[oblique crest]

my ping was like 25 the whole time. can you just dc and disapear or something?

i kinda got shafted out of a tag anf loot

[grizzled cosmos]

Nope, if you DC your body stays behind to prevent stuff like that from happening.

-and it's not your ping that matters, it's his and the stability of the server.

[oblique crest]

hmm

oh well

[grizzled cosmos]

Since your ping is the connection to the server, not to other players.

[oblique crest]

i didnt die to it guess thats all that matters

[grizzled cosmos]

Ye.

I've been on both sides of that before. I once got shown a video where I teleported around a corner and shot a guy in the face with a pistol, where on my screen he was just standing still.

[oblique crest]

hmm first time seeing this myself, just wondering where he went i looked around a bit no trace of him, my shots totally hit him though since none of the scavs i killed had armor and i had a good amount of armor dmg

[grizzled cosmos]

What it sounds like happened is that before you actually closed with the shotgun, on his game he ran away from you or dove for cover somewhere else, and while the game on your end wasn't tracking his XYZ position it was tracking the standing/prone position.

Which is why he was standing and proning so erratically, then when your game caught up he disappeared.

[oblique crest]

orrr... orrrrrr... he is a space ninja

[grizzled cosmos]

Y'know

thinking about it

that is the most likely answer

🤔

[oblique crest]

i knew it

[smoky burrow]

How active is the game? I've been wanting to buy it for a long time, and I think I'm gonna get it in like the next week, but I'm concerned about the player count.

[oblique crest]

there is lots of servers in different time zones i can always find people

this game is only going to get more busy as they continue to add stuff also

[smoky burrow]

Sweet. The game looks like it feels good, and honestly, I don't know why I've waited so long to buy it

[fiery coral]

no worries

[oblique crest]

it is pretty fun, but very unforgiving think games like squad, arma and the likes

[fiery coral]

its a pretty good time to join

next update is gonna be the biggest one ever

[smoky burrow]

ooohh

[fiery coral]

player count is the last thing you should be worried about tbh

[oblique crest]

i do think this game is just about to hit its stride, a big patch is coming up.

i am addicted to buying and outfitting guns, its one of the highlights of this game i think personally

[smoky burrow]

I really enjoy games where you lose everything when you die. Also, the "beta" is just an early access state, right? Like the servers are always up unless like down for maintenance or something?

[fiery coral]

ye

[oblique crest]

yep

[fiery coral]

and maintenance is a rare sight too

[smoky burrow]

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Now I gotta find a way to make some money lol

[oblique crest]

check out veritas on youtube he is great for figuring things out

[fiery coral]

or pestily

[oblique crest]

also he is pretty fun to watch in general

[fiery coral]

or like any youtuber/streamer

but ye better check some streamers or yotubers before u get into

[smoky burrow]

lol, I'll probably be watching a lot of stuff until I actually get the game

[oblique crest]

make liberal use of your scav when you are starting out it will help you get situated without risking your own stuff

also if you run 2 moniters i tend to run maps on my other screen it helps you to learn where you are much faster

https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov

[smoky burrow]

Yeah, a second monitor is on my list of things I gotta purchase. I unfortunately don't have a summer job at the moment, so I just have to get money where I can

[oblique crest]

no worries

[smoky burrow]

Been a long night for me, so I'm gonna try to catch some sleep. Thanks for all the information

[oblique crest]

np

[scenic current]

Yeah, you can use a scav to get easy gear.

I wonder if Tarkov will at least keep a firing range mode or something so that I can try out the guns I mod without risking losing them because I shot.

[digital jetty]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/cfkjl5/me_and_the_bois_when_a_pmc_enters_the_mall/

can someone press F for me

[smoky grotto]

also some big thing that we can't talk about is already done and you will be happy to know what it is later

YEAH a new movie, /ironie off.

[digital jetty]

im pumped for a RAID episode

they look good

[smoky grotto]

0.12 would be the worst patch ever. If they are not bringing a HUGE solution against hackers, that basicly means the company doesnt know what is important and what issnt. And If there is no HUGe hacker update the game is dead at least for me.

