Tarkov’s Transit Points are Awesome but Poorly Executed
(Intro) Everyone has mixed feelings about the hardcore wipe so far. But most people seem to agree that the forced transit points to get to the other maps, was a stupid idea. On paper, it’s an interesting concept. With the marathon challenge, the ability to go from one map straight to another without offloading whatever gear you have on you was introduced. A new way for players to engage with the maps and overall, having to think about Tarkov differently whilst in that separate game mode. And once the event was over, the ability to transit was simply added to all maps after one minute of being in the raid. It’s a genuinely cool concept. And while I still personally am on board with it being the main way we get around this hardcore wipe, there are some obvious growing pains that need to an addressed soon. But before we get into what’s wrong with the transit system this wipe, let’s reflect on the marathon mode, when transit was introduced, what happened after the event, and the very recent change made to transit that can make it a viable playstyle should BSG nail down some of the problem points with the system as a whole.

The Brutal Beauty of Etrian Odyssey: IV
Once or twice a year, I rediscover my Nintendo 3DS in a drawer. I'll take it out, blow off the dust, and look at it with regret. Middle-aged gaming habits mean that console and PC tend to squeeze out everything else.

Tarkov’s Hardcore Wipe is Brutal; Everyone Should Play it
(Intro) Tarkov’s hardcore wipe is officially out, and it’s brutal. Like, I didn’t think it would be this challenging. And yet, at the same time, it’s awesome, and everyone who enjoys this game needs to try this wipe. I mentioned this in the initial video going over the fact the wipe would be hardcore, that this is going to completely shake up the formula we’ve all come to know and love. Or hate, depending on who you are. It’s such a different experience knowing how much has changed, and everything else that wasn’t even detailed in the three pictures BSG posted last week. But we’re here now and it’s been a couple of days. So, let’s go over some general thoughts and impressions on this wipe so far, what has been the most fun or exciting, what has created some problem points and whether or not this idea was even worth it in the first place.

FEEDING THE DUNGEON
Looking at the majority of monsters in RPGs, Shadowdark included, quickly shows that the vast majority are predators, designed to be obstacles to heroes in the game. Plunge into the deep, dark realms under the ground, away from the sun, suddenly normal plants cannot grow, and there are no herbivores. So what do all of the predators eat when there are no adventurers wandering around waiting to be devoured by monsters? This can be handwaved as just a part of the game, or it can be used as a driver for the design of new creatures.

The Best Guide to Run Goddess Team Lineup & Valkyrie Tier List
The core gameplay of Run Goddess is to cultivate Valkyries and use the synergy between different Valkyries to defeat enemies or achieve a higher ranking. There are some recommended lineups in the game, which provide a good idea, that is, it is not necessarily the case that the rarer the Valkyries, the more powerful they are. Valkyries of different rarities can also produce magical effects through combination. Of course, if the single buff data is considered, there is indeed a certain gap between different tiers. This guide lists the recommended team lineups and Valkyrie tiers.
