pve-chat

[jaunty stream]

Internet is just bad? ISP issues idk

[frigid saffron]

its bsg. they have added too much so 16gb ram isnt enough anymore

[jaunty stream]

Correct, 32gb has been the norm since like 2019 or something

even recommends 64gb

[frigid saffron]

I was able to play every map prior to the release. now its near impossible

[jaunty stream]

I don't really think much has changed since beta and 1.0 regarding it's performance, Customs took a hit but that's about it. Think you might need to upgrade your pc

[frigid saffron]

meh

much has changed

its just too much data being loaded

used to have no issues.. just since they added the final release stuff its bogged everything down

[lunar ice]

oop missin mayo for kappa

[frigid saffron]

but yeah, i need more ram

everything else is decent enough for tarky

9700 i7, 2080 rtx

just only 16g ram

[jaunty stream]

I mean it's okay if you are playing low and 60hz lol

[somber yacht]

same i have a ryzen 5 5600 and 16gb ram 1080

game runs 50 to 60

[jaunty stream]

I ain't listing my specs

[fleet loom]

yeah my 16gigs of ram have seen better days

moving like a grandpa

[jaunty stream]

So many people still on 16gb of ram is nuts ngl

[frigid saffron]

when it takes 6 mins to load loot..

[fleet loom]

recession indicator

[frigid saffron]

16gb used to be standard top end

[jaunty stream]

Idk man 32gb has been the norm for atleast 5/6 years

[frigid saffron]

hardly ever had a game that required that kind of ram

[jaunty stream]

you are playing one right now

[fleet loom]

key words are "used to"

[jaunty stream]

Yeh times change

[fleet loom]

anything past like 2020 recommended 32+. i dont blame the game for my shit pc

[jaunty stream]

When I got my 2080 I upgraded to 32gb of ram

mw2019, mw2, around 2021/22 started needing that 32gb of ram

[frigid saffron]

im only blaming the game since they keep making upgrading a requirement

[jaunty stream]

even games like Diablo 4

[viscid radish]

agency office key in lexos blocked what

[frigid saffron]

since it used to run just fine before

[jaunty stream]

Again. Used

[fleet loom]

well unfortunately you dont own anything online basically and its their game to make decisions on and about + its just not 2018 anymore

[jaunty stream]

Imagine using an old Iphone 6 in 2026 eh

Gotta move with the times or get left behind

[frigid saffron]

imagine being a snob and expecting everyone else to be richie assfucks

[fleet loom]

dag nabbit they removing support for windows xp! what shall i do

[jaunty stream]

Not being a snob at all

[frigid saffron]

yeah, right...\

[fleet loom]

you arent *owed the ability to play a game you NEVER had the reccomended specs for

[frigid saffron]

um.. IT was the specs.. before they changed it

[jaunty stream]

If you are a grown adult with a job I don't see why a decent pc with 32gb of ram isn't something especially if you play tarkov should have?

[frigid saffron]

now the goal post moved..

[jovial cobalt]

i remember way back before they added the resort to shoreline and i could play it perfectly fine
then they added resort and i could barely even go there until i later upgraded my pc

played the game with like a 1050ti

[fleet loom]

even minecraft has drastically upgraded their requirements

and that games almost 20 years old

[jovial cobalt]

bruuuhhhh

[fleet loom]

or is it already?

[twilit heath]

the same 2 16 GB ram sticks i got less than a year ago are literally double the price now

[cosmic patrol]

i used to run tarkov on a 960. Didnt expect much performance, but got it to a manageable point. Now I got a 1060, and same goes. Dont expect anything from it, but it works

[fleet loom]

14

[jaunty stream]

2009 so close enough

[jovial cobalt]

not until 2029

[fleet loom]

i was geekin

[jaunty stream]

My point being 32gb has been the norm for way over 4+ years, Now stuff is expensive people bitch

[frigid saffron]

having a job doesn't mean you can afford to spend 5000 on upgrades just to play a game that didnt need those upgrades before

[fleet loom]

32gb of ram isnt 5000 dollars of upgrades lol

[jaunty stream]

Mate you can have a pc that runs tarkov perfectly for like 1000 or even 850

[twilit heath]

i used to be able to play this game on high with 50+ fps online with worse hardware and now im running it on low and barely getting 50 fps, i understand the sentiment

[cosmic patrol]

50 FPS is manageable, sorry but u dont need fuckin 50000 FPS for it to be smooth.

[twilit heath]

50 fps for a single player game mode on low is a pretty low bar

[jovial cobalt]

stalker 2

[cosmic patrol]

single player game mode? bro what. U still load everything no matter if u play solo or not

The game files arent changing if ur with a party or not

[frigid saffron]

i need more than 2fps.. need to be able to load the game.. need to not get server disconnects trying to get into streets.. need to be able to offload the raid without alt+f4 to get the game to do anything.. its just not working as it should even though I know its my ram, but its till poorly optimized. I wouldnt complain if I can get into a raid with 40 fps.. just cant get into raids half the time.

[cosmic patrol]

If u have 2 FPS u have a genuine potato

[frigid saffron]

i wish i did, cause that would make sense

[cosmic patrol]

I got 30 FPS with a 960 and 16 gigs of ram... medium settings

now I cant argue though

they added shit that TANKS fps, but still to a manageable level

[twilit heath]

homie could get kicked in the balls by nikita and would still be in here carrying water for him

[fleet loom]

with my 16 gbs of ram i can mostly run it okay i just cant have other tabs or more specifically discord open cuz it eats my shit for some reason

[jaunty stream]

Cromium based for ya

[fleet loom]

if discord is closed, its a good happy day. if its open. ahh hell nah. shits as torturous as a jigsaw trap

[jaunty stream]

Again, gotta move with the time

[cosmic patrol]

thats a reach and a half. I cant get into politics, but you are FAR off from reality

[quartz thicket]

my dwm.exe decides to never purge its vram and just leaks until my tarkov freezes

[fleet loom]

im not complaining, im literally just offering advice as someone who also has a shit pc

[jaunty stream]

no not saying you are

[fleet loom]

because u clearly understand hes not going to change, or atleast i hope you do

[icy relic]

weird question but have they increased the spawn rate for killa? he has spawned EVERY single raid so far

[jaunty stream]

75%

[cosmic patrol]

iirc 75% yeh

[twilit heath]

youre the type would bring up politics if you could lol

[icy relic]

like a 100% spawn rate it feels like.

[cosmic patrol]

... thats supposed to be an insult?

[jaunty stream]

Who the dude in chat or Nikita?

[icy relic]

is that normal rate though or increased?

[fleet loom]

the dude

[jaunty stream]

Normal

[fleet loom]

darkblade or wtvr

[cosmic patrol]

i think thats the least insulting insult ive ever been told

[frigid saffron]

sorry, i havent the money for upgrades

[icy relic]

thanks guys

[twilit heath]

take it however you want (:

[cosmic patrol]

it happens.

[frigid saffron]

maybe your richie rick asses can donate

[cosmic patrol]

nah, ill take it in the way you meant to interpret it. So which way was it

[twilit heath]

increased for PVE if thats what you mean

[cosmic patrol]

Estonian economy makes me spend more on alcohol than anythin else

I rock a 1060 but this month alone I have spent 400 on alcohol.

instead of upgrading

[frigid saffron]

i just need ram

[jaunty stream]

Yeh but do you get what I'm saying? The game gets updated new and more stuff gets added and newer better hardware comes out, Like games been out for donkeys years so we gotta go with it. no point in complaining if it's been years and it's all the same comps, Live service game

[cosmic patrol]

i might sell my old ram tbh

i got them sitting in my drawer collecting dust

[frigid saffron]

asus prime 9700 i7, 2080 rtx. just 16gb ram..