If they cant fix hackers thats fine, than give us a deathcam.

[digital jetty]

deathcam is coming

confirmed

[winged hearth]

https://youtu.be/usBqRxSY3v0 ❤

[fiery coral]

@scenic current hideout will have a firing range

[scenic current]

:D

[blissful thunder]

@smoky grotto did u unfriend me man?

@modest ice @versed cradle In the future, #pvp-lfg.

[smoky grotto]

#eft-chat has turned into off-topic, so I'm here to talk about eft.

I'm curious as to what people think about the military map, what's going to be good about it, and what's going to be bad about it.

I think that the idea of mounted LMGs will be pretty cool, I imagine that the ammo will be expensive though.

[hard jasper]

is trading not allowed in this discord? just wondering, im also in the trading community discord

[bronze walrus]

I've seen trading happen.

Pretty sure I saw a mod being totally casual about it.

Don't think you've anything to worry about. Don't hang me up on it, though.

[hard jasper]

yeah...just strange they dont have a channel for it if allowed

[quaint stag]

Trading is allowed, but there is no specific channel for it.

I would have directed you to the other trading discord, but I see you're already in it.

[smoky grotto]

speechless

[smoky grotto]

Would anyone be willing to help me? I have trouble making profit, I just need a little guidence.

[ripe zenith]

what seems to be the problem

[thick seal]

He said already

" I have trouble making profit "

[ripe zenith]

right, so he could explain what problems he's having so he can be assisted, rather than a vague blanket statement. details

[vocal folio]

go do a scav run

all profit

[smoky grotto]

@rustic quail Wanna play?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XkdD34yKis @compact robin its got lots of chaos and growling lol

[compact robin]

I’ll give it a shot

Also, Time Travels Menacingly

I like it

Thats a fucking rhythm

[forest lance]

Lol you think I should keep playing eft with a 950 gtx or just wait for a better graphics card

[tawny glacier]

If your CPU is good then just put everything on low

Or play at 720p

[grizzled cosmos]

@forest lance
Post the rest of your stats m'dude.

[forest lance]

It took me a bit to find my cpu and I would need to go home to check my ram

But I have a
AMD RYZEN 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz

I know I have like 8gb of ram

I was thinking of overclocking my cpu to help

[grizzled cosmos]

You should be able to run med-low, your CPU is more than fine since it's the same as mine.

I would reccomend a better GPU and Memory eventually though.

[forest lance]

Oh definitely I have a 1060 waiting in my cart

For when I have a little spending money

And I'm thinking if just getting new ram sticks instead of just getting two more of the same ram I have

[grizzled cosmos]

Agree.

[forest lance]

Sweet.

Now how bout them marked key spawns 👀👀

[grizzled cosmos]

Scav pockets.

[tawny glacier]

Marked key is borderline free this late into a wipe

Like prolly under 50k

[grizzled cosmos]

Ye

[forest lance]

Worth spending my hard earned rubbles

I'm only like lvl 8

Eccs dee

[grizzled cosmos]

Definitely worth.

[compact robin]

You can pull 1-200k ₽ in a scav IC run

[forest lance]

Ic?

[silk trail]

Interchange

1-200k is lowballing it

[forest lance]

Ah fuck I usually play customs

Interchange is lowkey kind of intimidating

[compact robin]

I’ve never breached 200k ₽ on a PScav run

Interchange has great maps

Online

[forest lance]

And I don't know where the hot spots for loot is

[tawny glacier]

Interchange is a sick map. Two big easy extracts and a whole shitfuckton of loot strewn across the map without needing keys

[compact robin]

And it’s got a lot of scavs, but if you stay out of the middle hallway you’ll be Gucci

[tawny glacier]

Most pvp condenses in the main hallways near Kiba

Ye

[compact robin]

@forest lance Look online for a map, it’ll show you the hotspots

[forest lance]

Yeah kiba has all the good shit though

Plus thst med store

[compact robin]

The bottom garage has maybe 20-30 weapon crates

[silk trail]

!wiki interchange

[compact robin]

Kiba needs 2 keys

[primal cypress]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Interchange

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Interchange

Interchange is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the fifth location that was added to the game.

