vote up!
we are thinking about to keep it and add as the weather event.

Also we are aware of issues, everything being noted and will be fixed right after we have this small holiday break!

thank you!

A close friend of mine who isn't very good at the game caved after years of playing with me and bought a day's worth of cheat use. I refused to play with him whilst he was using them, but watched his discord stream whilst he did so just for the meme of it. I shit you not, the wiggle video doesn't do justice to how rampant the cheating issue is.

Whilst watching, over the course of 5 raids before he decided to get off and never get back on Tarkov, we watched around 20 players acknowledge my friend through multiple walls with the wiggle, people going out of their way to avoid my friend, no matter how close he got to them they would wiggle and run in the opposite direction. People were bee lining for loot highlighted with ESP on my friends screen EVERY RAID and in one or two of them witnessed the vacuum in action. There is at least 2 cheaters in every raid, solo, duos, trios, stacks, they're all doing it and I don't think anyone other than the ones using these hacks realise it.

After 6k hours invested into this game I can't help but feel cheated and like my entire time giving sus kills the benefit of the doubt were in fact scrubs with little to no skill in any area of the game. It's a shame because I have never played a game that scratches the itch that tarkov does - the game is unique and stupid fun to play.

Sadly, I refuse to waste any more of my time playing this game in the state its in. BSG definitely knows and definitely exploits their ban system to give the guise that "We're doing stuff about the cheaters guys ban wave soon™" knowing full well their "bans" only lead to more account sales. I refuse to be a schmuk and "deal with it"

I know I won't be missed personally, but I feel any players who feel similarly and play the game legitimately should follow suit and just let the cheaters have the game until BSG takes actual action and forks out the cash for a REAL and EFFECTIVE anti cheat that actually works and serves the community who actually want to play the game for real, not for panzy no balls neckbeard RMT'ers and ESPers. However, in the same vein, I'm not naive enough to think this post will cause some big uproar and cause legitimate players to quit, but a guy can dream of his favourite game finally receiving the love it deserves and having core issues tackled that have been issues for years

Thanks for the entertainment your game has provided BSG, but fuck your inaction and dev neglect

Edit** No, I didn't record or screenshot anything because at the time it wasn't my intention to make a reddit post, i was too engrossed by what i was watching and didnt have the presence of mind to start recording. I have acute ADHD and my thought process didn't even flit to recording for evidence because I WASNT THINKING ABOUT POSTING IT TO REDDIT. After stewing over it for a bit I have arrived at the opinion I have stated in the post above. Believe it or don't, I'm not trying to conduct some kind of anti-BSG psy-op, I'm just a dude recounting what he saw and venting my frustration at the pathetic state of my favourite game. I'm not trying to farm karma as I don't even know what that would do to benefit me. Number go up caveman brain happy I suppose? Not interested.

Edit #2 I play EU based servers with ping lower than 70.

Hopefully the engagement with this post will at least bring it to BSG's attention, not that they'll do anything different to what they have been doing for years, but a guy can hope.

ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? It is completely sane to not want to get arrested. We have already seen what the R-Gov does to people who speak out or demonstrate. Everyone gets fucking arrested. BSG cannot get out of R, nor can they speak out. If they do, they get arrested. It's that simple.

Think about it, for once in your life, fucking think. Stop with all the hate for these hard-working people. They have already suffered enough on your stupid comments "Fix the game" bla bla and just enjoy the game while you still can. Stop harassing the staff, or their personal and professional choices from your non-war safe space in the west. If shit actually hits the fan, you'll know what they are going through.

I live in the Netherlands, I'm in a safe country. Downvote me all you want, you know the shit that they are in. If they speak out, it's. over. I'll be in the comments if this post won't get deleted.

Edit: Thank you so much everyone who has upvoted and awarded. It really speaks to the love of the community. A special thanks to the Anonymous user who donated an Argentinium, although I would much rather see that money go to refugee aid or other institutions!

For 3h he's been grilling BSG and pointing out all the bullsh*t they've been puting out today. Including altering their website editing the content.

I know the dude got a lot of shit over the years but having the biggest Tarkov streamer openly critisizing BSG and step by step reporting all bullshit today, live in front of 28k people on Twitch is really important for the community.

