I feel the hideout changes are unnecessary. The hidout was always meant as first a money sink and second as a method of quest and item progression separate from raiding. These hideout changes remove that in that first, the items that used to be the backbone of the economy (hoses, motors, tool sets) will now be worthless as we get to mid/late wipe. Either people will quit or be hard locked by items such as miliary power filters and not touch the hideout passed that point. Second and arguably, more importantly, it means that a bunch of quality of life crafts that were added in previous wipes are no longer available when you need them. It just makes the hideout superfluous.

[@balinthehater8205]

Tbf, they did touch up the loot table, been finding a bunch of mil power filters and tank batteries on woods.

[@hypotheticalsinglewoody]

0:45 to be clear they only reverted flea, but not the accounts of people who bought items. If you got access you kept the items

[@poekaz]

I think the hideout FIR change would be fine if when you died, the things in your secure container that you found in the raid…kept your found in raid status. This would be great for quest items too. So you could keep playing without fear of losing your quest item or hideout item.

the most major impact of requiring found in raid for hideout will be towards the general use of flea market, as now most barter items will not cost so much due to demand, but if they are used for vendor trades i.e. sicc container they might skyrocket since people stop casually picking up these items in their raids....

[@RAPTORREX_]

honestly if the whole "hideout upgrades cant be not found in raid or bought off the market" is 10x worse because eventually your hideout upgrades will be HOURS if not DAYS long. on top of talking more time to find and get out of raid with the upgrades is gonna feel awful.

[@Imhotephp]

why? So what if it takes longer to upgrade your hideout, it's not like the game itself is fast paced in general. Everything in there takes long time, so with the hideout not being fully upgraded within like 2 weeks after the wipe it's just going to delay the late game, which is a somewhat healthy approach. Even though it would be more convenient to buy certain items like a sledgehammer on the flee for convenience, but with FIN for the hideout makes EFT more like a scavenger-looter game than just "make moneyz to buy stuff to upgrade fast". It's more immersive, which is something many players have forgotten about.

I was pretty excited when they announced prestige. I knew deep down it would require kappa but I wanted to remain hopeful that it wouldn’t, oh well. Sucks they use kappa as the baseline for their “endgame” when it’s literally an absolute nightmare to achieve. I’m all for the prestige requirements except for the kappa part, a very large part of the players will never prestige 1 time let alone 10.

Unemployed players will

[@voidgivenfocus]

dont know how people do it, I've tried to hard focus kappa several wipes already where I'll look up guides and have maps/wikis open every time I go into a raid and focus solely on doing kappa quests only to get insane burnout after completing all the snoreline quests and getting to the last few difficult/tedious quests like sbih (I dont like camping long sightlines) or the one where u need 3 pmc bolt action kills in a single woods raid or capturing outposts etc, not that I don't mind pvp quests as I love stirrup in factory and the 12 gauge ushanka paca task but I hate camping locations waiting for other players to show up so I always end up burning out right at the finish line

@@voidgivenfocus ive done it once but I dont plan on doing it again. Its basically gotta be ur only game/goal for the entire wipe. Assuming you even have enough time to play to get it all done before the game wipes, assuming they dont have wipes after full release then it will help and might not feel like such a race but it will still take a very long time.

Now its quests, leveling AND looting, which ends up being pointless if im killed.

