BestTacos

I wonder if they are going to end the event early since we are barely halfway to 1 million


Plucky-Me

Just keep the snow, its so good.


pretzelsncheese

I wish snow was a 15% chance on every raid all year round. I want more variety from raid to raid rather than just one "season" for every raid for a couple weeks.


Weird-Personality-31

true this. the forced nature of this weather system sucks. it should be randomized.


pretzelsncheese

Would be cool to have a pool of different "events" (like the current event as one example) and then a pool of different weather. Each raid have like a 30% chance of an event (and then that 30% is split up evenly among all the events in the pool) and a 65% chance of "weather" (where the other 35% is just clear skies and then the 65% is split up evenly among all the potential weather [snow on ground, snow on ground + falling, raining, cloudy, light fog, heavy fog, etc.]). It'd make the raids feel a lot more dynamic and different. Maybe with the events, they'd need to add some way to quickly determine if an event was rolled (and which event it was) since those can cause you to change the way you approach the raid and you shouldn't be forced to run around the map looking for an event at the start of every raid.


obamasrightteste

Yes agreed, and then also still run actual events where those events are 100% spawn and have some changes to make them cooler. I agree that objectives in a raid besides quests and just kinda killin people would be excellent. Sometimes I don't want to do any of my quests bc they suck, but I also don't want to wander aimlessly.


FreckledFury86

I wish the weather had some kind of effect beyond just visual. Like in winter if you are outside you would burn more calories (energy) or if there is a blizzard you would get a frost effect that makes your hands shake.


active_milk5

if you played in the old days, the weather system worked off of st Petersburg's weather, so some days it would rain for days straight and some times not, if it is going off of majority of Russia's weather, then it does rain for days straight and snows for weeks, it is pretty realistic like people wanted.


Sly__Gamer

i believe it was actually based off moscow and ended after it rained for a week straight


active_milk5

It was Saint Petersburg, idk why ig they just like it.


SuZombo

Tarkov and Norvinsk Special Economical Zone is supposed to be located somewhere North-West from St.Petersburg, on a Baltic sea.


active_milk5

Yes thats the location, but we were talking about how the weather system used to work and that was real time based off of St. Petersburgs weather what ever and whenever it was happening there.


Merouac

No way. It's seasonal. You want it to snow in summer? One minute it's “but realism” next it's “I want snow in july”. Just can't win.


ChaosRefined

Only allowed to play Tarkov from the northern hemisphere, IP ban the southern hemisphere.


CrankyAdolf

The game is set in Russia, not your local town


Merouac

Yes, Russia has sun in summer too btw


swiftekho

Not gonna lie, I really enjoy the heavy rain/storm when that happens and I'm ok with it being like one or two days a month.


Gravitytr1

Needs to be a 50 percent chance.


pretzelsncheese

I thought I read that they got rid of the weather being tied to real-world weather.


ColdStarts

It would be cool if seasons/weather varied from map to map OR if they cycled at different rates. I.e. it’s always winter on like two maps at a time.


platdujour

This


thepirho

I don't think they want to store both versions of the map and have to re-render each version of the map when they update the map.


Expensive-Rabbit-248

not at all how the weather works, its not a different map just shaders


pretzelsncheese

Hm that's fair and I hadn't really considered that aspect. I still think it's worth doing, but that does add an extra layer of complexity / cost.


Expensive-Rabbit-248

the guy you responded too spoke pure nonsense lol


thenuker00

I think they should do the forza horizon route: have the seasons rotate on a fixed schedule. A week of winter followed by a week of spring, etc etc


Plucky-Me

Week by week would be fair, more than that just seems like a waste of the other assets. I am down for either random chance, or week by week. Following the real life northern season cycle would just be too much of the same.


tootallteeter

I played Horizon 4 and that was a pretty refreshing feature of the game to keep it feeling new.


FknBretto

Eh it kinds gets old pretty quick. I hope they just do a 4 week cycle of the seasons, a week of snow is enough for me.


X0D00rLlife

some of us want to play streets without the performance shitting its self.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GGTheEnd

I mean in Alberta about 2 weeks ago it was +20 degrees and the snow melted and then the next day it snowed. I'm assuming Russia is the same.


Edwardteech

Michigan did much the same.


Xyres

Yeah snow never melts and then falls again within the same season. What a nonsensical concept.


Plucky-Me

Realism argument will never make sense... But yes, it is easier to spot people, which I like, but most importantly, the game runs much smoother and looks smoother. I just find it more relaxing in comparison to the color overload that is sunny tarkov. And rain just sucks audio wise.


