[wide stag]

It seems I forgot to launch overwolf, I'll just take my loss than. Thank you for thinking with me really appreciate it while trying to figure everything out 🙂

[sage mesa]

where scavs in shoreline i need to finish peacekeeping in as little raids as possible

[frail comet]

@sage mesa resort, , two snipers on dam building, sniper rock on the back side of resort, one by bunker at sniper rock, sniper tower by train exfil, tunnel exfil, road to customs exfil

and then by the villages

better off looking at map genie

[sage mesa]

yaya ty

[rocky shoal]

I saw a tiktok saw that I shouldn’t be afraid too lose loot, but i also saw a tiktok that said I should watch what i bring into a raid idk if i should hold back or bring the m4 i found on a dead pmc

So always bring my best stuff and don’t hold back

[fervent turret]

bring stuff that you’re comfortable using

at least test out new builds before you run them live

[rocky shoal]

Alr

Also are those tasks from like prapor and stuff where i have too kill 10 scavs worth it I usually bring a shotgun and some cheap armor to factory and try to kill as many as i can

[fervent turret]

the daily tasks? the 24H ones?

yeah you can do them if they’re easy or coincide with your other main tasks

good source of exp

[orchid salmon]

Operational / daily tasks generally are worth focussing on only after lvl 46 because of the xp bump, before that I’d focus actual quests unless you can complete them on the side

[frosty musk]

Or it just meant not to splurge unnecessarily

[rocky shoal]

👍

[frosty musk]

Honestly though unless you really wanna use it I would sell the m4 depending on how good it is

[rocky shoal]

It got zero recoil, suppresor, and its light and a 2x holo

[frosty musk]

A good m4 is expensive to make decent meaning if yours isn't kitted out it may not be worth using. Also ammo matters ton

[rocky shoal]

True

[frosty musk]

Could you take a screenshot

[rocky shoal]

Ya i will when i get home

[frosty musk]

And the earliest really useable 556 is 56a1, which is unlocked from a peacekeeper quest

[whole thistle]

Gear isn't helping you by sitting in your stash

Plus it's a lot more fun to use good gear

[halcyon coral]

Hi there. I have constant "Server connection lost" error last 3 days. Need help, suggestions. Pls help.

[carmine oxide]

yo what map is this

[rocky shoal]

Shoreline resort

[carmine oxide]

wtf really

[rocky shoal]

Ya

[carmine oxide]

ive never been there then

[brittle canyon]

center building

[rocky shoal]

Those stairs lead to a room where theres like 6 pc blocks and a few med bags

[carmine oxide]

theres a cinema there right ?

[rocky shoal]

And a weapons case

Ya

[brittle canyon]

install adblock

[rocky shoal]

Cinema cafeteria and hospital rooms

[carmine oxide]

ik i played on this map once but I had no clue which one it was

[carmine oxide]

I have adblock

[brittle canyon]

and you still get ads on yt?

[carmine oxide]

wtf are you talking about

what ads

[rocky shoal]

In the room theres a few extra pcs that are hidden

[jagged nest]

dont forget the safes

[frail comet]

after like 6 solo resort runs I’m no longer afraid to go there I’ve noticed the majority of ppl I’ve fought are dogshit

especially if you get there first

untouchable

I only have quest keys for it tho what are the main keys I need for loot runs

[topaz sigil]

my scav has more needles than a drug addict

[frail comet]

What map

[thick wagon]

im in a bit of a hard situations im level 20 but i am beyond poor would it be worth resetting my account or not

like i dont have enough money to buy a kit

[bold kernel]

Not.

Play your scav, learn a good money route - and just keep spamming it

[thick wagon]

i do i have a good money route but i always run into a pmc or traitor scav

[fervent phoenix]

Is there a google doc or anything that tells you which items to hold on to for quest later on?

[frosty musk]

Try slowing it down

[frosty musk]

!wiki quests

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places. Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.
When a trader has a quest available, they will have a green tick on their icon.

[round badge]

Tarkov has its ups and downs- even veterans of the game experience this some times

resetting account will just make it harder for you, because you will more than likely keep running into the same enemies and problems, your best bet is to try new playstyles to try and work around the obstacles

[rocky shoal]

I think theres like 2 or three I forgot them though

[snow jewel]

I have a file on my pc, want me to send it when I get home?

[urban wolf]

thats admin

has two safes which are both locked

but the whole admin building is usually pretty loaded

[naive depot]

No matter how down bad you are in this game you can always make a comeback

[snow jewel]

brotha play your scav

I was down to 20k a few days ago

[frail comet]

How do you get the transmitter to go to lighthouse? Wiki doesn’t really say

[small bolt]

Play scav to get easy money, go dorms and snatch the remains of whatever dies there or just learn stash routes.

[tidal lagoon]

you need to do these tasks to unlock mechanics quest line for getting to lightkeeper

the decoded transmitter you get from quest called knock-knock

[small bolt]

So I bought the workbench in hideout. I’m only lvl 9, so most attachments are locked up for me. Is there any use for the workbench or the hideout gennerally for me?

[brittle canyon]

u dont need workbench to mod guns

but workbench has crafts

always invest in hideout

[frosty musk]

Hideout upgrades are always good and weapon presets, although not necessary, help a lot

[frail comet]

For preset you do

[small bolt]

True, I understood what he meant but the workbench makes it easier

[snow jewel]

there's 0 reason not to max hideout

it's free money and free stuff

[brittle canyon]

well

solar, btc 3 and stash 4 can be questionable benefit

[snow jewel]

stash 4 is hella expensive

and gpus also expensive this wipe

I meant the general crafting stuff like lavatory and workbench

[high prawn]

when do scavs spawn

[kindred grotto]

what map

[high prawn]

woods

not player scavs, js scavs in general

[kindred grotto]

most pois

and some spots

[high prawn]

when*

[frosty musk]

Soon after raid starts

[kindred grotto]

oh lol

some spawn insta, some spawn as time goes on

[lost basalt]

usually, at 2nd half of raid. e.g if raid lusts 50 min , they more likely to spawn after 25 min

[kindred grotto]

missread it sorry

[high prawn]

just wanna get my jaeger quest done

is this a good spot

[frail comet]

Which one

[frail comet]

You’ll prob find 1 team there if you spawn there early

[high prawn]

kill 3 scavs without meds

[frail comet]

idk what quest you’re going for but if it’s for PMC kills I’d say go somewhere overlooking sawmill

Oh for that I’d run around the map

[snow jewel]

go pvp, in the scav camp

[frail comet]

I don’t think any woods scav spawn spawns more than 2

maybe med camp

[snow jewel]

med camp does

[tidal lagoon]

they do

[snow jewel]

that's where I did it

[kindred grotto]

village bunker etc

saw

[tidal lagoon]

just depends on some rng and how long its been

[frail comet]

I must have bad scav luck then

[kindred grotto]

attach cabin too

[tidal lagoon]

well when you need scav kills u r always gonna have bad luck

[kindred grotto]

me rn as blueperry

saved customs for last 😦

[tidal lagoon]

damn u doing the UN work

[kindred grotto]

yea brother

1/12 rn 😦

[high prawn]

what does this mean

[frail comet]

is it better to do colleagues 3 of huntsman sadist

[tidal lagoon]

mines or border snipers, dehydration

[frail comet]

Or*

[tidal lagoon]

prolly some more things

colleages 3

black keycard^

[high prawn]

im guessing it was sniper scavs

[frail comet]

yea

If u went past that

[frail comet]

bet

not that I’ll ever play labs but

[tidal lagoon]

u can sell

[frail comet]

isn’t it like 10m

for black

[tidal lagoon]

no

[kindred grotto]

3.5

[tidal lagoon]

not after they added it as a reward

price got bamboozled

[frail comet]

crazyyy

[frosty onyx]

Hey, I m doing the Delivery from Past quest and collected the Secure folder from the office now i have to bring it to Factory. Do i have to do it on first try or can i die and dont have to collect the folder on custom again?