[jaunty stream]

get your priorities in the right order you'll be fine lmao

[cosmic patrol]

so keep at it. Yes.

[jaunty stream]

All on black?

[cosmic patrol]

🙂 Yes.

[fleet loom]

obviously there is no point complaining but people like him just WANT to complain and are always going to do so. im just going to do what i can to aleviate the situation instead of goading a drawn out pointless argument thats been had thousands of times

[frigid saffron]

Im just complaining because I have over 2500 hours into a game that never had these issues, and now has been upgraded and changed so much that a "decent" computer is not even viable anymore

[jaunty stream]

I remember playing ark on a 2gb 960, had to upgrade to a 1060 to get solid performance, Year after year I've upgraded and it's just the way it is. expensive hobby

[fleet loom]

i bought some of this innovasian orange chicken earlier tonight from vons and my god it was probably one of the nastiest things ive ever tasted or smelt. 0/10 maybe even negative if possible

[cosmic patrol]

Valid, ive thought about upgrading for a little while, but taking a gander into my future plans - rather make funny memories with alcohol than upgrade a PC i wont be using in the next... year

[jaunty stream]

Problem is, For playing tarkov. a consistent evolving game that hardly gets optimised. That pc is near bottom of the barrel. You might not wanna hear it but that's just the way it is. It's the same for alot of other people here

[jaunty stream]

I don't drink or smoke, so I have the extra funds to buy pc stuff

[jaunty stream]

What's vons?

[gilded mesa]

I ration my funds until i start getting a job but i do get wht ur coming from abt the parts issue

[fleet loom]

some chain grocery store in california/oregon im not sure where else

[cosmic patrol]

I mean. Id prolly be in the same boat if I wasnt in my early adulthood.

[fleet loom]

"making memories with alcohol" is a funny statement.

usually its to avoid that

[cosmic patrol]

Nah. For me it is really the opposite. I drink -> do something funny -> get told the next day what I managed to do and slowly start to remember what I did

[jaunty stream]

I think that can be said with any live service and evolving game that gets updated and has been around for long periods, If its a 1 and done that's that but no tarkov is constantly getting new and improved updates, New scope glint / rework, Wind and rubbish and specific effects. -10000 fps but still

[fleet loom]

wait wth this Rus post key i have somehow got insured by prapor

[cosmic patrol]

The wind + rubbish will probably tank most of the FPS. The glint and stuff, I doubt it takes that much of FPS, but still hits it a bit.

[fleet loom]

now ill never lose it! thanks bro

[jaunty stream]

It also uses one of the worst game engines for this specific type of game

[cosmic patrol]

The scope glint makes me want to play Squad again

[bronze saddle]

man Courier task is aids... its a stupidly high risk, low reward task that serves no purpose aside from messing with your psyche

[fleet loom]

why can you insure that key? is there a reason?

[jaunty stream]

High risk low reward?? it's 115K exp

[cosmic patrol]

I personally would say Gendarmarie is the worst taskline ever. Rather do 5x all gunsmiths than Gendarmarie even once

[fleet loom]

bought another to check and ig its just a feature

a creature feature

[bronze saddle]

what are you gonna do with exp beyond lvl 50?

[twilit heath]

Games are suppose to have improved performance over time not the opposite, especially when you eliminate the multiplayer component

[fleet loom]

featuring the creature

[bronze saddle]

would rather knife Tagilla to death for the 10th time...

[cosmic patrol]

You cant expect better performance to come as the technology advances

[frigid saffron]

its unneccesary upgrades that nobody wanted.. it makes the game worse performance wise and does nothing to enhance the gameplay. Instead of fixing the sound occlusion, desync, or any of the 100's of bugs that have been in the game for years, they continue to push out bullshit stuff that makes the game more unplayable unless you upgrade to a nasa grade pc.

[twilit heath]

say that sentence out loud

[fleet loom]

clearly the creators wanted it and the fineprint of basically every game says you dont own them nor are u obligated to the game state you want

[cosmic patrol]

You REALLY expect the performance to always stay good for like, a 960? Even though it is what. 11 YEARS OLD.

[stone goblet]

[jaunty stream]

Hello butch, how is Dark n Darker?

[fleet loom]

aboba

[stone goblet]

havent played in ages because im a laptop gamer atm

[cosmic patrol]

Just did

[gilded mesa]

Like a 5060 vs a 4090 gtx or the ram? Or are we talking game performance

[cosmic patrol]

vs bit and the performance wise. It adapts to newer technology not older

[jaunty stream]

Ofc

Which I've stated like 5 times already tarkov is an evolving game with new features being added

[frigid saffron]

features nobody wants

[jaunty stream]

That's subjective

[frigid saffron]

fix the game, not add crap

nobody cares about glint

[gilded mesa]

Eventually some devs use engines that requires better processing parts and either way its still up to the dev decision and not us. Either they take our word for it or they dont and we leave up to chance to see if we want or dont want. But u cant force feed advice into them too

[cosmic patrol]

Not everything is added VIA FEATURES. Go play SAMP and see if you like the graphics -> Improvement are NOT the same as features

[fleet loom]

we get it ur angry.

[cosmic patrol]

Graphical IMPROVEMENT is very, very far from being a feature.

it is a QoL I M P R O V E M E N T

[frigid saffron]

if they are adding features that makes it unplayable to people that used to play it, that is not improvement in any aspect. its making it harder to play requiring players to spend more to access the new features which is basically not necessary

[stone goblet]

what are the features that make it unplayable

[jaunty stream]

you are rocking 7+ year old hardware

[frigid saffron]

so?

game played fine 2 years ago on it

[jaunty stream]

close to the bare minimum spec and are complaining about it

[fleet loom]

brick walls are red

[jaunty stream]

This isn't 2 years ago is it?

[frigid saffron]

now its unplayable

[fleet loom]

usually

[hasty dagger]

[stone goblet]

what are these features we are arguing about

[cosmic patrol]

lmfao, so basically. Lets take LIFE as an example for you. We wont adapt to you being like, 30 or so, so becoming an adult because you used to be a kid 10 years ago. We shall think you are a 9 year old kid

[hasty dagger]

[jaunty stream]

go to sleep

that didn't even make sense lmao

[cosmic patrol]

its 9:52 AM brothaman

[stone goblet]

i think i get what he was tryna say

[cosmic patrol]

It does when you think about it

[stone goblet]

it was a bad example

[twilit heath]

no it doesnt lmao

[cosmic patrol]

It was a bad example, no doubt. Im in the middle of a CS2 match

[jaunty stream]

Yeh I understand it

[cosmic patrol]

Shit even Butch understands it and he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed thats for sure

[hasty dagger]

Oh, so that´s why it felt like you are restarded

[stone goblet]

what the fuck

why am i catching strays

[jaunty stream]

[cosmic patrol]

Sorry butch I had to

I had to take the chance.