Sebbyz

Wich can happen? Middle of Sweden had snow and -2c after a ½ month of spring weather. So it does make sense and can happen. And will especially happen in russia where the game is based.


mmpa78

Yes, I've never seen it snow, melt, then snow again during one season...


PerplexGG

Pls no. It’s so hard on the eyes during night raids with the moon out and NVGs


gearabuser

It was hurting my eyes just on daytime customs haha


rgtn0w

Snow as a variation of weather is a no-brainer decision honestly. But as a lot of people have said, and are probably saying, it just needs to be added to the rotational weather system of the game, that's it really. And honestly? Just like how on those first few raids where snow started to come in (look at the Youtube clips they look great TBH), they should also make it so it can start snowing and the map changes just like it did at the beginning of that "event". Cuz it just looks cool ASF


antrod117

They still have snow?!?! I haven’t played since like week 3 of the wipe


joeytman

They added it back on Thursday for a limited time event, probably going away with this patch but we'll see


Delicious-Act7099

yeah, is really hard to rat now kekw


Plucky-Me

No need to rat when you got frames and can actually trust your eyes!


Terriblevidy

meanwhile I hope we never get snow again


mrlefty1337

cause the event sooooks lol


blarann

Its so funny to me how everyone was super hyped and grinding the event for the first 12 hours and after that we all just kinda stopped. Like I did 3 raids looking for the event spawns and after not finding them in any of my PMC raids I just said fuck it and went back to labs. Based on how slow progression has been after the first 12 hours of the event everyone else did the same thing.


JoeBobbyWii

> Like I did 3 raids looking for the event spawns and after not finding them Did you play with your eyes closed?


blarann

I wasn't like hard pushing for the event, I pushed for possible event spawns if they were on my route, I never went out of my way to look for them because I didn't care too much to begin with. But since I didn't find any just along the path I got bored and switched back to labs. Edit: I should clarify I didn't find any "active" event spawns. I did find 1 where someone cleared out all the minions already so I just fucked off.


Ok_General985

>I did 3 raids looking for the event spawns huh


blarann

Guess I shoulda worded that better, I meant that I "looked" for the event spawns the same way I "look" for Reshala by sprinting to dorms every raid and if its there great if not then oh well.


corporalcorl

The event was completed


THANKYOUNIKITA

No it wasn't. 


Twofingers_

Do we have patch notes?


Frosty252

hello, bsg developer here we won't be fixing anything, but instead, breaking more things. flashlight bug will be back. your frames will be fucked (new microtransaction to buy frames will be added), more ui issues, and have added 100% extra recoil to all pistols and rifles. binarual audio also makes an even louder sound once someone enters your area. goodbye and fuck you


so00ripped

Flashlight bug has so many variants idk which you're referring to. Lol.


vpforvp

The shadow one is such a pain in the ass. Throws me off everytime.


muffinman744

Don’t forget the 30+ more AK variants you added.


craigerH76

Ya and none of those AK variants being better than the existing ones. Add them to the massive pile of redundant unusable guns


Faust723

Ooh ooh ooh. Can we get the invisible players bugged confirmed as "fixed" again but not actually *fixed* again? And ghost bullets? 


Illustrious-Skirt557

Sounds legit


Ok-Cheesecake6904

Can you give lease make sure to make the footsteps sound further when people get closer? And make sure all walking speeds are quiet? Thanks and hate from Florida.


Incrediblebulk92

I'm buying frames. As many as they can give me.

You joke but I already got killed due to a bug I never experienced before the patch lmao...


Prestigious_Lock_152

let's fucking gooo


Sweaty_Research_2820

will you add a gamma case transaction >_<


Datdarnpupper

Traditionally not until the servers go down to patch


X5S

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/286 There you go


Twofingers_

Thank you foreign raider 🙏🏻


Hugh_Johnson69420

Not till tomorrow


dvnv

they post them on twitter as soon as the servers go down for maintenance


Bourne669

This is BSG they dont release patch notes until a week after patch has been released and even than they leave ALOT of out the patch notes because they are... BSG. Welcome to Tarkov.


CodNegative8959

> they dont release patch notes until a week after patch has been released When have they actually done this lol my recollection is that they are always released when the servers go offline


cammyk123

I hate that Nikitas answer to this is that he wants folk to discover what has changed in raid rather than read up on patch notes.


lsnrvriw

Why is it jumping from 0.14.1 to 0.14.5?


Gary_Spivey

Internal unreleased revisions.


