💣tarkov-released

[hollow haven]

I get matched in 5 secs every time

[lyric cairn]

Does anyone know how many employees BSG has?

[stark torrent]

300 maybe

[lyric cairn]

Oh okay so they're a big studio and thus have big studio problems.

[stark torrent]

NVM

102 lol

if this site is accurate

[lyric cairn]

Oh. So they're mid-sized and still have big studio problems

On one hand, the fact that EFT works as well as it does is remarkable. Creating the kind of persistent gear system that they have is pretty crazy.

But I wish they'd narrow their focus and start working on polishing what is currently there, rather than adding new things or a spinoff game because they're all going to be half-baked.

Someone needs to reign in Nikita's ambition. It's cool and without that ambition, we wouldnt have EFT at all but, at some point, someone's gotta tell him "Aye man this is all too much."

[foggy jay]

Yeah it’s understandable

[lyric cairn]

I guess we all know that except for Nikita, though.

[soft coral]

ofc

[foggy jay]

Imo it will be improved, god knows how long it will take BSG though

Another issue is how it will be linked to Tarkov

[soft coral]

about 6 years

same as tarkov really

maybe 7

[lyric cairn]

I wonder how bad their tech debt is, too.

What a bummer.

[soft coral]

I give the game

4 months

max

[white void]

uh huh

[compact knoll]

too big to fail

it will get good in 4 months

[uncut ruin]

love killing hte audience after a win

best part of arena

arena is great imo and pest's complaints are weird shit about "time wastes"

i think the old man needs to get a hobby

job bitterness with streamers is a real thing

[soft coral]

the entire playerbase rn

[white void]

https://tenor.com/view/aizen-plan-coping-kid-the-kid-is-coping-gif-26280717

[uncut ruin]

Legit one of the more fun games I've had in a while where you can just crack open a beer and enjoy some shootouts with a funny announcer but all these tarkov "fans" do is bitch about armour classes and winrates

The streamer brainrot is unreal. What happened to the original tarkov mentality of having fun in a hard game

[stark torrent]

nah he is defo right, i have 5k hours and i know exactly how time wasting tarkov is

adding multiple UI gates to get in a match is never good

if dota / league had this shit people would mald their ass off

[uncut ruin]

yes, tarkov, but did you watch his takes on arena? he wanted to remove double match confirmations

something htat's a standard time saver on most matchmakign games

[stark torrent]

say what u want about those too , but in dota you press Search Game and Accept , then u select hero and thats it

[uncut ruin]

league does have double match confirmations

then he said people could pick loadouts before queueing

like bro yeah no thanks

you gotta keep in mind he plays on the aussie server

there are like 7 people there

tarkov is a HUGE time waster, i pretty much stopped playing because of how much time you waste between raids

[stark torrent]

aye that is true and tbf they still have to give thousands of codes to others as well

[uncut ruin]

but arena isnt that

[stark torrent]

right now i think only 25% of the people have arena access

[uncut ruin]

and giving it a 4/10 for very weird reasons is just eh

[stark torrent]

main issue is definetely the kits and progression is kinda slow rn

the matchmaking balance is what hurts it , nobody wants to get raw dogged by 2+ higher kits with 1 tap ammo

[uncut ruin]

i dont see it

i have about 30 matches so far

its all been low gears

like unless someone's been turbo gaming, or its someone that got a key before the rollout

getting lvl 4-5 armor isnt even that hard, its tier 3 in a tree or something (could be wrong)

but the devs definitely intent for you to stick to a tree and grind it to high gear asap

THAT is questionable

but all the fun aspects outweigh the bad imo, its a great alternative to the time sink of tarkov

[daring torrent]

tarkov has the most indepth gun customization of any game ever and they dont even let u build one in the arena mode

idk why they didnt just go for a more realistic cs type style

[dapper grotto]

dont let you build guns yet

they said we will be able to use custom presets somehow

[daring torrent]

pls just be cosmetic,...

