Again, he is reading off of a script because these questions and answers were translated twice, back and forth, and he is doing so in his second or third language. This is completely understandable.
no stream?
bro just learn chinese next time and ask verbally
@@wthefourthah yes so much easier 😍
What's the point of the interview then if the questions are pre written and the answers are too lol. Realistically they shoudlve sent a PR rep that speaks english
You are using the wrong word "script" . Him Is Just Reading the translate he write , stop. No script , no dogshit , no poop on the table. Stay calm guys.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEE hE's rEaDiNg oFf a sCrIPt." Bro is literally answering questions he was sent, in another language then his own. Man some viewers are so dense its actually concerning.
Yeah not the smartest chat 😂
That's how you know they're kids just feeding off each other. No one who has a public-facing job would ever choose to just shotgun answers (especially in a different language) when the questions were sent to you prior to the Q&A. Just because Nikita is constantly throwing out off-the-cuff answers and getting burnt for them doesn't mean that's the professional norm
Bro icestream the biggest Mobile ab Mobile cc asked these questions to the devs before ab infinite got released
Its more than concerning - Its demoralizing
@@Ludawig facts
we got chinese Nikita before gta 6, thats crazy
🤣🤣
Chinese Nikita got me in stitches
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
nailed it
Chinease nikita works
Getting landmark on board was the smartest move they could possibly make
Yep same with Pest. Gotta give it to them, smart investment right there.
yeah, they weren't dumb there. Also, in regards to the header file float variable names that were "copied" I reckon that was on purpose just to pull the piss and make the release gather more attention from the drama - if so, thats kinda smart move too.
@@exan6970I disagree with pestily he remains pro nikita. He was not opposing the unheard edition
quit glazing hes just a guy
@@iantaylor2273 talking from a marketing standpoint, dudes whole fan base is gonna try this game out
Arena Breakout mobile has me hooked! Those custom maps and weapons always keeping things exciting
One thing About the Mobile Version is that they carry out a Survey every Week so i agree them on the extensive Feedback..plus the Mobile Game has Gotten significantly Better since it became Global
I aggre with this since they seems to actually listen and I experience pretty good response about optimization
same on pc beta so far, survey yesterday and today
I highly agree with this one, since S1 they conducted surveys about how the event was going, did you get enough rewards even without paying, and specially with regards to lag issues, cheaters, and toxic behaviors of random players.
Yet you still LAG in menu that is fucking crazy to me, 300ms inside you stash is something else
Seriously in need of a PC code for Arena Breakout! Been itching to make the switch from mobile and experience the game on a whole new level
Anyone got a spare PC code for Arena Breakout? I've been glued to my phone screen, but it's time to upgrade to the big leagues
Been hooked on Arena Breakout mobile for weeks now! Absolutely brilliant
Constantly adding fresh content. It's like a new adventure every time I log in
And a way better solution than wiping the game entirely every couple months.
@@Maxime-ho9iv Im the opposite, I really want a game like this to be wiped every couple months, it feels like nothing maters late game when you have an unlimited amount of money to buy gear with
@@ozoz189 I understand, and to be honest in Tarkov, as it is designed, it feels like you can’t’ do without wipe. But I would love to see a different method. I feel like if you produce more content you should be able not to wipe, a bit like WoW.
If anyone's got a PC code for Arena Breakout, I'd be forever grateful! Mobile's been great, but I'm craving that desktop experience
that's impossible brother. codes are automatically activated on the user's account. they don't give a code, they activate it themselves
On the hunt for a PC code for Arena Breakout! Mobile's been fun, but I'm ready to take my gaming experience to the next level
our accounts will be moveable to pc right?
@@DonDidThatt nope, it'll be wierd if it does that
Been grinding Arena Breakout mobile non-stop
I don't see any balienciaga t-shirt. I like this guy.
You dont like drip?
@@fleektoven_1 Why not just ask him: 'You don't like companies that directly exploit and sexualize children and indirectly support child trafficking?' Be a bit more to the point, yeah?
