Imagine STALKER’s AI that can roam around in small parties or take up positions in regular areas. Then there is a smaller chance of encountering those other couple players and you can experience the world of Tarkov rather than just the combat of Tarkov. I think thats what BSG might imagine being the endgame.

[@lp9280]

BSG has tendency of taking down EFT SP videos, so I would not surprised if this video going to get removed soon. I have played EFT SP extensively and almost as much as I have played EFT, so I have 5000 hours in game and another ~4000 in SP. And here is the thing - I enjoy SP more. There are no wipes, there are no desyncs, you don't need to worry about cheats, don't need to worry about being ambushed 5:1 when solo and if you are really in the tarkov more for the story, than for pvp, then EFT SP is actually better. That is before we even consider a lot of quality of life improvements, bugs that exists in the game fixed, new story line, map to map travel etc. Honestly like 50% of of the bugs in EFT are fixed in SP and as well, 50% of content that is planned in real game is already implemented in SP. On top of that you can actually pick an choose mods you want so you can tailor the experience the way you like. Simply said - I hate PVP, I never wanted PVP, all I wanted is survival game where I can play "smart" and don't need to worry about chad train running me over before I can get to quest location. THE ONLY issue in EFT SP is that there is no CO-OP and devs staid there will never be (I believe this is to please BSG not to issue cease and desist on them). If there would be CO-OP, I would never comeback to Tarkov. Because in SP, when you shoot you hit, you will never die behind the wall, you will never die to cheater, maps loads so much quicker and performance is so much better, but just the feeling of 0ms delay is something else, when you come back to the real game the delay is very noticeable. So if you tired of EFT non-sense, but still want to play the game SP is definitely highly recommended. P.S. - yes flea was fully working in 12.12 SP with both sell and buy, and it get's the prices from Tarkov Market API, so they are the real prices of real game. Not sure how exactly selling works. Maybe when in real game the item price goes above the price you listed for it get's auto sold in SP, but flea works quite well.

I've been playing SPT since January 2021 when it was still in it's infancy and I'm amazed at how far it has come looking back on it, the community is ever-growing and the brilliant work being done by the mod creators is fantastic! I recently became a "Helper" for newer players to SPT, basically helping people setup their game and/or any issues they may come across, the influx of newer players is insane but with this comes A LOT of toxicity and/or confusion. People are disgruntled understandably at Live Tarkov but then they have the nerve to come to SPT and spread this negativity, it's disgusting behaviour. The biggest worry I have about the project is the fact that it will gain more traction for popularity, the negativity that comes with it becomes so overbearing and then BSG smashes the hammer down on it all, basically flatlining it. I do have a seeking suspicion something like this will happen because I have seen people post on Reddit directly asking BSG and Nikita about SPT and whether or not they can monetise it! Like wtf. If BSG do smash the hammer down on SPT because people are constantly putting it in the firepit I'm completely done with Tarkov. It's sad to see what this game has turned in too and SPT has been a stepping stone to distance myself away from Live Tarkov, sadly this stone is sinking I feel.

This is what I've always wanted from Tarkov. I started playing back when fort armor and kiver helmets were the meta. The more competitive the game has gotten, the less fun I have had. Haven't launched the game since the patch that made dropping your backpack to fight part of the meta. For the last patch or two that I actually played, I rarely played my PMC, mainly just did scav runs to avoid the whole spawn zone rush that every raid starts with. I love the game and it has massive potential, but the way the playerbase has evolved has just killed my fun. I'm totally fine with that, and I've moved onto other games. I recognize that competitive FPS games are not enjoyable for me, but I've always held out hope that one day the devs would give us single player progression and I could hop back in and enjoy the game the way I want to enjoy it.

Old video, but to clarify the situation about SPT and cheat development. Before SPT there was a single player project that WAS used to develop cheats. One of the developers did not like this and decided to make their own single player experience. And thus SPT was created. SPT works in ways that are very different from the online experience and thus cannot be used in a good way create cheats. So SPT has never been used to make cheats, but older projects in the same style has been.

The best part of the SPT-AKI project is that you can fine tune the game to your liking. I always extend the raid timers and spawns to 2hrs so you are not rushing around worried about an extract closing and unfuck the metabolism system so i dont have to eat and drink 10x what a person would in an entire day in a 40 minute raid. Seriously wish there was a way to P2P host a spoofed online server to be able to play coop with friends though. When BSG introduced the offline coop option we looked into it and ended up setting in a queue for like 20 minutes to finally get in and have the match only have 15 minutes left and it spawned us all the way on the north edge of Woods with all of our extracts on the southern edge and being only level 1 fresh characters we pretty much had to head straight for the extracts. Unless BSG implements p2p offline coop hosting and adds in some more options to adjust settings for the match it just seems kinda pointless. You shouldnt have to wait around to play coop with a few friends just because they have a handful of servers hosting that mode and they still run like shit...

got about 3.5k ish hours on "normal" tarkov, its fun and great with pvp but sometimes i wanna play spt-aki just so i can "relax" lol. i like to watch yt while playing games or a movie. so ill boot up spt-aki and watch a movie while doing some chill raids. hopnestly bsg should team up with these guys and make a full on spt-aki or pve version of tarkov. i bet a lot of people just wanna fight AI and shit with their friends.

