Escape from tarkov looks and feels much more realistic than Pubg, hopefully the full release will be a good one and SG servers will be up soon

Hello, all.
Just bought the game a few days ago. Looking to join up a group or team coz some of the missions / quests are just damn impossible to go alone.
BTW, there are SG servers. See your connection log after each sessions. It connects to an SG server, looking like a AWS or Rackspace server. But I still see 200+ ping in game. Bad netcode, I guess.

https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/67392-patch-0801208-released/

Patch notes:
This update comes with a profile reset/wipe. All bonus gears can be obtained again from your profile.

Added:

Basic tutorial
Loading and unloading ammo rounds now require time
Now, the character doesn’t initially know the number of cartridges in the magazine. Check the magazine to see the ammo remaining. Check precision depends on the Mag Drills skill. A full description of the expected behavior can be found here

Time-consuming loading/unloading of ammo

Loading/unloading of ammo into the magazine does not happen instantly. The time required to load/unload one cartridge may vary depending on the magazine and the level of the new skill, Mag drills.
Time is spent on loading and unloading ammo in the raid only, in the menu the procedures stay the same as before.
Loading and unloading can only be done with inventory open. If you close it or switch tabs, loading or unloading is interrupted. The cartridges that were already loaded into the mag, stay in it (and vice versa in case of unloading).
Only one magazine can be loaded or unloaded simultaneously.
The Info window displays the loading/unloading and mag check speed bonus if it is not 0.
If you’ve started loading an empty mag, or unloading a full one, the precise number of rounds is displayed.
Checking mags, hidden precise number of cartridges in the magazine

By default, it is unknown how many cartridges are in the mag, if it is not examined (hereinafter referred to as "Unknown/Checked"). Mag counter displays an unknown number of cartridges. For example: (?/30)
Check accuracy is determined by new "Mag Drills" skill.
The magazine can be checked either by animation - Alt+T or through the interface by Right-clicking and selecting Check magazine.
If you checked the number on the 0 skill level, then it returns "~empty" - "<1/2" - "~1/2" - ">1/2" - "~full". As skill level 1 an approximate number will be shown. On level 2 - the precise amount of ammo will be provided.
Full and empty mags are considered to be checked.
All the magazines you take into the raid are checked automatically.
Loading/unloading a checked mag doesn’t change the state, it remains checked.
After firing, the number of cartridges in the magazine become unknown.
Ammo check precision now depends on the Mag Drills skill, not on Weapon Mastering.
Outside of the raid, the number of cartridges is always displayed precisely.
If you have dropped a checked mag and picked it back up, it remains checked. If someone picked it up and dropped it again, it becomes unknown to you.
Checking the chamber

The chamber also requires checking. Bnly by animation using the key binding Shift + T.
If you load the cartridge into an unknown chamber, it automatically becomes checked.
If the shot was fired from a checked mag (first shot), the chamber remains checked. Otherwise, it becomes unknown as well.

New skill Mag Drills
Speeds up ammo loading
Speeds up ammo unloading
Speeds up magazine checks in inventory
Elite levels allow you to automatically check the mag when you move it in inventory, and make loading even faster.
Black version of the Ops-Core Fast helmet
Visor toggle mechanics with all audio and visual effects and protection
A new type of reward for quests completion - unlocking items for purchase

Wipe and patch.
https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/143015-patch-0129-patchnotes/
Tomorrow, at 11.00 Moscow time, we plan to start installing update 0.12.9. It will take about 4 hours, but can be extended if necessary.

Added and changed:

“Woods” expansion.
Reworked PMC initial gear sets.

Added skill “Immunity”.
Reworked “Metabolism”.
Reduced the volume of steps and interaction with vegetation.
Added chance to cause bleedings to the ammunition. Now some ammo can cause heavy or light bleeding more often than other rounds.
Now some face shields and glasses will reduce the time of blindness effect from flashbang rounds and grenades.
Players will be receiving letters with a supply package for the first 7 days of playing.
Added “All” button in the purchasing menu when buying from dealers via Flea market. Now you can select all available items with a single click.
Filters in the W-List tab are now modified separately and do not affect other Flea market tabs.
“Enter” button now confirms the action in most dialogue windows.
Slot highlighting when dragging items in your inventory can now be turned off.
Equipped armbands are now unlootable and can’t be lost upon death.
The letter with the reward for the exit in cooperation with the scav will now come with a slight delay.

New equipment and clothing is added: PMC tops and bottoms, body armor, rigs, Smoke balaclava, and tops for the Scavs.
Changed the characteristics of a large number of weapon mods.
Simplified the Jaeger quests.
Updated some quests: changed execution conditions, starting conditions, rewards.

The sensitivity while aiming down sights changed when putting and removing sights from the weapon.
A character was performing a light grenade throw only by double-pressing the RMB.
Uninformative message about the lack of space in the stash when transferring items from the letter on "Receive all".
The “Found in raid” status for the weapon would not update if you would put non-found in raid weapon mod on the gun.