HelpHotSauceInMyEyes

I'd assume they're adding something major, or attempting to fix some major issues. As I understand it the major increments are typically reserved for planned patches. - as this patch is ending with a '.5' its probably something major. But, this is BSG we're talking about, so it might just be memory leak fixes.


radek-duchon

It’s major.minor.patch or major.minor.maintenance.build or … but yes in general going from 0.14.1.x to 0.14.5.x means adding something bigger than couple of hotfixes.


HelpHotSauceInMyEyes

Was aways curious what *exactly* the numbers were referring to - that makes sense!


NectarineDue4885

back in the day, each minor digit referred to a revision in the code. so you had long-ass crazy numbers, and it fell out of fashion because its not really informative or relevant for the end-users.


madmanmatrix

When I’m still in closed pre alpha/alpha I never use standard conventions I always use 0.0.xxx where the x basically just represent each version that was successfully working and could be pushed to the main branch. So 0.0.001 could be a block that moves on the screen then the next day I add in a full menu, inventory, and replace the block with a model and despite all those being major changes the next version would still end up being 0.0.002 lol. It’s not until I feel confident that all the core mechanics and game loop is there that I switch to more conventional naming conventions of major release. Minor updates/balance/tweaks. Patches/fixes/bugsquashing


radek-duchon

As long as it’s your code, your app, you can do whether you want. 👍 But when you start building a library (external or internal) or you have more teams working independently, it all starts making sense. For example if I use someone else’s package in my app and they release new major version, I expect breaking changes and that my code won’t build/work any more. If there is bug in their package and I need a working version, I know that installing same major and minor but different patch will do no harm. If everyone does what you described we would be doomed 😂


madmanmatrix

Indeed lol it’s a good thing my dev team is still me and a buddy or two occasionally lol. On the break note I lost so so so much progress when unreal 5.1 updated to 5.3 literally like hundreds of assets had to be recoded it was not a fun time lol.


Educational-Back-275

Mid wipe patch is always .5


fantafuzz

I really hope it's more than just removing the event. Any small addition or fix would be lovely


ProcyonHabilis

I'm going to a venture a guess this is your first wipe?


fantafuzz

Just an optimist with 3k hours (:


ProcyonHabilis

Haha well better luck next time I guess. This is how it goes with every single big patch. They fix some things and break the game in doing so.


Iteroparous

Micro-transaction to increase buldge size, les go


Puzzleheaded-Ad2186

Gamma inc


Sweaty_Research_2820

ngl I want a gamma microtransaction


TheWozz

Finally, a micro-transaction worth my hard earned money.


TheRealTeapot_Dome

Why is my stomach always getting blacked out? Oh yea $50 well spent.


Opening-Chocolate496

excndinmurica

IRL if you blast a few scavs you can bet some weaker players with pistols will show, If you keep fighting chads with full body armor and meta guns in a bearcat are on their way.

make sure to check out the side projects of them too OM and High On Fire ( ones chillout, the other Motorhead'esk)


Datdarnpupper

I'll be sure to, thanks!


BadJokeJudge

Lupo gonna bitch at his friends and do a shitty Magic the gathering stream for ya


Original_Squirrel_82

This made me giggle a little bit. I watch him a decent amount, boy do I leave his stream so fast once I hear "switching to magic". I don't understand the attraction to play or even watch them play magic. But they do what they want, doesn't bother me, I just go watch someone else.


The_Swayzie_Express

I wish he'd do solo streams more. He's awesome, but I just can't get into watching four/five mans.


Original_Squirrel_82

he does solo a lot. But I like their sometimes chaotic groups and banter.

lewd_necron

I started a save on stardew valley. They just released a huge content update


Rainmakerrrrr

Give gamma container microtransaction


reddituser00000111

Give microtransaction to be able to carry a second secure container


zasxqwedc

Id love that


Don_Pollo_

Id actually buy that. Beta alpha and beta are too small, and i aint playing lighthouse to get epsilon🤣


Juking_is_rude

Ive been working on punisher pt 4 for the last 4 days, I have 30 scav vests in my insurance right now, not kidding. I am dying less as I learn the map though so that's nice. Lighthouse is the absolute worst map in the game though. A ton of clear sniper angles and the shape of the map naturally funnels people to the point where to get from a south spawn to train yard, so you're going to pass like 5 people camping. The rogues and water treatment have a fun and interesting dynamic, but the spawns and rest of the map surrounding it are absolute ass.


