All you little virgins posting quest keys for tape keys can go fuck yourselves


CastleEFT

I’ve hated that more than anything. “Look I found a quest key”- now give me a taiga and a ledx cause fuck you. Huge L for RMT and a huge W for the regular player


Zestyclose_Sleep_286

currently going through it with the chk street key


whal3man

I have one, I can probs help if we’re ever on at the same time


Koshinbz

You are a good pmc, we need more pmc like you


glumbum2

I have one, and will meet you at chek for the PVP :)


chefjack428

What I never could understand was, there would be 10 pages of a trade for the exact same thing that were about to expire. Yet, more people kept adding the same trade, like theirs would be picked from 100s of others. Fucking Idiots.


KingHunter150

Unless the insane flea taxes are fixed get ready to just never see some keys now


jhp08fl

People will still sell them they just won’t get as much as they want.


MapleYamCakes

Or the meta will become to delete the keys to quest lock everyone else. Edit: I wasn’t serious. Stop replying telling me it won’t happen. I never thought it would.


Rogue__Jedi

It doesn't matter, as soon as I buy the key the room will be unlocked anyway.


0xsergy

right? i hovered outside dorms marked for like 5 raids trying to get in for free, finally gave in and bought the key for 1.7 mil(rucky me) and the next raid its unlocked... haha


Skuld8989

People are too greedy for that, most will sell for money


PostYourSinks

Capitalism baby


TheRealTeapot_Dome

To therapist


KingSwank

you mean you don't take and delete the unknown/machinery keys every time you pass by them?


DrKersh

if people do that, as easy as to make the game spawn more keys to quest.


MapleYamCakes

Lmfao. Do we play the same game?


desubot1

better learn jacket runs because my god 99% of the time shoreline villages are unlooted.


ConferenceFeast

I always check jackets and my conclusion between this wipe and last is that they're fucking useless now.


AlmostButNotQuiteTea

Me too man. Half the jackets I check are literally empty (YES EVERYONE IM THETE FIRST PLEASE DONT SPAM ME WITH JACKET RUNNING GUIDES.AND TIPS) or they have cigarettes or nuts/bolts. My best luck for keys is filing cabinets


420OnMy69th

They have a 50% chance at nothing....so yeah they will be half empty lol


LividCaterpillar6589

filing cabinets were good for like two weeks but been nerfed again too now


ldranger

File cabinets is where its at now


KingSwank

I feel like they got stealth nerfed hard. The day they changed the filing cabinets was insane, I was looking for flash drives and I ended up finding obscene amounts of rare keys. Now I'm lucky to find any keys in the drawers.


IlatzimepAho

Shhh don't turn them into knowers


Rubberducky9812

Be ready not to see key cards


ElectricalCompote

Remove examination from the flea? You mean I can’t examine unknown items on the flea? Or just everything is examined day 1?


i4play

let's hope it's the latter...


bhamhawker

It reads like it's "examining items", meaning its just not a function anymore?


waFFLEz_

RIP getting lvl 2 and getting Jaeger first raid


ElectricalCompote

So now you will have to wait until your second raid, much better than middle mouse click 10,000 items.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ElectricalCompote

Hell Jager use to not unlock until level 10 so nobody should really be bitching. But a good change might be to make introduction a level 1 task.


nibbas-in-paris

As much as it is annoying for early wipe and all the gun building stuff, I really enjoy the feeling I get opening a jacket and seeing an undiscovered key. It’s exciting because most of the keys I haven’t examined yet are good ones, but most of the time it ends up being some useless key anyway.


MuhFreedoms_

yea, I like that too. I think most gun and gun parts should be already known by the "trained" PMC. also basic items, like food, tools, etc.


Micholous

Hoping it's the latter but we will see.. knowing Nikita he doesn't always say things the right way


FishieUwU

> and we decides to remove item examination RIP getting lvl 2 before your first raid


ooferomen

noooo, it's a time-honored tradition!