[frail comet]

First try

[high prawn]

do you need sr 25 for a quest

[frosty onyx]

ok ty

[tidal lagoon]

no u dont

[frail comet]

if you don’t go to factory right away be sure to put your folder in your quest stash

or you’ll lose it

@frosty onyx

[frosty onyx]

I did ty for the tipp

[kindred grotto]

you die you need to get itagain

[frosty onyx]

ok ty

[tired moss]

anyone available to help me modify a gun i took from a pmc i killed a bit better?

[thick wagon]

With my luck I do comeback then I instantly go back down

[naive depot]

that's part of the game you'll at to figure out what's getting you killed most often and work around it

[thick wagon]

I can’t even find what gets me killed icl I play right hand peaks I play slow dosent work so I try medium dosent work then I try to play quick but nothing works I always bump into atleast 3 people

[frail comet]

all about positioning and when to go

[fickle cairn]

anyone wanna do woods?

[frail comet]

you get the hang of it after a while

but running jnto squads is inevitable

[empty peak]

Anyone getting a backend error in game n it’s not letting me create group or anything

[frosty musk]

L1 traders won't have any options that are better than what that gun already has most likely

[glacial dagger]

hey what is the best way to get labs cards

[tidal lagoon]

filing cabinets is good and spawning with em on scav

[glacial dagger]

oh ok what map should i do for filing cabinets

[tidal lagoon]

think most of them have good amounts of filing cabinets, streets, shoreline, reserve, bustoms

[glacial dagger]

alright thank you

whats the odds

[tidal lagoon]

dunno

[frail comet]

Pockets of dead scavs

[umbral smelt]

someone wanna hlep me understand this game?

[unreal fable]

How long does airdrops take

[frail comet]

If u shoot a red flare like a minute

if u wait for random drop prob 20

[finite monolith]

higher your scav rep the better the odds

[rain wing]

there ain't really a concrete way to get labs cards fir

it just happens

[ocean adder]

out of my whole junkbox what should I sell( I don't have flea im only lvl 13)

[high crescent]

it’s ok buddy i’m level 29 i still get mopped by noobs

[mint light]

🌚

[high crescent]

hi max

[pliant cove]

Does anyone have major dc issues?

Sometimes my connection to tarkov is great then others I can’t even stay connected in a raid and end up losing everything.

[high crescent]

russian game developer chooses bad servers it happens

[pliant cove]

Yeah, but I play with some friends every day and they don’t have hardly any issues

[high crescent]

are they russian

[pliant cove]

No

Same server selection as me.

I have a high end pc that exceed the necessary things to play tarkov. But every day I have serious problems with blue screen and lag and dcing

I was trying to find someone with a similar issue or someone who might have a solution other then “Russian bad, server bad.” But thanks man.

[high crescent]

hahahaha

[pliant cove]

So the weird part, is that under high stress it works fine. Like I had a few people over running 4 Xbox’s and 4 smart TVs and my niece was watching Netflix on another tv. And it ran fine but when there isn’t like a lot of “draw” on the internet my connection is dog.

😂 yeah. I don’t know I just thought I would try. Thanks anyways!

[frosty musk]

Hard drives

Can probably go

Es and uv lamps

CPU fan and ram

Turn in that pcb

The tape

A couple bolts

Maybe the bulbex

[frail comet]

Sell the relays, screws, lightbulbs, harddrives

everything else is decent on flea

[frail comet]

no keep the bolts

and the bulbex

sell all that shit on flea if you have several saved up it’s better to sell since it’s cheap

oh well WD40 too

if I were you I’d keep 1-2 of each thing for daily find and transfer quests they’ll give you good xp

You could sell the drills too they’re only like 20-25k for 4 slots so that’s bad

[scarlet granite]

anyone know why my extracts at fac arnt owkring

ive been to 2

and they arnt extracting me \

[topaz sigil]

im the friend and its true we have tried everything i even switched to his region (i dont live in) and i dont have any issues

[topaz sigil]

are they available? like open?

[finite monolith]

lol

[topaz sigil]

because if they have the "?????" that mean that they may or may not be open

[finite monolith]

are you going to scav extracts as a pmc?

[topaz sigil]

if it says "CO-OP" you need to cooperate with a scav to exvil

[scarlet granite]

no i had cellars gate 3 gate 0 and med tent

i went to all of them

did not extract me

[finite monolith]

did you use the key to open them

[scarlet granite]

what

[finite monolith]

you need factory key for med tent and gate 0

[scarlet granite]

what?

[topaz sigil]

need a key for gate 0 and medtent

[scarlet granite]

they were open i just walked in

never used a key to extract at those b4

acc that might have been the reason

[finite monolith]

you definetly need a key for med tent and gate 0

[scarlet granite]

if its 2 doors to extract

[topaz sigil]

yeah because those extract have 2 doors only 1 needs a key

[scarlet granite]

i only went through 1

[topaz sigil]

thats wht

[scarlet granite]

dude i dont get how none of those were open

thats wild no other players opened them

[topaz sigil]

because the second door is the extract room

becuase everyone uses gate 3 because its easy

[finite monolith]

most player extract then gate 3

[scarlet granite]

rip

[carmine oxide]

omg I finally found a fucking vudu

[manic knoll]

Am I outta luck as a new player that wants to group but doesnt have a mic?

[topaz sigil]

yup

[topaz sigil]

do you at least have headset?

[mint light]

yes

[manic knoll]

yessir

[topaz sigil]

how do you have headset and no mic?

[manic knoll]

busted unfortunately

[carmine oxide]

I committed my first scav on scav war crime are y'all proud of me ?

ok how the fuck am I supposed to extract with 3 rigs as a scav..

[finite monolith]

1v4 in dorms

[carmine oxide]

whats your build

I'm about to unlock the injector case, do I have anything worth keeping/using ?

