There it is. The Distress Signal Device IS for pvp too.
Your friends will arrive after 10 minutes of loading screens
That won't be a problem for stream snipers. Whole Discords will be able to queue into a huge amount of servers, as soon as one finds the streamer lobby, call in the team.
It could also aid streamers. They could have entire lobbies of their followers ready to fuck up anybody. It just sounds bad no matter how I look at it.
But cheaters will get more use out of it than anybody. They can literally cheat to kill you and your team, then call in all of the loot mules to make sure you never get any of your insurance back.
Just imagine the incoming RMT schemes. "Bro, I need a keycard." "Sure, that'll be $20, and I'll summon you once I kill someone that has one"
Yeah, its odd how they make decisions that would benefit RMT traders.
If this fucks streamers they're definitely gonna lose the only sycophants they have left lol
Very true. And easily done by just purposefully throwing grenades or gunfire patterns and then listening for stream feedback.
They need to pay for priority queue. Wish we were just trolling and memeing
No no. It will be fine because of priority match making!
EXACTLY. 1 minute minimum loading time, it depends on your PC and internet connection strength.
Can't wait to see the RMT abuse:
"Sign up for our service, add a few names to your Friend List, and you too can have a Hacker on standby for your Raids! Found a Red Keycard? A Blue Terragroup Folder? Just pop that distress signal and you'll have an unstoppable juggernaut at your side in moments to wipe the Lobby and get you to extract! (Don't worry, all our carries pay for 'Premium Queue Priority'!)"
"Did somebody kill your Chad friend and now you're too scared to move? Have no fear, papa Nikita is happy to sell all the tools you need to call our best aimbots to your side in a hurry!"
I think the opposite is equally valid. Cheater hops into game, checks for Red key card, Led x, other premium loot, boss presence or missing quest items. Finds an item required by a client, pops the flair, clears the lobby and escorts the RMT client to the desired item.
It's a genuinely game breaking mechanic. I understand it for PvE but PvP??? It's going to be stupid.
they saw helldivers and thought "we could do that"
Nikita hits another 4am line, fuck yes let’s do this
it's gonna massively take away from skill from winning fights. we're seeing the game die in real time lol
Best case scenario, it's still going to make fights fiddly since it'll just be one more thing to think about. You're always gonna be second guessing whether you actually wiped a group out, or if there is currently backup coming in hot.
This game can already be hell in solo play for a lot of people. This just makes it even worse.
It is absolutely TERRIFYING that Battlestate Games and Nikita even ENTERTAINS THE IDEA OF ADDING THAT into Tarkov. It's ridiculous, how can anyone ever trust them to develop the game with shitty decision after shitty decision stacked on top of each other?
It's over bros, EFT is dead
We've trusted them and had faith through a LOT of bad decisions over the years, but yeah I think this is the last straw.
it probably can be used to call deceased teammates back into the raid if they are on your friend list, that's a game over
I wonder if lets say in theory. Load up into a map, all 5 of you have the distress signal, all 5 of you pop it the moment the map starts and each call in 5 different friends. Do you just have a 30 man platoon running around the map now or something?
I would doubt that is intended, simply because I'd assume BSG at least knows their servers would never be able to handle something like that (because multiple squads could do it and then you'd have 60-70 people on a map).... but I don't doubt that they will fuck up the coding in some way that allows it to be exploited like that.
You know your mistake right? You put the words "assume" "BSG" and "know" in the same sentence... :p
Totally made for cheaters to aimbot the map and then call in their paying mules to collect all your gear.
This didn't ever occur to me. What a fucking joke this all is. At least I've finally escaped.
This^
"Hey can you put me in the queue for Blue Keycards?"
"Sure buddy you'll get a game invite within an hour"
Yeah seems like a good addition to the game for RMT
When I first heard about this, cheaters and their mules were the first thing to come to mind. Then if they get banned it will be another 250 dollars to get back into the game. This is basically an infinite money glitch and the hardcore fans who built the game will get fucked over more and more.
This thing being in PvP is game over. Sorry but imagine you met a 4 man, killed 3 and the last one calls him teammates or other friends back. Its a fucking joke, anyone without a nose deep in BSG's asses can clearly see that. Its a total game breaker and Nikita calls it "cool mechanic". My sides. This is the guy in charge of the game. If this doesn't tell you not to give them any more money I guess nothing will.