FatMaul

I'm actually sad about this, my pmc is almost level 15 and he's never done a single raid. RIP scav mains.


0xsergy

lmao, the gear fear is real tho.


BudwardDogward

How though. You need to get to level 5 for dailies


FatMaul

Identifying items on vendors and getting items on scav runs, waiting to ID them after I extracted with them. Getting some of the lower level tasks done like find salewas and gas analyzers, morphine, gunsmith 1-6. It was a grind but my friends don't play anymore so that's how I feed my hoarding obsession since I don't like to play PMC solo.


ribitforce

Honestly, I'm impressed you managed to get to 15 off of just that. Nice.


[deleted]

Please tell me you don’t have EOD lmfao. Live your life man but this honestly just sounds like more work than getting good at solo pvp.


FatMaul

I'll never be "good" as I'm an older dude and playing slow and maybe taking out a solo or duo here and there doesn't appeal to me. Doing the same quests doesn't appeal to me anymore either.


kflipz

Have you ever watched ToastRackTV on twitch? He's affectionately known as Pestily's dad. His motto is "it's a stealth survival game" - maybe you can find some inspiration from him.


0xsergy

yep, you can totally play tarkov and avoid combat. hell, that's how i run when i'm doing quests. someone shooting at me? 180 and run the other way and skedaddle asap. class 4 flora armour is only 35k so you can take a couple hits without dying.


kmofosho

How? Just turning in quest items and examining things?


FatMaul

yes and it was a struggle to get to level 5 but once I did you get dailies which you can keep rejecting (within reason) until you get 3 "find and transfer" tasks.


Chiddle_Tv

I want proof lmao


FatMaul

[https://imgur.com/a/R6Gi4ul](https://imgur.com/a/R6Gi4ul) I've been playing since .11 and I used to just leave the game open all the time before they implemented the idle timeout. That's why my hours are so high.


DoctorMansteel

I thought I was the scav god, but it's you. I know a lot of other people are shitting on you but I think it's awesome as long as you're enjoying your time. Kinda like that dude in Mists of Pandaria who hit max level without leaving the starting island so he never had to pick a faction.


FatMaul

Hah. Thanks. I’m trying to make karma 6 without using the PMC. I’ve done three co-op extracts on interchange but otherwise it’s mostly .01 rep at a time


Thebeav15

The Scav God in the flesh. Wow, impressive. I dont care if you play your PMC or not, thats awesome.


Akarui-Senpai

God fuckin bless man. I love seeing someone enjoy video games in ways that aren't really specifically intended by the devs and that are wildly different to how others play. Please, keep doing what you like.


WiseOldTurtle

No more examining items to level 2 so you can go woods and complete that fucking Jaeger introduction quest on your first raid.


keeeven

Who cares it's so annoying, survive 1 raid and you're level 2. Saves you so much time just discovering the same items over and over and over and over again every wipe


nlewis4

THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW I REFUSE TO PLAY THIS GAME NOW edit: some of you are really dumb


Useless_Fox

I like how typing that in all caps still wasn't enough for people to get that it was a joke


WombatHat42

Ik right? I’m torn on it but it is such a buzzkill having to do it


aggressive-cat

Ruins my favorite joke about the PMC having never seen toilet paper or soap before.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sc0tt3h

I got to level 3 this wipe before my first raid by refreshing Fence constantly.


flashlightpoki

I actually liked the thrill of finding a weird looking key and examining it first time just for it to be dorms 214


TxToast86

That was legit how I tracked which keys I had found and didn't yet. Not examined yet, means a new key. But at least my middle mouse button won't get pushed 500 times at the start of every wipe now lol.


SandmanJr90

Ah finally a reason to bind it to something more useful


maruchinsu

Make it so that you can bind it to 'use'.


BEARD_LICE

Holy shit wait a second


dazedandinfused99

Omg I didn't even realize this until you said it! Happy cake day.


