About time, holy shit.
watching this glorious E guy for drops and its kinda nice to see other people play cause you can learn from their mistakes but also see how some strats you didnt know about work
>>583904914I would've made the thread hours ago but I figured it would have just devolved into people throwing a fit about the OP being me and derailing it constantly.
>>583904992>plays with dupreehSmall world. Last week when they had Arena twitch drops I learned kioShiMa plays Arena competitively lmao
game runs like shitgame looks like shitgames progression is shitgames quests are shitgames AI is shitgames gunplay is shitgameplay loop is shitgames devs are moneygrabbing slavs who like shit expensive carsI got into the game at the start of the season, completed the battlepass, tried to do the Kord quest unlocks and couldnt even find BD on the regular maps, so I quit because the devs are clearly a pack of mongs who like wasting their paypigs time. The fact some of you people have stayed onto this game for nearly 10 years putting up with this slav BS tells me you have broken brains. >you're just shit at shooter games!!!!ive competed in fps tournaments>you just dont have the patience to farm!!!ive farmed the winterspring frost saber multiple times on numerous WoW private servers these devs fucking despise you because no matter what you will play their shit coded unity(LOL) game and give them money for random crap.again, your brains are brokenfuck tarkov, fuck bsg, and fuck nikita
>>583906852What makes you think anyone here cares?
>>583907021you do care that's why you responded. you just don't like my critique of the game because you're a manchild stuck playing a shit game over and over again because you have nothing else in your life.
>>583907802No, I didn't bother reading anymore after I noticed it's yet another game le bad post. Seethe and mald, I don't care.
>finally played a raid yesterday evening to hopefully get put in an easy league>league wasn't even full yet, only 30-ish players>login today in the afternoon and check the league>top25 player is at 430k XP, top1 at 2 milIt's over, sweats figured it out...
post these:>the amount of hours after the rank changed and you played your first raid>top1 xp>top10 xp>top25 xpI'll start:>40 hours>2.1 mil>1.6 mil>1.1 mil
Wow, this seems unfathomably annoying, please do not queue on dead servers today, I would like to get it done in peace.
>>583906852wow very cool!!!
Man...has anyone else been as bummed about the task changes this year as I have? The current task progression system is totally soulless. Old tasks felt like they had so much character. But now they dumbed it down to the point that they're just not memorable anymore. I was watching some of my old clips yesterday from like 1-3 years ago and I could tell exactly what task I was doing in almost all of them. I just hate how they dumbed a lot of them down and made them easier. Even fucking tiger safari, I fucking LOVED trekking through all of customs as a timmy every wipe and getting into trouble. Now you only have to mark 1? Lame!Another thing is kappa, I'm so fucking bummed that they made kappa easier. I was like 1.5 months away from getting kappa the legit way for the first time. I had already completed all the hardest tasks (Tshooter8, psycho sniper, etc.) but hadn't saved all the collector items ahead of time. I just thought I had all the time in the world because there were no wipes...A lot of aspects of the game have gotten more fun, but I'm still bummed about the tasks. Seasonal pvp would have been way more fun if we got to do the kino early game tasks a lot instead of the rando stuff thats going on now.
>>583909897Yeah, shit fucking sucks now. Like, most old tasks were in a good place, there were only select few that required adjusting, notably stuff like Test Drive or Sew it Good 3, they absolutely went overboard with making them way too easy. Also there's barely anything actually worth focusing on for particular rewards or unlocks, since 90% of quests just give roubles now. Also some quests are really weird, like why the fuck do you get a REAP-IR at the start to stash on Customs? And on top of that, you only get measly 3k XP for it, there's no point ever doing that quest.
>>583904992glorious(unc)_e is the only streamer i can watch on/off really another thing is that this skill leveling n leveling for prestige is aids :( and i cant find the 2 boss figurines for new beginning
looks like scavving works again. now that i'm seeing other scavs, i dont mind announcing it. i got 4-5 prime ammo runs without seeing anyone but pmcs.
>>583910216Yep, BSG kinda broke and decided to make everything just crazy easy thinking that's why would attract new players. But that doesn't matter for new players, their problem is getting killed out of nowhere by sweats lol. The tasks are way easier now but it's not like you don't have to look up a wiki, the end result is still the same.
>take down tagilla and 4 pmcs who were trying to fuck him up>looting>not paying that much attention>WAHNO SOOKAH>single shotgun blast of express violates my no-no square (throat) and i drop over like a sack of potatoes second death since resetting, but i'm gonna just put on some streamer for drops and go to bed. got through a lot of quests today and had my first time winning a close-range encounter with Shturman since i almost always snipe him.
Instead of adding sponsored kits to PvP they should just increase the loot on-map massively. Every dead body should have a guaranteed piece of PMC/Scav typical gear, every terragroup weapon box 1 guaranteed western smg/rifle and some usable ammo for the gun and at least 1 mag (or armor/rig), same for the Russian green crates. Game revolves entirely around buying gear from traders far too much.
>>583909897i hate it, they essentially quartered the amount of content you had with questsall quests are ridiculously easy, and now you get kappa in a week playing casually with no other end game goals worth pursuing, you better find pvping or doing something else for the sake of it fun, or you might aswell just wait for the next wipe
>>583914343they would if they could. They are retards and can't figure out anything than the current simple loot algorithm. Hell, they can't even figure out pathfinding for bots.

