Thanks, I'll try that.

>>552870874
Do you guys have any tips on the easiest way to complete step 5 of the expedition?
So far I'm just looting whatever I find if it's blue and doesn't weight a lot. I am doing pretty well with Materials, but I'm trailing in Combat Items. Maybe crafting weapon mods? A green weapon mod only requires mechanical components and wires/duct tape/steel spring and fetches 2000 so it seems pretty convenient.
>>
>>552878876
we still have like 2 months, so I didn't rush it
just keep collecting over time and filling it up

unless you just want that step out of the way, then hopefully another anon can help you
>>
>>552878876
You'll need to learn the spawn locations of weapon and grenade caches. But autists farm those non-stop.
>>
>>552878876
grenades are a decent way of doing it, they're more common than weapons while a full stack is worth barely less
>>
>>552878493
it has to be some kind of mental illness
>>
>>552879091
Does it make sense to craft them, or is it just a waste of resources?

>>552879006
True we have time, I do want to get it out of the way and start hoarding for the 5mil required to get the most skill points.
>>
>>552879482
>Does it make sense to craft them, or is it just a waste of resources?
nta but you can easily stockpile heavy and smoke nades easily from going through raids
then again crafting materials are free, you can also make a decent dent on the massive stockpile of unused resources you're saving for a rainy day (the cobwebs have cobwebs at this point)
>>
>>552878876
I remember people saying that stage was difficult last season too. What I did was run free kits then donated whatever weapons I got from them at the end of each raid desu If youre a pvp player I suppose you could kill people and donate their stuff too. That seems like more of a gamble and would depend on how skilled you are desu
>>
>>552879482
on one hand, crafting them is a way to turn resources you don't need into resources you want
on the other hand, grenades are basically free if you play a lot anyway
it pretty much depends on how much of a hurry you're in (you have a month and a half)
>>
>>552879197

>LMAO ARE THEY FUCKING STUPID

when in reality, if you've taken just a basic logic class you learn actual logic
x is pregnant
y is unable to get pregnant
z is woman

x != y
but
x = z
and
y = z

yea I noticed something weird too

I do wonder i you are ranked into leaderboards with people who have completed similar trials

Might test this with the bastion one this week and just not doing it to see where I end up getting placed

The reason I think this is because I got moved to 3 different leaderboards as I completed trials and got higher and higher score, once i had all trials completed and it seemed to have me on a leaderboard, the top lik 10 all had 100k+ scores

Wonder if you can avoid the sweats just by avoiding a trial or two thats heavily farmed

I shoot anyone using the voice modifier option those people are always weirdos I had this strange moment in Stella where we had a group of 7 friendlies but one guy shoots me and then the rest of the group comes running and I’m accused of trying to rat even though they all clearly heard a kettle and the guy has a kettle in his hand

Hide, if you mean for the quest/workbench shit

Save at least 3 wolfpacks you find and unload them on one, maybe 4 if you are unlucky

Otherwise, I would find a house with 2 doors, and use my ferro to plink at its rotars until it's dead, alternating between the two doors to avoid the missiles

So from what I gather by reading the codex and doing the quests:

>the sponsors and big corpo from The Finals team up as the world goes to shit
>they start the Exodus plan and fuck off from earth
>people left behind were forced to scrap by while dealing with the climate change
>there's mention of a period of complete darkness so it's likely Mount Vesuvius erupted once again which would explain all the volcanic rocks laying around
>fast forward hundreds of years they develop machines and launch them from orbit
>the machines scout the land and harvest resources that they send back into orbit
>these harvesting machines also came with a security detail which aggro'd any person that got close
>people repelled this 'First Wave'
>years later the Second Wave came along with upgraded bots more suited for dealing with humans
>overwhelmed, people fucked off underground as they discover a network of tunnels meant to distribute materials during the Exodus centuries ago
>Toledo is born out of buildings that got sucked in by the ground
>Lance owes me sex
>We arrive at Speranza which is one of the many districts in Toledo

Why ever use a freekit over a green augment, light shield, and an upgraded Ferro or something? It costs next to nothing to make these, you get your stash pocket, and you can carry more ammo.

