On this episode of the Pogcast we talk through the recent 13.0.5 patch that came to Escape From Tarkov. It seems to be a bit of a controversial patch. While they did fix some issues related to the audio on some maps, they also changed how all the headsets sound and there appear to be a number of new audio related bugs appearing. We break it all down along with everything else that came in the patch. Check it out!

On this episode of the Pogcast we spend some time talking about content creation and what it's like trying to make the most compelling YouTube video while still wanting the videos to be successful. We also talk through the state of Tarkov and how Late Wipe is growing so exhausting because of how many times we have been here. That plus the very justifiable community concerns really makes Tarkov even harder to play. We also bring back story time in this episode! Check it out!

On this episode of the Pogcast we talk through some updates on some of the cheaters that are being exposed. We also spend a lot of time talking about the recent buffs and nerfs that have been happening in the game and try to figure out why Battlestate Games chooses to balance the game this way. We go through how the Val and VSS were recently buffed 2 separate times and then the ammo was immediately made in credibly expensive. Finally we talk through some of the teases and other changes that have happened in the last week as well. Check it out!

April 24, 2023 #149 - Why Tarkov's Recoil Feels So Bad...
On this episode of the Pogcast we discuss the current recoil system in Escape from Tarkov and how it seems to conflict with some of the other mechanics of the game. Battlestate Games have been tweaking the recoil a but across the board recently and while it does help a little but, ultimately the system itself is just too flawed. We also talk through some of the other changes that have come in the past week or so and even talk a little bit about what it is like being a streamer and trying to branch out into other games. Check it out!

April 10, 2023 #147 - Players Are Not QA Testers... But We Could Be
On this episode of the Pogcast we discuss the flow of communication and feedback from the players to the developers in Escape From Tarkov. We talk about this idea that we are the QA testers that are supposed to find and help fix these bugs and how if they want that to be the case they need to show us that is what they want. If they want feedback from the player, they need to provide ways for us to provide it. We also talk about the recent technical patch and the new features and new bugs that came from it. Check it out!
