet I have only 250hrs in game. All 200 hrs are in this patch. It is a completely new feel. I absolutely love it. I hit my flea for my 1st time, I am lvl 21 my highest ever and I am a questing fucking freak. I LOVE IT NOW. So amazing how very basic changing completely turned a game around. I even grabbed two new noobs to get the game and play with me and they are loving it.
Love to finally may have chance to survive. Does the thing that matches people under 15 level only works in this specific map?
FOUND IT : (PATCH NOTES)
- The location is intended for beginner players from level 1 to 20;
- PMCs of higher levels (20+) will not be able to access the location;
- Scavs will have access to the location at any player level;
- New starter quests have been added to the location;
I am a new player, but I've learned a lot in this first month. I just unlocked Flea, which is great. But before I unlocked it, Fence was my best friend. He sells T4 armor often, ammo that penetrates for cheap, and weapons for all tastes. Really nice tbh.
I've played early wipe several different times and always bounce off after a couple days. This wipe has been the most invested I've ever been in a single wipe.
This update brought me back to tarkov and wow, I can actually enjoy the game now.
The recoil made no sense before. PMC’s we’re supposed to be highly trained fighters but can’t control the recoil of an mp5?
Ok hear me out for ppl starting their first wipe. This is my 3rd wipe. Each time the wipe happens I always get discouraged to play because I worked so hard to get high level. I always started the wipe late usually between 1-2 months. I actually enjoy it because there is not as much competition for the common quests. Yeah you run into ppl with gear but they aren't sitting there camping a quest like they do at the start of wipe. This wipe is the first wipe that I started day 1. I find that you don't get as much help if you are new. People are scrounging for any gear they can get. Where if you start wipe late and run into a chad one he doesn't want your trash gear and two low level dog tags are useless.
The recoil was so bad before. I remember with a semi auto ak and a red dot you couldn't hit shit because the sights where hoping around like you didn't have a stock. Such a huge improvement
I am a little similar. I've played Tarkov for a while now, since the patch before the shoreline release patch. And there was only one time where I was good at the game and it was the only time I unlocked the flee and it was around when Labs came out. And after that I was back to trash. But I am glad the game is getting better : )
Lets not forget about the hackers and all the cheaters, once you are past lvl 15 you are going to get clapped very frequently by them... just look at Shroud's experience, he has the aiming reaction and skill of a Cobra-Cat hybrid, yet gets clapped by hackers and once he spots them, he just runs for 10 minutes straight.
My main issue is still that I don't like the quest system, and I don't like not having a map forcing you to memorize everything to even just find exits. If they made the extractions marked, simplified the ammo types and made the quests less cancer I think i would LOVE tarkov!
Ive tried the patch and it feels good, But this video gave me the push i needed to actualy sit down and try the game out for real. Thank you Tacti!
I really hope they expand the level based match making to the entire game somehow. What I would really want though is some kind of progression based matchmaking. They have said that there will be storyline missions to progress through the game and actually "Escape" from Tarkov, so it would make sense to group players by where they are in the story.
You could have maps unlock as you progress and also multiple versions of each map. Probably only 2 for each map; one without the boss and one with. That way the game would get progressively more difficult as you move towards the end of the story.
100 percent
No. I think that's to far..killing some high lvl juicer with meta everything is part of the fun
@@steveng7007 oh yeah true, but maybe ground zero could have proper matchmaking for the noobs to lvl up?
As another casual tarkov player, I'd say focus on completing tasks up rather than pvp. That's the key to levelling up
The big problem of tarkov to me is the price. Triple A games from 2017 (same year of tarkov) cost here in italy around 20 euros, while tarkov is still above 60 euros which is a damn lot here. I know "it's still a early access" but damn, it's been an early access for like 7 years already
As a heavy tarkov player that's what drove me away was resetting constantly and having to put my whole life a side and grind for weeks to make the game playable for the next few months casually
Ground Zero is a fun cool map but, The map has too many players on it 10-12 PMC's can spawn which is pretty high considering the fact this map is expose to help new players get into the game its incredibly hard for them. I have 2 new tarkov friends and I was trying to help them on ground zero but they where getting killed by other players and I'd end up killing 5 PMC's and extracting this happened probably 10 times before they actually got the tasks done. I have 5k hours in tarkov to me Ground Zero is just a better factory not a map for new players to learn.
i actually enjoy getting in gun fights now because i dont need to spend 50k+ rubles in attachments every time i wanna use a gun.