[stone goblet]

sorry man i had to

[gilded mesa]

Ayo

[cosmic patrol]

👀

[stone goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/grinch-smile-grin-devious-evil-scheming-gif-24073832

[cosmic patrol]

make it a sticker please... i beg

I annoy people so much that people would love it

[stone goblet]

we are at max cap for stickers

[cosmic patrol]

Aww maaaan

[jaunty stream]

Nah I just find it weird someone who played the game 2 years ago on 7+ year old hardware is complaining he can't run the game now when over the last 2 years so much has been added and you actually need to upgrade over time to keep up with some games? Like idk man it's just a big nothing burger

[stone goblet]

yeaaaah

what specs did he have

[jaunty stream]

It's like trying to run a 2026 game with raytracing on a 2060 or something, Like holy slideshow

[jaunty stream]

9700 and a 2080 with 16gb ram or something

[hasty dagger]

Yep

[gilded mesa]

Ok fr though i really want to know what feature was darkblade referring to, cos fps drops and poor optimization isnt a feature

[jaunty stream]

This game is mega cpu sided too and that cpu is just

[stone goblet]

yeah im not sure about that one chief

[cosmic patrol]

Id say its CPU + RAM tbh

[jaunty stream]

Yeh 100%

again like I said 32gb has been the norm for the last 4+ years

[gilded mesa]

Major CPU RAM with a side of 20% of gpu

[stone goblet]

ngl running this game on that rig 2 years ago is still a bit of a stretch ngl

[gilded mesa]

Isnt the min 2k+

[jaunty stream]

5800x3d or a 5700x3d with a 4070 still runs amazing

even a 3070ti or 3080

[stone goblet]

i run 3060ti and 5800x3d with 32gb 3600mhz ram and soemtimes i even suffer

because the 3060ti isnt great

and its old

[jaunty stream]

8gb right?

[stone goblet]

yea

[cosmic patrol]

I am waiting for my 1060 to give up so I can fully quit Tarkov and PC shit

[jaunty stream]

daym

[stone goblet]

plus ngl i havent cleaned the pc out in years

[cosmic patrol]

gonna go over to a laptop for school shit

[jaunty stream]

I run tarkov on a 9800x3d with a 5080 and 48gb ram, Game runs like a dream with stupid fps numbers

[gilded mesa]

Is it gooched or just dusty

[jaunty stream]

Caked with dust probs

[gilded mesa]

That would be gooched then

[orchid raptor]

how tf did a single guard find his way all the way to big red

ALONE, no nothing nearby, with like 7 minutes left

[jaunty stream]

Never heard of that saying before

[orchid raptor]

bro was on a journey

[cosmic patrol]

He was on a tour

[orchid raptor]

customs is such a strange place

[jaunty stream]

Reshala and his guards can move towards Tiger van near the transit so probs moved over towards big red or got aggro

[orchid raptor]

when i killed him i immediately assumed everyone else was with him, nah, mans was just on his own

hes like that one penguin

[gilded mesa]

Bro brokes his ankles and decided to be a real scav

[uneven bronze]

how do I determine what guns are 'good' or not

[jaunty stream]

right, back of track I need to do blue fire

[jaunty stream]

Subjective

[cosmic patrol]

by what guns you like to use

[uneven bronze]

tyvm!

[gilded mesa]

First is the ammo, for what job and your recoil n ammo management

[jaunty stream]

I personally say use whatever you want to use, Whatever feels the best in your hands

[hazy gorge]

The rpg or mgsl is the best

[uneven bronze]

MDR or TX 15 DML... either take decent ammo?

[jaunty stream]

MDR Takes 5.56 or 7.62 if its black

[uneven bronze]

tank! tyvm

[jaunty stream]

I personally think the TX 15 DML is on the weaker side but the MDR is an amazing weapon to use

both variants

[paper meadow]

MDR 7.62 recoil is massive

[jaunty stream]

Single fire it like the SR-25

[stone goblet]

its just dusty

not caked in dust

[gilded mesa]

For me its NL545, MK47, m4 at the moment

[gilded mesa]

Orh then thats good news

[jaunty stream]

Only time you'd use that thing in full auto is if you are mag dumping a boss right infront of you

[frigid saffron]

dont worry about what gun.. the game will force you to use all kinds of stupid guns you dont want to use for the quests.

its all bout the bullet anyways

[stone goblet]

ngl it sounds like you dont even like the game

why play

[gilded mesa]

Test drive and claustrophobia?

[orchid raptor]

its pve do the quests whenever you'd like to

[jaunty stream]

Or do whatever quests you want

[orchid raptor]

pve's for fun

[stone goblet]

the whole game is for fun

[jaunty stream]

Play pve how you want to play it

[orchid raptor]

a lot of people argue otherwise for some very odd reason

[stone goblet]

video games exist to be entertainment

theres no game in existence that isnt supposed to be fun in some capacity

[jaunty stream]

Be a pure FIR hardcore Gamer

[fleet loom]

damn

i thought the thicc weapon case would be bigger than that

[cosmic patrol]

Borderlands is a fun game tbh. I cant say I have ever had a bad moment there

[fleet loom]

another scam from prapor

[frigid saffron]

yeah.. use whatever.. just wont get your quests done using the wrong gun

[cosmic patrol]

or the batman series. Those are banger too

[stone goblet]

thicc weapons case is bad

[gilded mesa]

Monster hunter

[orchid raptor]

6b14, sa58 and zhuk on my scav wtf

[stone goblet]

peak mentioned

[orchid raptor]

bro's a pmc

[stone goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-hunter-monhan-diablos-hammer-nut-hit-gif-4814018746147181826

[frigid saffron]

silent calibre with a pistol.. peacekeeping with a shotgun.. test drive with ak.. gonna get somewhere for sure..

[jaunty stream]

The only good thicc weapons is a free one

[broken fable]

what's a good bolt action other than the marlin express

[gilded mesa]

That is next level cutscene

[jaunty stream]

M700

[orchid raptor]

bro yknow you dont HAVE to do the quests

like no one is holding you at gun point to do the quests

[frigid saffron]

oh i know

[stone goblet]

he knows he doesnt HAVE to play the game either if he hates it so much

[broken fable]

honestly M700 has the most customization out of all the bolt actions

[jaunty stream]

If he isn't having fun, No one is apparently

[orchid raptor]

im lvl 32 and i still have PK at lvl 2 just because i refuse to go to shoreline, and that dont matter cuz im having fun

[stone goblet]

but what weapon do you main

[frigid saffron]

just saying you dont need to worry bout the gun cause the game will make you use what it wants if you do the quests

[gilded mesa]

Wait slient cal is a sli-shotgun, so did u pistol on accident?

[jaunty stream]

I love being able to change the body, I use the Mod chassis for it

[stone goblet]

no hes just listing examples of using the wrong guns for the wrong tasks

[gilded mesa]

I.glaive in world (current)
DB/Charge in Rise

Wilds waiting to discount

[broken fable]

I either make a cheap modding or expensive modding out of it

and then die

[gilded mesa]

Ah i see

[stone goblet]

based world glaive user

charge blade in rise also W

wilds feels weird for a lot of weapons

[nova plank]

thats the right way to play

[stone goblet]

not greatsword tho, us chad greatsword mains eat good in every game

[gilded mesa]

I want to LS or GS but it takes a while to 100% monster patterns

[broken fable]

only thing I'm annoyed of sniping is the annoying sway while scoped in

[jaunty stream]

I just run a basic suppesor, SE-5, F1 or GRAL pistol grip with a razor or Vudu. Very basic not too expensive either

[nova plank]

fuck meta, just use whatever gun looks coolest

[lunar ice]

would labs still be best spot to looks for mayo and the inseq wrench?

[frigid saffron]

interchange or shoreline

[orchid raptor]

are lighthouse and labs always gonna be transit only? i havent progressed through the tour main story line cuz i dont have 20k usd yet

[stone goblet]

unironically the inseq wrench is everywhere in labyrinth

[stone goblet]

lighthouse unlocks from the 20k usd

[jaunty stream]

You need 20k for LH

[lunar ice]

yeah there is that

[stone goblet]

labs you have to transit to and do some objectives to unlock it

[jaunty stream]

Labs is a transit then do stuff in labs to unlock it

[orchid raptor]

oooooo okay

[gilded mesa]

Lighthouse is 20k usd
Labs is transit once but u need to visit some areas

[broken fable]

yeah, default M700 with a suppressor and scope, also the optional bipod really does wonders

[orchid raptor]

understood, thank god there's a lab transit in factory tbh, if labs was only accessible via streets it would be torture

[frigid saffron]

streets is easier cause you dont have the chance of Tagilla bashing in your skull enroute

[jaunty stream]

Tagilla is cake

[uneven bronze]

Holy shit

[stone goblet]

i want more monster hunter now

[uneven bronze]

I thought it was 3$ per 2 points of inventory, not 2 rows. Well.. I got 20 more rows now

[orchid raptor]

people actually buy the stash upgrade?