>>583917203shoot head ?
>>583917293>what is aimpunch
>>583915997>>583917291A window into a parallel universe in which Escape from Tarkov is a game designed for the modern audience.
>>583915997what is raid review recording
>>583918329basically it records as you play and at the end it gives you a 2d map of the raid you can play back and watch and lets you see what all the bots are thinking and doing, it's helpful if you're trying to make sure your ai mods are working right or to see who those footsteps were or whatever
Nikita add a suicide button and revolver cylinder spinning Tarkov needs TS
>>583918559Why can't we have this in real Tarkov
>>583916803>PMC VISION ACTIVATED>Exfil camper [HERE]
PMC vision would be a fun April fools day joke. Advertise it as x ray vision and then when you turn it on all you see is a ricardo scav dancing in a thong
>>583924407That's dumb
>>583925791What? Worried you'll get horny?
>1238 raids on seasonal + Lightkeeper questline achievement>still camps me and is too afraid to move (his RSASS vs my M700 btw)Why are people like this?
>>583928031I don't know, but I keep wondering when Tarkov will finally stop being a horror game ten raids in.The anxiety really is what gets me killed most of the time, if feel that if I approached this like regular shooter where I can just press the respawn button I'd do much better.
>>583928747The problem is that until you have an actual amount of money/establishment, you straight up can't do that. Tarkov has the horrible paradox of people wanting to be fighting superchads decked in ultra armor, bullets that can effectively immediately render you dead no matter what you're wearing, and consequences that are fairly dire when you die (lost stuff, loading into/out of raid becomes more common than playing, etc). Ratting is a natural, sensible process in any game where getting back into the action is unpleasant. This is not me suggesting they arena-fy the game, I like it how it is.
>>583929981ayo he dindu nuffin
>>583928963>This is not me suggesting they arena-fy the gameYeah I tried that and it sucked. Thing is, my current state leads me into a hardcore fight or flight response when I do encounter another player, which results in either mindlessly rushing them , freezing up or panicked flight. All three get me killed like a retard.Like I will hear the duffle bag sound from another room in a building, then just freeze in place and not move an inch for several minutes.
>>583929981>pve playerlol
>>583930251Add it to the list
>>583932320>I tried PvP Tarkov as a lunchtime rowdy
>kill a level 46 pmc>had the khaki armored rig on and a barebones SKS with hp ammoGlad to know I'm not the only one doing badly.
>>583932478Post-raid checked his stats:>character is still naked, even though I spent like 30 minutes more in the raid>6300 hours played>kdr 0.71, sr 51 %The playtimes of every single player I kill or get killed by in seasonal is absolutely fucking disgusting. Can't even remember the last time I saw a playtime of less than 2000 hours.
Thank you for an easy league XP boost, Ragman.
>need to kill Sanitar>spawn in>Sanitar and his guards are just sitting in the open>they open fire at me>quickly seek shelter>wait until they deaggro>they open fire at someone else>go check>see them firing in the opposite direction>get head, eyed by another guy, while searching for the guy Sanitar is shooting atI should've just quickly killed Sanitar, so I could've gotten the fucking task done. I would've died either way.
>>583934312Yeah, if I'm on a boss kill quest especially with someone easily 1 tapped like Sanitar I'm going to go balls in even if other players are around, don't care if I die afterward, I want that dopamine from the task completion.
>>583934312you lost
>>583934312>need to kill SanitarWhy, didn't you hear Therapist? he's a good boy who dindu nuffin.
>>583942776Sanitar is a bitch ass nigger and therapist gives the worst head in the norvinsk region.
>>583932631i've killed like 10 <200 hour players today
>>583942691What's the point of these posts, exactly? Not like that anon even implied that he had won or not lost or anything like that. Seen that same post like 100 times already in these generals.
>>583945618he's the brown pve retard who has no other ways of contributing to the general
>>583945618"It's an evil message I know...""But it has to be said."
>>583945618I can't explain it fully because it's off topic, but suffice to say... "you lost" is a political catchphrase from a certain movement of the red chapeaus. I envy you that you need this explained.
>be inside a building>a grenade gets throw from the outside>can't hear the grenade hit the floor, nor could I see the model>explodes right under my feet without me knowing anything about itCool to know that the silent grenade bug is still in the game. So cool to die to shit like this, holy moly.
>>583946661you lost
>>583947598Why are you like this, anon?
>>583946661Are you sure it wasn't an impact?
does anyone know what the source on "pve is the largest game mode" is? the only quote ive seen about the player count split is the 7% pvp, 38% pve and 55% pvp-s
>>583949775Just an F1, it was thrown by one of Sanitar's guards.
>>583949842Tweets by Nikita.
>>583909897Yea. Progression is really fast but it also made it really unsatisfying.

>>583985459Unless you're playing spt this didn't happen.
Reminder that the "you lost" poster is still mindbroken because of an M700 he lost to a naked with AKM several weeks ago.
wow my gun that doesnt malfunction has a 5% reduced change to malfunction
>>583985915it did happen
Really dislike the new trend they're pushing with quests
anyone here use foxyz? if so how are they?
I don't know what they did but the high ping experience is SO much worse now than it was last week, like insanely unbelievably so. Every single thing is incredibly delayed, you WILL NOT win any fight and bots are 10x more likely to get a shot in on you
>>583989303no one here uses cheats, vegg
After i get prestige 2 ill uzi max since ive beaten my surv streak of 60 lmaofuck this boss figurine n skill leveling tho
>>583988393Did it yesterday, wasn't as hard as I expected, though I did almost die to Black Division TWICE on Streets. The most annoying part is someone taking the saferoom exit before you can get there forcing you to reset, the rest is relatively smooth.
>>583991949Not saying they're hard, they're just transit pandering and it's ass
>>583992135Yeah but at least the transit is close to the container with the case. And the follow up quest is very straightforward with no strings attached, which is nice
>>583992507I can get a right good wank while waiting for something to exist
Damn it, I fucked up against Wedge. He's actually pretty doable legit if you really fucking send it, but I fucked up against one of his buttbuddies by aiming too low and thorax'd him, giving him time enough to fuck me up a lot before the next guy put one more bullet in me. I shouldn't have panicked, I had time to kill the last guy but positioned myself like shit in the kitchen and was worried I was getting towards the end of my mag. Oh well.
>>583992575Dripped the fuck out. Good luck anon.

