>>542857331Come on bros say something...
>>542860640There's not much to say man, looks like a meme game that'll be forgotten within a month.
>>542860640>cute ducks>cutting edge graphics>single player only, no mods needed>no niggerikitaTarkov never stood a chance.Where is everybody? Waiting for 1.0? :o
>>542861505>Waiting for 1.0?Yeah, pretty much. I'll probably hop on Arena next week when they add the battlepass, but I don't really have anything to do before 1.0.
>>542861660You can play the Next Big Thing™ tomorrow: Arc Raiders!
>>542862769No thanks bro, I'm busy replaying GTA IV and playing some Tekken on the side when I feel like.
>>542862769Arc niggers comes out tomorrow? Dang, completely forgot about it.
>>5428628853-days Open test, the game releases the 30th.
>>542864543>open testBooo. Boooooooo. Booooooooooooooo.
>>542865595I mean at least you can test the game without being constrained by the 2 hours window graciously offered by Gayben if you want to refund.
>>542861505We don't badmouth Nikita Buyanov, Russia's Hideo Kojima (genius game designer), in this thread.
>>542879079Russia's Kojimbo is the now retired theatre guy and certified cunny enjoyer extraordinaire behind Pathalogic.
>>542861505yeah, waiting for 1.0this next month is going to be painful man. I just want it in my hands already. I want main quests. I want in-raid traders. I want cutscenes. I want no more wipes. I want an expanded, slower progression. I want my M16A2. I want my G3A3. I want my SVD. I want my Surefire MP5. I want my DSA RPD. I want my LVAW MCX. FUCKI literally have dreams about this game pretty much every single week. The last one I can remember is them doing ANOTHER short wipe, with like gigabuffed loot and bosses and I was hunting Kaban on Streets but the layout was all wrong. I killed a three man busy looting filing cabinets. You could physically see them in the cabinets searching shit. It always feels so real. I also dream a lot about Tarkov becoming 'real' and me and a bunch of old friends are involved and I tear shit up for them. It makes me wish the game had COVID levels of popularity again without any of the catering to the twitchfags/their orbiters shit that BSG pulls off around those times so everyone could be happy in the jankfest slav CBT simulator experience again
>>542881258I'm 70% on the 1.0 update being few new guns and a couple of quests and 30% copemaxxing on it being a massive game changing experience.
>>542880789This does sound like Kojimbo, but Nigita also has some of his traits
>>542862769signing up right now
>log in to do a few games with a friend>I get beamed by killa>he get beamed by a cheateryeah stamp my ticket for arc raiders I guess
>>542857331I boughted.Will report back if it's kino.
So I've been playing Arena to scrape off some of the rust before 1.0 since I haven't played in a while and I think I actually prefer ironsights over red dots, at least the open notch ones. Hell I've been running completely stock guns and doing just fine considering all the turbo sweats that play Arena.The housing of red dots just takes up way too much screen and scopes tank my fps anyway.How much money would I save if I just got good with stock weapons in the base game?
>>542881258>I want no more wipes.Nikita said PvP was likely going to wipe even after 1.0 every 3-5 months.
A few things>Sniper Scav has such a wonderful view over SawmillBased>My cultist circle gave me 2 Goon chestrigs (one for Drip Out, one for Special Offer), and a Virtex for Special Equipment all in one go>Managed to finish Consolation Prize without dying>a random PMC had multiple of my Collector Items in its backpack so now I only need like 3 more items I'll never findEverything has been really nice
Has Mr. Nigita Buy-anon mentioned anything about future Linux support? I remember there was a possibility for linux version but that's that.
>>542908096>Consolation Prizeso is it worth the effort?
>>542904716He also said there would be separate playlists with wipe and with no wipe, we'll see.
>reshala just stands there>kill him with a headshot>move around the dorm>some ai scav is walking>shoot him but apparently my bullets disappear and he turns instantly and domes mewhy can't this piece of shit scamware be consistent
New BP start date?
