This game is actually based off a book called Roadside Picnic.... Look at Ban Pa.. Mentions of the occult. Lookup the abandoned campsite.. What are the containers in the missions for? Why are the quests mentioning unexplainable injuries on civilians? You're all too wrong lol
In my opinion I think this game could benefit from a pvp zone like the division 2. A gated off area with high level enemies and other players. Another idea would to extract loot in this zone would be to have an extraction bye a ballon that hooks onto a low flying aircraft. Give it a 1-2 min extraction timer and be able to extract from basically anywhere so you don’t have people camping extract zones. It’s definitely not going to happen but I thought it was an interesting idea.
It's a really interesting that you stated that this game isn't based on roadside picnic especially since you actually see that book all over the place and the entire game world, not to mention the center of the map is supposed to be Ground Zero for that exact event in that region of the world, as well as the fact that the developers have already stated that they have taken massive inspiration from it
I have seen the book on a shelf in the game in the same room as Sean McFate's book but I have not seen it elsewhere. I guess I also have a different take on "inspired by" versus "based on". Tarkov was heavily based on the same book, as was the Stalker games. I read through the interview on GameRant where they talked to one of the developers about the game and Yes, they said they took a great deal of inspiration from Roadside Picnic but, from what I read in the article, they are not doing exactly what is in that book. I took it that the center of the map was radiated and there are reports of players dying of radiation there. I have heard that others have been able to walk through the center of the map and there was nothing there but trees. Either way, the current state of the game has no real anomalies or aliens in it that I have seen, while playing it or watching it online. I have seen people posting graphical errors and calling them anomalies though.
@@UnreliableProject yeah they don't have really anything in the game in regards to it's lore as they've noted previously the game was/is only 20% done since it launched and being as the team is so small they haven't been able to add anything else and instead have been focusing on trying to make it run better
@@UnreliableProjectthe center of the map will eventually have anomalies I’m pretty sure, or be a nuclear wasteland. I heard if you go close to it you’ll hear wind rushing
Toxic players will kill you when you run out or into base at the front gate. Also took 3 whole mags from a pistol to kill a bot with body shots, they have to fix it!
Ive said this since I bought the game the day after it came out, The hit detection is absolute dog shit. A.I. can one shot you from distances they shouldnt be able to with an AK, Dump a mag and half into a bot and they just shrug it off, kill you then die from their injuries.
Idea- A skill system that eventually let's you level up 'squad leader' or sometime similar. This allows you to put squad-wide markers on the map, gets your squad it's own helicopter, etc. Something like Planetside 2 has. Game also desperately needs an economy and key RNG fix. Currently the only reason to loot is keys, food, and optics. Atrocious.
Great ideas and absolutely correct - on all points. I know they are working on some of those items but I have no idea what that really will look like once active.
I completely agree with the wile system is ridicules keeping it the way it is where leaving the player to choose whether or not they want to start over.
To be fair, In my opinion it is based off of road side picnic Aswell, the tasks eventually have you killing and securing containers that come from ground zero that do affect the surrounding areas radios and cause a little storytelling. I'm on task like 120ish atm. The tasks state you're going out to collect items that are from ground zero. Literal Asian stalkers
people say it was based on roadside picnic bc the book is in the game and the devs have said so lol. that other book is in there too. and im sure there are elements of both. currently they are saying that the ground zero will have anomolies left behind by the picnic visitors from space. we wont see aliens. just their artifiacts. just like roadside. this is basically us seeing the prequel to roadside in the devs version of the story. lots of bad info found in this video tbh.
lmao i play pve but as soon as u said that the pvp is just people spewing hate to make others quit the game u lost every bit of credibility u could have had. go play call of duty lmaooo
you said rigs dont function. they do. they hold ur mags and allow u to reload the weapon. u said body armor doesnt function. it does and stops projectiles from killing u and even degrades when damaged. lmao. bro. just say u dont play shooters and move on lmfao
Pretty much spot on. Definitely the biggest issue they need to address is the helicopter deployment. I've had times where I've spent up to 25 or 30% of my available playing time waiting on them. This is a sure way to drive players away. If I have 2 hours available to play I damn sure don't want to spend 30 minutes basically idle!
