Escape From Tarkov

[serene crescent]

PVE has very high boss spawns it seems. I'm 20 raids or so in and hear them all the time. Even killed the goons on customs.

[elder copper]

@serene crescent @ember ingot im on now

https://discord.com/channels/109869242148491264/927608182308761650 tarkin time

[warm geode]

You playing SPTarkov co-op? I have some mods installed but never configs minus a medical system overhaul

[hollow hill]

yep, I host a fika server on my box with a buddy of mine. I'm actually playing PVE right now in live. Level 3.

[serene crescent]

I'm in recon training and then i'll play.

[serene crescent]

I juste want to do postman pat and i keep getting pushed by 5 mans

[ember ingot]

@serene crescent @elder copper y'all around?

[serene crescent]

only half here right now until family goes out for a bit.

[hollow hill]

just wanna say thank you tot he AI PMC that gifted me this HK..been running the shit out of it ever since

[serene crescent]

Why in the world is dorms marked 18m. I should have sold it lol

Guess for high labs card chance. I got 2 blacks in 8 uses, but those sell for base 1.5m

Prob made 7mil in 8 uses total.

2 left

[hollow hill]

my duo partner just got off for a bit. I'll be running some more raids for a bit longer if anyone is interested. Just hit level 12 still looking for a damn iskra, flash drives, and gas analyzers

[deft tundra]

I’ll be on in a bit for an hr or 2. Have to knock out my starting ground zero quests

[ember ingot]

@hollow hill @serene crescent Yall on?

[serene crescent]

Prepping for a 50v50 HLL comp match, ill be on late.

[ember ingot]

@serene crescent @hollow hill @elder copper anyone around>

@deft tundra

[ember ingot]

@pseudo mortar

[serene crescent]

I won't be on until tonight

[ember ingot]

I'll be on tomorrow

[marble pilot]

yall doing PVP or trying the new PVE mode? Given my limited time to play I have been enjoying PVE couple hours every night and I'm already up there

[warm geode]

They are doing PVE

[serene crescent]

PVE every night, playing right now

[warm geode]

Tried jumping back into SPTarkov today on a scav run, man wtf is all i gotta say. Think one of my mods fucks up the ballistics or something because i was hitting an AI but the death screen showed no hits

[hollow hill]

lvl 19 in 40 raids..not too shabby.

[uneven python]

looking to get back into the game probably if anyone is ever down to play

[serene crescent]

If its PVE there are a lot of us playing. I'll go back to PVP on wipe next month.

I play almost every night

[uneven python]

i dont know how to play pve

[serene crescent]

If you have the base game its 10$ on the website or its free with EOD expansion or Unheard edition.

It's the full game w/ quests and the flea market, but against AI PMCs

[uneven python]

and is multiplayer??

[serene crescent]

with anyone else that also has PVE

[uneven python]

a ok

[serene crescent]

I think there are about 6-7 of us right now that play it.

Great practice before wipe which is usually early July

and I don't think it wipes/resets like PVP so you can always go back to it.

[uneven python]

a ok

ok done

are you on a chanel?

[serene crescent]

I'm at work

[uneven python]

a ok

[serene crescent]

I'm not on until late, but a few guys here are always looking for people to play with around this time.

[uneven python]

do you now the names?

[serene crescent]

@ember ingot @deft tundra @elder copper are the most active.

[uneven python]

ok

[elder copper]

I do play almost every night

[uneven python]

but wath time zone?

[elder copper]

Eastern us

[serene crescent]

Same

[uneven python]

so in about 3 hours?

aprox

[elder copper]

I’m usually one from 2100z-0200z like every night

[uneven python]

a ok ok thankx for the z

[ember ingot]

Hi

I'm hitting woods at level 17

☠️

[serene crescent]

I play 23:59z-0400

[ember ingot]

It took FOREVER to find fucking noodles lol

[uneven python]

wow to late xd

[serene crescent]

I got my noodles on the goshan shelves

[elder copper]

Real

[serene crescent]

rare, but usually one or 2

[ember ingot]

I found mine on a scav run after killing a PMC wearing a zhoko with a fucking Toz XD

I actually found 2 iskras in one raid a goshin

[elder copper]

I’ll have to show gann my scav relax run on streets

[ember ingot]

I'll be home between 4 and 530

Then I'm free after that

I've also gotten a majority of my hideout stuff between tezhen, techlight, and rasmussin

[azure vortex]

apparently the servers are being shit right now

can't update and multiple others are reporting getting errors too

f

[uneven python]

yes me to

in instaling it

and keps crashing

[azure vortex]

just going to have to wait for the servers to stop shitting the bed

[deft tundra]

i am around, i exist

[uneven python]

?

[deft tundra]

I played on and off some this morning in my last five raids trying to do the last round zero quests every single time I spawned in I had all of the PMC‘s around me, and it turned into a very short and brutal flight that I lost every time

[ember ingot]

Jesus

I'll be home in about an hour. Hopefully this doesn't happen to me

[deft tundra]

It’s been rough. All my good guns and rigs are in insurance limbo.

I have to do some cheap runs for a while, my first few runs this morning and all my runs last night. I was stacking bodies with the MP5 , getting 12 to 15 scab at PMC kills per raid. I had a couple hundred meter head shots with the MP 5 and earlier today for fun, I got a 60 m headshot with a tokarev

[ember ingot]

Jesus

I need mosin man kills on woods

So I'm running gsshs and a mosin lol

That's it

[deft tundra]

I still have to get the drive for mechanic on Ground Zero because I’ve died every time I got it, I have to get the bottle of wine in the wine store as well

I’ve gotten both things multiple times, but got killed on the way out

[warm geode]

ETA: never

[hollow hill]

They're back up now

[serene crescent]

Warren lets PVE sometime! Where you hiding at!

[hollow hill]

I usually just play with my duo partner but I'm down to run some whenever we're on at the same time.

im in bed these days rather early during the week though, like 10ish

[serene crescent]

Tonight im spottish, but rest of the week im on 6-12

[hollow hill]

I only just started playing PVE, before I just hosted a Fika server.

[serene crescent]

Never tried fika, just the PVE. I just started Interchange/Shoreline

I think im 24

[hollow hill]

nice. Im right behind you

I need to finish chemical part 4

and some woods stasks

[serene crescent]

got my setup stuff back lol

died twice getting my 15

[hollow hill]

what ammo did you use?

[serene crescent]

I bough the 50 bmg

hits long range well

breaks the shit out of the weapon

[hollow hill]

think I'mg onna rock with some piranha

the shotgun build on arena goes in

[serene crescent]

piranha is great until it turns to dust lol

[hollow hill]

pretty much what you have there but with a choke instead of the salvo

[deft tundra]

I’ll be home and on in an hr or so

[warm geode]

Maybe ill buy PVE lol

[serene crescent]

I just got on

It's worth it Damico, this is mostly a refresher for me while I wait for wipe. But rumor's are that PVE won't wipe so you can always progress on it.