I was once in a similar situation with tarkov. I didn’t have the patience to grind to be better for several wipes. I still adored the game, but it was a love hate. I wanted to be good at it so bad but I couldn’t get over that hump. I finally sat down one wipe and just told myself to play and finally got better. Racked up 1000hrs since 2021. So glad I did that because no game gives me the same feeling as tarkov. The new additions of this wipe only solidify that live for this game more. I’m excited to see what BSG does next.
Only thing that ruins tarkov is the players - SPT single player tarkov has all the tarkov ya want without the cheetaz n chads
I was an early adopter of Tarkov. Introduced my friend to the game for my second wipe and we enjoyed it a lot. I then quit early into the next wipe due to the many issues with playing as a "casual" while he kept playing for many many wipes. It was always kinda annoying because the concept was so good, I liked the hardcore elements etc. but it got to a point where it didn't feel hardcore, rather a literal job to keep up.
I think this is a step in the right direction to make sure that the game mechanics are implemented in a way that feels hardcore and feels Tarkov, but also doesn't leave the game borderline unplayable for people who can't dedicate their life to grinding it. I always loved the hardcore elements and would never want it to change (i'd go play warzone or DMZ if I wanted that), so I am glad that they're now finding a way to maintain that hardcore feeling while fixing a lot of the issues that came with that.
Definitely gonna have to redownload and give it another chance.
Bro Tarkov is still so hard yet rewarding with so much pain involved. even with all the changes i hope you stay as optimistic as you are in this video. This game isnt for everyone but if youre enjoying it im happy. ive wanted you to make tarkov content for years. Keep it up! -5000hour tarkov rat
the bit at 2:23 where the scav runs out the door and then you can see him run the other direction 2 seconds later made me holler
Im a casual player and I enjoyed Tarkov for years now.
Thanks for this vid, never got into tarkov but my friends were recently asking me to play it after this update, but didnt go into why it was better - only touched on the recoil. The fact ground zero is level capped makes me much more inclined to want to try raids vs getting beamed by some really good player. Great vid!
never getting flea market is wild the game doesnt even start until you get it
I think this just made me decide to buy Tarkov. Always wanted to play this game, but I just don't have tons of time to sink into it. But now with this new mode, I think I'll finally pull the trigger since it looks like I can finally enjoy it at my own pace.
its deff getting better but there are still so much improvements to be made, like a hidden elo maybe. Make sure that sol queuers dont end up in raids with fully chadded squads.
Nut yeah the recoil and armor changes makes hell of a difference, but once you leave ground zero and are behind the curve its back to good old getting stomped.
No you have to manage so damn much. I as a airborne infantry combat veteran. Having to use a million different rounds, a ton of health nonsense. Loot stack nonsense. And people about the recoil system means you don't know guns. If you are full auto then you shouldn't be shooting. So now they made it for people to just spray every gun.
I bought the game this wipe and heard so much regarding how good it got for newer players, yet every run i tried so far i died right at the beginning or got tarkov'ed one way or another, and all of them were scav runs also. you always see online how scavs are basically easy mode low risk runs but i haven't been able to experience any of it, the game feels so random, it's never certain for even a second if whether you're safe, I feel like someone I can't see has a killshot on me 24/7 no matter where i am, I feel like solo is still way too stressful for a casual player like myself.
hi, just because a map is designed for max level 15 doesn't mean that people who play on that map don't know how to play, there is no machtmaking and it matches you with players with 6 thousand hours of gameplay. that balance you see is a placebo effect.
my problem with tarkov is it take like 10 minutes to even get in a game just to die within 30 seconds then it's straight back to waiting 10 minutes
Every streamer ever: "I will link that below". Me: "Where the fuck is the link..."
Worst part about Tarkov is that without EOD its so frustrating to play its basically a ticking clock until the player either Buys EOD or leaves the game.
I myself became one of those who bought it, and since i bought it this game really did become more fun and less annoying. When i first bought it and didn't have all the benefits it was annoying as fuck, tiny pouch made it a lot harder to gather cash and even take enough meds to heal (One Grizzly works but it makes your pouch unusable).
But the worst of the worst EOD benefits is fucking stash space. I have no idea why couldn't they give it to everyone but the tiny stash you get for standard edition made me want to quit. I legit spent more time playing tetris and trying to maximize the space in my stash. Its just so bad that you are forced to use gear you dont want to use or sell it becouse of every square being precious
Edit: Also the fact that to upgrade the stash to full with standard you need 200 000 FUCKING EURO! That's absolute fucking sick, its like 50 000 000 roubles. And if you see how much of a diffrence it makes compared to lvl 3 stash you get after buing the third edition is bad, this game really has 4 editions but only standard and eod are worth the price, the 2 in the middle are absolute trash not worth the money.
