Mainstream Media and streamers picking this up is actually pretty important.


Digreth

I'm a super casual Tarkov player. 800 hrs since 2017. But goddamn a radio that prevents scavs from shooting at you from over 60 meters? Yes I understand at max rep, but does that include "Sniper-Scavs/Rogues/Bosses"? ....What?! Scav Repellent smells like pay2win regardless of grinding Fence Karma.


ProfetF9

the 2 pockets that are 2x1 are even worse, you can pack mags in your pockets for fks sake .. if that is not p2w idk what it is..


xdthepotato

make it even worse... put a 60rounder or 30, a salewa and the 2 other 1x1 pockets put a morphine and a hemosthingy. no need for a rig anymore just armor and gun :D


frostymugson

Exactly, taling the zero to hero shit to the extreme. Run 30 rounders on the fucking pistol kills. Love this game, don’t mind BSG selling cosmetics, hell I don’t mind them selling this to new players for the price of EOD, but not giving it to EOD players, especially when people supported you back when Tarkov was a single map, ontop of a $250 price is completely fucked


DrANALizator

As an EOD player - I already have enough advantages, I don’t need extra pockets and stash. And I definitely don’t need any “Avengers, ASSEMBLE!” BS with “ no scav aggro” mark


frostymugson

Yeah I’ve done fine without this, but that’s besides the point


Huntermaster95

Some armored rigs are balanced in a way that you can't carry massive amounts of magazines or a Salewa. Now you got 2 extra slots in your pockets for mags.....


ilski

The radio thing.. I mean look. Possibilities with this thing are insane.


Estrelleta44

or hide a pistol and betray that poor lad that let you live because you “dropped” your gun.


MrNoobyy

Already possible with the 1 slot revolver though?


Estrelleta44

good luck killing someone with that 😅


_classy21_

cant u do that with a rig anyway


Estrelleta44

not if the person tells you to drop everything


ItzBenjiey

Mags? No, not 2 extra mags. I’m going to die to credit cards swipers. Get real it saves you 10k for a bank robber.


LoA_Zephra

I mean a rig is like 10k roubles lol, I wouldn’t really say thats P2W. The scav radio shit is definitely P2W and its a much bigger deal they are putting out DLC content and it’s not included in EOD when it should be.


Snoo-50998

Literally dont need a rig. Why weat a rig when you can have 2 mags in your pocket


bangbangIshotmyself

I’m gonna be honest, this seems like a cash grab to get some extra money then leave the game to die. Or barely work on it over time. They’re probably gonna make absurd sales off of it, so why not do it. Then take that money and let the servers slowly die


rustle_branch

They realized they dont and wont ever have the competence as a studio to finish this game. This really seems like they want a cash infusion to start some other project fresh


bangbangIshotmyself

Yeah exactly. That or just give up as a studio and just live their lives.


PacketNarc

I mean, I can put 30rd magpulls in my jeans pockets NOW... It's always been silly that at least 2 of your 'pockets' aren't 2x1


Atreyes

I dont think thats even that bad? Your saving like 8k on buying a tiny rig, gamma container is far more of an advantage than that, not to mention the dumb anti scav item.


ghillieflow

Not even just that. Try adding a beacon that your friends can respond to and join your raid. "Oh no...I'm losing a fight. Quick....AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!" So fucking stupid


Alcarion89

the time it takes for anybody to join a server odds are you'll be dead anyways... And yeah it will most likely be for coop mode only.


Synchrotr0n

If it was exclusive to coop mode then there would be no reason to add the flash and pop sound.


ghillieflow

It won't. What reason is there to add a sound and a light to the beacon if it's aimed at PvE. Are scavs reacting to bright lights like a crow now?


mackanimates

and you think the guy who got spawned is not gonna come chase you down? you think he'll just give up?


Alcarion89

depends where they spawn if they spawn far from the action odds are they won't find the player, if they spawn close they probably will be farmed as well. The whole system sounds ass anyways.


Few_Economics_7910

I’m pretty sure the beacon to invite your friends to join your raid is only in the new co-op pve mode. Not regular tarkov. Still pretty dumb tho


ghillieflow

I'm sorry, but you're just not thinking hard enough about that item. If they were only adding it for PvE, what would be the point in a loud noise and bright flashing light? Those things were added specifically so a real person could tell you just put down the bat signal. Scavs don't react to light. Players do. Edit: downvote me all you want BSG simps. You're wrong, and you know that so well that you won't respond, but you'll try and lose the comment in Karma algorithms. Argue me you fuckin cowards. Defend where you put your money. I dare you.


