I'm sorry, but you have to find this changes by yourself. It's because we are simulating changes directed by traders AI. IRL they will do it without warning. They see demands, track shortages and make changes they need. Later we will add a feature - traders with send you messages about this upcoming changes, if you are in good rep with them, have good karma etc. That's the reason that we can't say about changes AFTER actual changes applied.

Additionally the reason we can't tell about changes BEFORE cause ppl who can go into the game quickly after the change note. They will stock up goods with old prices-traders and have the advantage to speculate on flea market. You have to understand this.

Of course it's not a perfect system but it is actually in a big test. So, sorry for inconvenience.
The good thing is that it's getting balanced in the way Tarkov should be experienced.

P.S. Item/weapon/gear parameters changes though need to be declared - I agree.

Message from the COO:

I'm sorry that you have to find these changes by yourself. It's because we are simulating changes directed by traders AI. In real life, they will do it without warning. They see demands, track shortages, and make changes they see fit. Later we will add a feature where the traders will send you messages about these upcoming changes if you are in good reputation with them, have good karma, etc. That is why we can't say about changes AFTER actual changes are applied.

Additionally, the reason we can't mention these changes BEFORE they happen is due to players who can go into the game soon after the change note announcements. They will stock up goods with old prices and have the advantage of speculating the flea market outcomes. You have to understand this.

Of course, it is not a perfect system, but it is actually in a big testing stage. So, we are sorry for the inconvenience.

The good thing is that it is getting balanced in the way Tarkov should be experienced.

P.S. Item/weapon/gear parameters changes though need to be announced—I agree.

Nikita and BSG team.
