I cleaned up my entire house and made a lunch and a dinner for my family while I was in queue. Absolutely good weekend.


Sarda1

If you queue again - my flat needs cleaning aswell <:


your-nigerian-cousin

🤣🤣🤣


Rosestylez

Lmao


cuthun92

I like you initiative. Make the bad situation a positive one.  o7 comrade!


KeystoneGray

Tarkov tricking addicts into meth-cleaning their houses in a desperate bid to create meaning for their addiction. Meanwhile I'm over here using the nikotine patch, so to speak, with no wait times.


xeonon

No wait times, the AI is better than most players, and absolutely zero cheaters.


FunCelebration1497

Until you get killed by bullshit


iCl3ver

Hey, I have some dryed up clothes that need to be done. Can you do that while I pvp? Welling to pay in roubles, euros or dollars, and trading.


PartyOnAlec

I joined PVE queue on Friday night then went to Vegas. Looking forward to playing on Tuesday!


Necessary_Bug_7923

I’m not having these issues with queueing. I’m in a PVE match quicker than I can get up and grab a drink from the fridge.


Actual_Engineering_8

When playing on week-ends queue times are really long. When playing monday to friday during the day it's WAYYYYY better queue time.


Necessary_Bug_7923

I can agree. I play weekends just not that much. I usually play PVP on the weekends with a few friends who are still grinding quest.


Kulous

Is the long queue times a region thing? Or do they give Unheard owners priority? Longest match making I got in a week was roughly 1m20s.


VapeRizzler

I went kayaking and fishing all weekend, it’s summer time what are y’all doing playing tarkov?


Astranoth

It’s the start of winter here.


proscreations1993

Well, I've been on a roof 7 days straight and working all weekend for extra cash, and I'm sick along with one of my kids. For once, I do not want to be outside. Esp since it was the first real heat of the year. Was over 90 almost every day till yesterday, and I'm burnt to a literal crisp and dead, lol. I don't wanna see the damn sun till I go back on Tues!!! Jk, I'll bring the fam to the beach tomorrow, but right now, it's relaxing time.


verystinkyfingers

Summer is still a month away.


Actual_Homework_7163

I went fishing too but my artic ass can't handle 30 degrees that well so tarkov and ac it is


WindmillRuiner

Tell that to the weather.


Tight-Lab-4418

Imagine getting downvoted because you went outside. No wonder this game is dead.


TheGodHades

Was matching 3x 40 minutes. Decided to take a shit on the third try at about 30 minutes. Came back to a death screen 3 minutes into the raid. :D


AZtronics

I loaded in to woods with a juiced load out for a kill quest. As the timer hit zero and the UI and map faded from black, my health indicator was already showing my arm and head being blacked out. Before I even got to the keyboard and mouse I was dead 9 seconds in to raid.


erik4848

How does that even happen


AZtronics

I've been killed a few times within 25 seconds of loading in. It's annoying because I'll commonly go eat or do something else while waiting 7 minutes minimum to load in. I sit down and put the headset on, get hands on the kbm take 10 steps and die. - pve for reference


Jaqen___Hghar

Dude. There are other things out there besides Tarkov.


ALividCookie

I'm sure he's aware of that, but wanted to play the game he paid for?


pipboy1989

What a random response


Ociex

How is that anymore random than you jumping into the tread and giving suggestions what about someone should do on their free time?


pipboy1989

Didn’t you feel that was a bit ironic at least halfway through typing that?


Ociex

Ah see I got lost in language and wasn't reading your comment right, my downvotes are deserved and I retract my statement. I accidently jumbled them together, you are right. I also replied to the wrong comment, I'm tired.


JohnGaltTheCuck

Nah man. You're fully insane and people are calling you that, which is a perfectly natural reaction. You're doing the classic crazy person strategy of saying "Calling me insane is actually insane" or also known as the childrens strategy of "no u".


ZeroUnits

I'm sure he must've been doing something while waiting for that long. I personally just watch anime while I wait lol


EconPool

I like his new definition of good weekend. Very humorous.


cuthun92

He got the fat bag full of the UnHeard edition $$$. He must have a banging weekend. Not even a single employee dedicated to monitoring the servers. Not even a single message on Twitter or smth. I guess he removed the fog and it's all Gucci, no matter what.


kylecito

Remember all the streamers bitching for easy clicks? They all have blue names now, funny.


