Since Nikita just confirmed that wipe is near, a word of warning for any folks that plan to take some time off from life/family/job to play the new patch since the first day, morning to evening.
DO that!
Each wipe meant that for the first 24-48h Tarkov is hit with massive problems. Lags, queues breaking, framerate issues, problems with doing anything in your stash…just anything you can imagine. You can play it early, but you have to expect some BSG bullshit to happen.
The more available you are to play the less effected by the issues you'll be instead of the 6 wives, 10 kids, 20 dogs, IRL Plans Andy. You'll be level 40 gigachad with a full stash and they'll be still trying to finish pocketwatch on day 5 when they feel it's "safe" to log in.
Also please remember that Streets are supposed to be one of the larger patches they do, so we might finally see more content in the game. Who wants to be behind the curve on all the new juicy loot areas?