Beats me.
>>
>>552893060
>>552893660
this is likely what the devs believe

you have to remember they are those exact freekitters
>>
>>552893060
its the time it takes to set it up and craft those things. Even if you have perfect autistic muscle memory of every single thing you need to craft and slot into your backpack, it still takes 1-2 mins. A freekit is 4 quick button presses and youre off to the races. When you roll with freekits you erase all of the downtime between raids and in many ways its a smoother gaming experience, even if you are handicapped

By not having custom loadouts, embark is inadvertently encouraging the use of freekits because no one wants to awkwardly navigate the menus every single time

its just a theory of mine (and someone else did separately have the same idea on reddit a month ago or something) but the bottom of stella montis has very clear "blocked off" sections that clearly point to potential expansions of the map

one of the ways to navigate stella montis is literally to follow the text on the walls, it just points you in the directions of the various areas. In the atrium, there is text on the wall pointing to Greenhouse / Greenhouse Control Room. I dont think its a coincidence they added this as flavor text, it would make more sense they planned on adding this expansion in a future update

Loading Bay has a similar type of thing, but its more implied. Again, southern section of the map
Medical research has a similar blocked off area to the far south. Text on the wall implies the section we have access to is the northern wing, while potential future expansion would be the southern wing
>>
>>552898589
Oh, interesting. Would be kino if they were to add to the existing maps like this, change them up a bit from time to time.

kino
but yeah, people get really mad if you knock them in the elevator even when you're telling them to just hit the button

>>
I wish they added cool map conditions that required certain items in your inventory to protect you from the map condition. Like maybe snow/sand storm, where unless you have diving goggles in your inventory, you are blinded by the sand/snow storm. Or supposedly theyre going to add a swamp map. You will take continuous damage unless you have the gas mask in your inventory.
I think that would be cool ways to lock high loot maps in a way that doesnt gatekeep too hard since the items you would need are not super rare items.

The only correct answer: you don't lose anything if you die, and if you get back you can upgrade the free backpack to a green augment from Lance + sell the weapon and the shield.
That's not even accounting for the bandages, shield recharge and bombs/tools you get with the freekit. More resources you lose if you die, more profit if you get back and sell it or stash it.

Last season I actually ended up not using a lot of my keys. They just rotted into $1 upon season end sitting in my inventory. But now, since I'm in Chungartha, I'm just using keys up the moment I get them. I don't take a combat loadout or anything, I just go it with my usual, and leave the doors open to share with everyone. Even if some rat (non-lethal) gets in and steals a bunch of loot - whatever I carry out is still much better than $1 an unused key is worth.

After having spent 13 hours in pvp lobbies I've come to the conclusion that killing other players is pretty much meaningless

No, it didn't feel very accomplishing or satisfying. Most of the time when fighting someone it's just pure luck for whoever gets the better bullet spread/bloom, since the TTK is so low it comes down to like 1 or 2 bullets
Even though I started this experiment because I got bored of the pve lobbies, I think this has made me appreciate them more as it sucks doing literally anything that isn't pvp in the pvp lobbies. It's like an entirely different game, much closer to a Battle Royale as you're rarely engaging with any of the other content and if you try to, you'll just get shot in the back

you can also equip a light shield without an augment, meaning you no longer get onetapped by ferro/anvil headshots

turn off autogain, they fucked something up in the last update and it keys off background noise instead of your voice now, making you sound choppy as shit

also, there are separate audio volume sliders for team/area chat, it's possible the defaults (for other people) are too low

I've long since disabled autogain because it fucks with the levels for other applications. But man, that makes total sense. I've heard that choppiness from other people a TON and wondered if it was a network issue. Quite a relief to know this honestly

They will continue to "blindly" follow you, just like they "blindly" camp you, and when your cloak falls for even a second, you can't both put it back up and move quickly enough to dodge the AOE of the rocket being "blindly" fired at your last known position. Now lure grenades on the other hand...

