Escape from Tarkov aims to ban anyone who dares to reveal its secrets – even the useful ones

earthpressnews

The shooter “Escape from Tarkov” (PC) is considered to be a hard-hitting experience that is nerve-wracking. The developers give out little information. Dataminers like the Twitch streamer LogicalSolution provide the community with information. But that should stop now, immediately if the developers have their way. The developers themselves want to be the only source of information about Tarkov. Everyone else is threatened with bans.

This is the situation:

  • Escape from Tarkov is considered chronically secretive. The developers BSG only give out a little information, a lot happens in secret. While games like League of Legends give exact percentages when they tweak the balance, Tarkov doesn’t have anything like that. It just tells you that something has changed.
  • But there is clear text from data miners. People like LogicalSolution give players the details and information that the developers don’t tell them. If a patch changes the damage of a weapon, then the dataminers say: The damage increases by 3 points.
  • That’s exactly what the Dataminer should now do.

    Data mining and leaks ruin the “wow” effect, should stop

    This is the announcement from Tarkov: In a statement dated June 23, the developers say (via twitter):

  • Data mining is the “illegal infiltration” of a game to extract information that should remain hidden from users
  • For example, if players knew the percentage chance a boss spawns or the conditions under which it spawns, that lowers the “wow effect” and makes the game more predictable – you don’t want that
  • The developers want to use teasers to interest players in upcoming updates. That helps fuel the hype. When a dataminer leaks what’s coming next, it undermines that hype.
  • If you want to find out more about the game, you should use the wiki instead of getting all the information from data miners on day 1 of an update.
  • Effective immediately, anyone sharing information obtained through data mining will be banned.

    • How is this seen? The reaction is rather negative. Some players would like this detailed information and say: If you don’t give us that, then we’ll get it somewhere else.

    The ban on data mining and the “We ban everyone” statement are another example of the developers taking a stand against the community.

    Dataminers like LogicalSolution would make the game better. Without such information Escape from Tarkov is hardly playable.

    In any case, the developers should rather concentrate on cheaters than attacking data miners.