[deft tundra]

went in with a tt and 3 mags

[hollow hill]

i'm hopping on now for a bit

[deft tundra]

im in voice 1

[warm geode]

Might look at buying it tomorrow or so. Not sure if Nikita is gonna push any sales out soon with wipe and summertime

could do my final upgrade to EOD depending

[serene crescent]

2 more deaths tonight. Rashala guards and Killa

[serene crescent]

What is with these boss spawns. I tried interchange again this morning and the second i walk into the mall there is killa destroying me. I take note of his position and go elsewhere. He kills me anyway 20 min later on the other side of the mall.

[azure vortex]

it won't, only way wipe happens is if you do a PVE profile specific reset which they're still implementing

[bold sparrow]

I’ve hit bosses most raids, it’s kind of fun except when I’m really trying to get things done

[serene crescent]

Killa is just a pain because he can be anywhere and I have shit ammo

[elder copper]

Yea I was doing silent caliber on interchange and every time killa saw I was a dead man.

[deft tundra]

i had a few decent raid this am but my space ak74 is laying in a street somewhere lol

[elder copper]

Happens to the best, I die more at 53 now than I did at 15

[warm geode]

So EOD is gone, guess they decided to roll with Unheard edition as their final upgrade. Kinda BS but $10 for pve mode is fine i guess

Their pricing model is dumb shit

[deft tundra]

that 10 dollar coop doesnt unlock pve

rossi tried it

i dont think the pve is on the site yet, at least i didnt see it

[serene crescent]

Yeah so I guess it’s 250$ to play pve, but it will be free when the game fully releases

[elder copper]

Childs is right the $10 coop is practice mode coop. To get the pve mode you need the unheard edition or EOD right now.

[warm geode]

Lmao. $140 to upgrade to Unheard. EOD is basically gone now from what i see

BSG really fucking themselves over for non-EOD peeps

[elder copper]

They advertised the removal of eod for literal months with a literal countdown the only person who got fucked was you.

Not to mention the game went on many sales during the Farewell to EOD.

[serene crescent]

I got eod like 5 years ago so paying another 100 after thousands of hours of game time was a no brained for me.

[warm geode]

I dont pay attention to enough to BSG since the prices have always been crazy. Im not so mad about EOD about being gone, just the whole PVE thing

Originally i didnt care about Unheard until i saw the stuff it came with

[elder copper]

Nobody saw pve coming to tarkov so still honestly I don’t feel like we can hold bsg to the idea of “it should be a standard feature” argument. Especially after EOD users got access to arena for free, when it was not truely entitled to them.

[warm geode]

Well yea, im sure most people didnt expect a “PVE” mode of Tarkov considering how the game plays. Im surprised at them releasing it

The way they went about handling it was kind of a bust

[deft tundra]

They said they will open pve to others when servers are up to par. Guess they haven’t gotten there yet

[warm geode]

which will be nice, just knowing BSG and their servers, who knows when lol

[elder copper]

Exactly they should have stood their ground.

I believe eod should not have gotten arena neither.

[warm geode]

This is just my opinion view, releasing PVE mode that run on the same servers/load as PVP and not having the capacity is just like, why lol

and im sure they got pressured from SPTarkov

[elder copper]

I mean they tried to keep it less impactful on the larger community.

Truly the problem is not with bsg or their business ideas but more so the communication to the customer. There is a clear problem with how they conceptualize an idea and how they then communicate it to the end user, would pve mode have come to all at the end of the day if the backlash was so harsh or would it have remained an exclusive feature. No one knows. But now both sides of the community (pvp/pve) wise suffer longer queue times because they made less money on a potential sales point having to provide more users with solo servers. So really who shot who in the foot.

Also now tarkov is at another hemorrhage point fiscally cause now they have to spend more money to quickly fix something by adding more servers to their network for the balloon of player base to shrink now due to the backlash and to loss of confidence. So they might have continued to expand their servers only for them in the long run become empty.

Now I could be completely wrong, and probably am but I still don’t feel the consumer really should have such a driving force in the creative space. Because ultimately wallets are the best driving force for creating great products.

[warm geode]

I dont disagree. I owned Tarkov for a long time, played on and off a lot, and have my own grudges against the game (partly i suck but also so many bugs and whatnot). I feel like BSG or Nikita don't handle community very well, and the community backlash is not that great either

At the end of the day, long as people are spending their wallets to uphold the game, BSG will keep at it

[serene crescent]

Jumping in for a few matches before TNT

[serene crescent]

PVE is unplayable. 100% boss chance

crap ammo

Ive died to bosses in 9 of 10 matches

on 5 maps

[warm geode]

Damn. Does wipe Event share on PVE?

[serene crescent]

No

Its supposed to be 40% boss chance, but I can't survive any matches today. 100% of my deaths are from bosses in PVE.

I did a couple streets today as well. 100% boss in lexos, killed him twice just to get a quest done

Did a couple shoreline. Died and killed the boss at cottage

[warm geode]

Debating either playing PVP or SPtarkov right now

[serene crescent]

killa killed me 5 of 5 interchange matches today

[warm geode]

Kind of hate playing solo. But i gotta reinstall my mods and game version

[serene crescent]

litterally runs after me no matter where i spawn

I got 60 rounds into him 5 min ago. Still killed me

[warm geode]

Goddayum

[serene crescent]

from 3 feet away

Why is killa even in tech light. Litterally looting a shelf and he comes sprinting after me

[warm geode]

Lmao Killa looting tetriz

Thats weird though

[serene crescent]

earlier he shot me while i was going up steps from outside into idea. Couldn't see him because of the glass around the stairs. I ran out the doors and he reset, i went to. 20 min later he kills me in kiba. The guy just wonders now

[deft tundra]

ive had some heavy PMC instances but havet had a boss on every run yet

[ember ingot]

@serene crescent @deft tundra @elder copper Anyone around tonight>

?*

[serene crescent]

not in the mood, killa killed me 2 more matches in a row

im done with pve if this is how boss spawns are going to be

Each time he just rushes. Never saw the guy, never aggrod him. He just rushes me

[deft tundra]

ill be on in like 15min @ember ingot

[ember ingot]

@hollow hill You around?

[ember ingot]

@cloud bolt @pseudo mortar @deft tundra I'll be on around 1530 est for some raids

We gonna hit some me resorts my dudes

I'll bring my W 301 key 😉

[deft tundra]

i have to do stuff all afternoon and wont be on til later tonight

[ember ingot]

I will not be on until most likely Monday after today

[marble pilot]

@serene crescent they are usually just an inconvenience in resort and I wouldn’t recommend going without at least pen level 4 or similar ammo. However I was able to finish the quest to kill them all in resort mostly just by checking outside the buildings from the rocks and never peaking the same spot twice. Also getting inside way easier killing from second floor.

Anyone running labs in PVE ? Never have been there and I feel that’s a good place to start to learn it properly would love a guide if possible tho hehe

[warm geode]

I dont think his issue is hunting them down exactly, just that bosses immediately start hunting him down in every raid

even in SPTarkov, i feel like one of my mods is screwing with my basic skillset

[serene crescent]

All bosses are easy other than Killa. Any ammo can kill Sani and his guards they don't have face covers.

