Wanted to clear this up about me mentioning the raid series: I don't think the Raid series is bad. It was actually pretty entertaining to watch. BUT. We have all backed the GAME. I'm a gamer and I like to play games. EFT is a game I bought in to in hopes to support the development of said GAME. I just feel like the Raid series was a distraction from the development of the game itself. It cost a boatload of money to produce where I think that this money would've been way better spent on hiring more devs, fixing problems, better servers, better anti cheat......? I wouldn't mind it too much if the game was actually finished OR at least patched/fixed some of the many glaring issues that the game has (that I talk about in depth in my ''we have to talk'' series). I understand Raid series adds to the lore of the game and universe. But can we please have a functioning product first? If I want to watch a tv-series I'll just renew my Netflix membership. I guess at the end of the day the only thing that truly matters to me is not lore or world building. It's an actual good functioning game product.
U spoke the truest stuff i heard over the game for a while, only watching people crawling Nikitas ass for nothing and seeing 7 month long wipes because they become to complacement from all the money they made. Feeling that the OG Tarkov playerbase stopped playing the game for a long time, because it changed so much for the worse over the years, the older versions of the game made definitely more fun without some of the needless upfucks the game provides, u didn't have the damn flea and meta laser beam guns on day 1 of the wipe and people were less toxic like they are today, u could browse on the Tarkov sub and not only seeing dumb cryposts about this game. Wipes were happening in a matter of 3-4 months with nearly/less the same content with a much smaller team than they have today. Feels like they just shifted their goals and ideas for the game, since it became popular, it follows the same route like nearly every other "hardcore" game. Small Community --> Game becomes very popular out of a sudden --> Game gets featurs to make it accessable for money --> playerbase becomes irrelevant only the big ones matter
Its their project. Its like someone opens a patreon and people just bitched that they are paying for it instead of enjoying the rewards you get given for paying for it. I dont know where you have been but your arguements on this one just seem old and a bit invalid. Let them build the lore of the game , Let them develop THEIR game how THEIR studio wants.
Was Raid helpful to promote the game? Did it made people to buy it more? What would be cheaper for promotion: media ads, or own TV series thrown on UA-cam?
Pretty much, I love Tarkov and have been with the game long enough to have over 1000 hours in it. However the more time goes on the more I see BSG saying, "It's not meant to be fun, it's meant to be hardcore." as an excuse to wave away criticism for shit game design choices.
The length of the video is fine, but mostly due to you two having a lot of fun. I enjoy all of your Tarkov videos btw. BSG should take note of your comments/advice. I have not played Tarkov for a few months now.
Kevin, to be honest with you I stopped playing EFT myself... waiting for an update both Unity and content... hope that Nikita will notice the player count drop (as I assume there are more people who stopped playing) and will attend to the game and spend less time on the shooting range...
Keep up the good work KRASHED We appreciate your honesty. It's good to have a voice out there that doesn't blow smoke just to make the devs and streamtards happy.
I sort of stopped playing back when they introduced ping lock. I happen to move around and am often far away from my friends. The fact that BSG chose that as the solution to their spotty server issues was mind boggling. Then the flea market changes came that forced quests on players (I never got past the finding water in dorms quest in previous wipes), and it just led to me ultimately enjoying watching the game more than actually playing
Seriously people defend the ping lock thinking it was going to fix anything, it didn't and now alot of long distance friends can't play together. Ping wasn't the issue people made it out to be, I played many games where you could be up against high ping players and it not be as horrible as Tarkov. The biggest issue is their netcode, the ping limit was just a bandaid on a gaping wound.
Kevin. I love your videos man. I like them because you like what you are doing in them and having fun. That is the true entertainment and that's why I keep coming back to the videos. Keep having fun with what you do bro.
First 5 minutes of this video reflect the feelings of hundreds of gamers about tarkov, myself included. this patch was boring boring boring. when you get to level 40 and don't like doing kappa, game is ended. just desync pvp to do.
just got into tarkov (have 40 raids now) and despite the way it seems to be going I really enjoy it and am starting to love it a lot. I hope it goes into a good direction! I will try my best to be a good influence for the community. Great content by the way dude!
I’m not gonna lie, seeing you struggle made me feel a lot better about myself. It’s disheartening only seeing UA-camr’s crazy clips where they also run meta guns. It makes it feel like they never lose when it feels like that’s all I do.
Agreed wholeheartedly. The only place where the devs would have a chance to listen, the Tarkov subreddit, is top to bottom filled with BSG defenders. You literally can't be critical there without being downvoted. Ridiculous, these people are killing the game with stagnation.
You can't be critical of many things on Reddit without getting downvoted, including misogyny. Reddit is a cesspool. The Tarkov subreddit is pretty toxic, but that's a theme throughout a considerable portion of Reddit as a whole.
what it is truely. People critiquing tarkov are coming from COD and battlefield and Fortnite. People aren't use to the mechanics of the game. This is supposed to be something completely new that they're building
It's not negative vibe. Cool that you speak your mind and you're not Nikita's simp who says game is fine regardless what's happening. I won't lie - i feel the same, 4-5 guns over and over, groups of high geared guys camping the extracts are rather common, weather system and rain loud as hell, night raids which was my favourite are broken because everyone running around with thermals. This game needs a change.
To be honest with you, like lisior, I stopped completely too, Ive just had enough cheaters, shoots from nowhere or facing people in slick and meta M4 2 weeks after wipe. Oh, and fps drops. So I understand, how do you feel. Keep it up, I like your content very much, there isnt many people like you, who actually put content intstead of bullshitting people and trying to be cool.
Tbh this is my first wipe were i am close to kappa, never played much reserve so i've been playing that, started practicing labs as well. I've just stopped caring about what i have in my stash, rouble count etc.
Great channel, free speech is the cornerstone of a free society and I totally agree with the wipe being the worst yet. Extremely dull, mind-numbing, pointless tasks, head eyes virtually all the time, and the worst peekers advantage I have ever seen in any game in 30years. They continually muck around with the very basic mechanics of the game that should be nailed down by now. But let's all get excited about more guns added to the game that 99% of the players will not use, as it is not meta. Bunny hopping, drug-taking, sprinting across the entire map, overpowered PMC's, Virtually one-dimensional maps due to the spawn of high-value items. The first 2 weeks are the best and it is downhill from that point. I am literally walking around the maps not giving a toss if I escape or not. A great concept that is currently stuck. What happened to the fun...........................
This video was so entertaining because you & bubbles are one hell of a team! But yeah I agree that Tarkov is in a bad state right now. I have a couple of friends who just got into it and the only reason I’m still playing is to help them questing and showing them the maps.
