am I wrong?
modellers dont fix code bugs, they dont code
what hellfish said below yeah
exchange rate when listing items on the flea for euros/dollars isn't the same as exchanging at traders. allows scammers to try and rip off newer/inexperienced players on the flea because their items get sorted as "cheaper" when they're not really
i see. ok
Please Nikita, either buff the loot by a large margin or make these items craftable because we are having massive problems finding these items(ledX, GPS Far-Forward). Especially when cheaters are getting the ledx's before we reach it. I miss the old tarkov where there was a lot of loot everywhere, Customs (marked room) shoreline (ledx rooms), interchange(tech stores), reserve(again tech rooms). Todays tarkov feels like a shadow of that past version of it. Also back in the days we could just make money killing people but now because of the FIR flea we can't do that either. We know that RMT measures didnt work against cheater issues, i think its time to revert those changes. Make the game great again, let us get alot of loot just by killing each other and selling it on the flea. Trust me people wont be buying as many roubles if you give them plenty, like in the past. I hope you realize this :)
i got your point
But what about when the raid is over as a way to review a raid? So that the information can’t be used as an advantage, just purely from an entertainment perspective.
believe it or not - its planned
How about implementing a requirement for those basic windows features which could potentially shut down a lot of cheats? Goat mentioned them his latest video:
-Secureboot
-TPM 2.0
-HVCI
-Preboot iommu
a lot of players will be kicked out
@trainfender since you seem to be active in this thread:
Can you let us know what you think about basically removing the traders and maybe the flea as well? I mean the biggest thing we have to tackle is RMT... and RMT exists, because people want to buy the good stuff. I think no traders and flea would also result in a way better experience playing the game. Because I think what Tarkov makes so unique is the way early wipe plays. You actually play with scrap and are hyped as fuck if you find a suitable weapon attachment... People might ask how to get guns early on. Well... How about you take what you get from the Scavs you killed? No need to spend 40 min in a raid. If you are short of something like meds, weapons etc. go farm some Scavs and leave early on. You said Tarkov is hardcore... But it doesn't feel as much anymore. Especially once the wipe is older than 8 weeks. You will just repeat the same pattern. 1. Build "meta" kit 2. Spawn in raid 3. Either be hunted down by a hacker or lose your kit to an unlucky engage 3.1. you might be lucky and survive/escape with a bunch of stuff on you 4. If you died, repeat step 1. since flea and traders make you not regret any decisions
its too extreme for us to remove such a big parts of the game
So I’m 100% a nobody that has been around playing for 3 years now and even with everything going on still love this game for what it is. But - being silent and still playing the game doesn’t mean that I’m happy with where things are at or a happy customer. I feel like there’s tons of others very similar and will continue to be silent. And aside from the specific issue that had currently flooded the tarkov community - I’d like to take my chance to ask directly / give feedback in hopes you may read this.
My biggest question going forward is - has this whole topic and recent events sparked any talks towards creating a more constant form of regular communication with the community? For a specific example - it took this much backlash & talk through streamers and the community to finally spark conversation from an issue that has been held pretty silent for a while now from BSG as a whole to the main community. Will there be more regular conversation on hot topics, maybe an actual PR department that regularly gives transparent updates on what’s happening, what’s upcoming?
Also do you have any plans to give a public response to the people that showing that the initial post from you was a near copy of a post from a couple years back - I would like to think your intentions were genuine and we’re not supposed to come across as just writing a post to appease the community - but the post and post history/regular gaps in communication show otherwise at face value…
And lastly - aside from the current issues and everything else I’d like to at least say thanks to BSG as a whole for at the minimum putting a bad-ass game idea into practice - this game has been something I’ve been looking for in games ever since I was little… and while I think there are major issues right now and I’m not very happy with the current situation, I have hope that it can be fixed and I fully believe if BSG as a whole pulls some crazy shit off and makes some massive changes this game and next games could easily become more popular than it already has been… but changes aren’t made I at least think it paved a pathway for other games to be developed around and take its place - I hope y’all pull this off, I want to keep bringing people into this game and keep supporting it.