[uneven bronze]

IM FREE FROM FREE INVENTORY HELL OMFG

[stone goblet]

i do

i have every available stash line from store

still suffer from full stash

[cosmic patrol]

bro I am going to FUCKING YAHHOO

[jaunty stream]

Eh I just got unheard so I already have max stash off rip

[uneven bronze]

is there a way I can get a box to sort and store my ammo

[jaunty stream]

• Christmas drops pretty much gave me a maxed out hideout off the rip too lmaooo

[orchid raptor]

what the FUCKKKK

[jaunty stream]

Ammunition box

[orchid raptor]

GPU OFF DUFFLE BAG ON INTERCHANGE SCAV RUN

[uneven bronze]

which vendor sells tghis?

[orchid raptor]

ive been sleeping on interchange this entire fucking time and i regret it holy

[jaunty stream]

[twilit heath]

mechanic and ref, but you can also get it off the flea

[jaunty stream]

Mechanic level 1 after gunsmith part 5

[twilit heath]

theres a craft for it too

[cosmic patrol]

back to hating terminal

[jaunty stream]

No, it's a barter

Mechanic level 1 gunsmith part 5 = Barter
Mechanic level 2 gunsmith part 10 = buy
@uneven bronze

[twilit heath]

i was thinking of mag case my b

[stone goblet]

still not escaped?

[gilded mesa]

Mag case buy is LL3 mechanic from shooter born

SBIH

[fleet loom]

is the moonshine barter actually cheaper for the thicc case than the ledx or what

the estimated price is bs fs

[cosmic patrol]

no

i havent tried for like 3 weeks either.

[stone goblet]

fair fair

[cosmic patrol]

Been taking a NIIICE long break from Tarkov, especially since they reduced raid timers even more i heard

[nocturne summit]

they finally fixed snowballlllll

[uneven bronze]

raid timers?

[nocturne summit]

i finally have itttt

[nocturne summit]

ur jokin

[stone goblet]

the timers arent lower than what they were at the start iirc

the UI just says the raids are shorter

like on the selection screen

[nocturne summit]

im just gonna say it ren you coulda escaped with me and the other dude (its me cultist

and i did make the offer

im just happy i finally have snowball after getting all the kills for it

[cosmic patrol]

I know 😄 I kinda dont mind not escaping, gives me reason to play more. If I wouldve escaped by now id just have uninstalled either way

Too repetitive especially since we cant even get event achievement

[stone goblet]

you can get the achievement now iirc

[nocturne summit]

im debating wiping or waiting for prestige just to escape again

[cosmic patrol]

Imma check rq. I remember shoreline was 35 minutes or so. Gonna see if it has changed

[nocturne summit]

yup logged in for the first time in a while and have it

[cosmic patrol]

cause I saw someone complain that woods is now 25 minutes

[cosmic patrol]

Ah, time to duck hunt ig

[stone goblet]

it just says that on the map selection screen

theyre not actually like that in raid

[nocturne summit]

i just want the boat mappppp

[cosmic patrol]

you are correct indeed 🙂 thank fuck

[stone goblet]

yea i was afraid of the timers as well when someone mentioned it but we went straight in and the timers just dont match the selection screen

[nocturne summit]

same

i like taking my time to fight the cultists

[waxen coyote]

Would be nice if the great storm of Tarkov would stop

I’d rather have the snow again

[jaunty stream]

uhh no snow

[sage marsh]

snow pls

[stone goblet]

no snow

please

keep it away

[sage marsh]

snow without the blizzard

[jaunty stream]

No snow at all

[sage marsh]

night raids with snow were so peak

[bright sand]

??snow

[quasi apex]

Current Weather forecasts show a blizzard is about to hit the Norvinsk Region. Temperatures to be in the negatives for the forseeable future so put on your thermalwear. ❄️

[jaunty stream]

No snow is the best snow ngl

[cosmic patrol]

I like the snow

[broken fable]

thought I was safe from MGs since I keep my distance from Lexos, only to get gun downed by a scav who happens to be on a HMG

[fleet loom]

partisan got slender powers all of the sudden

saw bro through the branches in woods by cultist bunker far ahead of me and 2 second later hes just walking me down directly behind me

i picked up too many pages

[cosmic patrol]

bro omg, I remember playing some slender shit on SAMP when I was like 8 or so. Ah those were good times

[waxen coyote]

Lmao I just saw the cultists fight reshala

[bright sand]

who won

[waxen coyote]

Plus some pmcs

It was stalemate I cleaned up the rest

[bright sand]

good loot?

[waxen coyote]

No lmao

They did take out each other a little

A pmc got shanked to death

[bright sand]

what a sight

[waxen coyote]

Killed 2 warriors the priest. Reshala and one guard

Cultists having foot steps really makes fighting them easier since you know when they’re pushing

[lunar ice]

Don’t think the mayo wants to spawn on labs for me

[fleet loom]

whenever they bring snow back they should add ice along with it. u just randomly trip on ur ass and go prone or cant stop moving on some surfaces

wow i love being able to see rn its so great

[cosmic patrol]

Died to slipping on black ice

[waxen coyote]

Better to just hit ration crates

[lunar ice]

Also looking for the pipe wrench so kinda tryna do two at once but im bouta go to bed anyway

Nikita if u listening wanna switch a bitcoin in blacksafe for a mayo rq

[fleet loom]

srry bro magic pmc stole it

[peak coral]

mayo is so common

go loot food bunker on reserve or something

[uneven bronze]

uhhh what is scav rep tied to

[peak coral]

a bunch of things

read through the wiki page for it

[uneven bronze]

oke

[peak coral]

taking coop extracts and car extracts as pmc gives rep with diminishing returns, killing scavs as a scav makes you lose it, killing pmcs who have killed scavs gives you some too

i am on collector and only have like 3.5 rep or so its super slow going

[toxic patio]

died to raiders through floor near yellow

this is why i wear altyn. one round without facepro and i die to ai wallhacking

[quartz thicket]

its about damn time necrus, first ledx

[thorn token]

i finally have lightkeeper

[drowsy juniper]

ooo btc behind MVD]

[drowsy juniper]

nice

long way or did u do the story shortcut?

[thorn token]

i had network provider from the story shortcut, but by this point i've done all the long way tasks as well

i got kappa first before LK

[drowsy juniper]

i did the story shortcut before it was known to be a shortcut luckily xD

[quartz thicket]

luckily i didn't read anything and just handed prapor over the case

[thorn token]

yea i unknowingly did the shortcut too

[lunar ice]

bbruh i opened black safe picked up 2 bitcoin and one of em vanished

[quartz thicket]

theres a pmc looting your shit go kill him

[drowsy juniper]

magic

[gilded mesa]

Is marked keys rm still trash

[light root]

6th marked dorms: sa58, 37 eko rounds, mcx, sp-8, ks-23, ryzhy figureine

[gilded mesa]

Oof

[light root]

[gilded mesa]

U didnt buy key rite

[light root]

nah got off partisan

[gilded mesa]

Wow nice loot

Ik marked is still trash but nice drop tbf

[light root]

yeah, i havent gotten much

got an injector case which was nice bc I dont have flea level yet

[wicked crow]

shout out to the mosin scav that shot me in my zabrolo for 10 minutes

[earnest gale]

Has the marked bunker in Woods been good to you lately ?