Since they released a vector and the economy was so wacky, 2 months After what wipe I didn't see any changes from Nikita and i started to extract camp, that was the only way to kill those bastards wearing always class 6 armor and HKs, mp7 or Vector and of course selling all to fence, looting became meaningless and until Nikita do something, I'll extract camp with meta guns, until something gets done and listen to the really dedicated people like you Kevin, and many others who has great ideas to improve the game, sadly BSG seems to have their head in other stuff rather than fixing the game
Lets be honest, at this Point Tarkov IS just another CoD, just with added inconvenience . It all started with Drop Events and big Streamers getting a shitton of new Players from Fortnite, CSGO and CoD into the Game with wrong perspectives. Now the majority demands a more casual approach, which they for some weird ass reason actually get. Those people DONT want the Hardcore Elememts, they complain about weight system, they forced unrealistic Helmets, they enjoy Recoilless Guns, they hate challenging gameplay. At least that is what i feel like. Now everybody has a Meta 416, Meta M1A , uses an Altyn, that ridicolous Skyscraper Backpack, Slick ( which is totally OP ), is always on Stims , throws 300 grenades while playing the game with ridicolous looking Post FX Settings. Amazing. Back in the Day it was supposed to be a Hardcore Realistic Shooter, now its a casual ass point 'n click , sprint around and bunny hop simulator. Things that were supposed to make the Game harder instantly receive some weird Bonus that makes the change competely irrelevant. OR those Hardcore Aspects only affect regular Players. And they totally focus on adding End Game Gear, for 1 Mid Tier Item they add like 20 End Game Items which nobody can uses for ages. If someone actually critizices the game or aspects off the game in reddit they get instantly attacked by a bunch of butthurt Chads. Lets face it, EfT will never be as it was intended, it all changes 1,5 - 2 years ago, from there on the game went absolutely down the drain. I had high hopes for this Game, i enjoyed it the first 2 years, but now its just unimmersive, unrealistic, frustrating and annoying to play, not because i'm bad, but because of ridicolous Meta, ridicolous decisions by the Devs and an totally childish and toxic Community. And the Head Dev is also a little egofueled Idiot who doesnt listen to acutal Feedback. They rather listen to some idiot Streamer who came from Rainbow Six instead of listenting to long time players.
I totally agree with all that you said, but you need to check out Noiceguy Tarkkv on YT. He has a lot of good info on what the game is going to look like and how everything is still being balanced and such. For example, he says that the HK 416, Slick and most if not all of the really nice end game stuff is going to be really rare and hard to find. Don't loose hope yet, there is a lot more coming down the pipe.
@@ChocolateHabanero22 Dont get me wrong, there was so much promise and "light at the end of the tunnel" moments, but after 4 years i lost all hope for this game. I guess its time to become a casual CoD Player, since thats the only shit we will get forever.
@@Intrepid17011 yeah, I'm new so it's really hard core for me. Just surviving is a feat for me lol. Last wipe when I was brand new I still had 14 mill fluid cash in the stash, money is really easy to come by.
It's so weird... these "butt hurt chads" you talk about... I've never seen them. But I also don't use reddit. I do, however, speak Russian as a second language and I go to the RU language sources for most of my news. On the forums English speakers only complain about everything in the game, from what I can tell. They do shit like what you do here - make things personal with Nikita and call him names - because in their opinion he should be listening to some random assholes who bought an early version of his product. You are a fan of the game but you don't see how BSG are trying to flip switches on-off-on to keep people interested and test the game during beta? You don't think they put the GL in the game and made it not impossible to find - so that people would TEST it? Or were they just "not listening to actual Feedback"? From what I see YOU are an EMBLEM of this "toxic" and "childish" community, and I would put community in quotes, because it is a PLAYERBASE, not some neighborhood working together to stay safe and look after each other. You don't know and probably don't like a great many more people in this "community" than you DO know and DO like, so why the buzzwords man? ... Back to BSG for a sec: Imagine trying to do business, and all your customers hopelessly in love with your product to the point that they think they own it and demand you make it their own favorite way. Imagine that when you can't make them happy - you get called a "egofueled Idiot who doesn't listen" and much much worse - by many many a random prick who wants people to think it's HIS face he used for his profile pic. .... Just fuck off. This game does something you like on release you will be back nerding out jacking your dick to it like all these other knobs out here who want to mark it as their own. "Let's face it"..... pssh
6:30 The weapon preset assemble button always either errors out or disassembles as many other guns in my stash as possible to build the one I selected. Like, the M4 will already have a 370mm or whatever barrel on it but NOOOOoo it HAS to use one of the barrels attached to something else. It makes me really worry about the MOLLE rigging customization they're planning. I think the way rigs are in Tarkov now is fine and have no desire to add another 5 minutes to the already too much time it takes to prep for a raid. I recently noticed my scav is like 50% more leveled than my PMC and I was ashamed at first, but you know what?! I'm not afraid to say it; Scav runs are more fun than PMC raids. Its the easy-going stealth-looting game I want without spending 20 minutes equipping my dude just to get killed in the first minute of a match. I just wish I could get rid of the cooldown timer.
@@Krashed Oh I'm aware, my hideout is fully upgraded. It'd be cool if I could somehow unlock something that reduces or eliminates the cooldown even more though.
No dynamic loot, no proxy chat, silly movement, and an extremely large knowledge gap make tarkov essential DOA at this point. The comically slow pace of the game could be an asset, except waiting ~10+ mins between rounds and 20+ mins between fights = essentially impossible for a new player to “catch up”.
I like to believe that all the added crafts for the hideout are a prelude to a soon to be come change to the traders and flea market. Taking away the meta parts and equipment from the traders and removing the flea or at least make it a physical place to go to (maybe on streets) might change the the loadouts used in the endgame. Also, it might delay the "endgame" further if you have to get stuff for your hideout yourself and not just buy everything.
Appreciate the content. I share a lot of the same views and also love this game. And the length of the video was good. I personally enjoy the longer videos.
sometimes the more you complain about a game means the more you care and love it. if you didnt like the game then you dont care enough to complain but if you complain it means you have a connection to it.
I have been following EFT since the beginning, but now that I finally have a working gaming PC, I feel that the game that was marketed at first does not exists... Remember the trailer? I never see that happen in game nowadays. It feels too much like a generic multiplayer fps, totally lost it's identity. This spawn problem for example, it would be so easy to fix, it gives the impression BSG gave up and just want to cave to "meta" players.
With this video you made me realize - I had wayyy more fun a bit over a year ago in Tarkov than I have had in the last few months. The only thing that I enjoy is the Compass for immersion, otherwise most of the stuff BSG has added feels so unnecessary and hollow.
I'm an absolute new player, can only run customs with some semblance of knowhow. The only thing that makes me smile now is knowing they paid more for the bullet than they have use for whatever they killed me for.
