Another EFT Podcast: Nikita, Shroud, DrLupo, Klean
TLDR:
1- Still there is big debate about preventing hatchling runs, either through preventing barter items from going into secure containers (Nikita's Idea), you can't actually queue unless you have gun, implement gear score system which will limit you from queue unless you meet requirements, hatchling spawn late 5 mins to raid. So the solution still under debate right now.
2- the loot table will be dynamic, the more specific items being looted the less being available. Nikita said right now raids providing an infinite amount of weapons and items, the more you do the more you extract with. The prices of items will start to go up in the flee market because raids started to dry out from these items. (actually, this POV was mentioned multiple times by Nikita long time back in Podcasts and I'm not a fan of it actually)
3- Scav especially hunter scavs will spawn with new .209 rifle, Nikita agrees that it doesn't make sense scavs are using military-grade ammo in the city.
4- Maps will be connected to each other, you take the train from the military base it will drop you off in the lighthouse map as for the looted gear you will be able to pay 3k rub to vehicle extract to unload your loot back to your hideout while you continue raiding in the next area.
5- Shroud stated that if this is the case the raids will take around 2 hours to complete and Nikita said yea.
6- Customs map will be expanded from the factory and warehouses side to make it a less linear map.
7- Interchange map will get 2 extra extraction points to mitigate campers.
8- The military base will get extra scav extraction.
9- they will add a huge tunnel network underground of the military base.
10- more optimization of military base performance.
11- randomizing the location of keycards (maybe keys also but what he mentioned was keycards) that means keycard can spawn in between 40 to 50 different locations to prevent rushing to the known location and secret stashes will be dynamic they won't be always there.
12- Storyline quests will be implemented and will give you the backstory behind Bears, USEC, SCAV, Cultists and raiders and he says they are pretty cool quests.
13- You will be able to customize your plate carriers and rigs, rigs slots will be customizable to suit our loadout, and plate carriers will be customizable like add additional armor to your thorax or stomach to prevent being targeted to these areas. These will customizable items different than what being offered by Traders.
14- Malfunctions, weapon jams and overheating will be introduced so we have to take care of weapon repair and its durability.
15- Cleaning and repairing will be important to prevent malfunctioning weapons.
16- Shroud and DrLupo stating their concerns they have plenty of hours to go extract from raid to enter another raid map but casual players who have 2 hours to play a day they can't do that.
17- Shroud and DrLupo don't like to hear footsteps in the ground floor of interchange while they are in the garage of interchange, Nikita said they isolated the footsteps by floor in interchange and it might be a bug.
18- Steam audio will be implemented and it is their first priority and will change the sound direction and reflection of the sound from rooms and floors.
19- VOIP, Compass is coming with Steam audio in the same patch.
20- They will address the sensitivity of different scopes.
21- They stated there is a bug with sound direction when you hear someone below or above you directly sound like he is in front of you and needs to be fixed.
22- Klean suggested to add scav inside Dorms and Resort to prevent hatchling runs and Nikita noted it.
23- Checking low ammo magazine won't be back to gun you will switch directly to fully mag directly.
24- switch to pistol will be faster.
25- Thermal googles won't be secured into secure containers.
26- They requested to be able to cancel surgical kit animation if they felt they are in danger because it locks you in place, Nikita refused.
27- Nikita intentionally nerfed FLIR scope from being 60 Hz.
28- 5 more planned Thermal scopes and they will balance them all together. Escape from Tarkov needs to change its name to Escape from Thermal LOL.
29- Scav bosses and raiders will have less precision with their grenades.
Sorry for my English or anything I missed, you can add below from watching the video.
Edit: One major feature will be implemented for Flee market I forgot to add, they will add a Captcha feature or like minigame to resolve when the game detects you are buying and selling continuously to prevent scripts or bots from manipulation of the market. It only appears when it detects you are camping the market basically ..pretty cool idea actually.