[light root]

searched it 8x, never anything special lol

[earnest gale]

Yeah me too it has been nerfed to the ground

[drowsy juniper]

2 dorms marked for me last week

but i did check it like 15 times

[ivory cairn]

why when i get out of btr i die

[light root]

did you get out by log camp?

[ivory cairn]

no usec camp (woods)

i exited and i got killed

[light root]

probs a pmc then

[ivory cairn]

oh

[drowsy juniper]

maybe natural causes

[ivory cairn]

when i died instatly

[drowsy juniper]

PMC had a heart attack when getting out

[ivory cairn]

i mean pmc in pve are so hard to kill

i keep dying to them

[drowsy juniper]

did you eat and drink in the BTR

[ivory cairn]

no

[drowsy juniper]

maybe your pmc has an allergy

[ivory cairn]

oh

[drowsy juniper]

ahh idk then

[drowsy juniper]

you'll get the hang of it

[ivory cairn]

welp i think its a pmc

his name was birdeye

[drowsy juniper]

Birdeye is one of the bosses

[ivory cairn]

those name man so random

[drowsy juniper]

goon squad, Knight, big pipe and birdeye

[ivory cairn]

WHAT BOSSES?????

[ivory cairn]

welp

[drowsy juniper]

birdeye is the longrange/sniper out of the three

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Birdeye

[ivory cairn]

well he just sprayed me with a silenced gun

i didnt know that was a boss

[light root]

knight psrayed you, birdeye landed the killing shot

[ivory cairn]

oh

[drowsy juniper]

tbf birdeye can spray as well, especially full auto as he now has a modded M4 as a potential in his primary

[ivory cairn]

well i think thats the cause

and btw i have smth like i keepp dying to tagilla idk how to like kill him

its starting to get annoying

[drowsy juniper]

If you dont have access to decent pen ammo yet, you want high flesh damage and aim for his legs

[ivory cairn]

fmj

for ak

and also how do i know the extraction of certian map

[drowsy juniper]

There are maps of all the maps on the wiki page, https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Special:AllMaps

should have them all on there

[ivory cairn]

i cannot find my self

[light root]

hell of a game to go into blind lol

[ivory cairn]

man i guess im stuck on factory

and plus playing solo is kinda a pain in the ass

[lunar ice]

When I first got tarkov that’s what I’d do just take people down with me then get stuck in raid til I died from time

[drowsy juniper]

we've all been there xD

[ivory cairn]

wha

[lunar ice]

[ivory cairn]

welp i guess i will stay as a noob

[drowsy juniper]

There is also plenty of map guides etc on youtube if you find it easier to orientate/find yourself that way

[ivory cairn]

yeeah i know that but... when im aobut to lanch my brain keep telling me no no no

[lunar ice]

We allowed to talk about the interactive map or that against TOS?

[drowsy juniper]

The maps on the wiki etc are fine as they are all made by the community etc, only like that which would break TOS is anything datamined basically

[peak coral]

use one of the interactive maps

theres a bunch of different ones

[ivory cairn]

i know but i cannot find my self

its hard

[peak coral]

have you never used a map irl before

[ivory cairn]

yeah but in tarkov i cannot i always stress and die to a landmine or sniper and bosses

[lunar ice]

I was just assuming it would be like we could only talk about the wiki in here or something

[drowsy juniper]

What maps have you tried other than factory

[peak coral]

look up the RE3MR maps, they are 3d you should be able to use eyeballs to find where you are

[light root]

i mean the only truly good advice is to watch youtube map guides lol

[peak coral]

yeah your best bet is to just go watch pestilys map guides or something if you are super new

[ivory cairn]

woods::ground zero:customs :

[peak coral]

but its alot of trial and error you wont really know a map until you do 20+ raids on it

[ivory cairn]

I HATE LIGHTHOUSE AND SHORILINE

[lunar ice]

Woods the worst one

[ivory cairn]

and interchange to

[ivory cairn]

NOOO U LIAR I LOVE BTR THATS WHY I LOVE WOODS

[peak coral]

the humble SJ6 + Meldonin combo

[peak coral]

streets of tarkov has btr

[drowsy juniper]

Woods i still get lost on sometimes lol depending on spawn. Customs/Ground zero are good ones to focus on after factory, so keep trying them, try to focus on landmarks, and see where they are on the maps etc

[lunar ice]

Was bouta say he on streets

[light root]

woods is hardest to learn, lighthouse is the worst to play lol

[lunar ice]

Tried to talk to him yesterday and ate a ags30 on my way in

[ivory cairn]

every time i play street of arkov which i tried once i fell like my pc is mining bitcoin

[ivory cairn]

alr thx man

[lunar ice]

Ye that’s streets

[peak coral]

need to change ur settings and prob enable nvidia smooth motion in your control panel

[light root]

he's getting wrecked by tagilla lol

[drowsy juniper]

streets is kinda ass if you dont have the hardware as well tbf

[peak coral]

after i did that i get like 70 fps on streets

[ivory cairn]

i enabled steet of tarkov resoution but i still lag

[lunar ice]

All the spawns basically look the same if u on woods except the old train depot spawn then u in a building

[peak coral]

theres a ton of different settings that affect performance i would look up a performance guide on youtube

[ivory cairn]

i did that

[lunar ice]

My favorite part about woods if when it would spawn rookie me next to the minefield knowing what was gonna happen

[peak coral]

and enable smooth motion in nvidia app

[ivory cairn]

minefield?

[lunar ice]

U will find it don’t worry

[peak coral]

woods has a minefield around most of its outer edge

[ivory cairn]

whats that

[light root]

i'm getting gen z vibes

[ivory cairn]

i dont have nvidia

[uneven bronze]

is the 6b43 zabralo any dope

[peak coral]

its mid

[lunar ice]

Bruh the smooth motion is nice for fps but omg the screen tear and the lines

[peak coral]

i dont get any

[light root]

save it, you need to use one for a quest

[hollow prawn]

Guys I am still looking for an evasion arm band 8 days since I got collector about 30days since I started lmao

[peak coral]

i have a gsync monitor tho so that might be why

[lunar ice]

I walk past a container and my dude in the corner of my screen Wiggin out

[peak coral]

me too man

[thorn token]

man i really feel like LK loot should be better lmao

[peak coral]

lets see

will kaban drop me a pkp today

[thorn token]

that island doesn't have to be juiced per se, but it should be like labs level loot

[lunar ice]

And when I inspect a weapon all the bars for the stats get hella wobblly for a split sec

[peak coral]

i do find it funny how bad the marked key there is

[thorn token]

negatory ghost rider

[light root]

lol i have 15 evasions

run labs and loot all the duffles

[lunar ice]

He gonna have the pkm

[hollow prawn]

I have been mass farming labs and Factory lmao

[thorn token]

my first time on the island, i found an intel and a W301 key so not the worst I guess

[lunar ice]

I always find a evasion on the dude that spawns the unknown key on customs

[peak coral]

they buffed some streets keys right

[light root]

your only hope is cache runs now

[lunar ice]

He always has one or a smoke balaclava

[peak coral]

the 4 ammo ones?

