[willow tinsel]

Guards didnt even aggro me

[wild frost]

was it local or bsg raid

[willow tinsel]

BSG raid

Bug? for sure

[wild frost]

U have dspt eqipped then when you did the kill

[willow tinsel]

i had it in my stash, i was wondering why it was still encoded and asked here, and so someone told me that oneshotting was the case

anyhow, i wouldnt bet on taking it with me either way if i try to do it again

[finite tide]

how many updates are they doing

[jovial cobalt]

no more updates game all done

[finite tide]

i had like 2 today

[jovial cobalt]

wait for that one dev who just left BSG to make his own game called rush is real

[odd oak]

Why can’t I see my great heights quest in arena

[willow tinsel]

yea i would never do it again, the only reason and only time id do it was just to get snowball, and i was so ready and looking forward to make amends with lightkeeper again since i have no other sidequest to do atm, alas it was a mix of feeling of happiness and sadness

[finite tide]

what broke ive been able to progress story

[willow tinsel]

and i doubt Sriracha has anything i want anyway

[finite tide]

all my objs for every chapter say failed but iits letting me progress so seems like im not actually failing anything

[willow tinsel]

Ah, i didnt even know you could take his mask off, i thought itd bee like Shagilla where you cant even drag it out of his body

[timid tendon]

run #8 pmcs finally appear, and they run away in a sprint AWAY from the fortress when engaged at one of the doorways

[willow tinsel]

were they pathing into stronghold before they got sight of you?

[timid tendon]

yeah there was a dead scav about 2-5m from one of the doorways, i heard a voice line as he was looting it

so i went down to engage - as soon as he saw me in the doorway he just 180d and started sprinting

shot him in the back and it didn't count

hm i might try it at night, could be a play - cheers

there's currently 2 about 50m away at crates looking at me refusing to come in lol

[willow tinsel]

when i go cultist hunting, i actually see a bunch of them path into stronghold

but then again, when you need it, they wont come

[timid tendon]

now i've alt tabbed too much and there's a windows cursor in the middle of my game window lmao i'm being punished by the universe rn

[willow tinsel]

its as if they know you got the quest

[finite tide]

explosions?

god bosses fucking suck the fun out of this game

[abstract nymph]

If Nikita hates farmers like was said bedore, he should attempt to implement effects of lighting on the AI

[willow tinsel]

like Arma Zeus Lightning ?

[abstract nymph]

I meant that AI is affected by the lights on the map

I wrote it wrong 🤦‍♂️

[willow tinsel]

lol you good

[abstract nymph]

This will actually make the game tactical

[finite tide]

they are just so boring

its either hold a corner and they mindlessly push you

or get head tapped

[willow tinsel]

how many raids have you guys done overall

[timid tendon]

1170

[willow tinsel]

im on 1393 myself

in 1.0

[abstract nymph]

Holy

[willow tinsel]

oh no, total would be way more

trying to figure out the game in 2017 i prolly did a shitton

[timid tendon]

i only started jan this year, bless the wiki so much god
and that tarkov linus guy

[willow tinsel]

fr he looks like Linus Tech Tips

[timid tendon]

i saw it in a comment and i can't unsee it now

[willow tinsel]

i thought he waas first time i saw him

only when i looked in the comments that i realised it wasnt him

[abstract nymph]

I think everyone did

[willow tinsel]

glad im not alone

[abstract nymph]

And without the wiki, the game will be almost un-progressable

[elder bay]

whats the best way lvl up lmgs

[finite tide]

well yeah of course tagilla is piss easy i dont even count him as a boss

[abstract nymph]

Fqctory i think

[willow tinsel]

yea weekly tasks and dailies ggoes a long way, i only started doing it now after finishing all the sidequests and ending

[elder bay]

elaborate maybe

[abstract nymph]

I can understand that, i start on the start of February

[abstract nymph]

Kill people on factory

[rapid canopy]

Does anyone need help escaping terminal?

[timid tendon]

the game would be a lot better if the devs weren't losers who hide quest items in obscure locations in rooms all the time, god

[glossy hound]

wait since when has mechanic sold tricked out m4's with razors and ARE tubes lmao

[abstract nymph]

Yeah

[rapid canopy]

come join up, lets get you out

[willow tinsel]

did he? whats the difference now

[abstract nymph]

16 times? What?

[willow tinsel]

you gotta look at the big gaatee, not the actual door

if you want to open it through strength

if its the bomb, you have to set it on the actual door

[abstract nymph]

I thought there is nothing to do in the game after you completed the story, (in pve at least)

[glossy hound]

if the story is your entire goal i guess?

[abstract nymph]

Are there other goals?

[willow tinsel]

thee gate is like to the right of the door, you need to slide it open

[mystic trench]

Sometimes I get surprised by what's not a bolt-action. SVT caught me by surprise tonight but what a fine, fine rifle it is.

[glossy hound]

if you enjoy the gameplay loop there is always stuff to do. me? idgaf about the story, and only vaguely care about kappa. i enjoy the looting and shooting bits :P loot goblin mode

[mystic trench]

I'm sure many moons ago we were all fooled by the SKS.

[abstract nymph]

Fair

And btw, is it weird to be level 30 and only to find 1 marked room key THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH?

[glossy hound]

depends on if you're looking for them or not

[abstract nymph]

By looking you mean going to their spawns like woods bunker and etc? You can say that

[glossy hound]

what im saying is that it matters if you are intentionally trying to find them or just hoping to stumble across them while doing other things. there's stuff like rbk spawn and cultist bunker yeah, but also it's stuff like going out of your way for jackets or filing cabinets, or making sure to loot every scav you can

or hunting cultists/bosses

[abstract nymph]

Yeah

[glossy hound]

if you're doing stuff like that and have only found one by level 30? i'd say that's unusual. otherwise if you're mostly task/story-focused and only looting in the process of doing those, it wouldnt surprise me

[timid tendon]

rbk spawn?

[glossy hound]

rusted bloody key

[lethal garnet]

i got one

[timid tendon]

oh right, yes

[willow tinsel]

i posted the screenshot so you can see what gate i mean, but i suggest you clear the 2 - 5 BD at the explosive spawn anyway

[rapid canopy]

Does anyone need help escaping terminal?

[abstract nymph]

Btw, is the rbk guaranteed?

[glossy hound]

not at all. i think i saw somewhere it's like a 5% spawn chance in the mall

[willow tinsel]

yea, you kinda HAVE to clear them out as you dont know wether you need to repair the panel to the very left of you when you camp them at the boxes - otherwise if you proceed and need to repair that panel they will rush from their spawn and beam you

[abstract nymph]

To be honest, did not expect anything else

[willow tinsel]

oh no, they def spawn, they just hide at the very end behind a wall

its a must if you need to repair that one, its a skip if you dont need to

but better be safe than sorry and wait for another card craft

[jovial cobalt]

first attempts on the bomb gate squad i immediately got surrounded and died lol, because I took cover on the left side behind the armored vehicle; now every single time i take the right side of the alley, in the fenced area with wooden boxes, still not the best cover but that angle is powerful against the bd squad that will spawn on the right

and the second bd squad who spawn further ahead left i just fight them as they move around the tractor or whatever that construction equipment was

[willow tinsel]

this

[jovial cobalt]

taking a good angle is sooo important because if not then i just get surrounded and skewered

i remember a few times where the further BD squad would not push and they hid somewhere and kinda waited for me, it is always a lil bit different

[willow tinsel]

4x super squad, dang

[jovial cobalt]

