Did anything from this episode surprise you? Maybe you're new and had no idea about - or maybe a veteran that forgot/didn't know was happening at the time?

[@Tryptixx]

I forgot how long the gun fights could last. You don't get into fights like that anymore, the TTK is so low now!

[@bumjandel]

Man the movement etc looks so much smoother back then it’s so bad now

[@OttoPussner]

Yeah at 15:40 the way the recoil looks is... Cleaner? Has the SA-58 been nerfed that hard? It's nearly unusable ADS, and the pointfire is still rough but the screen isn't nearly as jerky as it seems now. Edit: Yeah I watched for 40 more seconds; rip SA-58

[@EmptyMag]

I forgot Interchange was PMC only for a bit

[@potato1499]

Something small, but the game looks so much better to play when the screen doesn't nauseate me with shakes when firing full auto. Also Mosin licking

I love this series and it strikes me that one of the things that makes EFT so unique is the fact that it could actually warrant a series like this. Very few games actually have this kind of iteration.

[@Gambling4Life]

I miss the skier bug where you could vendor all your trash items in a packpack and get maximum value for the trade

[@thelitmango6333]

League is a different game compared to what it is now, so is Dota, siege as well is completely different from when it came out and has better net code. The only reason every patch changed tarkov is cause it takes over 6 months for them to usually release a patch so it needs to be big and change things. I'm not complaining but I can point you to a few slow developing games that are completely different to when they were released, you could also do a series like this on those games since they had quite a few patches that changed those games metas quite a bit. The only reason you can't do a series like this on every game is cause we are now in the era of competitive games that must constantly release new content or people will drop it. And if you don't do something that changes the meta and keeps the core gameplay there people will just drop it.

Something id love to see after this series is down is a recap of all the changes done to every map over the course of EFT's history. Just seeing small clips of old customs has me feeling ultra nostalgic

[@VeritasGames]

I'd love to, but so many details are lost to time - so many things are buried in obscure videos or not at all. It's surprisingly hard to find a lot of this info and even then that's when you're looking for it, but so much I don't know about or remember. :(

Watched the latest Pogcast where you and Jesse were talking about the different types of videos you create and their 'success'.... I can undoubtedly say these kind of videos are by far my favorite and watch them every time. I don't come to this channel for highlights, your stream is there for that, it's these type of videos.

This game is amazing but I'm finding this channel, the content covered, the narration provided, the perspectives offered, totally invaluable to the EFT community. Especially for new players. This channel has helped me to enjoy this game more than my own game played has. Looking forward to more awesome content like this. I Especially love the ones that help newer players like me understand the game, basic mistakes made, and ideas to train better habits or to gain better perspectives as we gain experience. Thanks for what you do.

ITS HERE! YES!🤘🏻 Started playing just before .8, really been looking forward to this episode... Edit: Man there was so much stuff I missed/didn't remember from that time period. Playing off and on, I missed a lot of updates, and just came back to the game with the "oh this is new" feeling. No scavs on Interchange.. never knew! Another great video V! The video essays are always unreal, keep up the great work!👍🏻

Part 4 from 10, i mean comn bro. There are nearly 4 Years you dont have, make more parts i like this stuff of videos good work veritas!

[@tmmy2ootuff843]

Its neat to see the progression of the game over the years. Also neat, is seeing old game play as well as the OGs that I, much more recently, watched and got me hooked on the game b4 I ever played it. I just started in April of last year and its crazy to me just how crazy different the maps and game felt to a very lost noob. Sometimes I still get flashbacks of how I felt that trigger while I'm in raid. Cool stuff, V. Thank you!

[@sigmarito]

I need part 5 now please! its exactly when i purchased the game. i want to see what the thoughts about the game were, since i was busy learning the game :) also great video V, enjoyed every second of it !!