I keep asking myself how so many things keep getting worse in tarkov. It's a beta right, for testing purposes right. Then why have they never started a wipe with everyone having all skills and traders maxed. So the beta testers could actually test out each feature.
Really enjoying Tarkov atm, probably because I am now mostly running as good gear as the people trying to kill me and I have my skills levelled up a bit, A wipe without major fundamental changes would just be annoying, except for the first week which is always fun, if I even have time to play on wipe week which I did not last time.
I started really late this wipe so I have not really felt the same burnout yet though I 100% agree that the bitcoin nonsense really made a mess. I believe Tarkov is interesting and unique because it has stakes; with so much money in game that element is completely negated. I hope they are able to tune the economy better going forward.
Krashed, I love your videos and I respect your opinion. I'd love to see more content coming from your page when it comes to tarkov, but at the same time i respect what you are saying and the most important thing in life i think is to do what you like. I support your choice of doing less videos on tarkov even if thats the only videos I watch. I hope BSG understands that too and can fix some of their issues.
played about a year ago then took a break, then back at it again two weeks ago. almost every single raid i die to a meta hk with 40 recoil, or 1 shot to the body. I'm giving up till next wipe, hopefully on thursday
I haven't played since the first month of the wipe. Like you said the game feels stale and the servers are unplayable for me rn. I'll check next wipe but if they don't improve netcode and server tick rates it's gonna be hard to keep loving this game ngl.
I like the med system, combat is violent an destructive so the meds is more realistic an can help slow things down but it does suck when you forget something. Beyond that, I agree with most of your points. This wipe has been crap after the first two weeks but I've been using the money printer to try out different things that I normally wouldn't be able to as easily (as a semi new player) I do hope many of the issues will be addressed an next wipe preform much better.
my problem with the pvp in tarkov nowadays is its all so figured out, sprint across a door to get info, right hand peak while prefiring with a meta gun and gg. its like 90% of fights and makes the pvp so much more stale than it used to be. even the streamers now you can see it, there used to be such a difference in how streamers would play the game and it was so interesting to see what other people would do. now its everyone playing landmark/quatroace simulator
Yep, people take advantage of broken/unoptimized systems... unfortunately. I catch myself sometimes doing the same (run peeking etc).. not because I care for meta or anything, but because I also sometimes want to win, and you need to do these things to win. Especially when you're not running meta loadouts.
That's what I said about spawns yoo, they should have 50ish+ diff spawn points so when you spawn in you truly have no idea where someone could be, spawn us in dorms rooms, spawn us underneath stronghold...ANYWHERE so people dont just b line to the closest spawn.
Here’s to hoping the next update is massive and patch 13 will be game changing. Factory expansion and some new weapons, attachments, ammo and hopefully some other solid tweaks. I do feel you tho. They’re talking a lot of game for patch 13. So let’s hope it’s all True.
The best indication that the game is to easy ( money and hideout wise, maybe not now that the hideout prices went up and Bitcoin was nerfed but let’s face it that came too late into the wipe, I think they’re trying it out for the wipe with 12.11) is that I am one quest from kappa. I’ve only played this wipe and the last one really. I’m decent and do get a lot of time to play but there’s no way I should be where I’m at. I have watched videos for years so it helps that I knew what items to keep for later task, for example I’ve had my Kappa items since two weeks in the wipe. So I’m not saying it should take me the entire wipe But the only reason it’s taken me this long is because I’ve gotten stuck on certain task that involve killing people in specific situations like shooter born in heaven and shooter part 8. But I wasn’t stuck on those because my aim, I was stuck on those because everybody I ran into was a chad that would just eat every bullet I shot When instead I feel like the things you should be stuck on is the quest that require farming and money. There’s no reason the quest that require a lot of money and farming I should blow right through but then I get stuck on the sniper quest because I’m hitting people in the face but they have class 6 and eat it, or they spray me down from 100m with an m4 or even worse I need to kill 3 in a single raid but people loot and scoot so I go 20 raids running around never seeing or hearing shit I’ve had Bitcoin since 3 weeks into the wipe. That’s ridiculous!
I loved Tarkov, first game I ever got 1000+ hours in. However I just have no more motivation to play. From bad network issues to them just wanting to make the game's mechanics more and more convoluted, it's just killed my motivation. I was set this wipe to max my traders for the first time, just 4 levels away from 40 to finish it off with Mechanic and Ragman, and I just....I just don't care anymore. Right now moved onto Hunt Showdown which I have been having alot of fun playing.
I has been thinking about current situation in tarkov and money isn't problem, but availability of items is. Excess cash is only a solution for RMT and reduces amount of cheaters, by not creating as big demand for rubles. And my soliton that can't be easily exploited by cheaters i think is reducing supply of good guns, armor and ammunition. Im aware that nikita don't want to remove flea market, but maybe partial removal and by that i mean not being able to sell ammo, guns, attachments and armor. All trade goods like food, hideout items etc. could be there without huge impact on game. Traders should sell you only basic stuff like pistols, bolt actions, saigas stuff like that. If you can't but HKs, Vectors etc. you will have to play with different types of guns. Make them specific drops of bosses or marked rooms etc. With that already ttk is much lower and add to that shortage of ammo you should pack what you can not whats is best ammo of that caliber. And having class 3 armor as best you can buy would make more ammunition viable and not having best ammo all the time makes class 2 and 3 usefull. And I would love more scavs at start of raid to force players to have ammo and armor not hunter with 11 rounds of m61 and backpack. Speaking of huntards for love of god surround killa with scavs
Ladies n gentlemen, we found him, we found the last real one left. Thank you for speaking up about this bullshit. The raid series, in game crocs, more geneburn songs, etc....
It is my first wipe, i really like the game and bought EoD oneday. But now I am around mid- to end-game with my pmc and it gets quite tedious and is still frustrating. I have much more fun in scav rounds and fighting other player scavs with random stuff than run with my okeyish geared pmc to the pvp hotspots, die to thicc dudes with better ammo, twenty grenades and high rpm or to rat around the map to do grindy quest instead. So I "marie-kondo-ed" my stash, sold everything but one money case. Now my pmc gets scaved shit and stuff I only buy for the run. Also I will play more hunt showdown again, which is more fun to me - not as complex or deep as eft but somehow just more fun and a nice pvp experience.
I agree, nowadays is just running on map seeking some PvP and hopefully not meet new players... Stale. I would like to see wipe without traders selling any attachments/top ammunitiom/4 level armor max. No flea market aswell :)
I tried joining discord, but the link takes me to the discord home page - I do have some Internet problems ATM, so it might be on my side, but maybe it's worth checking if the invitation link expired.