[light root]

fun fact: it once too kme like 18 raids to find a dcleaner lol

just 1

[drowsy juniper]

Terragroup armoury and MVD were always good, for ammo

cheap af too

[peak coral]

oh yeah it took me like 15 raids to find it for that one hideout upgrade earlier in wipe

[light root]

scav on reserves and hit the rooftops

[lunar ice]

Yeah the roof tops r actually poppin

[peak coral]

yeah i always got good stuff from those rooms but conc sec has been bad for me

[hollow prawn]

I did duffel and stash runs on shoreline for a few days, I did shturmans box 20 times, I've mass farmed Factory and labs all keycards, I am in P A I N

[drowsy juniper]

yeah conc sec i dont bother with anymore, might try again after the changes but not too confident in it

[peak coral]

i need 9 more shturmans for hunter still maybe ill get evasion from his box

[lethal garnet]

actually

[peak coral]

and a red rebel for tkpd unlock

[lethal garnet]

i think conc security was buffed for ammo

[drowsy juniper]

hmmm

[lethal garnet]

i found two packs of PBBS 120 in there the same raid

[drowsy juniper]

maybe i do try it

[lunar ice]

I got a red rebel off my first shtruman kill he had it in his hands

[lethal garnet]

but of course it could be luck

[peak coral]

just opened conc sec, 2 boxes of m856a1 and a ram stick

[lethal garnet]

that room is amazing or dog

why is the timer in here so slow

[drowsy juniper]

no idea its frustrating af tho

[peak coral]

im not even sure its worth it to loot scavs anymore

i cant remember the last time i found something better than an rfid

[lunar ice]

Cause we got some smooth brainers in here sometimes

Swear half the time I come in here it’s someone yelling at tyreall

[stone goblet]

!slowmode 1s

[quasi apex]

✅ Set 1 second slowmode for #pve-chat (native slowmode)

[drowsy juniper]

ty

[stone goblet]

[lunar ice]

Thy god has spoken

[hollow prawn]

lol

[lunar ice]

U like that humanitz?

[stone goblet]

not solo and not with cold hands on a laptop

[lethal garnet]

🙂

don’t make me have to go get them again

[lunar ice]

I played the demo of it it’s interesting kinda hate the camera movement of it

[peak coral]

man i dont understand how ppl max out all their skills it seems like such an insane amount of grind for some of these like im only lvl 10 mag drills at lvl 47

[lunar ice]

I’m 52 and my mag drill at 20

It be slow

[drowsy juniper]

im almost 60 and mag drill at 22, with arena included

[peak coral]

i thought arena stats were pvp profile only

[drowsy juniper]

skills transfer to pve

skill gain i mean

[peak coral]

interesting

[drowsy juniper]

just not PVE to arena

[lunar ice]

I’ve been packing a lot of mags recently waiting for the btr driver

[drowsy juniper]

only arena to PVE

[orchid raptor]

most reliable way/place to find PMCs in customs? tryna get test drive part 3 done asap

[lunar ice]

Behind new gas and dorms

[peak coral]

railroad between the 2 warehouses, and antenna behind new gas

[lunar ice]

I did test drive 6 earlier in 2 raids was kinda satisfying

[bronze saddle]

so i went to customs to hide 2 stupidly expensive REAP-IRs and stumbled on Partisan and the cultists.. i clapped their cheeks and the cultist boss had a ''clearly'' rare key on him. where do i use the RB-VO?

[peak coral]

theres also a pretty common spawn at military checkpoint and the warehouse at the hole in the walla cross from it

[orchid raptor]

speaking of customs, has anyone ever gotten 314 off those little key things that the guard desks in dorms have

i heard it can spawn there

[lunar ice]

Yeah they like fight in between the sniper buildings

[cosmic patrol]

i now hate the snow, only irl tho. This shit is making me wear sunglasses

[lunar ice]

Only clips

[peak coral]

how do you get to such a high level without knowing about reserve marked keys 😭

[drowsy juniper]

i got it twice pre 1.0

[bronze saddle]

cause i dont fucking PLAY Reserve!! i only played it to do missions! hell ive only been to Labs ONCE and ive played this game for literal years

[drowsy juniper]

the key is cheap, always carry it and check through the glass

[orchid raptor]

the only marked 314 ive ever gotten was when i was like lvl 10 and got it off a scav in factory

[peak coral]

interesting

[orchid raptor]

it didnt drop anything good in the 10 uses it had

best it gave was violet

i heard good things about that key and i was dissapointed it didnt give anything good

[lunar ice]

Reserve lowkey the best map rn

[orchid raptor]

it did at least give me the docs case ive been using to this day

[peak coral]

ive done prob 50 openeings of reserve marked keys this wipe and got something good like twice

[lunar ice]

Good ammo best marked rooms bosses guards usually carry fire ammo as well

[drowsy juniper]

they always have t-45 for me

or m856a1

[lunar ice]

I must be lucky I rack them pmags in like hot cakes

[orchid raptor]

is reshala's bunkhouse worth hitting? what's in it?

[lunar ice]

Whole lotta nothing

[drowsy juniper]

few gold spawns, a potential taiga spawn

[thorn token]

how long does it take for LK to give you the armored case?

[peak coral]

ive pulled a few bitcoins out of it, worth hitting if you run past

[orchid raptor]

got the key ages ago and i never bothered hitting it

[drowsy juniper]

been nerfed from when 1,0 first dropped

[orchid raptor]

i see thank u

[lunar ice]

Found the goo ledx and a gpu in the room over shii

[drowsy juniper]

what is a goo ledx

do i even want to know

[lunar ice]

Spawns in the barrel of goo

[drowsy juniper]

aaahh

[lunar ice]

I just call it that for some reason

[drowsy juniper]

[lunar ice]

Probably cause it a easy way to tell u where I found it and what it is at the same time

[short rivet]

What happened to raiders? they cracked 4 of my altyn face shields in the span of 2 raids. are they taking aderal and using aimbot again?

[lunar ice]

I still gotta do the 5 pmc kills on shoreline and interchange without scav kills

[light root]

you sure those aren't guards?

[short rivet]

im sure of it. glukhar and his boys were at white knight both raids

[lunar ice]

Pretty sure raiders and rouges aimbot is just stronger than the rest

Kinda like bosses and guards cause scavs can’t hit shit half the time

Glukhar got a thing for shooting me in the neck

[orchid raptor]

kirk

[cosmic patrol]

go fight BD rq

[lunar ice]

I’m working on getting there

Almost there

Got get btr rep up for my ending

Very excited after all the stories I’ve heard and read

[earnest gale]

Is it possible to be banned from the market ?

[quartz thicket]

Yes

[wicked crow]

probably

[light root]

yeah, fail the captcha

[bright sand]

it's just temporary

[earnest gale]

Han ?

[quartz thicket]

Buy stuff too fast and a captcha pops, if you fail it you get banned for like 15-30 mins

[earnest gale]

Ok ok

Thx

[light root]

why did i just find a reshala guard by the dead bush guy

[lethal garnet]

he wondered maybe he followed someone

[light root]

fresh raid lol

[quartz thicket]

I've found them at the dumpster before, might have gotten triggered by a pmc ai

[light root]

reshala isnt even at fortress

[quartz thicket]

Hes probably in 17 or behind crack

[onyx depot]

is this different to the drop one?

