SPT is a moddable singleplayer or cooperative version of EFT that BSG despises.

anyone else obsessed with doing weapon box runs
I know it's more efficient to loot high value item spawns but for me sticking my ass to the interchang underground or wherever else and just digging through crate after crate is so exciting. it's like gambling but you can only win (even if it's just a few cents a win). I cannot wait to have like 30 new guns and a gorillion new mods to find in 1.0

>>546240861
it's not surprising, we still don't even have that much concrete info on what's in 1.0 other than Terminal, a storyline and in-raid traders. we can guess about some of the content like all the gear we've seen over the years WIP or features that got blotted off earlier roadmaps, but until we get the gameplay trailer (I'm guessing either in a few hours from now or tomorrow), we don't have much to discuss

>>546241056
Genuinely surprised the Tac-Sac™ is not in the game. They should unironically make it marginally better than the current META SE-5 (I'm talking literally something like 0.5 more ergo) to bait every metasweat into willingly fondling balls because it makes their gun better.

The Great Satan is streaming with niggita tomorrow
>>546241365
don't need to meme them into running ugly shit, I'd rather they just rebalance gear so people are ore likely to actually run stuff you'd see REAL opr8ors using IRL like G$/BCM handguards and PMAGs and Sureshot AKs instead of spamming out 1x2 60 round drums of M995 through a gun kitted with the finest Strike Industries and FAB slop

I won't be able to finish Duckov before 1.0 drops

can someone explain how pvp works in this game
>see dude
>me dead within like 100ms

>>546243539
shit netcode plus killcams in videogames are not 1:1 accurate representations of what happened.

>>546243637
>killcams
fair point
>shit netcode
how do i use it to my advantage? even if i peek first it seems like i'm still at a disadvantage
my reaction time is alright

>>546243779
>even if i peek first it seems like i'm still at a disadvantage
You aren't, peekers advantage is ridiculously busted in this game. You probably just need to swing people more often, get better at prefiring. You'll often kill people before you even show up on their screen (this is a skill based competitive game according to some people btw)

>cool armband
>gotta paypig to get it
Fuck off.

>>546244071
aight guess i'll continue getting guder, my swings do sucks quite a bit i imagine

flattening my balls by grinding the arena pass a bit and it's fucking bonkers how untouchable a decent player can be, you'll never even see him on your screen

seems highly unlikely without a bunch of friends, i'm getting stomped by at least a duo 66% of the time

>>546248051
It's only 3 wins, it's not as hard as you think.

>>546248051
The game wipes in 3 days, what's even the point of doing this now?

>>546248109
not too bad but it'll take me more than one milly for sure
>>546248449
yeah it doesn't matter right now

>season 0 cosmetics finally work in PVE
Took them long enough, didn't expect them to fix this before 1.0.

>>546253213
What are the odds Nigita adds PvE to the base edition at no additional cost?

>>546254251
lol
lmao even

>Cultists spawn three raids in a row
Pretty strange. Did the rates get buffed?

Am I correct in assuming that Arena will also be updated with all the new 1.0 shaite or does that come at a later date?

People still play this shit?

xDDDD LMFAO

>>546281616
Arena has, until recently, wiped along with the base game. I almost certain that it'll go back to a normal ruleset and wipe with 1.0.

>>546282112
I meant if Arena will also be receiving new content with 1.0. New guns, clothing, gear, attachments, shit like that.
I know that in the past Arena was at times behind the base game so I'm not entirely confident they'll be able to link up the base game one for one with Arena from the start.

Why does every thread about Tarkov keeps getting archived before a week passes?

>>546283468
Oh, yea, probably. I don't see why they wouldn't keep it updated. I do wonder if they'll start charging for the battle pass. I think they were going to charge for it, but then swapped with this newest update to that new thing that's separate from the pass. I don't mind that, personally.
>>546284054
Because the hardcore wipe utterly demolished the momentum the game had. This thread was too fast for /vm/, but slow for /vg/ for a long time but as the wipe has gone on it's gotten worse. I'm predicting a boom in traffic once 1.0 releases.

>>546284054
Whether we like it or not, the general hype around the game is dead. It's a project that's been mismanaged and the community milked dry, whilst doing little to nothing about the cheater infestation in PvP mode.
Other games like Arena Breakout and Arc Raiders are drawing off the Tarkov audience as well.

>>546284637
ABI likely cannibalized very little of the tarkov playerbase that was playing pvp. It's a chink mobile game. Arc Raiders is probably a temporary thing for a lot of tarkov people, as well. Arc Raiders is a good stopgap until 1.0 with how utterly fucking miserable the hardcore turned softcore wipe has been.

>your 1.0 character is permanent
I hope they will add an option for a second permanent character, I'll likely go BEAR with 1.0, but I wouldn't mind having a secondary permanent USUC.

>>546286579
didn't they say something about seasonal characters a la poe or did that come to me in a dream

>>546289670
I think Nigita said you would have two characters. One would maintain progression while the other would be affected by seasonal wipes or something like that.

>>546241056
because thats all there is. you retard still think that 1.0 is chock-full of features niggerkita withheld from you? retarded cocksuckers, the both of you.

>>546290873
Are you going to livestream your suicide when 1.0 comes out?

>>546291929
are you?

>>546293721
I have no reasons to, I'll be busy enjoying the launch.

>>546293935
>I'll be busy enjoying the same game but with 2 new weapons and a pve cod campaign
well good for you

>>546294938
Beats being busy seething about the game on repeat.

>>546295092
I was just giving you a healthy glass of reality seeing as how you clearly drank the coolaid.
>we still don't even know that much concrete info about what's in 1.0

Meds, NOW.

>>546295591
arent you like 40? bit unbefitting of a 40year old to throw a temper tantrum about who replies to who on an anonymous image board.

>>546295591
You are right, I should be better than this. Mea Culpa.

Guess I should've just been better at the game.

>>546302236
truth. Everyone else make sure to reset your password for the launcher and prestige before the flood

>>546306172
Why would I want to reset my password?

>>546306642
update will reset the launcher and log you out. Most people forget their password and request a new one on wipe day. The email to reset sometimes takes hours from the backlog.

>>546304549
This reminds me, why the fuck does the game spawn you as far back as possible on checkpoint when losing. Like putting me on 180 ping servers and giving me apes for teammates wasn't bad enough

I wish they let you inspect kits of other players in Arena. Every once in a blue moon you run into some based individual with a cool looking kit instead of LE META, but you rarely have a chance to get a good look at it because bodies despawn so quickly.