[finite monolith]

you need some of those for quests

[carmine oxide]

yeah I only need one more

[shy knoll]

anyone wanna team up with me n my uncle ? we been running factory over a week now learning the game but we'd like a buddy to join us along the way and maybe teach us a thing or 2

[orchid isle]

Sj6 prop etg blue blood zagusten

Maybe adrenaline if u wanna hotkey it but it’s not that good

[median niche]

hello, any tips on how/where to use red flares? I try to get as late into the raid as possible but someone always comes :(

[brittle canyon]

kill anyone who comes

[cinder field]

Don't shoot after raid start, do it near extract, shoot late in Raid, get ready for heavy combat

Never do it alone

That's how we do it

[frosty musk]

You're asking to team kill and be team killed

[frosty musk]

You wanna do it with like 10-15 minutes left and it may be a good idea depending on how close to extract you are to camp it for a bit. Player scavs are kinda stupid

[snow jewel]

chemical?
use the propital, blue blood and morphine, keep one of the green stims for emergencies and stock up on a few mules

[frail comet]

Not hard at all lol

[snow jewel]

it's kinda annoying, gotta have a decent bag

[dapper ginkgo]

I've never seen such a beautfiul sight in my life

[gaunt silo]

i know it's late but, wear 1 and 2 in bag

[celest viper]

you guys think shoreline stash running or safe running more profitable?

[cinder field]

Just go for both

[livid glacier]

Factory

Whats the best spot for the tarkov shooter part 7

[kindred grotto]

woods

[storm tree]

I got all my traders to enough rep for lvl 4 and don't know what do to now

[kindred grotto]

level

ledx prolly

too

[livid glacier]

Where on woods

Sawmill?

[kindred grotto]

anywhere

[livid glacier]

Any high traffic places with good camping spots

[kindred grotto]

just watch pois from a long range

or like the range you need

[livid glacier]

K

[gentle basin]

is Operation Aquarius part 1 bugged or smt?

dorm 206 is open all the time and has nothing in it

[gaunt silo]

you just need to walk into it

[mint light]

no

[gentle basin]

nothing there

ohhh ok

[gaunt silo]

are you at the right dorms

you only walk into it and quest should be complete

these guys are chads

super chads

[tepid mulch]

how do you fail chem part 4

[gentle basin]

got it

[tepid mulch]

is it if i go in and die, or put it down and dont extract or what

[gentle basin]

and killed 2 pmc while doing it xd

kedr op

spray and pray

[tepid mulch]

nevermind i get it

its if you hand it into the other guy#

should i hand it into skier or therapist, i already have an injector case and not that much rep for skier

what does eod have to do with rep

how high

man wtf

[frosty musk]

Yeah eod eats chem 4

[tepid mulch]

so thats how people get ragman 3 so easily

[robust robin]

And also jager, and also peacekeeper

But guys its not p2w its pay to conveniance

Ong

[frosty musk]

mhm yep absolutely

[topaz violet]

Just killed someone for their slick, are they worth using or should I just sell? Kinda broke atm

Never used one before

[kindred grotto]

use

[merry swift]

Best thorax armor in the game. Even if you just survive 1 raid thanks to it you will already make more gains than selling it

I'd use it

Especially at this point in the wipe where ammo that pierces T4/T5 is fairly commonplace but T6 definitely isn't.

[frosty musk]

They only sell for 150k to ragman

It's not worth selling

[topaz violet]

Kk will do, I need 4 more pmc kills for the interchange quest then so ill use it

Thanks a lot everyone

[frosty musk]

What is the best t6

[merry swift]

Zhuk

[topaz violet]

It was a funny fight we were just unloading on each other till I randomly hit his head

[frosty musk]

Surprising

It's ceramic

[primal yacht]

Breaks in 2 bp bullets

[merry swift]

Yea the effective durability is -slightly- lower than that of a hexgrid or slick but it covers stomach

[frosty musk]

I thought stomach cover was bad

[merry swift]

I don't think it is.

Stomach is 50% overkill

[primal yacht]

Why would u want stomach cover

[frosty musk]

Wasting armor durability on a body part that won't directly kill you if it gets blacked

[topaz violet]

So far my fav armor is the gzhel-k

It slaps

[merry swift]

Because stomach shots get you killed

Ever since they fixed limb damage

Stomach is 150%

That shit is rough

If you dont care for stomach, slick/hexgrid are virtually identical

Hexgrid is a bit lighter iirc

[topaz violet]

Ulach best value helmet? After the rating?

[primal yacht]

No one aims for stomach thorax is much more important since it directly kills you breaking ur armor to keep stomach is stupid

[topaz violet]

Ratnik*

[frosty musk]

Slick has more durability though right

[merry swift]

You'll find that many people disagree

[frosty musk]

Isn't ratnik only t3

[primal yacht]

Not too many

[merry swift]

Yea but the hexgrid material holds up better so effectively they come out to the same

[topaz violet]

T3 for helmet

[frosty musk]

And it's like 30k

It doesn't seem worth

[merry swift]

20k with barter

[frosty musk]

Ulach is like 40k I think

[topaz violet]

Ulach is good yeah? The others seem so much more expensive

[primal yacht]

I prefer thorax I very rarely die to stomach

[frosty musk]

I believe so

I know a lot of people use it

[cinder field]

I like the Ulach

[frosty musk]

T3 isn't really worth using cause most rifle rounds will pen

[topaz violet]

Yeah fair enough

[frosty musk]

How much does ragman sell ulach

[robust robin]

Ratniks are like 25k tops and always come back in insurance, itll save you from pistol rounds and sometimes ricochet

[topaz violet]

I've had so much fun this wipe just chilling and not grinding as hard

[primal yacht]

I know that but don’t really dir to it since m855a1 and bs which I very often run into people using adds up to not so much even after 1.5x multiplier

[merry swift]

Yea the thing with stomach is also that the huge overkill will allow you to die to fewer thorax shots

[topaz violet]

I love 5.45 BP/BS

[merry swift]

Happens more often than you'd think

[kindred grotto]

why not bs

bt i mean

[topaz violet]

Good question just never really had it in the stash

[lost basalt]

cuz tracers , plus locked by punisher pt4. ez right ?

[kindred grotto]

easier than bs

???

to get i mean

[lost basalt]

Well, bs at least not tracers. Plus you relaibly find at woods near dead man place or at reserve

[kindred grotto]

you find more bt than bs from those places

who cares about tracers anyway tbh

[lost basalt]

any rat and players who prefer slow playstyle ? Plus snipers

[kindred grotto]

slow playstyle means youll get shots on people who are clueless = one tap

[lost basalt]

if these people are together, tracer can reveal your postition

[glass glen]

i'm having issues registering and i would like to talk to a moderator.. anyone have any idea on how i can do that?

[kindred grotto]

#community-support

[snow jewel]

remember that one dude who said he only crouch walked everywhere?

average tracer enjoyer

[kindred grotto]

dont really mind abut tracers lol

[snow jewel]

I've barely seen any rats this wipe tbf

guess no one rats on na servers

[kindred grotto]

im the rat

There are shit ton of rats in resort this wipe tho

[snow jewel]

and I rush every fight

[kindred grotto]

people are so scared of pushing its crazy

[snow jewel]

if you hear gunshots

you bet I'll be sprinting over there

[snow jewel]

fr

[storm tree]

[frosty musk]

You'll never catch me, I'll be running away 💀

If enough sound was made to draw in a third party, there also probably a fourth and fifth party

[storm tree]

Kill them all 😄

[snow jewel]

so?

that just means more kills >:)

[frosty musk]

More shots means a sixth party

I'm dead 💀

[snow jewel]

I wanna run ps12 more but nikita hates me

[lavish tinsel]

Whats the easiest way to find a ak-74n?

factory?

cant find one to finish punisher part 5

[snow jewel]

buy it

[lavish tinsel]

it doesnt need to be FIR?