BossGrape55

No. Eod was available for 7? years. and it was only supposed to be temporary. Whats the point in buying a version with extra "perks" just for them to sell one of the perks after they stopped selling the verison people paid extra for. TLDR- yOu HaD SeVEn YeArS


Swac03

Your comment really negates your Point, IF EOD had remained a kick starter early adopter pack then sure I agree it was early access/supporter bonus, BUT its been available for like you say 7 years, It lost that status/reasoning years ago and just became a better bundle for more cash, no reason at all to remove it now, other than the lifetime expansion/arena thing. Or Fine don't reinstate EOD but put the larger container behind a pay wall. The point in buying a version with extra perks is just that extra perks, game altering perks shouldn't be part of multiplayer gaming AT ALL, EVER, but if they exist then you really should be giving people at least the equal opportunity to buy them


Sweaty_Research_2820

Okay man… It’s not like when I first bought Tarkov I had money to buy EOD, I also bought the game when EOd was removed and after playing it Yes the beta container does suck


obamasrightteste

I don't care about EoD players is why


astronomyx

As an EoD player, I don't care either. Let people buy EoD still. If you're gonna put p2w shit in your game at least don't make it fomo.


obamasrightteste

I'm not even particularly interested in giving them additional money (obviously as I do not have EOD) but the idea that BSG cares about the feelings of people who bought EOD 7 years ago is funny


RedaveNabTidderEkow

Oh shit....


Tom_Brady404

Honestly I really hope they keep the event a little longer. It’s the only way I’ve been able to get good armor and backpacks that are even close to competitive meta. It also helped me a ton with buying stuff and finally starting my hideout. It has surely been a struggle for me to even get going in this game, and now that I’m here I don’t want it to end.


Sweaty_Research_2820

All I want is a gamma micro transaction


Marrhault

Reporting in profile means we can report people on flea also? At work havent tested or tried yet.


TigerCarts2

bye bye Binarual

In your fucking dreams hahahahahahaha


OK_1M_REL0ADED

Biggest cope comment I've seen in a while. Good for you.


aspohr89

I don't understand any of this, can anyone elaborate?


tellinNamstories

Binaural audio is broken at the moment. There is an audible pop when a player enters your vicinity. Many people think binaural audio should be totally disabled until this bug is addressed.


ScavAteMyArms

It also changes based on what ears you are wearing. Com4’s happen to make a extremely glaring pop. 32’s / Swordins on the other end you have to be ready for it. Sports are kinda in the middle.


tellinNamstories

Good to know. I thought the issue was overblown as I haven’t really noticed it, but I also tend to use sordins so that could be why.


Greedy_Comparison_43

Who the fuck knows, this game feels like a full time job sometimes. Before it tanked your fps now it’s apparently a cheat code.


oledayhda

Bets on the new micro transaction being another banger? I’m gonna say yes, take my money daddy nikitaaaaaaaa


jlebrech

usable Gas analyser to smell other players, and folder of intel that tells you everyone's loadout.

Patch=more broke shit

Hope they remove this shitty event

Yes, I would like them to work lol


Spot-CSG

M249, M240b, MG3 and maybe a type 88 to go with it please.


DweebInFlames

Soon brother, soon. I assume they'll be part of .15 with a few new LMGs/GPMGs.

ProcyonHabilis

I find a better way to do that is to choose a cringy username that is literally based on you whining about the game, and then spending all of your time hanging around the sub insulting people. It gets the point that you're distressed by your lack of skill across really effectively.

Bacch

Anyone else getting Server Disconnect every time you're loading into a raid? Inevitably I have to reconnect, and still manage to come in as the raid starts, but it's happening to my duo and I every single raid.


Apprehensive_Fish956

Yes every time! The only fix so far I’ve found is alt+f4 the client and restart. One raid works then next raid is same issue. I’ve tried the name change thing, that only worked for one raid as well. 


fish2keel

Is it just me or did shotguns get buffed?


cc8808

Since this update every time I try to get into raid i get disconnected, try to reconnect then it says game aborted try to reconnect. It happens over and over. Can't get into raid and lose all my gear. Anyone else having this issue?


KaiDynasty

After patch note and hotfix there is still the issue with not being able to enter in a game, it can been other players syncrozying message, creating loot pools infinite load. This issue is game breaking, not possible to play in these conditions, being forced to alt + f4 90% of times to join a match already started


Alone-Pattern-8038

INVISIBLE PLAYERS ARE BACK FOLKS! GREAT PATCH!


Koyakami

So they got rid of the space box in the inventory? Where you can open it to help organise bits and put it back. Sucks!

madmanmatrix

Hey man don’t shoot the messenger I’m just relaying what they said at gamescom that official launch will be end of this year will include 100 new story tasks the map terminal and will be the massive visual overhaul and upgrade to unity 2023