>>542899209After a couple of hours: surprisingly not terrible and actually polished in spite of what seems like a stock mobile UI. You win this time, chinks.
>>542919192On the 22nd.
>>5429167431.0 will fix it
>>5429196211.0 is poised to be one of the worst letdowns on the tier of Seven Days to Die
What are the chances the campaign won't really be a campaign and just a string of single player tasks where you just go into raids with NPCs you have to kill
>>542923407they might have... cinematic cutscenes between missions. but i wouldn't hold my breath.
>>542924064Oh boy
>>542923407That's literally all it can be, anon.
Why the fuck ABI looks so fucking grainy? holy shit
>>542949094Youtubers told me it's gonna be a epic cinematic campaign though like the show
>>542951758How's the gameplay? How do the mechanics compare to Tarkov, such as skills, quests, guns etc. I'm considering giving it a try since I'm almost at Kappa anyway.
>>542899209Bro, it was a fucking joke. You weren't supposed to redeem it for real retard
>>542956329Nta, but I found the elements I personally like about tarkov missing, like the gun autism, and because it was so similar down to the keybinds, it sort of felt like Tarkov from Temu. There didn't seem to be any hackers though, which was nice. Also, no Nikita
>>542962404better they get the money than niggkita
>>542962605Hm, I think I'll install it and give it a go then. I do like the gun autism, so I may miss that, but if the gameplay can hold it up I might not mind really. It's that or spend the next few days trying to kill Shturman 15 more times to unlock my favorite gun.
>>542962894Nigga, it's free.
i can taste it
>whole night of raiding with someone>die almost every single raid while he got out of all but one stacked>mfw he made bank and i'm now using bankrupt kitsi walked so he could run...
>>542962404But I'm having fun. Is it fake fun?
>arc>3rd personautomatically trash. literally every 3rd person game automatically becomes a corner peeking prefiring simulator. how is this shit not dead yet? fucking casual retards buying these shitty 3rd person games
>>542979631It has long TTK so it doesn't matter as much, only a problem in something like PUBG, milshit like ArmA etc.
>>542979990thats cope. the one peeking and prefiring has a 150ms advantage and is locked on.the one out moving is always gonna be fucked. not to mention he can keep repeeking if he choses too.it also simply dictates how the game is played. which is, everyone hiding behind a wall waiting for you to move first.it can never be good.
ummmm shartraidersissies... I thought we were going to kill Tarkov...
>>542987616>>542979631
>>542987616No, no, no, NOOOOOO... This was supposed to be THE Tarkov killer... Tarkov was finally supposed to die, FUCK.
>>542987616Just wait until this weekend it will do 200k+ players (screencap this)
>>542987616BRUTAL MOGGING
>>542987616>>542988678I wonder what we're going to see here next month.
>>542989171I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up hitting around 50-100k on Steam, I know there's a few poopsockers who'll pay the extra fee + a bunch of normalfags who won't touch anything not on Steam
>>542989171Shit numbers probably (maybe worse than Arc Raiders) since everyone who already bought the game won't be playing it on Steam except for retards double dipping.>>542988678wtf who's buying this?
>>542989348go back to world of warcraft you fucking oldfag.
>>542857331Real question: how do all those people who let their pet birds leave their cage prevent them from flying away and also shitting everywhere?
tick tock uncles, the future is here...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3oWbSqk5WY
>>542990804>/eftg/'s brightest minds can't answer this simple question
>>542990804They clip one of their wings sometimeAlso birds are pretty smart and tend to create social bondsThe big problem is that some can live a long time, like up to 50 years, pretty big commitment for a pet owner
Right, SPT runs pretty fine on Linux. SPT 4.0.0 has even a native linux server. Only the client needs to be run through a compatibility layer.
I don't get this dumb game I'm two-tapping someone in the chest or side with m80 with a sr-25 and they're not dyingI can literally see a cloud of red mist erupting from the exit wound and they're standing there returning fire.Nigga you don't have organs!!!