[worthy otter]

No, it is the drop one

[lunar ice]

Welp that was the fastest $7 I’ve spent

[cosmic patrol]

Is it actually a voiceline?

also hello chek

[worthy otter]

Yes it's a voice line in-game

[lunar ice]

Ye u start yelling at the scavs

[cosmic patrol]

thats banger

I got it from drop, and ive only heard "blyat" as a BEAR, mostly

or atleast thats the one I remember

just plain old blyat

[lunar ice]

USEC has a lot

[cosmic patrol]

USEC has a lot indeed

[lunar ice]

My friend be spamming it all raid

[cosmic patrol]

i might escape, wipe and go USEC tbh

BEAR aint that nice

[lunar ice]

I can’t wait to escape and get all that loot that comes with it

[cosmic patrol]

True that

Imma prolly just waste everything in my favourite map - labrynth. And if no money for barter then factory

Tagilla will feel the pain I felt when I played Factory for the first time

[lunar ice]

For fun I go to factory with a ks23 with slugs and one tap him

Goes straight thru his mask

[light root]

Dorms marked #7: ak-74,sa58, deagle l6, cat statue,

[peak coral]

🥀

[light root]

so far best room has been a red rebel

honorable mention: injector case bc i didnt have the lvl to buy it

[orchid raptor]

surgery kit bugged out and used 2 uses 🥹

[lunar ice]

I hate that

Idk how it gets stuck

[light root]

more annoying when you sit through it, to find out it fixed nothing

[drowsy juniper]

damnc ice breaker is Q2 now

zzzz

[lunar ice]

Wait that thing rn?

[cosmic patrol]

🙁

[bright sand]

roadmap on twitter?

[cosmic patrol]

i feel like the pve-stige will go Q1 or Q2 of 2027 ngl

[drowsy juniper]

yess

[bright sand]

roger. thank you

[lunar ice]

New boss?

[drowsy juniper]

new boss Q2 tho which is nice as well

[drowsy juniper]

probs on the ice breaker id imagine

[lunar ice]

Labs boss would be funny

[grim raft]

🔜

[cosmic patrol]

ngl the only thing for Q1 im hyped for is the mag drop sound

[drowsy juniper]

same

also depends what the vague QOL is on player feedback, could be nothing important, or pretty big, in the past it varies

[bright sand]

a thunderous metal thudding ringing through the whole map

[blissful merlin]

that was a boring roadmap

[drowsy juniper]

it shoots a giant flare in the sky "YOUR DROPPED MAGAZINE IS OVER HERE"

[grizzled yoke]

How to farm pmcs on streets

[lethal garnet]

it’s easy run to the sound

i’ve killed 15 PMC as a scav on streets

[quartz thicket]

got so spooked the first week weapon drops made noise

[lethal garnet]

just run to the sound

pick up gun, run to the next sound, pick up guns

[orchid raptor]

wtf where is reshala

[lethal garnet]

right there

[orchid raptor]

picked off all his guards and when i advance hes gone

[lethal garnet]

he doesn’t have 100% spawn chance

oh

[quartz thicket]

did you check crack house and 17

[lethal garnet]

well if the guards are there’s there

[drowsy juniper]

gulp he's behind me... isnt he?

[lethal garnet]

no it’s the goons

aaaaaand you’re dead

[orchid raptor]

5 dead guards and no reshala

my math aint adding up

this guy's a fucking pussy what is this

[drowsy juniper]

reshala has 4 guards

[onyx depot]

4 guards and his twink boyfriend :3

[orchid raptor]

WHERE is this motherfucker

[drowsy juniper]

lucky reshala

[onyx depot]

very

[orchid raptor]

whatever im taking the ammo from his guards

[late creek]

reshala likes to run away while his guards fight

[orchid raptor]

how far could he have run away jeez

[tall karma]

is there a way to delete my account / check what email is connected to my EFT account?

[orchid raptor]

fucking went on a journey apparently

[late creek]

hes a bitch

he thinks hes tough so he wears no armour then runs off bc hes scared

[orchid raptor]

atleast his guards have good ammo so i atleast wont be walking out with nothing

[late creek]

they always have the last bit of morphine i need start of wipe

[orchid raptor]

still a lil salty i didnt get to kill reshala though, wouldve liked the exp

scurried away like a little fucking rat

[muted tide]

can anyone help a brother out i spawned in lighthouse and climbed up a mountain got hit by two mines i need help navigating

[jovial cobalt]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Lighthouse#2D_Map
red highlighted areas are minefields, you are in the top right of the map

[sterile stone]

looking at the new roadmap, did BSG forgor that PvE exists?

[hazy gorge]

Bro no way

You have to pay for Nikitas voice now???

[jovial cobalt]

if you didnt get it before ye

[lunar ice]

What’s pve?

[cosmic patrol]

Lul, dropping a VPO mag and having it sound like a tank shot, id take it

[hazy gorge]

Holy greed

Crazy shit Man

[cosmic patrol]

not really, considering the chance to get it for free was kinda big.

had it random, and had it guaranteed drop wise

[hazy gorge]

But why would you pay if it was free before

[cosmic patrol]

because people for some reason REALLY want it

[hazy gorge]

Make it free

[cosmic patrol]

nothing is free nowadays, brother elektron

[vale atlas]

PvE is an afterthought, they might charge for it but its unlikely to get any serious focus.

Though the changes they listed there are still going to affect PvE, its all the same thing

[jovial cobalt]

cuz it was a limited time thing

[hazy gorge]

Fair enough

[hybrid sky]

Will BSG add prestige for PVE in Q2 as Nikita said, or will it be delayed?

[quartz thicket]

safe answer is always delay

[bright sand]

it wasnt indicated in the roadmap

[jovial cobalt]

there wasnt a date for pve prestige i think before roadmap too

[sterile stone]

sucks man

[vale atlas]

Ah its part of the territory, very slow development speeds and a "Vision" means we will be getting updates but only in the direction Nikita cares about

[orchid raptor]

end of raid screen, i DID kill reshala

what the FUCK where was his body?? i was in new gas looking around for 15 minutes

😭

[cosmic patrol]

yeaah, just got told planned

Thats imo all info out on it

[hazy gorge]

Somewhere

Its not like reshala Has anything good on him most of the time

[peak coral]

which parts of lexos are even worth looting now

im only hitting the ammo room now

[sterile stone]

he should sell the game to a better dev

who actually cares about player feedback

[vale atlas]

Why would he do that he's making $$$

[sterile stone]

he is small fish compared to big live service games

[vale atlas]

Exactly

[hasty dagger]

"Free" Nikita voice is now available for money, lmao

[pine steeple]

Is there tagged and cursed in pve?

[hasty dagger]

Yes

[vale atlas]

They're not gonna pay enough to make it worth selling the company. They wont earn enough out of it. Nikita isn't exactly broke so he wouldn't have any real incentive to do so

What players want isn't a driving factor for most games nowadays 😛

[pine steeple]

How to trigger it? Trying to work towards the bp crafting quest.

[sterile stone]

he gambled on arena and lost a lot of $$$

[hasty dagger]

Go naked into a raid

You can bring pistol at least, from what I heard

[vale atlas]

Yeah but he can just add another "Ultimate" edition for $500 euros

3 extra stash slots

[late creek]

i just found a chek 13 key in violet drawers lol should i run all 10 uses and see what i get

[hasty dagger]

That was just an RNG god on your side, but go ahead, maybe you get something else

[cosmic patrol]

if u havent done storyline, keep it for a bit

[late creek]

okay whats it used for

[cosmic patrol]

unless u wanna go fight Kaban

[hasty dagger]

Quest and storyline

[late creek]

streets is my fav map

[cosmic patrol]

Its a questline for mechanic

lemme see if i can get u the exact name hol up

[late creek]

alr

[hasty dagger]

It´s for "blue fire" If I believe right

Yep

[cosmic patrol]

Thats one, so it is used for 2 chapters, aforementioned Blue Fire as well as They are already here

[hasty dagger]

"Unknown device fragment"

[cosmic patrol]

They are already here can be done with other marked keys too, but since u already have chek, u might as well 2-1 it

[peak coral]

yeah u need chek 13 for broadcast part 5 and i think one of the main story quests

[hasty dagger]

Well, check 13 is not "required" for the that storyline because it can be any marked key, but having it, it´s good because you don´t need to buy another marked key

[cosmic patrol]

yesh

[hasty dagger]

So, in total you need to use it 3 times (If you are doing They are already here storyline quest)

[late creek]

fuck it ima buy nikita voicelines bc i hate grinding the customs map

[hasty dagger]

That ain´t nikita voice for Tarkov, lmao

[late creek]

its for arena?