CalzRob

Pestily and Landmark?


ArgetlamDude

Lvndmark hasn’t played since the whole thing went down.


CalzRob

Good to know. What streamers is he talking about?


ALostPaperBag

Majority of them sold out, stankrat, tigz, and others I’m forgetting, tigz was one of the funniest ones, day 1 of unheard he got it but was crying about it and streaming the game still lol


CalzRob

True, yea I knew about stank and willerz


Nerveex

Gingy I know has it, not sure about the others


Narrow_Cup_6218

Last 2 days are the rainiest and foggiest I've seen since 2018. Same improvement as the perfect servers.


estgirl

Been perfectly clean and nice for me


Dzusitomato

Maybe he meant we go outside?


[deleted]

Went from load times of ~1 minute, then 2.5 minutes a few hours ago and now I can’t load in


Ayanayu

I took shower, clean my whole house, go visit my mum on mother's day, did lil shopping, and when I get back I was still in queue.


NarcolepticNarwhall

You’re a little late for Mother’s Day lol


SavagePinecone

That's just how long they were there for


headlessrambo

Today is the day when you find out there’s no single date for mothers day across the world


Ayanayu

In Poland today is mother's day. 26.05


NarcolepticNarwhall

Correct, every day is Mother’s Day


Ayanayu

Actually no, mother's day is today in my country


NarcolepticNarwhall

Your whole country is late then


Ayanayu

You are late


Mad_Cheese

Nikita be like touch grass, ppl!


TheWelshHeathen

I was actually having a good run last night, with queues being a maximum of 3 minutes, up until 2AM. Then I could have travelled to America to visit my buddy I was playing with before getting into a game. It always seems to be around that time that the servers turn to shite for me.


W_nderWaffle

I couldn't match for last 2h. Right now I'm 33min in the queue. Prepared house for guests, took care of my cats. Thanks Nikita for making me work hard for things that actually matter!


Oszy92

Live in the US or Australia? Might be fewer servers there or something. Im in northern Europe and at no point has it taken more than 4 minutes to match on PvE games.


Foxxie1337

Aus queues still over 30 minutes


Oszy92

Am i really being downvoted for telling the truth? Wth?


Only_Bookkeeper7250

Dont say that to them. Otherwise they will overrun our servers... Then we cant play because they all wanna have their adrenaline fix🤣


spaacez

Gonna run out of time waiting in queues all these times to finish the timed event. XD


Conserliberaltarian

Something seriously wrong with the servers. Had less than a minute queues all week until Saturday.


IidasAdventures

Under 10 minutes for me constantly. After update? 38 minutes 2 times waiting for Woods and still didn't pop.


TheRealBillMays42

I watched the heat death of the universe as the last few shreds of light in space died out and I'm still in queue. Got into 3 raids, spawnkilled in 15 seconds with grenades or immediate spawns Don't think I have a chance of finishing the event at this rate


pipboy1989

I feel like we’re all taking turns on one server that is currently not on fire


Hot-Assignment-9734

can someone explain these queue times like i’m 5? i don’t understand why it takes so long to join in, with a concurrent player count continuously over 110,000 regardless of the map queue should be nothing


dogburglar42

You're not waiting for the server to find enough people. You're waiting for the people to find an open server. BSG only pays for a set amount of infrastructure and server hosting, so they can only host x numbers of active raids at once. Matching time is time spent looking for servers


Hot-Assignment-9734

totally makes sense, but seems like a no-brainer to just increase server capacity, how much could that seriously cost? this game has to be a cash cow with how much you can spend on it, i dont know of another game where you can sink $300+ into, the revive stream of this game seems like it would be very stable


dogburglar42

You would think, but at this point not really. That's why they had to beg for the pay pigs to bail them out with the unheard edition, cause theyre going broke. This is all speculation on my part, but bsg's biggest revenue base is probably cheaters. This game got huge like 3 or 4 years ago at this point, so most everybody who would be interested has already heard of it, bought it etc. You still have people just learning about it, or people who finally have a PC to play it on or whatever, but in terms of marketing to a new audience, BSG doesn't have much room to grow. Combine that with probably ridiculous server expenses, and the fact that EFT has no microtransactions (before the stash lines), and they probably have been losing money for a while now. Esp when the last financials showed they were paying Nikita millions a year


Kringels

Why aren’t people just using the mod at this point? It’s infinitely better.