The dude is also blatantly lying saying they didnt remove the "DLC Line". Who removed it then ? Huh?
how will this even work? will they just phase in... or spawn in at nearest/random spawn?
That's going to fucking suck, huh?
Can't wait to kill 2/3 of a group and the last guy just resummons the same guys back into the raid
fuck any solo player i guess, shit is already hard enough
why did people think it wasnt for pvp? they hardly added a flashing light and loud sound for Scavs to see and hear
"True believers" I always knew Nikita was a clown, but now he's the entire circus
He thinks he's PT Barnum from The Greatest Showman but he's actually the historically accurate conman.
that is some cult leader shit
Hey! A circus requires intense teamwork, planning, and business sense to operate. Nikita has none of those things. An insult to real circuses I say
Comment removed by moderator
where does it say true believers I’m blind af
The second answer.
Hutch thinks its a jab at the content creators that are speaking out.
LOL IM BLIND THATS FUCKING CRAZY
Nicky is either railing line after line or is planning on rugpulling soon.
This dude sounds mentally insane.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That was a downright ruthless thing to say to the die hard patrons that enabled this games creation.
Then the interviewer brings it up a SECOND time and he just denies it.
This reads like a Trump interview…
This isn't a game release - it's a funeral.
tbh im starting to just feel more sad than angry now. now this is confirmed as real, it's starting to hit that the game is gonna go downhill fast from here. got a lot of great hours out of this game
Nikkita is gonna end up pulling in random mechanics from all his favourite games now with zero concern for it being a good addition or not. Can see it now
It was already in a complete free fall with all the cheaters and bad performance while BSG was refusing to do anything about it.
This is just the final nail.
It's painfully obvious they're squeezing out the last dregs of money this game can make and cashing out.
They really trying to put the fun in funeral
"True Believers"
This man has actually lost it, fuck BSG.
Almost sounds like a cult.
Nikita wishes he was a cult leader. He has the charisma of a burning turd.
At least a burning Turd can fertilise crops.
We were the real Cultists all along!
The new background in the new Unhinged edition is literally the cult.

TL;DR: Fuck you EOD users and rest of beggers and poor idiots. We care only about new package buyers.
During the Arena disaster Nikita already called EOD owners freeloaders.
"you got Arena for free. stop complaining about the waiting for wave"
No gaming community agrees with Nikita outside of few of these greedy shameless eft streamers who gaslight the community like Nikita, like streamers named outc1der. Lying and copying Nikitas narratives and insulting the viewers intelligence.
Freeloaders who paid for the then-most expensive edition of the game
Dude, Nikita is an entitled clown
And funded/backed the development of the game. Im not on some high horse here for owning eod (I didnt for the longest time and I almost had a heartattack when upgrading due to price and eurnok rate) but fuck me nikita is out of touch here. He is burying tarkov by the minute.
I mean i quit like 3 years ago because of nikitas stupid ass antics. Always promising, always passing the blame, always making excuses and most importantly always lying.
Wait til the $350 version drops, then anyone who bought the 250 edition will be the new "freeloaders"
Ignoring expensive microstransactions from games like Star Citizen, and ignoring any meme-pricing of games like Spooky Men, EFT's EOD edition was likely the most expensive video game at the time. The unheard edition clocking in at $250 takes the cake.
Gonna be funny when they get sued. Like you can’t go back on what you promised in a sale.
I bought this under the agreement that I’d get all future content updates. I am not. So either give me my full refund as your not upholding your part of the bargain. Idc if I have 2000+ hours. Or uphold your side of the bargain.
Like I wasn’t at this point until this dumbass starting talking like we are the problem. Not his company and their shitty practices and planning. It’s not my problem. Deliver what was promised.
He’s saying it’s expensive and everyone can’t get it at once. Fine roll it out like arena. It was dumb but it’s better then being nahhhh 100 bucks for something you already bought.
I don't give a damn about Arena.
EoD came with a promise that I would have access to all features of the base game Tarkov. Single player with progression is a feature of tarkov that I would expect to have access to.
Fuck - make it a hideout upgrade that you can get with lvl 3 mechanic if they're worried their servers can't handle it. Gives people time to earn it and a reason to play during at least one wipe.
Imagine getting called a “freeloader” when you paid the most money possible to support the game; thanks for mask off’ing and we see who’s truly in charge