[marble pilot]

Only had this happen in shoreline for sure due to the event when getting closer to the resort area so that’s weird heheh

[ember ingot]

@obtuse oar @hollow hill @pseudo mortar @deft tundra @cloud bolt @elder copper I'll be around like 1530 EST

Have almost every map

[obtuse oar]

Sharp said he'll be here around 1p EST

[cloud bolt]

I'm sorry, don't mean to be a bother here, but... I don't own EFT... 😉

[serene crescent]

It's only 250$

jump on in

Gann prob meant to tag me and his mind went right to Maines instead.

I'll be on a little bit this afternoon, but mostly after 6pm

[ember ingot]

Ya, my bad

[cloud bolt]

No worries! I've heard the game is fun, just don't have it on my radar of games to get atm

[serene crescent]

Popping on for the next hour or 2

[deft tundra]

I’ve been flying all day, didn’t get in til just now and I’m beat. Maybe on later

[ember ingot]

@obtuse oar @deft tundra @pseudo mortar Yall around?

[serene crescent]

I’ll be back around 6

[deft tundra]

I won’t be around til later

[hollow hill]

Just got off myself

[obtuse oar]

I am now

[deft tundra]

invite me

[serene crescent]

Got about 3 hours worth of matches in me before my 24 hour HLL Op

[cloud bolt]

@rotund pollen

[rotund pollen]

wordddddd

[ember ingot]

@pseudo mortar @serene crescent @deft tundra @obtuse oar anyone down to clonw?

[warm geode]

Im down to clown if anyone wants to paly PVP lol

[serene crescent]

I'm around all day for matches

[serene crescent]

I didn't see a patch, but scavs are bonkers right now. They go everywhere and are beaming.

Just did a shoreline, watched one walk off the island across the boat. I went down the street towards pier and got attacked by scavs on the rocks. Watched one walk up the rocks near west resort.

[deft tundra]

wtf

[bold sparrow]

I see them travel quite a bit, especially if they are aggroed. I don’t really mind it, keeps the game interesting since I have to keep paying attention. The only issue I have is getting swarmed in one area by like 20 scavs because they kept running in

[serene crescent]

They definitely spawn in when you fire your weapon. Anytime i take out rashala in dorms, a dozen will appear and walk up the stairs.

[ember ingot]

@serene crescent @pseudo mortar Yall in for some raids?

[sacred coral]

i just bought it

im so lost haha

[warm geode]

welcome to Tarkov

no tutorial, steep learning curve, and everything is out to kill you and hate you

If anyone is down for "Live" Tarkov, let me know. Idk when wipe/patch is incoming

[deft tundra]

That was a fucking fight earlier. Sucks Daniel made it 2/3 the way out but we stacked bodies. I got 9 including 2 raiders

[deft tundra]

Real type 3 fun

[sacred coral]

thx a lot bro

if anyone ever had the time to do some runs and wanted a newbie to tag along im all for it

[ember ingot]

@obtuse oar @deft tundra @pseudo mortar y'all around?

[deft tundra]

yar

[ember ingot]

I'll be on for one-two raids in like 10 minutes

[deft tundra]

ok

[ember ingot]

@deft tundra make that 30-45, then I'll be on for the night

Sorry, plans changed with the wifey

[deft tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-waiting-patiently-waiting-for-you-waiting-on-you-gif-15489516379864441176

me waiting for wipe to play PVP with someone

[ember ingot]

@bleak moth

@deft tundra hopping on now

@obtuse oar

@serene crescent

[serene crescent]

Can't wait for wipe. PVE is garbage. Tired of killing 30 guys on streets to get one quest done

then a PMC will one shot thru a slick with 56A1

[obtuse oar]

Rather deal with that then speed hackers.

[warm geode]

i dont think i ever encountered any speed hackers before. Maybe 1-2 times but that was probably quite some time ago

[ember ingot]

Facts

[obtuse oar]

ive seen at least 10 in the last 2 wipes, my boy has recordings

[warm geode]

in my personal cases of playing Live Tarkov, i never seen blatant cheaters but there have been some sus deaths

ill still play either way

[hollow hill]

I'd love to fight a PMC with 56A1. Seems like every PMC i run into is running shit gear. Made the fights super boring.

[serene crescent]

There are no fights. Either you see them first or your dead at my lvl. I running around with a flir just to not die to them shooting thru bushes. Still getting one tapped.

I shot a kaban sniper from cinema and lexos emptied all charging at me. Scavs spawned in masses around me and I just give up. All working together to kill me

[deft tundra]

damn yall are busy in there, im home with my kid thats not feeling great some not getting on right now

[ember ingot]

@hollow hill @obtuse oar @pseudo mortar @elder copper @bleak moth I'll be on in 15

[ember ingot]

@deft tundra

[sacred coral]

which channel yall go to

[deft tundra]

See above gann

[warm geode]

if anyone ever wants a buddy in PVP, ping me

[marble pilot]

This applies now for PVP as well, armor is not what it used to (much more real IMO) plus being a slick probably got you in the side which you had zero protection 😄

[marble pilot]

To be honest this is exactly what I signed up when I bought Tarkov long ago.. as they were advertising it as the "Dark Souls" of FPS.. and loving super hard games thats exactly what I wanted, a shooter that punishes you without regret.. so PVE is a step towards what I always wanted I guess? haha

[serene crescent]

Getting shot thru 5 layers of bushes that you cant see isn't the same.

[ember ingot]

@pseudo mortar @deft tundra @obtuse oar I'll be on in like 30-45

[deft tundra]

wont be on til later, going to pick kid up from camp in a bit

[fathom adder]

https://youtu.be/3qF7K-5kJAQ?si=tomMA_8rhngWJCm_

insane lmao

[elder copper]

Honestly I feel like bsg has really turned the page with communication lately. Constant tech updates, good comms on changes to the roadmap.

[azure vortex]

almost getting cancelled by your community will do that

the question is if that’s a temporary or permanent behavior change

[elder copper]

I’m hoping permanent but I fully anticipate the game to be on the market for a new owner after “release”.

Also factory is getting bigger

[warm geode]

Games... games never change

Honestly, it might seem permanent now but im sure they will slowly start to revert back

[ember ingot]

I'm getting on now

[ember ingot]

@deft tundra @obtuse oar @elder copper Tarkov?

[ember ingot]

@bleak moth

You around?

[deft tundra]

i just got in froma bahamas run, idk if im going to get on today

[ember ingot]

All good boss

@elder copper You back?

[plucky cargo]

Don't worry in 8 years when 1.0 releases, Nikita will forget what he promised again and release a 500$ launch version

[azure vortex]

nah in 8 years we'll be in the "testing phase" of russia 2028

[ember ingot]

@deft tundra @pseudo mortar @elder copper @obtuse oar @bleak moth anyone around?