This is my first Wipe, iam close to lvl40 and iam having a blast. I sit on 40 mil and i can try every Equipment i want which is realy cool. On the other side i still use the Beta container and most of the Quest are super anyoing. And when i played this Game for 1000+ like other People i maybe would be bored two. I also dont like the Skill System which give way to much advantages and takes forever to level if you dont abuse some tactics. And i can understand when the Meta or PvP feels not good. Iam not realy hard into PvP yet, because iam still learning and enjoy Scav Runs or Stash Runs. I think the Game will never please everyone, but its easy to improve so many basic things to make the Game better overall for everyone.
Holy shit is Krashed actually speaking out against TARKOV instead of just being another ass-kissing "this game is too easy" generic tarkov streamer #96? Based. Keep up the good work and fuck them haters
One thing I've noticed is that as I watch people play a game, they usually release a video saying they're still enjoying the game around when I'm still watching but mostly not paying attention through the vids anymore. Then maybe 6 months later when the videos have dried up some I'll find out they're sick of playing and I'm like, "Yeah figured you would be, I would." Seems to always be the case, maybe you could see if that's the case for you and learn from it somehow, I dunno. You're a cool dude, don't fuck yourself on this game.
Some form of painkiller, grizzly, and CMS. That's it for meds. All you need. Grizzly is the fastest pure heal in the game with animation cancelling. If you need bleed or fracture fix, you let the animation run all the way through.
Yeah I agree with most of what he says but the meds thing I don't. It's a game that's meant to strive for realism; of course there'll be a variety of injuries. Just take a Salewa, Painkillers and Hemo in the rig and IFAK/splint/Surv12 in secure container
@@cianmcswiney2505 I think you missed my point. You just spent 9 slots when you can cover all the same things with 7 slots by using a grizzly, CMS, and a painkiller. At the same time, grizzly will heal far more HP, light/heavy bleeds, and fractures than using the individual component meds. And they do it at a lower overall cost (although I am generally risking losing the grizzly because I keep it in my rig). Grizzly is only about $25k as a trader barter, though, so it's also less expensive than the individual components which do the same things that a grizzly does.
@@allanwebb2985 maybe I am missing your point, my point was that the healing is actually in a decent place right now. The Grizzly is ofc the most efficient like you mentioned but I find the zipper sound can be a detriment in close quarters
@@cianmcswiney2505 I brought it up originally because Kevin mentioned forgetting one of the meds and it kind of screwed him. If you use a grizzly, you don't have that problem, since it's covering effectively unlimited HP, light bleed, heavy bleed, and fractures. You only have to remember to take in three total meds (grizzly, CMS or SurvKit, and painkiller). That's it. Easy. And if I don't die, the 1800 total HP in a grizzly lasts me for several raids before getting low enough that I replace it with a fresh one. The flexibility is completely worth the four slots (although it does mean that I constrain myself to rigs with at least one four-square slot so I can hotkey it).
Sorry about that, youtube puts them in automatically. It depends on the length of the video. This video is a lot longer than my usual uploads so there will be more ads
I feel the same, i cant motivate myself to go into raids, its just pointless. For me, money is the only "endgame" and it was given out for free this wipe. Iam so bored, and i fear that i might loose my interest in the game because of a lack of progression and content...
I understand your opinion and actually agree, but this game isn't finished. One can think the devs are wrong in their priorities, but the state of the game in each wipe can and will be fucked many times. The guns we see everyday like the M4, HK and other military grade equipment is supposed to be extremely rare/expensive and are so available rn so people can test and play them until the real, final product in-game economy exists. Sadly enough, you're doing exactly what people should do, play the game as much as you can enjoy at that exact time. And hope they end up delivering the things they have plan cause man, they are awesome but sooo ambicious
Dude i agree to many of the points here! I have no idea wtf this whole esports thing is and i dont give a shit about it. youre on your own with the hemostats though, i thinks it adds to the immersion and distressing nature of the game. i should come by the stream soon again.
Wanted to clear this up about me mentioning the raid series:
I don't think the Raid series is bad. It was actually pretty entertaining to watch. BUT. We have all backed the GAME. I'm a gamer and I like to play games. EFT is a game I bought in to in hopes to support the development of said GAME. I just feel like the Raid series was a distraction from the development of the game itself. It cost a boatload of money to produce where I think that this money would've been way better spent on hiring more devs, fixing problems, better servers, better anti cheat......?
I wouldn't mind it too much if the game was actually finished OR at least patched/fixed some of the many glaring issues that the game has (that I talk about in depth in my ''we have to talk'' series). I understand Raid series adds to the lore of the game and universe. But can we please have a functioning product first? If I want to watch a tv-series I'll just renew my Netflix membership. I guess at the end of the day the only thing that truly matters to me is not lore or world building. It's an actual good functioning game product.
U spoke the truest stuff i heard over the game for a while, only watching people crawling Nikitas ass for nothing and seeing 7 month long wipes because they become to complacement from all the money they made.
Feeling that the OG Tarkov playerbase stopped playing the game for a long time, because it changed so much for the worse over the years, the older versions of the game made definitely more fun without some of the needless upfucks the game provides, u didn't have the damn flea and meta laser beam guns on day 1 of the wipe and people were less toxic like they are today, u could browse on the Tarkov sub and not only seeing dumb cryposts about this game.
Wipes were happening in a matter of 3-4 months with nearly/less the same content with a much smaller team than they have today.
Feels like they just shifted their goals and ideas for the game, since it became popular, it follows the same route like nearly every other "hardcore" game.
Small Community --> Game becomes very popular out of a sudden --> Game gets featurs to make it accessable for money --> playerbase becomes irrelevant only the big ones matter
Present loadouts is a good idea.
@@toxic1628 I think I heard the Devs have preset loadouts planned... for whatever that's worth.
Its their project. Its like someone opens a patreon and people just bitched that they are paying for it instead of enjoying the rewards you get given for paying for it. I dont know where you have been but your arguements on this one just seem old and a bit invalid. Let them build the lore of the game , Let them develop THEIR game how THEIR studio wants.
Was Raid helpful to promote the game? Did it made people to buy it more? What would be cheaper for promotion: media ads, or own TV series thrown on UA-cam?
The slogan of Tarkov is slowly becoming "MaYBe ThiS gAme JuST ISN't FoR YOu"
I swear man its basically their identity at this point
They would eventually find out their game is just for the 17 streamers lmfao
Pretty much, I love Tarkov and have been with the game long enough to have over 1000 hours in it. However the more time goes on the more I see BSG saying, "It's not meant to be fun, it's meant to be hardcore." as an excuse to wave away criticism for shit game design choices.
_TaRkoV iS noT suPPoSeD To be FUn_
What I said to myself when I stopped playing.