[lost basalt]

u can craft it at workbench

[snow jewel]

ah yea mb

you can probably go customs, scavs got em a lot

[lost basalt]

btw u can earn money by crafting shitty aks 👌

[lavish tinsel]

Didnt even think of crafting it. Ill check 😄

[snow jewel]

how much? approximately

[lost basalt]

15-20 k profit

[dapper epoch]

Alright boys what we getting rid of

[kindred grotto]

all

[lost basalt]

u have 2 go to wiki and check what u need for quests

[frosty musk]

Break even with fuel cost

[lost basalt]

u don't need fuel for that

[dapper epoch]

Why would you add fuel cost into your consideration

[snow jewel]

keep mdr, dvl and sr

[dapper epoch]

Unless thats literally the only thing being powered it doesnt matter

[snow jewel]

everything else can go

[frosty musk]

I thought crafting needed fuel

[dapper epoch]

Yes but fuel cost doesnt really matter if you have 8 things using fuel

It's kinda dumb to factor it in

[lost basalt]

u need fuel , to just start proccess and that's it. after that u turn off

[tidal lagoon]

but then it takes longer

[dapper epoch]

Way longer

[snow jewel]

but it's gonna take hella long to craft lol

my m80 went from 16 hours to 250 without fuel

[lavish tinsel]

Literally everything is useless, gun wise. I would keep only DVL-10, mdr, mk17, SR-2M and the rd-704

[lost basalt]

@tidal lagoon@dapper epoch But it's cheaper 👌

[dapper epoch]

Are you struggling that bad for fuel

You can make three times worth the 80k it takes to get a blue fuel tank in the 12 hours you get from it

From one station

Forget crafting with the other 8 stations

[lost basalt]

For players that recently start to play that's important. Cuz not everybody wants to do loot run just for fuel. People frefer to fight

[tidal lagoon]

thats like maximum cope tho, if u just run multiple crafts in ur hideout u will easily get enough profit to buy new fuel and still have left over cash

[dapper epoch]

Thats the most down bad of down bad things ever

Literally just save 80k and buy a blue fuel

It's not hard even for new players to make 80k

And that gives you 12 hours of crafting, which will net you way more than 80k if you're crafting multiple things

[mint light]

dude crafting m80

[dapper epoch]

Leave him alone max he's level goob

[lost basalt]

What multiple things u wanna craft with lvl 1 hideout and traders ?

[kindred grotto]

m61 is cheaper to craft than m80 btw

[snow jewel]

I find allat in raid

it's free for me 💪

[dapper epoch]

Medstation, Workbench, Lavatory

[kindred grotto]

idk where you find m61 consistently in raid

[snow jewel]

and then dyin to ps like a chad

[snow jewel]

pmcs

[kindred grotto]

doubt

[mint light]

bro killing glukar every raid

[lost basalt]

there is no nothing profitable at med station and lavatory at this stage

[kindred grotto]

xd

bro killed one guy running m61

[dapper epoch]

Wires???

[snow jewel]

I like the meds craft

[dapper epoch]

There is so much profitable lmfao

[lost basalt]

only workbench as i said before ? no need in fuel for that

[kindred grotto]

empty fuels for grenade cases

[dapper epoch]

Bro who is only going to be running their workbench

[lost basalt]

u can't do it at lvl 1 ?

[dapper epoch]

Do you not see the point

[kindred grotto]

idk

[dapper epoch]

At no mater what level, you can run multiple crafts

[lost basalt]

[devout shore]

are the servers down????

[dapper epoch]

The fuel pays for itself and then some

[tidal lagoon]

craft wires instead of aks btw, if u run with fuel its 2 hrs to craft 8 wires, u buy power cords when they kinda down bad between 10-15k u sell wires for 12k like 50-60k profit or smt

[lost basalt]

No , u are wrong, it won't pay for itself with level 1 hideout

[dapper epoch]

It very much will

[kindred grotto]

just get 2 gpus it pays it back lol

[tidal lagoon]

u should make enough money for fuel from just wires alone

[lost basalt]

u need at least level 2 hideout to make multiple and profitable crafts

[dapper epoch]

Wrong

[lost basalt]

[dapper epoch]

For someone who's tryhard someone sure doesn't know how to utilize barters and hideout profits

Crafting round pliers in workbench 1 for 12 hours alone will pay for your fuel

[lost basalt]

no it won't . u make 5k profit from that . Fuel is 80 k

pls git gud at math

[tidal lagoon]

wires craft is 21500 profit per hour and thats with very bad prices u can squeeze it up 10-20k more but with 21500 pr hour in 8-9 hours u will have enough to buy a metal fuel tank

[dapper epoch]

5k profit each craft my guy wtf

It takes 30 mins to make round pliers

You can do it like 20 times

Man is acting like it takes a fuel tank per craft or something like what

[snow jewel]

I am

[dapper epoch]

Still will make more than you pay for fuel just crafting pliers

[lost basalt]

@tidal lagoon@dapper epoch i would rather just make a loot run as a scav . it's more realiable way to get fuel

[dapper epoch]

Right, as would anyone, but according to you new players don't wanna do that

[tidal lagoon]

that wasnt really what it was about

[snow jewel]

yea u right, but I have so much fuel idrc, america boutta show up at my doorstep

[tidal lagoon]

still u can do both and make even more

[dapper epoch]

Exactly my point

[lost basalt]

As pmc sure , people wanna fight. But as scav people prefer to farm

[dapper epoch]

You're not even missing the point

Like

It's just not even in the same realm as your mind rn

This hurts to try and argue

[tidal lagoon]

fact is u can make profit from workbench only when running it with fuel

so why not do that while u also make scav runs or run pmc

[dapper epoch]

Thank you

[lost basalt]

There is no reason to thanks you. u wasted my time

[dapper epoch]

Wasn't thanking you dw

[lost basalt]

u dare 😠

[dapper epoch]

I was thanking the sensible peron

[lost basalt]

Why not , just accept fact that it's more profitable to craft at workbench with turned OFF generator

[dapper epoch]

Because it's not?

And you're wrong?

[lost basalt]

how dare u

until u upgrade your hideout to level 2 , there is not reason to burn fuel

u can just calculate and move on

[dapper epoch]

Have fun with that

[lost basalt]

already did !! 👌

[dapper epoch]

The smart people will be crafting stuff in their other stations while making profit from their workbench

[tidal lagoon]

how long does that ak craft of urs take with fuel off

[lost basalt]

around 4 hours ?

[dapper epoch]

lmfao

[lost basalt]

instead of 1.5 hours

[tidal lagoon]

and u make like 10-15k profit

[lost basalt]

15-20 !!

