@GrassyOCE @TheCooBean I was actually low key hoping arena was just a bit slower to mimic tarkov PvP. Maybe a bit selfish as well but practicing PvP in arena is not as useful anymore because of the big difference. I think there are ways to encourage movements in main game without broken movements.

@TheCooBean This might be the first constructive comments I've read 🙌

Nah movement saved gaming.

@NoiceGuy_ @nikgeneburn A man can still dream bro

@Pashoolakuj @nikgeneburn They canceled it

what do you want actually? (non related to tarkov answers only)

@JonathanLittle Go for a walk… for example follow the dealer dealing it to the parking lot.

After a crushing bad beat, what’s your go-to method to reset mentally? 👀

@nikgeneburn @nikgeneburn hello Mr. Nikita. Is it possible to add some of the 1.0 guns to arena as well? Would be awesome

@Atomicpuma9 @nikgeneburn brother, if you have level 3 ref… a normal Ulach with identical stats is 2.5x more expensive in gp coins than the ulach unlocked in battle pass! Same stats!!! I’m telling you there is a bug. Go look at identical items and compare then let’s chat.

@Pashoolakuj @nikgeneburn It’s very clearly not otherwise they would’ve changed the prices through a backend update already. I’ve seen a lot of talk about this change and it’s not like it’s gone unnoticed. You in fact don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not a big, it’s a balancing feature.

or will we?

@Atomicpuma9 @nikgeneburn You don’t know what you’re talking about. I can get the same item or even better stats for cheaper with gp coin because the prices got reverted back for older items. The new (better) gear are actually the cheaper prices. This is not a complaints, it’s a bug.

@Pashoolakuj @nikgeneburn Good, they are balanced now.

@nikgeneburn @nikgeneburn This seems unintentional—could you please take a look and correct it?”

@nikgeneburn Hey @nikgeneburn “In Hardcore, GP-coin ref item prices were initially increased and later adjusted down. After the Battle Pass patch, it looks like the older ref items reverted back to the original high prices, while newer items kept the reduced ones despite being the same tier

@nikgeneburn Now that’s a classy gesture! Positive attitude goes a long way and as a community we can all make extraction shooters more pleasing and fun to play. Respect to both companies.

thank you very much, guys!

@nikgeneburn Thank you very much

@Pashoolakuj fixing

@nikgeneburn Would appreciate it if these gets fixed.

@nikgeneburn Update is amazing! Just couple of things if it gets fixed would be great. In arena after the last patch movement feels very clunky and sometimes have to hit sprint a couple of times to start running. And ref trade prices have gone back up to what it was in hardcore.

@tarkov The prices of ref stuff got reverted again to hardcore. Could you guys fix that ?

The patch installation in #EscapefromTarkov is complete. Please download the update via the launcher.

@nikgeneburn Is it possible to decrease the price of ammo on ref for the rest of the soft core wipe? That’d be awesome

@nikgeneburn @nikgeneburn since we’re doing soft core can you also change back ref prices to what it was in previous wipe ?

we plan to have softcore changes in PvE too. Soon!

@Gigabeef Main thing should be… HARDCORE should not be mandatory for everyone!!!!! Make it a different part of the game like pve. Tarkov in itself is a hardcore enough game. This becomes too much of a grind.

My thoughts summarised for this wipe, as short as it can be: Overall: - Good & interesting for experienced, survival focussed players - Hard & unrewarding for both newer AND PvP/action focussed players Specifics: - No flea good, especially first 1-2 months. Maybe useful as a catch up mechanic later in the wipe eg month 3+ - High trader prices fine to incentivise barters, but basic meds should be cheaper (bandage / tourniquet / splint / ai2) - Low sale prices sucks when combined with: - Trader money spent, which is too much (pure grind & incompatible with barter focus wipe) - Scav timer too long for new players, could scale with level and/or stash value? 15 mins -> 45 mins for example - Tarkov ultimately needs some kind of "social security" for people who bottom out. If it's not scav, it should be something else such as a "basic kit" that can only be sold for 1 ruble (rusty M9, db shotty etc) but still allows players to do PMC at rock bottom. Risks naked runners though, I prefer scav for this mechanism - Transits are a cool idea but don't really work due to load time. Could be improved with stash management in load screens, this is currently not enabled - Disconnects/crashes during transit are too frequent to remove the "failsafe" of bringing PMC back to stash, but abuse of this system renders transits pointless - BSG should work on an "island" between transits where you can pause for the day. No interaction with the PMC kit, but would allow for stash management and also give a fallback for crashes to avoid the disconnect issue - Still think GZ + Customs + Woods would have been the best combo if transits were to be enabled - Combo of Factory + 100% bosses on Day 1 was a mistake due to not changing Tagilla's equipment set - Many ways to fix this: Factory not a "direct join" map, direct join maps not having 100% bosses, changing the kits of bosses dynamically based on wipe progress etc. - No quests at the start was an ok test, but it doesn't work for ~50% of the player base, and no real harm to include them - Trader gating is subjective but I quite like it. Allow players to keep questing with no blocks, but gating traders is a nice compromise imo - Removing C5 armor from LL3 traders was a good move - Arena link needs to be thought of very carefully. GP coins are nerfed significantly, but the money transfer really drove massive discrepancy between players with/without. Was fine before because scav & even PMC loot runs made a lot of cash due to flea, but wasn't good in the hardcore wipe. Cases also were too easy to get with Ref - Repair costs feels unnecessary - High Insurance costs/removing it feels necessary to stabilise the economy, but it sucks to get rid of it from a player's perspective Maybe more I've forgotten about but that will do for now lol

@JSetna89 Let’s go jimboooo

@RealKidPoker @WSOP If they add time banks…. It all becomes fair

@tarkov I’m a casual player. I do enjoy the flea market and insurance. It helps me enjoy the game as well. Why not have 2 different modes? Casual and hardcore rather than a forceful hardcore.