>>583994419They don't.Survey's and insurance items are the only thing that expire, codes and lootboxes don't.The crates will also be sent to you again if you prestige or reset your character.I've been following every drop they've made in the past 2 years, and every single time I am prestiging now I'm getting like 300~ crates.

Hit the hermetic bunker extract on reserve for the first time in like 3 years kek. It's actually really fun flipping the alarm then making a mad dash, very tense. Had 3 pmc's worth of loot on me from some bozos that all wanted to snipe from dome. Barely made it out because a squad a raiders decided to post up right at the extract.

>>584039750I'm also in the zone, sucks what happened to you, i died previously to bd bcs I got hit and held alt and D so i did a retarded sidestep instead of moving
>>584040327Good job.>held alt and D so i did a retarded sidestep instead of movingI completely unbound that shit, there's literally no point to ever use it unfortunately.
>>583903532What items are worth transferring when you prestige? Im assuming id get the most use out of propitals and sj6 early. Im only level 27 so I can't flea most things and won't be waiting for trader reset
>>584040456>hold tight angle>out of arm stam>alt d while it recharges a bit
>daily + weekly to win one (1) checkpoint game>3 niggers on my team play with pistols>2 have 0 capturesI am yet to willingly queue for this gamemode and not regret it.
>>584046860>next game23 captures btw
>>584048708they should add a give up button for checkpoint mode.
>>584046860>>584048708you lost
Played a few PVE raids with my friend since he just bought it and it's like I just run around shit gunning down retarded AI, I'll let him take the wheel instead and just follow along cause I can't imagine he was having fun
>>584049004
>>584049210Genuinely and unironically, EFT PvE needs to take some cues from Duckov. The difference in pressure and engagement between the two is fucking stark.
>>584039096>>584039750Next attempt went far better. Just Streets left.
>>584039750>>584052857You guys have other players in your raids?
>>584042885Either early hideout materials or FIR quest items, I like taking Samples stims and 3 Ice Cream Cones with me, you can also load them with good ammo and take them with you, you can't transfer ammo otherwise. Bitcoins are a great space filler too if you don't know what else to take.
>>584049210Had a similar experience with a friend who has played hundreds of hours of PvE:>friend hypes me up how much fun it is to do squad runs in PvE>assures me how challenging and fun the AI is>aight, might as well>go in with a pistol, kill a scav at the start and switch to his shit ass gun>kill every living soul on the map without any effort>be bored out of my mind, since I'm used to the erratic nature of human playersI have no idea how people are so hyped about PvE and defending it as a good alternative to PvP. If you are even half-decent at PvP, you will not enjoy PvE.
>>584053486There's an entire gamemode like that. TWO in fact!
>>584053743If you're in OCE you just have 3 PvE modes
>load into checkpoint>2 minutes in>leave
>>584053956Huh? I just won 4 CPT matches in a row by brutally mogging the opposing team. I just killed people and captured points, easy as that.
>>584054229Now post your match history
>have played as much as my wagie ass has been able to (PMC is level 43)>absolutely no chance at getting up a league and just barely hanging around the demotion cutoff>have completed a ton of tasks and have had pretty good raids in general>still like two million xp away from getting to the top 25Aight. Pretty demotivating, when the "competitive league" is all about just playing as much as possible, instead of being skill-related. I'm good at PvP, but I just can't put enough hours in to rack up enough xp.
>>584054725That's why you're supposed to wait until the end of the week, you get put in leauges that are created later, therefore having less average XP.>competitive leaguelol
>>584054959>That's why you're supposed to wait until the end of the week, you get put in leauges that are created later, therefore having less average XP.It works like that? I thought that it wouldn't matter, whether you racked up the xp at the start of the week or later into the week, as long as you are in the top 25.
>>584053636you played a beta version of something and made a claim about it always being like your first impression. I think your friend is based and you are retarded.
>>584055407You need to play a raid to get put into a league every week. It doesn't take a genius to figure out a new set of 50 players gets created when the previous one gets filled, so the later you start, the easier it is to rank up because the average XP is lower.
>>584055598How does that make the gamemode any more challenging or fun? That happened like a few weeks ago. It's just boring to run around without any sense of danger killing lobotomite-tier NPCs.
>>584055598Bait
>>584055678Ah, you meant it like that. I misunderstood your first post. Yeah, that of course makes sense, and I typically have been able to do my first raid when the weekend starts, so that hasn't really helped.
>kill a dude with the siege armor and a tagilla mask last raid>equip it and the dirty meta gun he had>30 seconds into the raid get shot in the head, survive>pick another route, since I have no idea where I even got shot from>like 1 minute later get shot in the head by another dude, this time with good enough ammo to pen the maskAlways nice to wear something super heavy, only to get obliterated a few minutes into the raid like that. Back to using utter garbage that's available to me then.
