Escape from Tarkov - time windows for alpha and beta phase and further details known

 The Facebook page for the shooter MMORPG Escape from Tarkov has published the third part of a series of »Questions and Answers to the Developers«. The new time windows for alpha and beta of the game should be particularly noteworthy. The Alpha is under this entry in February 2016 starts, while the beta to "sometime towards the end of the first quarter was placed."


The very specific questions from the community also brought some new, interesting news about the game to light. For example, there will be no respawn system in the game. Players will only have one life per raid / mission, if you are dead you will have to wait for the mission to complete.

When asked about female characters, the developers say no. There will be no female characters and that is not planned. Unfortunately, it cannot be concluded from the Facebook post whether these were "too hard to animate" for the team. There will be some kind of "competition" between the dealers in the game. If you buy a lot from a certain player, the other dealer reacts and adjusts the prices or his goods for the corresponding player.


It is also interesting that the impact of a projectile should be physically calculated. Depending on the armor value and the part of the body in which the bullet enters, in the positive case the bullet penetrates smoothly or the bullet gets stuck. The damage should then be correspondingly severe. Heavy bleeding also causes side effects such as weaknesses or headaches, which of course will have negative effects on the character and his values.