[dapper epoch]

Bros waiting 3 hours longer to save pennies

[tidal lagoon]

ok

[frigid finch]

5 x400s for super blinding and laser precision lol

[tidal lagoon]

but why not run wires instead with fuel on and make more

[dapper epoch]

Because they don't like smart things

[earnest radish]

Guys which traders should I focus on to LV up and do tasks for - Prapor,Skier,Therapist,Ragman,Jaeger are at L2 - rest are L1

[lost basalt]

cuz without access to flea , it won't compensates for fuel consumption

[dapper epoch]

You def want Mechanic, Skier and Jaeger

[frosty musk]

Get peacekeeper to 2 right now

[dapper epoch]

And Peacekeeper

[earnest radish]

I am trying - he is at 7k out of 11

[dapper epoch]

Pk becomes reaaaally good later game

[frosty musk]

Buy 4k dollars

[dapper epoch]

Just buy and sell to him if you can afford it

[frosty musk]

Or like 2k and sell and rebuy crap over and over

[dapper epoch]

^

The money goes both ways, what youve sold to him, and what you buy

[tidal lagoon]

yea not having access to flea is a different game didnt know we were talking that down bad but even then u can keep ur wires until u get lvl 15 and sell all at once

[dapper epoch]

Even with that, if you don't have flea you shouldn't be worrying about your pennies, you should be questing to get flea

The 500k you start out with is more than enough to get you to level 15 even if you die 5/6 games

[frosty musk]

Assuming you aren't a timmy

[tidal lagoon]

depends on skill level how far u will get with that 500k

completely new player not very far

[dapper epoch]

It was more than enough for me

Started this wipe completely new

First mistake is not scavving lmao

Nope, can count on my hand how many co-op games ive played

[frosty musk]

Well then obviously you can make that 500 work

[dapper epoch]

And of course I scavved

[whole thistle]

Or only scavving

[frosty musk]

A scav will cover 2-3 l1 trader kits

[frigid finch]

why the fuck wouldnt you scav

that is just stupid

[dapper epoch]

^^^^^&^^^^^^^^

Thank you

[whole thistle]

Assuming you know how to loot

[whole thistle]

Cause I don't need money

[dapper epoch]

In turn it really is, because that 500k keeps you afloat while your scav raids give you gear

[frosty musk]

I don't and I get that

[dapper epoch]

Like I said I started this wipe, no knowledge of this game, still made enough in scav runs to at least run a pmc kit

[frigid finch]

obviously people who dont need money dont scav, havent run one in weeks...but for brand new players...that is just stupid

[dapper epoch]

I played a game with Spartan once

[whole thistle]

Yeah

[frosty musk]

People advocating for the removal for scavs

[dapper epoch]

Scav is great especially for new players

[frigid finch]

i wish they would change when they spawn in....it should be like 10-20 minutes left and you truly are going for scraps

[dapper epoch]

If scav wasnt a thing then sure, that 500k would be nothing

But even completely new it's more than managable with some scav runs, to reach level 15

Quickly at that

[frosty musk]

I'd say just a bit later than now would be good

[frigid finch]

yea, but the amount of money i make on a scav uncontested on a day lighthouse run is just ridiculous

[frosty musk]

Like on lighthouse you shouldn't be racing scavs to water treatment

[dapper epoch]

Good scav karma holders should get a chance to spawn as level 2 or 3 ai and bad scavs should spawn injured, ez

[frosty musk]

Good scav karma could spawn earlier

That would be a good reward

[dapper epoch]

Now thast actually isn't a bad idea

[void idol]

Yes i hate spawning in with 32 m8nutes peft

[dapper epoch]

I was memeing lmao

[void idol]

Afking in a bush for 20 minutes

[kindred grotto]

never

[frosty musk]

Obviously to make it balancing the entire window scavs can spawn needs to be shifted to later

[frigid finch]

lol if i spawned with 35 minutes in lighthouse it basically would just become a normal pmc run with how much shit i would take out of there

[dapper epoch]

Pretty sure the scav rep benefits change with every whole number so maybe with like every whole number you can spawn an "x" amount of minutes earlier

[frosty musk]

But -6 rep spawning on streets with minutes left would hurt

A lot

[dapper epoch]

Don't get -6 rep

[kindred grotto]

scavs should spawn so late into the raid

and a limit on how many pscavs can spawn into a singular raid

[dapper epoch]

I see why people say scavs should spawn so late but if you keep pushing p scav spawns later and later there's gonna be like no pmc and pscav interaction

[kindred grotto]

good

[dapper epoch]

I hardly see pmcs as it is

Not good

[kindred grotto]

yes good

[frigid finch]

nah, i think there should absolutely be a big risk for pmcs staying later and later into a raid...but shouldnt be facing 5 player scavs at 35 minutes lol...id say <25 minutes is probably fair, so there is risk/reward for how long a pmc stays in the raid

[kindred grotto]

pscavs are a boring gimmick

[dapper epoch]

Not really

[tidal lagoon]

pscavs are walking loot boxes

[kindred grotto]

i dont want to get punished for staying long in a raid?

[tidal lagoon]

u never know what they gonna have, key for 1mil maybe?

[kindred grotto]

bruh

[frosty musk]

Like 6 rep spawns on streets with 30 minutes left and -6 rep spawns with like 7 minutes left. 0 rep has like 19 minutes

Would absolutely reward good scav behavior

[frigid finch]

learn how to be more efficient then

[dapper epoch]

It's almost like the longer you stay in a risky zone, the riskier it gets, hmm....

[kindred grotto]

"efficent"

zzz

[dapper epoch]

Go play cod

zzzz

[kindred grotto]

bruh

[frigid finch]

i can do a full clear of water treatment in 15 minutes....while killing rogues

[kindred grotto]

so im punished for a slower playstyle

mean i want to play cod

alr

[void idol]

Maybe at a fence certain rep you could choose betweem an early ot late spawn

[frigid finch]

if you are taking any longer, i have no problem with their being increased risks

[dapper epoch]

No, you're bitching about the system in place to prevent a pmc from sitting in raid all game lmfao

[kindred grotto]

"sitting

[frosty musk]

The only reason for scav on scav pvp is because someone either wants loot or they want to pvp. Later spawn times means they get to come across less scavs and they wouldn't get as much loot from containers because all the other scavs picked it over

[dapper epoch]

Why shouldnt it get riskier the longer you're in a raid?

[frosty musk]

Scavs are easy to kill anyway

[dapper epoch]

It sounds like you just want an easier game and to just have to deal with Ai once all the pmcs are dead

[kindred grotto]

pscavs are a gimmicky tho

[dapper epoch]

No they're not

How are they gimmicky????

[frosty musk]

Usually timmies and no gear at all

They die after two shots

[frigid finch]

player scavs are 100% necessary in this game if you want any sort of chance at a larger playerbase

[dapper epoch]

Player scavs is one of the cooler parts about this game

Getting to spawn in as a random enemy in an already started raid

Fuck other people's shit up if you want, or just loot quietly

[frigid finch]

i mean...lets be real, how often are player scavs EVER a threat...if you die to a player scav, 99% of the time you absolutely deserved it

[dapper epoch]

Exactly

[kindred grotto]

I get rat pscavs lol

[dapper epoch]

Shouldnt be hard to kill then

[kindred grotto]

...?

I get mfs camping extracts in bushes

[dapper epoch]

If they're just ratting around then what's your issue

[frigid finch]

if youre dying to a rat pscav its the exact same as dying to a rat pmc...happens sometimes, you move on

[dapper epoch]

Maybe check your surroundings, I always love hearing the whole "extract camping thing" lmfao. In my 500 raids I can't remember once i've been extract camped

[hoary falcon]

You haven’t been to D2 much eh?

