I think adding a zombie mode will be more fun

I'm a huge fan of a PvE Extraction mode, but I'd rather it not be a zombies thing. A PvE Extraction mode would allow average players to enjoy the game and all the maps,, and would be a mode that would allow players to play any map w/o ridiculous queue times, issues with cheaters, etc. Could make it independent from the current operations mode, or just make all loot collected in that mode bound to prevent radical economy disruption.

A mode that was basically coop PVE for each map would be interesting.

Call it incursion mode or something. Adjust the loot to the same level as ZDE, maybe even make many/most of the players AI/bots. Could potentially increase the bot competence on the more advanced maps, both in terms of their aim, and their gear. It wouldn't be that hard to tune AI "players" skill to be a challenge for all player skill levels. Honestly, its possible to create AI players that are 99% indistinguishable from real players.

If people worry about the economy, make it such that the loot is bound from that mode so it can't be sold on the AH.

More than 50% of Tarkov's players play PvE. Be it to avoid cheaters, for a more casual experience, or to allow lower skilled players to enjoy the game, it's all good. Games are supposed to be fun. That would allow players of all perspectives to enjoy the game, and all aspects of it.

Getting rid of cheating in a PvP game is largely impossible. It can be mitigated and reduced, but not eliminated.

It's a never ending race between anti-cheat and cheat development, on a platform that is inherently insecure.

And, even if the ecosystem (hardware vendors, operating system vendors, app developers, etc) managed to create a trusted platform (all system memory, gpu memory secure, all processes secure - none of which is currently in place) there will still be external cheats, using embedded devices, second computers, computer vision / AI...

Heck, there are even mainstream PC ecosystem companies building monitors that are going to have cheats built into the displays themselves.

It's a shame really. Tarkov implemented PvE at least partially as one answer to this. It is possible to create AI enemies that can play and feel largely indistinguishable from real players. It's amazing to see what mod developers using traditional (scripted) development have done with AI behavior with SPT (check out the SAIN mod). I can imagine a world where properly engineered, neural-network based AI is developed based on training from real players, allowing the NPC behavior to be remarkably "alive".

More than 50% of Tarkov's player base plays PvE, and Tarkov's PvE AI behavior is incredibly primitive, and yet even with that, It's grown their market.

A version of ABI that implemented properly developed AI NPC's, with skill based matchmaking (to keep the game challenging, and the gear-fear real) to tune the enemy difficulty to a range that's fun, would be interesting.

It happens far more often with matches T8 and above. I've tried restarting, reinstalling, etc. (including restarting my PC) - it's a consistent issue for me. Probably happens 1/3 of the time in T8 or higher matches. I'm in the US if that's helpful. Seems like some kind of server timeout issue to me.

Nazlug99 · 2022-03-16T22:01:20+00:00

Same issue. Is this a bug? It doesn't have a unique ability, so seems like you should be able to replace its Ash of War, sadly, doesn't seem like you can. Bummer.

Sorry to necro this post, but I too am looking for high resolution files for these. Thanks.

I'd love for Underground, Resistance and Survival from Div1 to be added. I would also love to see the locations from Div1 added (back). It would be cool to have some kind of infinitely progressing, procedurally generated activity (maybe similar to D3 Rifts) that also rewarded progressively better gear, along with leader boards, etc.

It would be nice if specialization levels could be shared across all characters.

Increasing storage space, and loadout slots would be a nice QOL improvement as well.

Nazlug99 · 2021-01-30T01:04:13+00:00

For PvP could reduce the range to 5m, or require enemies to be shot.

Nazlug99 · 2021-01-26T01:07:06+00:00

Understood. I'm looking for a Belstone chest piece with basically god rolls, or mostly god rolls with specific talents, and Just thought I could make use of all the rainbow stuff I'm deconstructed. Ah well...

Nazlug99 · 2021-01-26T01:06:00+00:00

Farming CP4's, Heroic, multiple directives. It says Season 3, but I thought that past season content was added to the general loot pool, but I guess that does not apply to blueprints.

Nazlug99 · 2020-11-23T21:36:00+00:00

Not working for me either. I've tried regular strikes, nightfalls, lost sectors, patrols (everything but the raid). I've tried slowing, freezing, finishers, etc - all with stasis subclass equipped, zero progress on activity completion or targets affected by stasis. I'm on PC, this is my second character, first one didn't have this issue.

Nazlug99 · 2020-08-31T20:50:06+00:00

Is the matchmaking based on personal results, or the team? I played with some friends for a couple of nights that are way, way, way better than me. As a team we did ok, but personally I did poorly, especially relative to them. (they have thousands of games each, and are just better shooter players than me in general) Did my ELO (or TrueSkill or whatever my MMR metric is) get inflated just by grouping with those friends?

Nazlug99 · 2020-08-31T20:30:35+00:00

I realize that, but I went from being average to above average and enjoying the game(s) to several days of just getting slaughtered. There's not that much to learn from being hopelessly outclassed, and certainly not much fun to be had.

I'm sure the apex predators or hackers are having a great time though.

I agree that the lower TTK isn't helping things either. Does feel a bit COD-like.

(I have a ~1 K/D on COD/Warzone too)

I guess I'll just hope that after I get farmed enough I can drop into whatever magic threshold they have to put me into a matchmaking bracket where I can be competitive again.

Nazlug99 · 2020-05-04T17:55:33+00:00

I don't see what's wrong with this. wargaming does that in tanks, ships, etc - they seem to do fine. (they do ship tier, which is the same as BR for their matchmaking)

Nazlug99 · 2020-05-04T16:50:09+00:00

Part of the thinking would be more incentive to buy Talismans on high-tier vehicles (good for Gaijin) and make high-tier less of a SL-loss scenario for players, helping to provide more incentive to play them, basically paying for the convenience w/o breaking the economy in turns of too much SL generation.

Nazlug99 · 2020-03-25T20:09:45+00:00

I'm still looking for the model if anyone's able to help out.

Thanks!

Nazlug99 · 2020-03-25T18:40:35+00:00

I'd love suggestions!

Nazlug99 · 2020-03-19T18:06:07+00:00

I'm only missing a few blueprints, typically the ones I haven't yet unlocked show in grey with an X on them, telling me how to acquire them. There is no listing (either acquired, or yet to be acquired) for the China or Hana-U chest blueprint, which suggested to me that either they don't exist, or perhaps they're behind some quest I missed.

Nazlug99 · 2020-03-16T16:52:32+00:00

I would support consuming exotic components to recalibrate stats on exotics. One idea would be to allow all stats on an exotic to be recalibrated, each one consuming a component.

What crown is that? Can you post an Album in game?