Hackers will still be an issue, and I still think the gear creep is a bigger issue than people let off. You unlock Class 5 with Prapor 3, but have access to full class 6 (the best full class 6) with Mechanic 3. Plus by that point, your hideout generates more money per day, than the cost of that armor. So while that armor is costly, I feel like gear creep will still lead to unfair fights. Class 4 these days to me feel like the minimum, so many scavs now rock rifles, often even 54R. So it feels like class 3 gets snuffed out by AI alone let alone players.
Also side note! For those looking to get away from Hackers, SPT exists still.
Very nice to see that they are reworking Tarkov. Watched Fugglet, a total boss in Tarkov, and Aculite play Tarkov Arena last night and Fugglet kept nailing everyone. Aculite kept dying, but after a few rounds he exclaimed that he had realized ONLY headshots counted, and he started getting way more kills. No idea why the devs even bothered with that garbage spinoff. They'll probably abandon it like they did with Hired Ops.
Early wipe is fun times. There is always someone below you in the food chain and you can get into many fights and win. Also with the new recoil the fights are much less RNG.
I do expect late wipe to be pretty much the same though. Most of the timmies quit and you are left with serious gamers who rule the maps.
But early wipe is still fun.
That's true, but I've not felt so refreshed at the start of the wipe ever, even my first wipe felt so much more unfun compared to this one, and I was on the verge of skipping this wipe. Hopefully with all the additions and balances there's more longevity throughout the wipe.
I'd love to play Tarkov, but I'm not apart of the PC Master Race, and unfortunately I don't have the funds to even join if I wanted to.
I'll continue to live vicariously through those I watch play, and I'll continue to play Vigor, DayZ, and Hunt.
Not only is it better for casual gamers, it's also realistic now. People who defends the old tarkov recoil never shot a gun in their life.
Personally the previous recoil wasn't a deal breaker for me simply because i could overlook it when judging it as a whole. No other game has made me actually physically sweat in tense situations like tarkov has, as much pain as it can be, the moment after finishing a tough fight and limping to extract feels so much more satisfying than the Mediocre COD SBMM "Run Shoot Die Repeat" grind game loop.
I wouldnt have played it for 650 hours otherwise.
The game def has some problems atm, with the new hitbox system getting hit in the armpit seems a lot more common than it should be, and Fighting Endgame chads abusing Desync+Peekers advantage / running into the occasional cheater.
However the other parts of it seem pretty good and i am hopeful for the future.
2:50 False information: the cap is LVL 20 and it doesn't matter what level you are, you can be a level 2 and run into someone on Shoreline thats a lvl 47..
The map itself is Level Capped to 20 while anyone can still scav in.
even on ground zero you can be a couple thousand hour player and scav in yet you will still run into low levels that don't even know they can't do quests on a scav run..
Its ONLY the map. NOT levels/ Skills.
Yes i've been enjoying Tarkov as a casual player for about 7 years now
a big thing with this game is PAIN. You WILL die and you WILL get fucked over. The game is way more enjoyable when you realize loss is part of the fun/design.
The recoil actually feels like an adult is actually holding the gun now.
They need to fix the sprint times for arena because these dudes are supposedly special forces and 200 matches in I have lvl 1 endurance lvl 1 strength in a rys-t.
Gassed out 80% of the way to the enemy spawn... My PMC is literally getting shot at and can't take another step.
I was in basic training with a 249, m4, full kit, ammo, extra boots, running at the front of formation uphill for 12 miles as a kid and I wasn't even getting shot at. At least make my video game character somewhat cool.
My biggest current Gripe is that you have to learn the maps. or get a secondary screen with a map to see where the exfil is. Like I get its a hardcore shooter, and im all for that.
But the amount of time I join games and my biggest anxiety is knowing wherew to exit at is my biggest annoyance. I bet the comment will get a lot of disagreements, but i just dont see how a simple waypoint marker would do any harm.
In fact I would learn the map better that way and would barely use it after. for anyone who has played Ghosts of Tabor, which is literally a tarkov clone, but in VR, would know how good this feature is.
3:18 wait, I don’t understand…what’s a ”break from Tarkov?” Is that a new patch or DLC? Surely he doesn’t mean…🙃🙃🙃
My pmc can now shoot like hes a pmc
Recoils and attachments metas and ammo metas really made me dislike playing tarkov. Iv played for many wipes I can’t even remember how many. But if these changes really have changed the feel of the game I might have to get back on