[frigid finch]

lol just never ever ever player reserve and you wont have to

[void idol]

Cant be extract camped if you dont make it to the extract

[kindred grotto]

I dont die to pscavs but they are a gimmick and you cant change my mind

i dont care

[dapper epoch]

I dont play reserve

[frigid finch]

i dont think that word means what you think it means, by your logic, literally everything in every video game ever is a "gimmick"

[kindred grotto]

Ion want to go out of my way to kills atleast 3 pscavs every woods raids before 20 mins

[dapper epoch]

How you going out of your way?

There's one use

[kindred grotto]

there is no "wrong" opinions

[dapper epoch]

Comedy

[frigid finch]

there absolutely is

[dapper epoch]

Oh there definitely is

[kindred grotto]

I mean sure XD

[dapper epoch]

It's my "opinion" that the sky is red

[kindred grotto]

but I think pscavs is a topic where you can have opinions on

: P

[dapper epoch]

You can

[frigid finch]

yea, but calling it a gimmick is wrong

[dapper epoch]

But saying theyre a gimmick is an objectively wrong opinion lmfao

[hoary falcon]

Yes but when you use words wrong, the opinion becomes nonsensical

[kindred grotto]

not my 1st language

happens

[hoary falcon]

“You can’t change my mind “

[dapper epoch]

What, common sense?

[kindred grotto]

Im just stubborn

I feel a way and you feel a way

[dapper epoch]

We can tell

[kindred grotto]

its ok to disagree

[frigid finch]

lol being stubborn in the face of contradictory information is just ignorance

[tidal lagoon]

pscavs in themself not an issue but an army of them rushing 1 guy is not super cool

[frigid finch]

willful ignorance at that

[dapper epoch]

^

[kindred grotto]

I mean you just stated your opinion

[crimson valve]

Hello! learning labs. The glass in the black keycard room, how much does that reduce damage? I hit 30 bullets of FMJ SX thru the glass on 3 separate people and killed only 1?

[hoary falcon]

Duh, but you can’t say it’s your second language so that excuses not knowing what a words means, and then refusing to change your mind when people tell you you’re wrong. Dummy

[dapper epoch]

It's not an opinion, it's literally a fact that pscav is not a "gimmick". It's a feature in the game

[frigid finch]

no, what i stated was a fact based on our definitions of words

[kindred grotto]

It is a feature but the feature in my opinion is gimmicky

[dapper epoch]

Not the same thing as the feature being a gimmick

[hoary falcon]

Like I said, he’s clearly wrong but unwilling to admit it. Just ignore the idiot

[kindred grotto]

Worded it bad

[kindred grotto]

😦

insulting me bcs i feel a way that you dont agree on

[frail comet]

me when I have to fight a player scav that has 340 HP a paca and a gorno with geksa 🤯🤯🤯

[dapper epoch]

Still don't see your point, in how is the gamemode gimmicky? any more or less than playing as a pmc?

[frigid finch]

i like it cause it adds a middle ground between being shit on by an absolute chad and killing braindead npcs

[kindred grotto]

no risk I think is my main issue w scaving

[dapper epoch]

Thats literally the point

[kindred grotto]

Im aware

[frigid finch]

dude, without scavs this game would have 70% fewer players

[hoary falcon]

Feel however you want. When people are telling you that you’re using a word wrong, don’t stubbornly reject it like a child

[snow jewel]

I mean there's a lil risk

no secure

[kindred grotto]

Im aware

[frigid finch]

so you dont like a feature that retains the overwhelming majority of the playerbase?

[kindred grotto]

You extract, nice. You die, ok whatever

[dapper epoch]

So what exactly is your problem with there being no risk for player scavs

Why does that bother you

I don't get it

[hoary falcon]

Im telling you, this kid is just going to dig his heels in. Not worth the time.

[frigid finch]

and there is risk...its called time...its the opportunity cost of dying on your scav and wasting 20 minutes in a raid that couldve been used on your pmc to level/quest/raid

[dapper epoch]

Oh I know, but it's 11:54 on a workless tuesday, I'm in my shed smoking a blunt and am enjoying the entertainment

[kindred grotto]

Bcs when playing pmcs etc there is risk, risk losing gear etc. Scaving is just risk free pain in the bootyhole

[dapper epoch]

Couldn't have worded it more perfect myself

[hoary falcon]

Im jealous, fair enough

[frigid finch]

anytime you are using a scav, you are literally trading off the ability to raise skills on your pmc

and if you do that a lot...you fall behind

[hoary falcon]

And get exp

[dapper epoch]

Time on scav =/ Time on pmc

[snow jewel]

damn lemme come 😕

[dapper epoch]

Exp on scav =/ Exp on pmc

[dapper epoch]

Come along brother all are welcome

Except those who don't like pscavs

[frigid finch]

if scavving was truly as amazing as you say it is, every single person would take advantage of it

[dapper epoch]

It's a pscav party in my shed

[frigid finch]

but the reality is, its a crutch designed for new players so they dont get left with nothing and no way to get anything

[frail comet]

can I drizzle some crack on the blunt

[kindred grotto]

most people take advantage of scaving me included lol

[kindred grotto]

im aware of that too

[snow jewel]

so that's what they're putting in mules

[dapper epoch]

At the end of the rotation sure, I ain't about that tho

[frigid finch]

i havent touched a scav for over a month prolly...and im not even that good at the game

[frail comet]

man let me put u on

[hoary falcon]

Most players don’t really bother with it after they become experienced at the game. It’s not worth the time cost

[snow jewel]

scavs aren't great at making money either tho.. by the time you spawn all the good stuff is gone

[dapper epoch]

The reality is anything you can do as a scav you can do as a pmc way more efficient for your time

[frail comet]

I play scavs just for rep I don’t do loots runs just run to gate 3

[frigid finch]

yep, this is the risk, sure i can make 500k...but you know what i need more? 13 points in strength lol

[dapper epoch]

Scavs become a fir lab keycard farm hehe

[snow jewel]

and stims :p

[dapper epoch]

Yee

[frail comet]

and marked keys

[tidal lagoon]

later in game main reason to run scav is spawn w cool stuff

[dapper epoch]

I havent gottan a marked key on scav yete

[hoary falcon]

Yea same, if Im waiting for a teammate to get out of raid i’ll theow him into factory and leave asap

[dapper epoch]

Still below 3 rep tho so we'll se

[snow jewel]

I got bedroom once

[hoary falcon]

That’s all scavs are good for me now

[frigid finch]

lol only time ive used a scav ive looked at my inventory and if i start with nothing i just kill myself

[snow jewel]

it's not a great key but I've been riding that high

[dapper epoch]

Had an intelligence folder scav box give me an intelligence folder tho

That was nice

[tidal lagoon]

damn

[dapper epoch]

Honestly fair

Funny to imagine tho

"Aw shit I got nothing on me? Time to fucking die"

[hoary falcon]

I wish Tarkov had a suicide animation like DayZ
Would make for some very funny moment

[dapper epoch]

oml i would love that

You should totally be able to shoot yourself

Might make stuff like those ragman quests self-cheesable tho

[frigid finch]

lol, i just dont need to scav anymore...im just hoarding shit at this point for funsies

[snow jewel]

which ones?

