Hardcore Tarkov – 30 Days Later
(Intro) As of the uploading of this video, it’s been a full month since the hardcore wipe began. And over those thirty days, a lot has happened. Some of it for the better of the game, others have me still scratching my head as to why changes were made so soon after the whole thing was released. It's been kind of a whirlwind with everything going down on top of just playing the game and trying to make the hardcore experience work and to be successful in it. Luckily, it hasn’t been all bad, but there have been so many changes and iterations that we should have a conversation about the hardcore wipe in its entirety. So, let’s go over the first month of this wipe; the good, the bad, the ugly, recapping most of what has happened with traders, mechanics and pretty much everything in between.

Behaviors That Gamers Consider "Cardinal Sins"
Over the years, as we've all experienced video games in different ways, we’ve encountered—or perhaps even committed—certain behaviors that evoke feelings of weakness, cheating, or unfairness. These actions aren't limited to multiplayer games; even in single-player experiences, there are habits or approaches that may draw harsh judgment from fellow gamers. At one point or another, we've probably found ourselves on one side of this equation. Let’s explore a few of these "sins."

10 Video Games That Make You a Better Human
For many people outside the world of gaming, video games are still seen as a simple form of entertainment or a way to pass the time. But for those of us who are part of this culture and have spent years of our lives with this medium, the story is very different. We see games as works of art that can be deeply impactful. They can convey messages that influence our character and worldview—either directly or indirectly.

Take Tarkov for What It Is
(Intro) For a lot of people, myself included, playing Tarkov these days has been much more than just the going On's that we’re so accustomed to. It isn’t so much about questing, grinding to level up, getting max traders or fighting other players with end game gear. For some, those elements are still fresh and new enough that they feel rewarding and inviting to fully engage with and commit to, however long it takes to reach your own personal goals. But for many others, the current gameplay loop even under the guise of a hardcore wipe, is proving to be somewhat of a slog. Which is why so many of us hope and pray that the 1.0 version of this game will be different enough that it feels new. In the meantime, I’ve recently been spending some time during my raids just appreciating the game for what it is. Despite all the problems, the drama, the BS and baggage that is associated with Tarkov, I’ve tried to put all of that to the side and just find the fun that this game can still provide even after thousands of hours. And there is still a surprising number of things that I still enjoy and appreciate in this game, which is something I encourage everyone to also try; just find the fun in this game, even if there isn’t much left to enjoy.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Review
So, in preparation for Call of Duty Black Ops 7, I went back to play Call of Duty Black Ops 6. To give a disclaimer, it’s best for newcomers to play all of the Black Ops games before diving into the recent releases; except for Black Ops 3, I have yet to find a connection made between that game and the others besides a mention of Raul Menendez from Black Ops 2.

Tarkov's Skill Ceiling is Infinite
(Intro) Tarkov’s skill ceiling is arguably infinite. The game has so many complexities, mechanics, knowledge checks, and skill gaps that for those who are looking for places to improve in the game, there are tons of avenues to get better over the course of your time in this game. EFT is certainly up there regarding mechanical density and nuance that you will just figure out over time. But depending on what part of the game you want to improve, it will take a long time to fully figure those parts out. And some that you may never truly master. And that’s the best part; for all the bad that there is within this game, the amount you can invest into Tarkov and still discover new things about after thousands of hours is truly incredible. The fact that for someone looking to get better at fighting other players, that probably has the highest skill ceiling out of everything you could invest time into. If you’re able to look past the problems and enjoy the game for what it is, you will be learning potentially forever. So, let’s break down what about the mechanics in this game creates this infinite loop, the easiest and hardest things to learn, why fighting other players is so coveted by many and let’s hypothesize how much we will need to relearn when 1.0 happens.

Tarkov is Better Off Without the Flea Market
(Intro) Tarkov is simply better off without the flea market. A mechanic that was introduced all the way back in 2018, and since its introduction has created more problems and band aid fixes across the rest of the game than maybe any other mechanic introduced. And over the years, the flea market has taken on many different forms and iterations to try and salvage the balance of the game, all without any success. There is no world in which this mechanic is healthy for a game like EFT; the emphasis on going into raids and extracting with items means any way of cutting that entire process out of the equation is going to be not only preferred but abused by the community. BSG tried so many times to dial the market down in a variety of ways, but ultimately nothing really got the flea to a place that it felt welcome in the game. You can take the flea out of the game, but you can’t take the game out of the flea. Even with its absence here in the hardcore wipe, the damage the market has done across the game can still be felt. So today, let’s go over the flea market as a whole; the different eras of it, how its inclusion impacted pretty much every major mechanic in the game and how much better Tarkov is without it being around. It’s going to come back, but I honestly wish it wouldn’t.

Hardcore Tarkov Was a Failure and It Makes Me Sad
(Intro) Was the hardcore wipe for EFT a failure? Hardcore Tarkov has had a very tumultuous reputation since it was released with the most recent wipe. Tons of opinions across the community, ranging from this being the most fun wipe players have had, to the absolute worst how did BSG think this was a good idea. It’s been crazy to see so many different people talking about the handling of this wipe as a whole. And it’s barely been two weeks. Which is crazy because with all the changes coming from BSG, it’s felt like two months. But we’ve barely scratched the surface, and yet we kind of know what to expect for the foreseeable future. And while everyone else has and their opinions, my own is that this wipe had the potential to be one of the most impactful shake ups to the game since it was launched. I stand by the idea that Tarkov has needed a shake up on this scale for a long time. Something that would definitely make players hesitant to try it but would eventually give way to a difficult but enjoyable experience that truly tests the metal of an EFT players. It could’ve been amazing; and yet it’s only been okay. A complete failure? Depends on who you ask. But let’s talk about how BSG could’ve changed the game to preserve the hardcore experience while also making respectable and reasonable changes that many would’ve agreed with, and where do we go from here in regard to a more hardcore experience.

Scav Bosses Always Spawning was a Mistake
(Intro) Hardcore Tarkov is about making the game more challenging in a variety of ways. One change that went against the idea of difficult and challenging was making the bosses always spawn at the start of the wipe. I’m not entirely sure why this change was made, but with all the other restrictions that BSG put onto players, allowing us the constant chance to fight any boss on any maps was simply a mistake. Most people initially saw that in the pre wipe pictures they put out and scratched their heads wondering if it was going to be a good call adding the bosses all the time. Well, turns out it wasn’t and only after a couple of days, their spawn rate was reduced. So, let’s talk about it; the bosses in Tarkov, how they addition to hardcore goes against the entire point of the challenge, what I would’ve personally done, and just how it feels as though this hardcore experience has already lost some of its luster with all these changes happening so quickly.
