[somber summit]

fun is subjective mate

[indigo fog]

tarkov is fun?

[lone hinge]

no my bad

its not fun but makes you come back its like bdsm

but with guns 💀

[buoyant mason]

Fun is not having to devote too much time to jaeger and actually being able to do normal people things

[indigo fog]

still seems like an equal amount of ass play so its a good comparison

[narrow gull]

truuuu

fuck jaeger

though his dailies are pretty easy and give rep

[buoyant mason]

id pay for eod just for the jaeger standing alone

[indigo fog]

id buy 2 copies to skip that prat

[lone hinge]

being in a first wolrd country moment

here i can buy 3 eods on minimum per economy

/month

small numbers

and im at uni 💀 good luck buyng that eod

[buoyant mason]

can't help the minimum wage matey

[indigo fog]

just vpn mistplay on and emu in the background and earn big internet bucks

on an emu*

[hallow island]

as in the bird emu? sure

[indigo fog]

new meaning to "mobile app"

[lone hinge]

its not worth the time tbh

mistplay its juts a big ad

[indigo fog]

i run it on an old phone or 2 and afk and earn passive cash...when i remember to charge them....stupid micro usb phones... i bet ive made 100 bucks while playing real games. thats even without emu on the pc

[lone hinge]

in how much time did you made that 100

[indigo fog]

time played or time with the app open or time from start to finish?

[lone hinge]

start to finish

[indigo fog]

months

but if you used the app to play games you could easily make 5-15 aweek per devices

[lone hinge]

oif it took 4 montsh you made 40$ profit

taking up the the times you had to charge the phone internet

miss stuff

[indigo fog]

its allprofit if you arent doing anything

[open hedge]

I make about 20k profit a day if I’m lucky

[lone hinge]

not playing scav moment

not having money forcae a hobo from the street to loot stores for you

easy

if the feds asking tell them im a scav main

they will be disgusted and you will be senteced as insane and get away with 8 montsh of menatl health institution

easy

[indigo fog]

scav maining is fun. its a horror game where you should play in the dark alone and hide from the monstrous pmcs. also should be dorms/ interchange runs

[open hedge]

I don’t like running scav it’s too peaceful

[lone hinge]

its free money you can do easy 50 k from the scav gear alone

[open hedge]

Boring

[lone hinge]

loot couple of minutes easy 100k

[hallow island]

like i understand scavving for money

but people that constantly scav for money and dont even use that money for anything

whats the point?

[open hedge]

That’s what I’m saying

I should do a thing next wipe where the whole wipe I sell everything I find to fence except task items and see how much money I get before I off myself

I’ll only use a melee weapon

[indigo fog]

switching monitor wouldnt need to minimize the program

[narrow gull]

(yes i use chrome, idc)

[open hedge]

Chrome is fine if you like having your ram munched on

[narrow gull]

[open hedge]

I’d say cousin

[lone hinge]

[lusty glacier]

is there some sort of balance when it comes to your confidence in a game? For the past few years, mainly playing csgo ive been rather critical of my own gameplay for the sake of trying to change my mistakes and improve. now im starting to think I'm not playing confident enough because 'i can never be the best unless im literally number 1' or something like that

[open hedge]

I’m too ballsy

But you should keep a solid balance between how good you are and your confidence

[inland marlin]

expecting yourself to be #1 is pretty unreasonable

[open hedge]

Play as confident as you can back

[lusty glacier]

thats not the expectation, rather its that i feel like, someone in this game will always be better

[inland marlin]

thats life

it shouldnt affect how you do your own thing though

thats not your problem how good other people are

especially in this game when performance as a solo is entirely on you. most people of higher skill can be avoided or outsmarted

[quiet mauve]

yo

[lusty glacier]

i have 1k hours so i guess im at like an intermediate stage where im quite ahead of the small fry but quite behind the people with several thousand hours, not sure where to go from here..

[solid agate]

1k is beginner tbh

[lusty glacier]

idk how it scales with menu time soo

[quiet mauve]

i have like 500 afk hours bruh

[open hedge]

What’s your kd

[quiet mauve]

beat that

[inland marlin]

practice alot and try to seriously learn every detail and you will start to close the skill gap

[unique steeple]

youd still be beginner with 10k hours

[solid agate]

how many u got

u afk all day

[lusty glacier]

cant check but its like 1.5 pmc k/d, dunno about the actual k/d

[unique steeple]

1k

[open hedge]

Cus I only have 1k hours yet I keep up with really beefy people that have more hours than me

[inland marlin]

hours dont make you good, bullets kill everyone

[open hedge]

Yeah but people are calling 1k hours beginner

[potent crater]

I cant sign into tarkov rn is anyone else having the same problem?