@@fleektoven_1I like seeing the money we put in go into development not funding a rich kids dream lifestyle, tarkov got so much and barely made any progress and yet they ask for more “support”
@@AtlasJotun The fk you yapping here then walk naked without phones and shit cuz people get exploited everywhere..
@@fleektoven_1 Balenciaga, Gucci and co. is for broke people who should not buy it in the first place.
And now Pestily is taking his first crack at it.
Nikita burned so much goodwill.
Just until his pay check is cashed then he'll move on to something else. You know they sponsor content creators right aka cash payments.
@@Volomon So you believe that all of the Tarkov streamers are going to shill for a direct competitor and then go right back to playing Tarkov in front of an audience whose size they have intentionally reduced?
@@igotnukes6011 Yes because they are paid by ABI lmao, it's public knowledge you can find the emails
@@VolomonYou know that content creators are required to disclose that they are being payed as per UA-cam policy? So despite the fact that Landmark and Pestily have already stated that they were not payed, somehow you have evidence showing otherwise. You realize how serious an accusation that is right?
@@igotnukes6011I don’t care what streamers play, and u shouldn’t too, they are all in for the money, not the game
When these kids complain he reads of a script
Im intresed to see how many youtubers the watch 99% of them are all scripted
I love how everyone on the anti-bsg gravy train doesn't even bat an eye when this new game is stealing its content. These streamers are really put all their eggs in one basket, hoping their new free 2 play extraction shooter is going to be next big thing, because ground zero certainly didn't last long lmfao
@@enok7934 which content excatly?
@enok7934 cool but what did that have to do with his comment?
@@enok7934 Even if it is stealing content, it's demonstrating to BSG that they've been lazy intentionally. And that they could have done better but chose not to.
@@enok7934who cares hopefully they steal all the content and then run it better then BSG ever could and make the hundreds of millions more that BSG failed to capitalize on
I dont understand why people write of this game because the devs are Chinese or because it is made by Tencent? Riot games is literally a Tencent owned company and Riot always puts out bangers.
It’s the “China bad” rhetoric. So dumb
I think it's more because they copied Tarkov down to the T. It's a mirror image with a few tweaks.
@@craigharrison5406with a few important tweaks
@@craigharrison5406Who cares dude? What’s Nikita gonna do? More importantly, what will YOU do?
NA people are brainwashed to instantly think of China = bad or China = spyware, and its funny since NA also has spyware and shit lmao
Monthly for secure container makes sense, servers are a monthly cost. 3 or 5$ is 100% affordable and stops what tarkov did, adding a new edition that's more expensive.
And you can choose when to pay
A monthly subscription isn't actually a bad route and probably a route BSG should of explored before nuking everyone with a £250 expansion while kicking there vetrean players in the dick at the same time people might of been more understanding as like you said servers cost i mean World of Warcraft, Runescape, FF14RR, World of Tanks and so forth all run on subscriptions or offer access to other content via a subscription method , This all goes towards supporting the company keeping anti cheat upto date etc
$5 a month is still $60 a year, every year.
@@zackhawn5944 not that much compared to, uhh, anything else really
@@zackhawn5944 which isn't much and it's optional. you don't nned to pay to play the game. what's your point?
Wait for the armory map its gonna be chaos ..😂😂
Chaos is how I would describe the TV station with one word
Armory is just Interchange, and TV Station is just Labs
@@blackoctopus5182nah that's Rat Station
@@PerryKobalt nah Port is the rat heaven
@@blackoctopus5182yeah, armory is just full of god sweaty player running t6+m61. Tv is pure chaos, Even the chadest of all chad get ratted in tv all the time
It's funny that the tarkov devs could have fixed these issues, and improved their game. But decided not to do any of that and remain in early access for 7 years. Im glad Arena breakout Infinite came along. It will be a good for the extraction shooter genre.
😂
Except they’re redoing their entire game framework, people seem to choose and forget things and cherry pick.
@@apache9162 sure thing. They were sitting on their asses for too long. Too little too late for BSG
@@apache9162 let em leave, they’ll come moaning back in a years time when they realize Chinese tencent games aren’t that amazing once they’ve been juiced with micro transactions and “features”. Let’s not forget that it’s a blatant ripoff, don’t care if it’s in a different engine that 💩 is literally just low grade tarkov.
