When can i Get the open beta key s

There are no announce dates for the open beta or how to gain access to it. So far the only way to get access is by purchasing a package of the game from our official website.

There's nothing about long Q times on this post, are you certain backend problems have a relationship to time in q?

Check date of posts...

That is an information about an issue that existed at that time specifically. It does not mean it will be directly related to an issue you might be experiencing at this moment. 

122 Applicants in less than 3 days. This will be an interesting weekend for me to say the least lol

But we are looking for the best of the best from the community so still go ahead and apply. We might take 10-20 on a trial period. That said, please, read the application. For example, the first question asks:

"Your Forum profile LINK (Not just name)"

And I have like 10 who just typed their names. That is automatically disqualified for...not even going to be reading those applications due to the number of applicants and lack of following instructions. So set yourself apart and...read first! 🙏

Hello Tarkov Fans,

It has been a while since we had a massive moderation team recruitment campaign, and the community has been growing in the forums exponentially. That said, we are now opening up the recruitment of the next batch of moderators to improve the flow of the forums as well as communication. We are looking for those who enjoy being active on the forums, love helping people, and want to get more involved with Escape from Tarkov. This is your shot to be part of the community staff of EFT and furthermore. If you have applied before, it will NOT be considered for this application so, please, learn more and send your application using the link below:

Click Here to Apply!

That said, those who are accepted will be contacted via private message on the forums once we get sufficient new prospects. If you do not get a message back, it means you were not accepted for this time, and we will contact you for the future (no need to reach out as we get a lot of messages ...

"After the recent patch" lmfao, and long before it buddy. 

The question is different here. There is a difference between a specific patch causing an increase/a new issue and the previously already existing stutter issue (which does not happen as often anymore nor for all). In this case, I am talking particularly about "After the recent patch".

Karma system (including for SCAVs) is planned. It will be discussed how exactly it will work once it is ready to come out. 

Hmmm...anyone else also having similar experience after the recent patch?

I am really lost to what you are saying exactly but going from the title, I want to post this directly from the main website:

"Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with MMO features and a story-driven walkthrough."

I'm mostly tired of being killed instantly upon spawn as a scav on factory and then having to wait 20 god damn minutes to play again..people have jobs.. 4~ games in one hour is not cutting it. You should get a reduced cooldown at least if another player scav kills you within 3 minutes of starting 

There is no difference to die by SCAV or something else. What you are suggesting will actually increase the SCAV on SCAV "violence" because everyone will go and farm SCAVs and if they get killed, then great, they get a reduced cool-down which encourages the attack of other SCAVs.

As said before, this is part of the game. Killing SCAVs or working with them is a choice you and the other person must make. It is part of the experience.

My friends and I run labs as much as we can. If you want to see hackers, go into the labs twice a night. You're guaranteed to see them there. We literally just got killed by someone with his discord channel in his name. Upon joining his discord server, you can clearly see the services that he sells. Labs runs for $7 each. C'mon guys, do something about these hackers.

Cheaters are actively being banned. You should see my private messages. It is literally a jar full of cheater tears crying for mercy. 

9/10 times, cheater claims are actually not even cheaters. Just new players who are expecting different in Tarkov and getting killed in a very short time due to the way they move, paths they take, being slow, not knowing hot locations, running around like a headless chicken, etc. 

That said, please, do not post the same things multiple times...

I've noticed as soon as it hits 3:00pm(+10GMT) the queue times jump from 1-2 minutes to 10-40 minutes every day.

Please add another OCE server... PLEASE! I can't get a PMC match during peak hours at all and my friends are hell impatient. End up having to wait for scav matches and still have to wait up to 10 mins...

Here is some info if you missed it: 

@GTB79 is our Sherpa coordinator. He can help. 

At the moment, players may have difficulties entering the game. We are already working to fix this issue as fast as we can.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Btw you said i could report threads to be reviewed? I am not sure how to do that because i dont see an option to report a topic/thread. Only thing i used is "report post" option inside of the topic, is that the same thing or there is an option to report the topic/thread itself?

Hover over a post and the button "report post" shows up just like my screenshot above. 

Just now, pearomaniac said:

I am totally aware of the reasons for this and i am also aware that most of us see only fractions of those post, hence for some longer lasting restrictions may make mods life easier.

Not really. It just means that they will bump old threads we just have to go and lock for other reasons (bumping old threads and not using search function). And more resections only restricts the legit posters who we value their opinion, feedback and their need for help. If that makes sense. And what you are saying is valid and makes sense but not the proper solution from what we know from the inside. 

P.S: Not dismissing you. I will keep what you said in mind for sure. We are also working on expanding our moderation team and restructuring things for better management of the forums. Our Discord is currently top notch. We just have to clean up a little more over here too.

For the love of God, please stop new forum members creating new topics without them fulfilling some requirements first (reply on 10 topics, be a member for a day, get good karma on comments etc.).

The forum is getting overfilled with topics from our respected new members and they are ALL same topics with few variables and it is becoming painful to watch it and to even scroll past it because its, like, there.

I am talking about topics like "i bought the game but cannot play it", "i haven't got verification email", "fix your game", "i got banned and i haven't cheated a day in my life" etc. etc. etc. dozens and dozens of posts like this and most of those post should not even be on the forum as they(players) can inquire about most of those problems to the supports service, please admins, make it stop, at least slow it down.

Thank you. 

There are already restrictions in place and mostly ...

This is sort of already there though, no?

You probably had a sound bug or something.

404 Not Found

Sounds like something blocking it for you. Try to use a VPN. 

Also, you need to own the game before trying to download. Come on dude!