>>543006791>They clip one of their wings sometimeIs this the dog shock collar version of owning a bird?
>>543015421It's not painful and the feather grow backBut yeah, I guess you could see it that way
>>543015421Not really, you can clip them to prevent long flight but they can still glide and flap around easily enough, it's not painful for them and they grow back in time.I guess it's a little sad but it prevents some exotic parrot escaping and getting OHKO'd by minorly cold weather.
I have no idea how people are able to tell where they’re getting shot from or are able to spot people shooting at them and I keep dying because of it and it’s starting to irk me bros
>>543020652Up your gamma (and up your contrast a tiny bit to stop it from looking gray and unsaturated) if you haven't, the lighting is fucked and this is pretty much mandatory to play even during daytime and especially indoors.If you're having a hard time hearing where shots are coming from whether they are at you or around you, you should try moving your mouse left and right while the sound plays, because of how stereo audio works it'll help pinpoint the direction.
>/eftg/ - Chinese indie games and birdkeeping
>>543020652Most the time when I played retail, I always died to some bushwacker and it is more than irritating to die to someone I can't even see. Regardless of the map.That being said even when playing PvE or SPT it's actually really hard to tell from where the shots are coming from. Audio is still strange and I swear to god sometimes bullets seem to go through walls (or at least their sound data) and this makes you hear the bullet whizzing by sound among other things.
Did my very first raid as a level nothing Timmy, queuing a team was taking too long so went in solo. Spawned at coffeeshop, rotated outside thru emercom and grabbed meds for therapist quest, killed some scavs and rotated to the scientist key and grabbed the HD, then killed some more scavs and snuck outside to the car extract and took it. Seems like all the PMC action was down at Nakatani, heard some gunfights thru the raid but only dealt with scavs. First 3 quests down, 6 scav kills, how'd I do for first raid ever?
>>542988221It's at 180k and it's not even Friday night yet
>>543031005It's 9pm in the country of Molière.
>Raid time: 00:00:04>Tagilla>KIA
>>543020652It mostly comes with gamesense, you kinda have to think>where can I be seen from?>where would I be shooting from if I saw someone at my current position?The other day I was crossing the river on Customs from Big Red to RUAF, I started getting shot. I knew the shots were coming from Big Red side of the river, so I figured the guy must be somewhere around the bridge, I made it to the other side and repositioned to one of the new buildings next to the pocket watch to look for him. Lo and behold, after a few minutes of looking I found him near the little hut next to the bridge and killed him.
>>543030764Doesn't matter because you could spend the next 10+ raids dying almost instantly.
>>543030764>""""""""""""""""""""""very first raid""""""""""""""""""""">"emercom">"Nakatani">found the key>found the car extract >also took money for it*yaaaawn*
>>543030764Oh and you also forgot that despite the description, encountering PMC corpses on the parking lot is not an optional trigger for turning the quest in.
>>543038220They fixed that, you just need the hard drive now. You don't even need the key.
What will be the next step of his master plan?
>>542857331>200k copies sold in a daygaming has fallen...>>543042436He will hike up the prices of the cheats BSG sells by 100%
I wonder if console Tarkov will have crossplay...
I fucking got killed by the BTR driver on Streets because the sound is so bad. Massive diesel motor sounds like it's 1 km away etc. Had gpu and other stuff. I want to kill someone.
>>543045523how did he kill you?
>>543046191I was looting a corpse and it was raining and heard the BTR thought it was pretty far away and got squashed like a bug.
>>543046608you know, i was gonna test if he could run me over today, and now I know. consider your sacrifice not in vain, anon. oh and>had a GPU>it wasn't up his ass
>brand new face shield>walk into factory>a piece of shit, fully blocked pellet hits>massive spidercrack in the middle so I can't see shit>3 damageMAYBE, just MAYBE faceshields should crack more at low durability and less at high? i'm not asking for no obstruction but this is fucking ridiculous.