I gotta admit after 1.8k hours this might be the wipe I stop. I am happy for everyone else that is enjoying it and I don't want to discourage them from having fun but this is getting ridiculous. I've been playing for 2 and a half wipes, I've been close to leaving many times. I know this game isn't meant to be fun, it's meant to be challenging and have the lowest of lows and highest of highs but not when you die to the stupidest shit that you have no control over (e.g. bad audio, bugs, hitreg straight up not working, cheaters). At this rate I might aswell leave, since I've enjoyed this game enough before this update I feel that I got my money's worth and it doesn't feel like BSG are planning on changing any of their strategies to actually improve the game. Below is a list of issues I've ran into this wipe (so far): The performance on maps dropped significantly, customs dropped the worst, I can barely run it on 50fps while before the update i was running it at 90+. Broke a leg and instantly got the double damage bug, died very quickly in a fight while trying to run away since my health dissapeared immediately. Died on woods and progress rolled back to before the raid. Streets flat out refuses to load me into a raid, gets to awaiting session start and then crashes the game. Server matchmaking is fucked but thats the least of the problems, and to be expected on wipe. Game constantly crashes while trying to matchmake, sometimes both for me and my duo at once. Audio is fucking terrible, I was excited to hear the new reverb but its a joke, outside it feels like walking around with a metal box around your PMC that reverbs any sound you make.

Question: If you're playing Khorovod on PvP mode does it actually spawn other Player PMCs not attempting Khorovod onto the map? I keep seeing conflicting comments from people, some saying yes you have to fight other actual players in Khorovod PvP mode and others saying no, it's all AI PMCs.

Leveling up and getting big time gear is great. However, some of the best times I’ve had in tarkov is early wipe. Skill shines thru far more early wipe than late wipe. There’s something about 2 naked mosin men that’s far more interesting than lvl6 armor and meta ammo

[@dorian3516]

i tried accessing the BTR questline in PVE as level 60, did not show up for me

[@RuruRampage]

Que times have been amazing this early wipe. Rarely does it take longer than 3-4 mins.

[@YoniDownbad]

This made this game harder for people who work alot. Looks like I’m hopping on other games this wipe

[@scgamerd]

For someone who doesn’t have time to play this game 8 hours a day, Lots of unnecessary and time consuming updates like “found in raid” requirement for hide out upgrades, makes me glad I’m in PVE mode

[@TheDarthwario]

As a filthy casual, FIR for hideout is a dealbreaker for me. If that’s the way things are going then I’m done.

[@eloverlord96]

Should You Come Back to Tarkov For Patch .16? The answer is simple, no, the game is still broken till its core.

[@TheSnappy]

That noise in the pestily clip is bullets that hit him. It only happens when he takes a hit. You can watch the character health in the top left.

[@MrTacticalTony]

I reckon that the fir hideout stuff is obly temp to slow progress

[@Purrre]

I just came back from a 2+ year break. Now I have been listening to the podcast so I have gotten some of the news but going in and playing it is so wierd now. Ground Zero quests took me and my friend probably 50 tries. Woods scavs are crazy and ofc I died to a new bot sniper when walking to outskirts with bags filled of 3 killed PMCs 😂 I feel like im new to the game again

[@Pepster_p]

I’m getting rubber banding and packet loss often throughout my raids now. Died because of it 2 times now

[@987koolkid]

Went in as a duo on woods and multiple raids my duo was seeing scavs I could not see or hear. They can also shoot at you and kill you and you can never hear or see them. Ask me how I know

[@Krimson51]

The thing keeping me away from Tarkov in recent years has been the instability and inconsistencies, especially those surrounding Audio and general Performance. In my opinion you cannot have a good time playing a hardcore survival shooter with Broken / Inconsistent Audio and FPS / Latency / Desync issues, like at all. The issues with the economy, gear balance, progression speeds, etc. can all be forgiven in my opinion, those are sliders and are somewhat subjective to everybody's individual preferences. What I cannot excuse however are the terrible bugs and glitches that directly affect how we interact with the game, and I don't see that getting any better after so many years of it being aweful. I've held out hope for this game for so so long, but I don't even dare update the game anymore when it's full of garbage bugs and issues that have been there for years. Even without adding cheaters and inconsistent AI into the list, the game is simply too frustrating to interact with, let alone play for the hundreds of hours the devs want us to put into each wipe to see a semblance of progression. It's just sad.

[@user-qo8js3qk5z]

Very well said. Tarkov isn't hardcore because of the mechanics. It's hardcore because so much of it is broken that you have to be an expert on navigating the brokenness to exploit other players.

