RELEASE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>551477843I think this quest will the end of meI don't know how to get so many kills on lighthouse away from wtpI think I still need 13I just want to escape from tarkov
>>551478451If you spawn next to WTP, you either reset or walk all the way to the Deathmatch area to third party peopleIf you spawn by chalets you just wait until a firefight break out and kill people that are too busyOR you just rush spawns.
Please lord let me get another one....
Hope all NA anons had a merry Christmas. And merry early Christmas to all the Slavic anons.
>>551480979Was alright. Realized that my brother has a thing for chubby older asian women as he brought another one over to the gathering at our parents' place. Her knee-high hooker boots and mini skirt weren't enough to detract from the wrinkles on her wide face. He's a green-eyed 6ft white dude but loves those chubby asians. Good for him though, I guess, right?
>>551482827Do you have a thing for chubby older asian women? seems like you can get some by the end of the year
>be at girlfriend's relatives house for Christmas last year>meet with her sisters boyfriend>we wind up talking about PC games>find out we both play Tarkov>he immediately starts talking about how he paid for cheats>tell him he's sucking the fun out of the game>brags about the 'power' having cheats gives you over normal players>mentions that he's still a 'good player' >this year ask him how he's liking 1.0>says he can't play anymore since he caught a permanent ban>anytime he finds a way to get a new account they instantly ban it tooThanks Nikita, I didn't know these people were real
>accidently flick shot santa>didnt kill him>he chases me off a few bodies with his trash gun>just leave>next raid see him>gives me a moonshinegood to know he's not mad
Why is everyone playing BEAR this update? I have 10 BEAR tags and 2 USEC ones.
>>551483321i would have ruined everyones christmas and went to jail on assault charges if someone told me that
>>551484096People don't realize that BEAR is Russia, and since the 2022 Russian aggressive invasion of Ukraine, Russia is an international pariah and bad country. Unfortunately, to boost BEAR numbers, Nikita chose not to make it obvious that BEAR represents Russian interests.
>>551484141Turns out he's a piece of shit and the family doesn't like him anyway
>>551483321They banned his hardware ID. Funny that they will still take his money then keep banning him though. Holy kek
>>551483321things that did not happen, but I wish they did
>>551482918I do not. Also I've found that if I dont have a gf toward the end of the year, it's best to just wait for spring as it avoids a lot of headache
someone was saying streets abandoned factory makes them good money?
>>551484141>>551484421>>551485347It's like someone telling you they are a pedo. My coworker mentioned he cheats and I want to smash his fucking face in. He's 5'5" as well fucking manlet scum. Juts an insufferable piece of shit that thinks he's hot shit. Fucking hate the guy. Cheaters get what they deserve.
>>551485347I talked to an ex cheater in some random discord and he freely admitted he tried it and still died. Some people just dont see it as a big deal cause it's just a game. They're either stupid, antisocial, narcissistic or all three to some extent. For what it's worth the guy was pretty chill and didnt seem like a bad guy. He just did it to see wtf was going on I guess. It's a pretty effective way to learn how youre dying
I AM FREE!!!!!
>>551486131>he does questsHAHAHAHarena chads stay winning. I'm level 31 and only finished BP depot a few days ago. Also, why the fuck cant I buy 762x39 PS without a quest. I wanted to craft AP-M
>>551486120>It's a pretty effective way to learn how youre dyingWhich could be solved by implementing any number of other additions to the game. But Nikita is either too incompetent or too stubborn to do it.
>>551484096being gay stopped being cool in US
TT Pistol to Hero
>>551486287>Ded MorozAnon you ruined Christmas...
>>551486330FUCK yeah that's santa isn't it...It was night time and I only had a holographic on an M4 I found :(
>>551486416You're getting coal you piece of shit
>>551486259Definitely agree. They already have kill cams they could just send it to you with insurance.
>watched PBP bounce TWICE off a level 3 cqc mask in arena
>>551486251I agree that quests in this game fucking suck.
>first LL4 trader is refNot sure how I feel about that.
>>551487247I was only half joking they're okay sometimes. I like shooter born and all the bolt action ones so I've completed a lot of jaeger. The boss hunt ones and area defense ones are a fun bonus to raids too. I just havent done the ones i hate (shoreline) Havent even marked the tanks yet hehe
won't no wipes completely fuck the game balancing up?
>>551488292Depending on how they do the seasonal characters, maybe not.
we're immense, excessively immense and continuing with assessment
does killing a shoreline raider at the gate cause them to aggro you for multiple raids like the rogues?