[open hedge]

But I wouldn’t consider myself one

[lusty glacier]

tarkov has a lot more menu time so it makes sense that 1k hours is beginner

[solid agate]

its really subjective

some people just avoid fights

but higher hours generally means more knowledge

[open hedge]

I seek out fights

[inland marlin]

but most people around 1k hours start having a decent grasp on the game, usually they can manage on their own. but with everyones skill progressing differently, using any number of hours as a benchmark of experience is useless

[solid agate]

like in rust

1k is beginner

5k is average

[inland marlin]

especially when you consider the hours spread between wipes. who is better, 1k in 1 wipe or 1k in 4

[solid agate]

10k is chad

true

its really subjective and differs a lot

and u have to consider hours in other games

that help with this one

[inland marlin]

in my personal experience, that is subject to personal skill levels, most people aren't competitive as in deadly until around 3-5k

around 3k people start thinking they know everything and cant get any better and it limits them

[open hedge]

I have about 1.8k hours on siege so that could help me a bit

[inland marlin]

but from 3-5k if you practice and refine your skills by 6-7k usually people with that many hours are pretty great players

[lusty glacier]

ive played 3k hours of csgo and i feel like i know nothing

and this is of playing seriosuly to improve

like,, im grasping the basics of the advanced

[inland marlin]

i like to try to play with people with 5k hours or more because they generally know as much about the maps as I do and have decent comms, and dont panic and dont need to constantly know where im at

and can be self sufficient

but people usually under that, seem to have those characteristics

[solid agate]

i played rust and it helped me a lot

[open hedge]

Tarkov is the first game I’ve like ever taken seriously so that may be why I do well pretty quick

[inland marlin]

this is from playing with several hundred people, pretty weird

[lusty glacier]

what would you focus on to improve on my position?

[open hedge]

I say taken seriously when I bring tozs into raids with scopes for kills

[solid agate]

map knowledge

and game sense

[open hedge]

I’m kind of a joke

[inland marlin]

when i was where you were at, but a bit more, i practiced all my map knowledge and gameplay mechanics

gameplay mechanics by practicing everything vs offline scavs. if you want to test your skills go get 30 kills with 50% headshots on offline factory impossible horde

i do that every day as a warm up, practice that until its easy for you

[lusty glacier]

ooh

[inland marlin]

usually i do it several times a day

[real trellis]

im having troubles signing in

[inland marlin]

make sure your point shooting, cross hair placement, peeking skills and movement is solid

[solid agate]

server breakdown

[real trellis]

oh so its not just me#

[lusty glacier]

would you go back and repeat a movement (e.g. if your crosshair placement was off) to make sure its spot on?

[inland marlin]

if you cant do impossible because its too hard do as online and when i do that I typically do 50+ scavs with 50% or greater headshots. i do this because impossible scavs recently were buffed and have more hp than normal scavs.

[inland marlin]

whenever i miss and fail to kill the scav instantly with a peek I reposition and take an entirely different angle to practice movement in combat and map knowlege

as well as building the habit to never repeek twice

[real trellis]

so is it the servers having troubles or is it my end?

[open hedge]

Servers

[inland marlin]

if you want I can send you a vod of me walking through someone else about this same thing yesterday

[lusty glacier]

that'd be great

[real trellis]

Normalise full sprinting at random women walking alone at night - best bio ever

[open hedge]

Indeed

[solid agate]

im just so excited to help them out

im sprinting towards them yelling about how much i wanna help

[real trellis]

exactly dont wanna make them feel lonely

[open hedge]

[lusty glacier]

ive also been rather fixated on doing duos with some specific people who ask me to play, and not doing many new things. do you recommend solos (i never play solos) or any specific maps?