[@nickpertsew5678]

Since I stared playing single player tarkov, it's been so much better. It shifts the focus from running metas and specific routes to a more open and exploration feeling. You can test more guns and ammo, explore more the maps, and so on.

[@ZeeroDubs]

This sounds super appealing to me.

[@LocalDeepstateAgent]

Gonna play this until they fix. -The flea market. -Traders and their scarce inventory/scam prices. -Cheaters. -Hitreg. -Player displacement. -Shit questing (go to the places with all the USEC rogues as a bear or find item xyz but it HAS to be FIR. -Ai that is either on its last 2 braincells or ignores, bushes, trees etc. to H/E you through the amazon rainforest. -Recoil which is debatable but imo. way higher then it should be for a milsim shooter. Seriously, like an AK chambered in 5.45 or other such guns have no recoil. I liked old tarkov because it was difficult but not artificially, all the changes over the years have honestly just boosted RMT and carry services whilst making it impossible to progress whilst having a social life, job and animals to take care off. Dont believe any of the additions stom RMTs from conducting business. They already have 200 bypasses to take stuff into raids and drop it. These changes only make it harder to progress as a group by dropping i.e quest relevant items or a higher lvl friend buying you a specific part for your quest. I dont mind investing some time but if any progress is made artificially harder and players with cheats or not-so-thought-through game mechanics make it borderline impossible to finish a task, you should rethink all your choices as a dev.

[@Acepilot235]

They're missing out big time by not wanting to implement a strictly SP/PVE gamemode. I started playing SPT and I'm actually enjoying the game now, no more dealing with players that seem to have the eyes of a hawk and a reaction time of a rattlesnake on crack. Also no more extraction/mission objective campers.

[@secfeed6987]

I quit Tarkov over a year ago now. If it wasn't for SPT I wouldn't be playing it at all. This is currently my Stalker fix until Stalker 2 comes out.

Been playing since early 2017. Not sure where you got your information, but I firmly remember running around full sprint with zabrolo armor, a kiver and face mask, with an m4 spamming heals and instant reloading mags while I wiped woods lobbies. The game has certainly progressed into a more hard-core survival game and moved away from its call of duty style from before. No knock to the tarkov single player mode, if anything I think BSG should try and work these modders cause they are making really good progress on major issues within tarkov

Your comments about how the game isn't what it used to be and now it's a sweat competitive game hits so close to home for me. So many of the big content creators for tarkov (pestily, lvndmark etc.) have made the game into something that isn't like what I purchased it for.

[@OfficialInvictus]

[@Peddze]

It's a real shame. I was actually planning on getting Escape from Tarkov not long ago but after doing a little search on it I found out about all the cheaters and it completely put me off. I really hope they turn this around and fix all the issues that players are having.

[@ScarabicEnterprises]

EVERY game like this needs a singleplayer mode with progression enabled (Don't let the progress carry over to Multiplayer, keeping them separate for balance). Multiplayer-only games are dying due to oversaturation, having singleplayer can give new life and can let the game live on for decades. Why the heck aren't these devs thinking about the longevity of their game? Fighting cheating is a tug-o-war and people have already lost so much respect for the team, going after their fanbase for wanting a feature that should be stock standard is so scummy (not to mention several KZbinr's livelihoods for covering it). The only reason i won;t buy this game is because of the devs... and I WANT to play it sooooooo bad, but in singleplayer.

[@MrKingglenn]

It makes sense to have a single player side of the game for when the game is done being developed and they want to move on. If they shut down the servers then nobody will be able to play the game ever again, but a single player version could last indefinitely. There are countless MMO's that have died because the player base gets too thin to support the servers. Bad for the players that spent money to buy a game they can never play again. Almost any game like you said, should have a single player option and the devs should allow modding. Many games allow it and encourage it as it enhances and improves the buyability of their game. Although I believe that might become something more viable once the game actual gets finished and is no longer in progress. We still have 2 maps yet to be created, and Streets is only 1/3 in place plus the concept of how Nikita wants the game made is still yet to be combined.

[@berry2334]

ive quit online tarkov ages ago. in offline tarkov the experience is so much better and customizable.