[uncut ruin]

RSASS Dragon Lore

[stark torrent]

[uncut ruin]

wtf is that

fucking burer pov

ohh wall hax

fun :D

[dapper grotto]

grand total of 24H for them to show up

[uncut ruin]

its pretty much the same structure as tarkov

[stark torrent]

Green Skeleton Gletch

[upbeat lark]

nope have fun fighting 28 recoil m4s and mk47s with BP every round

[fallen cloak]

UM AKSHUALLY
this is called esp

[fallen cloak]

theres no way the preset gun builds are actually good

[uncut ruin]

thank you Michaelphone

[uncut ruin]

For anyone else that might be playing arena here
Apparently long queue times aren't server issues, you just have to restart the game and it insta finds games again.

hopefully this gets fixed soon :P

[stark torrent]

[lyric cairn]

Name a more iconic duo: Tarkov and restarting every couple of raids

[uncut ruin]

nope

it worked once for me

and now the servers are dead worldwide

praise beta tests!

[vivid dawn]

Are you loosing rubles with more expensive kits even if you win and perform well ?

Cause ive heard the economy is fucked

[uncut ruin]

for the tournament mode you get compenstated for your kit if ur 1st place

[vivid dawn]

Wow thats shit xD

[uncut ruin]

no u also get more money on top of that

[vivid dawn]

So everyone is a looser except the first guy

Thats garbage

[uncut ruin]

no

when did i say that

sry im ingame rn

cant talk much

[vivid dawn]

You said you get compensated when your 1st

So everyone looses unless the 1. of your team

[uncut ruin]

2nd place loses a bit of money but gains ranked points

3rd place loses a bit of ranked points iirc

Everytime you check, Nikita delays your key by an hour.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF-MzpCZuc4&ab_channel=tarkin

[frosty basalt]

I like tarkov but is anybody actually that excited for arena

That they can’t wait for it to drop

If you are that person tell me why

[wintry ridge]

tarkov is lame and I want pvp without setting up a kit for 5 minutes to die in 2

[stark torrent]

oh but you will still wait the same mount of time dont worry

let alone that progression is like a mobile game one , slow and tedious

[wintry ridge]

Wait 6 minutes for raid even tho the maps are tiny and there's only 10/6 people per game

Weird how that works

[uncut ruin]

@wintry ridge nah @stark torrent is coping. It finds matches instantly and then it's a 1-2 min wait for everyone to load the map and buy their preset

[wintry ridge]

still too long

it should be choosing presets while matching

and without the weird csgo accept match button

[uncut ruin]

Are those your words or pestily's

[wintry ridge]

since u already choose to queue up

i have no ideas of my own

pestily's

[uncut ruin]

Exactly

[white void]

you talk about slow and tedious yet you also play war thunder

smh iedy

[uncut ruin]

I don't understand why it's unacceptable to wait 2-3 min total to start a match. I've yet to encounter any team pvp video game that doesn't take this long

There's also no after game logistics like in Tarkov, you just queue again

And finally, pre-picking loadouts wouldn't even save that much time. Most of the time everyone insta picks, and when they don't it's a 30-60 sec at the worst

Only reason pest is pressed for time is because he's streaming

[wintry ridge]

[white void]

alo

[wintry ridge]

it adds up over time but yeah its not really that bad

[wintry ridge]

gn

[white void]

alo

[wintry ridge]

whats the alo version of bye

[stark torrent]

coping kekw if you are used to shit standards just say so

pestily had valid complaints

[uncut ruin]

You haven't even played it

Pests complaints were weird nitpicks and getting in a game is pretty fast

And I quit tarkov years ago because of the long waits

Why would I now love wait times lol

He complained about some presets being better than others, but then complains about kedr chads wiping lobbies

Then complains about double lobby confirms which are a standard time saving practice in most multiplayer games

Pests video was a mess

And my thoughts are supported by other more level headed ogs loving the game

[stark torrent]

this excuse doenst work in 2024 in the internet age where you can watch gameplay and shit

ive watched like 5-6 hours of arena streaming and the complaints are valid

[uncut ruin]

It works because every single one of you is extremely opinionated but hasn't even touched the thing they're complaining about

[stark torrent]

i have not seen a single "og" you talk about not agree with pestily yet

[uncut ruin]

Again everyone's complaining about time waste but you get in a game in 2 to 3 minutes

[uncut ruin]

Not talking about agreeing with pest. Talking about general optimism for the game. I usually watch deadly and klean. Usually 200% less bitchy than pest and it continues to be that way

[stark torrent]

see you already missed the point

it takes 3 mins to find a game if u lucky , then 3 more mins to accept and take loadout

load map everytime etc

[uncut ruin]

That is straight up not true. I usually find a match in 30 seconds

Keep in mind pastily plays in Australia

He will have the worst scenario in matchmaking every time in every game

That's why he's so red about it

[soft coral]

in bulgarian we say Чао

Or Довиждане

[vivid dawn]

2 to 3 minutes is a long wait time

[soft coral]

for tarkov it isnt

[vivid dawn]

Warthunder when it had only 20k players peak time had less than a minute search time

2-3 Minutes is long.