[open hedge]

I recommend trios

[river tide]

i tend to improve more while playing solo

makes you relay on no one but yourself

[inland marlin]

solo and squad skillsets are two different things

[open hedge]

Easy to coordinate team plays whilst not having too much chaos

[lusty glacier]

i thought it might be limitting me, since im worried about making the wrong move with my duo

[open hedge]

3 team

[lusty glacier]

ive never wanted to play anything over trios

[primal crow]

less teamkills and less people angry when playing solo tbh

[lusty glacier]

i dont rly have any issues with that^

[river tide]

and more loot for yourself

[lusty glacier]

i play with the same few people but i dont think we have the same goals

its rather fun but i also dont want to limit my skill improving

[open hedge]

Personally when I play with a team if they are well synchronized with me they bring out my best

I am also my teams leader so that may have something to do with it

[river tide]

i have to carry the only people i play with so that is why i prefer solo

[lusty glacier]

what general things would you do in fights as a duo? areas such as dorms, resort

[open hedge]

Pinch

[lusty glacier]

in terms of moving around the building during a fight

[primal crow]

flanking?

[open hedge]

Duos can pinch with a push

It’s pretty effective in my experience

[lusty glacier]

im worried about going for a flank and i just get myself killed while my duo sits there

[open hedge]

Depends on your area tho

[inland marlin]

depends on the skill of your duo. it limits you if theyre not good as well

[lusty glacier]

ofc not any blame on them if i get myself killed, but i end up just not making any moves quickly

[river tide]

when i 1v2 people its much easier to kill them in the same hallway than if they were to cross fire me

[inland marlin]

an ideal maneuver would be. one guy holds first floor and second guy clears. first guy maneuvers to flank when you take contact. second guy will hold contact and callout location changes for first guy. then you pinch

[narrow gull]

are servers back?

[river tide]

no

[primal crow]

no

[lusty glacier]

im playing with some arma 3 guy who plays a small-mid amount every wipe

[lusty glacier]

hmm so like in the resort you can clear 1st floor together while one guy moves up to 2nd to clear it.

i like the idea

[open hedge]

I’ve played since day 1 with the same team it really helps us coordinate when we are always together when we play

[inland marlin]

maybe. i meant in dorms. resort is a bit differnt. most people cant navigate resort as easily. so if your partner cant splitting up is a bad idea.

its also bigger. which means it takes longer to back someone up. so thats the problem with a duo

[lusty glacier]

right i gotcha

[inland marlin]

the biggest danger to a duo is to get your forces split up. then your not a duo you are two solos

[lusty glacier]

depends what u mean by navigating

i know the resort but i dont know KNOW the resort, all the balconies and holes and stuff

[inland marlin]

if i was 3rd floor west 301 and you were first floor midddle of the hallway

where am i? and do you know how to get there in the next 10 seconds

some do some dont but if you both cant answer that then sticking together is better

[lusty glacier]

west 301 must be near the windows at the edge soo id run to the stairs towards east side?

[inland marlin]

second and third floor numbers are always lowest the closer they are to the middle (admin) building

so west 301 is the closest room to admin on third floor of west wing

[lusty glacier]

i figured

[inland marlin]

also

when you split up you both need to be able to communicate where you are

imagine you ran up there from first and hes in a gunfight, it can be hard to tell who is who

so those are the kinds of problems that are limited by all members of a squad and their skill

if im ever playing seriously i tend to prefer very skilled squad mates otherwise i enjoy solo more

[lusty glacier]

i wouldnt mind learning together, or at least trying

i suppose you're at the point where you're looking for no mistakes and more success

[open hedge]

Hey grimdark how effective do you think 3 stacks are in most environments?

[lusty glacier]

what sort of communication goes into knowing where everyone is in larger squads? to me its unfathomable

[inland marlin]

Most people in my experience do not play for as much or as long as I do so it is an endless cycle of educating new squad mates

[solid agate]

is the game up yet

[inland marlin]

but i am a game teacher so i do enough of that on the regular. so when i play my own gameplay style i just solo. Lol

XD

[solid agate]

can u learn from you

[narrow gull]

4 man squads are generally people that know each other

[inland marlin]

me from me or you from me

i try to learn from me alot

[solid agate]

both m'lord

[narrow gull]

so easier to communicate than a group of randoms

[solid agate]

we should play sometimes

sometime

[narrow gull]

if it's randoms it's usually one guy leading everyone else

[bold kernel]

^

[solid agate]

thats the fun with randoms

[inland marlin]

if you can connect to NA we could play

[solid agate]

im NAE

[primal crow]

if im playing with a duo who is good at eft, what is my purpose? be a walking loot box?