[hasty dagger]

Only arena

But not for PMC use

Only announcer

[late creek]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/expansions/bundle/vo_nikita
this just got added to the site tho what about this

[hasty dagger]

Or "commentator ?"

[hasty dagger]

Yes, that´s for Tarkov

But the one from customs map (Arena) that´s not voice for PMC in Tarkov nor PMC in Arena

[loud raptor]

Yeah they added it for 5$

[late creek]

so if i buy this my pmc wont sound like as much of an idiot

[hasty dagger]

Pretty much, lmao

[loud raptor]

The arena one is only the commentator

[late creek]

alright cool

[hasty dagger]

Yes (customs map)

[loud raptor]

Rip the old woods map that got removed

[hasty dagger]

Never was fond of it realy

[onyx depot]

takes skye into the woods for a good headpatting

[hasty dagger]

It was nice (open area) but not for me

[hasty dagger]

[late creek]

i just got nikita voice are the english voicelines locked to usec

[loud raptor]

I liked it but there was rarely a match in it

[hasty dagger]

Usec have different voice of Nikita, same goes for Bear

[late creek]

Ok

[hasty dagger]

But Bear felt much nicer to hear compare to Usec tbh

[loud raptor]

So you can say eat bags of dicks

[late creek]

now i can roleplay as bsg benevolent leader

[hasty dagger]

When I first heard that, I almost started crying, lmao

[loud raptor]

that or the « I kinda like it I don’t know »

[hasty dagger]

lol

Can´t wait to voice "Eat bag of dicks" to BD squad, lmao

I have 6 keycards, I need to finally escape.. ffs

[cosmic patrol]

Some voicelines are decent on BEAR, like the one that wants you to speak russian iirc. I just remember it being "hello, goodbye, pycckii cyka!" or something

[cosmic patrol]

How many runs have ya done

[hasty dagger]

Like 10, lmao 😄 But my first ending took like 12 to 13 tries

Don´t know why.. but I am getting claped by BD

My second ending took like 3 tries, lol.. 🙁

[cosmic patrol]

Wow. I mean, i havent escaped yet and done 22 or so. Prolly gonna smoothly go thru other endings unless I FALL THROUGH THE FUCKING MAP AGAIN

[hasty dagger]

[peak coral]

can you do all the endings or do you have to pick just one

[hasty dagger]

I got BSOD on my second ending, that was horrible 😄

[peak coral]

im still doing other story quests

[cosmic patrol]

u can do all if u wipe

[late creek]

im gonna hop into streets and spam voicelines at kaban

[hasty dagger]

If you reset, you can do all

[peak coral]

rewards carry over after wipe?

[cosmic patrol]

Banger. I know one voiceline is just blyat

[cosmic patrol]

dogtag and armband yes iirc?

[hasty dagger]

Rewards no (money, weapons, boxes) no. Only armbad, dogtag, poster and hideout

And background*

[cosmic patrol]

do the different endings not have achievements for em? if not, then thats fucked

[uneven vapor]

Is there a reason why BTC just kinda vanish from my sicc?

[hasty dagger]

For PvE ? No, lmao

For PvP ? Hell yes

[hasty dagger]

Suckysuck happen to ya

[uneven vapor]

I legit just had 4 from a labs run, I get out of raid and theres only 3...

[hasty dagger]

Nikita didn´t liked your fourth btc, lol

[uneven vapor]

I mean likely not

But fuck em, I want my btc lol

[hasty dagger]

:DD

[uneven vapor]

So I take it there's no actual reason this happens?

Just Tarky being Tarky

[hasty dagger]

Yep, that´s a Tarkov magic for ya

[uneven vapor]

Ofc its only with BTC too

Bastards

[hasty dagger]

[cosmic patrol]

what the FUCK. We get achievement for SHOOTING FUCKING DUCK FIGURINES but not for different endings

[hasty dagger]

Yep, it´s a lame, but what can we do.. right ?

They hate PvE from the start

lmao

[uneven vapor]

I find it kinda surreal how much bro hates his community

[hasty dagger]

[cosmic patrol]

im deleting those for safety

[hasty dagger]

Fuck Nikita

[cosmic patrol]

I bet id get fucking muted by one of the community managers

[hasty dagger]

Ain´t deleting shit

[worthy otter]

He clearly doesn’t hate it or he wouldn’t have made the mode in the first place yall are just being crybabies

[cosmic patrol]

I am crying for a reason this time

I WANT ACHIEVEMENTS MAAAAN

[hasty dagger]

I am gonna cry, let me be a baby once again

[drowsy juniper]

there is PVE zone achievements, specifically for it, but they are not granted in PVE itself due to them being hidden

the PVE zone achievements exist

just a BSG oversight

[worn finch]

I mean he has openly stated that he wishes he hadnt made it and held a poll a couple weeks ago asking if he should remove PvE entirely iirc 😂
So he absolutely does hate PvE mode, but that doesnt bother me

[cosmic patrol]

"let me be a baby once" you were born a fucking conscious 20 year old with a job

straight to work from the hospital

[cosmic patrol]

😐

thats fucked

[drowsy juniper]

PVE zone achievements were granted for ending in PVP at the start as well lol, they got both

made support aware but they dont care

[worthy otter]

He is fully aware of how many users are playing PVE and has been giving it more and more content as time goes on, people are just impatient and entitled

[cosmic patrol]

The poll was purely a joke lmfao. Even I remember that. He said "nevermind." or something right after

[cosmic patrol]

... valid

[onyx depot]

agreed

[worn finch]

Why do people overuse the word "entitled" so much?...
We aren't asking for free shit 😂
We are paying customers who find it weird that we always get content late for some reason

[worn finch]

Oh yeah absolutely a joke
But the joke only works because he has made it clear he dislikes PvE mode xD

[onyx depot]

totally agreed.. it is ultimately a paid service

[cosmic patrol]

May be him disliking it, sure. But atleast we have a fucking pve mode

[worthy otter]

Then you should be talking about that content that you want access to instead of talking shit and saying how the head hates the project, make actual constructive comments

[cosmic patrol]

I dont care much if he dislikes it or likes it now. We got a PvE mode, but I just like to cope hard on bullshit

[onyx depot]

its pretty obvious he doesnt like it given his previous sentiments

[worn finch]

I didn't talk any shit 😂
I literally just pushed back on you saying he didnt dislike it? Which he has stated that he does

[drowsy juniper]

pretty sure he made a statement on tarkov tv talking about the hate for PVE and how its wrong, paraphrasing, cant remember exact wording

[cosmic patrol]

that too

[worthy otter]

It made him a lot of money and increased the user base of his product, I can assure you he doesn’t hate it, he probably just hates the headache it’s causing from a development standpoint of having two versions of the game be worked on simultaneously

[cosmic patrol]

even nikita himself in the flesh doesnt understand PvE hate, so yeah

oh no

[drowsy juniper]

hahaha

knew that was coming

[cosmic patrol]

yuup

the oh no went perfectly

[onyx depot]

probably.. it comes across as a strong dislike. There are hundreds if not thousands of posts/comments about him disliking the mode (13 Oct 2024 — In a new interview, Escape From Tarkov game director Nikita Buyanov has said that he does not like people playing the PvE game mode.)

[worthy otter]

Read my previous comment

[onyx depot]

i have

[lethal garnet]

people can change their opinion too