Have you tried transiting for xtra xp yet? I'm trying it but I'm not sure if I'd be good at it going back and forth
>>551488823I have a <25% survival rate. Surviving two raids in a row would be a miracle.
>>551488579Seasonal characters are going to be shit, make people want to prestige instead, or do a market event where it's all reset fuck it.
>>551488884Resetting money somehow would be cool. And they prob should have just removed flea entirely for the first month of wipe instead of this gigacunt level restriction
>>551488884The idea would be to give rewards for new seasonal characters or something in a similar way prestige does, I guess.
>>551486975Those masks and face covers on Arena piss me off. Enforcer would at least be unique if only he had them but no, every fucking nigger runs them and the amazing Tarkov game of chance kills you more often than not because rng ricochet )))))))))))))))))))))))).
>>551488292there's going to be a seasonal character in may or june that gets wiped every 6 months. whether or not the perm PMC you have right now will fuck with that balance is anyones guess.
>>551489195Scout having the level 4 CQC and level 5 armor is one of the most niggerdly things ever
>>551489314Well losers will reset and timmies/noobs/people that don't care will have a slight chance to not lose all their money for a little bit.
>>551488292They ignored how wipes became a gameplay element instead of a beta testing clean slate as time went on and it went load-bearing for the balance of the game, so now without wipes the game is slowly unraveling. This game isn't made to be played endlessly, it's made to go through the progression grind repeatedly growing in power with everyone else somewhat equally, while latecomers and slow players get left behind and fucked, until everyone reaches the flat Level 5 M855A1 plateau and gets bored.
why are there so many, weird accs
>>551489651whats weird about him? looks like a normal player
>>551489651Nothing about this looks normal though.
Yaaaaaay I turned a corner to see santa standing 5ft away from me and I DIDNT SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE! My reward? 1 sugar, thank you santa
>>551489651is this a weird acc
>>551489483hopefully the sweats fuck off to the seasonal character and the perm character will have easier lobbies/. That will last like a month though
>failed to extract because didn't pay attention that there are military base CP and railroad to military basethese extract points names are pure niggerism
I just transited 5 times and died and only got 1000 xp.... what the fuck man I wasted all that time for xp I could get in one raid of 3 mins?
>>551490654yea
>>551490705These wouldn't be a problem if we had an in-game map system showing you extracts.
>>551489651The strangest thing about this is the survives in a row.
ratting has given me a 55% SR and 5 kd, i hope those numbers aren't sus, i imagine it will tank once I have to do the more pmc oriented quests
New favorite DMR build
>>551490768no, the names are just terrible.Dumbing down the game is a slippery slope
>>551490890The only thing that matters and should be publicly viewable is stash value
>>551491197The new MDR parts make me like the rifle more.
>>551491291i'm a sucker for DT stuff, this basically lets me pretend that i'm using a SRS, but automatic.
>>551491231wrong. PMC KD
>Added an 11-part in-game task chain. By completing these tasks, players will earn BattlePass tokens, in-game rewards, experience, and the unique Splinter Winter camouflage.Arena got a better winter event than the main game
>garbage that just clogs up stash>still sit it outfree shit is free shit
>>551491423>>551491231better yet- player KD, which would include player scavs
>just spent tokens on gacha boxes because i've long since been done with the passFUCK
>>551491424IS THAT WHERE THE ALPINE CAMO CAIMAN IS HIDDEN BEHIND????????RAHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>551491475forgot pic
>>551491424they sold 1m tarkov, now they want 1m arena
>>551490827could be scaving a bunch
green helmet protects from cold too for some reason
>>551491841It's got an internal cushion that's warm.
>>551491841yeah but then you look like a gaymo gay
>>551491898are you afraid somebody finds out
>hear BBRRRRRRRRRRRRRT>guy sprints directly for me in a quiet room no movement>BRRRRRRRRTthis guy
>>551492194well everyone already knows you like to smoke the jamaican pole so no loss there
>>551492338is that a "yes"
>>551491529This
JUST GOT AMBUSHED BY THE GOONS ON THE WAY TO THE RADIO TOWER... WISH ME LUCK BOTH MY PLATES ARE 0'D
it's like a 30 minute craft to take any durablity armor repair kit while using three clothes (10k each or so) to make it into a 1500/1500ive been looking for <=100K low durablity ones listed and they do list, sometimes. I then repair them to 1500/1500 and sell them for 499,999Is it really this easy to get rich as fuck?
arena's down. maybe they're adding all the new stuff.
>no link for arena patchnotes postednice general
>>551493035well how about you post em nigger
>>551493035>>551493087its a fucking sad day when reddit beats a generalyou realize this sites dead right? It's like 12 real people.
