@Gigabeef Why the hovercraft isnt leaving from near the rouge base in lighthouse doesn’t make sense. The whole lead up to ice breaker was the goons and rouges trying to find out about the boat and get to it. Now knight and the rouges are on there, they would have left from their base on LH

Such a good suggestion. Tarkov does love a single point of entry, rendering cool stuff annoying to access haha

@JesseKazam Jesse all this talk of cheese has me hungry now…

The Wedge’s AI kinda feel like a self fulfilling prophecy. They want the hard AI to be less cheesable and more difficult, but they make them so difficult you have to cheese them. And this has been happening forever The raiders were so much harder than regular scavs so people just reverse engineered their pathing and cheesed them making them easy The rogues were harder because of how far they could kill you from so people reversed engineered their pathing and cheesed them The black division had to be harder than the rogues and so people reversed engineered their pathing and cheese them And the Black division boss has to be harder than the black division. So we’ve arrived at this place where once people figure out the best way to kill him, everyone will just spam that strategy. I get it, I want tarkov to be hardcore too. I want this game to be challenging, punishing and hard because that’s what makes it rewarding. But who even is this for? I’m not saying it’s an easy fix and I’m definitely not saying I have all the answers but it just feels like it’s going in the wrong direction. They’ve painted themselves into a corner where each new ai has to be harder and if they just keep cranking up reaction time and movement speed then they start breaking their own desire for “realism” and the ai basically become superhumans. I just wish they would explore other ways of making the new ai more challenging. Idk, just some thoughts. Would love to know what yall think.

@H1512_ @bostonradio Oh wow, what a zinger! They really got them!

@sirflattythe2nd @bostonradio The pile driver is the completely unserious podcasters didn’t take super serious radio tryhards seriously

Friday radio beef recap: it’s been an absolutely miserable stretch for Boston sports radio, and the PMT crew just added another pile‑driver for good measure.

@Velion I play arena all the time solo and never really have these issues. Sure some matches ping can be bad or hit reg seems off but it’s not bad and I enjoy it. Sometime I wanna run Tarkov style guns and just shoot. And arena fills that sometimes.

I really don't understand how people enjoy Tarkov Arena... The hit reg is dog shit , the audio is dogshit and the desync is dogshit... How does one play arena? I can only play 2 games before I mald off because 4 dudes run around a corner and 0 of them make any audio. Whoever plays arena all the time has some serious gaming skills to play such a shit game.

@Savageboston By calling the show toucher and rich they are basically saying they know the show and the relevance of the show and its market. If you’re going to talk about the show and know “ nothing about the guys” you would be calling it by the shows name.

lol wow

@H1512_ @bostonradio So you didn’t get to either?

@sirflattythe2nd @bostonradio

@genooo @nikgeneburn Honestly, this is a good idea. But I don’t like the idea of someone taking an ammo pack in raid in their container. So I wish it could be a FIR only option. I am a fan of now ammo in the butt, I think it’s a hard decision that you have to make. Honestly I wish no meds stayed.

Okay @nikgeneburn I have an idea... As tarkov players, a lot of us miss the old ammo in secure container feature. Just hear me out👀 My idea? Make ammo packs ALLOWED IN SECURE CONTAINER, but once unpacked they default to bag / vest. Downside? It takes a 15 sec animation unpack🤔 Now, if you want decent ammo that is USABLE in a fight, you have to risk that animation. Dont want to risk it? No good ammo. I know some people might have a problem with 15 seconds, but it could even be skill based where overtime you can level it up to be faster. This is one of the biggest changes BSG has made that people mention they won't come back until its fixed. I made some example images down below. I would love to hear some of your guys thoughts 😎

@nikgeneburn Why not!

xm8 yes no?

@JesseKazam Yeah, have to agree with you on this one. They should just make it available to buy. It’s really simple.

This is unbelievably cringe. I bet they would make wayyyy more money just opening this up to EVERYONE and letting people buy the cosmetics they want instead of trying to convince a few more people to buy unheard. Asking people to spend more money to gain the ability to spend more money on cosmetics is crazy.

@domontovich @AirwingMarine Is there any way to rewatch the tarkov tv? I missed most of it yesterday unfortunately.

Loved the TarkovTV section with @AirwingMarine’s questions. Nikita’s answers were on point.

@AirwingMarine @NoiceGuy_ question for you. Is my pvp character like cooked? I stopped playing it back in January and I switched over to pve. I just don’t have the time and no one to play with on the pvp side. But I want to maybe go back to pvp at one point. Would I ever be able to get my pvp to kappa?

Here are all 4 of the prestige changes they made today.

@stoolpresidente I always view things like this as they guys are allowed to do things in thier free time. They all have their own personal lives. I get what you’re saying but sometimes you have to just let people be people sometimes.

Call me crazy but I like my coaches and QB’s concentrating on the weight room and studying game tape rather than making steamy music videos. But maybe that’s why we have 6 rings and were in the Super Bowl last year and the Chargers can’t win a playoff game

@AirwingMarine It gave me a good chuckle. Also video was great!

@sirflattythe2nd Dude, like clockwork... Legit like 90 seconds later

There it is!

@tarkov @bstategames Not a fan of the new aiming system. Please leave it the way it is currently applied in the live servers.

ETS testing is back! ETS is now open to all game owners, including Steam users. With the start of this phase, the NDA has been fully lifted. You are free to share screenshots, record videos, stream, and openly discuss new features with the community. This new testing iteration includes: ● Transition to a new Unity engine version to improve stability and performance, as well as enable new features in future updates. ● A rework of the aiming system. Our goal is to make shooting mechanics more realistic and immersive, while finding the right balance between weapon behavior and control comfort, so every shot feels fair and effective. ● Updates to data storage systems: improvements to how player profile data is handled, such as trader standing, PMC skill levels, and weapon mastery. We invite everyone to join the testing and share feedback on Discord: discord.gg/UFeFZ9tK9Q As well as through the feedback form in the #EscapefromTarkov launcher. Please note that the number of servers in some regions is limited, which may result in longer matchmaking times. We are aware that users may encounter an error when submitting feedback via the feedback form in the launcher, and we are already working on a fix.

@AirwingMarine @Gigabeef I think the best thing we can do is all of us being vocal that we don’t like the change. And hopefully they won’t change it.

@Gigabeef Don't give an inch of ground to realism on this one. There is nothing realistic about a wobbly ads. The current system on the live server is more realistic than the ets system.

I... just don't understand why this is happening. From a gameplay perspective, ADS is in the best place it's been in forever, especially with heavy weapons (that aren't used much anyway). All this will do is prevent people ADS'ing in close fights & boost pointfire usage... Is that really what we want? I don't see the purpose If this is just the "realism" angle, then I disagree with it. It gets in the way of players using their character and adds an uncontrolled element to the way ADS feels. IRL, sure, it's harder to get a weapon into proper ADS than just pressing right click, especially with LPVOs etc. But you're the one holding the gun, using your arms etc. In Tarkov the video game you have no control or feel over those things, so it makes sense to abstract them away and make the experience better for a user on mouse and keyboard. A necessary "evil" if you will, for the realities of the control scheme

@AirwingMarine Sorry I was wrong, the reward I got was for the error they had with gun unlocks and I got compensation for that.

@AirwingMarine I do the skier side and I still got rewards. But I got the rewards after the second time I logged into arena.

Did this stuff not show up for anyone else? It was just tied to the achievement right?

@AirwingMarine Imagine having the job to go around and check all the doors and re-lock them?

Limited uses in a persistent world where loot has to respawn and doors have to magically relock?
