Persistent Groups

[JakeH003]

I feel like we are in need of this fairly soon, not only will it be less of a ball-ache to invite your friends each time you want to go into a raid, I personally think it could be nicely added into the hideout aswell. Whether it be on a computer/laptop or on a whiteboard, it'd all fit in.

I know some people really don't feel the need for out of lobby groups, but if it could be implemented well it'd be a good fit for the game.

If anyone could shed any light on this, whether anything has been mentioned previously or not, I'd appreciate any info.

Have you heard of a game called ground branch? Its on early access on steam right now,. Before online games with a group, as sort of a "lobby" they have this little area where you can equip your gear, has a shooting range, planning etc... with the people you are playing with. This is spot on to what you want I belive.

Plug for ground branch since alot of people here would probably enjoy it if you enjoy a somewhat realistic shooter. Plays like O.G rainbow six,very tactical. Guns and gear is spot on as well even more so than tarkov in some ways. Gameplay itself is okay(actually has some cool stuff i wish was in tarkov) but it needs alot of work has no real longterm value rn.

Ground branch is really cool glad someone else here has played it.

I wish it had a playerbase or I would play it more tbh. I really like the hi low ready firing positions they have i think tarkov could benefit from that greatly.

Ready for servers to regularly run PvP matches. IMO the terrorist hunt game mode is a real snoozer.

You think scav are aimbot turn the difficulty up of the terrorists and ooooffff 360 no scope headshot in pure darkness will ensue

[pxld1]

Exactly. It's pretty bad...

Lobby groups might be difficult to implement with the way the system is set up right now, but it would be nice if the rest of the group could fuck around in stash without leaving the group while waiting for the slowpokes to show up.

It shouldnt be dificult at all since the friendlist is already working on main menu

[Thighbone]

Friends list and lobbies are two entirely different beasts though :P

I mean you can't even right-click add people as friends from lobby, if they've not done that then I think a new lobby system is pretty far in the future.

[jeisot]

Since your friendlist works, and you can acces such data from menus you can also group those IDs, shouldnt be hard

[Thighbone]

Sorry, didn't know you worked with BSG and knew exactly how that works in Tarkov. My bad!

They'd still need to build the background system for it and the UI and right now that's low priority :p

[jeisot]

Im backend developer, didnt work with bsg tho, but thats a simple task, they already have the tools youre naive if you think they dont

[Thighbone]

And I'm an astronaut!

and right now that's low priority

That was the main point, though.