@@Darkdiver28Sure thing, enjoy playing a ripped off code and paying money like a loser.
Based on their post raid map that outlines your entire raid, they can easily use this data to locate cheaters. They have an anti-cheat supplement with artificial intelligence, and I think cheating will not be a problem in this game. They also have way too much money to sacrifice their player base for a few extra bucks.
unlike BSG...
Not hard when Tencent gives you the green light to plagiarize code, ofc they have enough money...
@@RogueAndroid i’m not sure how you steal code when using two different engines. I doubt it it’s copy paste, and the mobile game has been out for a long time with no issues. Additionally, China and Russia don’t give shit about plagiarism. You think this is America? Lol
@@RogueAndroid yo ass dumber than a bag of potatoes strapped to a stroller, imagine thinking tencent the biggest game company would let their studio plagarize game code from a game that is in a diffrent engine with diffrent code types, xd
@@RogueAndroid cough cough BSG should have too with their $150 and $250 editions
19:45 this section is very important to understand and the tarkov developers simply have not understood. I would watch you play Tarkov religiously for a year before I finally decided to buy the parts for a computer, build it myself (when I had no experience in that), purchase EOD version of tarkov because everyone said it was highly recommended to do that, and hop into it by myself. The biggest issue I had was trying to modify weapons, I did not understand how to do this. I had little knowledge of guns, and the knowledge I did have did not include modifications. I had to use the wiki on my phone to play because I did not have a second monitor. Tarkov needs to invest even a small amount of time into in-game tutorials on how to do things. Just from what I've seen from ABI, they're just a dozen steps ahead of everything. This Q&A is already more than we've received from Tarkov Devs as far as effective communication.
Can confirm, on mobile I check the weather to see if I want to risk bringing a thermal.
In the mobile version, there are "two" P2W options such as:
1. Secure Container/Case (3x3 slot) - "monthly subscription" - like the Gamma container in EFT.
2. Premium - monthly subscription - This gives you more storage space in you MAIN STASH/INVENTORY (not the inventory in a raid), additional listing in the MARKET if your'e selling items, and 20,000 Koens daily.
These does not affect the entire gameplay other than having a CASE though. Most of montezations are on AESTHETICS only.
There no 3x3 slot case and 40k a day are not worth since you can make alot and buying koen you can buy hundreds dollar worth koen but all of it can disappear in an hour if you dont know what you tf are doing and buying gear those gear are not even op and a cheap 17k mp5 with cheap leg meta ammo can easily kill t5 t6 player in six shot to the leg
"Most of montezations are on AESTHETICS only."
Because cash is only one sku, doesn't change the fact that you can simply buy your way to the best gear
@@epidemicstudios doesnt matter in a game where you cant keep it if you die
@@epidemicstudios and you can just as well still loose that gear lmao
If I get a 1x2 or even 2x2 case ill be happy with stash and buy extra space monitization
The only event modes that i could predict coming to the pc version is the faction wars (12v12), Northridge isolation (a semi battle royale game mode) and Northridge summit (Farm, Valley, Northridge and Armory bosses gather in 1 map(Northridge))
The summit mode is goat, also the other mode I enjoyed soo much, when you get 3 options of a prepared loadout that can change every few minutes, and they 3 options cost 30k and 60k and 150k the better the gear the more expensive it'll be.
And you get jumped straight into the action, all teams are gathered in a small area with a limited time.
It's fast and fun.
And also the other mode that costs almost nothing to jump in with again prepared loadouts, they cost around 5k? I don't remember! And again players are gathered in a small area, and they jump straight into the action.
But the loot you extract with doesn't count, you just get some points that will let you unlock some stuff with.
This mode is good to practice against other players without risking any of your gear, also it's less punishing so you can play it just out of boredom for some action fun.
