The partially melted snow and ambience changes are so good. Seeing my skills level up live as I play is such a huge motivator. Like I don't care that I got head eyes from 150m away from a scav, at least up until that point I was stacked in various skills leveling up and I lost rubles but damn did I level up a ton. Actually seeing my skills progress makes me motivated to play more, it reinforces the idea that I am still leveling and progression is still occurring even through deaths.

@@Airwingmarine I was near starving in a raid and found food, out of curiosity I looked to see if it was live updates and seen my metabolism skill bar spike up over a quarter after eating and drinking. It just triggered this leveling idea and appreciating seeing it live. Then I saw HOW to level the skill in descriptions, what they are linked and related to. It became more than "got food & hydration out of the way" to "how much did I skill up?" I'm constantly peeking at my skills after firefights and recovery. Game feels different now in a really good way, quality of life improved. Again the ambience and sound of footsteps sell the feeling of Tarkov well, like how CoD has its own signature feeling and sound now Tarkov is stronger. This is my pov as an artist appreciating the artistry of it all.

I look forward to them adding running shorts in the summer for USEC.

TY for doing all this testing for everyone brother

you were correct about Usec Checkpoint, its stops right next to the SUV that can have violet card, and it stops above the Sawmill where the wood piles are but I didn’t see which way it drove after that. The BTR warning seems to be 5-10 seconds before it departs

23:50 i think it means that whenever you used painkillers while using nvg, it applied that weird gray filter(which is still better than old effect) on the edges of your screen on top of your green-ish nvg effect which was annoying and, ironically, brings pain to my eyes. happy to see it was not intentional and getting fixed

Been waiting for your video on this today.
