So DLC is "content that comes out after full 1.0 release", even though it's also been stuff they gave EOD in the past. But DLC is also the cosmetics, mode, and stash space they released last month, which EOD doesn't get right now.

But also they're giving EOD this pre-1.0 non-DLC, but only after 1.0 release. But also we're going to let you purchase early access to this mode, which isn't DLC, and EOD gets a discount on early access to this DLC that isn't DLC that they'll get for free anyway if they wait for 1.0 instead.

Somewhere there's an EA exec framing a picture of his new hero.

Also: the few people who did buy the new edition say they're stuck in queue and can't get into the PvE mode right now, when there's the fewest possible players trying to get in. Really doesn't inspire confidence that they'll figure it out by 1.0, "when the server infrastructure will be improved to the required capacity."

Do you think anyone will ever give money to a projected led by this nyet nigger again? He's showing his whole ass here, I cannot imagine anyone giving him the benefit of the doubt or free goodwill anymore. People have been gasping the last bits of copium in the tank for the past few years, where they kept convincing themselves it was worth it.

It will never be worth it. There's nothing here but a vehicle for more "research money" so Niki can buy more guns and accessories.

The worst part is, it's always been bad. They've always broken promises and Nigita always had public toddler tantrums over minor shit. The game itself was always kindof terrible, but carried by a great concept nobody else wanted to try at the time. I remember during the early years that doors were clientsided and would desync, then grenades would desync and be completely silent, then scavs would be completely desynced and you'd die to ghosts, then the players would be invisible, and then armor would be broken and you'd have to drop it and pick it back up to make it work, then your gun could be loaded with fake bullets the server doesn't recognize so on your end it'd look perfectly fine but you did no damage, etc.. And all these bugs kept coming back over the years.

And on the nigita front he chimped out at different games, DMCA'd a single youtuber 72 times after the guy said that their website security was ass after they had a data breach for the THIRD TIME in two years, got into sperg fights on Reddit and other shit I can't remember.

I stopped playing after getting fed up with trying to play the game and sneak around and be crafty, only to get blown the fuck out by randos running around with a knife and stabbing me in the back after I spent time trying to get into a good position. Apparently my positions were not good and I sucked. Which is fine, I suck at most multiplayer games but I still have fun trying. And then streamers found the game and I was out out out.

All of these bugs have existed since launch and I can confirm they still currently do. Invisible players is a lot rarer but for a good half a wipe it was a massive issue lol
ghost rounds too.

god i want someone with a budget, even if they're also greedy fucks, to make a good competitor that isnt a PVE game or some faggy mobile port lmfao
 
Whatever happened to Dark and Darker? I only ever heard of it as the shadow that was sneaking up behind Tarkov to slit its throat but never seemed to manifest.

a bunch of investors pulled out after its lawsuit, the game is still around and has a decent fanbase, but it's probably not going to be as big as it was before the lawsuit or gain more traction unless they do some crazy stuff.

After the Nexon lawsuit they got kicked off Steam as well, which completely ruined the momentum they had. People had to buy from their own site, and some Korean version of Steam. Last I heard they added VOIP, people started teaming up, then they either removed VOIP or started banning people teaming up in the dungeon.

The depressing thing is, DMZ for the previous COD was a lot of fun, it had the autistic gun customization, fighting the AI was actually fun and mostly fair, the gunplay was great. Yeah, the progression was shallow compared to Tarkov, and the game was a lot more "casual" friendly. (casual being people who don't have hours and hours to watch retarded Tarkov guides to keep up with the meta and changes) It was also pretty polished, ran well, didn't have any huge technical issues or that big of a cheater problem. But it got hamstrung by Activision's faggotry and being P2W as shit if you spent the $70 on MW2, not that Tarkov fans mind P2W. It also had cool solo player mechanics, like you being able to ask for help, and then the people who killed you can revive you and put you on their team.

And then it didn't make Tarkov money, and instead of iterating on it and making something really great, Activision dropped support for it.

Even before DMZ was a thing, BF2042 did it with Hazard Zone and was worse than DMZ and Tarkov combined. Seeing the current state of Tarkov-lites shows that DMZ was the closest to being a better Tarkov, too bad Activision is Activision.
 
The only game I could see being a very close competitor to Tarkov would be Gray Zone Warfare, and even then it looks more casual and less intense than Tarkov. At this point we're better off going with SPT with our choice of mods thrown in, along with hooking up MPT.

More feedback​

Greetings!
Let me continue my feedback on the current situation. First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings. Unfortunately, I somehow did not foresee the fact of such a reaction and now I have drawn conclusions for my future decisions.
Now I will briefly summarize the main points:
  1. About PvE access - we decided to just open it for EoD owners for free, but we will do it in waves. As I said before - we don’t have server capacity right now. We will start this process as soon as possible
  2. We also decided that we will add MOD support for PvE mode after release of the game
  3. About the Unheard edition - we will not remove it, we want to keep the option for those who want to support the game more. But we will balance items, perks in this edition, as well as we will provide more rewards for those, who upgraded with the old price
  4. New EoD perks will be balanced too. We will remove prioritized matching option to keep everyone in the same spot. And we will add more unique stuff to highlight the EoD version in general. We will provide the final list of the new EoD perks asap
  5. We continue to work on patches, new content, events, and the game release itself no matter what
Thank you for your time, love and hate, and thank you for your increased attention to the current situation.
Nik

It's always the same with Niki after any criticism. Bullheaded refusal to change his mind at first, followed by "Sorry you feel that way, but not that I made you feel that way" while he does nothing but promise "We'll fix it in the future, pinky swear!"