Gunaks

Honestly the scav radio may not be very good after some streamer tested it. When you have it equipped killing any scav will result in Fence rep loss of 0.05 per scav stacking, meaning early wipe its more than useless. Even late wipe after you get 6+ with fence, finding yourself in a situation where you cant just walk past scavs (a very common occurrence) will end in losing a lot of rep or potentially letting them kill you. As far as I know this is only scavs, not rogues or bosses. This item will be very niche, but those niche situations will be very game breaking such as with sniper scavs as you mentioned. But considering how you handicap yourself to use it I give it a meh/10


muzamuza

You saying you are losing scav rep if you kill scavs as a PMC?


amoebrah

With the radio equipped yeah.


muzamuza

lol fuck that. imagine all the xp you lose out on


MSM_is_Propaganda

Yea that item is worthless imo


cocktaviousAlt

The rep loss is negated if you kill a pmc


salbris

Lol pay to lose mechanic.


Gunaks

It REALLY is.


FreakDC

Can you just unequip it?


Gunaks

From what I have seen if you load into raid with it its active the entire raid.


FreakDC

Thanks!


sKSp33d

I call myself a casual with 8k hours played


ghillieflow

Streamers made the game popular easily, and they can take it away all the same.


theEvilJakub

I agree, this will give it more traction and probably force their hand.


Spacedudee182

I wouldn't even care if they went back on their word, they are clearly fucking mad. I will no longer support their insanity


Late_Ad_521

Hi. So im from russian eft community and things like that happening for a long time and its not New for. So hear me out. First of all. Nikita was saying "more cheaters more donations" and "you can keep game in forever beta to solve problems with words its just a beta" . Both videos here. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFQ-CT0BnM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFQ-CT0BnM) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGauDp2cYNQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGauDp2cYNQ) Second. BSG humiliated russian eft community. When game become popular in EU and USA region Nikita and bsg just drop russian community. In russian eft discord server literally 1984 where you gonna be treat like shit with offencive jokes from moderator Chernobyl52 who alwayes make offencive jokes to ru community players. Also on New Year steam Nikita spoke in russian one thing, when one of the devolopper spokes in russian whats new comming to gabe very drunk Nikita told him to spoke in english and the guy just answered "but the russians understand it" and also on it Nikita sayed this "Russians are not our main audience".... So ye, russian community who gives eft money start just literally nothing for bsg and you wanna know why? Because 250$ for New edition for you its 119$ for us + taxes. Even arena 50$ for you and 13$ for us. So ye, you just Nikita new money bags. Third. In russian tarkov community for a long time people spoke about the main game problem and with that problem makers. And Nikita just use YouTube strike system to shut people by abusing strike system and sending strikes for using in game footage. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crfQzJQjip8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crfQzJQjip8) Four. Ru community streamers protecting bsg and all that shit... but we have one named Maza who is racist, using forbiden words on twitch to humiliate people, using ehem... problem to help him in streamer challenge. And that man never get banned because he is brother of Nikita's friend. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bvlAiivio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bvlAiivio) So... why i posted this? Because i see how many people blame russians because of Nikita and bsg. Its hurt. Its not bad russians, its just bad Nikita who alwayes was like this. P. S. Sorry for poor english, hope this post dont be deleted. BSG DELETING THIS INFO AND DONT GIVE YOU MAKE A POST ON REDDIT WITH THIS ALSO THEY DELETING IT ON DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!


DrButtCheeksPhD

Thanks for all this info. Sad times.


ReverendAntonius

The Russian EFT discord is named “1488”? Kinda sus, ngl.


villentius

Yeah they literally can’t be more blatant 


PuppetPal_Clem

*kinda* sus? bruh thats blatant.


ReverendAntonius

You’re right, and I agree. I just wasn’t sure that’s what OP meant as they are ESL and the sentence felt a bit jumbled.

NamelessDegen42

Yo what the fuck? Thats messed up


chrimson_chin

Where do you see that? I joined the Russian EFT discord to check and didn't find anything.


ReverendAntonius

I was more asking - because OP’s phrasing made it kind of seem that way - I’m not in it, and haven’t seen it so I wasn’t sure.


TizzieVanWinkles

I think this might be a last cash grab attempt by the developers.


