The first month of the year has proven to be slow for Escape from Tarkov news as the team takes their break around dealing with server issues, then spool back up into the normal dev cycle. However we got a couple things to talk about…

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.

I am not certain how this Q&A will work so I sent some questions already to warm them up and just see if I can get some quick answers. BUT there's potential for a longer form talk soon so ask your questions and I'll make sure the top few get addressed 😎👍
You should 100% ask if they could add a Dog/Cat to our hideout. Please Nikita, give me a pupper
What weapons are being added next in the next updates?
Will ai have inertia, because it would make the game more realistic and not fighting robots with cracked mobility
The dev support for EFT will eventually end, though will Bsg keep the tarkov servers up? Keep banning cheaters? What will happen to tarkov when their new title launches?
I'd love to have this question asked during the qna.
I would love to play tarkov is the servers worked 😀
I just want to know if they will address the recoil, at least refine what we have now or rework it. Nerf all the attachments and buff the base stats of guns is what I'm hoping for at some point but I know that will take a long time to balance
i like to know if there will ever be a revive mechanic
did they finally mentioned something about the optimization lost during transmission to the newer unity version and recovery of it?
good stuff, thanks dude.
What are the plans for UBGLs at this point and will they come with the next patch?
Ask them about the game breaking bug with the double barrel and flechette's when if you shoot someone with double tap it doesn't kill them because its over 400dmg in one shot
I've been playing this game since the closed alpha. I'd say this game has been missing out on some solid AI development. I'd love for the AI to be improved in general but my suggestion is for adding more substance to the game. I love to PVP but think about it the AI gives a general draw towards areas. Now think about this were would you go for Scav kills on Shoreline? It's probably a set of locations on the map such as HEPS, Gas station, etc. But imagine you could come across a group of 1-3 maybe even 5 scavs moving from one location to another. Or when you place down a MS2000 marker there is actually a reason to defend the area for 30 seconds. It'd be awesome if Scavs that were nearby to an airdrop would seek it out and defend it. Similar to ARMA 3 when there would be random events where AI would be defending or moving a weapons cache. Arma 3 is also the last multiplayer game I remember with roaming AI so BSG should capitalize on that for an additional "selling point".
Would it be rude to Ask the dev team if the recent political events around Ukraine will affect development?
but Also ask something like "if you could fix one thing permanently this week, what would that one thing be?"
and near the end ask something cheeky like if Nikita feels like an internet celebrity yet? He has fan boys and trolls.
With the removal of most high pen rounds from the flea and now that pacing has slowed, there is a planned visor mechanic that does NOT allow you to ADS if you have a visor DOWN. Must be flipped up to acquire a sight picture. This has been discussed and appears to be showcased in in streets footage and it seems about a fitting time to implement it, should it be working correctly. A possible when would be lovely to hear.
Ask them when they're going to fix the sound system so directional sound works correctly. Also where're we getting an actual anti cheat or a response to all these cheaters. As a reference I live in Australia and under ACCC law, the product of tarkov doesn't function as intended when the developer has no provision to prevent malicious users within the product, making it "not solely under the control and ownership of the consumer" and henceforth entitled to a refund subsequent to au law. I'd never refund this nor recommend anyone to as its a WIP, however it's been 5 years and still not address to a useless sound system and cheaters everywhere. Forget the content, whenre they fixing their game.
Ask if they will ever add a friend request section in the Team section so you can invite people that you enjoyed playing with without going back to friends request and typing the persons name
Yeah can you ask the devs why they ruined the only good aspect of the game? I'm talking about the gun battle,engagement, accuracy, etc
I would LOVE an 'edit preset' for my character load out.
Q&A:
If they knew the game will grow that big , would they chose another game engine ?
Q&A: Could you ask if they plan on improving their customer service quality? I have seen quite a few people talk about how their customer support tickets will repeatedly get an automatic response, and get closed without them ever addressing the issue. I know 95% of the time it is cheaters, but for the other 5% who could be spending up to $140 on the game, it seems like a great disservice.
when are revolver getting added?!
Are they making à New FOV for the game, becaus when you put 75 or 60 there is no différence on the players arms but only the map go further away the arms stay the same
oh good, why not enable evil people to get back fence rep just to continue killing scavs. I was killed as a scav by a scav the other day, and it sucked, the only consolation was knowing he lost a bit of rep, now he can get it back and do it all again. Sad.
Question to the devs: is there a possibility we will see a fix for IR lasers etc. to work properly with night vision in the near future? Night raids would be so much better if they did.
Q&A: I have to know if they're gonna fix the audio glitches where you hear the gunshots and stuff right next to you all the time for like a half a second. My guess would be that when they fully implement steam audio that might get fixed, so you could also couple that with a "When's Steam Audio" question. That's really my only huge problem with the game at this point. Gives away peoples' positions and makes me jump way to much lol.