The weather system and change of day is a tough one to crack because these maps are all static light baked. That's a great deal why the performance is so good, there's almost no lighting calculations being made as it's all "baked" into the textures as is. This is also a reason why the game looks so damn good as well while being performant. I suspect it won't be an easy solution to bring some more dynamic factors into the mix, perhaps it will be how Battlefield 2042 does it with change in weather etc. That game utilizes a very similar method of light calculation.
Escape from Temu les go.
Hey lyndmark, just to let you know if you want to buy key or card you better use it on forbidden mode. Don't use it in lockdown or standard mode. Because in lockdown and standard mode the loot rate is lower. While in forbidden mode the loot rate increase better gold and red items. If u want to get rich quick you better play armory and tv station and buy the keycard. In armory you should invest in command room card, second floor lounge key and first floor lounge. In tv station you need director keycard, planning key,editing room key, post production key and darkroom key. These are key that has higher red item spawn. Also armory bots and tv station bots forbidden mode carries lv4 ammunition and lv4 armor. The boss uses lv6 armor
Great guide, but we don't have those maps on the computer version yet!
He haven't yet experienced something like armory or tv station.
At least let him experience it first.
Also isn't the main bedroom key in farm also good in lockdown farm?
Idk I just see alot of pros using it.
THEIRS RED ITEMS???
@@blackoctopus5182 farm depends on luck. Armory and forbidden has the best red item spawn. Also armory and tv has alot of free safe
@@SauceyCos yes it's worth 450k some of them worth 500k. Gold lion,teapot,vase,T1 module, target module. The rarest item ingame was secret documents, it only take 2 boxes space. It can get you 7mill
It makes me so happy to see you enjoy the game, and see your views and community engagement pick up. Excited for the upcoming content
"thank you lundmark, we digested the free content"
- eroktic
Great Vid, glad to see you excited about the game
in all my decades of gaming, the Tarkov gaming community seems to be the only group thats made devs to their game of interest and now newer games that will fill the communities love for extracted shooters respond and communicate and show their future plans and then also hold them somewhat accountable.
I was on the fence about giving this game a try (not bc I play tarkov, I havent played EFT in a year) but after seeing this, I am definitely going to. This goes so far in showing the commitment this studio has to making this game worth playing.
actual chinese knockoff tarkov kekw
Hard no for me, china has enough $$$ & the game looks mid asfffff.

Tony, you are absolutely one of the very best streamers UA-cam has. Your intelligence shines through your community and you clearly appreciate your watchers. I will someday be able to monitarily support you, so until then, keep up the first class streams
There is night / storm mode on 3 different maps.. Farm, Valley, and NorthRidge on mobile.
Can’t wait for a streets aquivalent from them😂
There’s a map called port kinda similar I suppose
There’s already a Streets equivalent, Port. Littered with tripmines and everything. There’s also a Labs equivalent too, TV Station
This game seems to fill that spot between EFT and Hunt I don’t really know how to describe it more than that but it’s pretty cool
Landmark, in mission planning; WEATHER is the most important factor. It effects terrain, visibility, survival gear and mission essential tools to bring. would be really cool to see this implemented more, even in tark.
Gotta give it to Landmark, sticking to his guns....watch his streamer item get removed lol
Yeah im curious if they ever would haha I'm suprised half of them are still in ther3 and not rotated out for newer ones
Who cares bsg gave DrDisrespect an item and he never plays
Other content creators are weak and already coming back lmao. I think LVNDMARK needed an excuse to not play Tarkov since he's burnt out and Nikita fumbling was the perfect reason
Chinese dev speaking better English than Nikita is CRAAAAZY
Not conversationally though, most younger generation Chinese people are good at reading and writing, but lack listening/speaking skills substantially better they don’t have enough chance to practice.
He's reading from a script, I'd like to see him answer this off the top of his head.

Can't wait for more!
these devs seems like they are really open, smart, and the best thing of all get shit done. IDK if I should be happy, or worried for my future of addiction.
Good thing these dev run like Mihoyo, yeah a lot of chinese devs actually listen to the community, conducting survey to know what they people are expecting from them.
In Genshin Impact, in every patch there is always 2 survey as regards of the game content, mechanic and optimization. And they just follow these research to make the game for the players, and people keep paying them. It's insane how easy it is to keep people playing isn't it? instead of P2W lootbox bullshit.