I agree! Holistically, for the player base, the allotted time for doing anything in this game is the biggest factor. There are very few people that have 1.5 - 3 hours of time they can allocate to flying out somewhere, completing a mission or 2, and then flying back. That's without dying and trying to recover your gear. I would rather have an insurance tab on my gear so I recovery some of the financial burden of losing my gear so I can just repurchase it and not be able to recover my gear from my body at all. That, and have a couple different types of choppers to chose from to get to the LZ's to cut the time of flight down.
i think they should do live events instead of wipes or have like a rotation of tasks for wipes. so you aren't doing the same tasks over and over every wipe. Great Review By the Way Short and SWEET
this game has the worst forced anti aliasing i have ever seen in a video game, its so blurry and pixelated to the point where spotting anything after 50 meters is almost impossible and extremley eye straining and i had to stop playing after an hour when i played this game, this game is like someone rubbed vaseline all over your screen, even in 1440p resolution, and for anyone who says its settings or hardware: i have a 4070ti, 5800x3d 32gb ram and game is on m.2 drive, dlss/fsr off/lowest.
Want to waste your life away?!!! Play grey zone warfare!!!! Where you can spend months building your character up and then have it deleted!!!!! Yeah!!! Awesome 👏 Thanks grey zone!!!
Again, we'll see. I think enough people have spoken up about it. They may limit it to PVP servers only in the future; however, I don't think it is needed there either.
in the beginning or at least when i started playing, you could heal from your medpouch as long as it was on your rig/belt or pockets. Now you cant and its annoying.. thaths my no:1 now
You can heal from your med pouch if it is in one of your dynamically accessible pouches (the ones with the lightning icon on them in the top left) but, the larger IFAK containers don't fit in anything but your chest rig. I am not removing my ammo and mags from there to make room for it so I just got in the habit of accessing meds from another location. I actually went and tested it just now, putting my large IFAK container in the chest rig and healing myself from the quick menu and it worked fine. You can do it but at the cost of other things.
@@UnreliableProject just tested my self too good its fixed now i dont have biggest one open yet but im using QRkit on belt from now on! hopefully it works for teammates too. btw im not a fan of wipe too, doing same missions every 6 months dont work on this game.
All good - I worked for SAIC as a contractor and the US Army years and years ago and heard it said both ways. I've heard the C stand for company, contractor, or, yes, cooperation. Although, I think the one that called it a cooperation was French and they are not around anymore.
Wipes are necessary because when you get rich and beat everything there is no purpose the enjoyment you get in these games is gaining and when you have it all you dont gain there becomes lack of purpose
Yes - as apposed to having a constant map that is up at all times, like Battlefield, CoD, Valorant, or many other shooters - a little circle or square in one corner or the other, showing where you are and some info on your surroundings. I like that this one is accessible but doesn't take up screen space at all times.
I think they should add a bunch of things that would be make the game even better. I havent gotten into sniping but i hope to soon, they should add range finders but we also need the x and y to determine bullet drops for it from long distances and elevation. Also think they should add different transports like maybe dirt bikes or even atvs you can buy once you increase your traders. Maybe even a crowbar or breaching charges for doors you are having trouble getting the keys for (but make it really expensive so searching for the key is easier choice). Thats what I can think of off the top of my head. I love this game
Completely agree - Yesterday, I was at Pha Lang airfield and there was a group of 6 players there, killing everything for over an hour, just looking for the hanger 3 key. I know that because one of them asked me if I had it and I always carry that key when I am there. I am happy to help anyone out but, if the drop rates for keys are going to be this low, breaching tools need to be a thing. In all reality, most of the locked doors look like they would fold in half if I kicked them so it seems overkill to use a charge, Halligan tool, or even a ram. I would start by armoring locked doors and then make the only ways through to use something loud, heavy, or expensive. Out of frustration, I have picked up a dead enemy's shotgun and shot at the lock and hinges of a door... no luck.