>>584053956I just start ignoring the points for the most part and try to have fun when that happensif the enemies are good enough to spawn camp I'll just leave or afk if I need quest creditlike in this game, we had two afk for the first few minutes giving the enemy team around a 400 point lead from the get go
>>584056073>I typically have been able to do my first raid when the weekend starts, so that hasn't really helped.Yeah unfortunately it seems the sweats have figured out later leagues are easier so they also wait now. I've played my first raid on Thursday this week and top25 is sitting at 860k XP with top1 being 2.1m. First 3 weeks were far easier.
>>584056240Yeah, I just got giga unlucky or something. I'm in league IV, and everyone in the top 25 has over 2 million xp and the first guy has over 10 million xp. Can't do anything about it and it seems that I might get demoted, no matter how much I play. Shit fucking sucks, lol.
>>584056515Unlucky, though now that I think about it, it may benefit you in the long run if you don't rank up, or perhaps even get demoted once. Think about it, all the sweats are very likely to advance so there will be far less competition if you're one week/rank behind.
>>584056662True, true.
>need 2 surv-ls for my 2 daily sudaks>oh nice an easy one!>hours later>no surv-lsdesire sensor working overtime today
>>584060229Just craft them?
>kill a turbo juiced dude and manage to escape from his butt buddy>get insta thorax'd through my cl 6 plate by a 20 hours played standard account dude with M80A1 in the middle of fucking nowhereIt's almost like he knew where I was and what I was carrying around. Damn.
>>584060479You can craft surv-ls???
>>584061537Bro....
>>584061537Sorry, no, lol. I misread it as being surv12.
>>584061614They've added weirder crafts before>>584061648rip
>have so many tasks on Lighthouse that their sheer amount is now overwhelming and I don't feel like doing the map at allLmao.
>hear someone closing in>hear only a single set of footsteps>step out and headtap the dude>one second later get engaged by his butt buddy and die to himThis has happened two raids in a row and god damn it, how fucking annoying it is. Of course I'd play my cards differently, if I had heard or seen that it was a squad.
>camping in the showers on Fort when the bloodied skull in the sink starts whispering to me
How long does it take for twitch drops to show up in game?
What kind of soviet voodoo did Partisan use to make his bag so much bigger on the inside?
>>584064475Like getting ganked in Dark Souls
The problem with the buffed PMC AI is that now they end up killing all the scavs so there aren't any left to complete tasks with. I got 2 scav kills for punisher part 1 last run and 11 PMC kills.
>>584064891
>>584066247Now why would a survivalist use a puffer jacket, which reflects light and tears itself open on branches and twigs?
>dead silent woods raids for 25 minutes>move a hundred meters and scope things out with my thermal>Suddenly a warzone breaks out at sunken village>Sprint my way there>I get to the area and it's back to dead silence and scavs walking around>Can't see shit with my thermals yet again>scavs resume random patrols and I have to drop a few with my axe I hate this fucking feeling that night raids give you but it's also what makes them the best fucking thing, Also I need to prestige 2 to get the Shadow daggers this Axe from wedge is cool but nothing beats the dagger
Has anyone else noticed that on average PMC AI have shittier gear? Why the fuck are they running around in slicks with class 3 plates nikita
>>584069443Fashion requires sacrifice.
>>584074151you won!
>>584074215I indeed did, anon. Even killed another PMC in the same raid, but it wasn't anything special, so need to write a diary about it here.
Do smokes against BD actually do anything at all now? Like is it even worth using them? Because I'm not seeing any difference at all between using them and not in their reaction times etc.
>>584074869>Do smokes against BD actually do anything at all now?no>Like is it even worth using them?if you like obstructing your own view
Think the hardest one is out of the way? Customs is just sit around cultist spawnand streets is uhhh idk actually
>>584070207No, because I'm not a retarded pve playing trash can.
I really want to buy a Mystery Ranch 2 day Assault Pack.......
>>584077562Putting the BD gear behind stupid fucking dogtag barters sucks ass.
>>584077881I meant like IRL but yea I think the barters are ass and they should all be Rookie tags at most specially since they don't come with plates, unless that changes when the season ends due to the low armor modifier
>>584066143half of mine appear to not have shown up and i claimed them hours ago, the others showed up instantly. I think it's barely functional like usual.
>>584081810Will you prestige again?
The goons should spawn on streets.
>>584082209for what purpose it's not like we already have 3 fucking bosses in that map currentlyt
BG pistol rounds are actually pretty fun and a nice change from the usual arena metaslopmakes it a bit unfortunate you can only play them twice per long ass fucking match
>>584082098hes too much of a nigger to prestige again
>>584077562Use it as a gym bag or something
What in the absolute fuck?>enter that kitchen building just to the north east of the north chalet (not the dining hall)>knew there were rogues in there, start blasting>kill one, then a second who seems to tank like 4 x39 PS headshots to... a cowboy hat, with sparks>weird enough, but I die just as he does>to a player???