People love the game lore and doesn't give a shit about PVP or stupid stuff like power ranking? Just give them more land to explore, more deep lore quest to play, and horny/meta chars to pulls, and never ever release a PVP related event or content since no one really care about it.
The event is too hard? just give people the max reward at medium hard and leave people who actually want a challenge do the hard-hard event for a small reward, win win for both the casual and the tryhard. Still too hard for newbie players? Just give them a free trial char that is quite good to clear the event and put the most valuable reward at easy difficulty so people can enjoy it.
It's crazy to me how none of the western devs even conduct this kind of business, like surveying the player that are actually paying them instead of listening to the top dog bean counters to fuck over their player base.
Mihoyo is notorious for being one of the worst companies in terms of being out of touch and greedy though?
The premium currency is very expensive and you aren't guaranteed the character you want with over 150 gacha rolls, not to mention players have been asking for end-game content for years, but all they seem to release is quests with hours of no voice over dialogue, and limited time events which you can miss out on.
Not to mention Anniversary rewards
@@ChubbicatGenshin isn't a good example to place Mihoyo in a good light I guess. Bring up HSR
I can promise you. As someone who's dumped hundreds of dollars into the game already (across 4 seasons) it is not pay to win. It's pay to donate... If you suck at the game good items won't help you. If you suck good items won't save you. They won't hurt free to play gamers. The good players only spend money on cosmetics. The bad players (like me) buy Koen to buy guns and then eventually end up giving the good gear to a Timmy fuck with dum dums
"its not pay to win because im personally awful at the game"
what an incredibly interesting and intelligent way to think !
@@FLLAable bruh... For one I was being self deprecating... I have like a 44% extraction rate with over 1k matches and something like a 7.74 kd
I think they'll have no issues making it live service and churning out content. Chinese version (not Global, western) Arena Breakout on Mobile is apparently 6-7 seasons ahead of our version.
Makes me think of Lost Ark, the Eastern version is usually ahead of content then eventually released to us, out West.
tbh it is a smart move to have 1 version of a game in a specific region be ahead of the global version, pretty good testing ground on feedback, bugs and fixes before releasing to the wider audience
Tencent's reputation is very bad in China (and I believe it is also in the world)
Therefore, Chinese players always have very strict requirements on Tencent. If any player feels dissatisfied and uncomfortable, they will really greet everyone at Tencent in the rudest language on all channels.
Scolding Tencent in China is simply "politically correct".
So if they can meet the demanding requirements of Chinese players, it basically means that they have passed the most stringent test.
comin in from ercocktic stream. Good questions, good answers. looking forward to the game.
I'm a AB moblie player and game have so many things to offer, both f2p and p2w. Cosmetics such as clothers and weapon skins are not that impactful. Also their are so many things like BP and rank points where you can get free things. Like in BP have ticket system where you can trade for weapons, heals and ammos. Rank coins can exchange for cases that misc loots, rigs, bag, and more. Also their a grindable clothes and 1x1 case for 1 day each. So the game is really good and addicted.
Sorry for grammar
You mean the reinforced case (1x2)
@@greoji yeah sorry, my bad
the mobile version has weekly surveys on how you feel about game and it's systems and events, i love it!
W Dev team. Im glad they took the time to answer some important questions. W LandMark too.
I guess the secure container is an okay compromise because not everyone will be into skins or stuff like that and theye have to have a way to make their money
If they push out skins related to the game it'd be great, it f2p after all kinda like fortnite does, but with all the skins.
@@DefyThegod problem is that in a tactical immersive game you cant add skins like they have in valorant or cs
I can’t wait to play this game.
It’s so fun
The Convenience Membership is with regards to extra (70 grids if I'm correct, dont know the exact grids) of storage in your warehouse so you can store more loot, Secured Containers that can carry a small space, and with those membership you also gain koens everyday. So far that is what I have noticed in the mobile game with regards to Convenience thingy. All in all, mobile version wasn't bad and it feels fair. Yes you can be out geared by P2W players but it's still a winnable situation if you're far more skillful and wise than your enemy.
man im really starting to enjoy lvndmark youtube.