[@jaegergames7042]

My best memory is just several weeks-ish, in the timea after Shorelines upgade, checking out the entire area as a squad. It was my first raid running a modified M4A1, as I'd been sticking to AK74s and 74Us, because I love Goldeneye it being my first Bond Movie. We had a contact a few hundred metres ahead of us, a chunky bloke. He was closing the distance. We were towards the Gas Station/UAV side of the map, a few hundred from the hillside of the Resort, and he was just before the base of said hill. We'd decided on loadouts, and I had the CQC M4A1, so I was running a Brake of some sort- so, loud- and a Holosight. Yes I'd splurged on the Stock, Handguard and Grips, but, I'd gone budget on Scope and Muzzle because Holos were the best choice for CQC without the Flea, and I didn't have much of a choice in Muzzles. The 4 of us drop prone and begin to engage, as the guy had come to a dead-halt to draw his gun up to aim. We started going Cyclic after he took a couple of hits, turned, shitting his dacks, booking to the hillside. I think we had an AK74 for medium ranges, my M4A1 CQC, and 2x M4A1s set up for DMR duty. This guy got his leg taken from under him, so he dropped prone to try and get shot less and fix his lesser injuries. He died then and there. We make our way over... M4A1 from a PMC was on his back, nice 226 was in his holster. His head had a barely-damaged FAST-M.T. with the Mandibles and a God damned RSASS kitted for mid range combat, and he had loot in his Blackrock and Tri-Zip. We'd dropped a 3rd of his FORTs durability. I got a headshot AS he dropped prone. I was suddenly terribly, terribly RICH. We all begin to desynchronise madly, as we moved on, and by the time we got to the resort as a squad for the first time, I disconnect. I fade out to the sound of an angry Scav. Panicking like crazy I reconnect ASAP. I hear heavy breathing. I hear gunfire. My screen never made it. I died before I'd finished loading. To A.I. Turns out the Eo-Tech Holographic Sight kill, a headshot, was 157m. So, a win I guess.

[@ryanbolson23]

I like how the trailers such as the one around the 5:00 mark make it look like gunfights are long and engaging, when in actuality they are over in seconds because either you head/eyes them or they do to you. Good fights in Tarkov are once in a blue moon.

[@_Legalizenuclearbombs]

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

I absolutely despise the flea market because of what it did to the player base (and mosty my friends). I hate it for the exact reason I hated the auction house in Diablo 3. Less people playing the game in favor of playing the market. Whats a apocalyptic scavenging looter shooter when you have a player market that removes needing to look for specific things and instead focus on high selling items.

[@StayFractalesque]

if the development of tarkov could be summed up in one short phrase that best sums up it's entire history in one go, it would have to be, hands down, "wow, we really didn't think that through eh?" .. still best fps of all time, okay byyeee

[@PowerWindows3813]

Good shit per. Usual my man👍🏾

[@fvardona]

One of the aspects of the debate on risk-reward of Tarkov is often overlooked is the fact that usually, people who complain about hatchlings, rats, and Mosin players are people who on average have very high-level PMCs with very good trader stats who put a lot of roubles into kits and a lot of hours into this game. While I myself am one of these guys I do not agree with the opinion of nerfing low-cost strategies over costly ones since all strategies should be valid, preferring to nerf one above the other inadvertently you are limiting the options of the players, and forcing a playstyle that many may not have the resources or time to do also the moment you enter a raid you are being subjected to be fucked over, you mustn't expect every run to filled with riches and kills as you see in compilations on youtube. Your average experience most of the time realistically speaking should either a) killing some scavs/players obtain some loot that could be good or meh and extracting or b) Dying to the many dangers of Tarkov. That is something that many players of the same caliber as me do not get, just as spending 200k roubles on a kit to do a run on customs farming dorms is a valid strategy and one that should work just as it is, the same could be said by the guy who wastes 30k roubles on a Mosin and camp high traffic areas in hope of getting your ass. If either you die or him it doesn't matter, the moment you decided to enter this run you are expecting this to happen. So yeah that is my two cents on the matter, I think people should cry less and play more.

The recoil looked so much better way back, this is my second real wipe (I came in at the tail end of one wipe) and never even saw the old recoil system.

[@alexandermccabe556]

the old recoil was more realistic PMCs should be able to handle the recoil better than a 12 year old girl its not really that hard to control recoil on most of those guns while the fal is notoriously uncontrolable most of the other arent that hard