>>584082098As much as I'd like a new daily/weekly slot, absolutely not. This shit is a nightmare so far sometimes. I've only just barely gotten a handle on my finances in game again and the real pain is Trader Rep + some super shitty quests I forgot existed. I did finish Tour but I haven't even checked a main plot quest in a while since I really wanna get ammo purchases unlocked asap. Being limited to stuff I find or buying shit like M856 or 5.45x39 PS is aids.
>>584103663embarrassing
>>584103754I realized pretty quickly doing it even once was a mistake, who thinks I'm going to Terminal or Icebreaker?
So have they ever fixed going into your hideout causing a performance loss in raids over time, or do I still have to restart my game every time I'm done with my hideout?
>>584103854noyes
>>584103863I love Escape from Tarkov, it's my favorite finished 1.0 videogame of all time.
>>584103925This but unironically
I wish Nikita would add more pvp maps. Icebreaker is cool and all but i just want more pvp variety
I have now figured out why you guys were bitching about the documents/drive shit from BD. I shall not bother trying to do that shit questline. I'l just paypig and buy the battlepass. Fuck all that farming and back and forth shit.
>>584106148>letting Nikita winPathetic.
>>584106380I am not going to farm some documents when they limit how many I can get. Fuck that.I also don't really care about a facemask or buying a gun from skier when I can just get it off the market. Money hasn't never been an issue. Just extract from your raids.The kord breach questline is an actual humiliation ritual
>>584106560Put your trip back on. You'll never get any of the actually good rewards locked behind the seasonal quests if you pay.
>>584106560>The kord breach questline is an actual humiliation ritualIt's not that bad, I'm on the final quest. The only one that was actually annoying was hunting BD on Shoreline because of how xboxhueg the map is.
Tell me /eftg/, what is your favorite helmet for the VIBES? Ignore stats for once, what helmets do you think look the best?I will always love the Altyn + Face Shield
>>584106678Not a helmet, but the Door Kicker.
>>584106618Haven't used a trip since 2012. They must not be good enough if I don't care for them.>>584106632Nah, that shit is cancer>>584106678Kolpak
>>584106969Handing in BD gear and stashing TNT is optional btw, you don't have to do those. Documents briefcase is a quest reward from a prior quest so it's easy.
>>584106969I want that SPEAR rig but I play PvE.
>it all finally arrivedBasedmight break out that RPD once Punisher Pt3 is done.
>Evasion armband no longer required for Kappa>find second one this seasonFuck off

refusing to play Tarkov is based
I only watch other people play Tarkov, just like in the bedroom.
>>584112429Side quests, farming some money from Reserve, trying to raise trader rep as soon as possible.

Open bolt/drum guns are un-fucking-usable until they fix these retarded packing bugs
>>584106148docs are pretty easy. just count up the stuff you want or have to get. you still play the maps as you usually do.
>>584114024>I fucking hate shoreline lmaoHow do you constantly make yourself more cringe?
>scav niggerchange >on loading in, PC suddenly reboots>twiceThis fucking game
increase BD spawn to 60% for fuck sake
Sufferring from success.
>>584119558any tips fighting these aimbot cunts in open fields ? i.e shoreline
>>584119641Haven't fought them at range on daytime, but this was night Streets and they didn't really seem to notice me past 100 or so meters. If you're close try to isolate them into multiple 1v1s and have a plan of escape after getting one. Doors are also your friend, they seem retarded around them most of the time and should give you enough time for a free kill or two.
>>584119804thanks man
there are people here, in this thread, that will say you shouldnt loot cabinets, unironically
>>584119915Anytime, go get em champ.
>>584119950filing cabinets are, alone, pretty much my main reason to go to Reserve. I love going down into the command center, hitting all of them and walking away with a huge amount of flea-able shit>>584117869Shoreline doodiebut, I did go back with 2 weapons (QBZ + SVD) and I ended up killing Sanitar and all of his guards at the little blue building near the shore. Got my ice cream cones, too!

>>584125090Hope you don't wake up you fat piece of shit.
What are you gentlemen doing this morning? Me? I'm hunting battlepass docs on reserve.
>>584129396>morningAfternoon, you mean. I'm waiting for another night in Tarkov so I can wrap up the questline. I probably won't turn it in until later next week because I don't wanna waste 100k XP.
>>584129396turn in sacrifices for my circle then fuck off because this game got stale as hell. Considering playing pve for the rewards but meh. I think I am burned out severely .
>>584130353Yeah my main character still has never escaped so I could do the main questline, but I'm deterred by how empty mainline pvp servers are sounding right now. I'd rather play where the people are, so right now that means grinding battlepass docs as something to do. All my traders are lvl3 so I'm not too pressed to do any other tasks in pvpS
>9x39 BP>damaged absorbed by armor 229>ammo used 4>hit count 4>damage dealt to body 0It's scary to think that some people genuinely take this game seriously.
i think i might just die so much because i'm never actually using my good ammo. i'm always running like 856a1 or BT when i have troves of good ammo -- enough to run full mags for a while or probably topload consistently. i should probably do that
Holy fuck the boss figurine and endurance leveling was aidsswordbro, wheres that p2 twin>>584129396why are you rocking zabralo without helmet ???
>>584133437>pve player cannot comprehend SOULFigures lol, plus it's only got lvl4 plates in it. The zabralo is actually a pretty ass armor because it's so fucking heavy and tanks your movement so much. I take the lvl6s out and put them in actually good armor.
>>584132556Yes, use good ammo. I'd say the #1 cause of people not getting as many kills as they could are >bad ammo so your headshots aren't 1-tapping>not running LVPOs for easy ambush snipes on stationary targets really far away
Ok PSA for reserve enjoyers: the unlocked 4th floor armory in black pawn seems to ALWAYS have a russian lvl5-6 armor in it. Free zabrallos, defenders, and reduts.
>>584133615i mean u can rock what ever but the zabralo is a odd choice thats all
9x18mm PstM proving once again to be a very versatile round. In a pinch it can leg people at a distance, when you can't reliably hit their face. The damage is relatively high (58) vs other pistol rounds with similar penetration. If you land most of the shots in a 30-rounder you can actually leg tagilla with this round in a single mag. Don't ask me how I know lol.https://streamable.com/cgx06e
>>584129396This is a bizarre kit. Are there even plates in that?
>>584129396based kedr enjoyer.
>>584135438Yeah, just crummy lvl4 ones. You can get zabs for free on reserve.>>584135930erm ACKSHUALLY ITS A KLIN, VERY DIFFERENT
Everyone please post your PC build. I'm thinking of buying EFT but worried my PC won't run it,, if you have a 4+ years old PC please post your specs and how well the game is running for you
>>584136843I'm still mad they haven't add the PMM despite having added the 9x18mm PMM cartridge that can only be used by the Klin, the ammo was literally created for this pistol.
>>584137623PMM truly does look sleek as fuck. Yeah the 9x18mm caliber needs more love in general. I don't know a huge amount about guns but I'm CERTAIN that there are many more variants that we're missing. Didn't all the balkan states end up making their own niche variants of SMGs and Makarovs based on the soviet designs? Would make sense to have all those in the game.
>>584138389>>584137623We're not allowed to get any "low tier" guns anymore.
>>584138831Yep, gay. Everything has to be some meta-bait unlocked on arena and/or battlepass to get sweatlords to fomo.
>>584129396I'm putting off booting up the game and entering Customs because I'm too scared
Yay.
>>584143090neat, wut now?
>>584144025I guess I'll hopefully wrap up the league in the next two weeks and then I'll just play perma PVP until next season, unless they do some cool seasonal exclusive event.
Guns to add to make Tarkov a really cool game:>Bizon>PMM>PPS-43>M249>Honey Badger>Colt New Service in .45 and .357