>>542857331shit is fun, played for 5 hours straight this evening
>>543047038I felt like winning!
>>543047767Had something similar happen earlier against Tagilla, he broke mine with a Dual Sabot and it only took 4 damageI wish they'd have smaller cracks for lower damage that get bigger with more damage rather than needing to spend another 400 because 1 shot hit me>>543049015I'm sorry to hear that, what else did you find? I dont really go to Streets much
>>543045523sound occlusion is really fucky with the BTRI was inside pinewood, BTR was right outside and I couldn't hear a thing 5m away from it
>>543032113I wish I was recording when it happened, but I rounded a corner and tagilla did a running sprint jump into me while blasting me. it was a pretty cool way to die
>>543056198>sprint jumphad me til you lied
>>543056849it was pve with modded AI so that's probably the discrepancy
Arc raiders is really ass. I don't like the 3rd person camera, movement, or the pve.I was surprised when I saw it's a $40 game, thought it would be f2p.
>>543037417I did bring money for it but then found like 70k rubles on the first spawn body I lootedThank you for encouraging a new player! What a great game with a great community ready for 1.0
>>543042436>>543037417Nobody plays this game without the wiki open dude
>>543042436It would actually be rad if they just kicked cheaters into cheater lobbies, pretty sure one of the Dark Souls games did this. Literally solves the problem and levels the playing field for cheaters, I see no downside
>spray at dude's upper chest with level 5 penetrating ammo>he just ducks under my spray and one shots me in the jawi got dunked on so hard it was actually funny
>>543061298You did amazing for a first raid. Things to remember>always turn in quests and items first>double check gear>surviving is better than killing
THE GUIDE FIRST TRY LETS GOOO! >insomnia - 15/25>sanitars office in lab>extract from the lab - New Beginningsbros..it's happening
>>543058969>thought it would be f2psame. i don't see myself spending 40 on it
>weekly gives a level in a shitty skill>want it because leveling said skill is double shitty>don't want to do the weekly because it involves labs
>>543078032What, is it just killing some raiders?
>>543080197I have to exit through the Parking Gate 15 times. I've gone 4 times and I think the button is glitched, it never works.
>go to Lighthouse a couple times>no sign of Partizan>haven't seen The Goons>actually having fun killing PMCs, sniping a few Rogues, and just roaming the ChaletsI brought like 4 stacks of SSA AP just in case but I've been burning it on PMC Ai and Scavs lmao
>>543086527what makes a man unironically go to Lighthouse
>>543087395Assessment Part 1
duckov won
Is 7.62x51 any good for sniping? I hate bolt actions and the SVD is aids but I want to use big and good bullets but 5.56x45 and 5.45x39 are terrible.
>>543092572I heavily recommend this bitch, slap 'er full of BCP or TCW and you're off to the races. Good damage, fairly good accuracy, and takes some good scopes. Not the most reliable gun imaginable, but it hasn't done me wrong yet.RSASS is another good one.
>>543094091>>543092572The really long one felt like a fluke, but it's worth showing how it goes. I had to evac early because I'm pretty sure I encountered the goons and just barely made it out>going back down the road>voices but i can't tell what voice lines>suddenly my leg is gone>have a heavy bleed>rest of my body is yellow at best>barely get a Propital jammed in me>run off>repair leg in one of those little seaside boat houses>run off>never see them again
>>543092572>>543094091I happen to love the SR-25. It's cheaper, decent enough ergo w/ suppressor. I remember someone posting on here that to use the SVD as a shotgun or beefier SKS and to customize accordingly. It's since been redeemed in my eyes
>>543097320>Suppressor why?
>>543097320It's funny you mention the SR-25, I just yoinked this off of a Rogue last raid
>>543094091>gear fear in PVE
>>543092572>Is 7.62x51 any good for sniping?Yes, very. Not as accurate as bolt actions but still pretty good.