The ARCs should rape downed players instead of ignoring them.
>>
>>552926897
Stop.
>>
>>552926829
I use it all the time and it works fine, you have to walk a path that ends up behind the rocketeer or get to the nearest building and wait it out/let the cloak recharge, and possibly use it with a combination of running

but i get it, sometimes shits just unfair

This is bullshit, kill everyone on sight always. Anyone trying to act friendly is just trying to stab you in the back.

>>552927198
I think of the cloak as a good way of preventing aggro rather than managing it. A few patches ago you could wave it in their face and arc would piss off. Now they hang out and wait out your timer. It also makes sense that once an artillery unit learns your position you should have to seek cover, cloak or not.

I used to hate the pvp in this game and did only pve
I thought that because of the TTK and being shot in the back the pvp sucked
I reached the end of pve and realized the pve in this game actually fucking sucks
Every enemy is completely solvable and is at worst just fucking annoying or buggy instead of actually challenging

The only fun part left in this game for me is killing people who shoot at me first so they have an advantage or giving friendly randos shit

I got the blue bag from a discord quest when the game came out, but I doubt anyone notices it. The bobblehead flair was from a twitch quest and its actually my favorite thing. The bucket was auto equipped when I made a new toon this season, I don't like it, but I havent been killed since I started wearing it. So if you dont wear a lucky bucket then I dont even know what the fuck youre doing.

in theory? sometimes people looting larger areas like buried city town hall leave their mines at the entranceafter leaving through the back door, in a place you might be able to reach to disarm

in practice? fuck no lol

Blueprints seem to be tied either to specific zones/maps or container types.
For example the only blaze nade BPs I found were from primary facility, and pulse/deadline are only found on stella.

It's equal to stitcher at 7cps and better than every other game at 9+cps, the upper limit being 12cps.

Predictions on what will be meta after greys get pummeled into the ground?
It's probably gonna be venator/toro with medium shields and light impacts/heavy fuses imo
>>
>>552965651
have you been under a fucking rock for the last month anon?
kettle is completely broken since every nigger and their dog have clickmacros spamming 20 CPS
>>
>>552966034
My prediction is that greys aren't going to get pummeled into the ground as Embark are probably SEETHING as the community is complaining about the Stitcher and Kettle
They genuinely think they're perfectly balanced as their last move was to "bring the Rattler up to their level"
So we're most likely just going to see some minor shit like reducing the Stitcher's bullets by 1 or at the very least capping the Kettle firerate so it can't be macro'd (it will still be macro'd)
They'll just throw the community a bone to shut them up, and reddit will probably eat it up
>>
>>552966297
it's superior even at 7 CPS, you don't even need a macro, shit's just that busted.
>>
>>552966352
macros make it substantially easier to aim at that ROF if you're over 15
and many console controllers have "turbo" modes that do the same thing
>>
>>552966343
even shitddit has to eventually get fed up with there being zero point in ever using "better" gear, meaning nobody ever runs it, meaning "muh pvp loot" is always trash, causing pvp niggers to bitch about it, making pve players double down on never taking anything better than a ferro or anvil out so as to ruin pvper's days
>>
>>552966556
I shit you not, I JUST read this comment
>Imagine being excited about guns being "balanced" (nerfed), and wasting resources on higher tier guns that'll force you to use the nerfed guns once you're out of the resources to craft or maintain the higher tier guns. Devs and gamers never learn.
many of them don't actually want meaningfully better gear as they're just happy hopping on for 30 minutes a day shooting shit up with their trash gear because it means they don't have to feel any FOMO or put in any effort to play the game

I do wonder for how long the game is going to retain the normalfags playing 30 minutes a day. Like are there really 300k of them
The game feels like something that would be FOTM because of how shallow its systems are and how most of the fun comes form emergent player encounters and yet it's hitting the same peak over 2 months later. I genuinely don't get it

>>552966773

How much cognitive dissonance has to fit in a person to shit out such garbage from his excuse of a mouth?