[compact robin]

Waste of time

[latent karma]

WAIT

WTF

LOL

I just did a factory run with a grach scav

and i met a guy with fort and kiver with no face shield

1 tapped him

i jsut got my first fort armor

[compact robin]

Well done

[latent karma]

and its pretty good durability

64/75

[forest lance]

Ayy

[latent karma]

how much does that go for

[forest lance]

What gun were you using?

[latent karma]

Grach

as a scav

In factory

How much does a 64/75 Fort go for

[compact robin]

It goes for good raids on labs

I’d keep it

[latent karma]

well

i dont have much $

kinda noob

[forest lance]

You're trying to sell it on the flea?

See how much one of the traders would buy it for

[compact robin]

@latent karma Being a noob is ok. Just know that in the future you’ll want that stuff, but it’s rare to come across if you don’t use the overpriced flea market.

What you’ll learn is that it’s not hard to make rupees, you just have to get used to the tricks

[forest lance]

Tricks as in scav runs

?

Do you do barters alot?

[latent karma]

@compact robin its pretty hard for me

to make $$

idky

[compact robin]

Barters do not give you as much money as the flea market

Have you tried just running a few scav runs? Berry?

[latent karma]

i have

but that was the Only GOOD one

[compact robin]

On what maps, what’s your go to?

[digital jetty]

berry

[latent karma]

Fac

[compact robin]

That’s the problem

Factory doesn’t give good loot

[digital jetty]

factory is the fast pvp map

[compact robin]

Try interchange, get a map out from online with the loot spawns

[latent karma]

but i dont know that map

for shit

[digital jetty]

if you want good loot you have shoreline, interchange if you have kiba or know the tetris spawns

[compact robin]

You need to learn it

[latent karma]

i know only factory and labs well

[digital jetty]

customs for reshala and marked room

[latent karma]

I tried shorline

[compact robin]

noob knows labs what

[latent karma]

1/4 tries i actually foudn the restaurant

[compact robin]

Interchange isn’t hard to learn. Use the maps and remember the hallways

[tawny glacier]

On IC just keep in mind whichever exit you have, and then move through the mall checking every store along the way

[compact robin]

^

[tawny glacier]

South exit is behind OLI which is the southern big store

And North exit is a bit away from the front of IDEA which is the northern big store

[latent karma]

ill give it a try

idk what these things are

[forest lance]

Yeah damn factory and labs are like some high level shit

[tawny glacier]

OLI is green big store, IDEA is blue big store

The mall is between them

[compact robin]

@latent karma Just play scavs on it for a while. Goshan is on the east end and the main entrance is on the west. Look around while you’re playing and start memorizing the outside look of the mall

[tawny glacier]

Ye

[forest lance]

Offline mode is also a thing too

[compact robin]

Idea is on the north and Oli on the South

[tawny glacier]

The parking garage is mostly just scavs and has some loot, but is kinda confusing to learn

The stores themselves are pretty simple

[compact robin]

That’s on the ground floor, Mall, Oli, and Idea are on the second

And the third level has a few restaurants and tech stores

Eventually you learn things like Emercom is never open and Techlight is next to the western Oli escalator

And that if you look closely from the highway you can see Korgi camping the second level like

[tawny glacier]

[compact robin]

Am camping for fren

[forest lance]

[grizzled cosmos]

Shhhh

It's not camping

It's holding your position

or sniping

depending on your kit.

[forest lance]

I got a svd

Should i sell it

Or use that mf

[grizzled cosmos]

It's one helluva gun

[compact robin]

Depends

[grizzled cosmos]

but it's unsuppressed

[compact robin]

I’d sell it because it’s not by play style

Or I’d hoard it because I like it’s aesthetics in my stash

[forest lance]

Well I got it off sniper scav

[compact robin]

It’d be decoration only tho

[forest lance]

On customs

I could sell it and build an m4 from an adar

Thst would be fun

[latent karma]

@compact robin should i do Night?

or day

[compact robin]

Day

You’re a player scav, you shouldn’t be shot at

[latent karma]

ok

time to do interchange..