>>546241567
You'll have plenty of time before the servers actually work

> 1.0 never
> 1.0 but when
> 1.0 but I won’t play it
> 1.0 but I won’t play it because the servers won’t work

How many more steps until the crybabies come back in full force?

>>546315431
They'll just keep crying that 1.0 is shit.

what a retarded post, anon was merely pointing out that releases usually have server issues and queues on day 1

If I don't unlock any of the GP coin/lega medal tiers in the niggerpass, will I be able to accept them all after the wipe and have hundreds of GP coins instantly?

>>546319480
Probably, unless they wipe BP coins too, but do you really want to live life as a lame minmaxing nigger?

>>546319618
Wasn't gonna unlock them until I was done with the things I wanted anyway 3bh

>do you really want to save time in a game that already sucks up tremendous amounts of your time for absolutely no reason with its downtime and queue times and regear times etc
no, grandpa, we want to waste our lifes like you.

Has BSG said what the release time for Tarkov will be?

>>546321417
not yet

>>546321489
Would be cool if it was 12am in St Petersburg.
That would mean the servers would be up for a couple hours by the time I got off work, so maybe servers would settle down.

>>546321649
I hope they'll do the sensible thing and take the game offline one day earlier to get everything updated in peace so they can start the servers on the 15th without any hiccups, but considering it's BSG they'll probably do it the same way they usually do it and still fuck it up somehow.

Notable things that i remember from the interview

>They are paying attention to everybody complaining about the earbuds and are going to be making changes

>They've actually improved performance of streets, but didnt say whether it applies to the whole game or just that map

>They're still going to be releasing regular updates for years including a graphics update tentatively scheduled for 2026

>Killcam still being considered. Mentioned something about it being from a drone pov

>He wants to do a console release as well

>Nikita's having an existential crisis of sorts; reflecting upon how old he's grown and that he spent the prime years of his life making this game

>>546321776
They are doing that. Game goes offline on the 14th according to Nikita on the pestily interview

Hideout kot is still coming in case anybody was wondering

>>546324280
>console release
Impossible to make Tarkov work acceptably on a controller

>Spawn in Cuntsoms, next to the trains on big red side
>Goons aggro on me from across the river ~15 seconds in as I was checking for snipers, blacking my right arm instantly
>Die because Knight just kept laserbeaming my chest until my plate broke
Back to Labs I go, to start Guide once more.
You guys think 1.0 will 'sanity check' PMC spawns so they aren't immediately under attack from bosses?
Me? Of course not. Niggita is too busy adding mallninja bullshit and making the game run worse.

>>546328005
I play on controller. Still use M&K for some inventory stuff though. Fucks me up every time they reset the keybinds though, it takes me like 60-90 mins to fix everything between steam input and tarkov.

>>546329403
>I play on controller.

>>546329805
I just prefer it for some reason. Ever since back in the day with Goldeneye. Once they put a trigger on a controller I was sold. Went from Doom/Quake -> Goldeneye/Perfect Dark

Reminder to screenshot all your settings and keybinds, pretty sure they figured out how to not fuck them up but you can never be too careful

Nikita has basically confirmed that version 1.0 will be boring as fuck during the interview with Pestily, as they have focused all their attention into the implementation of the storymode quests and cutscenes that no one cares about.

They could have focused on gameplay improvements, like reviewing the price and availability of items from Traders so we have a more logical gear progression (why the fuck is 5.45 PS ammo still locked behind Prapor 3?), but instead we will get some janky Traders sitting inside raids and narrating some AI slop to us.

I think I'm going to play 1.0 on PvE
I just can't be bothered anymore

any summary of the pestily niggkita interview?

>>546330943
wow who could have seen this coming
only every single person that ever played tarkov for mroe than 100h

>>546331065
Posted a partial summary above. Was frustrating to watch because he was being mush-mouthed and wishy-washy as usual. Seemed slightly annoyed and confused about things as well (also as usual). Didn't help that a lot of the questions were boring.

>>546330943
>1.0 is focusing on 1.0 stuff
wtf niggita, I just want the same quests I've been doing for the last 7 years with slightly better progression

>>546332347
pestily is a stupid oldfuck and shill
he clearly doesnt even really carea bout the game anymore, just leverages his position. why should he be the interviewer? they should have gotten some new guy

>>546331065
Burnt Peanut is getting a streamer item in game and Nikita wants everybody to suffer

>>546333772
Those are precisely the reasons why Fat Nicky agreed to the interview in the first place. Do you really think he'd give an English interview with someone who might push him on anything?

What happened to that eftg discord server?

>>546338462
There never was one. It was literally a transsexual grooming discord, I am not exaggerating or memeing

>>546338898
I remember joining it for a bit but it was too weird, there was this one mtf tranny who would piss himself and a bunch of literal gay mods

>>546338462
The one where everybody had stopped playing tarkov? Not sure. I left it when I was clearing out my sidebar earlier this year

>>546339595
yeah

>"Where do I see the game in five years? Right where it is now," Buyanov says.
okay cya i guess

>>546340114
In retrospect, I should've stayed. They were chill dudes and the Latvian had a goofy accent. Just had decided that I preferred playing solo at the time and didn't think I'd be using it anymore.

Do I gamble on BSG forgetting to wipe our active long duration flea market offers like they forgot to do it in previous wipes?

If they forget it again, I would be able to "mail myself" some THICC item cases from the current wipe to 1.0 to make up for the fact that I play with Standard edition because I refuse to be a paypig for Nikita, but then I'm afraid that this would severely screw up my flea market reputation for 1.0 because we lose rep whenever one of our flea market offers fail to sell and return to us.

I guess I could technically make up for the loss of reputation by just buying and reselling expensive items like keycards to quickly boost my negative reputation back to positive.

>>546344682
Sounds pretty risky to me but they always make the same mistakes so...

>>546346259

There's really no risk because I only lose flea market rep if they forget to wipe everything, and in that case I would have a bunch of THICC item cases at the start of the wipe which is huge for someone who plays with a Standard edition with a tiny stash that fills up completely in a single raid.

I'm just not sure how much I would hate only having one slot to sell my items in the flea market because of the very negative flea reputation that I would have until I can finally bring it back up again, which will take time.

>>546302108

Haven't booted up tarkov yet, going to do more RAM optimization tomorrow to make sure I'm getting the most out of the 32gb that I've got. I hope you get your CPU soon fren, really hoping these things will help us out with the scope stuttering.