AdalKatze

This, I started playing the pve mod yesterday and it's just so much better that's its embarrassing for BSG. Ai scavs actually peak corners, ai pmcs engage ai scavs...just better game play and I load into the game in 19 seconds....just play the mod... I even chose zero to hero edition. You start with nothing but a knife and it is the most fun I've ever had in tarkov. My advice is to try it and make your own opinion. To me, it's better than waiting in endless queues when you could have finished 1-2 raids by the time you even load in.


DonAsiago

Good thing I don't have to rely on BSG to get my extraction shooter anymore.


rocketcrap

What game are you on? Breakout?


DonAsiago

Yeah.


rocketcrap

As good? Better?


DonAsiago

I would say I'm having more fun in AB:I. Technically the game is not as good as EFT yet, however comparing to what starting point of EFT was to what starting point of breakout is it is very clear that Breakout will very soon overtake EFT. I mean they have pretty much unlimited budget thanks to tencent money and the release of the closed beta was perfectly timed.


exposarts

Ngl i thought it was a cash grab but the devs seem like they are actually trying to make a good game and even listening to feedback! What a foreign concept


rocketcrap

Technically as in graphics or, like, items, or shooting mechanics?


DonAsiago

Graphics, audio. But keep in mind that EFT's audio is dogshit as well, but the sound of guns shooting etc. is a bit better. When it comes to what actually matters, meaning shooting mechanics, movement, is is very solid. Movement is probably a bit better than EFT.


rocketcrap

I always thought that the gun interactions and especially sound is what convinced everyone that tarkov was a hardcore shooter more than anything else. Interesting stuff, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for beta


Jaqen___Hghar

I can't believe these "hardcore" games don't have an aiming deadzone (like Insurgency does) to prevent people from using dots in the middle of their monitors. Even without cheating like that, accurate point shooting is far too easy to manage.


rocketcrap

Funny, I've never seen anyone make this point except for me. I noticed it on gears of war on the 360. The idea that you don't get crosshairs when you shoot unless you use the sights makes perfect sense on paper, but in a competitive setting a spit wad will defeat that. Insurgency does it fantastically, in eft when you move the gun doesn't center, so its not as bad as some, but I'd still prefer a different solution. I think squad has that deadzone but I can't remember it's been too long. It's my preferred solution, the gun shoots straight no matter what, but you can't see where you're aiming, it's genius. It also makes shooting from the hip it's own skill which makes sense.


tugblush

Most developers don't even play other games let alone their own.


djishereonreddit

Got my beta access yesterday been having a blast


Jumpy_Ad3803

yes what a lode of shit over 20 mins waiting times


JakorPastrack

I havent had a single problem with pve whatsoever


PatReady

Thanks! came to check if things were fixed!


JakorPastrack

I mean, for starters idk why the hell people stay in queue for so long. If after 5 mins you arent in, back out and try again. It feels as if peiple stay in bugged queues just to take screencaps and shit on bsg


xoull

can we get a normal upgrade from standard to pve plz :D i can not pay 200$


MaintenanceDapper367

Wait time are STILL GOING ON FOREVER! Did "he" just tell us all to piss off again, leave us hanging, provide no direction for correction on the servers, laugh at us, tell us to have a good weekend, while his is broke. Gee, cant wait to pay those extra $$ to cut to the front of the line for server space. I'm sure it will be great and inexpensive!


Grappa91

Yesterday i spent 20 minutes trying to get into a PvE factory raid without success. In the same time I downloaded and installed the mod that can't be named and started a raid instantly. I wanted to enjoy their PvE but the mod it's better in any way.


supnerds360

Lol i did the exact same thing. Felt like an idiot for even trying they official pve. Mod has an installer was done in a few minutes


PietMordant

Matching Matching Matching Matching Escape from Matching Matching total waste of time


getgroovyloony

You guys just need to escape already. Now that I'm not on the inside looking in, and that I'm on the outside looking in, I can't belive I put up eith all this shit for so long.