LMAO

a few times when fighting the first squad right after the armory they were throwing so many damn grenades in the hallway i was taking cover in, i think some of them got TKed by the frags too

so immersive when everything is just exploding constantly

[willow tinsel]

yea they tend to actually bombard you if they get the chance

like mini artillery

at the BD keycard spawn, they threw a total of 12 grenades or so, right afteer each other

never in my lifetime did i think i'd be scared of a guy calmly saying his buddy died and proceed to beam the wall as if nothing happened

talking like an actual robot

[jovial cobalt]

so is it confirmed that BD is ai voices or like

is that just a me thing

yup i got nikita voice for both factions :D

switched to usec after i got savior ending literally just so i can use nikita usec voice for a bit

i think you can buy it now at least?

for some reason i kinda never really cared about that whole debacle

even as an eod owner since like 2018 lol

i think i've just witnessed so many dumb situations regarding bsg and eft that its all just normal to me

i remember when a lot of people were up in arms about having to reset PVE profile to access the main story lol but like 4-5 months later noone even thinks about it anymore

[willow tinsel]

oh man, i have a friend whos still in his 5 stages of grief after reset, good guy

[jovial cobalt]

i do kinda feel bad i reset my savior character but it must be done

and it's making me play the game in weird playstyles, i believe i'm going to do fallen run next as a hardcore character like no insurance or flea or traders where i can

[willow tinsel]

and i think, had it not been for him and his help, i prolly wouldve ditched the game halfway

but yea, better do it as soon as you can, the sooner the better

before you progress too much

[jovial cobalt]

ik a lot of people don't like resetting in tarkov but i feel like it's kinda a part of the gameplay loop now atleast to me

especially now that pvp seasonal will be a thing

[willow tinsel]

yea 100%, at the very start i wanted to do every ending, but after doing troubleshooting skill, it made me rethink of that choice

[jovial cobalt]

i cant be assed to grind skills anymore uagh

[willow tinsel]

and then i saw that i had to give 500m for one of the endings, ive obviously used my money without care but im nowhere near that, sitting currently back at 139m after spending 40 mil the other night

[jovial cobalt]

the 500m is steepp

im not too excited for that

[willow tinsel]

i mean, about 300m is doable but i think you get a discount for that when you give prapor the case or something

shit i dont even wanna think about it

[finite tide]

did they change ai or something cause im getting a shit ton of nade kills

[jovial cobalt]

i feel like they are often secretly tweaking ai

[willow tinsel]

yea, i think if you dont ever use money for grinding crafting skill carelessly through flea market it should be alright, but i like my skills on elite if possible

or other similar skills that burns through money

and if i actually sold all my stuff, prolly would be up there at the 500m, but i like my FiR stuff and hoard things that i would never use - i just buy the stuff on flea and use those instead

[jovial cobalt]

i think i met lightkeeper before level 30 on this profile

gave case to prapor and everything

[willow tinsel]

Like marked keys for example, i have a whole keycase filled with that, if i wanted to use dorms, you better believe i buy those keys off of flea instead of using my FIR ones

[distant obsidian]

yeah and the earth is flat.

[willow tinsel]

goodmorning Tyreall

[distant obsidian]

I leave you guys alone for most of a day and you let people like this in. I am disappointed lol. Hey Rhys

dude is typing another tinfoil hat book

stop, no one cares and your probably wrong anyways. dont bother

I aint reading all that

[finite tide]

ignore tyreall hes the server douche bag

[distant obsidian]

only to the stupid.

[jovial cobalt]

lol

coming to ruin the fun

why do you have to take everything so seriously man

[distant obsidian]

Yeah I ruin everyone fun

[finite tide]

its what happens youre chronically online

[jovial cobalt]

i mean i am too lol

[glossy hound]

okay so the performance issues i ran into on reserve yesterday seem to definitely be reserve-specific, and start after the airdrop

airdrop came just as i was leaving rb-vo, and almost immediately the stuttering started lol. this time thankfully i was close enough to the transit so i was able to just nope out instead of having to fight it

this was like 5min into the raid so

oh god lmao spawned into woods near abandoned village, and it's cultist hours. for once i dont want to find them

[abstract nymph]

Why did you do a 5 hour raid?

5 hours? Jesus

That is still a lot

I thinks someone done it in an hour and 47 minutes

Ohh you need to survive all maps

[distant obsidian]

just kill a couple of scavs

you dont need to wait 7 mins

[abstract nymph]

Yeah ik

But i thought the ram is getting cleaned after transit, isn't it?

Make sense, beta was not fun at all

Uh? 132?

[half anvil]

132gb

wat

[abstract nymph]

Why do you have that much ram?

[half anvil]

how do you have that particular number

[abstract nymph]

For how much?

[dark zealot]

Ong 132 gb

[abstract nymph]

I use paging on 32 and i am fine

132.... Holy

[dark zealot]

Got 4 33 gb sticks

[abstract nymph]

How much were they?

[finite tide]

dude shoreline fucking sucks

[half anvil]

i'm glad i got 64gb back in 2024. paid $200 for a kit that goes for ~1000 now.

[finite tide]

love getting shot at from who knows where and not having any where to take cover

and of course it was the fucking goons

[distant obsidian]

so then move with hard cover around

[finite tide]

bosses have ruined this game

[abstract nymph]

Do you use goon tracker?

[distant obsidian]

[finite tide]

tyreall fuck off

[finite tide]

no people have said goons arent moving maps

[distant obsidian]

yuo need to play the map as if they are up

[abstract nymph]

Who told tou that?

[glossy hound]

goon tracker doesnt work right now, atm they spawn on any of their maps without a rotation

[distant obsidian]

dont walk into the open if you have no idea if the boss is up, keep hard cover near

[abstract nymph]

Really?

Since when?

[glossy hound]

unless they fixed/changed it with this latest patch, yes

[distant obsidian]

about a month

[abstract nymph]

Did not knew that, that's a bug?

[finite tide]

i tried but they gunned me down

[distant obsidian]

so next time play like they are up

[abstract nymph]

They goons are hard bosses

[glossy hound]

where were you?

[finite tide]

goons are legit the worse boss in this game they are just cancer

[jovial cobalt]

who knows

[distant obsidian]

like scouting for bosses and moving accordingly is a core thing in the game

[half anvil]

i need to go hunt big pipe to finish kappa

[finite tide]

shitline

[glossy hound]

they can be difficult at a distance, but if you can force them in close you can burn them down pretty easily

[distant obsidian]

yeah goon are easy as long as you dont get caught in the open

[hot nimbus]

Just turned in my 40 bitcoins that was a pain in the ass

[distant obsidian]

even then just get to hard cover.

[abstract nymph]

On customs thet are easier to kill than most maps

[glossy hound]

ah yeah, i basically just avoid the entire area around the weather station

[finite tide]

hard to when i spawn pretty much next to it

[glossy hound]

for sure

[distant obsidian]

they partol from smuggler camp to weather

[glossy hound]

oof that's rough

[finite tide]

not looking forward to doing that shit again

they arent even fun difficult just bs difficult

[abstract nymph]

On open maps yes, on other maps they are pretty fun

[distant obsidian]

they are fun

def some of the most fun bosses to fight

[hot nimbus]

It wasn't so bad I already had like 21 of them before I started farming labs for em took me all day today though to get the rest
Was worth it though I'm up 30m now

[glossy hound]

lol ill never forget when Birdeye decided that physics were for other people and floated up a rock to onetap me

[abstract nymph]

I had a friend with me at lighthouse where we spawned right next to them, we just crawled away from them because we couldn't engage them

[distant obsidian]

most bosses are such a cake walk, its nice to have at least a little difficulty in a boss with the goons

[jovial cobalt]

lol

[glossy hound]

yeah especially since there is always a delay in their turning when they round corners

[distant obsidian]

power slide slows them down. Kinda line an animation lock

[abstract nymph]

+1

[toxic patio]

Goons are fun only if you see them first

[distant obsidian]

i find them boring if I see them first.

its when they get the jump on me that, then it gets exciting

[half anvil]

yeah getting tarkoved from 200 metres by birdeye is super fun

[abstract nymph]

After all of the time i died from them i am not even mad

[distant obsidian]

i mean if your bad that happens yeah

[abstract nymph]

But i never got into a position when it was unfair

[half anvil]

usually not, but i did get merked 3 seconds into a raid by him one time.