>>546340625
>>546338462
>>546338898
I haven't played with a squad in years, I spent the last two weeks playing solo after not playing for more a year. Not really a problem due to my avoidant playstyle, but I miss sniping people from the apts in streets with the disc group.

>3 mil vets
>1 drunken slav

Good times.

>>546349282
I hate getting rolled up on by squads, but I hate playing in them too. When a fight starts I usually start repositioning pretty aggressively or doing wide flanks so it gets hard to bring a team along on those snap decisions. Being in a squad just feel like you're constantly in a state of chaos, disorganized and fumbling through the whole raid. Feels really hard to do anything deliberately beyond "lets go to this general POI". I don't want to be the guy that tells people when to run and when to walk but it always feels like I need to be.

The real question is, is it worth installing Tarkov now or will it take just as long to patch either way when the servers are literally on fire

>>546349972
I accepted the fact that I suck at FPS games and that I probably can't compete with sweats, especially starting several months late. So I treat Tarkov like a stealth game.

The rats life is the way.

woodland bros WW@

What is the reason that only apple juice, oat flakes and the two water bottles have 40/40 usability but every other item don't have this feature at all.
I'd guess water bottle and those originate from an old version and BSG never bothered to do anything about them.

>>546357685
yeah mres definetely should have that feature at least
and guess it makes sense that you can't keep opened canned stuff for later use

>>546369434
In the end it doesn't matter because people will still need to use their BSG account and the launcher. You can always add the game to Steam anyway.

>>546237462 (OP)
which version do i buy bros? none of them come with pve from the looks of it

>>546370275
PVE is a separate DLC. If you're not sure you're going to like the game then obviously standard, you can always upgrade later on if you feel like the game is worth your money.

>>546369564
why would you immediately out yourself as a third worlder? milk isnt supposed to be sour when you drink it.

>>546370329
if i buy the standard game without the pcve dlc can i play pve with the bros or do i have to buy pve to play with them?

at least they have regional pricing

>>546372769
Making [REDACTED] say racist things is hilarious but I would snap my fingers to pop the AI bubble in an instant. I also don't really do any video editing other than short game clips. I don't think I use anything CUDA seriously, just dabbling where it wouldn't really make a difference.
I'm just finding it really hard to justify the expense given the uplift is, y'know, there, but it's not revolutionary.

>>546372839
wtf its an actual preload too? everyone was saying it was just gonna be the bsg launcher like how final fantasy 14 does it

>>546372927
Sure thing, Bubba.
>>546372950
Yeah, things suck more or less these days.

>>546371743
>plus another £20 for the PVE mode (which is not bundled at all)
I have buddy who's been bugging me for a year to pick this game up. But at this price I'm just gonna fucking wait lol
If the whole package was like £30-£40 I'd be way more inclined to pick it up on a whim.

>>546373159
Nikita is a genius. Most newcomers don't know that Standard Edition is pretty much useless unless you are a masochist. It may look like a great deal but it isn't.
However, next reasonable upgrade is Prepare to Escape Edition. That's pretty expensive already.
Plus add in PvE and you are looking at over 100 shekels.
Nikita wins here.

>>546372043
Aren't you guys about to overtake the UK for GDP ? You're a first world country now.

Switching my Steam region has only done wonders. I'm a tourist that was going to use my friend's Gamma account because he quit the game but maybe I gor for this instead?

This doesn't have Arena though..

>>546374327
Wait wtf, PvE isn't even in the PFE Edition??

>>546374327
>>546370842
>scam
Wait they really are, they're only giving a beta container too.

>>546374450
no, it's only unsharted edition

>Key resellers sell Tarkov Steam keys for more than Steam's price
What gives?

>>546375124
They are old keys and should not be used. BSG knows if it's from a key site and they have banned accounts in the past.
Not sure how Steam will change this.
Usually cdkeys for example, buys the keys directly from the publisher afaik but not really sure what's the deal with the tarkov keys.

>>546374327

There's a big reason why BSG isn't selling Unheard edition through Steam and only doing through their website.

The "Prepare For Escape" and "Left Behind" editions are almost completely useless so you're basically spending extra money on the game to get absolutely nothing in return.

They will still treat you like a second class player unless you buy the Unheard edition of the game which costs a ridiculous amount even with regional discounts available.

>>546375443
im 99% sure cdkeys/loaded buys their keys from humble bundle and greenman because their prices are always like $3+ above the 12 month humble discount and for games that arent on humble/greenman the games are always more than full price

yay

>>546376354
Things have changed especially after the Steam price re-balancing. I still use cdkeys now and then but don't buy games that often any more.

>>546369378
Nikita has cultivated a customer base of the most buck broken pay pigs ever and he knows it.
People bought EOD and then bitched about Unheard but ended up buying that anyway like the cattle they are.

>>546377807
He has been boiling the frog with help of the streamers.
People who have already invested over 2000 hours don't feel like they want to 'left behind' (lol).

>>546377807

And now they complain that Nikita is making them pay another $40 for the "privilege" of having the game on Steam.

They've been funding Nikita's wardrobe full of Balenciaga shirts for years and act surprised when he continually treats them like literal paypigs. LMAO

>>546336442
you raise a good point
>"Where do I see the game in five years? Right where it is now," Buyanov says.

>>546380869
Do yourself a favour and play SPT. When you strip the player interaction (even when it's bad) all what you have left is a game what consists of
>fetch quests
and
>time gated crafting
Wow.
And if you don't know, you can actually finish the hideout almost completely with the stuff gathered from Ground Zero alone. Almost every trader can be leveled up to max level on GZ too, after unlocking their first missions.
Time-gating and the fact people will waste lot of time when they die online means progress seems slow and game looks more complex than what it is.

fuck man i still can't wrap my head around arena, everyone fucking knows where i am at all times and prefire roundhouse kicks me into space

>>546381536
To add: What I'm still hoping that BSG will DMCA the faggot SPT devs and their website and discord.
Why? Seems like they are really obnoxious.
In the first place, they are actually using bots to datamine BSG live servers... That's one thing.

proceeding about as expected

I just don't get all the steam drama, like if you don't buy on steam you still get to play on the same servers as people who are on steam right? You're buying the game a second time literally just to be able to press play from steam, after the game boots up it's all exactly the same shit. Why is it a hard decision to just not fucking buy it on steam and launch the game the same way you've been launching it for like 10 years.

