Escape from Tarkov

I love the idea of this game but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. You guys think the designers have the skill to ever get out from under the massive de-sync, lag, glitching, hacker cloud?
 
I wish someone with a proven track record and engine took all the ideas and concepts from EFT and made it. Could you imagine this game designed by DICE in Frostbite? Would be so epic.

IMO the de-sync and cheater problem will never really be fixed and the game will just kind of run along on life support after release.
 
always felt like trying this game but having a smaller stash because someone paid more money just seems ridiculous and makes no sense.
how can anyone try to justify it.

Or quit trying to do MP when they can't and just go for the good ol' SP. Get the sales, get the skill and maybe in the future tackle the MP. :)

I read that too quickly and thought it was real and spat my breakfast out in absolute disgust and shock, you'll be hired to work at EA with that thinking!

well I gave it a go after avoiding the last two major patches... and surprise surprise the net code is still tragic, the game still lags when scavs spawn in and maps like shoreline still run horrendously... and as usual the devs blame the unity engine, almost as if it wasn't their choice to use it in the first place.

such a shame to see a good idea be so terribly executed, especially as it does some things very well.
 
Played this for the first time tonight, really enjoyed it, went in 3 times and on the 3rd decided to buy a machine gun :) I had an awesome round, took out a couple of players and stole an op-sks, an ak, loads of armour, and goggles and all that kinda stuff, rounds, a couple of big old backpacks. It all went far too well apart from working out where I should be going but i did get out :)

So far so good! 3 games, 3 player kills and 1 (skav?). I feel like I am doing ok so far got some good weapons and stuff now.