Actually it's almost a trend - normalniggers are extremely scared of nerfs, see HD2 as a recent example, they moaned and cried so much that enemies were nerfed and weapons were overbuffed before there was no game left in the game.

>The game feels like something that would be FOTM because of how shallow its systems are and how most of the fun comes form emergent player encounters and yet it's hitting the same peak over 2 months later. I genuinely don't get it
You have to realize that they don't want actually innovative mechanics nor they wish to learn any of them. The perfect FOTM is as shallow as you think it is with a single interesting factor being the toss-up for the genre.
>woawza pvp game has a good proximity voice system!!
That's really enough for them.
>>
>>552966960
Normies are only here still because there isn't any other good fps. CoD is shit every year and BF6 everyone realized was boring after a few days and had more fun playing the beta. The only other pve heavy games like this are hd2 which is old as shit now so most people dont want to get into it, space marines which is fine but short lived, and monster hunter wilds which was dogshit with horrible performance and was giga casualized with focus mode and wounds. The next FOTM game that pops up is when the normies will leave by the thousands.

They should add some humanoid ARCs that can behave like players, give them some buffs like infinite stamina (they are robots after all) but maybe nerf accuracy a little, but can open doors and stuff so can chase players anywhere, randomise between weapons, maybe have them act in squads too.

Reduce the amount of damage light weapons do to shields would probably be my preference. Will let PvPers duke it out still but reduce their effectiveness at ambushing players not looking for a fight.
>>
>>552969546
You can just buff shields without fucking up light ammo weapons above grey rarity.
The "X ammo type deals less damage to Y shields" is the stupidest shit I keep hearing.
>>
>>552969641
buffing shields will make players too strong against ARCs and reduce the challenge of the game on that side
>>
>>552969854
Fair, but you can adjust arc damage separately without interfering with other systems unlike what would happen with that shield mechanic. Or you can polarize shield roles by making them stronger but reducing movespeed more.

Trying to play with randoms is such a rage inducing experience. I mean, these people must truly be lower life forms. I don't know how else to put it? They have no reaction speed, no sense, no idea what they're doing, can't fight, don't shoot back, never seem to know where they're going or what they're doing.

I wouldn't even call myself intelligent, I wouldn't say I have high IQ or that I'm even good at the game. And yet, the people I get paired with in randoms are so unbelievably dumb it's crazy. I actually can not understand how it's possible to be so bad, so useless. I can't imagine what they're like in real life if they're this fucking dumb and bad at a simple video game.

What is your experience with trio randoms? Yeah I get it's "random" but I've played with some good teams before. But like 99/100 times its actual fucking retards. Frankly, someone who is actually retarded in a mental handicap sense would be more intelligent then these people.
>>
>>552975525
if you're random queuing expecting more than a social experiment, you're as dumb as they are
>>
>>552975525
One time I queued trios thinking they'd help me kill a leaper, I explained the whole plan to them and how we're going to go inside this building and just shoot it until it dies
They just ignored me
I solod the leaper
idk what they are doing, but just standing there 200m away
Another team came in and took the core
And when I headed to extract they were just there waiting for me
Like what the fuck
>>
>>552975821
What I'm saying is that even if you were stupid in real life, or at the very least the average person, you COULDN'T be or act this way in game. Just by the sheer basis of reality that you're a living breathing human being, you CAN NOT be this dumb, useless, and bad. I'm saying there is a bare minimum level of competency that is innate and inherent. And yet, what is put on display when I play with randoms (and not just in ARC but other games too) says otherwise. So it really leads me to believe that these people must be a lower life form of some sort. They must have no consciousness, no thoughts swirling in their mind, or something. It's honestly fascinating.