>>546382273
you mean FFA? i think a lot of people have just memorized spawns by now so there's a general idea of where you are and where you'll be pathing. when i play i just know where to expect people and assume they're there at this point
>>546384228
not only that, it's even worse because steam already has an option for you to add any application to your library as an unofficial game, so if you REALLY want to have it there, you can get the exact same result that way

>>546384228
>>546384395
People like having all their games on one platform, and being able to buy DLC and MTX with Steam funds.

>>546348449

>>546384228
BUT MY STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS
I NEED PEOPLE THAT DONT PLAY TARKOV TO SEE THAT I GOT KAPPA

Any homos here who are telepathic? Tarkov is the only game I don't like to play because I can sense when I'm being watched and in some cases I get bad gut feeling - eg. someone expects me to enter a room.
Good example of this was GZ bank upstairs. I knew there was someone watching and I decided to circle strafe and he missed his shots.
In other games, seeing by other people is not a problem because there is no emotional energy so to speak.

>>546384523
Sure, I get wanting to be able to use steambux for future DLC. I'd say that's the only valid point I can see in all of this, aside from the naive hope that someone might have that they're entitled to all the important DLC anyway by virtue of owning EoD

Do I need to buy Escape from Tarkov on Steam if I already own it through the Battlestate Games launcher or website?

Answer: Yes. To play Escape from Tarkov through Steam, you must purchase any edition of the game on Steam. You can then link your existing Battlestate Games account with an active copy of the game to your Steam profile. If the editions differ, it will automatically use the higher edition of the two when launching the game through Steam.

>>546387649
>click add non-steam game
>point to bsg launcher
>set tarkov themed anime titty banner and tarkov logo png for good measure
>you can now use steam to launch tarkov
Giving that fat fucking nigger Nikita another 40 of your dollars is stupid. Even if steam directly launches the game that saves you a mere few seconds at most, it's not worth it.

"Tomorrow, November 14, at 11 GMT / 6AM EST we are planning to start the installation of the release patch 1.0 for #EscapefromTarkov. The installation will take approximately 24 hours. There will be a wipe in PVP with update.

In the meantime #TarkovArena will also go down for 24 hours for the installation of update 0.4.0.5. There will be a partial wipe with update."

Does anyone know if partial arena wipe resets W-Tasks + Battlepass coins?

>>546388165
>Does anyone know if partial arena wipe resets W-Tasks + Battlepass coins?
It will likely reset tasks, but I believe it keeps your battlepass tokens. It's never clear what they mean by partial wipe.

Sorry Niggerta I'm burnout on extraction shooters

>>546388165
I dunno, but I spent all my BP coins today just in case they get wiped. Unfortunately I forgot to trade my GP coins and roubles for BP coins so all of that is gonna go to waste.

>>546388454
How did you play that duck shooter? I tried it and it's just a skeleton with badly made graphics.
Even the initial experience wasn't that good, looting and inventory management was somewhat annoying.

We made it to the end.
This is the final day of the beta, let's post 'em one last time before the servers go down.
Hardcore wipe was great, I wish they stuck with it longer.
I will see you guys in 1.0.

>>546389070
>Hardcore wipe was great
Every single person I know who plays tarkov quit the game with the hardcore wipe. Only autists, retards, and streamers played this wipe

>>546388034
Never seen that piece before

for the love of fucking CHRIST let us choose our fucking servers

i'm so tired of being having people land 5 shots on me while still in their sprint animation. it's so fucking bad i've never seen anything like this in gaming

>>546389736
Epakim's tarkov art is top tier
>>546389885
You can though. If you're talking about arena specifically, it's in the menu in game, not in the launcher.

>>546389351

>>546389996
Those are the wrinkliest pants I ever fricking saw!

>>546389885
If you have (you haven't) played SPT, sometimes when you killed a goon you could get the task light up before its death animation. Eg. bullets and animation don't match. Guy is still alive and shooting at you but suddenly he dies.
I think this could happen in the real game too. They are out of sync so badly.
There's no network lag here.

>>546390510
I'm doing the opposite but your brain doesn't have enough wrinkles to figure that out.

got me a couple 1-key keyboards to use as pedals for leaning

>>546391306
Q = lean right
E = lean left
Problem solved. Takes 5 minutes to learn even.

>>546391090
You don't need to deflect, anon. It's okay. We're all friends here.

>>546391503
yeah i know about that one, did it mostly to free up some keys so i don't have to use modifiers as much

>>546391306
>>546391736
There's some sweats that use their mouse buttons for leaning. I could see it working

>>546391879
Yeah but if you use your thumb to click on things all the time you'll get tendonitis. This will take couple of years to accumulate, depending on what you do in real life and what not.
>>546391736
Just play like a normal fellow.
If you want to be competitive you can do couple of AutoHotKey macros. But why bother, shit network and unfair bullets etc will get you still.

>>546392506
i'm as shit as it gets, no desire to be competetive too, just a bit tired of using ctrl for like half the keybinds

>>546392985
Don't use ctrl. The more relaxed your hands are the better it is for you no matter what game it is.
Don't think that because some assisted streamer is telling or showing something. They are getting paid and you are not.
Take care of your hands.

>>546391879
>>546392506
I use rmb on Hideous Destructor, the sights are constantly on screen so no need to aim down them. Works great. Very few things in this game work though

>>546389348
hardcore wipe separated the wheat from the chaff, simple as.

>>546393708
the fuck are you rambling about, ctrl is used for a lot of stuff on default keybinds, what does it have to do with streamers? what does it have to do with hands not being relaxed? it's a button that's in immediate reach

>>546394615
I never use ctrl in Tarkov.
Maybe because my pinky was cut off in a violent accident.

>>546394615
Streamers - like Bungholio and Doctor Pepsi - are marketed face fuckers who are using cheats.
I think it's pretty straight talking.

>64GB of RAM
Am I really going to need that much?

>>546395819
wouldn't know, don't watch any tarkov related content

>>546396193
Anyways, I use ALT for sidestep. Not control like the default.

>>546395984
if you want anywhere near 144 at max, yeah

>>546395984
I feel like that's for non-x3d cpu's and ram usage is resolution dependent based upon my testing. On 1440p w/ dlss I've never come close to filling 32gb even on high textures. Nikita also said that they've improved performance but I seriously doubt that. AM4 x3d will likely be a subpar experience unfortunately; seems the game really wants your cpu to be at ~5ghz.

>>546397753
Oh I've only ever targeted 120 or a smooth scoped 60fps

>>546398163
I have an i7-13700k, am I fucked?

>>546395984
This game is almost a decade old, what are these recommended specs?