[dapper epoch]

I think it's Sew it good?

Or the ones connected

you can cheese them already

[hoary falcon]

Would have to be head only

[dapper epoch]

Yeah sew it good

[snow jewel]

go woods, run behind vehicle and have sniper shoot you

no one can take your armor cus sniper

and it's in the correct condition

[frigid finch]

whats the best item case barter?

[hoary falcon]

Dog tag by far

[frigid finch]

i will never give up my dog tags lol

[dapper epoch]

LOL i've done that actually, I've had a 3 man team chasing me before, I was at scav town, all my shit was insured. I knew I was gonna die so I just made a bull run as far down the car road as I could until the snipers got me

[hoary falcon]

I think OScope is 2nd best

[snow jewel]

I do the euro one lol

it's def not the best

[tidal lagoon]

get thicc instead

[frigid finch]

i have two cases of dog tags and am working on a third....only turning them in for quests, no barters

[hoary falcon]

Yea item case is sort of a waste

[dapper epoch]

cries in 3 item cases

[snow jewel]

gunsmith barter hella nice tho

[tidal lagoon]

i bought my 4th dogtag case a bit ago, aint no way im using them for no barters

[frigid finch]

i mean, yea...but im 45 and havent found a single FIR Ledx or GPU this wipe...so

[hoary falcon]

Investing in the THICC gives way better returns

[snow jewel]

for the sniper

[dapper epoch]

Which of the thicc case barters are better?

15 ledx is a lot

But so is 50 moonshine

[snow jewel]

alcohol is best iirc

[tidal lagoon]

the blue folder barter is cheapest rn

[dapper epoch]

Blue folder barter?

[tidal lagoon]

ledx is 2nd alcohol is worst cuz alocohls went up in price

[snow jewel]

ah mb then, remember people recommending the alcohol one

[tidal lagoon]

but no one really has that one

so ledx best bet rn

yea alcohol was the best earlier in wipe

[snow jewel]

ledx did drop in price

[dapper epoch]

Where do you get the blue folder barter

[frigid finch]

can obdolbos spawnb on lighthouse?

[dapper epoch]

Which trader?

Dont say lk

[tidal lagoon]

pk 4 after special equipment task

[dapper epoch]

ah

[tidal lagoon]

need to be lvl 60 to get that task tho so yea

[dapper epoch]

Luvly

[dapper epoch]

I mighta sorta be slacking on pk quests

I hate shoreline

[tidal lagoon]

u gotta do em

[frigid finch]

is bitcoin thicc weapon case worth it?

[tidal lagoon]

u close to pk4

[weary meteor]

try hunting goons lmao

[tidal lagoon]

no dont use bitcoin

do emotor barter for weapon case

[snow jewel]

💀

[tidal lagoon]

bitcoin barter is like 3.2 mil

[dapper epoch]

More than u know xD

[snow jewel]

lvl 60?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

if they aint change it

[snow jewel]

nikita actually thinks people have no lives

[tidal lagoon]

nah they aint change it

[snow jewel]

I mean he's kinda right, we play tarkov

[frigid finch]

i meant for the thicc weapon case

[tidal lagoon]

oh

[frigid finch]

is bitcoin worth

[tidal lagoon]

yea still no

[snow jewel]

Bitcoin neva worth

[dapper epoch]

To be fair these quests are prob at least in part designed for a game that doesnt wipe

[frail comet]

I’ve only done 2 ragman quests if that makes u feel better

[tidal lagoon]

think a lot of them are for people who grind to have something to work towards

[snow jewel]

tarkov with no wipe = every dude running tracers and meta kits

[frigid finch]

what else do you do with bitcoin?

[tidal lagoon]

sell to therapist

[frigid finch]

i mean, for a thicc weapon case though, why isnt it a better barter?

[snow jewel]

too expensive

btc is better just to sell

[dapper epoch]

I mean their end goal is to have no wipes and a whole open world map

[tidal lagoon]

20 bitcoin right

[frail comet]

isn’t that like 6 mil

[dapper epoch]

I'd say the game's minimum 5 years away from that point tho

[frigid finch]

where do you get a thicc weapon case thats cheaper?

[tidal lagoon]

like 6.5 mil or smt, better to buy 2 weaon cases and some ammo cases and do that barter

jaeger

[frigid finch]

the one that requires two weapon cases?]

[snow jewel]

imagine the crabbing

[frigid finch]

that you could sell for like 6 mil each?

[snow jewel]

everyone would hoard lmao

[tidal lagoon]

the thing is you cant sell those weapon cases because u bartered for them

[frigid finch]

ohh

[austere jackal]

almost both my scav boxes are full should i take the time to sell everything on flea or therapist

[tidal lagoon]

if u have FIR weapon cases sell them and barter for one instead

[tidal lagoon]

flea

[frigid finch]

yea i have one fir weapon case

[snow jewel]

depends what they're full of

[austere jackal]

alr ig ill sell everything on flea later

[tidal lagoon]

u can sell that weapon cae and get like 2 thicc weapon cases probably

u will want to keep some stuff for quests tho

[dapper epoch]

Well hopefully by then they have more stuff fleshed out for longevity other than high level quests

Because that def won’t be enough to keep people playing this game with no wipes

[tidal lagoon]

rumor is they will have 2 seperate games kinda 1 wiping and 1 not wiping

[dapper epoch]

Theyd have to make some sort of beginner map that you can only access up to level 15 or something, otherwise half of the new players would quit

[snow jewel]

playing with no wipes is pointless

[dapper epoch]

That’s what I’ve heard

[tidal lagoon]

they have said they will have beginner map

[dapper epoch]

A lot of people argue that playing with wipes is pointless

All your stuff gets poof

[snow jewel]

that's like taking rust but making every server permanent, it's just gonna be a grub fest

[dapper epoch]

I don’t play rust

[snow jewel]

but then there's no reason to do anything, you can have 10 thicc cases full of slicks but you won't use them

cus no reason

[dapper epoch]

That’s usually where you’d stop playing and find another game lol

[neon lodge]

I'm interested to see what happens either way, but if there are no wipes then half of the items in the game will be obsolete in a year

[dapper epoch]

What I’m saying is hopefully by the time that comes out, having 10 thicc cases of slicks will be near impossible

[frigid finch]

this game dies with the death of scarcity

[tidal lagoon]

i think they should just have longer wipes or smt maybe, since rn u can really get a lot of ur skills to max

but then the game would get boring cuz the wipe is too long

[snow jewel]

8 month wipes sounds nice

that way you can enjoy your kappa

[frigid finch]

nah 6 months is good...just tune the wipe to fit better within that time period

[tidal lagoon]

the kappa grind becomes quicker and quicker for each wipe tho

[dapper epoch]

They have to figure something out, the game as it is rn would never work With their final visions

[snow jewel]

so many YouTubers played until lvl 15 then stopped

tarkov is a lil silly rn

[tidal lagoon]

i mean

thats busted tho why stop at lvl 15

[snow jewel]

flea prolly

[dapper epoch]

Makes no sense the game literally becomes fun at level 15

[tidal lagoon]

they either have to find the game not fun or just not able to put time into getting good and learning the game

[dapper epoch]

Yeah if you get to level 15 and stop you gotta just like, not enjoy the game

[hoary falcon]

After 15 there’s not really a clear goal. It’s just sort of level up and get better stuff. Some people really don’t like that I’ve found

[dapper epoch]

I can’t see people getting to level 15 and being like “hm, yeah, that’s the peak of my fun with this”

[snow jewel]

people playing tarkov for years are probably bored lol

[dapper epoch]

Kappa’s a pretty clear goal to me

[dapper epoch]

Was talking about those YouTubers

[hoary falcon]

Yea but it so far off that most can’t get motivated for that.

