Thank You, Everyone, for your Support. I was able to get my case further evaluated and I got unbanned on both accounts. I am excited to be returning to content creation again and I am looking forward to what the future holds. #EscapefromTarkov

@nikgeneburn I have such great love for what this game once was. If I continued playing this game, I think I would've lost my shit. I really do not like any of the gameplay changes we've had in the last 4 years. Please don't listen to the replies, just do not do this, keep it the exact same.

New reworked realistic non-linear aiming

@nikgeneburn Can we please get the ability to smoke cigarettes in game, it’s long overdue

@MrBubblyTTV I've been saying this since day 1 pk06 nerf. No one believed me.

he said the sight was “cheap & fuzzy”.. Years later I just still can’t see it lmao. an arguement that’s been cemented for wipes if not YEARS now 🤦‍♂️

@MrBubblyTTV It's truly crazy to me that they say that it feels too arcady. They must've never played pre-inertia or patch 11.7-12.11 with max strength + endurance. THAT was too arcady but still nowhere close to current movement.

For those wondering, they told me the movement patch will be reverted :). They’re trying to find a middle ground between keeping the game fast and fun, while also maintaining realism as well. They don’t like 0.3.4 it feels too ARCADY and “Quakelike” needs more balancing.

@tarkovarena Thanks. Now can we take the next step and implement the new inertia to the Tarkov main game? Right now is perfect time to tweak main game movement right now during softcore before 1.0 release.

New balancing changes in #TarkovArena: ● Returned the character inertia to the Patch 0.3.4 values; ● Returned the Strength skill to level 30; ● Reduced the consecutive jump strength penalty; ● Slightly reduced the leaning strength penalty while moving.

@MrBubblyTTV @SmojiiTTV It's all good, no need to apologize. I was originally thinking they were just going to add the arena inertia to the main game. Instead they are still tweaking inertia in arena for some reason.

@ZeckTTV @SmojiiTTV when they told me they would eventually adjust it they didn’t tell me this is what they meant — I’m actually so sorry lmao. this is literally terrible.

EW BRO WTF IS THAT??????

@lxghtendpublic @tarkovarena Agreed. I was talking to and old time homie last night and he said it best. "rust hasnt lost its soul, tarkov has".

@ZeckTTV @tarkovarena somehow worse than rust amirite

The installation of #TarkovArena patch 0.3.4.1 has begun. The installation will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period. Patchnotes: arena.tarkov.com/news/patch-0341

"Softcore" will still never be able to compete with this labs raid I played on January 28th 2020. @bstategames

@TorkieTweets I can't fathom this post only having 33 likes. This is insane

THIS IS WHY I HAVE BITBOT ALWAYS ON! THIS JUST HAPPENED! #ESCAPEFROMTARKOV

@MrBubblyTTV @tobytwofaced I would 100% run it back if they brought the arena inertia changes to the main game. I'm also 100% certain they're going to drop some hotfixes within the next 48 hours to fix some of the simple stuff, and hopefully more community balancing changes within the next week.

@ZeckTTV @tobytwofaced listen, if anything dude try it again over The Weekend I’m sure shit will be squabbled with patches and such. You just need more strength and endurance. And you’ll love this, inertia isn’t perfect. But at high levels it’s worth trying dude.

Played 1 offline customs raid - Can't put ammo, meds, or mags in container - Can't put sprint through bushes/foliage - Inertia feels the exact same. - General movement speed is still ~20% slower than pre-2023. RIP Softcore

@MrBubblyTTV @tobytwofaced Thanks, and honestly I hope I'm wrong with all of the negative things I've been saying. I should probably play a few raids today and see how it goes since I haven't even played an online raid yet lol.

I know how you can feel, I’m sure it might discouraging, but @tobytwofaced has been advocating for a faster leveling system, removing skill leveling cap, and removing diminishing returns as well to help everyone level up as fast as possible. BUT YOU’RE NOT WRONG ZECK! and you’re not silenced, your voice is heard <3. I’ll make sure dood !!

@nikgeneburn I'm certain the remaining player base loves the changes, but as a returning player who skipped the wipe it seems like the softcore changes were not meant to encourage returning players. We should all get level 30 skills minimum and 10 million rubles to play with.

hello, how are you? hope you guys are all right. we are at full scale 24/7 preparing the release. Thank you for patience and understanding! how's softcore changes?

It seems like the only meaningful difference is the inertia at higher weight which is cool and all. I'm certain the game is 100x better for players who played the wipe and have money and max skills. I just created my character today though and I don't even see a point of playing. I'm now apart of a minority of pvpers who want to comeback to the game to experience softcore but realizing the changes weren't made in mind for returning players like myself. I had way too high expectations of softcore. I also believed they had some kind of plan to get players back to their game after how badly the hardcore wipe went plus all of the other big FPS games coming out in Q4. I was wrong.

@ZeckTTV but it’s still a significant improvement on the system we’ve had before. Could it be better I 100% agree. Softcore isn’t dead, patch has been for up 6 hours. I had plenty of fun today. I don’t think you played much this wipe? So with low skills you can barely tell 2/2

What I wanted from the "softcore" update was to see the game somewhat similar to the glory days of Tarkov 2019-2021. If that was done, we would have seen player numbers higher than the hardcore wipe itself. Instead, a bunch of half-assed changes were made with absolutely no thought in mind for employed players who entirely avoided hardcore wipe. Player numbers aren't going to drastically increase, therefore, BSG is going claim softcore isn't what everyone wanted, then continue moving the game in the wrong direction with 1.0 and onward. The beauty of old Tarkov is that you could start a wipe 3 months in, and already be competing against people with little friction if you were good enough. Not sure if that's going to be possible anymore now. I might try a few raids to see if I'm correct but I played 1 offline customs raid and wasn't impressed.

@HayzStreams exactly how I'm feeling rn bro lmaooo

What even is Tarkov anymore?!

@Cryodrollic I thought the main point of softcore was to match the new arena movement/gameplay plus the additional changes that Nikita mentioned for the main game. Are you telling me the movement is STILL different between arena and main?

@ZeckTTV give that new arena movement a feel. trust, night and day from main game

- Can't put ammo, meds, or mags in container - Can't put sprint through bushes/foliage - Inertia feels the exact same. - General movement speed is still ~20% slower than pre-2023. I'm sure the game feels great for max skill players, but definitely not worth grinding for players who missed the hardcore wipe. At least give everyone level 30 skills, 10 mill rubles, or anything. It's the last time we're going to get anything like this and it's not going to boost player numbers unless additional changes are made for returning players.
