I was doing daily’s to warm up all wipe and yes the 1.5 mil a day really helps make the main game more enjoyable. Seeing I can lose a few high gear score kits and it not really be that big of a deal. I have found arena to be extremely unstable with input lag. Some games it’s on point, some it’s in the other teams favor. It from there servers, I’ll just hope they fix it soon.

I enjoy warming up on free for all. Getting my daily quests rerolled to last hero quests, then run a few games and get them all done. I like how the xp and money is not as good as if i was playing the main game. I could make more money in a 10 mins scav then you can make in one game and i think thats a good thing. Its the perfect balance between being rewarded for playing not not punished for not playing

@@taeyeoff it splits up their community. I know a lot of players which are already after 3-4weeks over lvl 50(marathon and arena exp boost) they will play another 2-3 weeks and than they get bored and play something else again . The PvP in the maingame is inconsistent and in Arena it’s repetitive. This drains the longterm motivation drastically imo

Doesn't make sense, that only applies to the top percentile of the population. There are far more dad players that quit 1 month in because they think they can't compete with chads because not only are sweats better at the game, they also have gear advantage.

I have given arena a chance this wipe, but it is so incredibly laggy and I don't understand why. I have been dying around corners a lot and people just teleport when peeking from behind cover. I've also been playing on low ping (30) and i get around 80 fps. Just feels terrible to play

Not sure, maybe depends on server? I'm west coast NA and pinging 80-100 and it feels fine. When I play with friends in asia (I'm like 170 ping in some clips) it feels like any other game with high ping.

I play pve mainly and now picked up arena, I suck at it. Like honestly feel bad for my team mates lol. My reflexes are those of an old man, sure I’m not 20 anymore but jeez. I die the moment I see ( or never even see) the opponent. It’s fun though. Just wish I had slightly more accuracy and reflexes than what I currently have, I’m so used in tarkov to play it slow, in arena that doesn’t work

In my personal opinion the Teamfight game mode is better to play bc Blast gang fights are first to 7 so they take longer but you get very similar XP amounts. If it’s a good enemy team you could go for 10+ rounds and get the same 7k Xp you’d get in 6 team fight rounds.
@taeyeoff3 ай бұрын
I like snd cause it has an objective so it makes player positioning more predictable. People in tf just sit in random corners and take up the entire round, blastgang rounds play out faster because you can just force bomb to make them push.

I've played the arena on the start, when basically no one except the select few knew about it, and they all were pretty good players who knew what they're doing in terms of tarkov pvp (at least in arena). But then every streamer started to tell about how arena is imba, and more clueless players started to pour in, making every team fight/bomb game with randoms insufferable

You're actually forgetting an important issue. Assume that you will never survive as a beginner. Your mindset should be set accordingly, otherwise you will quickly become extremely frustrated. You should care absolutely nothing that you die and lose, time after time after time. BUT if you keep going despite only losing, you will find that you get better and better. That certainly applies to Tarkov the main game as well.

I don't understand how people don't see arena as OBSURDLY pay to win like game ruining unless you have 100+ might as well not play tarkov type frustration sucks not being able to afford it and it sucks when everyone says its "not that good" and "you level up slower" like yeah im sure the slightly less xp makes you level slower as if leveling up was the only form of progression there's a million things and when playing Arena on wipe day is the best option instead of playing the actual game is wild to me
@taeyeoff3 ай бұрын
Arena on wipe day is the best option for progression only if you can consistently top frag every blastgang game and win, or place top 3 in last hero. Even then, arena is horribly inefficient after about levels 18 or so, pretty much when you start the snoreline gauntlet. For majority of the population, questing is still the way to go. Already working on a video talking about the misconception of arena being op for rubles or whatever streamers been complaining about recently