The length of the video is fine, but mostly due to you two having a lot of fun. I enjoy all of your Tarkov videos btw. BSG should take note of your comments/advice. I have not played Tarkov for a few months now.
Did not expect my other favourite YT content creator to be watching! Did not think you were the gamer type Lars!
Lars plays tarkov? this is one of the best crossovers ever hahahahahhahaha
Kevin, to be honest with you I stopped playing EFT myself... waiting for an update both Unity and content... hope that Nikita will notice the player count drop (as I assume there are more people who stopped playing) and will attend to the game and spend less time on the shooting range...
I uninstalled EFT and now I'm playing STALKER Anomaly. A better feel of accomplishment.
Where can I get stalker
Opens up krashed video, sees kedr. Ahh yes a man of fine taste
Tarkov is such a good game held back by a few unnecessary and giant issues which just take away from the fun.
This is a positive comment for the UA-cam algorithm
This is a positive comment for the youtube algorithm
This is another

Another one
Keep up the good work KRASHED We appreciate your honesty. It's good to have a voice out there that doesn't blow smoke just to make the devs and streamtards happy.
I sort of stopped playing back when they introduced ping lock. I happen to move around and am often far away from my friends. The fact that BSG chose that as the solution to their spotty server issues was mind boggling. Then the flea market changes came that forced quests on players (I never got past the finding water in dorms quest in previous wipes), and it just led to me ultimately enjoying watching the game more than actually playing
Seriously people defend the ping lock thinking it was going to fix anything, it didn't and now alot of long distance friends can't play together. Ping wasn't the issue people made it out to be, I played many games where you could be up against high ping players and it not be as horrible as Tarkov. The biggest issue is their netcode, the ping limit was just a bandaid on a gaping wound.
right in the heart man. my bros in my old UA/RU clan, I miss those days. Being stuck now in Western USA, playing with Americans just isn't at all fun.
finally somebody who takes raiding seriously.
Kevin. I love your videos man. I like them because you like what you are doing in them and having fun. That is the true entertainment and that's why I keep coming back to the videos. Keep having fun with what you do bro.
First 5 minutes of this video reflect the feelings of hundreds of gamers about tarkov, myself included. this patch was boring boring boring. when you get to level 40 and don't like doing kappa, game is ended. just desync pvp to do.
just got into tarkov (have 40 raids now) and despite the way it seems to be going I really enjoy it and am starting to love it a lot. I hope it goes into a good direction! I will try my best to be a good influence for the community. Great content by the way dude!
I just recently got the game as well, if you’re looking for people to play with i would be down!
Username is 50CAL757
I’m not gonna lie, seeing you struggle made me feel a lot better about myself. It’s disheartening only seeing UA-camr’s crazy clips where they also run meta guns. It makes it feel like they never lose when it feels like that’s all I do.
You'll really enjoy what's to come then... stay tuned :D
Agreed wholeheartedly. The only place where the devs would have a chance to listen, the Tarkov subreddit, is top to bottom filled with BSG defenders. You literally can't be critical there without being downvoted. Ridiculous, these people are killing the game with stagnation.
You can't be critical of many things on Reddit without getting downvoted, including misogyny. Reddit is a cesspool. The Tarkov subreddit is pretty toxic, but that's a theme throughout a considerable portion of Reddit as a whole.
what it is truely. People critiquing tarkov are coming from COD and battlefield and Fortnite. People aren't use to the mechanics of the game. This is supposed to be something completely new that they're building
worst thing BSG can do is to listen to reddit...
Totally lost it at hearing the Reserve train horn sped up 2x. That shit was hilarious.
It's not negative vibe. Cool that you speak your mind and you're not Nikita's simp who says game is fine regardless what's happening. I won't lie - i feel the same, 4-5 guns over and over, groups of high geared guys camping the extracts are rather common, weather system and rain loud as hell, night raids which was my favourite are broken because everyone running around with thermals. This game needs a change.
Have an upvote for your comment but also for your nick - got ROTFLMAO; next up "Jem Cebule" :D
this was, by far, the best tarkov video i've ever seen
To be honest with you, like lisior, I stopped completely too, Ive just had enough cheaters, shoots from nowhere or facing people in slick and meta M4 2 weeks after wipe. Oh, and fps drops.
So I understand, how do you feel. Keep it up, I like your content very much, there isnt many people like you, who actually put content intstead of bullshitting people and trying to be cool.
Tbh this is my first wipe were i am close to kappa, never played much reserve so i've been playing that, started practicing labs as well.
I've just stopped caring about what i have in my stash, rouble count etc.
Its a good mindset to get over gear fear lol
Thank you Kevin for being vocal about these issues. I just hope things get better in the near future.
Great channel, free speech is the cornerstone of a free society and I totally agree with the wipe being the worst yet.
Extremely dull, mind-numbing, pointless tasks, head eyes virtually all the time, and the worst peekers advantage I have ever seen in any game in 30years. They continually muck around with the very basic mechanics of the game that should be nailed down by now. But let's all get excited about more guns added to the game that 99% of the players will not use, as it is not meta.
Bunny hopping, drug-taking, sprinting across the entire map, overpowered PMC's, Virtually one-dimensional maps due to the spawn of high-value items.
The first 2 weeks are the best and it is downhill from that point.
I am literally walking around the maps not giving a toss if I escape or not.
A great concept that is currently stuck. What happened to the fun...........................
Thank you, I just really REALLY hope Tarkov becomes truly great one day
@@Krashed right there with you on that, however, I will not hold my ...........
This video was so entertaining because you & bubbles are one hell of a team! But yeah I agree that Tarkov is in a bad state right now. I have a couple of friends who just got into it and the only reason I’m still playing is to help them questing and showing them the maps.
I have switched to the offline mod and I've never been happier.
Still just as hard lol
@@fiftydabs5114 you're right, but it's somehow more enjoyable. Maybe because I don't feel like I'm dying in BS ways constantly.
@@byrdgames1325 true, i feel ya. I just got the game and i have only been playing offline for now, which still been whooping my ass lol
@@fiftydabs5114 I have some mods on the SP mod that make the AI a lot more difficult and more abundant lol
Ratacombs??
Nice one bubbles, now i know where i live
I agree with every aspect of the discussion at the start, it's just so true.
Since they released a vector and the economy was so wacky, 2 months After what wipe I didn't see any changes from Nikita and i started to extract camp, that was the only way to kill those bastards wearing always class 6 armor and HKs, mp7 or Vector and of course selling all to fence, looting became meaningless and until Nikita do something, I'll extract camp with meta guns, until something gets done and listen to the really dedicated people like you Kevin, and many others who has great ideas to improve the game, sadly BSG seems to have their head in other stuff rather than fixing the game
I’m looking forward to the inertia system in the next patch.
