      @MudHut67 Backface deformation on most ceramic lev. 4s for most calibers, even multiple hits within a reasonable amount, is basically zero . The spall coating on the metal ones,even on plain ar500, can catch the spall completely from nearly a 20r mag of 308. Even cheap Chinese ones perform similar and the miniature small stray fragment after about 15 shots of 762x39 is usually small enough to be caught by the plate carriers fabric .If you dont use fancy ap ammo or 300win mag + calibers deformation on the good brands is mostly non existent . Not to mention that most ingame plates are anti spalling coated steel plates. Its plain physics that bullets have less energy than gun recoil couse the recoil is the countereffect of the bullet weight + gasses sum and small disentegrating chunks of metal carry little momentum and impart even less ,so as we've seen online gettin shot in plates feels less than the recoil and is mostly not noticeable under battle conditions, buthurt boy who cant take criticism,self reflection too much . Dont worry, when you finally grow up, you would give your arms to be a kid again .

      @@elgringofeo9348 @ryanmitchell4044 what you are saying is exactly how i experienced this game for multiple wipes until i learned the following which totally transformed the game for me:
      1. there is always desync: if you wait for the person to come around the corner before shooting, that person is actually ahead and sees you first. you must always push, not react, charging around the corner will give you the lag advantage.
      2. ammo ammo ammo ammo: what comes out of the gun is more important than any gun or armour. a worn out m4 from a scav with good ammo is more deadly than a 3000 000 rouble HK416 build with weak ammo.
      using low grade ammo against enemies with even cheap armour who has good ammo puts you at a disadvantage because you have to hit him with 10-15 rounds because your low grade ammo is being absorbed by their armour, while it only take like 3-4 of their good ammo to blast through your armour and kill you first.
      the above 2 points are why you feel like you are getting killed instantly while you gun does nothing: tis because you are lagging behind the enemy and you are hitting him but your weak bullets does not kill whilst their good ammo kills you first.
      3. full auto is the name of the game: there is no single shot nothing if its an assaults rifle or smg. you go out of your way to get the best ammo. if you got weak rounds aim for the thighs or if you got armour piercing rounds aim center mass then MAG DUMP until the enemy falls over. the trick is to control the recoil and keep moving while hitting the target . no crouching or prone single shot pew pew. its drrrrrrr down sight whilst strafing left or right.
      4. he ain't dead until you see his stash.
      5. there is always another enemy, double check before looting.
      6. don't play on the standard edition, minimum prepare for escape edition- the standard stash is just way too small in the beginning. having a larger stash (and secure container) for quest items and gear before unlocking the flea is like pay to win.

      Nah, you still can buy good medicine, decent armor, mid and some high tier weapon with acceptable ammo, grenades, backpacks, armored masks (even META) and so much other stuff just from the Flea. You need to lvl up the traders only for better prices, 5+ armor plates and some limited things like RPD, Spear, KS-23, AXMC. Now skill is more important than raw price of equipment on a PMC.

      @@remix2822 you dont need armor this wipe cause you will still die from head throat most of the time with current recoil control and any shitty bullet will penetrate that class 3 throat protection :D I also disagree with skill is more important now then before, I was smashing those geared bois on shoreline resort / interchange and customs running in just tactec and as val / sa-58 previous wipes and i didnt even need to make meta val, just any ergo grip in front with laser cause aiming down the sight in this game doesnt reward you at close-mid distance, people werent that afraid to push previous wipes, now its just waiting game when they will hear your steps, not even try to crab walk, people will just sit in 1 spot for 20 minutes afraid to peak and since there is little to no recoil and extra too many hitboxes if you get ambushed by such rat you wont survive this time because you will get head throat or armpit hit, spraying with svd / shotguns and other 762 calibers feels like shooting a bb gun, now game is not rewarding for those who spend many hours playing it, no point in playing 6-8 h daily, if you remember how it was in alpha tarkov(if u had a chance to experience it) fights in my opinion were much better in alpha cause of very bad recoil that forced people to push each other at close distance (there was no face hitbox back then btw, headshot was just a headshot), fights were longer and they felt in my opinion more rewarding, even when you got that shitty loot from the enemy (cause there was little content in game) the feeling after won fight was really good and there were so many 4-5 man squads all the time, fun times

    Problem is the game keeps getting more and more grindy after every wipe, especially now that more stuff than ever is locked behind crafting which is a mechanic that only rewards those who spend a lot of time playing to maximize the workbench.
    Oh, and it's even worse if you don't own the EOD since the game is designed on purpose to be frustrating and pushing you into buying it, which could be fine if you kept the hideout progress, but it becomes stupidly boring when you're forced to do it every single wipe.

    I really hope they expand the level based match making to the entire game somehow. What I would really want though is some kind of progression based matchmaking. They have said that there will be storyline missions to progress through the game and actually "Escape" from Tarkov, so it would make sense to group players by where they are in the story.
    You could have maps unlock as you progress and also multiple versions of each map. Probably only 2 for each map; one without the boss and one with. That way the game would get progressively more difficult as you move towards the end of the story.

      In your tarkov, the casual playerbase will have absolutely no chance against the streamers/no lifes who play 7 hours a day due to gear inequality being through the roof. Any altercation to item rarity and loot spawns has only ever been in favor of the extreme players, since their hours mitigate the rarity compared to everybody else. We have already seen this with the flea-hightier ammo changes. These players still run 5a1/995 every raid, yet nobody else can get their hands on even 6a1. The flea market helps balance this.

    I was an early adopter of Tarkov. Introduced my friend to the game for my second wipe and we enjoyed it a lot. I then quit early into the next wipe due to the many issues with playing as a "casual" while he kept playing for many many wipes. It was always kinda annoying because the concept was so good, I liked the hardcore elements etc. but it got to a point where it didn't feel hardcore, rather a literal job to keep up.
    I think this is a step in the right direction to make sure that the game mechanics are implemented in a way that feels hardcore and feels Tarkov, but also doesn't leave the game borderline unplayable for people who can't dedicate their life to grinding it. I always loved the hardcore elements and would never want it to change (i'd go play warzone or DMZ if I wanted that), so I am glad that they're now finding a way to maintain that hardcore feeling while fixing a lot of the issues that came with that.
    Definitely gonna have to redownload and give it another chance.

I wanted to be good at it so bad but I couldn’t get over that hump. I finally sat down one wipe and just told myself to play and finally got better. Racked up 1000hrs since 2021. So glad I did that because no game gives me the same feeling as tarkov. The new additions of this wipe only solidify that live for this game more. I’m excited to see what BSG does next.

I always started the wipe late usually between 1-2 months. I actually enjoy it because there is not as much competition for the common quests. Yeah you run into ppl with gear but they aren't sitting there camping a quest like they do at the start of wipe. This wipe is the first wipe that I started day 1. I find that you don't get as much help if you are new. People are scrounging for any gear they can get. Where if you start wipe late and run into a chad one he doesn't want your trash gear and two low level dog tags are useless.