Do you have to be part of the stupid sign-up program to get the twitch drops?
I was below 25th place... by 150 points...
>>584111597>why do people play the most popular game modeare you retarded?
>>584111597I don't know. I bought PvE when I was an ultratimmy because I thought it would help me learn the maps or whatever. It was just so incredibly fucking dull knowing I was never going to run into an altyn wearing gigachad. Just legions upon legions of shitty PMCbots. I don't get how people can stomach it
>>584163654Wow anon you're soooooo cool!
>>584163712It's not about being cool, it's about preserving the tension of the game

why hello therepretty sure this was the 3rd of a trio of which the first two I killed like 5 minutes prior near Idea pc blocks. he was waiting for me at the playground, after whiffing a few shots he ran to the metal stairs and went to the parking lot. I thought he'd flank from pharmacy and ran there, didn't see him so thought he just fucked off, but turns out he came up from those other stairs and waited for mesmart maneuvers from him to be fair
>>584151091>anon>he's a tripfagRetard.>PKPTS blowsDouble retard.
Dead ahh thread
Icebreaker is still just so good man, even with the nerfs
Nice, managed to get the only thing I was interested in. I'll still try to get max rank but now it's whatever. I'll see how bad it is if I play my first raid late on Sunday before the reset.
>>584119641yea don't you have to run indoors asap on shoreline, if they're at smugglers you can play at whatever hardcover or building you have, if they're by the powerplant, you aggro them to the bussy depot and hunker down on the convenience store thingy and kill them as they go inside. Fighting them in the open like on woods, is a recipe for disaster 90% of the time unless you get a drop on them or is far enough away for them to not insta fuck you and have to walk up to insta fuck distance.
>>584175797what fucking nerfs, it literally was buffed a week or so ago prior to the Smoke changes