@@UnreliableProject yeah that would be a great idea. Ram would be awesome! Currently i finished all the tasks so all im doing now is farming keys, but I do know they are going to wipe characters, do you have any idea if that starts with the next update? I haven’t read into at all. I hope they add more weapons too, I feel theres too little variations of weapons
yea, I really don't understand peoples love for wipes. its such a small percentage of the player base that wants them. but maybe they spend the most money, idk. but unless you no-life these games, wipes are just a buzz kill
I have a 3080 card and I struggle to run the game. I don't think I should have to buy a 40 series card.. I got about 10 minutes in game then went to another
Why do you think resets shouldn't happen in games like this?.... You do realize the very reason extraction shooter genre thrives is off wipes and new seasons.... Everytime tarkov wipes everyone is at even playing field there isn't a level 90 chad full geared clapping my cheeks as a level 10.. Everyone is at even playing field almost all of my favorite types to play tarkov or other extraction type games are on wipe... there is nothing more entertaining then getting your buddies together and working on all the quests while running into other doing the quest and nethier side is super geared so its much more even fights.... ask any extraction shooter player... the low level-mid level geared fights are 100 times more fun then playing end-game against some chad with max tier armor and best bullets with insane helmet it just becomes a bullet sponge fest between the two of you... i mean if it wasn't too hard for the developers i could see them adding a normal server for people like you where the game never gets wiped... and then the seasonal server where its wiped every 4-5 months... but i guarantee you would be back on season server within the quickness when you realize all the players that stuck on the normal server are extreme chads that are overgeared.... this is also coming from someone who hates when my progression is removed like i play games like World of Warcraft and FF14 and that would suck to have my progress reset and i'd never play again but its comparing apples to oranges.... this type of genre thrives off resets with new content updates on the reset... like i said maybe in best of both worlds they add servers for both of people that like and dislike resets... but your not gonna like it, its gonna be extreme sweat fest...
Thank you for asking this as I should probably elaborate further on my statement on character wipes. I absolutely agree with much of your comment however, in my opinion, this game is different enough from Escape From Tarkov that I do not see the account wipes helping the same ways they perceivably helped on that title. The main factor for my opinion is that I feel PVP in GZW is not really functional currently. I have already run into top tier chads in low level LZ’s who wipe choppers full of players just because they can, team killing trolls with multiple accounts who server hop till they find the person that killed them, and teams of snipers who just sit at LZ’s all day to farm gear from players. I know a character wipe is not going to dissuade these people because they have way more time than the casual player of this game, mostly work in groups, and will have top tier gear within the first couple weeks. The impediment remains regardless of how often a wipe is enforced. The second reason is that people who can’t play this game as often as your top tier chads will likely not be getting to 40, getting the highest level gear, or see higher level areas within 6 months. With enforced character wipes, they never will, whether they are on a PVP sever or not. I am also considering the marketability of this title when I discuss this. There will be far fewer players if you decide to cater to top tier players only. Wipes slow down your constant, adamant players but terminate your introductory and beginner player base over time. This is why I left Tarkov. I have a very time consuming job that does not stop when I go home, I have a family, I travel at times, and have limited time to play. Lastly, there are far better ways to deter trolls and chads from dominating your PVP servers while simultaneously crushing your PVE players progress than having character wipes. This is lazy. Change the dynamic of accessibility to PVP regions, change what the PVP loot tables are, or find a way to defend LZ’s. You could make the center of the map like the dark zone in the Division, use UNLA teams to guard LZ’s since they are agnostic to factions wars, have inbound helicopters shoot at enemy players during landings or pickups, or have separate LZ’s for each faction. Either way, I feel there are better ways to approach this issue.
@@UnreliableProject As a gamer its scary that as a game dev you don't understand that catering to multiple audience types is a great way to kill your game. Tarkove is successful because they stay focused on the hardcore player base and the original dream they promised, trying to cater to people who don't have enough time is pure insanity, this is a hard core game for people who have the time. If you played Tarkove then you should understand that the wipes are a chance for "the player base who doesn't have time" to be on an even playing field with the more dedicated player base. No wipes = getting destroyed by better geared player FOREVER ( Also theirs PVE Tarkove if you don't want a wipe ). Hard core games reward time spent, so regardless of your gear players with more time will put you in the dirt. A lot of games have tried breaking up areas and it never works out with the hardcore audience, also that defeats the point of an open world hardcore pvp game, basically defeats the point of the game as a whole. Anything like zones for pvp would only kill the game, and divide the player base, that's a complete betrayal to the pvp player base. The pve players will still be on the pve servers. Alot of the stuff you said really shows you have the mind of a old school Dev and not of a modern day gamer, and ya everyone feels like theirs a better way to handle it but no one knows THE WAY TO HANDEL IT. The helicopters having more randomized landing locations would be a better first attempt at a fix, in my opinion, maybe an Ai on the helicopter that if you shoot near the chopper the AI just shoots you back. Also form your gameplay, i can tell you play games about 10% as much as the people your making them for, so keep in mind your perspective is not that of a gamer, so you don't understand how casual games are a waste of time for gamers who spend 6 to 13 hours a day gaming, and want a long term committed experience. The "gamers" in Gray Zone have end game gear in 3 to 5 days, so until they add at least 20 times the current content, wipes are required. I am only saying this conversationally not aggressively, i hope to broaden you perspective, and id love you hear your views on my take or anyone else also. 😁
The idea of doing the same brain numbing missions all over again doesn not entice me. At least half of the reson that this missions where bearable is that you got to explore the map, having done that now they would just be a boring chore.