>>543100278that all looks expensive to me
>>543100631>RFB>BCP FMJ>expensive
>>543100523amazing shot, I can't even see the guy
>>543100726Yeah the nerfed scopes make it a bit tricky to snipe now, it was so much better when they had higher zoom a few months ago. The 1-8x scope is pretty shit now, used to be one of my favorites.
>7 months agolollmao even
>>543100278Always, but there's also a nice benefit to the BCP/TCW. The other day I ended up in a fight with Partizan and shot him right in the head from a decent range with an M80 round. He survived and proceeded to blast my head from my shoulders, which means my bullet likely dropped 1-2 damage from the range it was at, enough to fuck up the whole experience. BCP/TCW have 83 and 85 damage respectively, so there's a bit of room. M80 also costs a little much per bullet, and I can't buy M62 or better. On top of that, Rogues seem to rarely wear helmets, Scavs are almost always unarmored for the most part (TCW pens the first 3 tiers easy anyway), so it all kinda plays into itself. >>543100906>>543100523god DAMN >>543097320Decided to take it with me, SR-25 feels smooth as silk
>>543102897>M80 also costs a little much per bullet>$4 per bullet>little much
>>543103862Bullet cost is nothing if you make every bullet count
>>543104157That assumes too many things
>>543103862It's a lot to pay for bullets that do the job just about as well as the bullets I'm already using at like 200 rubles each. BCP is kinda based. I'd craft m61 but the damage is lower than I'd like, and M80A1/M993 are loot-only so despite having nearly an entire ammo box full of them, I don't want to use them.
>>543110883uuuuugh
>>543110883lame
>>543110883Bosses should be removed unironically.
>>543111978Keep bosses but>reduce health to normal levels because no one should survive a headshot>improve tactics or provide more protection in the form of guards/scavs>improve ammo they have access to>increase their non-weapon loot qualityBosses should just be tough or well-equipped Scavs/Rogues/Soldiers and not some hyper godly being who tanks 2 bullets to the head because they have 3x head health. Oh and make Cultists a 100% spawn on all maps at night.
>>543110883LMAO
>>543113324>balance updates?? how dare they!
>>543113324looks like he's back on his bullshit again kekI love nikita, not professional at all but pretty funny to see a dev spaz out on the cunts who are always rude online
Honest thoughts on Peanut?
retarded eceleb
>>543110883I'm starting to worry that Nikita will fuck up 1.0 bros...
>>543114819Trust the plan.
>>543113760>we have no idea how to "balance" bosses so we're just going to make their gear shit until I personally think it's been long enoughwhat the fuck do you think a balance update is? A balance update would be nerfing their gear and leaving it to see how it plays out, if it's worth it, etc. This is just hedging his bets because making something that is even the facsimile of finished is too hard.
>didn't know that bosses can spawn on GZ too>yet again, looted a gpu>die to Kollontay
>>543120579Kollontay doesn't spawn on GZ this wipe, thoughbeit.
>>543114358What's his survival rate? Every vid I see is of him dying.
>>543114358He's a funny guy
>>542851835ive got the itch for a Tarkov-like. Anything out there similar to Zero Sievert that's come out recently?
>>543125932Post número tres.
I haven't played this game for so long that I don't know what equipment I'm supposed to run. Low loyalty levels seem so neutered compared to a year or two ago.
>>543125932Duckov or the Arc Raider beta this we
>>543134615silenced Kedr + flesh rounds
>>543140072Any LL2 recommendations?
>>543140382the same thing, let other people buy the good stuff and take it after you blast their knees
>>543140382Just buy top tier shit on the flea market at this point.
>>543110883>>543113324>>543114002Nikita getting cooked to precise
>>542956329the game looks better and the QoL is great, you can save presets and you just need to click once to have every ready for the next match. The gunplay is very good, but not as good as tarkov. Weapon smithing is very basic compared to tarkov. I would say arena breakout is the better game cinsidering it's free, but Unreal is shit and the game crashes all the time.