[soft coral]

Idk

[stark torrent]

The reason the queue times are "fast" rn is also because the tier system doesnt rly work

So you will get matched with whatever rank players , this is why the m4 chad will kill lvl 2 timmy who got the game

[vivid dawn]

Lol yeah when people get ranked and play against same ranks qeue times get longer

[stark torrent]

The balancing is not there , prob because if it was , it would take 10 minutes to find equally leveld / skilled individuals

As the grind is still ....long

And if someone grinds for 16 hours doesnt mean your average dude will

[vivid dawn]

For a fully paid title

[stark torrent]

Veritas made a good point

The grind wouldnt feel long if many kits wouldnt be GARBAGE

[vivid dawn]

Wait for them to introduce micros

[stark torrent]

Like i wouldnt mind grinding the shit out of a kit , but that kit better be good

Instead some can be worse than the previous one , but in order to progress you have to unlock that one

And yeah it takes the motivaiton out

ALSO , YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE PREVIOUS KIT TO GAIN XP FOR THE NEXT ONE

Which is bad

[vivid dawn]

Wtf

Thats horrible

[stark torrent]

Yeah , so its not like warthunder , where out of 4 planes let's say , you know 1 is good and you can at least use that

Here , u get the mp5k kit , you have to use the mp5k kit until you get the other

Even tho on the other tree there was smth better

Same rank , but not in the same tree

Cringe

[soft coral]

game comes out
its shit

nothing new under the sun

[stark torrent]

Its not that shit , but its defo the classic bsg

Good ideas , executed as bad as they could

[soft coral]

as we say here
same old song on a new voice

[stark torrent]

WHY? Probably because they focused too much on tournaments where they gave premade kits anyway

So nobody had to complain about progression , because every team had the same kits

To choose from

[vivid dawn]

Whats with the collectors kit

[soft coral]

too much hype

[vivid dawn]

It gives +10%

[stark torrent]

idk , i havent gotten arena yet

[soft coral]

and they didnt deliver

[vivid dawn]

Yeah still waiting too but the more i warch the less icwanna play

[soft coral]

if a mechanic doesnt work on launch that automatically makes it shit

legit broken on arrival

[stark torrent]

honestly, i understand the hype , people were desperate for a W and a break from Tarkov lets be real

Sadly bsg did bsg stuff

[vivid dawn]

Most of Tarkov is shit.Gunplay would be decent if an AK wouldnt have less recoil than an M4

[soft coral]

they got the hype started

gullible players got excited

they got a shit product

bow they cope

"surely they will fix stuff guys give them time"

[vivid dawn]

Or whats up with the idea that only 1. Place gets their kit payed for

Feels like loosing despite winning a match

[soft coral]

They couldve implemented arena into tarkov man

Legit put the maps on the bigger map

but no

new game

right

[vivid dawn]

Many complained that they lost Money despite winning and performing well just because of their Kit.Doesnt work well if you want to unlock the next one and unnecessary forcing you to use cheaper kits without any logical reward.

[soft coral]

BECAUSE GAME IS SHIT ON ARRIVAL

are people unable to comprehend that

[vivid dawn]

I do

[soft coral]

Yiu do

all of the arena playerbase clearly doesnt

[vivid dawn]

Thats why i point out dumb mechanics which would let room for funny micro transactions

[vivid dawn]

They do complain too

Thats how you get changes.

Pointing out dumb shit

If you just eat their trash you always get trash

And dont worry i already complained where it really matters.