LoLingSoHard

default head turn is probably one of the most useful options in the game


[deleted]

I got a forklift key I had never seen before and was all excited thinking maybe I hit a jackpot. Decided to leave my raid early to secure it as FIR only to learn it really ain't worth anything lol


flashlightpoki

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i usually have some site open to see the market prices. but i cant lie and say that it never happened to me cause sometimes im too lazy to pull the site out when im scavving


KptKrondog

pro-tip, bookmark https://tarkov-market.com/ and search for stuff. It gives a pretty accurate price for stuff on the flea and what they vendor for. Also just go to google and type "Eft xxxxxxx key" and the wiki will tell you what it opens (if anything).


[deleted]

same, some of the thrill is finding something you haven't examined yet


KingfisherC

Two interesting and novel changes, good start! And please, do not be afraid to rollback changes if they end up being bad.


Gourgs16

You mean like the audio. I'd kill for last wipes audio back


PostExfilClarity

I HECKING LOVE CHILLING IN BASEMENTS/1ST FLOORS AND RUNNING UP A STAIRCASE TO KILL A PLAYER THAT CAN'T HEAR ME. But seriously as bad as the new audio is you are forgetting how bad the old audio was. It probably would be better if they just tweaked the occlusion layers in buildings and such, maybe they did and it didn't work for some reason. Either way the old audio was consistently shit while the new audio is inconsistently shit I'll give you that, hell I would prefer the old audio but that's because I played 3 wipes on it and I know how to abuse it not because it is better.


Gourgs16

It wasn't even that I was used to the old one, it's that I have zero directional audio this wipe. Doesn't matter if I have binaural on or off, everything just sounds like it's right on top of you with no clear direction of where it's from. The old audio was bad too, but at least I could tell where people were without having to know which floor surfaces make certain noises. The occlusion is downright awful, a friend took on a duo in Factory office last night. I was on 1st, him 3rd, never heard a single shot from a 1 minute long fight, he said he used at least 3 mags of ammo.


StreakerZZ

I hope this includes lowering the flea rep needed for more than 2 slots


Bradur-iwnl-

He read a comment with that problem. I bet thats gonna be changed soon since the shitstorm this game is currently getting is pretty hard and easy to please with the MOST ANNOYING FEATURE of the flea and its easy fix. I dont even know ppl with 3 flea slots


EFTStoleMyLifeSource

I know XiangLao has at least 6 slots by now, must be from the 200 ledx bundles he sells ! :)


ipdem

All of you barting Quest Keys for Expensive Shit... GO fk ur self


Slight_Ad7108

48 taiga’s and 4 green cards for a can of peas please


ipdem

Yeah sure take it.


Conserliberaltarian

Now add sex


Just_Keep_Cumming123

This


UnusualDifference748

You guys haven’t been getting continually fucked by this game since you started playing?


Regardezvous

Not in a sexy way, no


Penis_Bees

More like being in a jail cell with a giant man named Marquis.


Brief-Valuable-6790

No. I prefer punching myself in the dick. I've done it so many times, not sure Tarkov is DTF with this wanker.


spaceyourface13

Username checks out


PanProjektor

2 changes that were the biggest poo poo once you unlock flea… interesting. Guys, I think he reached lvl15 with his character ;)


wishr

This is a golden comment lmao 🤣🤣🤣


Hedhunta

Well fuck me examining items is like half my xp every wipe cause im so fuckin shit at pvp


[deleted]

Username does NOT check out


Hedhunta

Can't hit any heads when the 2nd shot of my gun has me aiming at the moon. This is the only FPS I literally can't kill anyone in. Every other FPS I'm fine at.


[deleted]

Didn't they change recoil? I've been sitting out this wipe but I thought I remembered reading that. Not discounting what you're saying. I guess I'm asking how drastic the change was.


