On this episode of the Pogcast we discuss the recent events that BSG did  that led to people traveling to real placed all over the world to find  messages. These lore focused events are really cool and often executed  really well but and up falling a bit flat on the community when they  don't lead to anything in game. We also talk about the drama around  Tarkov going on sale and revisit and idea t...

On this episode of the Pogcast we talk about the current state of PVP in Escape From Tarkov and how it feels like you are always supposed to do  the opposite if what you think. We talk about how it is impossible to be sneaky or covert in Tarkov, so that pushes people to be either  completely still or overly aggressive. We also talk about how many  encounters end up feeling suspicious, and how over...

On this episode of the Pogcast we update the conversation we had last  week about Nikita thinking about removing the flea market. We also got  some more context around his answer and what his vision for the economy  is. We also spend a lot of time theory crafting about how making more loot spawn in raids and making less loot infinitely purchasable could result in a more engaging and dynamic experi...

We also talk  about some recent bans that have seemingly come to the buyers of RMT  gear which could theoretically reduce cheating by reducing the amount of  people buying, but also has the potential...

We talk through the movements  and stamina systems as well as some fragmentation bugs new and old.

On this episode of the Pogcast we talk about how the player moves  throughout the world in Tarkov. We talk about how the stamina system prohibits a lot of movement and how the audio system pushes people to  either sit still or recklessly push in every fight.

On this episode of the Pogcast we discuss the most recent Tarkov Tv Live podcast with the devs of Escape From Tarkov. They updated us on a lot  of things and dropped some new information that was very unexpected.  They showed us more of Streets Of Tarkov and continued to say that it will be ready this year. Additionally they outlined that they will be removing Steam Audio and trying to find anothe...

On this episode of the Pogcast we again discuss the cheater problem in Tarkov. Some cheaters are getting more confident and using more blatant cheats in ways that they can't get reported. Additionally we discuss how  the game seems to be so broken that there is a "Tarkov" explanation for  almost every sus encounter making it almost impossible to actually know  who was cheating and who wasn't. Fell...

On this episode of the Pogcast we dive into Tarkov's latest patch that also included a fresh wipe! This is definitely a weird one, there was not a lot of content expected with this wipe but there are some standout  features that the community have been asking for for a long time that are awesome. In classic Tarkov fashion it seems like with every step forward there is a step backwards somewhere el...

On this episode of the Pogcast we discuss the state of the game a few  weeks after the wipe. The whole community seems to be experiencing  desync in some way but the problem is that so many different issued all  end up just being called "Desync". It's hard for players to tell whats  going on or what problems are connected, and it's hard for the  developers to know where to look when the feedback i...

On this episode of the podcast we discuss the changes that have come to Escape From Tarkov to prevent cheating and RMT. Nikita let us know that  the changes are working which is awesome! However some of the changes seem to make the game feel a little more clunky and confusing. It's a  complicated situation and we will never know for sure how well it works. We also talk about some new player animat...
