    Ground Zero | Raid Stories (Setup & Farming Part 3) | Gear Fear All Over Again | Exfil Episode 82 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

    Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast - On episode 82: Raid stories are back. MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about a few of their solo adventures. MTB breaks down a story in the middle of his journey completing the setup task. He is forced to wear a Ushanka hat and a scav vest while only using shotguns and encounters a 2-man squad that is immediately alerted to his presence and they battle in tight quarters with a surprise appearance from an enemy scav. Ronal’s story, while similar in proximity to MTB’s battle, unfolded in a very different way. Ronal witnessed multiple PMCs duking it out and was able to patiently wait for the battle to end when he surprised them, and maybe himself, with two clean headshots to take down the winners of the PMC war. After the raid stories complete, the pair move on to discuss the new Tarkov map named Ground Zero. They talk about everything from the map’s limitations, player level limits, tasks, and overall layout to what they think Ground Zero’s implementation means from a future game design standpoint. They zero in on how Ground Zero simultaneously helps new and returning players while also creating an interesting new piece of content for experienced players. As the show wraps, MTBtrigger throws an open ended question out to Ronal and the listeners - If Battlestate brought the level banding concept implemented on Ground Zero to other maps (having a weekend of “banded Customs” for example - breaking up who plays with who - level 1-19, 20-29, 30+) would it breathe new life into some of the gaps that cause players to lose interest?

    So Many Changes! Our Take On The New Wipe | Content Gating | Gear Fear All Over Again | Exfil Episode 81 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

    Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal begin their conversation about all of the changes in Tarkov since the last time they put significant playtime in a wipe. As they uncover and dissect some of the new systems with Tarkov’s patch 14, the pair settle into a discussion about the “gates” Battlestate is now playing with on maps, crafting, and purchasable items. Included in this conversation is a deep dive into the flea market and the wild difference between levels 1-14 and 15+. Do you think this is still necessary with all of the other changes to the game battling RMT? The pair also is experiencing gear fear again for the first time in a while - tune in to see how they conquered it and how they’re feeling about the early wipe experience this time around.   …All this and more in the episode!

    Hoarding Problems | How To Take Advantage Of Increased Scav Difficulty | Mosin Questing On Woods | Exfil Episode 79 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

    Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about Trigger’s hoarding problem which has caused him to amass four scav junkboxes, a docs case, two holodilniks, and a med case… Do you think this will slow down? Not a chance. In fact, MTB makes a verbal note that he is planning to add two more scav junkboxes to his collection. There is no end in sight to his case collecting. The pair had significant play time in the first few weeks of the wipe and break down a number of raids, lessons learned, and new patch features they have witnessed in action. Like most in the early weeks of a wipe, MTB and Ronal have had their fair share of successes and failures so far. They talk about the rollercoaster that is the Woods map, the added challenge of the new difficult scav spawns, and the trouble they seemed to get in while trying to complete the iron sight Mosin quests. …All this and more in the episode!   Catch up with MTBTrigger or Ronal at the EXFIL discord:  https://discord.gg/deU7RSs   Patreon is now live and active for those that are looking to directly support the podcast - https://www.patreon.com/XPMedianow (Thanks to those of you that nudged us to create this)   Podcast Direct Contact & Socials: Twitter - @EXFILpodcast Email - xpmedia2020@gmail.com Youtube - XPMedianow Website - www.xpmedianow.com   MTBtrigger Contact: Twitter - @mtbtrigger Twitch - twitch.tv/mtbtrigger   Ronalgaming Contact: Twitter - @ronalgaming Discord - Ronal#8004

    The Wipe So Far | Best Flea Market Yet? | Evolving Playstyles | Operational Tasks | Exfil Episode 77 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

    Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast They’re BACK! On this episode, MTBTrigger and Ronal talk all about the new wipe and a few of the changes from last wipe that are now having a, somewhat unexpected, impact.  Both Ronal and MTB are level 25 at the time of recording and have been having a ton of fun. They kick the episode off talking about how they have each been adapting and evolving their playstyle. MTB boasts a 17 raid survival streak and Ronal has been getting aggressive in PMC encounters. They break down what they’ve been doing to be successful and how they’re approaching raids and fights in a different way. After a few raid stories and a strategic talk about point firing, the pair dig into a discussion about operational tasks and how their inclusion is keeping the game fresh and seems to be the answer to the gaps in quest content that was prevalent in previous wipes. Additionally, they talk about how having “random” things to do every few days can really break up the progression grind OR give you the little boost you need to unlock that next trader reputation level. Flea market changes, or exclusions, also get a good look because Ronal and MTB both believe the changes are extending the early game and “fair fight” feeling. Do you agree? Do you like the changes to the flea market? The conversation is rounded out with some quick mentions of the systems that are creating meaningful raid moments and interesting decisions - notably the injector case and the trade for a scav junkbox from Therapist loyalty level 1. All this and more inside the episode - good luck out there!   Catch up with MTBTrigger or Ronal at the EXFIL discord:  https://discord.gg/deU7RSs   Patreon is now live and active for those that are looking to directly support the podcast - https://www.patreon.com/XPMedianow (Thanks to those of you that nudged us to create this)   Podcast Direct Contact & Socials: Twitter - @EXFILpodcast Email - xpmedia2020@gmail.com Youtube - XPMedianow Website - www.xpmedianow.com   MTBtrigger Contact: Twitter - @mtbtrigger Twitch - twitch.tv/mtbtrigger   Ronalgaming Contact: Twitter - @ronalgaming Discord - Ronal#8004

    Dynamic Loot & Dynamic Questing... Daily Tasks!?! | Why Tarkov’s In-Game Systems Lead to Great Gameplay and Memories | Exfil Episode 76 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

    Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal dive into the recent podcasts Nikita has been featured on.  Nikita recently gave significant insight regarding the future and near future changes coming to Tarkov.  Make sure to visit a friend of the show’s website to get the latest Tarkov news: https://www.tarkovnews.com/blog https://www.tarkovnews.com/blog/nikita-talks-tarkov-with-bsg-emissaries Some of these changes are already starting to roll out in game - dynamic loot, for example.  After explaining how dynamic loot works, MTB and Ronal talk about the various ways dynamic loot could affect the game in the short and long term and the balancing challenges Battlestate might face as a result.   Another subtle mention by Nikita is the future addition of Dynamic Daily Quests.  This may sound or seem, on the surface, like a typical addition to any MMO or MMO-like game, but the inclusion of the word Dynamic caused MTB to think about the opportunities BSG has to make this system unique.  Quests could be given dynamically based on playstyle, current active quests, level, etc.  If done correctly, the daily quests could also incentivize players to try new styles, explore new areas, or play on maps they don’t consider playing on currently. Lastly, during the final impromptu raid story, MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about how all of the various systems in Escape from Tarkov and their detail and depth lead to incredible “Raid Stories” and memories being associated with this game.  The final conversation may cause you to remember some raids you’d otherwise forget… maybe you want to forget, but MTB and Ronal won’t let you.