[@Lilacpetals666]

Bought edge of darkness edition in 2022 , to this day I have about four total raids to my name LOL

[@realAndysan]

10 years of development got us here.

[@PilotHail.]

Started last wipe first ever, this wipe already feels better idk if it’s just the snow or my ass not taking 50 raids to do the go tasks

[@PilotHail.]

Ground zero not go

[@NESClO]

Been waiting to come back for the last 2 years

[@greatesttyrant4853]

PvE has some bugs but its fine. Did the new event in a group of 5 twice. No new recoil noticed here either. Audio bugs are 1/10 raids, but usually not a big deal. They fixed lightkeeper's quest line, so I can play end game now 😊. Im happy with the customs additions! QoL stuff is great! The priority window is crazy awesome.

[@quinphan]

not super on board with the whole FIR for hideout. What I would suggest is keep it as how it was before, but people are not allowed to put in on the flea

[@Polar_Magnet]

my biggest problem this wipe is that you have to get the khorovod achievement to get the new clothes...

[@Jake-bt3fc]

I keep getting a glitch where my pmc just randomly dies for no reason. It just happened twice in a row so now I don't want to play if my pmc is just going to die for no reason every raid.

[@iheelhookday1whitebelts22]

I just started to play a lil bit at the end of last wipe and now I don’t even want to play again I’m honestly so glad I escaped tarkov

[@hoomannlicher]

honestly haven't had any big issues with bugs, had one audio reverb bug and my scav froze and couldnt move once, and thats it. audio is nice, the late flea is nice, the hideout fir requirement is kinda just bad.

[@swft89]

I didn't see customs not loading in that list of things they are working on :(

[@BlueDigiHeart]

Ill wait for the next wipe

[@yusufabulouz7525]

I feel that the not found on raid issue is more of an incentive to play scav rather than run PMC back to back. Also, ground zero is full of that early drop for the hideout. I personally only play tarkov to get my hideout up as much as i can, and when the chads are everywhere and i can't survive after a while, i just drop tarkov. I wish it was more like a month of no flee market for me. This is the best decision for delaying the flee market. Or just get rid of the flee market 😂😂

[@Atlas.-7141]

i love how they arbitrarily chage the way some items look in ur inventory every update instead of actually fixing the game

[@seanguccione1493]

You need kappa to prestige?! Idk man, figured I’d be able to grind out a prestige but grind out kappa is a whole other story

[@GoYeetus1143]

I did it once, it was awful.

[@HempGamerOG]

will the prestige reset your gear as well as your level ?

[@Blackandyellowfishing]

After 3 wipes and almost 2k hours this wipe I was done after 4 games I Killed around 10 pmcs, and I died 2/4 raids. First time I was dragging an odolbos to my secure container I acccidentally double clicked and my pmc died from the new updated 25% chance to die when you take one. Who’s idea was that? All the bs I already have to go thru to survive a raid and bsg just actively makes more ways for me to die every single wipe. The raid after that killed 2 players and got the bug where ur pmc is stuck in 1 spot and any time u try and move ur game lags like crazy and u CAN NOT leave that spot even after disconnecting and reloading into the raid. I sat there prone for 10 minutes hoping it would let me move as a scav army kept spawning I killed 5 scavs while stuck in that one spot. After realizing this was 100% a bug and not my connection I pulled out a nade and ended it. That was raid number 4 and probably my last raid of the wipe.

[@Blackandyellowfishing]

Also as always instead of refining or improving the audio system they try some new shit thats worse every time!!! The new audio sounds like someone is running beside you or close to you ( the sound of your own footsteps) and if you’re playing in a duo or trio especially the audio is even worse. My fps is also noticeably worse… how? 150 for this joke of a game

[@Inkstergaming7]

since the hideout change i dont loot just pvp, if anything they made more w key chads
