Pri Battlestate Games so oznanili bližnji izid obsežne posodobitve 0.11 za njihovo realistično večigralsko preživetveno streljačino Escape from Tarkov, ki je trenutno še v zaprti beti. Izdali so tudi napovednik, v katerem so prikazali prihajajoče zadevščine. Popravek tokrat ne bo prišel s “čistko” napredka, dejali pa so, da se lahko v dnevih po izidu soočamo z latenco in težavami s povezljivostjo.
Skupaj s popravkom bomo dobili tudi prenovo zemljevida “Customs” in nov zemljevid “TerraGroup Labs“. Slednji bo ogromen podzemni laboratorij, skrivni kompleks pod osrčjem mesta Tarkov. Uradno so se v njem ukvarjali s testiranjem na področjih kemije, fizike, biologije in napredne tehnologije, sedaj pa v njegovem osrčju tavajo razbojniki.
Zraven PMC-jev se bomo v njem namreč lahko soočili z novo vrsto sovražnika. Gre za dobro opremljene, izurjene in oborožene različice smetiščnikov (Scav-ov). Če verjamemo govoricam so razbojniki bivši operaterji, ki so se odločili dezertirati in sodelovati z nekdanjo vojaško skupino. Navadno lahko nanje naletimo v mestih, kamor druga duša ne stopi, zato ni potrebno posebej poudarjati, da bodo svoj kotiček sveta branili z brutalno silo, v kolikor bo to potrebno. Ker so taktično bolj izurjeni od navadnih smetiščnikov, taktika bojevanja vključuje koordinirane napade, uporabo granat ter flashbang-ov, nadzorovala pa jih bo izključno umetna inteligenca.
“Ker je laboratorij zaprt kompleks, bo vključeval posebne vrste ekstrakcije. Nove mehanike bodo potrebovale določene predpogoje, preko katerih se bo nato odprl izhod, kjer bo možno pobegniti.” je dejal Nikita Buyanov, vodja studia Battlestate Games. “Možno je igrati diskretno in aktivirati tišje načine ekstrakcije in s tem zmanjšati možnost za odkritje, seveda pa se lahko igralec vedno posluži glasnega pristopa, ki bo aktiviral zvočni sistem v kompleksu in privabil razbojnike.”
S popravkom prihaja tudi nov šef smetiščnikov – Killa, osamljen borec ter bivši atlet, ki se drži zgolj lastnih pravil in preferira nasilje pred reševanjem konfliktov preko dialoga.
“Tip bo imel elitno opremo, težak oklep in prilagojeno čelado. Gre za zelo nevarnega nasprotnika” je nadaljeval Nikita Buyanov. “Uporablja lahko brzostrelko ali katero koli drugo avtomatsko orožje, s katerim zaposli sovražnika ter se ob tem počasi približuje za zadanje končnega udarca. Njegova taktika sestoji iz cik-cak premikanja iz kritja v kritje, granate, uporabo pokrivalnega ognja ter dimne granate. Šlo bo za težak boj. Mimogrede, zanj so sovražni tako PMC-ji, kot tudi drugi smetiščniki.”
Prihaja še ena nova stvar in sicer stimulansi. Njihova naloga je začasna izboljšava sposobnosti in karakteristik, a istočasno imajo lahko tudi negativni učinek na zdravje. Od sedaj bodo nekatera zdravila prav tako imela omejeno količino uporabe na misijo, analgin tablete bodo recimo lahko uporabljene do štirikrat.
“S popravkom prihaja tudi veliko število novih nalog za vse trgovce ter več kot 100 novih stvari. Vse od orožij ter dodatkov, kot so RPK-16, Remington 700 in nove variacije Mosin puške, orožja za spopad na blizu, noži, sekire, ledene sekire ter mačete, taktični meči ter ostalo; nova oprema, kot so recimo oklepi, taktični jopiči, čelade ter očala za nočni vid. Želim tudi dodati, da od sedaj naprej ne bo možno več pobirati orožij za spopad na blizu od mrtvih PMC-jev.”
Skupno z novo vsebino bi naj dobili tudi izboljšano optimizacijo, umetno inteligenco in večje število popravkov, več o tem pa bo znano v spisku sprememb.
“Naslednje leto v igro prihaja večje število novih mehanik, kot je zdravljenje izven igralnih seans, prilagajanje oblačil, VOIP, nadaljnji razvoj orožij in ostale opreme, nove sposobnosti, možnost izdelave lastnih pred-nastavljenih profilov orožij in še mnogo drugega. Nameravamo tudi konstantno izboljševati optimizacijo grafične ter spletne komponente, popravljati hrošče ter ostale spremembe. V bližnji prihodnosti bi naj prišlo tudi skrivališče, nove lokacije, orožja ter oprema, s tem pa tudi nova različica motorčka ter izboljšava grafike.
Točen čas izida popravka še ni znan, zato za več informacij spremljajte uradno Reddit stran igre ali njen Forum. Spodaj objavljamo tudi podrobne spremembe, ki nas čakajo (v angleškem jeziku).
Preliminary Patch Notes
The underground laboratory complex Terragroup Labs, is a secret facility beneath the centre of Tarkov. Officially, this research center does not appear on any lists and, according to fragmentary data, it is engaged in the studying, testing and modeling in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology and high technology.
As this location is considered to be closed, it has special types of extractions. New mechanics imply the need to meet certain conditions for the activation of the extraction. It is possible to activate extractions more covertly, discreetly, thereby reducing the chances of detection by raiders; or loud, what will lead to activation of laboratory announcement systems and will attract raiders to the source of noise. Raiders are a special kind of pve Scavs. It will be impossible to play as Raider.
