      its because the game is an RPG rather than just a shooter so you're expected to get better at skills through use, leveling and getting better attachments. good in theory but just not implemented well. so many people see it as just a hard shooter and forget its closer to an MMO-RPG grind than other shooters out there. but the complaint is the same, the recoil sucked hard and didn't make sense lore wise, as you said with the whole trained PMC idea. this is the first wipe where ive hit flea and level 2 traders in 3 days flat where before it took me weeks. i finally feel like i can actually fight and win.

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

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

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

You need to lvl up the traders only for better prices, 5+ armor plates and some limited things like RPD, Spear, KS-23, AXMC. Now skill is more important than raw price of equipment on a PMC.

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

    I was once in a similar situation with tarkov. I didn’t have the patience to grind to be better for several wipes. I still adored the game, but it was a love hate. I wanted to be good at it so bad but I couldn’t get over that hump. I finally sat down one wipe and just told myself to play and finally got better. Racked up 1000hrs since 2021. So glad I did that because no game gives me the same feeling as tarkov. The new additions of this wipe only solidify that live for this game more. I’m excited to see what BSG does next.

    @yoxyox6434 5 місяців тому

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

    Early wipe is fun times. There is always someone below you in the food chain and you can get into many fights and win. Also with the new recoil the fights are much less RNG.

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