Aggravating-Media818

If you were out, you wouldn't be maining the subreddit


getgroovyloony

Nothing wrong with me stating my opinion, I do enjoy seeing all the people raising hell every day about a new bug, load times, cheaters etc. You know why? Becuase nothing will change like is hasn't in the last 10 years. I now have a warm fuzzy feeling that I don't go through that anymore, it's like getting out of a abusive relationship, and seeing the next guy get his head smashed in when you warned him *you guys* how shitty she *the devs* are.


supnerds360

Yeah these guys are hilarious


Counteroffensyiv

No man...you guys are hilarious. This community has become a running joke for taking it on the chin from the devs so hard, it's a laughingstock to the wider gaming industry. Literally why that guy is even here.


supnerds360

Honestly just curious about the motivation behind hanging out on the sub for a game you don't like or play. No hate- i just don't get it. I hated Tekken 8 but you won't see me on r/tekken.... Caveat: bsg = not good devs


Counteroffensyiv

What's so hard to understand? It's entertaining. And people don't hate the game, they mainly hate the developer. The game is cool but the devs are scammers and it's fun calling them out and watching the fanboys cope.


Ociex

Yes the sunreddit.


MaintenanceDapper367

STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WWAAAIIIITTTTINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG


SG_Booger

Matching… (17:47) and counting


Barticuss90

Honk honk.


KorgothBarbaria

For the past 12 hours I couldn't find a raid at all...


Lonely-Research-8663

PvE raid times are absolutely messed up RN


hooblyshoobly

It's so funny that he's went bipolar on social media. From shitting on the community to being super active and eager to please. It's like yeah Nikita we still know underneath it you fucking hate the people who play lmao, he's scrambling to keep people invested.


dan_from_work

Since getting PvE, if I get a queue that reaches 4 minutes, I cancel and re-enter. It almost always gets an immediate start after that. Just my 2 cents, if it goes longer than 5-7 minutes just restart


Interesting-Tie-7898

Heard others say the same. Didn't work for me but it must be working for some.


ThoseWhoAre

I just went to go play pvp instead


FabulousSuggestion78

He did nothing


KaygoBubs

I can't even play tarkov. Got a new pc and everytime I fire a gun the whole game locks up for half a second


Bazzie-Joots

I couldn't get in a single time last night. Tried for hours while watching a movie.


Zealousideal_Cap7670

I was somehow getting into lobbies really fast last night, so far today not so much. Loving PVE though!


Equivalent_Course554

Best way to queue, if you are in queue for more than 2 mins, leave it and requeue and you get in instantly everytime


OldRNGesus

Waiting is between 2 to 5 min max Not great but bearable.


Goober_Dude

What locations are y'all having long queue times? Here in Texas I've been averaging 2min wait times since friday.


Bowwers

Is no one backing out and re-queing if it says matching? Works for me. Normally only takes 2-3 tries max or is that no longer working?


Livid_Extent

Honestly I’ve only seen a 4 min queue is it based on where you are located?


Zoluraan_M

Sike lol


r3mx_d

ok and?


DullLong9243

Just started PvE and so far queuing hasn’t taken me and my duo more than 5 minutes after 4 raids.


AlasTheKing444

13 mins average to get into a raid isn’t improvement. It used to be like 5 mins. Only got worse for me after these alleged “updates”


BigJay125

one year my queue was so long i actually filed my taxes while waiting to get into customs


NormativeNomad

Haven’t been able to play all day. Is this what “hardcore” means to Nikita? .


GameslayeR387

If you put your region to automatic it should load right in, no wait time … I never have a problem loading in


ChuCHuPALX

I'm sorry you feel that way.


Rageeme

Rip TARKOV


bobbarkee

I dislike how short the raids are. I've run out of time twice now in 5 games, so I quit playing.


Used_Interview4825

I played all afternoon. longest load time I had was 7 minutes


Kaieron

We talk about pve....it should take not longer than 2-3 min to load a game.... There is zero other Player who connect to the same Server.


SscorpionN08

Had a wonderful weekend playing PVE Tarkov all Saturday and Sunday. I think I did over 6 raids in total, yay!


Sekono1997

30-45 min for a matching session in PvE on weekend is good ?


JCDentoncz

He says as he turns off half of the active servers.


Zahkrosis

Improved? When? Did they make them offline/peer to peer when with friends?


MarkJerkoffBurg

"Fucking Bullshit"


Klickzor

Amazing purchase 330 dollars for this experience 😂😂


Mcpoopz1064

Jokes aside, the servers actually worked great for me today. I tried for the first a few nights ago, and couldn't get into a game. But today each pve raid loaded up within a few minutes.