>>551493087how about you suck my cock gay boy
they need to explain arena more, I still don't know how the fuck do you get more points in checkpoint mode
>>551489487>game is slowly unraveling Provide proof.
>>551489487did they wipe before 1.0? Game got released less than 2 months ago
>>551490737That's fucked you only get xp when the raid ends and not when you trans-exit
>>551493118i'm actually a russia bot so 11
Curved monitor for tarkov and in general? Yes or no? Might be cool
>>551493868gay
>>551492578I flea market main, not into the actual FPS- too intense- and yes, it is that easy once you get good at it.
>>551493868curly turd
You can kill Santa with no rep loss? hell yeah man
>>551492578just got another one for 100k
>>551494000I shot at him when I thought he was a player, and he chased me down so I killed him. Now I have this in my stash. Pretty cool desu. Will Santa hate me in future raids?
The Arena patch notes (not linked here) look okay I guess. Doesn't mention any of the 1.0 guns though so I guess they're not coming yet.
>>551493118>admits to crossposting>bitches instead of just posting the notesYou considered fucking off?
>>551494173Im scared to bring this bag because players will get really mad I killed santa
>come across Santa>gives me a moonshine>3 minutes late hear a single gunshot>30 seconds later see guy run past with Santa bag>hunt him down like a rabid dog and kill him for his transgressionsKilling santa is for grinch niggers, we jolly up in this bitch
God, protect me during this raid.
>>551495179Sorry best I can do is send a naked china man with a vepr hunter to murk you with m80
>>551495224I have to find a GPSA, kill 7 raiders and look for two things that are main story related, surely this will not be problematic at all
best way to get the three papers from interchange? always ALWAYS and by always i mean at least 8 times ive ran into a nigger at olis paper waiting each time, im not joking. It happens like clockwork. Should I wait until the last 10 minutes of the raid and then go?
if you wear santas beard you insta loot safes
damn gear rack is nice for storing
>>551496050>Should I wait until the last 10 minutes of the raid and then go?Something like that. I'd bring a suppressed gun so the entire mall of pscavs doesn't come for you.
Can I get a discord invite bros
holy fuck its not a joke? I just finished 6 shoreline quests in a single raid on columbian servers and I only got shot at once12k xp from killing bosses too HOLY FUCK this is awesome
>>551498379How long was the matching time? Thought about trying again but last time I did (couple wipes ago) I had no confidence because of the connection quality
>>551498332if you'rea faggot
DO AI SCAVS LEAN NOW WTF NO WAY THOSE WERE PSCAVS
>>551498970They've done that for a while
>>551498701took me about 10 minutes to find a match mind you resort was not empty but by the time I got there after killing sanitar it was empty enough to grab all my stuff I'm west coast NA I had 184 ping.
>>551499060i know but it wasn't just holding a corner it was like pushing with a lean like you'd see from a player.
Do less scavs spawn at night time? I've done 3 customs runs and im literally just sprinting around running towards gunsshots and i've seen 2 scavs in all these raids
>>551499098Goddamn anything over 150 is pretty shaky. Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime. Only lvl 22 so would be nice to get some of these early non pvp quests done quickly. Even waiting till the end of raids, there's almost always some faggot camping with a sniper or a non-timmy rat somewhere on my path to extract
>>551499451yeah the shoreline quests were unreal I don't understand why 'normal' people sit in fucking resort just to fuck around then you also have to contend with a swarm of little pscavs crouchwalking for their headshots
>>551499381You try hanging around those warehouses in the middle between fortress and the road/new gas? Some thick scav spawns there
So we all can agree that pve ruined pvp and now its complete metafaggotory sweatfest that scare every single new potentional "average" player into pve.
>>551499862No, I still blame streamers
>>551499862the game is better without bushwookies and cucks too scared to move
>>551499862There's two types of PvE players.People who never would play PvP anyway and want a worse STALKER, those you can already write off.And the other people are those you mean, people fleeing the tiered meta sweatfest of PvP. And those people are blameless because what sane person wants to voluntarily get farmed by invincible high level players?The base game is balanced terribly which is why timmies and regular joes don't try to bother with it anymore, leaving all the apex predators to feast among themselves.
>>551500013it's much worse getting rushed down by some gigachad retard than shot by some low lvl pussy hiding in a bush.
>>551500027I mean what sane person wants to spend 10 raids, 7 hours of which are loading screes, to kill 20 scavs.
>>551500158I finished countless anime during those loading screens idk if its a cons or a pro at this point.
