Escape from Tarkov

There is just no need for the AI whatsoever, they add absolutely nothing to the game... even if they were improved and tweaked... whats the point ? just get rid of them and put in more human players instead.

It's a truly bizarre design choice
 
So little update on how my refund is going. They haven't responded to my Paypal dispute so I have had to escalate it to paypal so now waiting on them. But they have banned my Tarkov account already so they've got the message, just chose to ignore it. Best part about it when the game tells me my login is no longer valid it locks up my computer and I have to do a hard reset - says it all really.

Cheers for the heads up, are you confident you'all get money back from PayPal ? Would suck to have your account banned and then not get the refund...

The AI are there to patrol the choke points and also provide loot to PMC players (Not Scav players who basically are teamkilling to get easy loot), I think they are needed because Scav players will just be out for themselves collecting loot not even bothering to fight, which would mean everything would be gone by the time the PMC players get to them on the bigger maps, you may think it a bizarre design choice but it is one that has been in the design from day one, besides there are plenty of multiplayer death match/team deathmatch games already on the market that do what you want why add another?

Just get rid of scavs then, they add nothing.

Doesn't matter anyway as I've just done a charge back via PayPal, very much doubt this game ever goes anywhere.
 
They have to the 19th to reply on my dispute before paypal will auto refund. So just a matter of time now.

This could have been my GOTY 2018, so much potential, the best gun mechanics and sound I've ever come across. If they had spent as much detail in the rest of the game as they have the guns it would be a AAA title, it just feels as though they came to the conclusion they spent to much time perfecting on the guns they hadn't done much else and rushed the rest. At it's current "Beta" stage the final release won't come to much more.
 
That's dissapointing to here, I was really looking forward to this, gun mechanics mainly. Is the tarkov account the game account AND forums, or just one? Still a bit stupid to ban an account for leaving..

You mean gun sounds, as there aint even 5.1/7.1 surround in the game at the moment, i started a thread on there forums saying when will this be added, as 50% of immersion is from the sound in a game for me and others, they did say they added surround sound months ago, but it caused problems, so they took it out, it is coming back one day thou they say, mind you, just the stereo sound is good, so full surround will be great if it ever gets added to game again.
 
AI got tweaked again seems to be back to their alpha state where they are not omnipotent head shot machines, you can actually creep up on them again if you are careful but are certainly not push overs if they spot you, even seem to be flanking in team & flushing using grenades.
 
I tend to agree, would get a refund instantly if I could.

There is literally nothing to do in the game either unless you enjoy walking around empty maps and shooting cheap glitchy AI.

I feel like the game has sold purely of its level of detail in certain areas rather than its gameplay. It has some very nice attention to detail with weapon customisation etc but overall the game is a soulless experience with very little to actually do.

Anyone who initially paid £120 to get into the alpha got mugged off good and proper.


They were utter mugs to begin with.
 
I think the game is great and yes it's hard but that's why I like it.

I hate losing my gear but everyone in the boat as you so it's fare.
I agree but it's the risk that makes the game so tension filled, no other game I've played can quite match the tension this game provides when you loot something rare & realise you still need to get it to the extract that counter seems to take forever when you have a full inventory!
 
The new quest system should be being unveiled at gamescon today or tomorrow, can't wait to see what its going to be like, I love the game as is now & hopefully this addition will give players more reason to roam the maps more & not just the usual loot spots.
 
I am trying to farm factory and lose absolutely every hatchet fight no matter what, I'm often 1 hit killed but can never achieve so much as a bit on anyone else. Where am I going wrong?!

Right click and aim for the head. But to be honest, don't even bother trying to axe fight with the kids on factory just take a shotgun and blow them away with some buckshot it is 10 times easier. If you're short of cash a Makarov is only 4000ru from Prapor and makes easy work of the hatchlings, just don't let them close enough to swipe at you. Taking higher ground like the overhead ducting etc also gives you a better overview and far less chance of them popping out of some cover behind you.

The loot system soon gets tiresome, I even felt sorry for one bloke I killed once - I went into the woods map armed with the cheapest pistol I could buy 2 mags with 16 rounds between them. This guy I killed was fully fitted out, an AR with all the attachments, fully kitted out .308 sniper rifle not to mention all the armour etc, must have took him days looting and selling to buy it all and I took him out with one round to the face from a good distance, I extracted 2 min's later with everything. Silly game.