"Convenience" = soft p2w.
Your pretty stupid 😅

@@meromoz there is no good p2w
True but normally what it means is you can either grind for hours or pay money and skip grind. For example War thunder is very successful but if you dont spend money everything is just slower and a bigger grind. I dont mind this because it normally caters for the different people. A kid in school who gets home at 3pm-4pm and has 5+ hours to play games and there weekends to play for 8+ hours has more time to grind the money and items that maybe someone who gets home from work and only has 2-3 hours to play cant do. While you can argue buying the items isnt earning them atleast everyone ends up on a equal playing field in the end and its not one person just being fully OP The only acception is streamers since they literally get paid to play games lol.
Also the goal of any free to play game is to have some type of way of having players spend a little money every month. This could be in the form of a battlepass or something else but if they are not making there money from a $40-$80 up front cost they want to get that money from you slowly over the time you are playing for months. A free to play game is normally just a trial of a game where you can play for maybe 20 hours a week for free but if you want to spend more time playing then spending some money is normally encouraged. Which to be honest makes sense since if your having a lot of fun and getting like 20 hours of fun and entertainment out of a game dont they deserve your money since your actually enjoying it?
If the game is good without paying, then I don't think people will mind as much. P4C is bad in games like Lost Ark because the game sucks to play if you don't pay. It's different than P2W but is still scummy. Some games have P4C that doesn't actually affect gameplay much (i.e DD2, Warframe). Basically the items given are more for people who want to avoid certain parts of the game entirely. It's still kinda manipulative but you don't have to engage with it for the game to be fun. It's at least better than lootboxes and Activision cosmetics.
for RMT, if both survive, you keep whatever they brought you, and i'm not sure about straight up bringing cash. more testing needed
nah. items get returned, landmark on stream gave a teammate a medical item to use after using all of his teammates, at the end of the raid they both survived and the item was returned to landmark
Now is the best time to start making some tips and tricks videos. Insane views inbound
this game has so much potential
for a lawsuit maybe.
Eh depends, uninstalled after a few raids as it was just budget tarkov, despite some qol changes it still wasn't as fun. Less risk/reward = less shelf life of fun personally. Honestly Sit-co-op has been much more fun.
@@derqatarzan4207 insanely good pvp… that’s the best part of games in my opinion so I love it, run into 4-8 players every raid if hunting for pcp
@@nathanmitchell7961 they aint got the money xd
@@nathanmitchell7961 what lawsuit? from who? lmao who let Nikita's cultists out of the woods
They should tweet their asset and tag Nikita, if its different of course! Or else they really did a Fucky Wucky ayyy
Doesn't matter China do not abide by any of our infringement laws and copy rights nothing will happen because they can't stop it on top of that Arena Released on steam before Tarkov meaning the supplied coding in steams eyes it belongs to Arena Breakout not BSG therefore if BSG ever wanted to branch out towards steam they no longer can
@@kielwelsh4512 Facts, in total honesty if the game is really good I won't mind lmao
@@Mr.Spaghettti I don't me and my friends value games based on price per hr of play time so divide the price by how many hrs you've played to determine if the game is worth it in the long run if your gonna dump 50hrs into a game a month thats £0.10 an hr for a £5 sub per month thats nothing and most people dump more hrs than that in a week let alone a month so it works
@@kielwelsh4512Thats not how Steam works bud. The rest of your comment is true tho.
The amount of original content is awesome
The only thing I don't understand really is what should I do with all the loot really, because if I have to pick up the loot just to sell it, its a turn-off for me. I'd prefer some special needs for the loot, similar to how crafting and hideout works in escape from tarkov, there you have a real purpose to pick up loot or buy loot from the market
Didn’t they like actually steal tarkovs code? Or am I trippin
No. Tarkov is written in C# while ABI is in C++
No ur trippin
No, they didn't! So you are definetly trippin
Right now the only thing that's 100% stolen I believe is an AK model. There's some things like the M4 reload, AK audio, and variables that look like they're from Tarkov, but I'm not sure if those are true or not.