>>546398265
You should be fine, I have the same processor, 32GB RAM and a 4070 Super, game ran fine, Streets obviously ran noticeably worse, but I started using Smooth Motion ever since it got added on 40 series cards and haven't complained about performance since.

Are people really contemplating buying the game again on Steam? Won't the Steam version literally just boot up the launcher anyway?

>>546399461
How many times are we going to post this?

>>546398265
Cmon anon. Lets not ruin the surprise

>>546399342

>>546400467
>Nvidia App
>Graphics
>Global settings
>Smooth Motion
>On

>>546400683
After that you also enable it in EFT settings in the Nvidia App btw

>>546400683
You don't find the input lag to be noticeable? Only tried lossless scaling frame gen on tarkov before and it was unplayable

>>546401551
No, I don't find it noticeable at all actually, seems way better than lossless scaling in my opinion.

Doomposters in shambles.

>>546402364
the tears of retards who bought into nikita's lies 10 years into it are going to be delicious, i'll feast on these reviews

Which version should I buy? Does the extra weapons/gear make much of a difference?

>>546403710
>Does the extra weapons/gear make much of a difference?
If you're new not really because you'll lose it very quickly anyway, start with standard, upgrade if you like the game.

>>546403710
unheard of from the site, buy some for your friends as well

>>546402364
How is CS2 counted as a top seller, it's literally free.

>>546404000
It includes ingame purchases.

>>546404000
you gotta pay up if you don't want to play with cheaters

>>546404046
That's retarded.

>>546404220
Except it isn't? It's revenue from the game.

>>546403710
>Does the extra weapons/gear make much of a difference?
Not at all. It's just more shit for you to lose to a rat with a kedr in a corner if you're a Timmy. The real benefits come from expanded secure containers and stash space. Upgrading your stash is a tedious and expensive process in particular.

I hope they'll post the 1.0 trailer tommorow and not wait until TarkovTV...

>>546412758
The wiggle video really mind broke retards who don't play tarkov. Though the funny part is anyone replying to this as if a level 0 account named Cleetus would have any meaningful opinion.

>sale is exclusive to steam
so uhh can I buy the PvE addon through steam and use it with my regular BSG version?

>>546399461
I'm considering grabbing the cheapest one just for the achievements, it's just 15 bucks anyway. Then again I'm not sure if I'm even going to stick around long enough this wipe for it to matter. Story is nice but like, if they haven't fixed any performance and queue times issues (which I'm almost sure they didn't) I don't think I'll be able to tolerate it to get to the endgame. But I'm burned out on arc and not in the mood for poe so like, might as well... will see.

Nah I got a fresh install including FIKA headless server on my second machine in like an hour
Update tarkov
Make new SPT folder
Drop installer in, install
Drop FIKA installer in, install
If you want to do headless, copy the game install to a new folder or machine, use the FIKA installer again to install headless
Boom, done
The only real time sink is tweaking and customizing mods but for the most part you can just unzip and drop mods in, and there are better tools now as well for that
I used to spend a whole day or night on an SPT install, this shit is so easy now

>>546389070
We have very differing playstyles.

>>546427427
It would've been boring if we were all the same.

>>546382527
Imagine giving a shit about something that doesn't impact you in any way

Chances the $50 EOD to Unheard upgrade increases after release? Also is the toolbox a limited time thing or do you think I can wait until after release to fuck with it?

>>546388614
Did we play the same game? Duckov has insanely nice quality of life features practically across the board. How is "looting annoying" when it's almost cookie cutter copying tarkov? Click container, items take a second to search, you put them in your inventory. Also it runs great and looks fine? "Badly made graphics?" compared to what, tarkov?

>>546391879
I use mouse wheel nudges left/right with peek toggle and lemme tell ya, I'll never go back. I literally ordered a Logitech g600 from Japan because they stopped making them in the states and it's the only mouse with full side buttons AND mouse wheel nudge. The nudge absolutely rules because you can strafe and peek simultaneously, which you can't cleanly do with Q/E A/D

>>546435052
I've been tempted to try to adjust my leaning keybinds for a while, but years of Siege and 1500 hours in tarkov/arena has gotten me so used to leaning that I'm really reluctant to change anything.

If I buy steam version now and link to BSG account, can I play the game early through the normal BSG launcher?

>>546436275
One thing will never not bug me with the default keybinds
>Lean is Q and E
>Strafe is A and D
>Smooth lean is alt-A and alt-D
>Sidestep is alt-Q and alt-E
Why the fuck are the secondary lean/strafe controls reversed? I always swap them so both leans are Q/E and strafe/sidestep is A/D. Just one of those little "how did this make sense" details like so many others in this game. Is there only one QA guy at BSG?

>steam forums are mostly just bitching about cheating and telling everyone they're going to be killed by cheaters constantly
I was expecting it but it's still funny.
>>546438494
>Smooth lean is alt-A and alt-D
I swapped this to alt-Q/E and put the sidestep shit on some random key combination I will literally never press because it's a useless mechanic that has gotten be killed before. The thing that REALLY annoys me is that I can't rebind smooth zoom to the mouse wheel due to the next/back bind for menus like the BTR and the walking speed.
I wouldn't be surprised if their QA was very short staffed.

>>546438759
Quickstep is hilarious, it's literally the mechanic from Goldeneye for n64 and I can't think of another game that has implemented it similarly. It's literally the Goldeneye sidestep lol

>>546438494
as someone who has always used ctrl for crouch and Lalt for prone, having anything more than one lean type bound at a time is next to impossible. not enough keyboard real estate. need a fuckin MMO mouse.

>>546439371
I... But .. I DO have an MMO mouse ...

>>546442041
i am but a lowly 4 button mouse peasant

Think the Steam release time is accurate?

>>546395984
No, 16gb is enough for the smaller maps and only Streets + Lighthouse + nu-Customs really get anywhere close to 32gb usage
that's literally just because there's a memory leak currently

>>546427869
>>546389070
I dig the drip

It's been a ride boys, the beta might have been the most fun I've ever had in video games. A bit disappointed in my stats for the hardcore wipe, I try to stay above a 1.0 pmc k/d...although I certainly died more than 10 times to non-pmc sources.

My entire strat for lvls1-30 was completely fucking botched because of the hardcore wipe. I usually have incredibly cheap but effective kits that I source from traders early on but the inflated prices absolutely fucked me when combined with the low sell prices. Then the lack of flea meant I couldn't get my usual barter items. I would have loved running endless MP5s and M870s in the first two weeks but the price of everything from PK was grossly inflated. Couple that with the lack of being able to keep vaseline in my butt (my one metaslop habit, sue me, I'm on that shit 24/7), and it really threw my mojo off.