[finite tide]

i wish fighting goons was better tbh its not very fun to sit in a corner and let them mindlessly push you while you mow them down id rather have actual strategy and tactics used when fighting them

[abstract nymph]

It's either this or you use the ak-50 to one shot them

Or you have a clear line of sight

[distant obsidian]

its jsut scouting for htem and knowing where htey could be

listening for gun shots and what guns are shooting

if you hear fighting in the direction your moving to, move around hard cover and dont run inthe open like a timmy

[lapis blade]

Finding this transponder is so annoying 😭

[abstract nymph]

100%, everytine i hear a suppressed weapon i get into tactical mode thinking it's them

[lapis blade]

I feel like the goons are hard gatekeeping it from me because I get to chalet and big pipe nukes me

[finite tide]

for lk?

[lapis blade]

Yuh

[finite tide]

not in my experience they just mindlessly push me and die

that honestly my issue with alot of bosses in this game they either aim bot you or mindlessly push you and die

and idk not very fun when eiither i get head tapped instantly or the kill is so piss easy

[abstract nymph]

First of all, this is what they are programmed to do, I don't see any other way this could work

And some of them actually suprise sneak you as well

[willow tinsel]

Youll transcend from Timmy to Gigachad someday @finite tide, itll take some raids, but youll learn the AI pattern

[finite tide]

iim not a timmy tho

all this game needs is stalker ai

[abstract nymph]

And by that you mean?

[glossy hound]

landmark is one of those guys lol

dude's aim is just so good

[finite tide]

good ai

[jovial cobalt]

a-life in tarkov lol

[willow tinsel]

you meaan like A-Life stalker like AI ?

[jovial cobalt]

that would be neat

[willow tinsel]

I dont think thats gonna happen

but we can hope

[abstract nymph]

Would you mind explaining this to me?

[willow tinsel]

I mean, this kind of AI mostly takes advantage of Open world like game, where if you travel from one place to the other, AI will still behave as if they need to survive, even if they are not rendered in

[abstract nymph]

Make sense

[glossy hound]

i love when the game crashes as im loading, so i just have to hope im not instantly dead

[willow tinsel]

So, for example, you could be in one corner of the map, shit is still goingg down on the other side of the map regardless if youre there or not

And they behave like a human would, with needs

[abstract nymph]

I don't think the game is still running in PvE If you crash

[misty garnet]

the ai is intresting in this game

[willow tinsel]

And witth greater situational awareness

[glossy hound]

it is if you're doing a bsg server raid

[abstract nymph]

This one i agree

[abstract nymph]

Oh

[finite tide]

they are brain dead if thats what you mean

[proud pebble]

I wish AI would act like they did quests or have quest items sometimes or random shit in their inv

[abstract nymph]

They are not that bad

[misty garnet]

yes and tanky some times

[finite tide]

too tanky

[willow tinsel]

Like if you camp, and eat, stalker AI wwill actually crouch and try to kill you with a knife, silently trying to kill you if thats the only option they have

[glossy hound]

huh, TIL

[misty garnet]

i watched an ai pmc my buddy was shooting at take 12 shots of 7.62x51 bs gs

[finite tide]

i seen scavs do that too

[abstract nymph]

I get that only when i have ping

[glossy hound]

sometimes the hit registration decides to go on vacation methinks

[misty garnet]

i hope one day they re do the ai and make it smarter so its harder to beat them

[abstract nymph]

This is why it's the best to play locally

[glossy hound]

i agree

[abstract nymph]

I think they will

[finite tide]

they wont

[abstract nymph]

When they will work on the dlc they will 100% do at least something

[finite tide]

everytime bsg touches the ai they either get dumber or their aim bot gets better

[glossy hound]

lets gooooo i spawned in a building at the edge of the map so i didnt die before i could load in lmao

[abstract nymph]

Give me Ai reaction to lighting and i will shut my mouth about the AI for ages

[abstract nymph]

Map?

[glossy hound]

reserve

[abstract nymph]

Why on BSG servers tho?

[glossy hound]

to see if it stops that stutter. dont think it will, but cant know until i try

[misty garnet]

i only have 365 hours so im still a little timmy i mean tegilla gave me a run for my money before i i learned to actually shoot

[abstract nymph]

Oh you have performance issues?

[willow tinsel]

the interesting thing about Alife is, they value their life as if you would value your own life, food, water, the amount of people they have around them, threats all come into play, their behaviour changes according to their actual situation

[glossy hound]

99% of the time, no. but since yesterday, on reserve only, i get stuttering that starts after the airdrop and gets progressively worse from there

[abstract nymph]

With how RAM intensive tarkov is now, this will need a lot of tweaking to be implemented correctly

[abstract nymph]

What are your specs?

[finite tide]

i wish ai wasnt tanky like they advertise realistic combat but scavs will tank and entire mag of 5.56

[abstract nymph]

Of what round?

[glossy hound]

4070 super, 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5

[abstract nymph]

Oh, that's weird

[misty garnet]

how are you running worse then me

[abstract nymph]

Using dlss?

[glossy hound]

most of the time i run perfectly fine. as i said, it just started yesterday, and only happens on reserve

[misty garnet]

my pc runs on hopes and prayers

[willow tinsel]

Thats true, even Stalker 2 couldnt fully implement the Alife they had in their first stalker game, it is actually peak AI

[misty garnet]

32gb of ram rx 7600 amd ryzen 5 7600

[abstract nymph]

If you use warmaggedon when someone has a vest of course this would happen

[misty garnet]

im barely in minimum specs btw

[abstract nymph]

So why are you running bad?

This is not that bad

[misty garnet]

i run fine im just asking how aury is running that bad on his pc

[misty garnet]

i think its just tarkov

[abstract nymph]

@glossy hound try to run msi afterburner and see what part of the computer spikes when the airdrops spawn

[misty garnet]

cause my buddy has a rtx 5080 and he barely gets the same fps as me

[abstract nymph]

They only thing keeping me for playing is using dlss

[abstract nymph]

On how much are you running

[misty garnet]

i dont remember let me check with msi

[abstract nymph]

On the last month i never got one stutter

Hahah

[misty garnet]

gonna run a balanced map like interchange plus i need scav kills there

[bronze saddle]

oh nice im lvl60 now which unlocked a PK task for me to do and jesus fuck what the actual fuck this mofo is asking TOO much

[abstract nymph]

I get on interchange between 80 - 140 on i9-9900k rtx 4060 32gb ddr4 on high

[misty garnet]

nice

[bronze saddle]

aside from other electronic items which thankfully i have multiple in my stash, this dumbass wants 5 CODFMs!! i wasted 2 whole ass D2 keys (forgot its name) to grind 4 of those things for Mechanic and this guy wants 5? fuck off

[abstract nymph]

It is nice thanks to dlss, my cpu is almost 10 years old

[willow tinsel]

feels

[abstract nymph]

I run it on balanced

[misty garnet]

i get 85 to 145 with fsr 3.0 on at 1440p

[abstract nymph]

That's great

[bronze saddle]

wait NO!! wtf man its aggravating when the game crashes as the countdown goes down... thank fuck it wasnt a server based map.... THIS is one of the main reasons i hate server based maps

[wild frost]

is terminal hard

I only have 20 lvl for both str and end on this wipe

[bronze saddle]

people say its aids

[misty garnet]

oh wait i was in borderless let me try in fullscreen

[abstract nymph]

Are you even close to terminal

[abstract nymph]

You get more fps on fullscreen?