If you're trying to be a nigger rat an Osprey is better. Torrente only really works upclose because the spread is crazy unless you have the best attachments possible. Bobcat would also be better upclose if running a heavy shield. Osprey is probably the best option since you can shoot from afar doing max damage.

you have this many weeks in days

I tried the waiting until later in the week method, last week myself actually

and there is something strange with how it places you on leaderboards later in the week, I'm the anon who posted about being moved around on leaderboards as my score increased, personally I don't need any exclusive blueprints besides vita shot and vita spray, so I may only hit the supply drop and harvest plants trials, and hope that either, avoiding an extremely high score, or avoiding trials that can get potentially high scores, so that it keeps me in a leaderboard where everyone has relatively low scores
the bastion ones are just too farmable for high scores
and honestly I just don't feel like doing the snitch one
but I'm not missing anything important and just want the outfit on Daredevil, so I'm not missing out on much, and I guess I can hit up those trials if my leaderboard suddenly becomes sweaty
>>
>>552980948

>>
>>552981081
my plan was to avoid those trials completely, not sure if that will actually make a difference or not, I will probably get on the leaderboard tomorrow and keep an eye on what happens to the scores and rankings over time

if avoiding trials doesn't help, then you will have to prepare to farm a trial so you don't get put in the non-promotion bracket
mine last week was like 25k at the top of non-promotion, meaning everyone who did the basic 3* didn't get enough points to rank up

I only 3* the rocketeer trial and it put me in a leaderboard where I was #1 with 14k
Then I think I did the wasp trial 3* and it suddenly threw me onto a new leaderboard where I was 7th place
Then I did another trial 3* and it moved me to another leaderboard again

I didn't recognize the names both times I got moved, I could be mistaken, but I was checking after every match once I started farming trials and that was basically 3 games in a row

at the end of the week I HAD to find a Rocketeer to farm to stay on the +1 promotion bracket

tl:dr
I really don't know the best way to farm trials, the general consensus is just waiting until later in the week, but I do not see anyone else posting about their experience with leaderboards, just anonymous posts going

the only "tip" I learned and will share with you, is that some looters know the exact amount of items that is supposed to be in a container like for example

the guy will open a container, see theres only 3 items before they are revealed, and move on

This is the most fun I’ve had playing an online multiplayer game since Halo 2. I find the genius of this game endlessly fascinating. The audio contrast between a chain gently shifting in the wind to the booming thunder of a Matriarch protecting the Harvester. The creepiness of having a tick following you in the dark on night mode. The scenic weather conditions that make the game feel so alive and the art design that makes the world feel like the relic of a world once lived in. The genius map design and the way the quests force players to explore the stories behind the maps.

I love that I can go in with grey guns and win a fight. I love that a free load out doesn’t feel hopeless until you find some magnificent blueprint and then all of a sudden you start bemoaning your cheapness. I adore going into Stella with heavy shields, a Torrente IV and a Vulcano III, as I mow helpless squads. The customization systems are great and the guns feel unique and special.

I love that the cosmetics aren‘t cosplaying as Navy Seals or The Punisher. I love how we look like normal people, dressed in the scraps they found while living underground in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

I think the developers have struck gold. And the biggest thing I think they need to do is not listen to the constant crying from the community. Instead I hope they do what they think is best for their game.

Unless it’s about actual money. Because for real those early cosmetics were over priced and I appreciate them listening.

They ain't retaining fuck all. There's been a huge influx of new players, meanwhile the game is hitting the same peak numbers meaning a bunch of people has already left and got replaced by the christmas buyers. So whenever you hear anything about this game's "insane" retention it's not really retention, it's churn.
>>
>>552966034
Venator was never off meta, it just stopped being #1 after nerf. It's still my favorite pvp weapon (I just can't deign to use a stitcher) and will probably be back at #1 if grays receive any meaningful nerf (which they probably won't, devs are camping rat stitcher niggers that hate skill expression.) If nigger trades stop being BIS I expect people will just go back to heavy fuzes. Showstoppers will probably also be much more common thanks to the newfound abundance of blueprints. With TTK this low a 2 second stun is basically a guaranteed kill. Now that I'm thinking about it, mk3 flanking augments will probably also shine in a showstopper meta, shaving precious ms off the grenade swap. Anybody want to trade me a mk3 flanking augment?

