this "Tarkov killer" is already dead

[130.png]

exactly 1 month ago the game was released and it is already dead.
Even if the counter says 6k in game, which is low anyway, I'm on a server where everyone is afk, only 1 person outside main base, but not moving either.

I used to play other EA games e.g. Rust. Years ago in alpha stage there were updates every week. After the release they changed to once a month. Verify that yourself https://rust.facepunch.com/changes/ check the history years back.

Here a month passed and not much from devs.

how many years ahead of production is tarkov then greyzone ? so of course its going to take some years before grey zone will shine

I've never played Tarkov, but the game had 130k players yesterday. I have no idea what people consider dead.

Grayzone had all time peak 72k, yesterday 10k

Yea, all games peak when first released and then slowly decline. Of course there are a few unicorns like GTAV, but that's the exception not the rule.

Player counts decline when people complete all the tasks, they get bored, they refund for various reasons, or they get banned for cheating. A patch or new content is released and numbers rise before starting to fall again. It's the natural sequence of 99% of games.

No surprise to me. If gamers didn't lose interest and move on we'd all be playing Pong.

This is just a PVE game not PVP... to much FOREST!!!

I own and play both EFT and GZW, even though I just started GZW. I play both in PVE mode and enjoy both even though GZW is extremely early in its development.
If GZW devs dont abandon and keep delivering like EFT did for almost a decade now, I see no reason why both cannot co-exist.

I remember back in 2018 EFT's netcode was so bad that hits were registered with 30-60 seconds delay... They all start horribly, the only worthy ones are those that do not become abandonwere and eventually shine.

Its all in devs hands. They can either cashgrab and run or they can endure and deliver.

I just never agree with a game killing another argument. It's so old!

This was always advertised as a PVEVP game with focus on PVE not PVP.

[Swoosh]

Even the chinese / tencent game is killing this game, thats a shame.

This game is/was a scam from the start tbh

really, what makes you an expert on games... never played TARKOV, not even interested.
Came at this from ARMA 3 and REFORGER...
If you see folks sitting still in FOB, it may be the same reason I sit there... reorganizing my inventory or adjusting weapons, gear etc...
I always seem to be waiting for the next chopper to quit transporting others before my squad can deploy to LZ.
GZW is very challenging... Graphics are very very important for spotting AI BEFORE they spot you... I run a pretty good card and it took several adjustments to achieve fair to middlin' clarity in vision... my biggest issue was the same as I encountered with Ark2SA ...too much light reflection OFF EVERYTHING... even things that in REAL LIFER don't actually reflect light like blades of Grass and NON shiny leaves on flora,,, and objects that absorb light not reflect.
Basically the LIGHT PHYSICS are much better than early game engines but still NEED serious adjustment... I can not remember exactly the changes I made and individual systems will have to be tuned to USER preference... I helped my friend adjust his but he has a different rig so his settings were slightly different.
The gameplay is highly challenging and akin to Ghost Recon and others of that ilk... Running and gunning is a sure way to find out how difficult medical healing system is and will relieve you of your gear with a quickness...
My recommendation to first time players is to creep and learn how to spot the AI... it is not easy... often you will see only a silhouette or bushes moving... they however have EAGLE VISION and will end you in a heartbeat.
Silenced weapons help considerably but are not guaranteed to keep you hidden from AI.
Ammunition is very critical. in early stages SP will be adequate but require many hits, FMJ works much better, HP 9mm is good for Headshots (don't miss).
HPBT 556 is very effective for early game but AP will be a must later.
I would like to see the TK issues solved... my suggestion is that you CANNOT TK members of YOUR PMC... it would eliminate a problem with scumbags stealing gear..

Why are you posting? This isn't a constructive thread.

[Edzio21]

still good then tarkov for me

[Jendrek]

The games in Early Access why is everyone upset. There are companies who release a game thats supposed to be full release and ends up being worse than this early access game🤣 Great example is BF2042. If you don't like the game why waste time complaining about it. Just play a different game or refund it👍

It is DEAD and my dumb ass gave them $109!!

[Strambo]

i bought it and i knew it wasn't a tarkovkiller but something of its own. i also knew that the game was in a very early stage of development. i'm still playing, the servers are always full when i'm online and the teammates are spread all over the map.
