TL;DR:
-FIR flea market is crushing the below average to average players. (I know what you are trying to fix, I really do. I am just stating its effect) I suggest making certain items not have to be FIR. Like really expensive ones. Where if I want to sell medium bullets or a fucking Klesh I can yah know?
-Vender price reduction is another blow. Like why? were us filthy casuals able to buy only our third stack of m995 this week that bad? Bitcoin farms were the best way for me to keep on keeping on…148k to 118k…Shit.
-Locked rooms. With the exception of the majestic labs, lets talk reserve. I carry a SICC case full of keys. Even making it to all of those I usually make 20-50k on average a room. AVERAGE folks. I know there's some good stuff in there sometimes. But overall not worth.
-Head/eyes hitboxes…dafuq? Can we get another look at this?
-Lag/Desync. Yes yes its in there, it needs to be fixed. I get it its a beta, whatever.
-Player loot…Can it just be FIR? Or something to that effect? Or make dogtags sell for Great money? Or make them worth say if I level 10 kills a 50 its worth exponentially more than if a level 50 kills a 10?
-Just a question…will there ever be something brought in like most games have where you try to match people of comparable skill levels? Or money they brought into raid? Just curious, don't murder me for asking.
-Bring in inertia. The side to side movement speed is out of control. make it like the front and back. If you call this game in any form realistic – it has to have inertia when you go side to side. Or make someone fall down if they do it too much. Or the gun goes all over the place.
-Spawns on most maps need to be a bit more unpredictable. Make more key rooms needing power to be on to use if you want to counter that. Its a good way to counter the hatchet runners BSG seems to hate more than hackers.
-Whats with the mosin hate? I get killed by a mosin…which is well not too often but it happens im usually more impressed than mad. Like good shot bud. Just because the big name streamers hate them doesn't mean you have to punish the only gun that can equalize the playing field. (sarcasm :P)
~All in all if you make the game more accessible for us filthy casuals, you will sell more copies, have more people playing, and can fund all those things you want to do to make this game great. Im still playing it but right now my time is coming to an end on here and I hate that. Give me something to make it a touch more rewarding, just SOMETHING.
Hello, I have been on this sub for quite a long time reading stories and I figured I should throw my opinion in on the current state of Tarkov. Now I know this community is quite toxic as people seem to be incapable of being empathetic to someone else's skill level, but its fine I can take it. At my max I was probably playing Tarkov 12-15 hours a week. Now I am down to about 3-5 hours. Usually my sessions go with lets play a game or two and if they go well – lets keep going. If not, lets play something that at the least rewards my time. ANYway. Here goes.
I am addicted to this type of play style because there is no game out there right now that gets my heart pounding in PVP like this one. I love the mil sim Genre, and being ex-military I really cant get enough of it. (I'm special forces…not! Head/eyes say otherwise…shit.)
So first point…What the fuck is with the head/eyes deaths this patch? I have never killed so many people with headshots (Im at like ~300 pmc kills so its really not THAT many). But holy shit. I am acting like an abused victim when it comes to peeking corners. Most fights if they last more than 5 secs, I have to get over the surprise that i'm actually alive before I start thinking of tactics. Yes yes folks…I move like a crack addict, I have my brightness/gamma set at a point where my optometrist is probably concerned, and I wear decent armour. (level 4 at the minimum) and 50% I use a faceshield. But nope. HEY THERES A GUY…oh wait, I was one tapped. Fast forward to death screen – 1-2 shots…head/eyes.
Next up…Only flea market found in raid…ooookay…I understand RMT bad…Quest progression slowed. OK I can deal with this. Wait, vendor prices reduced like 30%? Uhm..Alright…That's kinda fucked…at least they made the found on ground loot acceptable again. Whats this? Lab keycards 190k? Why? Ok I guess us filthy casuals don't get to experience labs. Whatever – most streamers wont even play there due to the hackers. I guess if I take my ultra rat path to D-2 on reserve and bring 3 grenades to kill extract campers I have a 15% chance of making it out with some good loot. (Fuck you General Sam, why did you have to show people those spots! They don't deserve them! Oh..and thanks for telling me what to watch for…)
I wont get into the desync issues and random odd deaths, putting 40 rounds into someone and them one tapping me, and all that. I'm sure they will fix the server side issues at some point. Hahaha. Right. Oh well heres to hoping. The new scav changes are neat. Raiders are still an…experience? CQB raiders good. Turning a corner expecting a scav and eating 5 insta throw grenades while being head tapped – BAD. Oh and fuck you Gluhar (DONT change this bot, I love and hate him :D)
I just realized I'm rambling, which is what I do. Sorry if you cant follow. I will put the changes of TLDR in the top and we can discuss. I fucking challenge you reddit to empathize, think, and respond. The yOuR BaD, git gud comments are unhelpful. Im a 33 year old Dad, who has a full time job, a premium rig, and 1100 hours into this game. I SHOULD BE OKAY. But quite frankly the game just isnt rewarding enough. The above average players have all the advantage. YES I know you deserve the kills due to your skill and you should do better. But this is like capitalism on steroids. The good players have 40-50 kits of top tier meta, ammo cans full of top tier ammo. So even if us filthy casuals get the drop on you, you have ALL the advantage that my potato sack and BT or M856A1 cant make up for. Not to mention this combined with Dsync, bugs, my own stupid grenade arm, and suicidal raiders with aimbot…makes this game hard to be successful in.
This is the only game that I am absolutely addicted to, that when my friends ask if they should buy it I tell them fuuuuuck no. This game will eat you up and spit you out….and all you want is more.