[bronze saddle]

bro i read Borderlands lol

[wild frost]

lightkeeper gave me the card

and wants me to be at the entrance

[abstract nymph]

I never touch that settings in tarkov, it fucks it up

[abstract nymph]

That early? What?

[willow tinsel]

Based brain translation

[abstract nymph]

Did you speedrun the questlines?

[misty garnet]

lol i have 84k hours between bl1 to bl4

[lapis blade]

Is there a place the transponder for LK spawns more frequently than the other spawns? I've done like 4 runs and haven't found it

[wild frost]

kinda

[misty garnet]

about the same

[abstract nymph]

But it's really good

[wild frost]

I just finished return the favor

[bronze saddle]

noice you have more hours than me in Gmod lol

[abstract nymph]

If you actually did, i applaude you

I waited for level 30 to finish tour because i couldn't find labs keycard

[bronze saddle]

i have EXACTLY 9000 hours in Gmod

[misty garnet]

never played gmod is it good ?

[wild frost]

do i use vudu or RDS/Holo for terminal on the gun

[bronze saddle]

only if you have friends or are you using it to create videos i guess

also the achievements are impossible

[misty garnet]

ah i think i have friends who play it not sure tho

[abstract nymph]

I think i use the Round red one (think its smisch and bender)

[bronze saddle]

last i played it was YEARS ago

im closing to max the revolvers skill hurray lol

[abstract nymph]

I have 11k in FiveM 😶‍🌫️

[willow tinsel]

Id use Razor, if you have NVG's on, the crosshair doesnt blind you as much, and i honestly think its the best scope

[bronze saddle]

MT255

[wild frost]

no holo or rds? they spawn far or close

[abstract nymph]

Both

[willow tinsel]

They can spawn far, somee spawns close

But its not like Razor zooms in like crazy, still acts like a 1x if you dont zoom in

[lapis blade]

If anyone wouldn't mine helping, I did check the wiki for the spawns but still having issues

[abstract nymph]

What did the wiki said?

[bronze saddle]

fucking campers jesus fuck sanitar yo usuck

[lapis blade]

It has 20 different spawns, I been looking in the spots but can't find it

[spiral pecan]

Looking at the fanart channel reminds me why some people don’t need free will

[bronze saddle]

not dead

[lapis blade]

I'm not sure if it's a bug or maybe its just not spawning in my raid

[abstract nymph]

Do you need encoded or decoded?

[finite tide]

sanitar is a little shit head

[lapis blade]

I need the transponder itself

[finite tide]

whys that?

[bronze saddle]

1hp and armor zeroed... ill get these cunts

[spiral pecan]

#fan-art message this…

[finite tide]

its art

[spiral pecan]

5.45x39 PPBS incoming

[bronze saddle]

WAIT WHY IS SANITAR ATTACKING SCACVS??

[spiral pecan]

Idk about that one

[finite tide]

its art

[abstract nymph]

I am in the wiki and i didn't saw the spawns

[distant obsidian]

My shits are art then as well

[abstract nymph]

Quick question, for how long insurance holds until it's expires?

I won't be home the entire week

[spiral pecan]

LMAOO

[finite tide]

tyreall youre so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece

[abstract nymph]

Wdym depends on game version

It depends on edition?

[spiral pecan]

You mean Tylenol or Trye anal? Idk who tyreall is

[abstract nymph]

I gave standard

Have*

I will be home by Wednesday

[distant obsidian]

WHy are you stalking me.

[bronze saddle]

man Sanitar sure moans a lot when wounded...

[finite tide]

stalking?

[distant obsidian]

its like machine gun kelly over here. Insult me in a line then complment me on the next LOL

[finite tide]

he likes the pain

[spiral pecan]

Thanks for the information

[distant obsidian]

anyways, im with you meat. Not everything is art

[finite tide]

i have never once complimented you and never will

[distant obsidian]

you jsut did

[spiral pecan]

Why?

[finite tide]

did not

[abstract nymph]

According to Google, six days on therapist

[spiral pecan]

Are you bipolar

[distant obsidian]

this person is probably going to get them selves banned eventually. All they do is insult me. Lots of rule 1 breaking going on.

[spiral pecan]

Ai likes to lie if thats what your using

The little ai summary thingy abingy

[finite tide]

you do the same so cant wait to see you get banned to

[abstract nymph]

Hope it's not

[distant obsidian]

dont google tarkov, it pulls data from reddit, that shit is nothing but bad info

[lapis blade]

2:30 am and y'all are bickering like 2 siblings trying to split food, no your slice is bigger than mine ahh argument

[spiral pecan]

Nothing but facts here

[spiral pecan]

Theres different countries and timezones

[distant obsidian]

If I am, then report me to modmail. Im building my case against you as we speak.

[finite tide]

isnt the internet great

[lapis blade]

Doesn't make what I said any less true 😂

[finite tide]

lol cool

[distant obsidian]

you do nothing but insult me everytime you are on. You should really just stop.

[abstract nymph]

Do you know maybe?

[distant obsidian]

talk about tarkov on teh tarkov discord

[willow tinsel]

[distant obsidian]

about? I might

[lapis blade]

So what I hearing is.. mmmmmeeeatttttt riderrr

[finite tide]

you stop too then

[abstract nymph]

For how long insurance can be holded?

[spiral pecan]

Zero I’m taking it all

[distant obsidian]

depends on your game edition. I think its like 36 hours for everyone, EOD gets like weeks or something

[spiral pecan]

Are you trying to get free storage space or what

[abstract nymph]

If it's 36 I'm cooked

[distant obsidian]

yeah its not to long

[abstract nymph]

I will not be home for 4 days

[spiral pecan]

You’re fucked

[abstract nymph]

I remember this being longer

[distant obsidian]

it might be..

youll know in 4 days lol

let us know when 😄

ok, back to crimson desert.

[abstract nymph]

Wiki says 96hrs

[distant obsidian]

then its correct

[vale atlas]

I think you get a couple of days and then a 36 hour timer pops up

I've only noticed the 36 hour timer after i've let shit sit there for a while lol

[abstract nymph]

Therapist is 144

I'm good than

[vale atlas]

Worst comes to worst you lose your gear, its pve you'll get it back in no time

[willow tinsel]

what, i didnt know insurance had a difference

you learn something new everyday

[vale atlas]

prapor is jetsetholiday insurance, bare minimum, slow.

[spiral pecan]

Therapist on top prapor is a bitch

[abstract nymph]

Prapor doesn't worth it at all

[vale atlas]

Yeah all the homies insure with therapist

[abstract nymph]

I leveled up therapist only by insurance and one ledx

[finite tide]

i go with prapor cause im a greedy bastard

[abstract nymph]

If you are short on cash it's valid

[spiral pecan]

Greed always comes back to bite

Just wait son

[finite tide]

im not but a ruble saved is a ruble earned

[abstract nymph]

I cannot progress to 8 million because i am spending all on insurance

[finite tide]

mechanic is cool and ragman kinda

[abstract nymph]

Mechanic is nice

[spiral pecan]

Yo wtf did my boy rag man do

[abstract nymph]

Him and Jaeger (a bit)

[finite tide]

fuck jager

i hate that guy

[abstract nymph]

Why?

