2024 – A Year in Review
(Intro) Hello everyone. Hope you’re doing well. Today, we’ll just be going over 2024 and all that’s happened here on the channel. And there’s been a lot that has happened. Right out of the gate, 2024 was a very successful year for the channel. It’s grown quite a lot and I am so excited and happy that things are going well. So many new people have checked out the channel, which if you are from this year, glad to have you on board. Hope you are enjoying the videos. But in general, I’ve done this year in review for the past few years, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to sit down and just have a good chat with you about what’s happened and what to look forward to in 2025. This is very much going to be a more relaxed video; we’ll go over some fun statistics of the channel, some of the highs and lows that happened throughout and some potential goals for the next year. The background footage is just some raids from the recent Tarkov wipe that happened last week, plus maybe some other games. I’m not too sure. But let’s get into how this year has been and all that’s gone on.

Tarkov’s Flea Market has Changed Forever
(Intro) One of the most impactful changes to the flea market has come unexpectedly in the newest wipe, patch 0.16. It’s something BSG mentioned in passing during their October livestream but we didn’t have any context or clues as to how things were going to change. And now with the patch notes out and wipe dropped the day after Christmas, we know what they meant. This change alongside another one which we will talk about in a separate video, have very long lasting implications should these changes stand right now and stay for the duration of this and future wipe cycles. So let’s talk about the single biggest change that every play of every skill level will feel and have to adjust to.

Arena’s Player Fights Don’t Translate to Tarkov Very Well
(Intro) The skills and experience you gain when fighting other players in Arena doesn’t really translate over to Tarkov that well. Now that Arena has been out for some time with the revamped 2.0 version, that everyone is enjoying much more; after playing it and even the previous version for quite some time, you’d expect all the fighting you do to have a potentially more positive impact on your skills as a Tarkov player, but sadly that doesn’t feel like the case. Arena is such a condensed experience, that is strictly fighting other players. And while it sounds like that should make you better at fighting other players in the main game, Arena doesn’t take into consideration many of the other outside elements that are out of your control. You’re not always going to bump into another player at this exact spot. Every raid, people go into these maps for different reasons and goals, so how people navigate and make decisions is going to change every time you load in. So, yes, your shooting and aim might get better in Arena, but it seldom does little to improve your engagements in the main game, when it matters the most.

Notre Dame Crushes Indiana: Riley Leonard’s Star Performance Propels Irish to CFP Glory
Irish Clinches CFP with 48-7 Route of Indiana: Riley Leonard’s Star Turn I thought the battle between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Indiana Hoosiers would be that game, and I was right. In the cold of Notre Dame Stadium, though, the Irish, harnessing a heavy dose of quarterback Riley Leonard, had more firepower than the Hoosiers could keep up with. Scores of 52, 38 Go to this College Football Playoff showdown in a thrilling outing of skill, strategy and determination.

Our Bi-Annual Pre-Wipe Conversation
(Intro) Well, wipe is soon approaching. And with it, our inevitable conversation about what to expect and some reminders for those who will be participating in the festivities. It feels like we do this twice a year. Maybe because wipes have slowed down to a bi-yearly thing, or maybe just because when I look back at the last video in this vein, it was a little over three months ago. Which is on par with previous years. We get a six-to-eight-month long wipe cycle, and then a shorter three-to-four-month wipe before the winter reset. Wish it was an even half and half, but I’ll take what I can get at this point. But patch 0.16 does have some interesting stuff on the horizon. We talked about it when we went over the October TarkovTV livestream, but some of the highlights are new guns and gear of course, an update to Customs, more stuff to do on Woods, new QOL mechanics for healing and more. And of course, the resetting of everyone’s progress back to zero so we all start over once more. It’s a good time; people are able to run around and have those scrappy fights that feel more desperate than anything else. However, people sometimes forget the tried-and-true mentality everyone should go into a wipe with. Which is simply, enjoy the wipe at your own pace. Whether it’s fast or slow; if you want to blitz through the game and be in the same position you were days before the game reset, go for it. If not, take your time. There’s nothing wrong with that too.