>>546446719

>>546457872
Oh it will, they will cry hard. The discussion forum will be on fire. We know what to expect and to just let it go, having been through it all before, but it's all going to be new to them. Then they're going to cry because the servers are on fire once they do open. Then they're going to cry because the game's buggy bullshit that runs like crap on their 1060. Then they're going to cry because it doesn't tell them how the fuck to extract from maps (which is a legitimate complaint, one that I don't expect them to address at all. It's ridiculous that you NEED a wiki open to even know where the exits are at all, there's NOTHING in the game to tell you). Then they're going to cry because they lost all their starter gear to 5000 hour sweatlords. Then they're going to cry because they can't get the hard drive from Ground Zero. Then they're going to cry because blah blah blah blah blah blah blah etc ad infinitum, they're going to cry nonstop

>>546457872
it usually does and that's without all the steambabs jumping onboard. servers are literally going to fucking explode when it goes live.

You're still jerking off to children, bud.

>>546458128
This, the timmy seethe is going to be so fucking crazy. I'm gonna be very entertained. Shall we place bets on the steam reviews after the first 2 weeks? I'd wager "negative" kek, timmies will get killed by someone who has 5000hrs on woods and cry hacker.

>>546459556
>if it wasn't real heckin Linus wouldn't have commented on it
impressive levels of critical thinking on display here

>>546460220
it did(not as much as it should have admittedly) and PvE is just a getaway for shitters who got shafted and then saw the wiggle video and were like "ZOMG I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG, ALL MY DEATHS ARE FROM CHEETOS"

mailing me the whole character inventory at the moment of death to a cheater would've solved the issue

>>546460708
Meh. Truth is that pvp will be a disaster for a solo noob at this point. I dont fault any of them for going pve first.

Aside from that, I wonder what the ratio of solos to groups will be this wipe. Guessing more groups than usual which is lame but we'll see how it goes.

>It's a "Sanitar didn't drop his key" episode
So tired of reruns, bros.

>>546461665
>pvp will be a disaster for a solo noob at this point
always has been. it takes a true autist to suffer through all the shit you have to learn to git gud. doesn't make PvE any more redeemable tho. i've played it and it was just scavs dressed and kitted like PMCs that still do all the retarded shit scavs do. had a grenade whipped 90 degrees into the air that landed directly at my feet over a wall as i was moving- probably the most memorable experience.

>>546462280
and most dissapointingly they have so few loot presets looting actual scavs is more fun than pmcs

bros I just died to tagilla...

>>546462958
many such cases

Any scavbros in chat?

>>546463332
no but i will be tomorrow

Name ONE (1) new feature 1.0 will have that isn't a quest, a map, or a gun, because none of those will fix the game or make it more fun

>>546464065
lots of clueless retards to shoot at

>>546464065
GUN CAMOS but for real tho, we don't know half the shit they'll be adding and even then, most of it won't be mentioned in the patch notes

>>546457673
So the patch is starting in a few hours and tark/arena will be down for a whole fucking day?!

>>546464839
Yep. Play Duckov in the meantime (I am not kidding)

>>546464065
Lock picking. Trust the plan bros 2 more weeks until lock picking is added

>>546464065
you continuing to seethe like a buck broken bitch is going to be really fun, so there's that

Unironically considering buying it on cheaper regions because it will end up being cheaper overall with future DLC prices (I guess)

>don't even own the game yet
>will still be getting the forged in beta arm band

>>546464065
more skillslop, and thats a good thing

Tarkov will be fully open world in 1.0.

>>546466945
yup. that's the real secret they're keeping from us.

>>546466945
>>546467016
I'm curious to see what they ARE keeping secret from us, they love doing random shit like that eg. with airdrops and seasons.
M50 gas mask on the Black Division guy on the marketing makes me think radiation/toxicity might finally be implemented in late game areas. Would be neat if stuff like Labs, Reserve and Labyrinth loot got buffed back up in exchange for areas becoming inherently hazardous

>>546467280
There should absolutely be hazardous death zones that you need to commit serious resources to.

I'm not paying for a fucking subscription on Twitch

This game needs more gunslop. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to put a 32x zoom scope and a muffler and a retard grip on my shotgun

>>546467280
Why would Reserve have radioactive/toxic (rather, more toxic than any other Russian military base or bunker) areas?
Now, Factory, however... The basement down there is probably covered in supercancer.

>>546467436
dragon dildo underbarrels too.

>>546467436
Why can't I slap a 2x/3x on the revolvers yet?

>>546459221
>Can you play the mod with friends?
Yes, it's called Fika. Congrats at wasting your money.

>>546467871
Pistol scopes are not the same as rifle scopes. Rifle scopes are made to have ~2" of eye relief, and if you were to put it on a revolver it would be unusable unless you held the thing worryingly close to your face.
Pistol scopes have enough eye relief to be used at arm's length but conversely aren't usable on a rifle. The view would be a blurry mess if anything was visible at all.
Now why hasn't Niggita added a pistol scope to the game? He's too busy finding new ways to cheap out on servers and make the game run like shit.

>>546468314
Works on call of duty.

the bigger question is when are we getting nvd rework

>>546469076
Never ever
Even though SPT has done it better for literally years

>>546459221
Dude, you can play with friends, in VR, with optimized graphics, better AI, and every gun you wished was in the game
BSGfags will tell you Nikita deserves 30 bucks for none of that

>>546471163
The nigkita interview said they changed their minds on the earbuds and they're rebalancing them and adding them to the normal traders.

>>546469076
Yeah, PVS-14's in Tarkov are much worse than reality. The only NVG's that are bearable are the GPNVG's, but those aren't something you can viably take all the time until late wipe.