>>584196071Have you ever used the EYE compass special item before? How many times have you seen a new player use the EYE compass special item before?
>>584197849Bold of you to assume the average player is capable of reading the compass.Also, last I checked it doesn't show you the way to your extract.Also also, isn't it bugged half the time?ALSO also also, Nikita said under the tweet that it's gonna be a special item like the compass anyway
>>584196071
I hate how restrictive tarkov inventory isWhat do you mean I just managed to beat a trio as a solo and all I can loot is half of one guy's kit.
>>584201035shut up tigz
>>584201035>hurrr why can't I take 3 full plate carriers and all their pouches + 3 full-length rifles + their bags in a game that is plausibly realistic this is unfairrrr
>>584201753>Plausibly realistic>every single boss except one can tank half of the high tier bullets to the head and survive>no guys the high tier armor piercing round would just pass through his forehead because it was only designed to pierce armor
>>584201997>X is retarded and stupid >therefore Y should be retarded and stupid tooNigger tier way of thinking.
damn a simple scav load on street / gz takes 10mins on west and central eu servers what the fuck is going on with PVP S. So fucking dead.
>>584202195>wanting the game to be consistent in a way that benefits the player instead of punishes themYou're just not very smart, and I understand. Things that are stupid or stretch reality should be done to the player's benefit, not detriment. If anything, I'd say severely up inventory space or even let us 'mark' corpses to be reclaimed later by Prapor, BTR Driver, or Jaeger so that if anything is left on them, it's brought to you later. All boss health should be reduced to normal human health as well.
>>584202762>All boss health should be reduced to normal human health as wellThe only objectively correct thing in your post.
I just died to Desmond. It's genuinely insane to me that I feel like a nolifer with 8k hours and yet there are people with 10k more than me who just have insane game knowledge and aimHe's a whingy cunt, but he IS good
>>584202816Niggers like Kaban having 300 thorax health needs to end, or Tagilla having 100 head health so even if you have high quality bullets he can just ignore you. Shit's gay as fuck.I support giving bosses better gear because that then indirectly benefits the player by nature of killing them being more rewarding. Instead they get more health and shittier gear so babies don't get 1 decent item to have.
>>584203528there are levels to no lifing and people like desmond are basically playing a different game.
>>584203528are you one of the 3-4 guys near the extraction?
>>584203528Yeah I know what you mean, I have 9.5k hours myself (though I know for a fact majority of that must be idled from having the game open in the background when not playing a lot of the time), but I just chill and enjoy the game, I can't imagine myself ever becoming like those soulless sweaty husks. There's this one streamer guy, I don't watch him or anything, but he does pop up on my twitter feed every once in a while. Runs nothing but an URGI M4 and posts cool looking aesthetic loadouts, still absolutely cracked at the game from the little bits of gameplay I've seen with a ton of hours, 10k+ I think. I have respect for guys like that, unlike those cookie cutter tracksuit + CQCM + latest metaslop laser NPCs.
>>584205452Mr.bubbly is based
>>584205584Ah yes, that guy. His name was escaping me.
>>584202762>Things that are stupid or stretch reality should be done to the player's benefit, not detriment.Oh, that's a hard, objective rule of goodgamedesign, is it? You put your goodgamedesign-o-meter up to Escape From Tarkov and it read that every unrealistic aspect of the game which makes it more difficult is badgamedesign? What other stunning insights about videogames did you learn from Youtube university
>>584205776This is explicitly about Tarkov because it seeks out a 'hardcore realism' element in all things. If we're stretching reality, why would you do it to make things less real and less fun? My example of boss health is a good one because someone being able to tank a 7.62x39 bullet directly to the head is utterly retarded and anyone who COULD survive that would end up utterly retarded and a vegetable. Being able to carry a little extra weight isn't some reality warping nightmare it's being made out to be, but that's also why I suggested that the M62000 or whatever markers could be used to mark a corpse and anything left on it when the raid ends will be delivered to you by prapor the same way insurance would be in like 24 hours.
I'm starting to really hate the changes to the PMC ai gear. >less grenades (for them to use or for me to take)>more pistol mags despite them never using their pistols>guns are just as ugly as before>level seems completely irrelevant to gear despite that being the supposed change>finding level 60+ ai with PS gs, FMJ, or other shit rounds>never finding ice cream cones or high class armor anymore>slicks are now always class 4 or have a single class 5 plate>meds are now mostly used up Salewas (even off of spawn), used up Calok-Bs, and 1/3 Aluminum Splints>sometimes have MorphineThe morphine is cool, but everything else sucks. There's exceptions, but it's pretty rare. They said better stuff would be on labs, but in the same breath it was about more high level AI, so I figured that just meant more 60+ with their level of gear. the 60+ I usually find blow ass, and sometimes level 20-30 have that really good armor rig with the shoulder/neck protection and class 4 plates with the name that escapes me.
>>584206967>>finding level 60+ ai with PS gs, FMJ, or other shit roundsmaybe bsg looked at the data and saw plenty of guys like you running dogshit ammo despite being high level with huge stockpiles of better ammo
>>584207229I have severe doubts BSG looked at anything and Nikita just threw darts at a board, but if they did, that would explain the rare instance of PP gzh since I was using those before i reset!
Take the tree pill
>>584206967>nooo my free loot pinatas don't have top tier shit anymore :(
>>584208273>it's bad to want good thingsCringe!
>>583903532pmc ai should be the same as bd
>>584208273nta but PS rounds are among the bottom tier for 5.45x39. Expecting at least PP rounds on high level AI isn't really unreasonable. I'd probably do it like this:>level 1-25Mix of the bottom tier ammo, capping at PS. Always 20-30 round magazines.>level 26-45Mix of PS and PP. Always 30-45 round magazines with appropriate rigs or a single long mag and the rest as 30s. Exceptionally rare drum spawn.>45+PP, BT, and rarely BP/7N40. Exceptionally rare spawn PBBS and BS is fine. Almost always 20 round magazines with the occasional 30 rounds or 60 rounds. Ai upgraded to Raider level.
>>584206502That's a cool idea
>>584209284Thank you, it would necessitate an ability to either remove the marker or encourage checking bodies for stuff left behind to be recouped later. If I find 3 dead players and most of them still have their gear, it would be fair to assume they're marked. Or you could even put the marker on a special slot and if you remove it, the body is no longer marked.
>>584209659What if two players try to mark the same body?
>>584208472Partizan wants to know your locationteach me
>>584209871That's covered if you make the marker removable, or even 'hackable'. If someone spends 10 seconds putting a mark on a body, you can spend 10 seconds to 'adjust' the marked body and it becomes yours. No need to remove and then place a new marker.
BSG Won
>>584210978There's a new update today?
>>584211364No, I just came back and buying both passes
actually cool, now I can spend the millions that are just sitting there
>>584211589wonder if you can get the crate only once, I had it there in the beginning, but after that only tokens
>>584211489Oh, well I hope you enjoy the guns. The p90 is really shit and not better than a base one.
>>584211689are there any hidden one like with the past one? I unlocked the key rooms but I mean other token exchange ones
>>584210978>>584211489They're just cosmetics so I'm okay with BSG winning. I would NEVER buy stash lines, however (or roubles had I been a PVEfag)
>>584212096one on the last floor
>>584205452>>584205584I've liked some of this guys xeets as well, seems to be one of the rare English speaking Tarkov players who doesn't just seethe at everything
>>584212632How do you access it? Also, is yellow not supposed to spawn a keycard like other rooms?
>>584212885Pretty sure you have to get all rewards from tech floor, first level and then get to the 2nd floor and choose the top right guy first and unlock until the crate. Pretty sure yellow is just bugged now, but who knows.
>>584213094Nah, I mean how you had to click on specific spots like how you unlocked the hidden tagilla in the previous one
I think I'm gonna drop the game til next season now. Just cannot be fucked anymore. Anyone else?
I LOST
>>584213180Nothing like that apart from the keycard rooms afaik, you can interact with the gas cans, but outside of them exploding nothing happens
>claimed all of the last twitch drops>claimed 2 of the current ones>none have arrived even after restarting my gameI hate Nikita so fucking much. No other developer would ever get away with promotions not even working.
I'm once again asking for the Strelok armor from the Kalashnikov Concern, not only would it be nice to have another high end armor that cover everything, it would also be cool to have armor made by Kalashnikov.