[snow jewel]

lvl 42 is probably my end goal

[tidal lagoon]

max traders lvl 42 is a fairly simple task in a 6month wipe and what most people aim for

[snow jewel]

max traders

[hoary falcon]

15 is a very clear goal that’s not very hard, but after that it’s like Kappa or max traders which require hundreds of hours

[dapper epoch]

And people don’t like that the game they paid for has hundreds of hours of content?

[hoary falcon]

Some people really dislike how little direction there is to the game after 15

[whole thistle]

Set your own goal

[tidal lagoon]

yes its but stopping at lvl 15 is like buying a new game playing for 30 minutes and then saying its dogshit

[whole thistle]

Level 3 traders is fine

[dapper epoch]

Exactly you just kinda set your own goals

[hoary falcon]

That’s my advice. But certain people really don’t like that style

[tidal lagoon]

u barely experienced what the game has to offer before stopping

[dapper epoch]

To people who say that, I say go play a different story game that will hold your hand, this isn’t that

[whole thistle]

Love sandbox

[dapper epoch]

Games clearly not for them then

[frigid finch]

i mean, tarkov is one of those games that you have to be intrinsically motivated to play....bullshit like battle passes and shit have made people feel they need to be rewarded everytime they even look at the game

[dapper epoch]

Exactly

[hoary falcon]

Yea, the point is mostly that Tarkov really isn’t for everyone. Arguably it’s not for most people

Very niche experience

[dapper epoch]

Modern monitization in most games has caused such brainrot in consumers it’s nuts

[dapper epoch]

I agree

[frigid finch]

and it shouldnt be...just like the souls games said fuck hand holding...yet there are still people who think they should add an easy difficulty...instead of just being like "maybe this game isnt for me"

[whole thistle]

Attention spans being 2 seconds is a big issue too lol

My friends can only play short matches on csgo 💀

[snow jewel]

rust low-key worse tho

[dapper epoch]

Everything has to have a flashy unlock screen or a crazy hype reward for doing fuck all, like for literally just playing

[frigid finch]

i mean, to be fair, they are literally victims of predatory practices, so i can only be so upset with them

[snow jewel]

that shi is a job

[tidal lagoon]

i mean minecraft doesnt have much of a set goal but shit worked out

rust bro i quit that shit cba anymore

[hoary falcon]

The people who advocate for an easy mode in souls games are so utterly pathetic. Not every game has to be for everyone.

[dapper epoch]

Minecraft is not comparable to tarkov at ALL tho

[tidal lagoon]

rust took away my life

[dapper epoch]

Minecraft is a sandbox, the entire point is that there’s no defined goal

[whole thistle]

Rust was all I had during quarantine lol

[snow jewel]

gotta wake up at 3 am cus ur getting raided

[dapper epoch]

I considered getting into rust

[hoary falcon]

God I hated rust

[tidal lagoon]

dont get into rust

[hoary falcon]

Great concept, not for me

[tidal lagoon]

it will be your biggest mistake

[whole thistle]

Quarantine rust was so fun

Online school was horrible

[frigid finch]

i just hate it...cause so many games are so mind numbingly boring these days, and they wanted a game that was different to be brought back into the mold

[tidal lagoon]

problem with rust is getting offlined man

[topaz violet]

Tarkov is like the Sekiro of souls games, you're just thrown in given some info and good luck

[dapper epoch]

Holy fuck I missed a souls conversation????

[frigid finch]

that was like when i used to play Eve Online with a null sec corp seriously...

[dapper epoch]

I’m really high

Fuck “easy mode” souls askers

Git gud

[snow jewel]

jukes based

[dapper epoch]

bro Elden ring was so fun

[topaz violet]

Souls games have an easy mode without making an easy mode, just using summons/spirit ashes, it was a smart idea and more games should have assistance tools without just making an easier difficulty

[dapper epoch]

^^^^^^

[tidal lagoon]

damn i been sitting in this chat for an hour instead of making my presentation due in 2 days

[dapper epoch]

If you want an easy mode, use magic and summons, if you wanna actually play the game you go melee :)

[dapper epoch]

Valid

[frail comet]

use chatgpt it takes 10 minutes instead

[frigid finch]

not to mention the games already had an easy difficulty....fucking summoning...and then elden ring went even further and added summoning npcs....so there was an easy difficulty...just wasnt a fucking slider, which is honestly awesome game design

[dapper epoch]

God I wish chat gpt was a thing when I was in school

[snow jewel]

nahhh u still have 1 day and 23 hours left (I be talkin here too much)

[tidal lagoon]

i tried chatgpt yesterday but they only let me ask 2 questions before saying fuck u servers too hot try again in 24 hrs

[dapper epoch]

It’s smart game design instead of “durr durr scale down damage and health knock my fucking club on my caveman brain oogabooga”

[snow jewel]

it's not that great lol

[dapper epoch]

Bring out the wallet and subscribe to that bitch

[frail comet]

It is if you use the 4th version

[dapper epoch]

Still can give you an idea when you have fuck all to write about

[frigid finch]

i cant raid cause i have no space in my inventory and im too lazy to clear through it so im just staring at my stash annoyed

[snow jewel]

chat gpt is good for an idea, not the writing tho

[frail comet]

Send stash pic

[dapper epoch]

Literally just paraphrase it and make it your own

[tidal lagoon]

honestly bro i might just, but i gotta make and edit a video presentation to suit people of my age which is fucking over my brain

[tidal lagoon]

reset tbh bro no other way

[dapper epoch]

^

[frigid finch]

hahah an epic level 45 reset

[dapper epoch]

I’m resetting as soon as I get kappa

[frigid finch]

i know what i need to do...i just dont want to do it lol

[dapper epoch]

Like I’m literally not even putting on the armband or equipping the container

I’m clicking turn in, complete, then alt+f4 til next wipe

[frail comet]

I’d rather kill myself

[dapper epoch]

I’m capping so hard rn

[frail comet]

the only fun thing in the game is pvp quests are lame

[frigid finch]

like...this game becomes impossible to play for me when i go on a survival streak...im on 9 and dont want to clear out shit i dont need cause im a hoarder

[tidal lagoon]

yea i was thinking bro aint no fucking way

[snow jewel]

some quests are fun

and some pvp is bs

[frigid finch]

and still have ptsd from when i started playing this game last wipe and literally never had anything ever...so i keep everything i can

[frail comet]

I like the sharpshooter ones

[dapper epoch]

That was my sprite talking

[frail comet]

and shit where u have to kill players

[snow jewel]

bro def keeps 10 batteries at any time

[dapper epoch]

sprite