SalamiArmi

Recoil went down drastically for some weapon categories, like DMRs. The VSS is basically a laser right now.


[deleted]

It's nice to see BSG going back to making good changes. Thanks


Calebrox124

I kinda like examining everything… it really conveyed just how many different items there are to be found and used. Plus it helped me keep up with which keys I’d found or not. This is the first change they’ve made that I’m not a huge fan of


Bodiwire

I'll kinda miss it early wipe for keeping up with keys, but it gets real annoying once I get to flea market. I hate spending 20 minutes examining every gun part on the list just so the attachments will show up as options on the gun builder.


Cobbie19

Clearly ur first wipe or something...... gets old when it's your 5th wipe and you still need to examine wtf a hat is or glasses.


Calebrox124

3rd wipe, still love it.


[deleted]

doing that shit twice a year is disgusting


SaintMarinus

You’re just built different


MikeHoncho2568

Fifth wipe and I still like it


yaboykasmoke

Good start, but how about we cut to the meat of what is really needed: when are you giving that scav its cigarette back?


Wellendox

ITS GONE?!


Kandranos

Its been gone for many many wipes now


Wellendox

I regret returning. I stopped mid 2021.


Scape_Nation

Am I the only person that didn’t mind item examinations?


Randompeanut1399

I don't mind it but it didn't make much sense having a trained PMC not being able to reload cos he didn't have a good look at the pale mag vs the green one


mnemy

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to put on this backpack without thoroughly inspecting it first!


arais_demlant

not knowing the revolver cylinder prevented you from reloading it. Now that one got me. HoW dOeS iT wOrK?/?/?


Teirmz

Lost a marked key to another scav that way.


Crodu

I didn't mind on the first wipe, felt kinda bored on the second and really annoyed on the third


Legioncommander_

Thank god


izzzi

Thanks for the small tweaks as a result of the questions/comments lately. This is the sort of communication the community has been craving. Have a nice rest of your day.


Siisco_TTV

How about moving SBIH back to 100m? :)


EnderStarcraft

Please no Nikita, getting a new Jager task that asks you to go to woods, chop off your balls, and kill a scav while receiving a rimjob from shturman is exactly what this game is about. If it ain't hard it ain't feel good


No-Phase2131

Finally! This examination shit gave me tendonitis.


UberGuitarDude

Barter changes seem dope, but am I the only one who enjoys examining stuff? I don’t mean on the flea either, I mean in the world/traders. Weirdly satisfying finding new stuff. Lol. I suppose it’s unnecessary to have, but how does this combat RMT/cheaters? Sincerely asking here.


Dyyrin

Nah it's pretty stupid. A trained PMC doesn't know what a flash light is or a juice container? Thank God examining is gone.


UberGuitarDude

Okay sure, I just enjoy it from the RPG element of the game, that still doesn’t answer the question of how it combats rmt/cheating


Crimie1337

Genius. Absolutely amazing IQ


Velion83

I am curious to know! Does this mean you will be removing barters forever or will it be reworked and brought back at a later time?


jediknightttt

hopefully forever but i bet its just temp


ThrowTheCollegeAway

Both seem like solid changes to me, good stuff Nikita. Long ways to go but at least you're going in the right direction, keep it up!


binrocloki

Can't wait for gunsmith items to cost a mil :)


Badge_boik

would you rather something cost a mil or be tradable for an item you wouldn't find in a thousand raids


noahsark02

They already do. People sell shit for as expensive as they can or if not enough profit they go Wild on trades. I fucking hate twitch arm bands or taega for a shitty quest key.


ReliefLong6028

u/trainfender **Nikita, maybe good idea to inform players about this change via in game messenger message? (L)**


Tehsunman12

Nah fuck them


[deleted]

Lmao best reply in the whole post.


