Today they have given priority matchmaking to people who are using mics, a positive change that will no doubt drive even more people from the game. lmao.

Still no VOIP tho?


calling people slurs would make this game way better
 
Wow I definitely thought the game was launching with no voip.

That's good

They initially planned no proximity chat did they not? And no solo queue, and made it lame and gay.

To be very very fair to Bungie the no prox chat was during their early alphas. Testers told them prox chat was a necessity so they made sure to add it by the time the later betas happened.

Solo queu was also in the betas but like in Hunt Showdown, Arc Raiders or even Tarkov it's not a true solo q. You can still be matched against teams.

They should have taken a note from hunt where you can opt in to fighting trios though if you choose to. Marathon can force you to fight duos or trios if it wants to.

Though it is skewed to match you with other solos.

That's kind of the story behind every change so far.

I think it might of been rook or solo, but i'm pretty sure one of them was also added later due to popular request. Atleast Duos got added that way.

If you could solo Q in this game with an actual load it would be brutal. Rooks can already get the jump on kitted teams and take them down, but a lone runner with purple and gold gear could have an absolute field day. This was always my favorite way to play tarkov, friends are such a massive debuff in that game.

Duo/Trio is the sweet spot for Tarkov

Trios is just barely too much. Anything more than two people or three people who aren't in constant communication cause issues with target recognition and noise
 
theres a humble bundle deal where you can get a bunch of content for destiny 2 for almost thirty dollars, but thats not why i bring it up. it has a 20% off coupon for marathon. combine this with the 20% off deal for steam, and thats a 40% discount (i think). combine the two and thats 24 dollars for the game. granted, some of that is offset with the humble deal since youre also getting destiny 2 content, but still
 
I take back my suggestion that a sale might save this game.

Great work Bungie.

There are two different sale offerings and I don't think people are even aware of it. I havent seen a journo write some article about it at least.

I've seen it on twitter and steam.
Neither is enough to make anyone care. It is such a pitiful amount. 8 Dollars off.
What savings!
 
We'll hit the Sub 5k players peak weekend in like 2-3 weeks with this level of dropoff.

its fucking Over, I'm getting my Player Haters Ball outfit ready.