>>551499862sure, but i also think it's just lame. the whole point of tarkov is that it's supposed to be brutal and you are supposed to fight your way to actually be good. you don't actually get this feeling in pve since it's all bots which can be 'figured out' and easily beaten. it's not a good use of time for the people that play it and if it got removed, it would either force them to play the actual game, or to spend their time wisely by playing something else.
>>551500072getting outplayed > walking past the wrong bush
They should cheapen the M4 down.450 extra dollars compared to the M16A1 for pretty much no statistical difference AND less LARP.
>>551500027I think maybe about half of those timmys and regular Joe's squad up to play pvp together and play pve solo to learn the maps based on what I've seen in discord. Maybe more like a 3rd but seems like that's happening to a decent extent if the tarkov bug bites them
whats the point of this arena update fmllll no new weapons added at all
>>551500370and now i am outplaying chads by switching my server to columbia as well
>>551500571oh no please come back
>>551500539New maps are more important to me at this point. Fucking sick of the current maps and also hate how most of them look
fuck ass game is going to make me go to another labs raid just to kill 1 fucking raider
>>551499862I dont know why they completely isolated PvE from PvP. Let them join pvp occasionally.
>>551500571How does that work? Empty servers or everyone is a shitter there?
>>551500682i love your ak build. you should try replacing the sight though with the krechet. i think that looks lilke a more modern and cool version of the valday you have
9/10 for winter event, can't load into streets.SPT loads just fine.
>Kill 5 scavs at the train depot>Go there and dick around for 15 minutes>Kill 1 scavThere's always fucking one of these quests
>>551500953k
>>551500714They're mainly just less populated. Also a moderate chance players will either be playing on a worse rig than yours or will be another timmy with 150-200 ping
>>551500714Just less people. Generally they're always tryhards that know what they're doing
https://youtu.be/ty0fCvmW6x8?si=iePzKCRiSWDSMnz5
>>551500714Latency is 120, the server isn't empty, maybe like half population so. It just isn't a sweatfest, you might get into a few jank fights but you can go to a location and shoot a couple scavs without worrying somebody is going to beeline it straight towards you. I don't mind getting into a fight or two but i don't have the energy to optimize direct routes from items and quests then triangulate that based on spawn locations.
>>551501294boorrrrrinnggggggg give us the new guns nigga
>4 scav runs in a row where I'm killed by a PMC or a scav boss within 3 seconds of the raiddid they fuck with scav spawn locations? I can't even take a piss while my scav loads anymore
>Working crazy overtime>Was supposed to be laid off Nov 9th>Get extended to Dec 20th>Everyone is done the gameso gay man
>>551502029The game lasts forever lil buddy
I fucking despise Russia and need Ukraine to win, but I will say that the Olivier salad looks slightly appetizing. Interesting new item the devs added.
>>551502337>need Ukraine to winWhat for? Polymarket bets?
>>551502029sorry friend, tiggz beat the game/everyone ages ago
>>551502380don't pay attention unfunny negro is trying to bait again
CheckPoint mode changes Improved the player respawn system; Added mass capture: the more players from one team capturing a point (up to 3 players), the faster it's captured; Reduced the number of points required to win to 1250; Rebalanced the daily task requirements for CheckPoint mode following the reduction in points needed for victory; Increased the minefield damage.HOLY SHIT IT'S ACTUALLY PLAYABLE NOW. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE WAS FIXED??? How is this BSG?
>>551502380For NATO.
They should add a separate hideout station for ammo crafts, a reloading bench, and just fill it with almost every ammo type in the game. Because New Vegas did it and it's cool.
Also I wish flash hiders actually worked. I can't see shit while shooting.
pscavs kinda got fucked in the new frost event, didn't they? there's just no way to stop the damage onslaught unless you luck yourself into a hat or some shit
>>551502758Well, just be fast, loot indoor buildings, and hopefully spawn with a cheese or a different medkit, you can manage.
>Spawn woods>Run around like a faggot for 5 minutes because all the spawns look the same>Run across the map to plant my marker >Make it to location and start planting>Game crashesThis shits so fucking gay man
>>551503042yeah i got a crash on woods too earlierbring a compass on woods btw very helpful to learn where you are
>>551502758true
>>551503217turns out I died to a scav, I love that you have to wait for the 4 minute reconnection before it tells you. What's that another half an hour of fucking around to get back to that point?
>>551503042I got some issues connecting to GZ raid, maybe servers are shitting themselves
>>551503384I also died to a scavSP 7.62x39 to the head?
Love selling my bottles of water that are near empty, the fee is like 10k so there's no monetary value but I just enjoy the possible 1 second of frustration the other person might experience.