[soft coral]

sure, complain

they will change stuff

in about 4 years

maybe 3 if we're lucky

[stark torrent]

I mean , the last tournament was won because they ran out of the timer and TAGILLA w shifted the last survivor

Like......why is this in a competetivie game

[vivid dawn]

I dont get that passive aggressiveness

[stark torrent]

I understand normal gameplay

But in a tournament, that guy could have clutched the 2v1

Instead he got rushed by Tagilla because he was next to his spawn

So he died and lost the game

[soft coral]

oh im not passive agressive

[stark torrent]

[vivid dawn]

Yeah thats shit

[soft coral]

no hard feelings

[vivid dawn]

You seem upset

[vivid dawn]

🤷‍♂️

[stark torrent]

Thats just ivan's way of talking, you have to get used to it

[vivid dawn]

Ahhh i see

[stark torrent]

He defo exagerates on some ideas but some shit is deserved

[vivid dawn]

Yeah havent seem him much outside of this channel ^^

[stark torrent]

However , i guess you can "excuse" the state of current Arena bcause it's a BETA TEST KEKW

However

HOW MUCH TIME IS IT GONNA BE A BETA TEST

7 more years just like Tarkov?

Like if they dont start fixing shit and changing shit

[vivid dawn]

I mean Arena has tons of potential but how can you make it that bad.Most of the mechanics really scream "paid skips"

[soft coral]

aha beta yes

[stark torrent]

In good time , then they can go fuck themselves

[soft coral]

[soft coral]

Blame me for being Bulgarian

[vivid dawn]

Has Tarkov their Armor plate system finaly?

[soft coral]

we say things bluntly

[stark torrent]

You probably will be able at some point

Nikita even said in the last QA that EoD will be removed but they will add another thing

So yeah

Like....classic

[vivid dawn]

[soft coral]

Better to be pessimistic than be optimistic

[stark torrent]

So they are probably gonna add another EoD clone called differently and be simply more expensive for the same shit

[soft coral]

especially with tarkov

[stark torrent]

So if EOD now is 120-140 euro , the Corner of Light edition or whatever will be 200 euro

Or whatever

[vivid dawn]

• taxes

[stark torrent]

Yes

Bro the taxes are honestly worse than the price itself

[vivid dawn]

Thats the funny shit that they add taxes on top of it

[stark torrent]

Watching getting 22 euro in tax extra makes me cringe

[vivid dawn]

Like how ... i pay for a game 60€ theres taxes included you greedy assholes

[stark torrent]

They did it like this because they are Russian and since they are not regulated by EU laws

[vivid dawn]

How cant they manage to do that?

Yeah they just pocket it i think.

[stark torrent]

And with the current demographic , they can do whatever they want

Everyone will just say you dont like it , dont buy from the russians

I mean brother , they said last year ended up in a tax loss for them

they made like 2 billion pounds or smth stupid

and declared it as a loss

[vivid dawn]

with that? 200 employees

[stark torrent]

102

[vivid dawn]

102 dafuq

[stark torrent]

which only 66 were registered or smth like that

[vivid dawn]

They are worse than scam citizen

[stark torrent]

Their official office is in UK , but a guy from reddit actually lives next to that building

He said that is just a dummy building for like 4-5 companies

It's a closed building with a desk and 2 chairs

Thats what it is

[vivid dawn]

Nothing unusual

[stark torrent]

Ye i mean tax fraud or whatever

Nikita has a dodge charger , mercedes GT or whatever

And they declared it as a loss in the fiscal year

Classic

[vivid dawn]

[stark torrent]

His apartment is actually insane , he actually modeled it in Streets

[vivid dawn]

Now im kinda curious if hes under investigation

[stark torrent]

I dont think so because right now they are earners for the Russians

[vivid dawn]

Is it the one with the funny toys in it?

[stark torrent]

Yeah their office is in UK to dodge the Russian law or shit

But they still pay their taxes

As long as they do that , they wont touch them i guess

[vivid dawn]

He was in Germany,Hannover on Dreamhack thats what i mean

[stark torrent]

haha nah , its the one with the music studio

[vivid dawn]

Here you get a longer jailtime for tax fraud than murder

[stark torrent]

He was just visiting

Their office is registered in UK , but they all live in ST Petersburg

[vivid dawn]

Interpol will get him when the sum is big enough

Oh well who know what they really do or if theres agreements

[stark torrent]

Honestly , i dont thing it will get to that

They would rather close up shop than let it get there man

[soft coral]

let them close

[vivid dawn]