>>546471646

you've literally never played or even looked at SPT, 2 years later shit looks better than vanilla could ever even possibly imagine you mouthbreathing ruski fuck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVpt0e6tNYE&t=375s

>>546474650
i was on board until i saw the vid you attached

>>546474737
yeah landmark is gigantic faggot but he's one of the biggest streamers for the game and has an item in the game and he's literally going "TARKOV CAN LOOK LIKE THIS?!?!?!"
i'm refuting some mouthbreathing ruski faggot, landmark sucks, pestily sucks, peanut sucks, stankrat sucks, juiceman JUST WANTS TO FEED HIS FUCKING FAMILY and that makes him the most earnest wholesome streamer you fucking also mouthbreathing ruski faggot that won't acknowledge that SPT > PvE in every possible way if you don't have actually technologically incompetent friends

the irony is peanut is not particularly good at this game, will turn his gamma up to infinity, and still gets more views than anyone else earnestly playing the game, other than juiceman who earnestly is just trying to feed his family

imagine following tarkov streaming scene

>>546475226
apologize to juiceman, the rest can fuck off
dude dies with dignity

also according to the actual playerbase, nikita made changes to the game cause pestily got shot with a mosin, so THE ENTIRE FUCKING PLAYERBASE HAS TO FOLLOW THE TARKOV STREAMING SCENE APPARENTLY FUCKMOUTH RUSKI RETARDBRAIN

calm down level 3 subscriber he's not gonna send you a bottled fart if you simp enough

Why does tarkov streamers keep looking at a second screen when ingame? Tarkov is the only game where thats a thing

Why doesn't tarkov give you the option to put a tnt collar on someone you downed and then revive them and turn them into a slave

>>546475538
It makes sense that Nikita would listen to streamers, though, due to their large following. It's supposed to make for good PR. Take the mosin example:
>Pestily gets killed by a mosin
>"WTF fix this!"
>BSG makes a change to player health
>"Hey everyone they fixed the game BSG is doing a good job!"

>>546475627
screen 1: game
screen 2: chat/etc.

>Tarkov is the only game where thats a thing
cite sources cause that's insanely inaccurate

i'm sorry lvndmark said SPT looks better than vanilla, will you no-stats-posting-faggots forgive me?

>>546476335
pestily has less charisma than landmark and that's like, such a race to the bottom it's hilarious

i only watch chilmelphary

any niggers wanna give me the qrd on tarkov now? havent played since they released reserve and about to reinstall it again?
Just the high level shit like new maps or whatever? Did they finally release the airport map?

>>546477230
it's exactly the same game, nothing has changed
terminal map is coming supposedly yeah

>>546477230
they fixed recoil such that you don't have to full auto just to hit shit anymore, but that was like... 2 years ago at this point?

>>546477230
Terminal should be in the update as the final level for beating the game.
>havent played since they released reserve
Sounds like patch 0.12.0. lots of new stuff and changes since then.
>They've changed and adjusted audio several times
>Added more stash space for everyone

>>546478839
>They've changed and adjusted audio several times
and it's still shit with broken verticality waow!

nigita really giving out eod codes on twitter..

>>546463332
total player scav death, the niggers of tarkov deserve the curb

>>546478839
exactly the post i wanted, thans anon

51 minutes until the servers go down. They said the patch notes (whatever patch notes they're actually willing to give us) will go up in the downtime, but who knows when that means.

I'm gonna miss this lil' orange nigga like you wouldn't believe, bros...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKh9HaTEUfk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKh9HaTEUfk

>>546480750
soon
>Attention! This is a Broken version of Escape from Tarkov.
>This Broken version does not represent the advertised product. Thank you for your money. Fuck you!

Finally here, feels weird.

So they're not doing the Tarkov TV until the game is out? Shit. Thought they'd do it during downtime.

>>546481540
They must be all hands on deck during the downtime to make sure this shit works. It won't, of course, but still.

>>546481540
servers will probably still be down when they start

It's officially down.
It has been an honor, betabros...

People are trying to exploit by creating long duration flea market offers while hoping that BSG will forget to wipe them, just like it happened at the launch of the hardcore wipe.

This allows them to transfer bitcoins, lab keycards, marked keys and almost any items from the last wipe into 1.0.

Like a good snitch I have tagged Nikita on Twitter to make him aware of this. You can thank me later.

>>546481540
They usually time it so the game goes up by the time the stream ends iirc, but this downtime started at about 2pm Petersburg time so who knows, it's gonna go up Saturday lunchtime if no extensions, don't think anyone but bsg knows their schedule atm. I'd wait for official posts. Maybe niggita just comes at the office tomorrow morning and starts the stream while his slaves are gonna work all night. Who knows.

>>546485476
I thought they limited most rare items to 1-5 max per pack?

is there any benefit to buy the steam version when i already have eod?

>>546485760
Being able to buy stuff with Steam funds in the future instead of going through dogshit xsolla. Should also be cheaper through Steam.

>>546485760
No, unless you think Steam Achievements and padding your profile is worth 35€ (15€ if you're in CIS country).

>>546485564

Not sure about any limitations in the past, but we were under "softcore" rules which allowed players to list almost anything on the flea market with little to no restrictions.

If BSG shits the bed again and forgets to wipe all the flea market offers again, some players will have a fortune waiting for them on the next wipe.

I truly hate how awful this game is for something like that to be even possible.

I wonder how many of these tweaks will be obsolete after release. T
Process Lasso shit, the paging file being on a seperate ssd drive, etc. Basically nigger rigged my system just for this fucking game and would very much like to deniggerfy it as much as possible

>>546487140
The only tweak you need is an X3D processor. Makes a universe of difference.

>>546487364
Yeah I've been double checking my curve offset w/ cinebench runs for the past 5 hours. Wasted a bunch of time because I forgot to set to real time priority.

guess it's time to ponder on the most retarded nickname imaginable i'm going to make
something about being mean to steam players while wearing an alpha armband might be funny

>>546487794
"icollectsteamuserdogtags"?

>>546488384
not funny or mean enough, maybe something along the lines of "refundwhileucansteamie"

for the connoisseur of multi-layered puns, this includes the implication you're piling their bodies up, that they're steaming piles of shit, and they're steaming with rage, but no one will get it so I guess just do something like "BackToStashSteamie" or something

>>546489724
uhhhhhhhhhhhh anon...

Boat scene.

>>546489694
OH NO
NOT ME

Looks like two bad ending cutscenes at the end. One betrayed on the boat port and the other being killed by those black division dudes at terminal.

>>546489716
played hla just a while ago, the glowniggie plotline is cinema beyond comprehension

the doomposters were right
no fixes, no changes, just a cod campaign

Niggita's music is pretty good as always. I didn't see much new shit in terms of weapons and equipment but I think there were locations and animations that haven't been teased in there. I expected more to be shown but whatever, we'll see what's in the game tomorrow.

>SureFire RC2 in 7.62

I hope this scope is good for 500+m sniping.

visibility still non existant
QoL? nowhere to be found

yup nvds are still shit

>>546490523
Oh, and that in-game music player thing is cool as fuck. I hope other people can hear it all muffled when you use it so you're constantly beaconing yourself while at the same time being deaf.