[@JackalArtsmith]

Brave man covering SPTarkov given that Nikita is such an egomaniacal child he strikes down anyone covering said mod

[@RandomFandomOfficial]

Those strikes are illegal BTW. But this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the illegal things the developers do. I would not recommend buying their game, just go sailing the high seas and avoid the online PvP (play offline). You’ll have a better experience and you wont lose much money then.

[@mikem.s.1183]

I know a lot of players who invested a LOT in EFT... and the most serious issues and the resurgence of the cheaters they quit. They now play single player EFT. I for one was advised to stay away from the multiplayer... multiple times. I am a bit of a grinder and achieving things, levels, proficiency only to have it taken away not by other grimders but by cheaters and newbies being coached and carried on by hardcore players...Nah.

[@FragGoesBoom]

Yeah I quit cause of hackers, it's annoying you get a get gun then skudoosh, it's all gone

[@eljefe9106]

maybe i wanna play single player tarkov because i dont wanna get killed by some sweaty ass tactical ex marine

[@loom101]

This is exactly what ive been looking for thank you. For someone who plays milsim shooters, this is perfect. I already have Dayz for PVP, I would like to learn the maps, and practice my room clearing without being tracked from across the map. I've experienced this in other games so I know its a thing. Also some cheaters can run desync scrips, or their tools are so poorly written they lag the server. I know because I call them out in other games, and the lag stops. Or if I play at 3 am on a Wednesday I get no lag for 5-6 hours, till the kids get up anyway. Probably the "50% of your player base" running garbage scrips on the server is affecting performance. (Pro tip the script kids really don't like) If you are lagging out or getting desync, be ready for an ambush. you would be surprised how well this works.

[@CarlValiquette]

i add that in tarkov back in the day i knew it was a player near or whatevr but nerver anybody confirm it but in 2022 there was a lot of cheater and i didnt feel that laag when near player and by this time i had a new pc too

Plus there are mods that make Al more of a challenge, like all scavs have Killa "brain", or multiple bosses on the same map, longer raids, etc, amount of tweeks you can do around is amazing. Im looking forward to Road to Vostok, that game is supposed to be like Tarkov but sp, from what ive seen looks great. Edit : did i mention you wont be looking in the loading screen for 30min every raid ?

[@CarlValiquette]

love ur edit XD

[@worldbuilder9971]

You are a legend for making this video. As of writing the normal game is in a lot better state compared to when this was made thankfully. However that being said, I played EFT for nearly 300hrs with EOD version, not a lot compared to most of the fanbase, but I still have little map knowledge and pvp experience as well as quest experience. I am happy to say this wipe I got the deepest I ever got and even got my first PMC kills in this wipe (sad I know but I use to be a huge wimp. now i dont care about my shit as much as I use to) but SP EFT will be a god send to practice maps, quests, pvp, mechanics, ETC. Offline mode in the normal game is a weak excuse of a way to get good or practice. A isolated environment like this is ideal. Thank you again for this information.

[@heypistolero]

SPT is great, but if they could mod it to Co-op Tarkov(no pvp), it would be the end of EFT for a long time for me

Someone, from somewhere else, is working on that. I can't give details. It will be like an addon to SPT.

My ideal Tarkov would have three mods. Arena for some quick shooting action, regular Tarkov for raids and third, long term open world experience where all maps are connected, traders located within those zones, you create your hideout in one or more bunkers... Like Stalker. And I would love this mode to be possible in coop.

I play spt and tarkov. You need both if you truly want to get your moneys worth. Also spt is a great way to learn basic mechanics and systems. The mods are awesome too you can truly customise spt to make the single player tarkov game of your dreams too.

[@Krewtonn]

spt is fun but for me it got boring very quickly due to lack of pvp and difficulty. I think its mainly because ive played tarkov for so long but for me to see any longevity in the fun of spt there would need to be more maps like lighthouse and reserve that allow for more intense/aggressive ai interaction. I think the concept is great for those who dont care for the pvp or are learning the game, but for those that actually enjoy the game and are just tired of cheaters and bugs its only gonna make them crave the real thing and create poor playstyle habits, until they inevitably quit or go back online.

[@sublimekid247]

thats why you get AI mods and the AI can be smarter and more deadly then any player but fair. you can remove the aimbot head/eyes.

[@Krewtonn]

Im sure the mods could make it more enjoyable but I doubt that would do much for increasing the playability long term because youll eventually hit the point where the ai no longer suffices and your best option is playing the actual game, that you have to purchase regardless to play spt. Sure you can mod the game to cater to your playstyle preferences/increase difficulty alongside tasking but the tasks are especially easy without the threat of REAL players.