Mhhh oh well

2 billion and only 102 employed

[stark torrent]

Because apparently, everything right now is supposed to be earning them money to start the main project , Russia 2028 , which is supposed to be literally Stalker in Tarkov region

But i feel they would simply fuck off and not develop that

[vivid dawn]

Ohhh that one

[stark torrent]

nvm 2 billon is stupid , but apparently they made 150 or so million pounds

which for a 102 people studio it's insane

and they still said it was a loss

Even tho they have 1 office / dev studio and they sold more copies than your average indie

And people saying cheaters dont make them money by purchasing accounts is trippin

It's also the main reason why banned folk , like streamers for example , can just buy another new account and play

And BSG does not see it as alting

There was also another tinfoil hat theory that BSG actually hardware bans a cheater after 2-3 normal bans

TO maximise the accounts purchased, but this is just what i read / heard

I wouldnt put it below them tho

[soft coral]

My teacher wrote LL1 on the board and my brain instantly thinks of loyalty level 1

Man this wave system was such a great idea

[soft coral]

[proven chasm]

[hallow stream]

he does not know about the no refunds policy, you pay us double that bsg and nikita go by

Ngl im thinking abt refunding the game every day I could just say that the game is a russian scam product and the reason I have not used it until now is because I was too busy and just get a free refund but thats too scummy even for me

Therefore it will sit and rot

[vivid dawn]

reeeeee

lol imagine i could refund the gifted EoD

Thats like one whole day of work

ok nah i lied

its half a day of work

[rich venture]

Could someone summarise what's happened question mark

[vivid dawn]

Arena is a full price F2P with shitty mechanics that will allow a ton of Microtransactions if they keep it

[rich venture]

:D

[soft coral]

if they have microtransactions

the people who think bsg sell cheats

will say that they added that to fund the making of cheats

[stark torrent]

Arena is out but not really , they are giving acess to it in waves but obviously it's too slow and everyone wants to play etc

Meanwhile streamers and shit play and they make content but they also put salt on the wound to the community that waits to get acess for 3 days now

it Also doenst help that apparently , some people that got the game today for example got in before people that had eod since 2017 etc

A shit fest

[strong hinge]

what was even the point of the wave system

have their servers suffer the stress in waves instead of all at once?

[soft coral]

The point was because their servers clearly can't take it

[stark torrent]

Streamers are literally thinking on buying second accounts for Arena in order to reset their mmr so if they grind a new loadout tree they dont get matched against Altyn sweats and shit cause the RANK STAYS NO MATTER WHAT LOADOUT U PICK

THIS IS SO CRINGE

[earnest timber]

I got access

Be more patient

[real solstice]

BSG is one of the game devs of all time

[stark torrent]

some are defo exagerating , but the wave thingie gets bullshity , i am hoping they end by weekend

or they fucked up big time

10% of 106.522 is not 11.288

alo

[compact knoll]

it probably also counts the preset

[obsidian pendant]

Ye AND they should be there's no way you don't reward your best & first customers with a prioritary access when it comes to EFTA

pure non sense

[stark torrent]

they realise the ppl who buy it can refund it

so thats why

ppl who got eod in 2017 cant refund shit

ripbozos

[obsidian pendant]

XD

[stark torrent]

enjoy it man , give us ur input

Tarkov arena will get the league treatment

there will be sites for smurf accounts with good MMR and streamers will get sponsored by them

[stark torrent]

@soft coral

the last sentence

Go to the EFT:Arena tab in the BSG Launcher. The status "Soon" means that you will be granted access to Escape from Tarkov: Arena soon.

bro like i cant comprehend

If it shows soon you will get acess to game soon

Ok

Thanks for clarifying what soon means

[velvet axle]

Man I'm actually on the Soon list

And I'm not even into Arena

EOD most costly mistake of my life

[earnest timber]

People are so impatient, surely they have better things to do than to wait for an email

[stark torrent]

well you cant blame them, i want to try it out too

im ok with waiting i guess, but if my holiday passes and i still dont get it now that i have free time

then i rly dont give a flying fuck if i am impatient or not

they should just shut the fuck up next time and not make stupid statements that riled up the whole hive

nikita saying , eod will get it by time bla bla fucked it up

should have just said he gives EoD users in waves , tahts it

[earnest timber]