[spiral pecan]

Jaegers is a evil sadistic bitch for making players do his tasks

[abstract nymph]

This, yes

[finite tide]

his quest

[willow tinsel]

i kinda like it

[abstract nymph]

I am talking about they way they treat you

[spiral pecan]

Ok masochist

[abstract nymph]

And his tasks are challenging

It's nice

[willow tinsel]

[finite tide]

hes cool but still fuck him for his tasks

[abstract nymph]

[spiral pecan]

I will never forget jaeger the god of light

[abstract nymph]

To be honest, he barely helps me in terms of trades so i bother with them only when i am bored

Wow

[spiral pecan]

Drip requires sacrifices

[abstract nymph]

Lol

[spiral pecan]

Ragmans valid

[finite tide]

i need him level 3 for water level 3

[abstract nymph]

I run on one water bottle the entire game

[finite tide]

i need super water for beer

[willow tinsel]

Ragman is a brother

[abstract nymph]

I stil have him and peacekeeper on level 1

[finite tide]

ok those 2 quests suck

[abstract nymph]

I will agree to disagree

[finite tide]

but the rest of his quests arent that bad

the what lol

[spiral pecan]

Ragman and mechanic superiority

[abstract nymph]

Who do you guys hate the most?

[spiral pecan]

Prapor

[abstract nymph]

Mine is skier tbh

[spiral pecan]

Backstabbing balding bitch

[finite tide]

jager

[abstract nymph]

WHY DO I NEED TO PAY YOU TO WORK FOR YOU

[finite tide]

for game play prapor for lore reason

[willow tinsel]

Prapor is greedy as hell, same with Skier, the way he talks to you makes me wanna magdump the guy

[abstract nymph]

This was known from the beginning tbh

Ref is better treating than skirt

Skier*

[spiral pecan]

Bsg chop chop new idea

[abstract nymph]

Kill prapor questline

[spiral pecan]

Run over skier and prapor dlc

[abstract nymph]

Hahaha

Fence is also nice a bit

I have done theta so

[willow tinsel]

Nah Fence is actually cool, once you get his rep up he'll talk nice to you

[abstract nymph]

Remind me what is savior?

[abstract nymph]

I am stuck on 38

You sacrifice tarkov?

[willow tinsel]

No, Savior, you save Tarkov

[abstract nymph]

So why is he mad about it?

[willow tinsel]

Because he profits from Tarkov

[abstract nymph]

Fair

Hahaha

[finite tide]

is that a monty python reference lol

[abstract nymph]

Poor fence, only wants his scavs to play nice

I won't blame him

[finite tide]

fence cant suck a fucking dick

[glossy hound]

...is that not how doordash works? :o

[abstract nymph]

Also btw, what is the best way to do fence rep beside scav raids? Because sometimes pmc's looks like scavs

[vale atlas]

it is how some people work though lol

[abstract nymph]

Hahha

[vale atlas]

I've had drivers get real weird with some drops lol

[abstract nymph]

[finite tide]

car extracts i think

[willow tinsel]

you can get to 4+ fence rep no problem with just car extracts

but if you want fence level 4 trader, you ggotta grind a lil

[vale atlas]

"No problem" as if the woods extract is ever active

I've managed to get out of that one once in 3 months lol

[abstract nymph]

Extracts and co-ops

[finite tide]

takes so much time tho and im lazy

[willow tinsel]

it do be a little RNG, but atleast you wont have to play as a scav and live through 2 maps to grind

[abstract nymph]

Time to grind ground zero

[vale atlas]

I stopped transitioning with scavs earlier, hit a 10 minute timer trying to get to streets (My hand was forced lol)

[willow tinsel]

you have to if you want savior

only +4 rrep, i dont mean level 4 Fence

[abstract nymph]

Subsequent extractions are calculated by '0.2 / total uses, plus current' e.g. the 4th extraction is '0.2/4 = 0.05' (displayed rounded in-game). Each location has its own count.

[finite tide]

i know i know

[abstract nymph]

I am 0.38 on level 30

[vale atlas]

In the UK doordash is pretty good about fucky drivers lol. I've had a few who would claim that "X items werent there" even though i was billed for it, and the bag has clearly been opened etc. I've had others say they're not gonna drop the food off unless i send a big tip etc.

I just snitch on them to doordash

[willow tinsel]

dw, you got it, i have been in worse rep, waaaaay worse

we arre talking about minus rep

[vale atlas]

Weren't you the -8 guy lol

[willow tinsel]

nah, i was the -4.84

[vale atlas]

i knew there was an 8 somewhere

[finite tide]

are you talking about the arena quest line?

[abstract nymph]

You can get to minus???

[willow tinsel]

You can indeed get minus

[vale atlas]

You can, i dont recommend it lol

[abstract nymph]

Arena is theta

Did now knew that

How do you get to minus 4

[willow tinsel]

But that was only because i had Mark of The Unheard on me while i was blastting scavs and bosses

[vale atlas]

😂

[abstract nymph]

You did the marathon as a scav?

[finite tide]

i know but dont you give your epsilon to one of the traders for theta

[willow tinsel]

So i started blasting

[vale atlas]

Jebaited by nikita

[abstract nymph]

No

You don't give your case

[finite tide]

oh wait im and idiot nvm

[abstract nymph]

I betrayed ref, but i think that's a mistake because i need to play arena to level him up to 4

[willow tinsel]

yea, and i sat there and was like ''huh, it keeps going down, thats weird'' proceeds to blast more scavs next raid

[abstract nymph]

Haha

[vale atlas]

Yeah i got myself to -1.something on my last visit to tarkov. I thought that was bad enough lol

[willow tinsel]

i think my car extracts costed me over the 5 digit roubles

[vale atlas]

I just wanted to wear the fancy "special edition" thing i thought i got as a bonus for buying the bullshit edition of the game lol

it sounded like it would make life easier

[willow tinsel]

dude, thats actually why i wore it, i thought it looked cool and all

[abstract nymph]

Let's hope the dlc will improve it (if it will release lol)

[vale atlas]

😂

[willow tinsel]

since then, it has sat in my scav case and collected dust

never ever to be used again, i might have to seal it somewhere safer

like a bad omen for me

[vale atlas]

its been so long since i've seen mine i'm not sure if its even still in my stash lol

Oh i might have tucked it away on a mannequin like i did with epsilon

[willow tinsel]

omg yes, i should do that to save space for actual useful items

[vale atlas]

in my defense it could just be there somewhere normally my stash is a nightmare atm

[glossy hound]

lol shturman and his guards still mag dump the btr on sight

[abstract nymph]

Isn't all stashes

[willow tinsel]

So i take it you didnt hand over your Epsilon to Fence

[abstract nymph]

Why?

[finite tide]

god i love the nikita voice lines

[glossy hound]

who knows

[vale atlas]

I had it all set up OCD style back when it was just item cases and scav junk boxes

but i kept getting worse

[abstract nymph]

Easy loot?

[lethal garnet]

it’s night time

[vale atlas]

I had like 8 free rows earlier and i have the max possible space lol

[finite tide]

nuh uh

[glossy hound]

btr doesnt shoot back

[abstract nymph]

Why?

What?

