Escapers!

One of the Escape From Tarkov Reddit users, o4zloiroman, wrote down and translated the information that was posted on the Russian Forum section by Nikita Buyanov.

Please find the list of his most interesting responses below:

Telescopic stocks are planned, same with the free positioning of attachments on their respective planks;
Next maps are Lab, Military Base, then Village or Lighthouse;
It's possible that they will change speed with which you level your skills up;
Stash expansion with .11 or the one after it;
Tarkov's end-game: to escape from the city, finish the personal storyline;
Different characters will have their respective stashes and hideouts;
Ragdoll collision is going to be looked into;
They would very love to see advanced sniping tools, but it's not in the list of priorities ATM;
They plan to have a reputation(?) system for Scav players;
Auto-sort for the stash is planned;
They will try their best to release SVD with .11;
Face customization: the face itself, haircut, facial hairs;
They're satisfied with ragdoll death animations (no custom death animations probably);
Shoulder aim swapping isn't coming any time soon;
PTS is planned;
Nikita had no idea Scavs don't spend ammo while shooting;
There's going to be something akin to lowered weapon stance;
Boss for Woods and the map's expansion is planned;
They will try to implement Vulkan support;
The clan system is going to be "non-standard";
New quests with 10.5;
They never noticed that there are delays between pressing the Jump button and the actual jump itself;
21:9 fix "soon";
CIS players are 30-35% of the game's community;
Stamina is going to be directly tied to your weight;
They liked the suggestion of implementation of a stagger animation if you're landing on the ground while "overweight";
Next weapons after 416 and AR-15: RPK-16, SCAR-L/H, Vector;
Bipods, binoculars, and rangefinder are planned;
The clan system isn't coming any time "soon";
They're still discussing how to introduce aimpunch back into the game properly;
Factory expansion is under consideration;
Proper implementation of holographic sights (aiming with both eyes open, making them "transparent") is difficult, probably won't be coming;
Civilian AR-15 will be available from lvl1 standing;
They're trying to implement physical manifestation of weapon belts, but it's difficult;
Hydration/energy levels will be affecting stamina;
Weather conditions will be affecting weapons' performance;
Smoke UBGs (Under Barrel Grenades) is coming;
They don't have plans for replays (though that wasn't a definitive no);
Traders WILL be located on the maps in the future;
To unlock a map you will have to do "something" in the future;
The difficulty of maps will be directly tied to the loot quality and aggressiveness of locals;
The game will have a separate game mode where you're going to enter the game from one location, but to get back into your hideout you will have to reach a different [randomly specified] location;
OBT is going to be a long one;
Hunger won't be rising while your character is inside hideout;
Not having power won't stop you from producing stuff while inside hideout, will affect the production speed though;
They will think about letting people raise their stats while in hideout (shooting range);
Losing consciousness is still planned, but it's not in the list of their priorities ATM;
Customs expansion is planned for .11;
They can't let people get on top of tall structures due to technical limitations;
Planned to remove glitch that allows stuffing of bag inside each other .11;
Still, don't know how Karma is going to work;
NVGs and thermals will require batteries;
The weapons will be degrading much faster later on, but it's still going to be easier to fix them rather than sell and purchase new ones;
Hideout production: ammo, meds, repairs, moonshine, etc.

The RPK is an AK variant.

How is this supposed to work? Am I supposed to enter into a raid and then walk to the traider buy my stuff and then "extract" at a random location on the map? Seems pretty game breaking when you can't trade in peace.

How about fold/unfold the folding stock of FAL, guys? And Civil AR-15 is a great news.

The replay system could be implemented with action cams attached to helmets or straps, so if you get them back through insurance, you could see it. It would be pretty neat

Also, no mention on propoer sensitivity settings for scopes..

He did mention that they're planning to put additional work into scope sensitivity after they're done fixing optimization problems with scopes in general.

Lab, nor Military Base nor Village are showing on the current in-game map selection, does this mean there will be more maps than just the ones currently shown in the game?

It's a "Public Test Server" where the Devs upload the newest stuff there to test it, look at R6:Siege for a good example.

Wait how is this a glitch? I have bags inside of bags in my closet. It's not a glitch its completely realistic.

How do you think NVGs work IRL? Theyre supposed to be expensive and rare, not any PMC can afford one. This is just an added mechanic to make them more realistic.

The quests were doing now are trader quests. I think were gonna get some daily quests at some point after the implementation of Hideout, so yes, new types of quests are gonna come at some point.

Also, the main story line at some point.

Yeah, I think it was mentioned in one of the podcasts, that youre gonna be able to put attachment anywhere on the gun, where theres picatinny rails etc.

I think these maps are kinda smaller ones, maybe you can access these through some other map. An instance inside of an instance.. tarkovception anyone?

PTS is public test server.

I dont think so. BSG has made promises to keep the game from turning in to P2W and the clan system will have many benefits = cant be for EOD users only for example.

If I understood correctly, theyre talking about the belts that one can have on a weapon, to have it supported by your neck. Easier to carry. Also the shell-straps and the like have been suggested and I think BSG is checking it out, if its a viable thing.

UBG is a underbarrel grenade launcher, so smokes from a UBG launcher.

Post Tarkov Shakes (Playable/Public Test Server - where we can test updates and content before it goes live)

No, everyone will have access the clan system. Non-standard most likely refers to something more advanced than your standard 'Clan Tag' or Clan XP rewards found in other games. Restricting players because of their Edition is business suicide

14 minutes ago, RAC-W said:

Most likely belts of ammunition for LMG/HMG. Either that or they're referring to slings, which are what we use to fasten our weapons to our body/body armour/rig (delete a appropriate)

How do you think gamma correction work IRL?

ok, maybe I'm losing my last patience and I should give it a rest for a while. I don't just understand blind running to realism. If some mechanics work badly in the game, because the people in the game don't behave as in real life, why stick to it? Seriously, I don't understand. My point is: What about the fact that nvg will require a battery, if nobody uses these goggles? Of course, except for people who have nothing to do with money and dress them for fun ... but that's not what this game is about, right?

It doesnt. This is a game that aims for realism and NVGs are such an asset that there needs to be some downside to them. This downside is easily obtained by making NVGs have depleting batteries, just like IRL. Why wouldnt they make if work like its supposed to, they already have batteries in the game?

I find your idea of "blind running to realism" quite disrespectful towards BSG tbh. I dont think theyre doing this blindly.

Oh and another edit: I dont really understand what you mean by "If some mechanics work badly....why stick to it?" Could you rephrase and explain pls.

This is a dumb idea. This is how you get trader campers. This is how the entire economy will be useless. And this is how you get a game full of hatchlings and moslings.

I am with you on this vinis88, there are too many armchair Neavy Seal/SAS "soldiers" on these forums and every one of them is an expert at something....

I think I need a chill pill myself...

Its not BSG, it all these "experts" on these forums running towards it. And the best part is that BSG aint gona listen to most of the nonsense we read here.
