I've heard from you multiple times on the Talking Tarkov podcasts that you often were inspired by how certain games did stuff, like EVE Online's economy for example, i'd be interested to know what sort of stuff you were inspired by.

it was self inspiration mostly. the idea to create Russia 2028 universe was long time ago. Games like stalker, dayz, deus ex, dead space, books by Strugatsky brothers and many others added additional inspiration

From our point nearly every single day something is going on with internet overall, cluster overloads, hosting troubles. But we are not insured from global problems with the network, problems on the line and problems specifically with your providers.

Sorry, i really appreciate your commitment to the game and you are killing it with the communication lately, but do you really want to excuse the problems of the game/netcode/servers with global internet problems or provider problems? I mean everybody knows tarkov still has huge problems, its lame to blame "the internet" itself for it.

I dont want to be an ass or offend you in any way but i think thats just not true, sorry

of course not. im just saying that perfect network is not possible

The problem is that the center of gravity of the weapon is more towards the rear behind the magazine, or at the magazine itself. Adding weight behind the center of gravity will actually cause the gun to pivot back causing recoil to increase not decrease. A weight at the front of the gun, like suppressors, should theoretically decrease recoil as the extra weight is forward of the fulcrum and not behind it. A big heavy magazine may actually make a recoil worse.

we can do it, we have such kind of point - center of mass. by changing it with mods it could lead to interesting results

Add contracts to game to encourage certain use of game in various ways. In Black Ops 1 there was a menu that you could purchase a contract from a list: http://www.cod7blackops.com/cod-points/contract-example.jpg

So in Tarkov it could be a new trader that sells them. For example:

"Ruski Killer: Kill 10 Bears in 24 hrs. Cost 10k Rouble Payout: 100k Rouble".

These could be more specific to encourage use of items that are rarely used:

"9mm player slayer: Kill 10 Player Scavs with MPX or MP5".

With this addition I would like each Player Scav to have a free contract they spawn with. Basically another goal other than running to extract. So an example scav contract could be:

"Team up with another player scav. Payout: 50k"

So it would encourage scav groups. There is so much you could do...

I whacked Killa yesterday and I was looking at his pockets thinking, "Man it'd be so nice to do budget runs with just pockets like this and some light armor!"

Equipping new pants could do it, but I believe Nikita has said that we won't lose whatever clothes we buy on death? Naked boys with permanent Killa-pockets seems a bit OP, So my idea would be this.

Let us buy Battle Belts from Ragman that would change our pocket slots! Obviously they'd be lost on death, and they couldn't be very big.

I'd say the largest belt would be 3 1x2 slots and maybe one or two 1x1 slots, with the smallest ones being two 1x2's and a pair of 1x1's...something to that degree! It'd be so cool to run around in Trooper Armor, with a tan Battle Belt and a USEC hat, with an MP5 or something.

Just thinking about it makes my tacticool-senses tingle.

These would have an especially good place at level 1-2 Ragman, when you don't have access to much besides the Scav Vest and m...

Our servers are not cheap, they are powerful enough to handle the game.

Hi Nikita,

from time to time you mention that a companion app will be build where for example we can trade, move stash etc.

Some months ago I tried to reach out directly and via e-mail (which I sent August 30, 2018), but I haven't got any answer yet, so I'm trying my luck here.

I wanted to ask you, if it is possible to help you creating that mobile companion app. My daily life is developing such apps, running in the Web, on iOS and on Android, so all major platforms are covered. I'm also aware of the backend side, I call myself the typical full-stack-developer. Alongside with the mail, I wrote, that I've written several articles, small books about the technologies I'm using in my daily life. Additionally, I've given more than 50 talks and workshop on that topic. Within the mail I sent you there are also links to all that stuff I've mentioned.

Since I love the game, I want to contribute something back to it and ...

Ive tested nvg, they aren't that great.. the problem is that they can't see through the "night fog" any better than not wearing them at all would let you see - so they dont do anything but color the world green, sometimes making things harder to see.

Imo the good NVG should at least let you see further away, and give more definition in dark areas

yes, thats why im thinking that we need NVG fixes first

Big trades, $20mil rubles or more, there is not enough room in the hand-in screen/window. So you can't complete the deal because there aren't enough spaces to fit all the money.

got it. we will increase money stack size next wipe
