Escape from Tarkov

I got into this game recently, fallen in love with it too tbh. The only issue I have is even though I have a better PC than my friends, is that the game will often stutter after I play a handful of games, if I alt tab to click on something in discord or if I go to open a new tab in chrome. I've tried ticking the box that people with AMD CPU's are meant to and even checking the box for RAM cleaner. I've recently watch another video where i was told to check the box for overriding the DPI in the compatibility section of properties.
 
I'm 8 or so quests away from my first Kappa, I'm on 5/12 on Grenadier which is my roadblock at the moment, I mostly take grenades but forget to use them when things get tense :D

Not looking forward to attempting the 3 bolt actions on Woods now the map is absolutely ******* massive.

I'm not quite there yet but not sure I'll enjoy the PvP quests, i enjoy the scavenging & survival element really. I don't shy away from a fight but don't go looking either, tbh some of the most fun I have is seeing an ultra geared Chad appear and trying to escape them or (very occasionally) taking them down :D I watch streamers jumping around like super heroes and it just doesn't seem like what the game is supposed to be ...

stock up on them and go factory for grenade kills - you can knock it out fairly quickly.....

When you get strength and stamina to LVL 50 (max) - then you can jump further/run longer - it's like another game they are playing....

guess that's what 10-12 hours a day gets you!
 
Looks like Tarkov has burned me out....

12 months/3 wipes and I'm done with it for now....Will await from more updates/Streets map etc - to be fair I've hammer the crap out of it for the last 12/14 months so need a break.

Amazing game but needs new map badly...It just a top tier ammo/armourfest now - Nothing but the best gear needed.

Too easy still to make money (bitcoin at 654k today) - circa 2 million a day without trying when bitcoin farm up and running - no need to scav which takes away some of the fun of the game. Leaves just PMC runs all the time.

I do wonder how they'll balance this when it's properly released, keep the wipes going? Doesn't really 'fit' with the game and I'm sure they've said no wipes on release. Everyone having top end gear takes out a big, fun, part of game.

I'm a big advocate for nuking the economy big style (as is Nikita himself) but it will kill the game off for the vast majority if it happened. I'd rather people be running around with trash gear constantly and even class 4 armour being a rare find. I haven't actually touched the game in nearly two weeks but I wasn't that far in to the tasks, level 30 and just done the Stash 3 hideout and the game just is too easy. I don't feel the survival element at all anymore, I just make stupid money on one or two runs and buy whatever the hell I like and run with it. Shame really.

yes - I agree - it's hard to find a balance between the real hardcore players and the slightly more casual player. The biggest issue for me this wipe is the price of bitcoin - 650k each....Remove that or at least bring it back to 150k max etc as it was about 9 months ago and you slow things down a lot....

You can loose 2/3/4 million in gear in a day and still be well up at the end of the day selling bitcoin/moonshine and some scav run stuff....
 
I've not played the last couple of wipes, didn't realise the bitcoin price had risen so much, that is ridiculous from balance point of view.

My worry is that the game has been like this for so long it's going to be difficult to make the big changes it needs, fingers crossed though as there's nothing like it when it's good

Thing is I haven't even started the bitcoin farm and still don't struggle for money! Personally I think it was a stupid addition to the game but again I'm sure the player base would be in uproar if it just disappeared.

About 10 days ago I stopped cashing in my bitcoins to see if I could manage, hovering around the 5 million mark but did do a 21mil thicc case trade.

I personally like to see removal of btc and flea, get folks looting for that top tier ammo and meta builds :) Or at least hardcore servers with it disabled but would fragment player base too much.

Having lots of fun since getting Kappa, mostly helping others along with their missions.
 
Its the sort of game you do end up putting down and coming back to as the core of it is so good. They really need to sort out the hideous quests though not sure I can play through them again ...

How are people finding this game? This is my first wipe playing and I got SUPER into it, but then I hit kappa and have only played like once or twice (in 2 months since). I started playing labs and was just running into constant cheaters and it killed it for me :( shame cause I loved it before then

Similar for me, particularly around labs and the constant cheaters
 
Never played Labs, im sure you can play quite reasonably most of the time without running into one, but one is enough. It takes me a while to get my stash to where I want and by the time I do im fed up of the game. I always save up the best gear and then never use it lol. 80 million in the bank, meta guns and armor in my four THICCs and I cant face the prospect of going into a map - I guess because I see no reason to do it if im not resource gathering. Trapped myself until the next wipe.
 
3 wipes - and done for now.

Nothing left in the game for me unless huge changes/updates - Need new maps, not extensions, needs to massively curb the flea/bitcoin/hideout as its far to easy to make money. Had 50 million within 6 weeks of wipe last time. No interest in repeating the same missions for the 3rd wipe.

Also the missions getting easier each wipe....less kills, easier distances, any bolt action etc etc.

Great game - sunk 18 months into it and 2000 hours - but needs some proper development in terms of speeding things up, not new weapons/backpacks/clothes etc.....