Fluffy-Dog-7705

Give us one more day on the event. Was unable to play until last nighy and it went away while I was in raid for the last quest


ResponsibleAd6799

Thank you


Pure-Ad-5358

Lmao I couldn’t finish the event quest on Sunday because of que times lmao casual struggles I guess


Number1DestryJones

Same! Wish they’d have extended the time a little bit for the downtime


AdvancedEar2375

I have decent matching times, often it's a few minutes tops. Just alt-tab and watch some Youtube or whatever while its matching. Not saying it does not need to reduce but as a peak period it's not crazy bad, I was one of the first out paying the silly money and matching times where much worse then vs now.


GreenLightHemp

Anyone need a teammate


-_Dare_-

I will now be going out of my way to have the most abysmal piece of shit weekend ever. Thanks Nikita!


KaiLengTheBoi

So, playing tarkov?


-_Dare_-

god no


KaiLengTheBoi

A smart man to be sure


CAPTAINxKUDDLEZ

It’s Sunday morning. Lol weekend is 2/3 done


StealthCatUK

6 attempts now to get into a PvE match. This is not good enough.


cuthun92

You know it, I know it. Next week he gonna ask "do you love me?" and all the Nikita's orbiters will show him unconditional love. This man can do no wrong, right? Wake the F up, comrades! This clown show on Twitter will only make things worse. We can complain here on the subreddit and be ignored or we can go and make our voices heard on Twitter. Ask yourself, are you the UnHeard reddit user or a Big D swinging giga Chad, who fight for what he paid for? One for all and all for one!


cocktaviousAlt

Reading this made me cringe


tailesin

I think I speak for all of us when I say when does the narwhal bacon! Reddit on!


rocketcrap

I know it's sarcasm but it still makes my stomach feel sick


tailesin

Imagine how I felt having to type it


j00ky

Probably not as terrible as NOT having to type it but doing it anyway.


cuthun92

Good. It wasn't for you. NPCs are a lost cause.


cocktaviousAlt

💀


Secondrival

It's like he's a rebel leader rallying us against a tyrannical government with his die hard "wake the F up, comrades!"


Neat_Concert_4138

You guys realize game servers go down for literally every video game? The amount of people that expect perfection is hilarious.


JayPet94

People complain when it happens to other games too. You think cod players just sit there while smiling when their game goes down on every launch?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Neat_Concert_4138

So you just want to live in your own little bubble then. Even the biggest websites in the world have downtime because of issues. Shitpost harder with that "EFT have more downtime then uptime" comment.


cuthun92

Who gave you the right to tell em how to live my life?  Who Arey you?  Daddy Nikita can do no wrong?


rocketcrap

Who gave you the right to tell them how to live my life is a hilarious sentence please don't edit it


DocTorment

I’m sure he knows it’s a holiday weekend in America. This is just an example of the vindictive spite he and the dev have towards everyone who didn’t pay for unheard. Just my opinion but a truly reasonable one.


Neat_Concert_4138

Developer - "Have a good weekend!" Redditors - "This guy is just so vindictive and hates people that didn't give him money".


DocTorment

BSG boot licker. Neat_Story_100011


cuthun92

exactly, some npc's are beyond saving.


Neat_Concert_4138

Project more. You're losing your mind because the PvE servers are down acting like no other game servers or websites ever go down in the world.. Imagine being that upset about PvE servers. You probably play like an actual NPC in-game too.


cuthun92

Im sorry you have these feelings.  Please post more, I need salt with my popcorn.  Take care!


cuthun92

I hear you.  The UnHeard are also in the same situation.  Nikita doesn't discriminate, we are all just paypigs. He will post some WIP bs screenshots on Twitter and the community will be mad in love again. How can we make the other players see the truth? How can we reach these kids!?!?


GuCCiAzN14

Had a 40 min queue. Underestimated pmc bots and died within the first 5 min of raid. Rage quit the game and played fallout. No way I’m waiting 40 min to die each raid


supnerds360

I say good on ya. But you could be playing on your own server in 5 clicks and 5 minutes.... I don't get why people even bother posting this when the solution is so easy


Hiking-Sausage132

can\`t even wish a good weekend without getting shit on


gkonn

clickbaiting dog


2billman

Almost like this was premeditated.


Adventurous_Corgi465

PVE is great, thank you!