The Armor Hitbox Changes Did Nothing for Tarkov
(Intro) Tarkov’s armor hitbox rework that occurred late last year feels as though it didn’t have the impact BSG wanted it to. Previously before the change, armor was a relatively straight forward system in regards to the areas of the body it protected. If you have armor on, at the very least your entire front and back were covered. Some armors had extra protection including the arms, but for the most part at the very least most of your vitals were covered even if you just had a humble paca armor equipped. But at the end of the 2023, BSG showed off some videos showcasing a completely reworked armor hitbox system that put protection value only where the armor’s protective plates actually covered. So, armor went from this all-encompassing shield into something players would need to seriously think about. Gone be the days of the slick and hex grids being the top two armors for their level six protection. In addition, being able to swap out the physical plates of an armor and have extra modularity in that regard was probably the best thing about this entire rework, and while we spoke about the plate system shortly after release, a year later, and the armor hitboxes don’t feel like they had the substantial impact we all thought they would. So, what changed from the old system to the new one? What were some of the growing pains that plagued the system to this day? And was the system overhaul even worth it in the first place?

The Art of Black-and-White
High-contrast sketch-style drawing is a work that rises above time, mixing effortlessness with refinement. Specialists, architects, and lovers have long respected its flexibility and profundity, as it offers vast opportunities for innovative articulation. This monochromatic methodology utilizes lines, concealing, and surfaces to make outwardly convincing and sincerely full masterpieces. Whether utilized in customary portrayals, computerized outlines, or marking, the high contrast sketch style catches the pith of imagination in its rawest and most rich structure.

What I Hope Tarkov's Final Map Brings to the Table
(Intro) About a week or so ago, Nikita on his Twitter released some screenshots showcasing the final map that will be added into the base game of Tarkov, Terminal. This has been a long time coming; over a decade's worth of work for the team and we are starting to see the beginning of the end. And while there isn’t a ton to chew on from just the pictures, I figured it was a good time to have a conversation about Terminal, and what personally I hope to get out of the game’s final location. The potential layout of the map, how large it might be, what we can expect for gameplay and maybe even some answers to questions we’ve had in regards to the actual lore of Tarkov that hasn’t been talked about in the game directly. I’ll be bringing up the pictures a bunch throughout this video so we can go over them, but just from the four he showed off, there some interesting stuff to unpack. So, let’s do just that.

The Weight of Expectations
It was still dark outside when Aisha's alarm blared, jolting her from a restless sleep. For the fifth time that week, her dream had been the same: the deafening roar of the crowd, the spotlight glaring on her, and her feet frozen at the start line. The world was watching, and she couldn’t move.

Is Tarkov’s Progression Screwed Up Forever?
(Intro) With the introduction of Arena’s 2.0 relaunch, one of the more enticing ideas that got added was for the ability to transfer money and items to and from both Tarkov and Arena. The cross-progression in the game makes for interesting situations where you might be playing Tarkov and go on a bad streak of deaths, to the point where you want to switch over to Arena and just play a couple matches to cool off without feeling the risk of and pain that comes with any loss in the main game. And while these ideas sounded interesting on paper, in actuality what has happened sadly, is the permanent shattering of the Tarkov economy forever. To be fair, Tarkov’s economy has never been properly balanced and that is unfortunately just the nature of the game itself. If you don’t log in everyday and play the game and do well, you won’t see tens of millions of rubles in your stash. And while I have always advocated for players having less and to feel the stress of making tough decisions while having limited supplies, the cross-progression change has essentially made that idea a dream that will sadly never happen.

Tarkov Stims Need More Debuffs
(Intro) Stimulants in Tarkov are powerful. But what makes them strong isn’t so much what their effects are, or how long they last, but instead the fact that many stimulants in the game have weak side effects after the buff wears off. For how diverse of a range the positive effects are and how useful they can be in a variety of situations, it’s strange to me that most of the stims almost have no downside to using them. Something that makes you reconsider popping this particular stim because there may be no coming back from it. It doesn’t have to kill you once the effect wears off, but these things are like free stat boosts for a prolonged period of time. And because of that, not only do people use and abuse the stims, they combine them with other stims to make powerful concoctions that would rival real life PEDs. There are a couple examples of downsides actually having a drastic effect on your PMC once they kick in, but Tarkov would benefit from having harsher penalties after many of the stims effects wear off. It sounds blasphemous, but this is a mechanic in the game that isn’t tied down to any sense of realism. That conversation has left many years ago, so don’t think about stimulants from that perspective. Instead, if we are going to have items that grant powerful boots to stats or other effects to a player, how do we balance them more properly so there are costs and risks associated with using them?
