An Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode MTB and Ronal talk about the task system at large after MTBtrigger talks through his final tasks, and the challenges he had completing them to get the kappa container.
The big revelation that came out of completing the Kappa quests was that it is very difficult, and almost ruins the fun, when you try to get one task complete.  Specifically, MTB talks about how trying to get players into the ‘shooter born in heaven’ situation on Interchange is super challenging when that is ALL you are trying to do.  Other players do not want to be shot at long distances… they don’t stand still… UGH.  Both hosts then recall that some of their best experiences in the game are when they just take what the game gives them and aren’t super focused on getting something done.  We know it can’t always be this way, but Tarkov gets VERY challenging, especially in PVP, when you have just ONE thing to do - we’ll be working on ways to not put ourselves in this situation again.
This concept led into the hosts talking about their experience with world of warcraft and the evolution of quests over time in that MMO world.  They debated whether a rotating daily or weekly task system would be viable.  Furthermore they talked about the sustainability of a relatively unchanging task system with the only end game result being a larger secure container
MTB tries to get some Flea Market Illuminati information out of Ronal - he fails.
Ronal pivots into a conversation about how he is using his last days, weeks, or however long this patch lasts, to practice using very little gear and fighting geared players.  Unkitted AKs, no grenades, and class 2 or 3 armor.  
Lastly, ‘we’  (MTB and Ronal), get a TON of questions about upgrading PCs, buying new PCs, and the ‘best’ settings in game.  The truth is there are a number of things that are very helpful to in game performance that have nothing to do with Tarkov itself.  Many of these are windows settings or hardware settings.  Ronal, putting his IT background to use, goes through, in great detail (click by click) and shows you how to optimize your computer and then jumps into the settings for Tarkov itself to help you get the BEST POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE out of this game.  Check this video out - many people have been responding and let us know that they are seeing VERY significant improvements to in game FPS.
