When it comes to pve, it cannot be said it was suprised. There was a reason why spt became a thing. And for years, it was said that lots of player place are in their 30+ and they dont have too much time to grind pvp gameplay. Also, mortar event is literally taken from spt mod (just a comment at ~56min)
I have been saying this since before the wipe, after having such a long wipe, and dropped marathon and are trying to connect arena to tarkov that this wipe would be short, and not focused on economy which is a good thing so players can experience the content while they gather necessary data to make tweaks. Better than it being nerfed too much in the other direction where regular players who don't play 8 hours a day can enjoy this wipe. I notice most comments of regular people seem to enjoy this wipe more than the last one. Also the state of the game in terms of optimization and just general gameplay is the most solid its been in awhile. I just hope unity 2.0 gives us better optimization and higher fps.
I’ve seen this complaint a lot, but haven’t seen any people bring up other things to do in game that would work with both gameplay and lore. Have any ideas or just complaining?
of coarse streamers dont want us people who work for a living to be able to level up and play the game like normal.. there is absolutely nothing wrong with the level system now. but like you said . fuck casual players.
@@Joe-kl4vu There's numerous forums posts and even their own discord of full write ups on how to balance spawns. Do you think people should spawn directly within line of fire 5 seconds out of spawn or be forced to camp? The spawns need to be dynamic as well, static spawns are just stupid.
@@kingterry6045 So add in more back end stuff that might give stupid senarios and add in even more randomness in a game where pathing knowlege and knowing set timings tend to be deciding factor if you live or die....Yeah that doesnt' sound like it'd turn this game into an even more frustrating mess than it is.
removing Flea Market would be a stupid decision. as you maybe see, every wipe there are different Items who sell for a high Price. by removing it,you take away allot of interaction and influene the economy and value of Items controlled by Players.
When i hear streamers cry about how fast casual player are able to progress this wipe it reminds me of how controller players cried until they got insane aim assist to play against pc players on cod and apex. Or when they put in sbmm. Instead of complaining maybe find a way to pull in new players with your content. Just my opinion.
Also, people need to not get hung up on "finishing" tarkov. People are rushing bag to the end goal. There is a lot to change and I understand wanting your product to be whole. This was going to be a long road walk it or turn around IMO.
I think the biggest issue with the flea market aside from RMT is the fact that they have yet to figure out a way to make crafting viable due to how the demand of pricing for certain items are. The only thing I can think of as a fix, is each item has a maximum sell value on the flea, so that it doesn't undermine the crafting, but again, some people craft items to make $$ (right now the majority of items needed for a craft often cost more than the crafted item itself), other people use the crafts for their personal use which, for numerous wipes now, it's usually cheaper to just buy the item you need outright rather than buy the materials for the craft, unless the item can't be bought on flea. So perhaps removing all high tier craft items for sale on flea would be an option? Not really sure how you balance that.
Skybridge was the first map I felt like was well designed with blast gang in mind. It felt like the first really good Arena map. Glad Fortress is following in-line.
i feel like part of the neck hitbox problem is just that it really takes up a portion of the headshot hit box. so some shots that would be headshots possibly or a thorax shot end up being a neck shot which really doesn't happen in any other game so it sticks out as a bigger issue.
you should tell them to fix the broken flares wasted 8 red flares cuz 15.2 on querst air mail have broken them and dont work for the quests like something so game breaking should be fixed asap . . . . ..
I would say the game is almost good performance wise not including the server-side stuff like de-sync. like you said in the video they just need to get streets running well on machines from the past 5 years.
Almost good performance? On 4k i had 90fps on woods earlier this year, now with the same rig i can barely hit 50fps but only if i turn on fsr 2.2 on performance. Without fsr its like 40fps.
I don't understand why they don't just add a rested exp system. That way the sweats can get the same exp they always get and the casuals can get huge exp boosts for the small amount of time that they play. This wouldn't benefit the sweats but they don't need it. And it would let the casuals attempt to keep up (while clearly failing to do so).
Yeah but there should have been a median to it i shouldn't have been able to go from barely scratching by 1million to 15 million roubles with a 35 million stash value plus endless kits im now a certified Chad and its the game that allowed it it wasn't even me
7:07 You progress way faster than the average player no matter what's going on so your progression is almost certainly the same as other wipes relative to the overall progression. What you don't like is that you don't have scores of Timmies to beat up on with the advantages that come from being way ahead of the curve. You're never part of the player base that's lagging behind. For once, people that struggle to hit Prapor 2 by this point in the wipe are able to catch up fairly well and have similar access to quality ammo and armor.
Of course not. People who no-life the game should have a skill and knowledge advantage. What are you unhappy with then at that timestamp when you say the progression of the wipe is done? Certainly it's not that the skill of the Timmies has caught up, so if not the skill, then what?
Tarkov and Star Citizen have been developing for over a decade. I can't believe I've followed and backed both since the beginning. Fun fact: Open development increases development time by 50%-80%.
I feel the same way, but im conflicted. Yes, no flea would mean the items themselves are valuable instead of min maxing rubles per slot. But no flea would make the game a lot more hardcore and by extension not very fun for a lot of people.
I like this fast progression very much. The progression is almost how the game should have been the last 3 wipes as well. This way people who cant play 4+ hours every day also get a chance to see more of the game which also makes testing it more effective WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS BEING IN BETA! I get that you as a streamer don't like that very much, but for casual players this is a blessing. Skill progression needs huge balancing still - it progresses too slowly - the way it is right now it doesn't fit to the wipe every 6 months mentality, more so to a permanent progression game style.
Agreed 100%. The game truly needs to be balanced around the person who can only play ~10 hours per week. That is the majority of gamers and is what any game needs to survive. I also think Airwings problems is that he plays to quest and not to PvP. That's fine, but quests run out fast if you play 10 hours a day in any game and play it for progression rather than just fun.
I want private hive servers. Would make this game blow up even more due to private communities. Hubs that mainly do rp, or play more like dayz. Custom loot ETC
@@DarkKnight-bu4xu thats the point, people asked for it for years and nikita constantly denied and said it will never happen and that the current recoil will stay in the game , then suddenly in 0.14 recoil rework and everybody loved it
Totally incorrect on the progression here @airwingmarine - People with jobs want to be able to play the game and not be crapped on by no-lifers; This will mean that the minority of players will have to adjust expectations to 'Its okay that I can't crap on people with jobs/families with my meta gear when they can't get it themselves'
Your never going to keep up with "no lifers" Having better gear doesn't put you on a more even playing field, it just makes your loot donations more valuable.
I have a full time job and can play the game just fine, you need to just enjoy the game for what it is and not get so caught up with dying to players. You have scav runs which is infinite money.
The maps are dogwater, the only map i like is the trainstation one for blastgang, every other map for that gamemode feels gimmicky and low quality conversion just for the gamemode to BARELY work.
please tell bsg to revert these extracts expecially on reserve or atleast collapse them to be on top other extracts, people are spawning next to extracts and leaving immediately raids are so dead it sucks.
Very few people are going to reserve and leaving via transit... The raids have been empty for weeks because their is nothing to play for. The economy is dead and gear is easy to get.
@Airwingmarine there's a bug where you alt f4 after beginning transit and it just takes you back to menu like a normal extract, that's what everyone is doing. Nobody even going rebel, I would know I'm playing the map.
Listened to the whole thing while cleaning. I will watch the longer videos if there is a lot of stuff to talk about. Keep it up dog!
Awesome! Thank you!

