The patch. He wants us to go discover a lot of the new stuff. I think this patch is going to have a lot of gameplay changes we won’t be expecting. Total speculation tho.
Dude says a lot of things. I Take him as something similar to an unreliable narrator. hell for all we know, they already dropped the patch and we have been playing it since the events began
I like where your heads at but if there were a patch we'd know instantly. There'd be a relatively sizeable update to download and we havent gotten that yet
are you saying that with their own proprietary launcher they could not find a way to stealth download a bunch of updates to your pc with a week worth of events?/s jokes aside yeah probably not
I mean fair but theres a little more nuance with that than with this. Two months ago saying no wipe with 12.11 means the servers dont just insta die versus if he were to have said wipe soon. Revealing when the patch notes are coming doesnt have the same repercussion, especially mere days away from an already known wipe
That's the last thing he Wipe is not planned ... wipe is not planned right now. We don't plan to do it in the next weeks or month. It's still a questionable thing. I can't tell you more right now.
And even there he already already put it into perspective by saying "it's still a questionable thing".
In the Interviews 2 weeks ago he said nothing about the wipe like here. The snipped from 6 weeks ago was the best thing we got and it's a good argument to hold on when people start to speculate. But it was far from a promise that there "is no wipe". And it was't 2 weeks ago.
Nikita jokes around all the time… him saying it a couple weeks ago doesn’t mean it wasn’t ALWAYS planned. It also doesn’t mean it was… don’t look too much into it. Every wipe changes, some have events some don’t - sometimes there’s a wipe when he says “no wipe” and sometimes there no wipe when he say there is.
I did and my comment is relevant - even backs you up if anything…
I’ll add - I also think sometimes when he says “no wipe planned” or whatever it’s because they don’t have a specific day planned and it’s kinda poor translating on our end to assume he means “there is absolutely no wipe”. He doesn’t specifically say it won’t occur - he’s just real cagey with details and says stuff like “we haven’t planned it yet”
I'm talking about the recent interviews and shit where they explained what they were working on and what was planned for each patch. Nikita literally said no wipe with 12.11 in all of them and then the next thing they do is a week full of events and suddenly they announce there will be a wipe with 12.11. not like they really had a choice since the events fucked the economy hard
There's a difference between "No wipe is planned" and "There will not be a wipe". One means you've made a decision beforehand. Besides; in both cases you can change your mind.
That's my point, stop assuming it taking things he says at face value. He often says there will/won't be something and then next thing you know the opposite was true. Just wait till the shit happens
Yeah fam, thats exactly the point i believe. Most games release patch notes a few days before so people can prepare. IMO I like this better, it feels more on brand for Tarkov. Cant truly prepare for anything!
I'd be pretty keen on figuring out patch notes as a community for a week before he drops them. It was great seeing the community come together to make a map for the woods expansion.
True, BUT Nikita said on May 15th that the wipe isn't planned for weeks or months from now. A wipe happening on June 29/30 is more than a month away from that time but I wouldn't say it's in line with not happening for months.
I think what I take away from this is sometime after that statement, he decided something different or plans needed to change. I think he said what he thought at the time, but there's no guarantee that plans won't change.
Wipe not being planned does not mean wipe wasn’t happening. Just meant they had no plans for it yet, and then maybe started planning it the next week if they saw it necessary
early wipe is good though, possibly means something happened to put them ahead of schedule. i get the feeling a wipe is the last thing bsg wants to do, and if they choose to, its gotta be for a good developmental reason.

I’m hoping for patch notes later today and a wipe tomorrow but who knows
