Tarkov’s Final Wipe Before 1.0
(Intro)
Escape From Tarkov is getting one more wipe before the official release of the 1.0 game version. I’ll be honest, I was not only expecting no more wipes until the final game released, but I was also partly okay with that. BSG has had a roadmap set in place for a couple of months now, and so far, they have been on pace with everything they have wanted to release so far (the June update just released so hopefully it has a positive impact on the game). Has it magically fixed the game or added things people are raving about? No; Customs still runs terribly, and there are many things that still need to be tidied up before 1.0. In the meantime, Nikita has confirmed one more wipe. When? We have no idea, but I would have to imagine sooner rather than later. If the expected release date is the end of this year, with each passing month we don’t reset, that just makes the next wipe cycle that much shorter, and therefore, more awkward. Who is going to play Tarkov if the game wipes in say, October and then two months later we get another wipe with 1.0? It just wouldn’t make sense. Either way, the game will be resetting once more, so I wanted to not look forward, but instead, look back. Back at all the time I’ve personally spent with this game; and reflect a little on the highs and lows EFT has gone through over the years. This game’s development was never perfect; in fact, it was more problematic than perfect. But we still have something that some of us could be playing for almost a decade. And that is something worth talking about.