[warm geode]

If i have PVE i would be

[azure vortex]

should be available to purchase in a couple weeks

[deft tundra]

PVE should be available to buy in july

a patchnot got posted yesterday saying update this week, after 1-2 weeks satable PVE package would be available to all

[ember ingot]

@obtuse oar @elder copper @bleak moth @serene crescent @deft tundra Im around

[plucky cargo]

If anyone under lvl 20 is available I need some help with the goddamn ground zero quests. The stupid fucking mole mission and the two static guns.
Every fucking time I'm on my way out of Terragroup Labs I get ganked by a group of 3 or 4 PMCs

[warm geode]

Damn dat crazy

[plucky cargo]

https://i.gyazo.com/6ce2abcb5fb4904a2120a3abf6df221a.png

legendary scav spawn

[low adder]

keep that keycard, you need 2 fir

[bleak moth]

i mean, im not a lvl 20, am level 42. but can definitely run you through no problem lol.

[plucky cargo]

Got the mechanic one done just need to eventually do prapor's shooting cans
Idk if I need to survive that raid tho

[serene crescent]

That was probabily the hardest part of PVE. Once you get passed those missions and get to go to customs/woods everything becomes easy again lol...

[elder copper]

I agree for whatever reason ground zero feels the hardest for what it is

[warm geode]

It oddly feels like it offers a variety of combat zones: close-quarters, sniping, mid-field. But still feels very congested and bottle-necked

[elder copper]

agreed

[warm geode]

I saved a clip I think of playing SPTarkov with a couple mods installed, I went to the MG or GL that you have to jump the barbwire stairs to get. Wasnt sure how AI PMC would manuever this

1 came up, killed him. His buddy started to come up and I waited, then tried to bait him but he jump-shot me through the doorway... i was shocked lol

[elder copper]

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1557116752

Best app for tarkov honestly.

[hollow hill]

I'll be around if anyoen needs a body to run quests.

[deft tundra]

ok, update made maps harder, ive run into PMC outside of interchange, killed a bear on the oli loading docks, and i had a big pmc group run into me at power next raid, chasing me from there down the side to emercon extract in a 10min rolling gunfight where i had an svt and 3 mags, i got out but barely

pmc can be anywhere now looting

[azure vortex]

any fps drops for you?

i heard the AI mobs people now plus raid times still haven’t been put back to normal allegedly

[deft tundra]

i had a 40min interchange raid timer

fps was ok, but the fucking mobs are real

[warm geode]

i feel like in SPTarkov, any AI is immediately locked onto you. I tried to sneak on a hill to peak lumbermill once and an AI PMC literally locked onto me even though I wasnt in his LoS

thats my only worry about PVE/AI PMCs for the most part, they dont get tunnel-vision like real players

and will just hunt you down until you extract or something

[elder copper]

Pre 14.9.5 the ai pmc were pretty dumb. I haven’t played todays patch yet

[deft tundra]

Idk if they are better but they are more committed

[deft tundra]

I was not enjoying the new patch last night, sending every single enemy on the map against you Allied is fucking brutal

[serene crescent]

I stopped playing because it became a combat simulator. Which is great if you need to warm up for PVP, but for questing and looting...There just isn't any time. Every time I try to loot a body I hear another. Every time I loot a building I think, shit how much time is left because im going to have to kill 12 more to leave.

I die all the time and I still have a 50kd

[azure vortex]

reset my profile yesterday since i’m
back in the swing and wanted to see how fast i could level in a couple hours. i definitely think there could be some tweaking to the AI wanting to aggro, but i think it is important that they continue to move around because trying to get those kills in specific areas of the maps has been a pain sometimes

[stable merlin]

I'm downloading this if people are going to play with me.

wipe should be soon eh?

[deft tundra]

Pve doesn’t wipe

[stable merlin]

Ohh ok

[deft tundra]

youll have no shortage of people that will help you with quests though

[warm geode]

I will when PVE mode sells

[plucky cargo]

Bro is 3 levels lower than me and is more dripped out than me make it make sense

[warm geode]

Uhhhh… Tarkov

[azure vortex]

just kill the goons and you’ll be set

[elder copper]

The goons are the drippiest bosses.

[bold sparrow]

Couple of woods runs and you’ll be dripped out.

Me and a buddy just killed 2 scavs in the fob at woods. Then proceeded to be mobbed by 10 PMCs. The new ai is wild

[deft tundra]

It’s fucking overkill

[bold sparrow]

kinda, its like they flipped a switch. it was ind of a pain but in that instance we didnt have to worry about pmcs again

[obtuse oar]

between 5am EST and 7pm EST monday-friday I'm at the gym, then work, then gym again. I'll be on again over the weekend.

[ember ingot]

@raven halo @sullen cosmos @stuck heath @deft tundra @elder copper @low adder Anyone down to clown?

[stuck heath]

You had me at clown

Getting money would be good, do a shine run?

[ember ingot]

We certainly can

I'll be there in 10-15

[deft tundra]

yea prob in a few

[sullen cosmos]

I’m down for a goon sesh

[deft tundra]

i was just flipping through bosses, didnt realize that the goons are heavily insinuated to be SEALs

[azure vortex]

really? lol

they're like every NSW stereotype morphed into one

[deft tundra]

pipe has bone frog tattoos

[azure vortex]

except birdeye is british i believe

[deft tundra]

i never realized it lol

idk why lol, i never realized it

[warm geode]

i mean, i know they hinted that the Goons are ex US paramilitary?

never realized SEALs

[azure vortex]

the presence of AOR2 on them made me immediately vomit, because only navy goobers gaslight themselves enough to believe it's a good pattern kek

[warm geode]

think the only time I encountered them is on Lighthouse in the warehouse area. Think Argentini or someone else I ran with was hunting them and goddamn.. i dared not to stick my head out lol

[deft tundra]

ive killed them a couple times with a group

[warm geode]

havent played live/pvp since maybe Jan or Feb. Got my headset fixed now so been kind of itching to get back into it

debating on getting that daily salt intake

[azure vortex]

why would you do such a thing

[warm geode]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-what-im-craving-for-gif-23453831

[azure vortex]

pve is easy but SPT with the baseline mods is significantly more challenging over pve but without the hackers lmao

[warm geode]

i would like to do a reinstall of my base SPT and mods

[azure vortex]

3.9 just dropped and realism mod has a new update coming if it didn't hit yet

[warm geode]

since AI PMC just auto-lock onto me the moment i try aiming at them

and i think it fucked with some ballistics

so i dun goofed

[azure vortex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFXsweBeXcg

[warm geode]

Like that they implemented the radiation/biohazard(?) components in that mod

[sullen cosmos]

Goon sesh?

[azure vortex]

yep

promasks and geiger counter and the meds with anti rad properties actually work

[warm geode]

Well the fact Tarkov has them in the game but hasnt done anything with them yet

Nice that the modders could utilize it

Maybe Nikita will be inspired… hah

[plucky cargo]

True
Real door kickers know AOR1 is the answer 😎

SPT just dropped 3.9.0 and I'm too lazy to downgrade to 3.8.3 to play SPT Realism lol
Just waiting on it and SVM to update

[plucky cargo]

(I prefer AOR2 over AOR1 and MARPAT WD)

[ember ingot]

@sullen cosmos you down to goon?

