Acouple days ago Nikita met with the Tarkov Girls which is a Russian speaking group of girls who you guessed it play a lot of Escape from Tarkov. We also have this addition of a waiting queue in the launcher recently. BSG have made several statements telling us it’s temporary to help the load on the servers. It’s a complex problem that they say just buying more servers will not solve. They also said it’s not due to twitch drops because there was way more activity on wipe day then there is now and we didn’t see the same problems. When servers overload and crash very bad things can happen such as rollbacks and loss of data and guess what that lost data consists of… our characters. Now, no I don’t think the crash would delete our characters I’m sure there’s redundancies for that but I know it could delete our progress and even our gear to a certain point and at the very least our progress in a current raid during the crash. So we either deal with the server queue and wait to play or deal with data loss and more crashes. I’ll take waiting until they solve the problem which by the way it is the holidays now for them in Russia and they’re working through it to fix this. So no it’s not BS and yes they’re trying their best to fix it, we just need to give it time. The problem of waiting is much better then what could happen if we weren’t, trust me.

Although I do sometimes get a hand from BSG and occasionally get to talk to Nikita or other members of the team, I do not work for BSG. I also work entirely off public information and past experiences of working in game dev myself, as well as following this game closely for several years. Unless I state very clearly otherwise, the information you’re about to hear should be taken as speculation. You can either get no information or speculation, that’s all we have to go off of these days unfortunately which is why it’s easier to just say Thursday whenever anyone asks for dates. If you want hard facts and dates you won’t get them, period.

A few minutes ago the server seemed to come back online but we'll see how long they last and if the queues continue. Will keep an eye out for new info o7
Are air drops still in the game ?
Oh yeah let’s make the game even slower to progress.. so now you have to play 15 hours a day instead of the usual 8
The problem with Nikita's philosophy is that even though he doesn't want people to speedrun or cheese the game, they keep adding these dumb ass anti-UX friendly mechanics and features that discourage "normal" play. Some of these things that are in the GAME that simulate REALISM are so anti-fun, it encourages people to cheese through it so they can reduce the amount that these shit implementations affect them
what I feel at this point with BSG is we get 2/3 great updates or some good bug fixes, and with that 10 other new or old bugs appear back.. im done with bug reporting =.=
How is it not related to drops if they had NO problems on a busy launch day? Seems like the opposite
On the topic of the money meta. I don't really see why they want to remove that. That's how life works. Money is the real life meta. Why are they trying to take away the incentive to make money in tarkov
Had a stacked ass raid….. killed level 33 and 51 looted both sides of resort… had 4 tasks done, friend found a graphics card. Extract…. only to not have the raid NOT count because of the server issues. I'm heated 😫😭
Oh here goes the being attacked mumbo jumbo again
I can’t get on ur discord server
Hopefully they discuss hackers…
I’m going to be honest, I don’t believe Nikita when he says they’re being DDOSd. The server overload can easily be explained by the extreme increase in players because of drops. Once the event is over, I’ll bet you anything that the servers will be fine.
I wish I had a video of this happening, but one time me and my friend were clearing rogues on lighthouse and my friend barely overpeeked the door-crack peek or whatever and the rogue started pumping him, then traced him through the wall and then target switched to me and blacked both of my arms despite me not ever being visible. I think you can guess what happened to my friend lol.
I literally lost a exfil black, and a M1A during a scav raid….
air drop on factory thats why im here
What grinds my gears, they add a new map called lighthouse in which there is no access to said lighthouse!
This game is taking too damn long in the development cycle
By the time it does release it will be old news and the competition won’t be far behind
Its The Tetris Company attacking BSG. They are mad over the Tetriz item.
This is unacceptable. You people are scammers.
Good love how they want to slow game play down
where the hell is that underground garage? thats not a map is it???
Me and 3 of my friend were in raid during crash. And we all lost our gamma containers. Support says they won't return it. I understand problems and lags. But can't understand why they can't send us our gamma containers. And we can't buy them somehow at traders.
Buying more servers wont help?, then what?, i want to play i've paid 100Euro for this bullshit. Give this game to the facepunch they will fix it.
I have not been able to play for the last 4 days due to a backend error, so I hope they can fix it soon
Time..Whos got time when everyone is getting HEAD EYES. Lol #EFT4Lyfe
Telling people that more servers wont fix current issue with overloaded servers is yea no comment ^^
can you link me the google expention pls for the twitch drops
D dossers can hurry up and drop dead ☠️
DDOS'd? Really? Are they admitting to bad security? Or did they really just take all of your EOD $ and buy more hookers and cocaine instead of more servers and don't want to tell you? xD 😉
waiting is making me not play at all
Thank you
I'm so mad im never aloud to play tarkov because of the stupid que
Tarkov girls is just a code word for the Christmas party extras that were invited
My place in queue is 27641? Seriously?
I haven’t been able to get on in a week, not once. Ugh…
Why does Jeepotv look like he has the swirl effect on his camera.
Nikita will ruin the fun in the game, just like other devs in the similar category if he messes with the money meta
Can we talk about the price difference for the game in Russia vs other countries?
They should make it increasing harder the higher your level is
More twitch Drops please!!makes the Game More unplayable
130€ Game and Server for 100k Players Same time! Every stupid wipe Same Server Problems!
When will Nikita change something???
this is ridicules I want a fucking refund.
So What are the estimates on wait times? Was thinking on pulling the trigger an buying this game but Had to hesitate because of a slew reviews and forum post
I call bullshit on the DDOS attacks. The servers were always shit, they have drops witch increases the playerbase dramatically so ya get ques like you're playing fking FFXIV on Endwalker release. Also the idea that more servers won't help with an overpopulation issue is hilarious xD like I get you don't care and don't wanna spend money and that considering the climate it's hard to get the servers (I mean if Square can't they definitely can't) but don't lie. It's also hilarious to see all the comments going "bUt He SaId So" like they administered the dude a truth serum injection before the stream.
They need to gift everyone when they fix this dumpster fire for all the lost loot. Sitting in 70k queues after you just lost everything is like kicking you while you’re down. Complete and utter bs when they could affect a priority on they’re servers for players who lost connection or got a bad gateway due to their issues.
Maybe they can make scavs stop tanking 4 rounds of ap to the head
watching this after a critical error put me in a 80000 person queue
I see i bought the game at the exact perfect time!
I legit sold a GPU made the money then sold the same one again glad it worked it my favor …… this time LUL
My friend lost a whole scav box filled with items due to data loss. I have also lost loot. Backend errors constantly in the inventory. Loading in as scav will say awaiting session to start and then never start making me reset my timer (happens to me and all friends). Queue times randomly go to 10-20mins for no reason. These are all game breaking bugs that never used to happen. I don't care how many new players are playing, They should of expected the game to be popular and now have more funds than ever to smooth the game out and they will loose the player base if they don't fix the game. I literally spend more time trying to get in a game than I can actually play.
is this still an issue? no fucking way I wait in line to play a game, that being said really feel sorry for BSG gettin fucked on by DDOS attacks theyre doin their best