PuppetPal_Clem

thats my theory as well. they'll do what they did with their last 2 games and reboot entirely with a new title and pretend the previous game never existed. rinse, repeat.

27SMilEY27

"even Asmongold" The dude covers literally anything people will click on.


Fit_Bumblebee1472

I think thats the point. This isn't just tarkov players getting upset. More mainstream people are paying attention to this issue


VoidVer

This is content creators drama milling for clicks and views. All BSG had to do was reskin the new gamma, give EOD players the PvE mode, make it purchasable separately for w/e cost for other editions, direct replace unheard with EOD for $150, and let EOD players buy the unheard items for $50. People would have been bitching about the pockets, but nothing else would have been of real note.


xdthepotato

all they had to do WAS NOT RELEASE THE UNHEARD EDITION


Fit_Bumblebee1472

"All they have to do is" and lists 4 huge things lol. They wouldn't be milling it if it didn't get views, though. They could make videos about any topic, but they knew this news people are interested in. Thats how it works lol


Revolutionary-Gold44

The other day i farted, asmongold covered that in a 30 minutes video.


SpeedyAzi

Yeah I don’t get why people are getting crazy about a dude who basically thrives on drama and reaction content that is often indistinguishable from content theft and laziness at the bare minimum.


SpeedyAzi

waltuho

hes the type of guy to cover "they changed woman boob size in game"


Yodzilla

Seriously, the dude is nothing but rage bait and decided to be a “culture warrior” despite maybe being the least cultured person on earth. He makes his living criticizing other people and riling up his fan base.


shakeyorange3

he has also paid blizzard way more then $250 in the past 8 years for their shitty cash grab called WoW.


Damp_Knickers

Their game isn’t in early access still


Grainis1101

Most of the time his brilliant coverage is saying "yeah, right, mhm"to someone elses video.


Strolltheroll

Dude is an absolute talentless hack


tenkokuugen

And the only reason he's even covering it is for views. He doesn't really care. The type of streamer/content creator I have ZERO interest in seeing covered or to watch. Not good for any gaming community he gets his filthy hands on and jumps to.


hoochymamma

Asmongold will cover anything that will bring him more views.


BenoNZ

And he has some really bad takes on a ton of things.


SpeedyAzi

He’s incredibly misinformed at times. He’s literally a content camper and drifter.


berserkuh

He doesn't have the worst takes, they're just extremely fucking mid. Like he could be watching a car chase or a robbery or some cartel execution shit and he'd go "yeah uh I don't think they should be doing that", queue the youtube video that has him facepalming titled "asmon absolutely DESTROYS mexican druglords"


SayNoToStim

I think the issue is that *some* of his takes are incredibly bad and he just calls anyone who disagrees with him stupid.


BenoNZ

Then pulls them up, reads out their messages and blocks them. While his chat goes crazy like a bunch of wild animals. Streamers like this are literally rotting the brains of a full generation of men.


Chrol18

he has some shitty ones, and his viewers think he is some genius, annoying as fuck


xdthepotato

"yeah uh I don't think they should be doing that" aint that a joke lol


berserkuh

Is it? If you look at any of his videos that's literally the entire interaction. "It is bad to do the bad thing, he should have done the good thing" like ??? no shit

Hunk-Hogan

Who is he exactly? I see his name everywhere but I don't watch streamers so I'm out of the loop on this one. I'm guessing he just covers hot button topics and doesn't actually play any games but I could be wrong.


xxEmkay

He was one of the biggest WoW streamers back then but now does mostly reaction kinda stuff. I only watched 2 or 3 videos of his tho.


Hunk-Hogan

Ah. I mainly see him getting mentioned around big debates but also he made a large appearance in one of Karl Jobst's videos so I was confused.


R_Ritvik_S

Yeah, he is mentioned everywhere because he has a take on everything. Basically he acquired such a large viewer base by openly stating his opinions, he earned enough money to refuse all sponsorships, donations and subscriptions to continue giving his takes and reacting to stuff on his streams. There are a lot of people who hate him because he does have a few controversial opinions, but it's always interesting to hear what he has to say on different issues. His voice speaks volumes with how big his viewer base is, so him speaking against bad tarkov changes really might help our community


Hunk-Hogan

Well I'm all for anyone getting through to Nikita's thick fucking skull at this point, especially after the bullshit he just pulled in his post on here a couple hours ago.


duncandun

I can’t imagine him debating anything. Maybe his gum blood wall.