@oblique thunder @deft tundra @obtuse oar

@serene crescent @pseudo mortar

[warm geode]

What are some decent baseline mods to install for SPTarkov?

[warm geode]

Was thinking of doing Sain's Full AI combat system (with Waypoints and BigBrain), then maybe leave it at that

since that already gives me some trouble haha

[azure vortex]

those and realism mod when it updates and you're g2g

i also like using the reflex sight update that opens up the field of view on them and realistic nightvision also

variable optic zoom is nice as well

[warm geode]

might stick to the main 3 mentioned, update to Realism when it comes around possibly

learn to play with the mods more lol

then upgrade more

[plucky cargo]

One sec I'll send you my list

SPT Realism isn't updated yet so I don't have it yet

once Fontaine updates his stuff I plan on grabbing SPTR and the FOV Fix

AmandsGraphics is nice, gets rid of fog
Artem and Painter are good traders that are decently balanced. Custom Interactions is required for Item Context Menu Extended, Magazine Inspector and Munitions Expert. Those three mods give you some nice QOL info and options, like being able to turn off/on flashlights and stuff in stash so you don't have to fuck with it in raid to get then both on at the same time or whatever.
Search Open Containers is a good one too once the questing and looting bots do more, they sometimes leave containers open. Backdoor Bandit can be kinda busted, basically allows you to buy breaching shotgun rounds and open most locked doors by shooting the handle. More Checkmarks helps you keep track of how much of something you have in your stash, who takes it for barter, quests, hideout etc
Sig MCX Virtus gives you more stuff to do with the MCX
Trader Service Fix and VCQL are needed for custom traders.

wtf apparently my file compression didn't fuckin compress

[warm geode]

I did look at the Amands Graphics mod, looked interesting. Same with the More Checkmarks

[plucky cargo]

can't upload artem or Tactical Gear Component cause they're too big

Dynamic Maps is cool so you dont have to bumble around too hard

[azure vortex]

@plucky cargo when you gonna goon hunt w/ me

[warm geode]

PVE takes the real usernames from PVP and throws them in as the AI PMC? Think thats what I remember because Takeda_UWU doesn't seem like something BSG would come up with lmao

[azure vortex]

correct

[plucky cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-funny-i-am-gif-24915150

[sullen cosmos]

i gotta figure out why my game has so many micro stutters

[warm geode]

"it's not a bug, it's a feature"

[ember ingot]

@pastel cradle

Hop back on

[ember ingot]

@sullen cosmos @low adder @pseudo mortar @obtuse oar @stuck heath @deft tundra anyone around?

[pastel cradle]

[ember ingot]

I'll be right on

[sullen cosmos]

[low adder]

my man trump got head, ears'd

[low adder]

fortunately his level 1 helmet of hair riccocheted the bullet

[elder copper]

shit is wild, a speedy recovery for the former president.

[sullen cosmos]

let escape fellas

[deft tundra]

There’s a critical bug right now. A lot of people are getting all of their trader rep put negative. Some people are losing every bit of access they had.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/s/3koixiHJn3

[warm geode]

Issue only with PVE side of the house?

also been trying to get into SPT more lately, i cannot catch a break. AI PMCs swarm me the moment i get into 1 little fight

[tender cove]

Bruh I’m on holiday and I just want to scav

[warm geode]

scav'ing on SPT is a nightmare lol

[azure vortex]

if you're using sain you can adjust the difficulty

they're a bit head/eyes happy on normal

[warm geode]

i have to look how to adjust the config, cant remember if its just the config file or in-game. Helps with improving my general gameplay (stay on a swivel)

[azure vortex]

in-game

f12 and select sain

[sullen cosmos]

get on homie

[plucky cargo]

SAIN also has its own menu, I think it's F9 or F6 by default

[ember ingot]

Probably be on thursday

[elder copper]

Pve zone is now available to all for purchase. https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/expansions

[obtuse oar]

@vast walrus

[pastel cradle]

flood the market

[elder copper]

So now we will see what a “prepared” bsg looks like. Bet queues will be all messed up again

[warm geode]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-it-crowd-office-space-burning-office-gif-12803923

BSG watching their servers

I was curious about how profile wipes occur but I see it can be done on the website. Can you "Find Group" in a PVE queue to find others to play with? Or only via friends?

and does friendly-fire exist? lol

[elder copper]

You can find group in ready screen.

[warm geode]

like other pubbies? kind of curious

[elder copper]

Yeah

[warm geode]

thats kind of cool, idk how the friendly-fire mechanic works if you wanted to really join some rando group lol

[deft tundra]

damn 9mm ap slaps

[deft tundra]

also eod-unheard upgrade is 50

[warm geode]

$140 for me to upgrade from Prepare for Escape -sadface-

[deft tundra]

im upgraded to unheard but im fucking stupid and didnt realize id need a char reset to get the perks. i dont want to loose my progress and millions now that the loot has been nerfed to shit

i just got good ammo and a ton of unlocks last night

[elder copper]

If you really don’t want to lose progress there are quests now to receive the in game perks like the larger pocket cells and the marker thingy.

[elder copper]

I’ve been using pbp for fun lately in the mp5. There are statistically identical rifles carts but the recoil of 9mm is fun.

7n40 is also a slapper.

[deft tundra]

yea

im just kidna annoyed i dont get my fancy armband either lol

i thought it said id get the perks on ingame email not need a char reset

i just got peackeeper 3 last night lol

[tender cove]

This is a stupid question but could you not throw it to someone in raid and they put it in their backpack to give you post reset

[deft tundra]

ive got 2 scav cases full of parts, a bunch of guns, now very hard to find expensive loot like defibs, and like 4.6mil ruples

i could prob get back to level 15 pretty fast but still

once i get flea its easyt to do stuff

im just deciding if i want to go through the hassle again

i mean, ill prob do it bc im a glutton for punishment

[tender cove]

If it’s shit I can help you swap in raid then we can do that?

I have a lot of inventory space

[deft tundra]

the scav cases are 100kg+ each

[tender cove]

Don’t punish yourself cause Nikita is an asshole

lol o no

[elder copper]

If you keep going there are more armbands to earn.

[warm geode]

time to buy PVE mode now

no longer be a loner on SPT lol

[deft tundra]

fuck it. doing to reset. bunch of friend bought in today so they all have to do quests too

[warm geode]

be my friend Childs lol

[deft tundra]

whats your in game

[warm geode]

im guessing PVE has it's own IGNs, imma buy it when i get home in a couple hours

most likely gonna be xDarkDice

[elder copper]

PvP pve and arena are all the same you change one it changes all.

So in theory you can change name three times in the 7-14 day period.

[warm geode]

interesting, nice

[sullen cosmos]

Time to escape?