As a fully solo player who enjoys both PvP and PvE modes, I have to disagree. Wipe brings excitement back to the game. After running around with full chad kits and clearing all quests by week 2 of EA there's only so much you can do before you get bored. And boredom is what kills games like this. So wiping and bringing in new mechanics or events is crucial for games like this. Otherwise the entirety of the playerbase will grow stale and move on to other games. If this game is going to thrive, wipe is necessary. They just have to make sure the new mechanics and events are interesting enough to bring people back. @UnreliableProject
I am gonna disagree and agree all at the same time. I disagree because wipes are very lazy of a route to make the game fun again compared to making a loop that is consistently fun. Tarkov doesn't wipe because it wants players to be on even ground it wipes for new content and for big updates it's why wipes aren't consistent like say rust. They don't intend to keep wipes as a mechanic when they fully launch either they plan to have hundreds of hours of content and then just let the player go and have options. Wiping is also a lazy route for gray zone and shouldn't be the standard. Wiping should never be used as a way to bring people back in because you won't be on even playing ground for more than a couple days if at all because sweats will out race you and will make that gear gap in a matter of like 2 weeks out of your 6 months. Wiping just gives you the illusion of even ground and fun but in actuality it's having a mix of some geared guys some moderate and some low that makes the game interesting and enjoyable because sometimes you'll have an uphill battle or an easy wipe but for that to work and work well you can't rely on wipes and you can't just let things get stale cause then everyone will be at the end. Also to the guy below who said extraction shooters live based off of their hardcore player base and that not catering to new players is how it should be you're the reason extraction shooters die so often. No game will ever or should ever be designed for the hardcore dedicated people who wouldn't drop the game even if their hand fell off because they already play and aren't gonna give up the game not to mention they take up maybe 20% of the total player base meaning unless you wanna sink your game company and your game along side it you need to cater to as many people as you can. I'm not saying make it a baby game but you need to be it accessible to most average people. That means tutorials, some sort of map, and giving them as much time as they need to progress not just stripping them of everything randomly. Tarkov does it again because it has to not because it wants to. Wipes are not a good practice unless your game is built around that like rust
after 600 hours played and lvl 50 grind im in love with the game its nothing i have every played and from time to time i do play it like cod and i for sure die as soon as i do that. i agree slings would be sick.. honestly the AI is hard it forces u to do different shit but the whole 180 snap 1 taps needs to get fixxed... i have just got a lil board with it after hitting lvl 50 there's nothing else to do but when i do play i now got help the new guys in the starter town if they need it... also pvp just sucks i refuse to play it with the LZ campers or team killers and u dont get XP for killing a person there so wont help with the lvl 50 grind so to me it was pointless
Totally agree - There are a ton of ways to add both content and a little randomness to the game that I think would keep people coming back but, in it's current state, I don't think PVP in this game is viable. I feel like the theory was kind of created in a vacuum and we are in a state of "it looks good on paper," but does not work when you introduce "people." As long as the opportunity exists to kill people before they can even fight back, MANY people will do that constantly. Also, thank you for helping newer players... It is awesome when anyone can help with keys, harder enemies, or just quest details. I wish there was a "veterans" or "prestige" system built into this game where helping lower level players gave you something - items, some form of currency, or something.
@@UnreliableProject YES... i would have been at 50 a while ago if i didnt help squad mates get all the tasks done so it would be awesome if you could something for helping them...