Another thing is that they only nerfed nukes after the playerbase plummeted(200k -> 50k on Steam) so it's entirely feasible they'll continue doing the same incremental bullshit like in 1.7.0 until people start leaving in droves. I'm seeing a lot of the same problems I've seen in Finals so it wouldn't be surprising if this game ends up the same.

Yes! I bought Shadow of the Erdtree when it went on sale ages ago, but never got around to making a new character and playing it. Since nothing is happening in Arc until probably February, I have plenty of time to finally see what I've been missing. Cheesed Mohg to hit the DLC at level 38, but the rest I did more or less honestly.

the only nerf to triger nades that makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep them relevant without being broken anymore, is massively increasing the arming timer

make it 5 seconds - you can't detonate them fro 5 seconds after they're thrown and don't change anything else

problem solved without making them worthless for pve

i got the game two weeks ago so its still fresh for me, but it's losing its appeal everyday i play without a friend

Hey RATS, please give me insight into your thinking...
When you see someone gathering SNOWBALLS you KNOW they're either prepping or lining up to go into a TRIAL.
I presume you lot KNOW that TRIALS need a sucussful EXTRACT.
Triallers aren't "gettin your goooop," they're on a speedrun against the clock.
SO
What goes through your head to fuck with a run that gets you a "kill" but yeilds... snowballs?
Seriously.... is it even a SATISFYING kill nailing someone completely unarmed with a handful of snow?
It's of course hilarious when you get a face full of torrente (and thank you my overwatch angel for doing this).
>>

Driftcoat and Torpedo are the only good skins in this game, i can't stomach anything else

I am actually going to link a summation of Dabrowski's thesis, because it will alleviate the White people's confusion: https://youtu.be/Wdl2BUXPYLQ?si=gRU6Zw6NGcyulEvt

Basically PvPnigs are level 1, as evidenced by

Don't get mad, niggers, according to Dabrowski you are normal. It's the people capable of higher thought that are weird.

They're ultimately going to kill the game if they don't add new bosses and new guns.

There are so many ways to add longevity to this fucking game and I KNOW they're not going to do it.

They're going to dripfeed it. One new gun to chase at a time, one new boss at time, one new map. I don't think the game has the momentum to sustain that. I've already finished most of the blueprints and spend most of my time fighting the 2 bosses they have.

The key problem with this game's longevity is that the core loop sucks ass. New content isn't the answer as it always takes longer to create than it does to play through it. The core game needs to be interesting enough to continue playing it.
>>
Bruh how many of these sentry turrets do I need to kill to get ONE blue module from them?
>>
>>553004829
the machine gun turrets don't have what you're looking for
only the sniper turrets
>>
>>552997460
The real answer is that most people aren't sitting there analyzing what you're doing and retracing your potential steps to figure out if you're a 'valid kill' or whatever. You type like a boomer that huffed too much lead growing up so this is probably going to come as a serious shock but you are not the center of the world and people don't really think or care much about what you do in general. He wanted to shoot someone in his PvPvE game, saw someone, and shot them. You're probably going to spin that as a sign of low intelligence and lack of empathy while ignoring your own inability to fairly see his perspective, how retarded you are for getting upset over a video game, or how insane it is to expect other people to be friendly in an open PvP environment because you're doing a trial rather than expecting PvP to happen and being wary.
>>
>>553005979
Yeah that guy was probably stupid and thinks the world revolves around him and thinks pvp is ok in a game about morality
>>
>>553004095
Because the core loop depends on getting new blueprints.