[deft tundra]

i reset, i have to do GZ quests lol

[sullen cosmos]

thats wild

[deft tundra]

i wanted my unheard perks

[sullen cosmos]

oh i guess that makes sense lol

thought you did it just for fun

[deft tundra]

lol fuck no

i just got ap 6.3 and had to do this, figured id do it now with new people joining bc we can do quests together

[sullen cosmos]

Ground zero and customs gaming 24/7 pog

[obtuse oar]

honestly, I'd say reset now, itll only get worse the more you progress....... EDIT: I kept reading and realized you already did it, ping me if you need help

[obtuse oar]

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-michael-scott-dunder-mifflin-the-office-welcome-aboard-gif-27005393

[warm geode]

SPT is fun... until you realize you are the only soul in the world

[warm geode]

home now, sold my soul for PVE mode

[deft tundra]

I’ll be on later maybe

Maybe over here maybe on my other discord

A bunch of my friends bought pve today

[robust bramble]

did you add the SAIN mod? makes the AI all act individually different like PMCs will talk and shoot bear and AI ect

AI go loot and extract or you see them doing tasks

[warm geode]

Yes i got SAIN, i know it makes them more "alive" i just meant that playing by yourself in a world of AI is lonely lol

[robust bramble]

your not wrong! ive been debating on getting PVE

but I do like the modding aspect adding weapons and other items

[warm geode]

i didnt go as far as that yet, i really just wanted to add a step of difficulty in the game to hone my skills some more

even if AI PMC dont 100% match the skill of players

they are pretty clever

[robust bramble]

yea they are especially with the last update he did they all react to sound better

[warm geode]

welp, first 2 raids into PVE and immediately shitted on... but wtf

[robust bramble]

💀

you got it

[warm geode]

first raid i got caught off-guard when running outside, they were camping me.. second raid, i got completely ripped by some suppressed 5.56 gun

immediately after spawn, wtf

[robust bramble]

its just tarkov thunder thursday

[warm geode]

feel like im playing SPT again but even worse lol

[robust bramble]

yea cause they went from locking onto your torso to locking onto head.eyes

[warm geode]

the 5.56 dude got me from behind

like i swear, they literally spawned behind me

because the moment i spawned in, it was gunfights everywhere

[robust bramble]

I have noticed that with SPT that even with out any mods the AI spawn in based on how many are moving at one time and how many have been killed or disabled in the area

just from the base tarkov AI

maybe they just added that in

[deft tundra]

Ground zero isn’t easy lol

[warm geode]

nah i know that

[robust bramble]

yuck

[deft tundra]

The scavs are armed up for the event more than normal and the pmc are heavy

I had it happen to me 3 runs in a row before

Gotta roll 2-3 deep right now

[robust bramble]

so in the PVE is it other IRL players + AI PMCs?

or just you vs AI

[deft tundra]

So

Ai

Hence pve there are zero other irl players unless your friends group with you. But they use player names for pmc names

[robust bramble]

is it worth getting? other than being able to play online with friends?

[deft tundra]

It’s tarkov without cheaters

Do you like tarkov

Do you hate hackers

[robust bramble]

thats what I am playing now with SPT

[deft tundra]

Tarkov solo isn’t as much fun as with friends

Imo

[robust bramble]

your not wrong

[hollow hill]

depends om how you approah it. I get really immersed when I solo. The key to solo tarkov is to use movement as your friend. A 4 of 5 man breaks down if you can execute a few rotations on them.

[warm geode]

i will be on later tonight, did a scav run on reserves and got an MDR with like 2 or 3 mags, good start

[deft tundra]

im on with a few low level frinds now in another server, ping me when youre on

[deft tundra]

I became a murder hobo with a shotgun last night. Was playing around with some friends on Ground Zero after my reset they extracted by the car or got killed and I had to make it to the extract alone. I killed 12 scavs with a 590 and lead slugs all from within 15 m over the course of 2 1/2 minutes while running out

I extracted with two rounds left

[bold sparrow]

I started carrying a double barrel sawed-off on shoreline for a quest and it has stuck with me since, I love bringing that thing with rip rounds to mess with scavs

Also the loot nerf has been wild. Like sometimes there’s no loot and the other day in resort 301 I found 2 defibs and a gpu in the same raid.

[warm geode]

that was a crazy raid, never felt so stressed in my life

running low on ammo and meds lol

[ember ingot]

@deft tundra @warm geode @pastel cradle @obtuse oar @sullen cosmos Im like 10 out

@jade elk @elder copper

[sullen cosmos]

getting ready to go out for birthday dinner and drinks

buy me a moonshine in game to celebrate

[elder copper]

At work if everything goes smoothly I’ll give you a solid Maybe.

[elder copper]

i just got bent over by invisible scavs on streets

[azure vortex]

downloaded the new realism mod for SPT and got bent over permanently

really hits that stalker itch while waiting on 2

[tender cove]

Alright - I am home

Let's Tarkov

[warm geode]

I be home in 30-60 mins

[deft tundra]

I’ll be around later tonight

[tender cove]

Same I am just shopping

[tender cove]

I think we’re at a similar point

[warm geode]

Just got home lol

[tender cove]

We’re gonna be like 20min I would say

[tender cove]

Alright just sorting laundry and be with you in five

[warm geode]

Just had a crazy firefight in the hotel attached to liquor store... literally wave after wave they kept coming at me

probably my best solo fights in a long time

[deft tundra]

Damn dude

I’ve gotten trapped in there before in a situation like that, but I couldn’t make it to the back to get down into the parking garage and get out and got clapped after seven or eight got in

[tender cove]

Anyone on?

[warm geode]

i may be on later

[sullen cosmos]

Mk 18 .338 lapua: Acquired

[warm geode]

My stash is feeling a bit..stuffed right now lol. I will be on later today to play some

[elder copper]

Talk more about your stuffed stash…. Not for me, for my brother.

[warm geode]

ill load up, die in raid, profit

[deft tundra]

I’m going to rat run gz some in a bit bc I’ve been finding powerbanks in the ags building multiple times a day lol

[deft tundra]

Also @gilded path

[warm geode]

wonder what kind of Factory rework they got planned. Also, another expansion to Woods? ffs..

curious how Partizan will work

[azure vortex]

pestily has a video comparing it to the current one since he playtested it

nikita released a couple screenshots also

essentially the main changes are the 2nd floor catwalks will go around most of the map and the tunnels are expanded to allow travel throughout the facility

[warm geode]

that sounds kind of neat, i always wished the catwalks were more "fluid" than just being a dead end walkway

[warm geode]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKNgWeQs9lQ < Assuming this is the video you are mentioning, so he doesn't show the actual rework but talks about the changes

[deft tundra]

Level 23 pk3

Ya boi finally has his ap 6.3 back

[warm geode]

i will be on later for some PVE bugaloo

[obtuse oar]

Woods is a fundamental area for Lightkeeper's lore, so if his story is being continued, which, is the logical next step from a lore perspective, an expansion of Woods makes the most sense

[warm geode]

I havent paid much attention to the Tarkov lore since... maybe last year or before they added more maps after Labs

[warm geode]

@deft tundra @ember ingot @tender cove @obtuse oar anyone down to clown for a bit? finally got some freetime

[deft tundra]

I’m out of town til Sunday @gilded path and @molten yoke may be on

Pipe is not a bad guy if you land the shots but Knight is a tank and mobile

[warm geode]

I just stay away from bosses like Goons, im a poor fighter at times lol

Did kill Big Pipe or Birdeye once haha

I will say, the past year (maybe?) has been the better part of Tarkov, maybe..

