Nikita, is crouch walking bugged or has it been nerfed.

Crouching and slowest walking speed still seems very loud, much louder than previous wipes. Have things changed or am I just imagining things?

no its not bugged

Hello, тарковчане!
Need your opinions - how is the 0.12.6 patch, what is good, what is bad. What is needed more than before. Please, tell.
And thank you for your dedication and interest. We broke 200k online and made a record!

One of the things that is important in game design is choice (or the illusion of). Even though one is clearly more beneficial, the fact that both exist allow the player to make a choice as to which one to use. Players get a feeling of agency when this type of behavior occurs, which allows them a sense of ownership over their game.

you can’t say better, thats true :)

its planned

yes its planned

this timer was before. we just started to show it

its being done. not an easy task to do without performance drop or traffic increase

poofanity

I mean Nikita probably doesn't live the healthiest life style. based off his physique. that could be why he always looks like death, but yes people should fuck off with riding the devs over the game. either play it or don't. if you come across bugs, report them and be helpful. not hateful.

It always amazes me when I watch the podcasts and I see you pop in, you always look exhausted, yet super optimistic.

You’ve got the drive man, that’s something not a lot of developers have these days. You guys pour your heart and soul into this game and honestly, it really shows. Hope everything’s going good and keep up the great work

mostly its because of late time (10-12 pm)

thanks guys! just wanted to tell that i'm totally fine! Its just that one day you know, long and hard day. Moving closer to 12.6 and wipe!

planned, except the changes will be shown in this weapon stats window

also i cannot agree that long barrels decrease accuracy in general

Is it possible /u/proconsul12 is referring to barrel harmonics, here? Depending on the quality and construction of the barrel, a certain level of deviation is briefly added to the muzzle after each shot. Which is why I think he is careful to point out that longer barrels need to be paired with high quality materials/weight in order to counter-balance this effect.

Here are a couple short clips to demonstrate, though I'm sure you're already aware of it /u/trainfender :)

with this point - i agree

Thanks, Nikita! You guys have done a great job on this game. When I played the first time, I literally felt anxiety and adrenaline for the first time in a game.

I would love it if you considered the following:
- Create some mild stun effects for no earpro. You could offset this a bit by creating basic earpro that muffles rather than enhances hearing but protects from stun effects.
- It would be cool to have the ability to mod your gun with a heavy barrel for better accuracy and an ergo penalty.
- Just take a second look, if you could, at current relative MOA values between rifles. Plus the MOA feels a little low to me - I'm not sure if I have a truly 1 MOA gun outside of my precision setups, and even then the gun is more accurate than I am. Generally, 2-4 MOA feels about right. It shouldn't make a lot of difference at the ranges we play with in the game.
- I think the difference in pen is maybe a little exaggerated, but in any case I think M995/7N39 should be just about impossible to get. Like I said before, I have only ever seen it once in my life and have never fired it. I have to imagine it would be unicorn-like in its rarity in a Tarkov setting. M855 and 7N6 should really be the norm for what we use in the game, and it should be able to cut through soft armor that is primarily for stopping pistol and shotgun rounds. Actually, it might be even better if you substituted 55 grain for the M855. I know Tula and Wolf make 55 gr steel case by the truckload, but I'm not sure if I've ever seen Russian-made green tip (maybe it's just not imported to the US)
- I absolutely hear you about durability - look forward to seeing implemented at some point. I'm sure you guys know this already, but if you do implement it, bi-metal steel case is believed to be much harder on barrel wear than copper jacketed brass-cased ammo, and is reported to have more problems associated with failure to extract the case. It would be interesting to have to choose between steel case 5.56 for half the price of brass, knowing that you'll wear down your barrel faster and may have a higher rate of malfunctions

One thing I want to congratulate your team on is how you guys have not subscribed to the mythology about M4 accuracy vs AK reliability. The most true thing I ever heard was one of our DIs saying "Don't count on a huge difference between your weapons and theirs: the AR is a lot more reliable than people think, and the AK is a lot more accurate than people think."

-stun from gunshots - planned
-we will have a lot of new barrels - especially for ar15
-yes. MOA right right is pretty low. we will change it in time. something will be changed for the 12.6 patch
-i agree - hi tier amo must be rare

yes. with proper modification you can make your weapon perform really different from "all-knowing" facts

thanks for the info. although we do try to follow the realistic approach, something could be missed, done improperly by mistake or reason (in terms of balancing for example). also we dont have a truly working durability system yet, that why we can't fully use the "robust" and "reliable" principles on weapons. that's why we add "more ergo, less accuracy" where we can't do any other thing. Anyway - thanks! I will definitely make some changes

also i cannot agree that long barrels decrease accuracy in general, as well as m855 being compared to 5.45 igolnik, i think you meant m995 ap round? yes, its compared to 5.45 7n39. m855 is more compared to 5.45 PS (they are both rounds with steel core).
m855 has slightly more pen than 5.45 PS
m855 has less pen than 7.62x39 ps - it could be changed, although we saw some tests - some of them about 7.62 ps better in pen than m855m some of those opposite.
i will continue to check everything

good concept!

looks like they kinda scaled down thats why they look different on the same kind of item. we will look into it

planned

_-Tokijin-_

They did? That is exactly the change I had hoped for. Ty

no we did not

If everybody can appeal, isn’t it utterly misleading to have official representatives say “bans are final and permanent and no one can help you”

it was an old statement. Right after my message i ordered to change that answer.