I wonder if it'll just feel like another wipe with meh additions or a proper polished game.

>>546493365
lmao even

>>546493365
Polished ABSOLUTELY not, but I think the inclusion of a story line with proper story stuff in it will help a lot in making it feel like a complete experience.

>>546495096
That's not how weapon painting works, thoughbeit.

>>546495194
I wasn't referring to weapon painting, thoughever
there are a lot of duplicate items in the game that are only different because they're a different default color
you would know this if you ever played the game and the main point was about each caliber getting its own fixed receiver because bsg can't into modular caliber conversions for some reason

Speaking of weapon paints, nowhere to be seen in the trailer.

>>546495947
Part of me wants them just so I can spray paint my M700. But then I remember all the wacky rainbow cancer they have in Arena, and I think the real game might be better off without them in the grand scheme of things. I don't think they're going to pick which camos make it to real Tarkov.

>>546495947
armor skins are there so it must be

>>546496062
>the wacky rainbow cancer
The one upside if they ever add that to the maingame is that from my experience playing Arena it makes the faggots way easier to see.
>>546496091
Eh, armor skins are a thing? I'm guessing new BP shit.

This RUAF guy seems to be wearing a Zabralo without shoulders, maybe they're going to give the Zabralo several variants like the Gen4.

>>546496303
you sure that's not a 6b13?

nigita please any other 5,45 gun i can't use the same ak for 8 years nikita...

>>546496398
I'm pretty sure, I thought it's the 6B13 at first, but the neck and groin protection looks different.

>>546496436
There's this thing coming, I read that it's 5.45.

>>546496398
it's not
maybe they added 6b45

>>546496398
>>546496515
It looks closer to the Zabralo.

>>546496526
fucking gross, i want muh abakan or any aek or some 5,45 beltfed

>>546496303
ideally they would just turn the arm, groin, and neck armor sections into modular attachments for the base armor instead of just adding different prebaked combinations that can't be edited but once again bsg is entirely staffed by apes

>>546497048
it's over...

>>546497048
blacked

so how will they fuck it up?

>>546490058
Look how they massacred my boy...

i dont care about the story
i dont care about the lore
i dont care about the endings
i dont care about the useless niche guns they add that are subpar to others
i dont care about the armour diversity
İ dont care about in game traders

None of these were ever the point.

>i don't care about the fun parts
>i want a fun game

>>546496689
AN-94 and AEK-971 both available in SPT ;)

they add more shit to the game but its gotten worse every fucking wipe
adding more guns or story missions arent gonna fix your game

"look at me, im sooo masculine because i play a hardcore grindy poopsocker game made by retarded devs, ha ha"

>>546490949
>>546491321
I bet it's still going to toggle to the iron sights when you have the red dot mounted, like with the G36 scope.

>>546497948
is abakan properly implemented in there? like the full auto more starting with the burst every time? don't think there was ever a game that did this

i hope people review bomb it on steam, this is one of the rare games that deserve it

>>546498916
Because you're shit at it?

>>546498916
it's absolutely going to happen

I can't believe anybody gives a fuck about Steam reviews.

>>546499126
mhmm and that's why nigita didn't launch it on steam until the last possible cashgrab moment

>>546499017
i got kappa in my first wipe, this game requires 0 skill, its all about how much you can patiently bang your head against the wall over and over again and waste your fucking life

>>546499257
>trust me bro

>>546499350
you would know that if youve played this game more than 200 hours buddy, no need to trust me

>>546499254
I'm pretty sure it's because he didn't want people being able to refund.
>>546499257
Kappa is not an indication of skill, even literal fucking retards get it done. It's just a matter of timesink and going for it is likely what burned you out from being able to have fun with the game.

>10 hours
How long ago did this start and how long do I have to wait?

>>546498130
>Full auto starting with burst
From my understanding, no. Although, maybe I'm wrong and didn't noticed it. They implemented support for hyperburst and reciprocating barrel, grabbed demo for you.
https://youtu.be/YL8xEYGaZmA first minute here showcase it in hideout.

>>546501112
still pretty damn sweet, very nice model too

so what do we do now to pass the time

>>546496526
>>546496526
this could be a high firerate 545 gun so exactly what I wanted. dont really care what platform its on

>>546501837
For me? Duckov while waiting for the update.

>>546501837
I guess I'll just play Tekken 8 or something until tommorow. I hope they post 1.0 patchnotes today.

>>546501636
Yeah, they look pretty good.
Here is mod itself https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2246/wtt-armory Dev said that they'll update it for 4.0 in coming weeks, I really hope they'll add Groza, but RO991, M200, ARCO-12 and Pmm-12 is also nice addition.

>>546502794
Tekken? Anon, it's not the 1990's anymore. It's 2025, now get to gooning dummy, we've got less than 24 hours left!wasg2

>down for 24 hours
ummmmm... I payed for the game... let me play.

>>546508167
We're also getting a made up AS Val.

>>546508249
made up anything is infinetely better than sucking up to that colossal faggot

>>546501837
Been playing nothing but arc since it's released, two weeks in just when I was getting bored there's already a new map, new enemies, new guns, all while fatfuck says with a straight face that there's gonna be 1 dlc per year. Been a while since I played tarkov so might as well but damn it's going to be rough sitting in 10 min queues after 10 sec ones.

So do I need to rebuy this torture machine on Steam? I've had EOD since 2018 or whenever
>>546502671
Glad I decided to play EFD. That was a fun game. Just finished it yesterday.

EVERYBODY in this thread rebought it on steam. Even that one anon who comes by and calls everyone a nigger before leaving bought it again. You'll be the odd one out if you don't.

legit funny how there are people in the discussion section giving advice to buy it then link to their eod bsg account so the steam account gets the bsg account version and they couldn't be happier about it

I will be purchasing this product (for the first time ever) on Steam, I hope we will all get along!

Enjoy the game and try not to get discouraged from inevitably getting stomped in the beginning, we've all been there.

I swear to god if it doesn't say anything in here about reverting all the balance and movement changes from the last update where they raped the game I'm going to be extremely mad.

prepare to get mad then

That's so fuckin annoying man. The balance was decent right before their softcore bullshit. Enforcer could've retained their face shields and been fine, but otherwise it was nice that every class had their own sorta niche. It was working, and then they fucked it up because Nikita is a retard.

I like the current one better, enforcer sucked plain dick before