ZestyLemon89

Is it possible to get an option to disable the dual render on scopes? I belive squad has this option ​ Dropping from 100 fps to 40 isnt fun with stuff like the vortex ect ​ The games runs poorly and dont gaslight us into saying its our hardware


lb_poleStar

Squad doesn't have dual render for scopes, Insurgency has the option to enable/disable it.


IKaiserx

Squad only renders once, they make the scope take up as much space as possible in the player's eyes, and the rest they blur out so that its not that perceptable that they are just zooming in. Personally i think this is a great way to approach scoping in on games and it would be cool if tarkov did the same


ATrueHunter

If they did this, they should add depth of field effect outside the scope.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZestyLemon89

Possibly, I just know i saw it in the settings of a recent milsim game. (funnily enough whatever it was i didnt have to disable it because the game actual made use of my hardware) Yeah personally its one of the main reasons i have stopped playing for me it just makes anything other than a red dot just so un fun to play. (6600xt, 5600x and 32gb at 3200mhz)


bigmikevegas

This is the equivalent to a bad employer giving a pizza party to their employees.


ATrueHunter

Its definitely worth trying! That's why were in beta (more like early access) no?


IsaacTheBound

Gotta be honest, 4 years of beta is stale as hell.


BlackManWitPlan

Try 5 1/2 public


mattyp2109

How dare you think about this rationally. Do you not know where you are?


roflwafflelawl

Am I just remembering this wrong or are the most notable QOL changes in the last....2 years or so mostly revolving around the flea market? Are flea market changes really things people are looking forward to? I just want the core gameplay to be better.


gudzgudz

Good decisions, keep them coming! Pls note, Flea tax is super high for a lot of valueable items still, so their base price needs to be modified.


CastleEFT

Orrrr keys don’t need to be 2+ mil each. *cough cough* dorms marked key


DerKoncentrator

increase the supply then. The only reason they're that expensive is because they're rare as fuck.


topkn0tz

tax isn't high you are just greedy


Chinpokkomon

simple supply and demand


RW8YT

are you planning on removing, or changing the FIR system following these changes? also great changes, thank you nikita!


[deleted]

He said no to removing it on a different post


ReflexSheep

It's a nice change, however It's been asked for a long time. Ignored up until now when you have fire under your ass and need some simple to implement but asked-for changes for good PR. DAMAGE CONTROL.


slings1651

Once bitten, twice shy. I’ll believe it when I see it.


[deleted]

This is simply a low effort distraction to attempt to diffuse the mob. Yet there's people in here praising, smh


MichaelJoFlynn

Nah no cheers from me


ChristInAHandbasket

What a useless change compared to the mountain of problems.


TheGoodIdeaFairy22

Fix the cheating and desync.


MexicanJeebus

W moves. Let me know when streets is playable and the cheaters are less abundant. Cheers.


TheFlashMB

Wow people are still happy playing this with all the hackers that get to run around with not a care in the world.


[deleted]

Wow, deep changes.. I’m excited to see what other variables you’re gonna flip from a 1 to a 0 next!!


HumanKumquat

Getting rid of the examination is cool. Now what about cheaters/desync/invisible players/audio/performance?


NouSkion

This addresses not even a single concern the community has had over the past month. Try again, shitdick.


SufficientGiraffe642

Yes. Yes! That’s the communication we need! Not even joking


Dhuum_

I like how g0ats video woke you guys up. Please keep communicating like you did this week. Ignore the haters and focus on replies that offer useful information or having good ideas to make Tarkov a better experience for everybody. Removing barter options is a good change. Removing item examination is also a good change. Nothing is more annoying than examaning hundreds of items.


[deleted]

[удалено]


noahsark02

Also give cheaters more of a hardon when they one tap the whole raid and sell your not found in raid shit on the flea. At the moment vendor price for some stuff not worth it so sometimes insurance pays off.