That fall at 16:27 though.... I honestly can't remember the last time I laughed that hard 😁
You’ve got some of the best feedback and ideas for EFT Kevin, love your vids and the fun you have playing with Bubbles, really entertaining!
Lets be honest, at this Point Tarkov IS just another CoD, just with added inconvenience .
It all started with Drop Events and big Streamers getting a shitton of new Players from Fortnite, CSGO and CoD into the Game with wrong perspectives.
Now the majority demands a more casual approach, which they for some weird ass reason actually get.
Those people DONT want the Hardcore Elememts, they complain about weight system, they forced unrealistic Helmets, they enjoy Recoilless Guns, they hate challenging gameplay.
At least that is what i feel like.
Now everybody has a Meta 416, Meta M1A , uses an Altyn, that ridicolous Skyscraper Backpack, Slick ( which is totally OP ), is always on Stims , throws 300 grenades while playing the game with ridicolous looking Post FX Settings. Amazing.
Back in the Day it was supposed to be a Hardcore Realistic Shooter, now its a casual ass point 'n click , sprint around and bunny hop simulator.
Things that were supposed to make the Game harder instantly receive some weird Bonus that makes the change competely irrelevant.
OR those Hardcore Aspects only affect regular Players.
And they totally focus on adding End Game Gear, for 1 Mid Tier Item they add like 20 End Game Items which nobody can uses for ages.
If someone actually critizices the game or aspects off the game in reddit they get instantly attacked by a bunch of butthurt Chads.
Lets face it, EfT will never be as it was intended, it all changes 1,5 - 2 years ago, from there on the game went absolutely down the drain.
I had high hopes for this Game, i enjoyed it the first 2 years, but now its just unimmersive, unrealistic, frustrating and annoying to play, not because i'm bad, but because of ridicolous Meta, ridicolous decisions by the Devs and an totally childish and toxic Community.
And the Head Dev is also a little egofueled Idiot who doesnt listen to acutal Feedback.
They rather listen to some idiot Streamer who came from Rainbow Six instead of listenting to long time players.
I totally agree with all that you said, but you need to check out Noiceguy Tarkkv on YT. He has a lot of good info on what the game is going to look like and how everything is still being balanced and such. For example, he says that the HK 416, Slick and most if not all of the really nice end game stuff is going to be really rare and hard to find. Don't loose hope yet, there is a lot more coming down the pipe.
@@ChocolateHabanero22 Dont get me wrong, there was so much promise and "light at the end of the tunnel" moments, but after 4 years i lost all hope for this game.
I guess its time to become a casual CoD Player, since thats the only shit we will get forever.
@@Intrepid17011 yeah, I'm new so it's really hard core for me. Just surviving is a feat for me lol. Last wipe when I was brand new I still had 14 mill fluid cash in the stash, money is really easy to come by.
It's so weird... these "butt hurt chads" you talk about... I've never seen them. But I also don't use reddit. I do, however, speak Russian as a second language and I go to the RU language sources for most of my news. On the forums English speakers only complain about everything in the game, from what I can tell. They do shit like what you do here - make things personal with Nikita and call him names - because in their opinion he should be listening to some random assholes who bought an early version of his product. You are a fan of the game but you don't see how BSG are trying to flip switches on-off-on to keep people interested and test the game during beta? You don't think they put the GL in the game and made it not impossible to find - so that people would TEST it? Or were they just "not listening to actual Feedback"?
From what I see YOU are an EMBLEM of this "toxic" and "childish" community, and I would put community in quotes, because it is a PLAYERBASE, not some neighborhood working together to stay safe and look after each other. You don't know and probably don't like a great many more people in this "community" than you DO know and DO like, so why the buzzwords man? ... Back to BSG for a sec: Imagine trying to do business, and all your customers hopelessly in love with your product to the point that they think they own it and demand you make it their own favorite way. Imagine that when you can't make them happy - you get called a "egofueled Idiot who doesn't listen" and much much worse - by many many a random prick who wants people to think it's HIS face he used for his profile pic. .... Just fuck off. This game does something you like on release you will be back nerding out jacking your dick to it like all these other knobs out here who want to mark it as their own. "Let's face it"..... pssh
I hope this channel isn't dead. Always enjoyed your content.
Hope you're doing well Krashed, we miss you and your amazing content!
You and Bubbles are a riot! Much love, see ya!
very relatable my man, I understand your frustrations
10:51 Sounds like a harmonica lol
it does XD
6:30
The weapon preset assemble button always either errors out or disassembles as many other guns in my stash as possible to build the one I selected. Like, the M4 will already have a 370mm or whatever barrel on it but NOOOOoo it HAS to use one of the barrels attached to something else. It makes me really worry about the MOLLE rigging customization they're planning. I think the way rigs are in Tarkov now is fine and have no desire to add another 5 minutes to the already too much time it takes to prep for a raid.
I recently noticed my scav is like 50% more leveled than my PMC and I was ashamed at first, but you know what?! I'm not afraid to say it; Scav runs are more fun than PMC raids. Its the easy-going stealth-looting game I want without spending 20 minutes equipping my dude just to get killed in the first minute of a match. I just wish I could get rid of the cooldown timer.
You can decrease Scav cooldown with intel center in the hideout... and mate, you do you, do whatever you find fun. Do your scav raids!
@@Krashed Oh I'm aware, my hideout is fully upgraded. It'd be cool if I could somehow unlock something that reduces or eliminates the cooldown even more though.
No dynamic loot, no proxy chat, silly movement, and an extremely large knowledge gap make tarkov essential DOA at this point.
The comically slow pace of the game could be an asset, except waiting ~10+ mins between rounds and 20+ mins between fights = essentially impossible for a new player to “catch up”.
I like to believe that all the added crafts for the hideout are a prelude to a soon to be come change to the traders and flea market. Taking away the meta parts and equipment from the traders and removing the flea or at least make it a physical place to go to (maybe on streets) might change the the loadouts used in the endgame.
Also, it might delay the "endgame" further if you have to get stuff for your hideout yourself and not just buy everything.
The extra length is good.
Everyone that just posts comments saying “this is for the youtube algorithm” need to start being more creative.
im joking, the joke is I am also just posting a comment for the algorithm just one step removed.
When tarkov is good, its the best. When its bad, its the worst. => I feel that !
Appreciate the content. I share a lot of the same views and also love this game. And the length of the video was good. I personally enjoy the longer videos.
sometimes the more you complain about a game means the more you care and love it. if you didnt like the game then you dont care enough to complain but if you complain it means you have a connection to it.
Love this channel , your commentary is hilarious
Tarkov became so boring to me that I started playing League of legends again, that should say enough..