[solid agate]

yes

thats what happened when i played with a lvl 71

[inland marlin]

you should seek to cover the angles that they are not... and back them up in a fight

... and other stuff

[solid agate]

he literally told me not to peak so i would survive

then wiped out a 4 man

[primal crow]

im not good at pvp

[inland marlin]

minimal side talk, and routine location updates. squads of 5 imo require different techniques

squads of 4 with good comm players is usually fine

[solid agate]

5 is hectic

but fun

[inland marlin]

either all together or split 2 and 2

[solid agate]

if u have good coms

[silent vigil]

when i play with my new friends i end up just making them cover me when i heal or reload ect lmao

[inland marlin]

go practice in offline mode

[silent vigil]

than give them loot when fight is over

[solid agate]

ye same

even tho im new theres stil people under me

[narrow gull]

offline to practice pvp doe

am i missing something

[inland marlin]

if you cant kill scavs easily you will struggle with players

scavs are a good first step so that you can become comfortable with the guns and equipment and meds under stress

[silent vigil]

labs raiders on impossible

[solid agate]

oof

[silent vigil]

and horde

[solid agate]

good luck with ur loading screns

[open hedge]

I would like to play with some Sherpa or whatever but I’m so used to being team leader I’m pretty bad at taking orders so

[solid agate]

when u finna play

tomorrow?

im east coast

first wipe

[narrow gull]

no but like killing scavs is only about good aim and going into cover when you hear them aggro
not like pvp with positioning, grenades, peeker's advantage, rotations

sound

[inland marlin]

probably tomorrow. im supposed to help a couple people today. if they still play

[solid agate]

ok

[primal crow]

with what

[inland marlin]

you can practice all of that offline if you choose to, and many new players need to practice aim first off anyways

[primal crow]

default m4's in my stash?

[inland marlin]

alot of new players will take an entire mag to kill a scav. thats not quite necessary

[narrow gull]

how're you going to practice positioning without an enemy though, scavs don't come anywhere close to simulating what players do

[inland marlin]

practice the mechanics that translate to good positioning. like peeking correctly, using right side peeks, jiggle and freelook peeking, flanking an enemy, ect

and then execute them when you find somebody in a real raid.

[open hedge]

They should make a factory offline mode where every scav has killas ai for maximum practice

[inland marlin]

you may think its not beneficial but after a few thousand hours of doing that a few times a day i started wiping lobbies pretty consistently

so it worked well for me

[narrow gull]

how're you going to know if you jiggle peeked right if you don't get shot in the head when you do it wrong

[inland marlin]

i think its pretty simple if you know what it should look like to emulate it

you peek till you can see the information while exposing as little as possible

doesnt take a genius lol

[narrow gull]

no offense, but i'm not sure most newbies are commited to couple thousand hours

[inland marlin]

thats ok

[narrow gull]

it's like trying to imitate a professional swimmer, you can try, but you're probably not going to come close

[inland marlin]

well if you practice swimming a few times a day youll naturally become a better swimmer. maybe not olympic but better than before

[narrow gull]

unless you reinforce bad habbits, that's why there are swimming instructors

[inland marlin]

well, i am a swim instructor. lol

[narrow gull]

by that you'd have to be there and watch people jiggle peek and give pointers

[inland marlin]

i do

💩

[open hedge]

I think you’re just mad that he’s better at teaching then you

[fervent swift]

Yes, but even with the bad habits they will become better through sheer experience

[primal crow]

jiggling got 1 of my friends to quit eft until its nerfed ᵒʳ ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗʰⁱⁿᵍ ⁱ ᵈᵒⁿᵗ ᵏⁿᵒʷ

[inland marlin]

yeah the movement stuff is pretty interesting atm. inertia will hit and we will see what thats all about

[narrow gull]

like idk, if you do watch them ig that works
i kinda got the implication that you advised him to practice alone, maybe i'm wrong for assuming
though i don't think there's enough shorpas for every newbie learning to jiggle peek