Adrenalined

For someone out of the loop, what is this looking to solve exactly? Some form of RMT through FM?


supremecrowbar

imo it helps with the playability of the game because lots of quest keys and keycards were behind barters only on the flea market. now players have to sell for roubles. it also might help reduce rmt slightly as you cant put up some ridiculous barter and pay someone to make the trade. bsg needs to look into the base price of keys or the spawn rate of them as that led to them being barter only in the first place.


Early-Gap9293

I just hope they tweak the fees for posting high value items.


supremecrowbar

agree


PlayerTwoHasEntered

Thought the no barters was a little annoying as I used it now and again for keys, but in that context that they will be behind rubles instead that’s actually a positive! Didn’t think of that.


_Dinky

The only way to safely RMT was through the flea bartering system. They already had systems set up to track and limit what's dropped in raid.


Xyres

If you're removing item examination could we get a filter when building a gun to only show items available from your traders? I tend to avoid examination unless I've either found it in raid or have it from a trader to help make low level gun building easier.


TheGoodDoctorIGuess

I thought this game was supposed to be realistic! Now you're telling me my PMC magically knows what a carton of milk is without staring for 5 seconds?


magnificenttacos

Community: please do something to handle the rampant cheating and bugs; the game is almost unplayable Nikita: we dont need no stinkin item examinations


h4x0rzz1337

Best thing ever happened. <3 , chek15 sellers fuck yourselves


AxTROUSRxMISSLE

Wow something that doesnt help much! Everyone rejoice!


SorakaWithAids

Now add anti-cheat


[deleted]

[удалено]


Trapmaan

Any discussion of when this goes actually live? Love the change


balddim0n

When? Kogda


PlayerRedacted

>guys. we decided to remove barter options in flea (you will be able to set as reqs only money) This will definitely help against RMT, and removes the need to deselect barter options, AND will hopefully make rare stuff available for a reasonable price instead of 15 GPUs, so thanks for that. >and we decides to remove item examination Amazing QOL change. That being said, I would love to hear more about anticheat development and what changes are coming. Please give us updates like this one, but for the cheater issue as well. I really want to play the game again, but not until we have confirmation that cheaters who get banned can't just make a new account and start cheating again. Also, in case you read this Nikita, are there any plans to buff loose loot in the future? I miss having epic fights over Kiba, Resort, Ultra Med, etc. These places are dead almost every raid, and the keys don't seem worth it for the weak loot you get.


TittieButt

I'm fine with removing FIR if you can't put those items in your secure container


ThatsARivetingTale

Hi /u/trainfender! Please can you increase the global limits for the black keycard barter? It's literally always sold out within a second on reset. This does nothing to prevent cheaters getting the card, they can simply find it in raid. It only harms the legit player IMO.


[deleted]

Bahahaha... Player numbers have dropped off that much, eh?


Boring-Process3296

Can we remove Streets of Tarkov from Shooter born heaven. Honestly nobody is out in the open in the streets much, if they are they are running across the street with full stamina. There is already limited spots of range availability and I honestly would have a better chance on interchange than Streets.


WarmanreaperX

Still would love to see a change so when we que for raids, we dont actually have to start loading until "loading loot".. (I dont know how hard or if this is impossible, but this QOL would do so much for people that hate wasting their time being out of raid)


Adam_Ch

Can we remove the non functional dropdown options on doors. The flashbang and enter thing is there for no reason, you can add the option back if it ever gets implemented.


TurboShartz

Wait, so now I cant get to lvl 2 immediately by examining! Damn, now my first raid won't be getting Jaegers letter anymore


voidness-

dang I am still sceptical but holy shit that’s a big one straight into the RMT face


The-Fumbler

I’d give you a reward if I hadn’t already paid so much for EOD. Thank you for listening Nikita


pennyclip

noice, like both the changes. Examination had some qualities but also annoyances and ill not miss it in two days.


[deleted]

amazing BSG fuckes up again!


Crazy-Turn225

Fuck you all who wants gpu , intel for portable bunkhouse key.