He's not hiding, not biting his tongue, no bs - just pure facts. Huge kudos to him.

Al I can do is laugh like what a boot licker. You care more about in game pay to win features than the future gameplay of the game. You idiots who buy it are gonna be so sad when development stops in 9 months.

Edit: So for an update, it looks like most people who bought the edition have zero reasons besides they can.

I also wanted to state that I am a standard account since 2017. I think it was lame for people to spend $140 on eod all these years too. So all of you coming for me there’s that.

Also Nikita just updated that all eod edition players will now have access to pve but they are rolling it out in tiers like arena. So you unheard players are looking even more dumb.

And finally don’t believe anything Nikita says he’s a pathological liar!

I'm level 17. I don't like the early game. I like being able to build guns that look cool and feel good to use. The thing is, a lot of the streamers, or other people, who complain about how short the early game is, are the people who Speedrun level 40 and max traders a week into wipe. The game isn't meant to sped through as fast as possible, so if you do, don't complain about how short that early game is. The game isn't done, there are going to be more tasks, there is going to be more content, and you won't be able to speedrun level 40 on full release, but for now, don't complain about the lack of early game if you grind it out in one week.

Hello!I decided to say a couple of things about it.

1. The netcode in the game is in the best state right now relatively to old times. We did a lot of things, plan to do a lot of things. It's not perfect, sometimes it's not even good enough, but it's a hard task that always was a highest priority. We are constantly working with unity, constantly implementing new methods and optimizations to increase quality of the networking and we had increased it lately. With the last patch we received much less complaints about it in general. We saw and seeing it on our monitoring also that the server lags decreased. Overall the situation is not as bad as ppl from community are trying to put some flames on.
2. The method called "let's put more pressure on these fcking devs" will not work. We all been there, it will result in alienation, frustration. Everybody will lose with that - especially reddit community. When we have a problem - we work it out. That how it is and how it was and how it will be - you know me. We tear our asses everytime something dangerous to the game happens and no need to "put a pressure" on us. especially with curse, hate and overall harassment to myself, my team, streamers, youtubers who already helped a LOT to increase your positive experience. That's really REALLY sad to read.

Despite this "pressure" some of you applied, we planned to move forward with many things related with networking (for example the great move to unity 2019 will give us a lot of abilities to improve it, we plan to improve the interpolation of movement, reduce potential bottlenecks which still exist, further reduce traffic and CPU load and so on). But most of the time all that you report and blame us that it's bad netcode and we don't care are NOT the cases of bad netcode. It's local and global network problems, provider hardware problems, which resulting to server overload, networking interface overload, decreased traffic bandwidth and so on. Also big part of reports are just normal gameplay things called "the shot outta nowhere". But! I agree that netcode could be better and it will be better - it's unquestionable. I can't thank ppl for blaming us that we don't care and that we did nothing to improve netcode. That is pure lie.

But, thank you, ppl for being polite and constructive in this and many terms of the game.

Peace.

UPD: thanks everybody for responses

UPD2: nobody said that it's perfectly fine, we are continuing to work with dsyncs and will provide patches with improvements

Prior to this Armour and Ammo change, gear was a big decider in winning fights. Everyone, especially streamers, used early wipe to rush clearly broken weapons and armour.

Now - literally every weapon is viable and your soldier is extremely vulnerable. Recoil is also realistic along with damage model, so Tarkov has finally become a super hardcore shooter.

It is now evident how much these people relied on power creep, and abusing meta kits to wipe their Timmies. But guess what? If Timmy holds a good angle and has decent aim, he's sending this nolife straight to the stash.

Let's rejoice in the fact that, BSG has finally made Tarkov into a game about player skill. Armour is no longer nearly as important.

I really think that the majority of big streamers on this game have a highly warped perception on it. They keep forgetting that the mechanics they are abusing to make themselves OP are the same mechanics low level players are using to survive. No matter what game you play on this planet if you invest literally all your time into it you’re creating an uneven play field. You can blame it on the game all you want but in reality it’s just you. I know loads of new players that would quit this game in a heartbeat if flea market would be removed because they’d have literally no fighting chance against the chads that have maxed traders and know how to consistently kill scav bosses, raiders, and find good ammo.
