Also, Tarkov doesn’t do resets anymore I think? They only “reset” because that’s when they would implement new updates while the game was still pre 1.0

They'll separate it to a main character that doesn't lose progression and seasonal characters that lose progression and the first season actually starts next month, which means a direct headbump with marathons second season. It'll be interesting to see the player counts for both games when the updates happen next month. Nikita can do the funny thing starting the season off on the same day marathons second season starts now that the date is known.

This was ironically what kept me from playing Tarkov when it fully released, I liked having wipes. so having a seasonal character will be nice

I think Peak will go below 10k before season 2 and season 2 peak will be 20k. I’m being very generous because you can NEVER trust or predict the goy when it comes to their nigger slop.

5K is granted if there is new stuffs especially if it consists of D2PVP expats that forked the 40 dolla, they have a chance here of keeping a decent-ish numbers if they stall the D2 team and keep making new gun skins for ranked/seasons and shieet in marathong.

Yeah, along with a whole slew of other changes in an attempt to make the game more casual, like a gps system to find extracts, quests being shared among the team, team revives, reducing the requirements for quests and traders and many more. If Nikita goes through with 50% of what he promised the other day, it will be huge for tarkov, more than the 1.0 launch was. One positive thing you could say about marathon is, somehow it made tarkov better.

honestly this is more about uhh some immersion venue attempt, how it works is per player sure but it doesn't make the approach attempt any less valid, it works for some people but not for others, there's a reason they try even if some people think it's "cringe"...

if the player doesn't know something and the player character does then it's a very simple way to bridge the gap. but this thought exercise is way over the heads of most writers that don't know the difference between the two.

Years ago, I noticed that the game was almost entirely lacking in heterosexual relationships that don't end in tragedy (Crow/Amanda, Zavala/dead wife) or have something else wrong with them (Clovis Bray's relationship with his wife, parents of a kid who was the PoV of a lore entry being racist against the Fallen, Drifter having a thing for the Emissary's former identity, etc.). Gay relationships? All over the place! (Osiris/Saint obv, the Bray sisters having unnamed girlfriends, Micah's Two Dads, Mara trying to hook Crow up with one of Uldren's gay lovers as soon as Amanda has been disposed of, Awoken society in general). There's Drifter/Eris, I guess, but it took them forever to do anything with that and I don't know whether they did anything to ruin/destroy it since I stopped after Echoes. And some gender stuff goes back pretty far, there was a lore entry in Forsaken about the gender distribution of the Awoken in the Distributary, something like 2/3 female, with the remainder split around evenly between male and "otherwise."

Well to be fair the current big bad is driven by a toxic lesbian relationship so they don't portray all homo relationships as good.

Thankfully, not only did they not ruin Drifter/Eris, their romance is probably one of the better written in the series, with them finally making it official at the end of the Heresy storyline. I guess it helps that they naturally let it build up over time, starting from an uneasy working relationship to finding common ground through their histories and eventually developing romantic feelings for each other. Much better than pulling a "lol they're gay" card like with Osiris/Saint.

God, fuck that stupid faggot for ruining two of the potential best characters. He literally admitted in an interview that the two of them being buttbuddies was his headcanon that he immediately forced into being actual canon as soon as he got on the team. Never mind that there was absolutely nothing to suggest in lore that they were anything but close friends and battlefield comrades with a mutual respect for each other, nope, they were actually fucking each other up the ass every day! Faggot probably thinks Frodo and Sam were diddling on the way to Mount Doom.

Fag pandering is so tiresome, especially when it gets to such an absurd degree that gay characters and relationships outnumber straight ones multiple-to-one. It's even funnier when you have members of the group being pandered to that find it moronic, so you end up chasing away the normies without gaining enough of a new audience to stem the outflow. It's the "we want the Call of Duty audience" of the modern day, except it just ends up making everything lame and gay instead of generic shooter. Say what you will of the brown and bloom era, at least you weren't being eyeraped with gaudy colors and fag flags everywhere.

One has to wonder if that's part of why Marathon didn't become the huge success they were wanting. It seems pretty obvious that trannies glommed onto it immediately and started pumping out porn of remarkably unsexy characters (especially "lesbian" pairings because trannies), and that almost assuredly turned off some people who might have been on the fence about it. They're so pornbrained that they can't understand how a lot of people don't actually like getting bombarded with porn any time they want to have a discussion about something.