What's the Hall of Fame for? Showing off all these fucking bronze lions i've found?
>>584219049Storage space. It's all storage space. Always has been.
>>584219098That's it? God fucking damn it. I thought it would do something cool. Wasted my materials I could've used upgrading something else.
>>584219406Well, it also has a function where putting opposite-faction dogtags into the dogtag bit increases your combat skill rate a bit, the higher their level the higher the percentage.
>>584219049Dogtags of players from your opposing faction provide a small combat skill levelling bonus when stored in the Hall of Fame based on how high their level on their tag is. It used to also have the requirement that you killed them yourself as PMC/Scav but now it doesn't have to be your kill.

>>584400867For me it's literally always playing with 150+ ping and then being astounded at how the game's actually supposed to work on the rare, rare occasion where I get a good ping for once
>>584401029It just fucking turns off the region setting every once in a while. I usually have good ping, but you don't know that it's done this until you join a game and get fucking lagged by South American niggers. I would never play this horrendous garbage if I didn't have good ping so the game at least somewhat works.
>>584401228It does that because it checks the server pings as the game starts but their infrastructure is total fucking shit and frequently times out so it just gives up and goes back to auto. I get it literally every time because I get significantly better pings when using a VPN (routing issue I guess) but most of their ping-check servers time out when I have the VPN activated (probably rate limited IP).

>need 1(ONE) fucking round winI mean really what else can I possibly fucking do? I can't ace every round. I won them three rounds with the M700 and they can't pull their own weight and help?
god damn alright i guess interchange does have good loot sometimes
>>584405230>forced to play an entire game because of one fucking round>it's a 3v5>win the single round i need at the startIf this had been a shutout I would've written Nikita an email filled with the most heinous shit I could possibly think of. Next time I'll spend 2 million rubles instead of 1 rerolling dailies. Teamfight isn't usually THIS bad. Usually I get at least a single teammate at least going positive. >>584405636Kill yourself
>>584406148You should take a break from video games. You're clearly not enjoying yourself.
>>584406704I'm done, thankfully, and I'll be avoiding this piece of shit for at least a couple days because I have zero interest in playing it right now. I'll just go back to rerolling everything to LH even though it's not fun either. Nikita is a fucking cocksucker for putting so much behind arena.
At least I got a funny little clip. I died the millisecond after the clip ends from fuck knows where.
>>584363206PvE only dumbassi dont know why they are giving pve good drops desu
>>584407749>PvE only dumbassOkay? My point still stands.
>>584405636wtf is a pda? i've never seen that before
>>584411782lets you hack keycard doors and triangulate caches
>>584411782Of course you haven't, it's the tranny fake game, not real Tarkov.
raid's lookin lush lads
>>584416573Please put a trip already.
Interchang giving me dividendsFinally can craft cheap Labs cards again to look for the ACC (gave all my RFID to Peacekeeper for league XP), I finally got the shit to build my scav case so I'm probably going to go half and half and hope I get some good keys from the case as wellI wish I had more time left in the season to enjoy hardcore. I'm probably not going to do it again next season but we'll see what happens when they show off new modifiers
>>584417797One thing I know for sure is next season (if I bother with it) I'm NOT vibe picking modifiers. I'm minmaxing that shit and absolutely not losing my secure container.
BACK END FUCKY
Holy shit, do these fucks just roam around killing people? My bad for thinking they only moved around a certain area like bosses.I thought it was a group of pmcs fighting since I kept hearing the sniper in the train area going off a little back before this.https://femboy.beauty/nSehD3.webm

What the fuck happened? Why do I have several pages of items being sent to me by Prapor?
>>584427060it wasn't always like this? Hes been burying me in gear crates since I've gootten the game a week ago. I suppose its something to lube latejoiners up during the mandatory beginner chad rape so player retention is increased
I might suck donkey balls but they're worsehttps://upload.lurkmore.com/z/DzMBNBZw.webm
>>584427564>mandatory beginner chad rapelol at pvpiggerslmao at pvpiggersROFL at pvpiggers
>>584427060>>584427564thats the welfare crates. they added them like 6 years ago when wipes were still a thing. you get one a day for 7 days if your stash is mostly empty.
>>584428719I'd rather lose to a 1000 chads than become a pve sissy.
>>584429024>I can now NEET in Tarkov as I do in real lifeSweet. Does Prapor ever start hassling me to get a job?
he didnt see it coming
>>584431813Pretty sure he did, it's a PVE bot that knows you're there
>>584431813thres a PvE indicator in your bottom left you cockmongling retard larper
>>584433278but he didnt see me because he entered the room looking for swordbro. if theyre looking for me it usually goes like this>>584434002???
>>584434229surely no one would brag about killing a braindead bot. Surely no one can be that retarded
>>584434659but it was a raider those guys are scawwy
>>584434229>swordbro actually wears that retarded backpackha
>>584434229What the fuck are you retards running to? Does a car battery spawn in that area or some shit?
>>584435156Out of all actually retarded things he does, you nitpick on him bringing the biggest backpack in the game? How the fuck is that retarded?
>>584436501>reset and now have low str/end>carry a backpack that innately makes you heavyyeah, it's stupid as fuck.
>>584437049He is on fucking pve, none of that fucking matters
>>584430396Slaves hate watching a man not joining them in skier's sweat shop.
Stop giving the tranny and the 400 pound retarded faggot attention. If you ignore them they'll go away.
>>584440253no we won't
>>584440253that didnt work for the sptfag
>>584440253i for one am never leaving~