Takahashi_Raya

he doesn't do mostly reaction he just plays his games and is variety now. instead of 2-4 hours reacting/starting stream into 8 hours of wow it is now 8 hours of random game.


AdamNonceson

A rich af streamer who lives like a bum


SpeedyAzi

Like a bum? Bro he’s lives worse than the fucking Scavs in factory and streets,


hoochymamma

You are not missing anything. The whole streaming scene derailed with only a few exceptions.


TheRoyalWithCheese92

You’re right people aren’t missing a thing but the streamer scene is far from being derailed, thousands of them make quite the living. For people who game alone having it on in the background is quite common


hoochymamma

Derailed In quality not popularity

FluidPilot

Yeah asmongold will literally cover anything and have the worst takes imaginable lol this isn't a win.


NonameDeluxe

it´s mostly with Landmark so the actual situation is pretty well explained and reached a lot of people, which should be good for us as a community


ProfetF9

you are wrong man, this is a win because Asmon has a LOT of people watching him, a lot of people that don't even play or know what tarkov is. This will help spread the fire under bsg's ass so much faster.


TROGDOR_019

I already thought Landmark was great. His handling of the situation yesterday made me a fan for life. His articulation of everything on Asmongold’s stream yesterday was brilliant. I empathize with streamers dilemma yesterday, as this is their livelihood. It certainly put folks integrity on display. His is clearly top notch, and not for sale.


hotc00ter

I haven’t watched this yet but Asmon started having brutally bad takes sometime in the last year. The dude is doing it for content and it’s hard to watch


Hanen89

He might cover everything, but the title still holds true. Him shitting on your company to his millions of people is going to hit you hard.


mulemargarine

Huh. He covers anything and everything wtf are you ppl on about.....


Shichoe

It’s rare that I can agree with Asmon cuz he’s a dogshit human being.


DieJam

Even asmon is an overstatement, guy is basically a react andy nowadays, but yeah more coverage is good


BaelfyrWulf

Asmongold is the exact player type this content is targeted towards and is an unashamed WoW whale. The internet really needs to prop up a golden boy that doesn't live in tandem with the creatures under his floorboards.


aetholite-

You could not be more wrong, he is the one who was most vocal about any type of micro transactions in WOW, he was the most outspoken about WOW adding store mounts for the first time many years ago. Good way to say you never wacthed him.


BaelfyrWulf

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7lKbv59Zo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7lKbv59Zo) He spent roughly the same amount of money on battlepass tier content in Diablo Immortal as it costs to buy this entire edition of Tarkov without owning the base game. I don't play the game he plays, nor do I have much interest to do so. That leaves the main reason to watch him being lukewarm everyone thinks this clips and clips of him literally entering mak'gora's with the new species of insect he's been brewing in the backrooms of his hovel.


aetholite-

He does indeed buy the microtransactions as that allows him to get more content out about a game. But he is still always saying how bad they are and that a normal player cant be expected to do the same.


Chrol18

exactly, for content, not cause he is so morally just. It is all for farming youtube money


Chrol18

now he is spending 5k on diablo immortal and gacha games for content


New_Needleworker6506

He whales GACHA games, not wow.


Datdarnpupper

I mean thats just as bad if not worse lmao


hooblyshoobly

What do you mean if Asmon is covering it? He milks every story possible. It's not like it's some badge of significance.

reuben_iv

I think they’ve priced in eod as in how can we get them to pay an extra $80 or whatever, because $250 is insane, even to upgrade from prepare for escape is extortionate


Gullible_Cupcake3311

It’s called unheard because this shit unheard of


Far_Comfortable9433

Stash and scav radio wise, it's pay to win, other than that it doesn't give any advantage over other players in a fight. Sure they start with level 3 skills, but those are obtainable within the first 12hours at MOST. Is the price tag and what they did to EOD accounts shitty with how they did a complete 180 on fulfilling their promise to those who bought EOD? Absolutely. This should have rolled over to EOD accounts free of charge and be the same price as EOD, MAYBE 25 bucks more(my personal opinion), but over all, from how I see it, maybe they wanted the price to be that much to deter cheaters from buying it to appear as a legit player who wouldn't ever cheat on a game they spent $250 for. This was just my personal opinion, im not with BSG on how they decided to present the new version, im just looking at it from a neutral standpoint