BSG says a lot of things

[stark torrent]

now it made the fucking worms literally do the Aztec Calendar of EoD users to see which year on which hour on which minute gets it

these comments do make me laugh tho

chil down bro

[compact knoll]

wait till january comes

[stark torrent]

when i go back to work , yes

best time to play arena

[compact knoll]

and everybody will be sending death thearts to stalker 2 devs

CMON MAN WHERE STALKER 2

[stark torrent]

yeah i know

wait till it gets delayed again or shit cause someone clogged their office toielt and it overflowed , destroying the servers

[compact knoll]

my buddy is scared to do a pmc with me

[compact knoll]

i have no idea what you are talking about

[high pilot]

the event

[compact knoll]

no idea

havent played it

[stark torrent]

you only get the poison if u play customs, he is not contagious lol

[high pilot]

have you just been waiting fort arena?

[high pilot]

alright then lol

[stark torrent]

you can get the antitoxin from therapist barter

to remove the poison but going back to customs will give it back

[wintry ridge]

Real?

I thought u only got 1 from completing the event

[compact knoll]

@stark torrent man what a fucking joke

im having 40 fps

its the same as tarkov

[soft coral]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

It makes sense for "lore" purposes

but its still lazy design

very lazy in fact

[lyric cairn]

I'm sure the competitive scene will love 70fps on state-of-the-art hardware

[uncut ruin]

when you win more rounds and have more "style points" but lose the tournament

[lyric cairn]

ItS a BeTa

I can see the reddit thread, already:

"To win in Arena, all you have to do is send a packet to the server with the game's 'winner' function, saying you're the winner, and whenever the game ends, you'll win no matter what the actual score is"

[compact knoll]

the guy is fucking cheating

lul

surely there arent any cheats in arena

surely i cany buy them

for 1800 roubles a month

[uncut ruin]

the dementia kicking in so hard i see the shadow people

[compact knoll]

20 dollaro doos

im having 30 - 40 fps

gtx 960 i5-11400f 24gb ram 1650x1080 monitor

i have more fps in normal tarkov

i would rather play gamma

more fps and better graphic

ram: 8gb
recommended: 4 core processor with 3.2 ghz
gpu: dx11 compatible
Vram:2gb
ram:16gb

if the settings were real

i could run it on max settings

but im getting 30 fps

what a fucking joke man

[wintry ridge]

yep

pestily said that uhh

its prolly from shit optimization

[compact knoll]

you can already buy cheats for it btw

20 dollaro doos

and i saw at least one cheater

[wintry ridge]

its just reskinned eft so it doesn't surprise me

same code and all

[compact knoll]

the fps is afucking joke

i wont be suprised if there is a fucking miner

[wintry ridge]

no you dont understand

they HAVE to render the 10 npcs with full kit at all times

the deathsquad has to be fully rendered at all times or else uhmmm

[compact knoll]

15 HITS BRO

15

15

15

15

5.45 ps

is he made of fucknig titanium

[frosty basalt]

5.45 lol

Might as well be BB pellets

[compact knoll]

even then, they have to be full 4k models

to have that low of fps

shit not even 4k

16k

[wintry ridge]

@compact knoll what gun u using

ak 545?

good luck buddy

[compact knoll]

you have to use shit guns

to get better ones

to get mutant

you have to use the fucking revolver shotgun

you gotta go thru 5 kits

of shotguns

[wintry ridge]

[compact knoll]

to get the mutant

makes no sence

[wintry ridge]

yeah the tiers are dogshit

[compact knoll]

i wont be suprised

if they render all the spectators

[wintry ridge]

theyre wiping progress for it in 2 weeks anyways so ehh

good luck

[compact knoll]

like legit with all models

in 4k

or some shit

or if the map is located in like shorelin

and they render the entire map

sorry what?