[ember ingot]

@warm geode @deft tundra @low adder Can anyone get in?

It wont even launch my game

[low adder]

the user profiles have been partially deleted. expect it to be down for a while.

they don't know how to give people back their inventories

[deft tundra]

Yea there’s a big oopsie.

I just hit level 30 with like 4mil in bank and a full unheard stash.

[pseudo mortar]

My 200 million rubles 😮

rip

apparently everyone's account's were wiped lmao

[low adder]

"there will be no wipes in PvE"

"we accidentally deleted everything and have no backups"

-achievements were not harmed- that means we still have access to the trades from previous events at least

[deft tundra]

Checking with all my friends that are on PVe only, they are all saying their accounts are fine

The problem seems to have mainly been on the pvp accounts

[warm geode]

Lmao. BSG fucking up yet again

[gilded path]

yeah my PVE account looks safe for now

[low adder]

I agree, just got in and I am fine

[warm geode]

I will be on tomorrow

Heading home

[ember ingot]

@low adder where you is

[tawny cove]

Be working

[ember ingot]

@pastel cradle You sleep bitch

You keep saying you are going to get on and then dont 😛

[low adder]

here naow

[warm geode]

I may hop on shortly. Depending if the wifey is mad or not lol

[hollow hill]

when I was married that was almost a guarantee.

[inner lynx]

Hence the "was" ?

[low adder]

wipe is confrmed to be 8/15, the pre-wipe event has started on PVP side

[warm geode]

assuming PVE might be left out of pre-wipe events

since... no wipe lol

[low adder]

yes, PVE is not getting the pre-wipe event

PVP gets 10000x more skill exp and all hideout upgrades for beer

[warm geode]

headshot from 500m, insta level 5 sniper

lmao

[deft tundra]

update the 20th

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jlyhs7yOLY&t=5s

[low adder]

the M60 is about to be the most used weapon in this server, guaranteed

looks absolutely amazing

would be cool if they added off-map mortars with patizan

[serene crescent]

DId i just see the PMC use a Desert Eagle to kill Killa?

[warm geode]

yes

[hollow hill]

surely it was with the best ammo available

and it's ammo you don't get unless you no life the game and complete a bunch of impossible quests lol

and yet, I can't wait for it

[serene crescent]

Are we gonna play some matches together this wipe @hollow hill ?

[warm geode]

PVE or PVP? lol

im down for either, think PVE may have helped boost my confidence

[hollow hill]

very good chance since my wipe partner is having a baby and won't be playing as much

we play till burnout and then I dont' ever play again that wipe. lol

totally unhealthy...I do plan on playing this wipe a lot slower

[serene crescent]

I usually make it about 2 months. Around lvl 45ish

[hollow hill]

I'm not doing 20 hour gaming sessions

we hite leve 38 in two weeks and then we were done

[warm geode]

i make it to like... level 10-15 and then get burnt out or salty about the game haha

[serene crescent]

I scav more than PMC with kids around

[hollow hill]

fair. I don't think we ran tht many scavs

they were broken most of the beginning of wipe

we usually give up right around some of the harder lighthouse quests

[serene crescent]

I just do relax runs on my scav between PMCs

[hollow hill]

by then we're level 30-32. We level up a few times doing those quests. and then we get hacekd on and it just...bums us out

that map is so brutal

[serene crescent]

my favorite

[hollow hill]

I can't stand rogues

we also went bear this time around

won't be doing that bullshit again

[serene crescent]

yeah, not worth it

I've been USEC for like 9 wipes

[warm geode]

always usec

i may crawl back to PVP after wipe\

[hollow hill]

I'm down to run some...I just WILL NOT do any more than 3

I can't

I will almost gurantee kill you

unless your coms are spot on.....but if I think you might be enemy, I'm a shoot first ask second dude

[warm geode]

ill just spaz around so you know its me

[serene crescent]

I always live stream everyone i play with on PVP. most of the guys on this discord dont

[hollow hill]

my wipe partner and I have a specific system to prevent that kind of thing....I can't stand dying to an ememy I thought was a pmc in my group

we do THAT, but we also just have specific call outs of our location so we know what's what.

and if one of us gets engaged and the other is crashing back to that spot....we'll give the other a callout like "i'm takin cover behind X, if you see anyone else shoot them"

shit does happen, but it's a lot less likely

don't think I've tk'd him on accident this wipe....had to kill him a few times because he disconnected and couldn[t reconnect so I could bring his gear back

[serene crescent]

Yeah only time i TK is if a friendly flanks without telling me

[ember ingot]

Imma live rent free with the pig and a thermal

[hollow hill]

I wonder how intimidating it's going to sound when they let it rip

[ember ingot]

@pseudo mortar @low adder @deft tundra @obtuse oar @warm geode

Anyone wanna get on

[warm geode]

Possibly in 30 mins

[ember ingot]

Roger

[obtuse oar]

[warm geode]

[ember ingot]

I'll be on around 930-10

[ember ingot]

@low adder @obtuse oar @deft tundra @tawny cove @pastel cradle @pseudo mortar @warm geode

[serene crescent]

Anyone going hard early on?

[exotic nest]

Yeah I am playing or at least trying to

[azure vortex]

servers ded

a lot of people are get POST failed error trying to start the game, including myself

i'm going to check it out, if they still have shit loot i'm not grinding and will continue my refusal to play until they make it worthwhile

plus i have an itch that tells me GZW new update is around the corner

[serene crescent]

Looks like streamers are playing

I won't be on for another 7 hours or so

[warm geode]

the 1% lmao, jk

been wondering about getting back into PVP or not, still have fun in PVE but sometimes it can feel a bit lacking

[azure vortex]

finally got in, unfortunately some things are PVP only currently

new clothing options are PVP only, ref still PVP only, the cultist circle is supposed to be prebuilt if you have unheard edition, only prebuilt in PVP

[warm geode]

I know the new updates mainly apply to PVP right now, hence why im curious to get back into PVP now with new wipe or just stay my path with PVE

[serene crescent]

PVE will always be there. Might as well try some PVP before everyone gets decent ammo.

[warm geode]

thats true, ive always been nervous on PVP because major changes mean new metas or something that throws off my gameplay

[serene crescent]

Only thing i've seen so far is AK ammo is stronger and 5.56 is weaker this wipe. Some kind of boss that goes after low karma players, but doesn't way how karma is earned, and trip wires, but doesn't seem like you will see them until you finish jaeger quest line or get one from the karma boss. But it connects to a nade that uses the default fuse of 3-5 sec so you have time to run from it.

[warm geode]

curious the different karma triggers in the game

[hollow hill]

first wipe I haven't really tried immediately in a while

feels...nice

[low adder]

"we have removed lvl 6 armor from traders"

there is a new trade for a plate carrier with the kiteco plates, second only to the 4sss2 plates

rhyzy and den figurines are now 600,000 roubles

[warm geode]

i think removing some of the higher-end/end-game items from flea makes it a bit more balanced? so even streamers or rich/RWT players cant just restock to be ultichads

but what do i know, i barely reach level 20 in PVP lmao

[low adder]

they replaced the barter for an even more dominant plate

BSG balances with nose candy confirmed

uzi pistol is peacekeeper LL 2 w/ 1.1k rpm

baby vector!

regular uzi is LL1, who wants to go gyat in PVP?