I totally agree. I think adding VoIP would really help obviously with a way to turn it off (preferably by key bind).
I have been following EFT since the beginning, but now that I finally have a working gaming PC, I feel that the game that was marketed at first does not exists... Remember the trailer? I never see that happen in game nowadays. It feels too much like a generic multiplayer fps, totally lost it's identity.
This spawn problem for example, it would be so easy to fix, it gives the impression BSG gave up and just want to cave to "meta" players.
May i introduce you to Hunt: Showdown?
That's what I moved onto, been having a blast
@@MamaGrell1992 same dude! Such an underrated game. Would love to see Krashed play
@@JakeEatNow im glad that hunt is popping off, seen a handful of tarkov streamers play it.
Just don't place on oce and asia you will be fine
Hunt in its past was way better than its now ... they were listening to the crybabies and it turned into current state ...
With this video you made me realize - I had wayyy more fun a bit over a year ago in Tarkov than I have had in the last few months. The only thing that I enjoy is the Compass for immersion, otherwise most of the stuff BSG has added feels so unnecessary and hollow.
I'm an absolute new player, can only run customs with some semblance of knowhow. The only thing that makes me smile now is knowing they paid more for the bullet than they have use for whatever they killed me for.
I keep asking myself how so many things keep getting worse in tarkov. It's a beta right, for testing purposes right. Then why have they never started a wipe with everyone having all skills and traders maxed. So the beta testers could actually test out each feature.
Really enjoying Tarkov atm, probably because I am now mostly running as good gear as the people trying to kill me and I have my skills levelled up a bit, A wipe without major fundamental changes would just be annoying, except for the first week which is always fun, if I even have time to play on wipe week which I did not last time.
I started really late this wipe so I have not really felt the same burnout yet though I 100% agree that the bitcoin nonsense really made a mess. I believe Tarkov is interesting and unique because it has stakes; with so much money in game that element is completely negated. I hope they are able to tune the economy better going forward.
*most* players aren’t sitting at 100 mil, even with the bitcoin farm
Krashed, I love your videos and I respect your opinion. I'd love to see more content coming from your page when it comes to tarkov, but at the same time i respect what you are saying and the most important thing in life i think is to do what you like. I support your choice of doing less videos on tarkov even if thats the only videos I watch. I hope BSG understands that too and can fix some of their issues.
played about a year ago then took a break, then back at it again two weeks ago. almost every single raid i die to a meta hk with 40 recoil, or 1 shot to the body. I'm giving up till next wipe, hopefully on thursday
Stopped playing Tarkov to enjoy my backlog of other games. When 12.11 with Unity 2019 drops, I'll come back and try it again.
I haven't played since the first month of the wipe. Like you said the game feels stale and the servers are unplayable for me rn. I'll check next wipe but if they don't improve netcode and server tick rates it's gonna be hard to keep loving this game ngl.
I've gone bk to siege aint played tarky in ages
I like the med system, combat is violent an destructive so the meds is more realistic an can help slow things down but it does suck when you forget something. Beyond that, I agree with most of your points. This wipe has been crap after the first two weeks but I've been using the money printer to try out different things that I normally wouldn't be able to as easily (as a semi new player) I do hope many of the issues will be addressed an next wipe preform much better.
my problem with the pvp in tarkov nowadays is its all so figured out, sprint across a door to get info, right hand peak while prefiring with a meta gun and gg. its like 90% of fights and makes the pvp so much more stale than it used to be. even the streamers now you can see it, there used to be such a difference in how streamers would play the game and it was so interesting to see what other people would do. now its everyone playing landmark/quatroace simulator
Yep, people take advantage of broken/unoptimized systems... unfortunately. I catch myself sometimes doing the same (run peeking etc).. not because I care for meta or anything, but because I also sometimes want to win, and you need to do these things to win. Especially when you're not running meta loadouts.
That's what I said about spawns yoo, they should have 50ish+ diff spawn points so when you spawn in you truly have no idea where someone could be, spawn us in dorms rooms, spawn us underneath stronghold...ANYWHERE so people dont just b line to the closest spawn.
Finally someone with common sense 👏, respect mate, keep up the great work
Here’s to hoping the next update is massive and patch 13 will be game changing. Factory expansion and some new weapons, attachments, ammo and hopefully some other solid tweaks. I do feel you tho. They’re talking a lot of game for patch 13. So let’s hope it’s all
True.
Krashed and Bubbles are a great pairing
"That's what she said" KEKW
Big old positive comment for Kevin from the internet!!
The best indication that the game is to easy ( money and hideout wise, maybe not now that the hideout prices went up and Bitcoin was nerfed but let’s face it that came too late into the wipe, I think they’re trying it out for the wipe with 12.11) is that I am one quest from kappa.
I’ve only played this wipe and the last one really. I’m decent and do get a lot of time to play but there’s no way I should be where I’m at. I have watched videos for years so it helps that I knew what items to keep for later task, for example I’ve had my Kappa items since two weeks in the wipe. So I’m not saying it should take me the entire wipe But the only reason it’s taken me this long is because I’ve gotten stuck on certain task that involve killing people in specific situations like shooter born in heaven and shooter part 8. But I wasn’t stuck on those because my aim, I was stuck on those because everybody I ran into was a chad that would just eat every bullet I shot
When instead I feel like the things you should be stuck on is the quest that require farming and money. There’s no reason the quest that require a lot of money and farming I should blow right through but then I get stuck on the sniper quest because I’m hitting people in the face but they have class 6 and eat it, or they spray me down from 100m with an m4 or even worse I need to kill 3 in a single raid but people loot and scoot so I go 20 raids running around never seeing or hearing shit
I’ve had Bitcoin since 3 weeks into the wipe. That’s ridiculous!
Well put Kevin.
I loved Tarkov, first game I ever got 1000+ hours in. However I just have no more motivation to play. From bad network issues to them just wanting to make the game's mechanics more and more convoluted, it's just killed my motivation. I was set this wipe to max my traders for the first time, just 4 levels away from 40 to finish it off with Mechanic and Ragman, and I just....I just don't care anymore. Right now moved onto Hunt Showdown which I have been having alot of fun playing.
Positive comment for Kevin from the internet.