Here's some easy ways to increase longevity between bigger more substantial content:
-Boss modifiers/variants, like:
-Two (2) queens at one time, or even three (3) queens
-Queens/Matriarchs that need their joints busted before you can attack the core
-Heavily armored queens/matriarchs that have only handful of weak points
etc

-Rotating enemy modifiers on maps, like:
-More leapers/rocketeers on the map
-A leaper with more legs
-Wasp swarms over the entire map
etc

All can drop unique armor or blueprint variants of existing guns.

I'm sure many anons can come up with small modifiers + minor blueprints/rewards that can increase the longevity.

when you spend time having fun, dying will be an annoying setback but not feel like a waste of time because the process itself was fun. when you spend all match laser focused on a chore you do not find fun, dying becomes an extreme frustration as the last match really was a waste of time since it wasn't even fun. this is the pitfall chungards often fall into.

The game pretty flagrantly reduces the drop rate for whatever quest/project mats you actively need. Here's what ya do:

>go to residential area (I did this in Grandioso Apartments)
>find another raider looting the area
>explain your conundrum
>if he also needs coffee pots, surrender and find new lobby
>if he doesn't need coffee pots, ask what he needs
He will find your coffee pot, and you'll probably find whatever he's looking for (assuming you do not also need it.) I guarantee it.

nah
in games that have a collection loop/mechanics like this, I have started tracking the types of items that are most commonly used in occasional/timed/limited scenarios

across the ~20 games I've been doing this on, the actual recorded acquisition rate of items drops by ~15% once they're needed compared to before or after they are needed, which is equal parts fascinating and infuriating

while it's certainly _possible_ that droprates for specific items across many games by many studios and publishers using many different engines are tweaked when the item is needed compared to when it's not, I find it more likely the desire sensor is real

I can't explain it to you. It is a concept you literally can't understand. Non savages irl and in this game sometimes sacrifice time/money/energy for an intangible payoff in this nebulous thing called the "future." When you undermine those sacrifices, which constituted a moment to moment gameplay experience that you accurately understood to not be enjoyable, it is frustrating. That is because the non savage was looking forward to something. I know you don't know what those words mean, but just take my word for it when I say that those intangible payoffs are worth it when they are not undermined by high time preference niggers such as yourself who ooga booga freekit and shoot at everything you see.

I got bad vibes and killed someone on Matriarch just now. I looted his body and he was a freekitter with nothing on him.

Why do they let brown people queue this map mode?

Calming Stroll yes or no? The mobility one that gives stam regen as if you were standing still when walking

>>553021329
i go full stamina build because im a contrarian so yes
just be aware it's not the regular walk/jog it affects. it's the button the toggles the jog off and makes you actually walk
>>
>>553021329
I feel like its useless because youd have stamina shots anyways, and I feel like jogging to regain stamina would be the same distance if you had walked until full anyways. someone should test that out. have two people be out of stam and see if it would be faster to reach a destination jogging and sprinting or walking and sprinting

Im not 100% convinced its happening, but I wouldnt outright claim it isnt either. In the past I'd argue that such small dynamic tweaks would require massive resource overheads just to even function, let alone make sense. But its clear that in modern times this mentality is just baked into all software development from the start, at all levels

In principle it would make sense that lowering item droprate when an item is needed would increase engagement / playtime. What I would question though, is if and how that tweak would conflict with other item drop rate variables. And if so, how many other systems are affected and to what degree?

For example: Do they affect the drop rate for just said player, or do they affect the entire loot pool of the map the raider is playing in? For residential-type event items (wine bottles, candle holders, etc), would they affect their spawn rate only in containers, or also for open world spawns outside containers? Is match making affected at all, either by grouping players with similar needed items (to raise competition and thus potential conflict), or by grouping players with dissimilar needed items (to encourage cooperation)?