[exotic nest]

Just got home if you wanna squad up

[ember ingot]

https://youtube.com/shorts/LstoB46qflA?si=u42DgLWyR8Y9jrYF

[deft tundra]

the uzi and eagle are hilariously fun

i have made so much money today on hideout build parts

[warm geode]

they forgot to add the part where a pack of rats come and stomp your ass at the end

[exotic nest]

its been a crazy wipe

gunfights feel amazing though

[elder copper]

I salute all the chads going back to pvp, tarkov is now a coop single player game for me.

I’ll see y’all in the arena.

[deft tundra]

Factory rework

[exotic nest]

I love pvp in this game because there isnt anything like it

[inner lynx]

Dayz called

[serene crescent]

Not even close

Dayz is stuck in 2015

[hollow hill]

i wish there was a more...modern verison of Day Z. That game would slap.

[inner lynx]

Nah, still good, and no game comes close to what dayz does to you in firefights. Totally different. No competition, and tarkov will be similiar but the throne for that oh shit heart beat feeling dayz reigns

[hollow hill]

Im so jealous of dudes that can get into it....I just couldn't lol. I kept dying to like being too cold or going hungry.

skill issue most def

[elder copper]

lowkey arean good now

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/1eyaxc2/i_present_you_the_scav_option_scav_throws_a_nade/?rdt=57724

[hollow hinge]

hows the new wipe

[warm geode]

See above. Also, haven't touched PVP yet. Factory rework is a huge improvement, new guns awesome, more visual improvements (computer/TV screens, foliage, etc.)

have not ran into the new PMC Hunter boss yet

"limited use" keycards now, F U BSG

[elder copper]

Arena gud.

[warm geode]

it seems like there is a hidden event in Tarkov... dodgeball with nades xD

[elder copper]

I got creamed the other night in the throat. Some scav spawn wave spawned infront of me I tried to just hose em down with the pig. But I caught one to the gizzard.

[inner lynx]

You worded this intentionally the way you did, yes? lul

[elder copper]

Actually no but I was aware by the time “ throat” came around but I stick those landings

[ember ingot]

Dude, they were fuckin bad yesterday

[low adder]

"we have fundamentally changed sound and fixed the grenade bug"

"now, if you didn't hear the grenade that was thrown at you its a SKILL ISSUE"

also- you are no longer allowed to wear ears and helmets because r e a l i s m (?)

????

[hollow hill]

ngl, like the sound changes

and arena is actually so good now

[azure vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-lol-what-confused-look-gif-14863730

[serene crescent]

yeah, i've died twice this wipe so far and one was a nade that I had no time to get away from even though that type has like a 3.5 sec fuse.

[warm geode]

i feel like the fuse length is shorter now than what it used to be

[warm geode]

[deft tundra]

ive been farming GZ for hideout parts and made north of 10mil rup in less than 2 days

lioke 95% survival on it

small update this am

[low adder]

cultist poison causes the game to break and you can no longer go into raid so BSG removed it

[low adder]

Also can't use the wendy helmet ears or airframe chops with any hearing protection anymore. Seems BSG doesn't want face shield + being able to hear to be available to players

Couldn't wear an ushanka with ears but so many people complained they gave you Gssh's

[gilded path]

I've found the tan exfil with comtac 5/6s and the face shield to work pretty well so far, haven't been head, ears this patch

[hollow hill]

Not a single raid played, level 15 with 2.1 million rubles.

the arena link might actually be game breaking.

[elder copper]

Naw it’s freeing.

[warm geode]

Lmao

Its because they are trying to get rid of those ratsss

[serene crescent]

I just looted a food crate by heli on reserve and someone dropped a toolset in the box so they could make room for food items.

They go for 300k right now

[warm geode]

Lmao. Maybe needed for quest or hideout

[serene crescent]

saw a tall tushoka and went I GOTTA GO

[warm geode]

You only need the half-sized tushonkas for quests i thought?

Or is there one for tall ones too?

[hollow hill]

you need the big ones for jaeger

[waxen reef]

big ones can also craft the little ones

[deft tundra]

ive been looking for a flash memory device and a tank battery all damn night lol

[serene crescent]

Well the tank battery is very low spawn rate so good luck there. The flash drives I just do scav on streets and hit all the filing cabinets

[warm geode]

i have yet to see a flash drive for the quest and i need 3 haha, tried doing interchange and couple other maps for PCs

[serene crescent]

I have 6 from scav runs all filing cabinets

all on streets

[serene crescent]

116 draws in these 4 buildings

[deft tundra]

I need the vpx one. It’s high value tech spawns I remember correctly.

[serene crescent]

limited to lighthouse mostly

[deft tundra]

And reserve and streets

Has spawns on all

And labs

[serene crescent]

Mostly as in has an actual chance to spawn above .01%

If you are going to be picky then say all maps cause buried barrel cashe or sports bag... Will it show up in those? Hasn't in 8 wipes for me.

[deft tundra]

I’ve been searching lighthouse spawns for it lol

[deft tundra]

Got one. Finished it and it let me finish gunsmith 22 with the flir.

Or reapir I mean.

[deft tundra]

We found it under the AGS at lighthouse, the south west corner one that you have to take out if you’re trying to sneak in from the street side

[hollow hill]

I ve found a vew of them in the trunk of the car in the parking lot....merin

rare..but not impossible. It's been nerfed, but I still check it everytime I get a merin key.

[warm geode]

im not a fan of Streets or Lighthouse haha. Mainly because i dont play them often and get lost easily (mostly on Streets)

same could be said of Woods in the northern expan

[deft tundra]

lighthouse isnt bad at all now that i know it.

[warm geode]

i know it a little bit, but not all that well

very linear

imma be on tonight doing PVE

[serene crescent]

The bitcoin wooden box under the gun?

I mained streets for 2 wipes so I know it well, but still learning every day. Like last night in the Presidential building with the filing cabinets. I had no idea that there was as closet with another 24 cabinets

[deft tundra]

At the beginning of this patch, I was doing ground zero even at high-level for loot runs, in 30 minutes I would make one 2 million rubles per run. I would haul ass into the machine gun room, loot all the building supplies get a couple kills and wait for the PMC to extract and then I would take the car extract out. Even the boss killed me I had put enough stuff in my container that I would still make 5 to 600,000.

[serene crescent]

I'm guessing you are talking about PVE?

[deft tundra]

Yea

I won’t ever go back to hack city pvp.

I quit Tarkov for 2.5 years bc hackers

I’ve heard d2 exit is insane dangerous now on PvP even compared to people camping it before bc the tripwires.

[serene crescent]

Casual players are no even on reserve quests yet. It's just try hards and streamers messing around with them.

[deft tundra]

yea those are the worst lol. i love not dealing with thesweaties