[compact robin]

But make sure to avoid the middle hallway. There’s a scav boss called Killa thatll rip you open

Even if you’re a scav

[latent karma]

really?

tf

i spawned in some garage

[compact robin]

Yep

So you’re under the mall. Basically, that’s the bottom level. It has a bunch, like a fuck ton, of crates for weapons and parts. @latent karma

Above you is the second floor. You’ll find more jackets and scavs, and a lot of dead bodies, but it’s more dangerous.

Above that is the second level. It has a few great spots with high values spawns, but as a scav, they’ve likely already been looted

[latent karma]

oh shit

i shouldve looted that

before i went upstairs

i just went into a store called techlight

didnt fidn anythin

[tawny glacier]

Techlight is great to check tho, also Tekno which is under it

And along the hallway leading from Oli (so left turn once you come down the escalator from techlight) there's a third tech store called Rasmussen

[latent karma]

idk where i am anymor

in some computer room

downstairs

[tawny glacier]

Desks and PC's?

Sounds like one of the offices

[latent karma]

im in some green area now

[compact robin]

That’s Oli

You’re at the southern end of the map

You went north to south

So if you have southeast exfil, use that to orient yourself

Oli doesn’t have much except for scavs

[latent karma]

kinda sucks my scav had no bp

[compact robin]

You can loot one

Look at idea or Oli for some dead bodies

[latent karma]

oh

speaking of bp

found a scav bp

lol

[compact robin]

There you go!

[latent karma]

it was on some wooden area

in oli

[compact robin]

Coolio!

What’s your exfil btw?

[latent karma]

its a scav

Both north and south

i got 28 mins

if i hug a wall ill eventually get there right?

[tawny glacier]

Just get out of the store and if you see a parking lot, head to the front-right corner of the map from where you came out from

And if you see loading ramps, do the same

[compact robin]

Yep, so basically you went north to south. One exfil is to your southeast and one to the northeast

But I’d keep moving around to get more loot

It’s not a dangerous map

[latent karma]

im gonna exit out the front

where do i go

[compact robin]

The main entrance, down the stairs?

@latent karma

[latent karma]

main enterenace

the glass area

[compact robin]

Ok. So you go forwards and right

Leaving that entrance, you’re facing west

And your exfil is northwest

[latent karma]

purely by looting i dont see y this map is all that good

compared to factory quick pvp

[compact robin]

Because you are leaving after like 10 minutes

[tawny glacier]

@bold trellis What is the sound card you have?

And did you plug everything in correctly

[latent karma]

ive been here for 20-25

[bold trellis]

Soundblaster Audigy fx

Yea

[latent karma]

???

20

[compact robin]

In a PMC raid, I’ll find a few AKs, a tetriz, a gas an and gmcount from idea, bunch of small rifles, probably good armor

[latent karma]

ive been here for 20

[compact robin]

You just need to know the loot spawns

[bold trellis]

I might try a diffrent PCI slot tomorrow

[compact robin]

And loot dead bodie

https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/interchange_full2

This should help

[latent karma]

ok

i went all the way right

I see a big sign

[tawny glacier]

@bold trellis Also did you uninstall all your previous audio drivers and reboot before plugging in and installing the drivers for the sound card?

[latent karma]

at an intersection

[compact robin]

What’s the sign say

[tawny glacier]

And then reboot again before mucking around with any settings

[latent karma]

it says Oli Ultra brutal shop

and a few others

[bold trellis]

Was I supposed to uninstall my motherboards drivers?