[reef furnace]

Opinion on my resident evil-like build for the MCX
#screenshots message

[glossy hound]

it only cares if you shoot at it

[abstract nymph]

This game makes no sense sometimes

[lethal garnet]

btr definitely shoots back

[abstract nymph]

Looks sick

[glossy hound]

not at npcs

[finite tide]

very nice

[abstract nymph]

What's the stats?

[vale atlas]

Looks cool but i cannot forgive you for the optic

We all remember having to use it in test drive

[lethal garnet]

that is true, ai shoot that thing endlessly

[vale atlas]

None of us wanted to

[abstract nymph]

Good lord i haven't done it yet

[reef furnace]

45.7 ergo (with the 40 rounder), 73 v-recoil, 201 h-recoil, 3.36 MOA

[vale atlas]

I think they removed that requirement luckily lol

[abstract nymph]

Nice

[vale atlas]

They changed something about it that made it easier anyway

after i finished it ofc

[reef furnace]

It's a personal touch eheh

Kinda feel in love with it the moment I saw it

[vale atlas]

Really? i couldn't get past how much space it took up on the screen

Felt unwieldy compared to basically every other option lol

i need my peripheral vision

[reef furnace]

Understandable

[finite tide]

whats wrong with the optic?

[reef furnace]

It occupies too much space in his perspective

[abstract nymph]

Too bit

Big*

[digital wyvern]

Does Partizan go after you more if you camp?

[abstract nymph]

It goes as long as he spots you

He*

[distant obsidian]

no

[willow tinsel]

I cant actually confirm that, but i truly believe he either just spawns or not, could be wrong tho

[abstract nymph]

1.1?

[glossy hound]

#screenshots message bruh

[finite tide]

whats the quest i give him the epsilon

[odd oak]

Just jump higher

[reef furnace]

The level of aggro doesn't change

Could be fun if it was the case

Like the more you "rat" the more he targets you

[distant obsidian]

thats pmc karma, not a thing in pve

[reef furnace]

Ik but could be a thing if BSG were to give some love to PVE

[finite tide]

? whats the quest tho

[digital wyvern]

if BSG were to give some love to PVE
So never gonna happen.

[distant obsidian]

pve get more love then pvp.

[reef furnace]

Like imagine having an encounter with AI pmcs and instead of shooting you they ask you for help with a random task/event on the map (if they are on your faction of course)

[vale atlas]

Tagged you in an explanation in screenshot channel lol, took me a while to find an example

[finite tide]

that requires work bsg is too lazy for that

[reef furnace]

And if you kill those AI pmcs that consider you an ally you lose karma and partizan starts hunting you

[reef furnace]

Uhhh

[abstract nymph]

PvE is not that bad

[distant obsidian]

pve get the majority of changes

we get all the tarkov changes, then we get our own set of changes

[abstract nymph]

PvP is the main gamemode, but PvE is fairly adjusted

[abstract nymph]

This is how it's supposed to work

[distant obsidian]

its how it does work

[abstract nymph]

Ik

[vale atlas]

I'm surprised they changed the co-op extract stuff for it lol. I didn't think they were going to bother doing any of those kinds of changes after the whole... secure perimeter/gendarme type missions that forced you to lure pmc ai to areas

[abstract nymph]

What did they change?

[finite tide]

bro what is up with this game my friend keeps getting errors when we load into a scav raid

[vale atlas]

but then they went and made that better too, its been a jarring update

[distant obsidian]

those have been issues for awhile, eventually they were going to change it

[vale atlas]

You used to get daily missions that demanded you used co-op extracts

[abstract nymph]

Oh

[distant obsidian]

try getting your info post 2023

[vale atlas]

You'd have to reroll them if you wanted to do the daily and that cost rep + money

You could get co-op extract missions back to back lol

[distant obsidian]

nikita just want people to play tarkov, doesnt matter if its pvp or pve

[trail sail]

Wait do cultist target you as a scav if you have 6+ fence rep

[reef furnace]

Yeah

[abstract nymph]

I think they do either way

[reef furnace]

As they're not related to scavs in faction

[trail sail]

Can you kill them without losing rep or no

[reef furnace]

Yep

You can actually farm them as a scav

[trail sail]

Oh nice

[reef furnace]

Good luck tho, the priest guards mostly wear tier 5/6 armor

[trail sail]

I killed goons a few times when I was raising my rep

[reef furnace]

And we all know it's rare that your scav spawns with good ammo

[distant obsidian]

still only 50 head hp

[trail sail]

Yeah just gotta head tap

[reef furnace]

Yeah they don't drop your rep either

[distant obsidian]

good chance your scav can jsut head tap them all

[vale atlas]

my scav uses shotguns 90% of the time, cultist shredders

[reef furnace]

But for some reason AI scavs still get angry when you kill the goons or cultists

And BSG hasn't fixed that yet

[abstract nymph]

They count as bosses so

[trail sail]

I remember santa getting mad at me for killing rogues on LH

[reef furnace]

But they're technically not scavs

The goons could like, count as rogue bosses

[distant obsidian]

cultists are not scav faction

[abstract nymph]

BSG

[reef furnace]

Yeah that too

[distant obsidian]

fuck, i should get some sleep

[reef furnace]

They fire at AI scavs but not reshala and his peeps

BSG really needs to start separating boss categories

Imagine the goons fighting reshala

Interesting interaction

[distant obsidian]

they do

[reef furnace]

Fr?

[distant obsidian]

ive seen goons wipe rash

[reef furnace]

Never seen them do it, and the moment they spawn in my raids they actually team on me

[distant obsidian]

also seen birdeye get capped by a guard lol

[reef furnace]

Which luckily I survive most of the time

[reef furnace]

Lmfao

[trail sail]

I had cultist and goons team on me inside stronghold most stressful 5 minute stairs hold

[reef furnace]

Oh yeah that happened to me once

Ended up getting blown up by pipe using the GL

[vale atlas]

Stronghold gets everything but pmc's 😩

[trail sail]

Lmfao they keep going up the stairs one by one

[vale atlas]

Idk the numbers myself but its clearly quite popular

[distant obsidian]

no one knows the number

thats all pure speculation lol

im not going to get into a debate with some ai generated info like that.

[vale atlas]

delete that fast lol

[distant obsidian]

great, no one has real numbers

its tos

[vale atlas]

I mean, i just know pve appeals to people that weren't at all interested in the pvp parts of the game, the wipes and the other barriers in place were kind of offputting. I tried to get people into tarkov before lol

[distant obsidian]

yeah

just play which ever game mode you want

[vale atlas]

But it was one of those people that told me it was bringing out the pve mode, most of the others also now play it specifically for it

[distant obsidian]

iut aint that deep

[vale atlas]

Its got a draw

[distant obsidian]

yeah, tarkov is a great game. Being able to enjoy it at your own pace in pve does have a draw

been a great sucess for BSG. Win win

thats a lot of words, yet you said absolutly nothing

pve was never in the plans, it was clear a pve mode would be poplular, so they did a pve mode.

[vale atlas]

Without knowing much of the architecture we could assume pve splits development, but so does arena, that ones definitely a separate ecosystem though

[distant obsidian]

it aint that deep

[vale atlas]

Thats essentially it lol, there was a demand they supplied

[distant obsidian]

yeah

[vale atlas]

enough people were willing to give money

[abstract nymph]

PvE does not split development as much as people think

[distant obsidian]

that to

[plush panther]

what's the best use for intel folders?