Edit: also I see how active you’re being replying to so many people - I can’t even begin to comprehend the amount of stress and anger right now fuelling the drive to sit here and respond to so many - it does show that you take this stuff personally. Definitely appreciated and again I really hope this all works out in the end for you and your team - y’all have put together something amazing
it wasn't a copy of last post. it was just an approval that nothing changed in a WAY OF PRIORITISATION of a problems. cheaters was no.1 priority for us always. we never stopped fighting with them
I feel like this glosses over the fact that Rengawr had enough influence to get a (legit) player banned very quickly. While he did not have direct access to the ban button, he DID have the ability to get a player banned, whether he pressed the button or not.
I'm not too clued-up on the whole situation, but clarification that there will be a better process to determine cheating internally
otherrather than just taking a streamers word for it would be nice to hear.
as i said it was a mistake
Being able to feel the progression and enjoy all of its content with my limited time. Game does not need try to be competitive to be fun and chellenging. Hindering players does not make this game balanced but more unaccesible. You can make Tarkov enjoyable for every kind of player, be it hardcore or casual, pvp or pve, not taking from either of them, just give them choice to play their way. Make the aspects of game more challenging but reward it, make others more chill but less rewarding and let new/casual players feel the progression and eventually those people will feel comfortable with more chellenging activities and pvp.
make it enjoyable for every player is impossible unfortunately
I see how active you’ve been today and how shitty it must be to handle with a bunch of (rightfully) angered players. Just wanted to say I myself appreciate thee feedback and answers you’ve given a lot of people today.
its totally ok
We're not trying to hurt your feelings you billionaire Russian baby we're trying to figure out why one of the most successful and innovative games in the last decade is stating that they are in too deep to make any meaningful and impactful changes to the game
i didnt get your point
Why are you implementing more and more grindy, chore like mechanics, nerfing loot and buffing AI that is already broken in terms of balance?
the fact is that we did a lot of changes lately to DECREASE grinding.
Okay then, here's one while you're here. Stop gate keeping in game progression with items that cheaters easily obtain. Make them craftable like they used to be. No one wants to play your cheater infested labs map to get items. Stop rewarding cheaters.
which items are you talking about? you can craft almost all of rare items of labs
Why not lock posting and buying of certain items (gear/guns non-FIR) behind a flea reputation? Allow end-game player to sell end-game gear and make PvP valuable for them. Once you complete Kappa there is not much left in the game besides PvP, and it's not really worthwhile.
we need to think more about it
How come you still allow streamers to have people banned based on flawed evidence, especially after the Rengawr fiasco?
The Trey "community anti-cheat" should never have been allowed to exist in the first place.
that was a mistake done in a rush, it wont happen again. Trey is a good guy, dont blame him
Saying you will continue doing what your doing, as any overhaul would be too destructive is not tangible and concrete. It sucks that your in this situation where the cure looks worse than the cancer but there's a point where you have to bite that bullet.
When is that point for your team?
dont be so concrete. It's not that we will not do anything. In the end I am 100% situation will improve. It's already improving by all of the measures taken.
thank you for the reply Nikita. It is appreciated - better comms between the community and BSG would do wonders in rebuilding good will.
Specifically, I wanted to talk about the merits of a statistics based anticheat, in conjunction with battleeye. There was a helpful post recently that explains this, which I found compelling - it was something that I have thought before (as have many others).
Please give the post a read and consider how BSG might use such a system. In my view, it could only undoubtedly help. Cheater behaviour will surely always be obvious if enough data points are analysed.
we do monitor all of the players. how the play, which items they find, what they sell. everything is being stored and all of this being added in the system. it is not fast enough but we make it faster.
GPS Far-forward device is Labs only is it not?
the idea is to have it only from lightkeeper. and it spawns on other maps with really low chance
nikita, can you guys please fix the dollar/euros being organized on the flea incorrectly vs roubles?
thx plz
need more info in this
Is there any way to implement flagging for suspicious flea market listings? Or really high flea rep early wipe? Seeing a guy with 20 ledx listed and 100+ rep like 5 days into the wipe is always sketch as hell and while you can’t definitively say they’re cheating, it more than likely isn’t a legit player, and I feel tackling this would deter cheaters a little as they would have to stagger their wealth and not be as obvious of a nuisance, should they get to greedy their account could be banned from flagging and manual review.
yes, its planned