@@weirdboy7 but ppl found like tarkov boss names in arenas files or smth like that , idk I didn’t watch that video but apparently something like that happened
we on that big payroll arent we
You are legally obliged to mention #ad if your getting paid. So no.
i cant wait for rush maps(farm, valley, northridge) and port map too just like in mobile version
Arena breakout mobile is amazing. They constantly send surveys about gameplay, how we feel about cosmetics, cost of sevices, all of that. They are seriously trying to dial this in and are in it for the long haul. The PC version will be amazing. I cant wait to play it.
theyre going to be selling koens 100%
unfortunately, they did in the mobile , altho they probably go in different directions in for pc since they have different target market
Yeah if they do that I will pass, that is not a good thing to do at all.
@@xlM3RCxl koens are so easy to get paying for them is a money sink lol
I dont mind it, because you will lose ur koens either way, im a f2p player and im able to amass 6mil wealth without paying a dime, and i kill alot of juicers with cheap kits, its mainly for those who lack skill, and im in top 80% of players, im bad at the game
@@leonardoariewibowo7867 the things isn't about you go f2p or not , but the fact that they have microtransaction that let you buy ingame currency with real money , i've seen bunch of them in mobile game , but in pc , man that ain't healthy
This Is 1000% the end of an Era, tarkov really messed up ABI is what Tarkov Arena could have/should have been. Mark my words this game will be huge and sadly take a lot of players away from EFT but that's what happens when you neglect your community for years while trying to milk them. ABI just appeals to a much larger playerbase of gamers while still giving the best feelings that tarkov offers, they are in big trouble hope they can still pull if together we will see but for now ABI Life❤
Im really liking what im seeing from ABI. Cautiously optimistic, but well see. Just hope they can really bring this one home. BSG is absolutely fumbling and get a real feeling of panic from them over competition being on the horizon.
You a good dude toni, just sayin. Topic: I just hope they make a rly good game out of this, the potential is there i think
Tencent extensively employs the "Elo" system in their competitive games, and opinions about it are divided. The Elo system assesses your gaming proficiency comprehensively and endeavors to match you with opponents of similar skill levels, which I believe is beginner-friendly. However, I'm not entirely certain that everyone will appreciate it.
He gonna abandone this game faster then my father abandoned me
Then ur dad must still be around games here for the long run
THIS IS FOR ADDITIONAL CONTEXT:
I have been a heavy Arena Breakout mobile player since season 1, so I can also add in some context regarding certain questions you had, like how they handle cheaters and RMT, lore relating to certain seasons/events, all that good stuff.
1. Anti cheating and RMT counters
When I say that these devs are serious about anti cheating, I really do mean it. I can't stress it enough. They don't just target cheaters. They target toxic behaviors as well, such as the following: griefing, teamkilling, and bad cases of loot goblins. Your report, even if it is vague, is taken seriously to the max.
One time, I team killed a disconnected random to grab his stuff and extract with it so he can get it back. But that was when I found out that players who kill their own are banned from looting the teammate they killed. So I had to leave it behind. I was reported by that teammate later, and I received a warning. Next time I team kill, I will get banned, no matter the circumstance.
The only way I know of (or knew unless they changed it) trading in game items for real cash is by gifting bundles. In Arena breakout, people led the argument that it's pay to win because you can purchase gear bundles and koen bundles. You can gift compatible gear bundles to other players, although it doesn't make sense because if you were going to spend real cash for ingame items, you might as well buy the bundles yourself.
In the official discord for mobile, they post weekly (or monthly) security reports, showing detailed statistics on how many bans, warnings, illegal koen confiscated, and any additional corrective actions they have taken during that time period. They also encouraged EVERYONE to do their due diligence to report any cheaters, including griefers, team killers, illegal koan trading, and rank boosting cheating. They are serious about their fight against cheaters.