[finite tide]

selling on flea

[abstract nymph]

Tasks

[vale atlas]

Yeah i dont htink there's much of a difference between the two, biggest issue is likely server slots lol

[abstract nymph]

Save them

[distant obsidian]

most of the work in pve went into syncing pve and pvp

now that we are synced, I imagine its more jsut development for tarkov as a whole. Not two teams

[vale atlas]

thats the ideal, you dont want to be updating separate builds if you dont have to

[distant obsidian]

mhm. 1.0 unified them.

all they really need to tweek on the pve side is just pmc ai. Otherwise nearly everything is the same

[abstract nymph]

To be honest, most people play locally

[distant obsidian]

we donthave the data to make that conclusion

[vale atlas]

Yup, but the ones that dont take up a whole server slot by themselves lol. Its probably not a huge problem but it definitely adds some load

[distant obsidian]

agree to disagreee on what? At no point do you ever form even a semblance of a point.

my god I am going to go to bed.

[vale atlas]

I'm kinda with tyrael there lol, Though i dont know what you two are actually debating about pve vs pvp i missed the intro

[abstract nymph]

Even if it does, PvE is a return on investment

[vale atlas]

I cant see better AI being a downgrade for the game myself

I'd love better ai, its current implementation (Knowing where you are at all times, tracking through walls etc) is one of my biggest pet peeves lol

[abstract nymph]

Not Chad, but at least less stupid

[vale atlas]

The main one is how they know you're looking at them from 300m away and decide to hide out of view, even if you haven't opened fire

So i myself am all for better AI lol

I mean, the only real differences i know between them in their current implementation is vague "aggression" parameters and speed from seeing to opening fire/accuracy thereof

Its the actual latent behaviour i'd like to see improved

[fleet loom]

a black a violet, card holder, and 2 red rebels in rb-bk dang

[vale atlas]

A scav 300m away shouldnt decide to sprint and hide behind a tree because i looked in his direction

its just infuriating lol

[trail sail]

Btw don't transit as a scav from a local-ran raid, it's gonna load for an infinite amount of time

[vale atlas]

Yeah i found that out earlier lol, was rough

I mean i know nikita does tweak ai behaviour, what i dont know is how often or what is being changed. I just find it hard to give it much faith after the initial lies about AI knowing you're looking at them

Oh i had this happening recently and constantly

It was a major annoyance during the reserve boss event

yeah but it was also notably the regular ai doing it, i vividly remember this as i was suprised any PMC's/scavs were still alive

[glossy hound]

is it just me or are pmcs a bit grenade-happy these days?

[vale atlas]

Oh thats not a trigger lol, i'm fully aware of their godhood

[abstract nymph]

That is acceptable

[lapis blade]

And don't forget, if you see bird eye, it's already too late

[vale atlas]

Oddly i haven't had much of an issue with birdeye but i think i keep running into him when there's slight foliage between us and that might be breaking things

[abstract nymph]

I actually never died from him, but from all the other goons

[lapis blade]

Big pipe and knight have you geo locations and are on the way to your mobile longitude and latitude coordinates, they installed a air tag in your prison pocket

[vale atlas]

its big pipe that keeps getting me lol, not even with the grenade launcher he just seems to be good at flanking to angles that i cant hide from

[abstract nymph]

Yeah

[vale atlas]

Sj6/mule/propital simulator

[abstract nymph]

Hahaha

Sanitar simulator

[vale atlas]

Now idk what they gave sanitar but god damn that man is a problem with open sightlines lol

He's worse than shturman

Lasering me at dome from trainstation lol, fuck that guy

On woods yeah the guards were a fuck, i'm mostly going from their behaviour on reserve as thats clearly not what they were balanced around.

Didn't have many issues as they tended to be either on top of a building or far enough away that it slowed their acquisition down for X reason

Sanitar though, did not have any kind of distance barrier

I think he's tuned for accuracy in an enclosed space, as he's generally bound by resort

Out in the open though was like, unleashing his third eye

[abstract nymph]

I actually killed shturmann really easily, he just ran jn front of me

[vale atlas]

I did every raid during the day, but made sure to focus sanitar first he was that bad lol

[odd oak]

He’s the easist of the squad imo

[vale atlas]

Knights the only real problem one because you can expect to one tap him but his mask actually can ricochet your fuckin bullet lol

[trail sail]

Wait Shooting range fixed W

[vale atlas]

Unless big pipe brought grenades anyway thats a real circumstantial issue

[abstract nymph]

The mp7 is still bugged

[vale atlas]

Just realised i'm fuckin reflex typing "lol" again, gotta kick that in the ass

I dont see that as controversial at all lol, thats... what the high pen ammo is for

though usually i find them when i'm not hunting them and running whatever chaff ammo i have laying around

Usually just facetapping things so its not generally an issue

[finite tide]

nooooo they fixed the p90 glitch

[vale atlas]

I basically only run x17 with big boy rounds for labyrinth

[lunar ice]

M80a1 all day for labrys

[vale atlas]

I kept running into issues/awkwardness attempting it with smaller calibres or smaller mags

Give the val a 45 rounder and i'll switch to that 😛

[finite tide]

m80a1 my beloved

[vale atlas]

the pve economy is wild lol, toothpaste was at 250k the other day

cheeky scalpers

[finite tide]

is the helx for a barter i barely barter at all

[vale atlas]

Yup i thought i noticed that with ammo from fence too, but cant be too sure as i'm not convinced the fence behaves the way people explain him

[bronze saddle]

did anybody even do the THEY ARE ALREADY HERE quest line? cause im stuck. the videos guides show that i need to find and pick up a cassette called victim 2 in Lighthouse, but it neve spawned for me

[finite tide]

really? ive been finding them i have a scav box thats almot nothing but helixs

[finite tide]

are you just starting it?

[vale atlas]

I remember reserve, my beloved consistent tank aesa

Cultist circle has provided them since that stopped being a good chance for it

[finite tide]

yeah

god i miss old loot

pre 1.0 was amazing

its a little better now

[pseudo kayak]

wth another update?

[bronze saddle]

yes and no... ive been trying to do it for a loooooong time, but im stuck at the very beginning.. killed a cultist, found the eye of whatever in 314 and thats it... cant progress and ive gone to Lighthouse soooo many times i unintentionally did the drip out part 2

[lapis blade]

I like that marked rooms feel good again

[vale atlas]

Yeah marked rooms coming back has been a blessing

The constant disappointment was demoralising lmao

[lapis blade]

Fr, opening a dorms marked to just have 5 guns and 2 taigas

It was depressing

[vale atlas]

That would have been a good day

I opened it twice to literal nothing

[finite tide]

can you show me your obj

[plush panther]

I literally just finished it

[pseudo kayak]

wait what's this weird mini update

[bronze saddle]

im on the 2nd task that says LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HOODED MEN (they may have left traces behind)

must i remind you of the previous event??

[vale atlas]

Isnt learn more about the hidden men one of the first steps?

[finite tide]

the tape should be on the chair in light house

[bronze saddle]

too soon to kill a priest and also i went to 4 different marked rooms. i was supposed to go there and find some paper called eye of the world or some shit

[bronze saddle]

yeah... i know... but the fucking thing wont spawn

[abstract nymph]

How fun it is to wait in the rain for the bus

[vale atlas]

Thats unusual, i thought hte wiki guys were super militant about having all this up to date

They seem to take it as a matter of personal pride lol

[abstract nymph]

A guy, going to work

Thank you!