@wintry ridge

@stark torrent

[wintry ridge]

so you can just afk each match and get basically the same xp

since they obv dont calculate this shit right

[stark torrent]

Ah i see u enjoy arena

-100k and no xp

[vivid dawn]

Means they render them which is absolutely dumb

[wintry ridge]

one of the most regarded things ive seen so far

"you cant shoot the crowd, even tho we made em shootable, if you accidentally shoot em while spraying down a guy, its no xp for you"

[soft coral]

it has begun already

[earnest timber]

264 hp

[soft coral]

half hp

[earnest timber]

Every kit needs a painkiller and NO helmets

And Comtac 4 for consistent audio for all

[wintry ridge]

honestly

just give em all morphine and comtac 4

no face shields

for the love of god

so u can actually headshot people with snipers in the game mode that's fully CQB

and not have it just bounce off

[vivid dawn]

Like rolling out a game in waves that people already payed for and still are paying for is the dumbest thing since the invention of a Roomba with a Claymore on top

[stark torrent]

ye snipers should always have good pen ammo

like giving an m700 with bcp fmj is cringe

the guy only gets to shoot once probably and a lvl 4 faceshield bounces it

[wintry ridge]

Also the sv98 should have a variable optic

Not the fucking 4x with a red dot ontop

[stark torrent]

POV : What people do while waiting for Arena email

[soft coral]

thats xinlaopei ming ching

I know him

[wintry ridge]

[uncut ruin]

Source is tarkin on yt

Great vids

[stark torrent]

Lvl 1 arena user : hihi , i cant wait to play arena hiih , i will take it slow with a easy kit before i get better ones hihi

Ivan Uzbekistan that played for 2 days straight after he got his email code :

And yes , they will both get matched togheter on the opposite teams , rip Timmy

[white void]

that will not save him.

[uncut ruin]

You get matched based on ranked points lol

But it was an oversight to have non-ranked locked

Since that's where you're mostly gonna grind exp for kits

[dapper grotto]

still no email

[hollow haven]

When did you buy the game?

[dapper grotto]

eod 2021

[hollow haven]

Well my friend is mid 2020 and still no acces

[dapper grotto]

[hollow haven]

I bet 2021 is either 22/23 Dec

[stark torrent]

they kinda stopped going after time, there are folks that got it and some didnt

i think somwhere halfway their bot or whatever gave access scrambled whole things

apparently they were not supposed to give arena access to people who bought arena now , as a seaprate game

it was a bug / mistake

( i dont think so but whatever )

[dapper grotto]

[stark torrent]

aye thank you for the Russian announcement

We are aware of the issues with the extended matchmaking time in EFT: Arena and are currently working on resolving them. Thank you for your understanding.

thank you , how do we fix the Soon play button tho

[wintry ridge]

russian announcement on US language launcher

not even a google translate

yeesh

[soft coral]

like back in the day

where text in game would be in russian

it has happened many many times in the past

[soft coral]

the hardcore experience

you die once , can't play anymore

buy new arena copy

[earnest timber]

Interestingly, there was an upcoming game with this same concept. You can imagine how successful that idea was

A billion gp coins for christmas

[uncut ruin]

i mean we're still gonna get something

[wintry ridge]

Yeah I guess

Last time it was like 2 moonshine and a labs card case

[uncut ruin]

but too many people complain about too many things if they do something major

[wintry ridge]

People complain either way

[uncut ruin]

give huge rewards at the start of wipe and people'll complain you're ruining early game (the best part)

it happened last time

[wintry ridge]

Too much is fun because then you get to kill the noobs that brought in the Christmas kit

Yeah I guess, but early wipe is barely a week and a half anyways

For streamers and no lifers

After that ur up against dudes with m856a1 in socom m4's while ur still running a pp19 with pst

Thank you for the email BSG

Mortii si ranitii matii

[stark torrent]

[dapper grotto]

i'm convinced the game will wipe before i get my email

[frosty basalt]

Same

[stark torrent]

definetely

i honestly think they will send emails before the wipe so everyone starts again on even ground

apparently axel told glorious that arena will wipe too right now , they are just testing thigns

[dapper grotto]

imagine the last wave hits before wipe day

[hollow haven]

Yeah Axel said multiple times that bsg told him that arena will eventually wipe

The thing is can we trust bsg?

[stark torrent]

Honestly they should wipe cause the matchmaker is fucked rn

The thing is they need to fix the matchmaker before they reset everyone otherwise its gonna be the same shit

[hollow haven]

Yeah the mm is bullshit but I don't think that a wipe is needed

If they add a gear score mm the game is mostly fixed

Hitreg/netcode is not that good but for the most part the game is ok

[real solstice]

Yeowch!

Your Honor, It's just a bit of Blender trickery.