2. Pay to win?
In the mobile, and soon to be in PC (most likely), there are things you can spend real cash for. However, they are pay for conveniences. Here is how:
1. A monthly subscription that rewards players with a generous amount of storage, additional daily koen (40k total from daily), a 2x3 composite case, and additional maximum listings on the market (goes from 8 to 16)
2. You can spend real cash to purchase gear bundles, which is a preset loadout for a raid. The rarity of the gear bundle is classified by the weapon type and gear tier, which affects the armor, ammo tier, and item quality that comes with it. Even upon extraction, the contents of the bundle stay with you until you sell it or lose it.
3. Additional items to purchase. More notably, a large key chain that lasts for 30 days. You might as well treat that as another subscription (a cheap one). It is a 3x5 key chain, allowing you to always have the opportunity to open almost all doors. (the north ridge map is the only map that has more than 15 types of keys)
4. Cosmetics and limited outfits/ melee weapons.
They occasionally release one bundle of items you can get that has exclusive and limited items. Holiday events add unique ones. Recently, there was a Bruce Lee bundle
Just like how the dev stated it, even if you buy these bundles and conveniences, that doesn't guarantee you a higher advantage over players who don't spend. skill matters in this game
3. Lore from seasons and events and game modes
Yes, there is lore behind new seasonal content and major events. The first one was in season 2, which introduced the port map, with a new contact with new quests. Then, in season 3, faction wars were introduced, which was related to the release of the tv station map. You had to pick your faction, and throughout the season, one development led to another, which resulted in a game mode called faction wars. In season 3, there were 2 faction wars that was literally an 8v8 domination match and then an 8v8 team death match game mode. There were even npcs in your respective factions duking it out alongside you. It's a huge fire fight. and in the current season, there is the faction war that ended weeks ago where it was a 12v12 on a bigger map..and it would rain or be foggy as well.
Lore wise, yes, these types of events and game modes have some lore if you are into it.
There is much more I could discuss, such as map difficulties, which in turn changes the interactions you have with npcs and loot rates. That also affects how likely you are to higher ranked/skilled players. It really adds in to that high-risk high reward feeling this game gives you
Sorry for the big essay, but I hope this helps
I tried the mobile game, and the tutorials are so good it's shocking. It just makes sense to teach a game like this through scripted gameplay scenes.
pay to win rubish
Lol go back to your 250$ tarkov.🤣🤣
Smartest tarkov player

@@DefyThegod i dont play tarkov and trust me Asian games always pay to win. go check mobile game ull see
Bruh it's subtle, they gonna need to make money somehow for server duh....
The company of thieves 👎
Компания воров
Russia has stolen tons of American IP since the invasion of Ukraine, I don't see the issue here.
Free games need to make money for development. I do not blame them for having ways to make money. Its completely different than a game where youve payed money to play and have to pay more to "keep up".
yess
this tarkov falloff is the best thing that couldve happened for lvndmark.
Imagine playing EFT for 6 years straight. Probably feels great to move on
Kinda would of liked a unscripted reply from the top of his head.
Kinda learn chinese and ask him urself 💀
In his native language that you could never understand? He is translating and then reading it to the best of his ability - We have no reason to think they are lying yet
You dont think Nikita has his answers scripted whilst nothing actually changes?
@@mortysmindblowers6438 Just let him reply in Chinese and give us subtitles - done.
If you think you can trust a chinese mobile game company owned by tencent then boy you are gonna have a tough life
the transparency that the dark and darker dev team has should be industry standard
Played all day yesterday ! The game is so fun
copy paste devs
Fact
Cope
There beta is better than tarkovs in 1 1/2 years vs 8+ years of tarkov lol
BSG's game before tarkov was a f2p browser shooter and they were a small indie studio. ABI is owned by tencent + chinese government lmao i hope they would do better than them.
@@TheHerrDoktorr we still play Contract Wars you know?
did we get a answer to if they ever plan to bring it to console?
Sounds pretty good imo.
PAY ATTENTION NIKITA. PAY ATTENTION BSG.
just stop playing lol tarkov is deader than ever. stop hoping they'll pay attention. just move on.
@@dustin0133 just FAngirl BS xD omg you all so stupid xD
They are and they're sweating bullets.
this game looks like a crappy version of Tarkov. No Thank You.