[vale atlas]

On a sunday of all days, thoughts and prayers

ok 1) i always look around cause theres loose loot. 2) id see it by now considering i could find the cultist key every time i go there. 3) it would have spawned on the chair by now at least once considering the ridiculous times i went to lighthouse for tasks

[abstract nymph]

I didn't reached that part yey

[finite tide]

game bugged? try reporting to support

[bronze saddle]

before i do that, i have something in mind...what if i skip it and try to do the follow up step which is to go to streets? maybe that will somehow fix it

[vale atlas]

Are you certain you did all the prior stuff first? You dont have any unread notes perchance?

[mystic mesa]

whatever your going to look for at streets wont spawn because you dont have the relative story task unless you have 2 objectives

[bronze saddle]

well its better than fucking nothing.. plus i kinda have to go there to progress through the ACCIDENTAL WITNESS

[mystic mesa]

fair enough

god i hate streets i need to go there for blue fire and unheard

[bronze saddle]

you and me both

[mystic mesa]

i wanna just go to labs and get millions of dollars

[bronze saddle]

im still looking for that fucking ryzhy figurine

i listened to EVERY cassette and read every note

[vale atlas]

Try doing it again for the relevant ones

[bronze saddle]

i mean every note/cassette i have in my inventory ofcourse

[vale atlas]

sometimes the game gets a bit fucky and has to "retrigger it"

Seen a lot of advice for people with missing quest stuff that is basically "listen to the tape again before going into the raid" or "Read the note again before oging into the raid"

[bronze saddle]

YE

[mystic mesa]

this games source code is raw bacon ngl

[plush panther]

yeah the story quest system is... weird. I was doing the final steps for they are already here and it kept marking some steps as failed but I was able to progress just fine and finished the questline without an issue

[abstract nymph]

How do you know?

[vale atlas]

we play it

[mystic mesa]

do you not play the game?

[vale atlas]

😂

[finite tide]

happens to me every story chapter

[abstract nymph]

Fair enough

[vale atlas]

Crayfish like raw bacon

[bronze saddle]

[mystic mesa]

[finite tide]

[mystic mesa]

[mystic mesa]

[finite tide]

[willow tinsel]

[mystic mesa]

[finite tide]

[abstract nymph]

[mystic mesa]

Cocktail Testing
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Cocktail_Tasting

[abstract nymph]

I was also confused of why i didn't saw it in the wiki

[mystic mesa]

oh wow that is fucking impossible

[plush panther]

and elephants because elephants never forget

[abstract nymph]

Lucky for me, the police doesn't spy on me

It looks like a pain that doesn't worth it

[finite tide]

i am the police

[abstract nymph]

Oh no

[pseudo kayak]

did it at medical elevator exfil bc my friend thought shit was all sunshine and rainbows

needless to say, I survived the dolbos 1 and blacked out my teammates legs

[mystic mesa]

jesus

[willow tinsel]

😂

[abstract nymph]

Is killing pmc's from 100 meters with this calibre even possible?

[pseudo kayak]

i dropped him literally like all the stims we found that raid to help him like understand how much money n valuable stuff u could get in an optimal labs run

[mystic mesa]

apparently

[abstract nymph]

I wish i had cards to do it, can't find any

[mystic mesa]

i think ive made upwards of 2.5M on my most optimal labs raid but even there i literally ONLY checked the card rooms

the spawns on labs are kinda crazy ngl

[abstract nymph]

What are the tips you guy's can give for labs?

[pseudo kayak]

even then residential unit is enough of a hit

[abstract nymph]

Where to go, what to bring what to check

[pseudo kayak]

I bring a tx15 cuz im a cheap ass

[willow tinsel]

one does not understand till he actually has them and sells it or look it up on flea, you a real one for that

[finite tide]

wtf when did bit coin go down again

its 500k

[pseudo kayak]

I shot him the next run in the head

[mystic mesa]

i cant exactly tell you where to check everywhere but you dont really need a special gun to go just run wtv is in your stash and has good ammo

[willow tinsel]

[mystic mesa]

seriously? fuck

[abstract nymph]

And to bring keycards?

[pseudo kayak]

I told him im gonna keep firing this rpd until it jams and killed like 3 raiders and he thought it was smart to try and run over there to "help" shoot them from closer up

[finite tide]

im gonna jump off a bridge

[mystic mesa]

you should buy yellow absolutely, next get violet

[pseudo kayak]

violet is the goated ammo room right

[mystic mesa]

no thats red

[pseudo kayak]

wait is that red or violet

[willow tinsel]

thats red

[pseudo kayak]

imo red, blue, yellow are peak

[plush panther]

so I need to cast some fucking spell to find the goons or what, I'm like 20 raids deep on customs having no sign of them

[pseudo kayak]

old black sucks, new black gets robbed by pmcs through the wall

[mystic mesa]

blue is actually hot ass bro 😭

[finite tide]

oh i have less than ii thought ii have 10 now

[gritty river]

Red is the armory key Violet is intell Yellow is parts

[willow tinsel]

Violet is for alot of streamer items/attachments and rarely COFDMs

[pseudo kayak]

maybe rng but i think in the past 2 runs of blue ive gotten like 7 mules

[finite tide]

gettiing blue in a marked room makes me wanna crash out

[mystic mesa]

i get btc and gpus from yellow alot actually

[pseudo kayak]

is blue the one with the windows that are shootable through or am i schizo tweaking

[mystic mesa]

damn ok maybe i need to hit that

[willow tinsel]

Yellow is absolutely goated

[finite tide]

panda also

[plush panther]

I am doing exactly that, 20 raids and nothing so far, they are literally the last quest I need before kappa

[mystic mesa]

🤷

[willow tinsel]

sometimes yellow even has red keycards

[finite tide]

god i cant wait to turn 30 so i can get labs cards

[pseudo kayak]

ive had dry runs though, fuckin 2btg whatever the fuck and only 2 of em in blue sometimes

[mystic mesa]

damn

i think the new black room is a must hit

[gritty river]

I’m still trying to find the natural blk card spawn in labs

[pseudo kayak]

ill do a labrys run with you to help with xp :3 (ill shoot you in the head at exfil tho)

[mystic mesa]

my last run i got a black key from it

[pseudo kayak]

mine always get robbed by pmcs that can reach through walls apparently

[willow tinsel]

same, it never spawned for me

[mystic mesa]

deadass?

[plush panther]

aren't they off rotation even in online though?

[pseudo kayak]

yeah that's why sometimes all you'll find it like an intel folder or nothing

[finite tide]

that wouldnt be nice

[mystic mesa]

dude literally every new black i hit i get a btc

[gritty river]

Try runing it on Bsg servers apparently ground loot has higher chances on servers

[pseudo kayak]

dont mention the 1st one, mods might smite you

[mystic mesa]

also that key sells for like 187k for therapist

[willow tinsel]

Ive ran BSG server almost since start of 1.0, no luck

[pseudo kayak]

it would be, id bring you a whole kit and youd just idk get 75% less xp bc u died to something

[mystic mesa]

wait can i lowk join i dont wanna run streets

[pseudo kayak]

i need that cultist factory event back dude this sucks

[finite tide]

but i dont keep loot from labyrinth

[pseudo kayak]

i want the reserve event back too, that was amazing xp

[gritty river]

I’ll try it when I wake up I’ll let you know if I have any luck if at all

[willow tinsel]

Not that i need a blaack keycard, i got around 20 of them in my stash, i just wanna see its natural spawn without using a key for it

[pseudo kayak]

you shouldve farmed the reserve event that was peak for xp

[mystic mesa]

i stopped playing for a while but i have an entire key tool of marked room keys that i will never end up running through all of them

[mystic mesa]

im not even gonna lie labyrynth loot fucking sucks

[sage marsh]

[pseudo kayak]

[finite tide]
