I might have escaped from Tarkov

[@gpxzy]

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.

[@hackerwolf1995.]

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

Waaaah, bsg bad. You missed out on the bsg rage bait videos by a few months.

[@MortVaderDK]

I escaped about a year ago. Not looking back. "BSG baD" as some nerd said somewhere. I don't care about that bullshit game any longer :D

[@skudstreams]

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.

[@fridjon]

I agree with everything said in this video, I've been playing tarkov since 2017- 6000hours. The WORST aspect of tarkov isn't the cheaters(because PVE tarkov has no cheaters), its STREETS. This map so heavy on a pc its ridiculous. All the questing needing to be done in streets is depressing, you need a 5000USD pc to get acceptable framerates. I'm an old school level designer and i understand optimizing.

they wont, they will continue to "develop" arena instead and then wonder when the new arena update only brings in 1000 viewers on twitch and fizzles out after 2 hours

[@Mightydoggo]

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.

[@scromker]

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

As someone who hasn't played tarkov really before (I bought it, got shit on & didn't want to learn systems), getting into PvE with friends who actually know a bit more about the game and playing with them has been a lot of fun.

[@Dominique9325]

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.

[@Laying_Bricks]

[@darkally1235]

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.

I quit a year or so ago but during 2020 and the whole pandemic this was one of my go-to "play everyday on discord with my pals" games, sometimes we would play for 5-7 hours a day during the early pandemic when we were still in college and LITERALLY had nothing else to do, just game mostly tarkov all day. I had a pretty meh PC as well that barely ran some maps on 30 frames but I still loved it, despite its issues. Easily some of the most fun, engaging, rewarding and tense gaming experiences I've ever had right up there with the FromSoftware games, which says a lot. After Halo/COD/BF/Siege all lost their luster this was the last FPS I was really "into", like watched streams, knew the whole meta, kept up to date with news, etc. and it really sucks the devs could never get their shit together. This really could have been so much better than it currently is, id love to see a better developer do this kinda shooter genre some due justice. As much as I adored Tarkov in 2020/2021, in 2024 I'm ready to say there's room for a better game in the same style to be made. Despite all that being said, maybe the best 120$ I have ever spent on a game... made some of favourite gaming memories accidently team-killing each other and failing to extract over and over with my friends..