Perfect, as always
you're right people don't have their own opinions lol
Funniest raid ever, you two are an absolute riot 🤣
I has been thinking about current situation in tarkov and money isn't problem, but availability of items is. Excess cash is only a solution for RMT and reduces amount of cheaters, by not creating as big demand for rubles. And my soliton that can't be easily exploited by cheaters i think is reducing supply of good guns, armor and ammunition. Im aware that nikita don't want to remove flea market, but maybe partial removal and by that i mean not being able to sell ammo, guns, attachments and armor. All trade goods like food, hideout items etc. could be there without huge impact on game. Traders should sell you only basic stuff like pistols, bolt actions, saigas stuff like that. If you can't but HKs, Vectors etc. you will have to play with different types of guns. Make them specific drops of bosses or marked rooms etc. With that already ttk is much lower and add to that shortage of ammo you should pack what you can not whats is best ammo of that caliber. And having class 3 armor as best you can buy would make more ammunition viable and not having best ammo all the time makes class 2 and 3 usefull. And I would love more scavs at start of raid to force players to have ammo and armor not hunter with 11 rounds of m61 and backpack. Speaking of huntards for love of god surround killa with scavs
WATCHING!
Ladies n gentlemen, we found him, we found the last real one left. Thank you for speaking up about this bullshit. The raid series, in game crocs, more geneburn songs, etc....
“Always, pop a pain”
great video man
It is my first wipe, i really like the game and bought EoD oneday. But now I am around mid- to end-game with my pmc and it gets quite tedious and is still frustrating. I have much more fun in scav rounds and fighting other player scavs with random stuff than run with my okeyish geared pmc to the pvp hotspots, die to thicc dudes with better ammo, twenty grenades and high rpm or to rat around the map to do grindy quest instead. So I "marie-kondo-ed" my stash, sold everything but one money case. Now my pmc gets scaved shit and stuff I only buy for the run. Also I will play more hunt showdown again, which is more fun to me - not as complex or deep as eft but somehow just more fun and a nice pvp experience.
BTW. Thanks Kevin from the Internet for your helpful videos and for triggering this kind of discussions
I agree, nowadays is just running on map seeking some PvP and hopefully not meet new players... Stale. I would like to see wipe without traders selling any attachments/top ammunitiom/4 level armor max. No flea market aswell :)
I tried joining discord, but the link takes me to the discord home page - I do have some Internet problems ATM, so it might be on my side, but maybe it's worth checking if the invitation link expired.
Worked from the twitter page link!
Wish I played back then
Dude I hope we can play tarkov without always shooting on sight, cuz Im here trying to do quests.
This is my first Wipe, iam close to lvl40 and iam having a blast.
I sit on 40 mil and i can try every Equipment i want which is realy cool.
On the other side i still use the Beta container and most of the Quest are super anyoing.
And when i played this Game for 1000+ like other People i maybe would be bored two.
I also dont like the Skill System which give way to much advantages and takes forever to level if you dont abuse some tactics.
And i can understand when the Meta or PvP feels not good.
Iam not realy hard into PvP yet, because iam still learning and enjoy Scav Runs or Stash Runs.
I think the Game will never please everyone, but its easy to improve so many basic things to make the Game better overall for everyone.
Holy shit is Krashed actually speaking out against TARKOV instead of just being another ass-kissing "this game is too easy" generic tarkov streamer #96? Based. Keep up the good work and fuck them haters
Out of all this, I still hate the most Buckshot head shot! Other than that, they need to rent proper servers and fix a tone of bugs. :)
One thing I've noticed is that as I watch people play a game, they usually release a video saying they're still enjoying the game around when I'm still watching but mostly not paying attention through the vids anymore. Then maybe 6 months later when the videos have dried up some I'll find out they're sick of playing and I'm like, "Yeah figured you would be, I would." Seems to always be the case, maybe you could see if that's the case for you and learn from it somehow, I dunno.
You're a cool dude, don't fuck yourself on this game.
Some form of painkiller, grizzly, and CMS. That's it for meds. All you need. Grizzly is the fastest pure heal in the game with animation cancelling. If you need bleed or fracture fix, you let the animation run all the way through.
Yeah I agree with most of what he says but the meds thing I don't. It's a game that's meant to strive for realism; of course there'll be a variety of injuries. Just take a Salewa, Painkillers and Hemo in the rig and IFAK/splint/Surv12 in secure container
@@cianmcswiney2505 I think you missed my point. You just spent 9 slots when you can cover all the same things with 7 slots by using a grizzly, CMS, and a painkiller. At the same time, grizzly will heal far more HP, light/heavy bleeds, and fractures than using the individual component meds. And they do it at a lower overall cost (although I am generally risking losing the grizzly because I keep it in my rig). Grizzly is only about $25k as a trader barter, though, so it's also less expensive than the individual components which do the same things that a grizzly does.
@@allanwebb2985 maybe I am missing your point, my point was that the healing is actually in a decent place right now. The Grizzly is ofc the most efficient like you mentioned but I find the zipper sound can be a detriment in close quarters
@@cianmcswiney2505 I brought it up originally because Kevin mentioned forgetting one of the meds and it kind of screwed him. If you use a grizzly, you don't have that problem, since it's covering effectively unlimited HP, light bleed, heavy bleed, and fractures. You only have to remember to take in three total meds (grizzly, CMS or SurvKit, and painkiller). That's it. Easy. And if I don't die, the 1800 total HP in a grizzly lasts me for several raids before getting low enough that I replace it with a fresh one. The flexibility is completely worth the four slots (although it does mean that I constrain myself to rigs with at least one four-square slot so I can hotkey it).
Bro what is with these ads. Every 3 or 4 minutes I get double unskippable ads. Makes viewing hard
Sorry about that, youtube puts them in automatically. It depends on the length of the video. This video is a lot longer than my usual uploads so there will be more ads
@@Krashed no problem man didn't think you would reply. It was more of a vent of frustration as I watched a 30 second ad lol. Keep up the good content
@@toxic1628 Thank you for watching, it means a lot!!
I feel the same, i cant motivate myself to go into raids, its just pointless. For me, money is the only "endgame" and it was given out for free this wipe. Iam so bored, and i fear that i might loose my interest in the game because of a lack of progression and content...
I'm commenting because I'm a super cool guy just like Kevin from the internet
I understand your opinion and actually agree, but this game isn't finished. One can think the devs are wrong in their priorities, but the state of the game in each wipe can and will be fucked many times. The guns we see everyday like the M4, HK and other military grade equipment is supposed to be extremely rare/expensive and are so available rn so people can test and play them until the real, final product in-game economy exists. Sadly enough, you're doing exactly what people should do, play the game as much as you can enjoy at that exact time. And hope they end up delivering the things they have plan cause man, they are awesome but sooo ambicious
I have 1000 hours in the game and I rarely touch it now, maybe once or twice a month on average.
Hey Kevin, are there any other games you plan on uploading videos of if you feel like tarkov isn't as fun as you'd like?
Dude i agree to many of the points here! I have no idea wtf this whole esports thing is and i dont give a shit about it. youre on your own with the hemostats though, i thinks it adds to the immersion and distressing nature of the game.
i should come by the stream soon again.
F*ck the algorithm, this one is for Kev himself!
Kevin I personally love u , don’t change