Bro they just don’t get it. Arena was doa. Stop trying to make it work.
Arena is so jank.. it's the same as when Star Citizen implemented their gunplay. They need to stick to ships and Tarkov needs to stick to extraction.
Thanks for the video! Appreciate what you do for the Tarkov community as a whole.
Are we just not gonna talk about Nikita going back to the late 90s with dyed hair?

Getting rid of flea is insane too me. I'm playing my PvP game go play spot at tha5 point honestly.
Removal of the flea option is really cool.
Getting to the flea makes the game so so much easier.
Great vid! looking forward to the unheard video you mentioned since i wasnt paying any attention at the time
I like those longer videos and formats. But yeah i tend to watch them bit by bit
The flea makes tarkov unique. I think there should be tiers of flea access based on level, that denote what you can post up and buy off of the flea.
I like this idea.
Just restrict access to the flea to a Level something above current max level. Done.
Really appreciate you airwing! Love your dedication to keep us updated!
I swear the scavs think our pmcs are throat goats. Cause they sure know where to aim.
Was waiting for this video from ya ❤ thanks bud
Great video for people at work who can listen for long periods of time!
Comment for the preservation. You're a real one Airwing.
still no golden deagle for reshala :( worst wipe ever!
no flea for the first 2 weeks would be cool, or even for just one week.
Lol Airwing, every wipe is a throwaway wipe.
Terraria has 'mediumcore' as a difficulty modifier
Thank you for the long form video. +1
First question I think he meant hard core economy
1:21:17 It's also written the same on 15.5
2 hour video , i just sat down on the toilet 🚽, pray for me .
Lol same

you 100% empty thats good to 😂
sorry what does roadmap means?
Why split the player base even more?
Here to quote offset the algorithm

nice
I'm lvl 27 and have more loot this wipe then I did last wipe at lvl 40 just goes to show how broken non found in raid is
that doesn't make it broken, it makes it easier to acquire wealth. there is nothing wrong with more people having access to better loot lol.
Yeah but there should have been a median to it i shouldn't have been able to go from barely scratching by 1million to 15 million roubles with a 35 million stash value plus endless kits im now a certified Chad and its the game that allowed it it wasn't even me
This was only 2 nights of gameplay yo that got me over 35 million roubles
Psycho sniper light keeper 15 woods kills and shooter born needs to be changed and the game will be so much better.
If shooter born was 3 kills per map, I think it’d be a lot more palatable
@@B_Don99 I hate bolt action guns so yeah it’s just boring I hate every quest that requires you to play a certain way.