[inland marlin]

i look forward to it if implemented as I foresee it and Im personally not a fan of this jiggleshit meta

but thats fps gaming for ya

[primal crow]

well thats good to hear

ill maybe get a carry who i know irl

still cant understand how my 1st kill was a lvl 51 pmc

[inland marlin]

if im working with someone in a sherpa session i will watch them but generally just being aware of the exercise is enough. for most new players jiggle peeking is not the focus of learning but simply being calm and headtapping scavs

i havent had a single new player complain about it, and i usually have them get 20 kills with 50% headshots in as online horde mode

which gives them the confidence in raid to complete quests better -- alot of them express to me how much it helps

but for new players its just the basics. but when people want to expand their pvp gameplay, getting the muscle memory quickly via offline raids is much more efficient way to refine techniques imo

[pure mist]

Inertia will make me quit the game

[pure mist]

Teach pls

[narrow gull]

i don't teach pvp on the account of sucking at it

[sonic arrow]

are servers still down

[errant pewter]

Good, do it. It's gonna make me come back to the game.

[pure mist]

why?

[errant pewter]

It evens itself out.

[pure mist]

don't tell me you tired of "cod" style of game

[fathom ocean]

🍿

[errant pewter]

why? because I don't need this pile of bullshit COD strafing. That's not why I bought the came when there were only talks about it, and one video.

YES! COD!

[pure mist]

lmao

it still won't change anything, people that beated you will still beat you

[narrow gull]

what's up with all the people comparing this game to cod

[errant pewter]

nomnom, eat that pop corns, everybody gets beaten in this game. Two wipes 50% survival rate, enough from me, until I see some real change.

[pure mist]

They got beat up by aggressive plays they blame cod

[pure mist]

Lol flexing sr really shows how noob you are

[errant pewter]

😗

[inland marlin]

[inland marlin]

troo dat

[unique steeple]

u right🙏

[narrow gull]

they're not going to be able to do anything dumb while the game is down anyway

[pure mist]

nikita sleeping deep rn

[tacit rose]

What are some things i should sell and keep?

[rain breach]

Sell things you're too afraid to use and lose and buy things you're less afraid to lose

Obviously make sure things arent used for a quest you'll come up to soon, but I've found I sit on things for the longest time because I'm too afraid to do anything with it and it just sits there

[kind obsidian]

it still happens

[cursive wedge]

When is wipe?

[celest sage]

We don’t know but if it follows similarly to past wipes somewhere around new year, but again that’s just my personal speculation

[minor notch]

server still down ey

[wispy willow]

21min queue fr shoreline- still waiting

[sturdy niche]

omg whats happening

[gray lodge]

Servers are having a tough time haha

[wispy willow]

29min now im stopping

[gray lodge]

Heh, sounds fun

[drifting jolt]

quit

never wait more than 6 or 8 minutes

[delicate ledge]

yeah like 15 mins max for me

[wispy willow]

i did already

[sacred needle]

Nyep you will probably have a very hard time finding a raid btw because the servers are currently off for most of the people

[wispy willow]

was going to take advantage of less players by hunting sani but decided to learn lab by offlining

[sacred needle]

honestly if you have the money might not hurt to just run labs normally with the low pop on the servers

[wispy willow]

i have played labs once

i feel that i want to learn map first

[sacred needle]

only need like 1 or 2 other people to get in the queue other than you and it will start

[wispy willow]

how the hell is black keycard sold out when most servers are down

[sacred needle]

some players can still be on but most are not able to get in

[pure mist]

good map

[wispy willow]

only thing i want rn for quests is Meldonin, so either sanny or black room

[summer cedar]

yo, which weapon calibre would you say is good for mid-game question: ie lv 35-ish

i usually run 5.45 because aks and ak modding is dirt cheap, plus a single goshan scav run nets me like 3-6 tushonka to trade for BT

[wispy willow]

how much is your budget for lvl 35

[summer cedar]

but i hear 5.56 is more effective at a cheaper price point, but you need to do some pk quests first

[drifting jolt]

shout outs to the only guy using his scav run to check Goshan

[wispy willow]

M856a1 is better than 545 bt

[summer cedar]

by budget do you mean how much i have rn, or how much i usually spend a kit?

[wispy willow]

both

btw 43min customs scav run wtf

and he spawns with lab card

[summer cedar]

well i've got 5.5 mil liquid cash, and i usually spend about 200k a kit

i usually just do a barter for tv-110, buy a flora ratnik because it's cheaper, gssh and i mod my 74n to hit 60 recoil and 60 ergo

[wispy willow]

how much usd

[summer cedar]

8k

i need to level up pk anyways so why not