Whats clear to me is just how easily + quickly they can adjust drop rates. But what's not clear is how much they understand the ramifications of any given change, e.g. the BP drop rate for the cold snap update, which was promptly nerfed a few days after. Keep in mind that was a change applied to all players across the board. In theory that would have been the most straightforward change to anticipate the outcome of, yet they still landed way off the mark of what they intended.

My point in all this is that even if they have systems set up in place to tune these things, I'm highly skeptical they would be able to apply them in such a way that it would actually yield their intended effect and/or not completely break other systems in the process

I meant I take the perk because i don't want to craft and remember to bring adrenaline, if it wasn't clear
>>
>>553021546
Yeah thanks, I know I use walking rather than crouching a lot more for sneaking up in general too so I think its maybe worth it overall. Like closing distance running then out of stam walking up regening at the same time. >>553021946
I'm 99% sure that jogging is faster
>>
>>553022904
the walk you need to do is so slow that it's better to just keep jogging as you regen stamina. I took it before
>>
>>553023294
I needed 36 points anyway
>>
don't worry guys once we are on expedition 16 we won't ever have to worry about where to allocate our skill points anymore
>>
>>553023484
I basically just need 2 more expeditions for my build, and after that it's just bonus points fed into the green tree I guess
>>
How many lootable containers do you think spawn during a daytime stella raid desu?
>>
>>553024263
136, I counted
>>
>>553023280
>>553023294
Whats extra annoyiong is that Calming Stroll is inherently made less useful if you invest into Marathon Runner, which itself is basically an automatic choice for any build period. To make it useful, they'd need a skill that specifically increases stamina regeneration while standing still, or better yet a skill that increases the slow-walking movement speed

Man they really need to rework this skill tree

What do

>>553030496
nta, but to waste my fucking time

90% of all valuable loot is already shoved in someone's ass and they're out the door by 5-7 minutes into a given match

there's little to no point in killing people after that for "loot" unless they're killing big arc and were stupid enough to bring actual gear into the game instead of ferros/anvils

>>553030772
respec and get both top mobility keystones if you're really going that deep into the tree

also you should 5/5 the stamina recovery node just before the "disarm" node in survival

they already added the trailblazer blueprint and the seeker grenade bp (?) in the latest update
we are on pace to reach a point where you have a gacha SSR rate to get the blueprint you want out of a random drop

You're in the lobbies with cheaters, when they interact with you they scrape your embarkid to send you that message.
Start paying attention to how the fights play out or if anything seems sus. If you were completely alone without being near anyone but then you get jumped in isolation that one was probably stalking you and may be cheating.

I caught a few aimlocking onto my head during rolls and quick movement, even streamers cheat if you see their lock on be too obvious when accidental button switch.

>>553030972
>respec and get both top mobility keystones if you're really going that deep into the tree
27 or 29 aint that deep I don't wanna spend another 7+ for no stam cost on vaulting because there isnt skills worth those 7 points imo a more balanced split between the skill trees is a lot better

These damned rats KNOW their rotation so well and I watch as they are just sprinting with stims around each leg that are shot at or heavily damaged. I just want the cores to make more energy weapons but now wonder why there are so few being run sometimes.

I played tarkov forever since alpha until quitting some patches ago. Even on unity engine Nikita would watch streamers and live edit drop rates for streamers. It must be a server side editor they can toggle and fine tune at least.
>patch 0.sum ting wong
>NOBODY can find flash drives
>Pestily complains on stream about never getting any
>no patch wi tu lo
>flash drives market crash as they are as abundant as ammo
Just within a couple hours, no patching or server reset hot fixes. Same goes for AI difficulty, their bots are tied to server performance and they manually adjust because when the wipe goes on long everyone's stashes get bloated and when they load into a raid its their whole json file of shit in their private stash too not just what they brought in so there are less bots, less active and the server performance increases as players die or leave the raid.

That probably won't happen to arc because they optimize much better and I doubt a players entire stash is loaded in with them but just a reference to slav spaghetti code.