[latent karma]

where do i go

[tawny glacier]

Just take the road left and keep going that way, past some blue fences

Alternatively you can run up to the bigg blue fence on the edge of the map near you and follow that left

[latent karma]

do i go thru thru the blue fences

or follow the road

[tawny glacier]

Theyre just some trailer enclosures with shipping containers in them

[latent karma]

ye

i see there

i see the cars

[tawny glacier]

The extract is in the corner of the map you are approaching rn, with the mall on your left and some grassy bit to your right

So just hug the wall on your right and the exit is where the road turns to go outside the map

[latent karma]

i dont know if i found it or not

im under some highway

[bold trellis]

Under highway is North

[latent karma]

its not lettin me extract

under the highway

[bold trellis]

You need to go to where the trains were

Far back corner

[tawny glacier]

No gtb he came out of oli

[bold trellis]

ah

[tawny glacier]

Look along the road, away from the blocked highway

So that the sign is to your right

[latent karma]

yes

and i wen left

all the way down

to a highway

underneath it rn

and its not extracting me

[tawny glacier]

Ye, now follow that wall to your right all the way

[bold trellis]

http://prntscr.com/ohvrc9

Arrow is extract

[latent karma]

so leave the highway?

[bold trellis]

Hopefully that helps you

[latent karma]

yknow

[tawny glacier]

Yeah you are in the bottom left corner

[latent karma]

if i had a chancce to post a pic

i would

[tawny glacier]

The exit is in bottom right

[latent karma]

to show u what i see

its like a circle

wtih a crossheir

on the wall

and an arrow points up

does that mean anythin

oh

i think i found it

anothe highway

with red trains

i foudn it

[tawny glacier]

Oh, you went along the main highway? Yeah then you went north, and are close to north exit

And now that you found North exit, the South exit for future reference is the opposite corner of the map

[latent karma]

idk if interchange is worth it by myself

[compact robin]

It’s worth it

You just need to play it

Just like factory, it can be worth it, but only if you know the map, the hot spots, the loot, etc

But IC is safer, and more sustainable

[tawny glacier]

Fac is shit, you die a lot and theres not much loot unless you kill stuff which aggroes the entire map to you

And if theres even 1 geared person on Fac they will most likely hunt you down since its so small

[latent karma]

on the bright side

i hit 900k rubles

for the first time

[compact robin]

Congrats!

[latent karma]

time to use the Big Gear set i saved for

in a labs run

and either make another 300k

or lose it all

[compact robin]

Good luck!

[sharp badger]

New Mobo 570x Aorus elite and 3700x. Everything's plugged in correctly, CPU power, main power. Led + & - pins and power switch, CPU aio fan plugged into CPU header. System fan (back) plugged into system fan header. Tried graphics card to display video and built in CPU video still no dice. Also now. All lights and fans will turn on but after 10 seconds fans on Mobo turn off then come back on, then after that Mobo fans shut off.

Any suggestions? I wanna play tarkov so bad

Everything worked before I upgraded

[proven saffron]

What's your power supply unit?

[bronze walrus]

You got the RAM positioned correctly?

[proven saffron]

Also check your mobo's handbook, if any lamps turn on it can tell you what they're indicating.

[sharp badger]

850 modular evga

Blah blah something like that

Can try and re set the ram. I have it in the optimal position

[bronze walrus]

Usually new motherboards need them in a 1 3 or 2 4 configuration.

If you have 4 pieces, try only 2 at a time.

[sharp badger]

2 atm I'll switch them for memes and verify

[bronze walrus]

I've recently gone through a month-long hassle with a defective motherboard. Somehow my CPU pins kept getting magically bent when I sent it in for repair.

[sharp badger]

Ram

Had to re-seat it

What the hell lol

So protip everyone, same thing with Dell 780's I fix at work. Ram in then out first 😂

[bronze walrus]

Damn I'm good.

[proven saffron]

Was it not inserted completely? Or wasn't your RAM seated correctly?

[sharp badger]

It wanted seated in the correct spot for the 3rd time 😂

[proven saffron]

Probably not plugged in completely I swear these DAMN RAM modules

[sharp badger]

All the way snapped in twice I do this stuff to dell PC's at my job atleast 3 times a week

[proven saffron]

You think you're bending your mobo enough already but they just dont stick in shut even when you press them hard

[sharp badger]

Mmmm that's the tricky part ive been trying to think about when I do quick fixes for computers. You'd think that there's some reason why, when the levers on the side fully fully snap in, there should be plenty of contact on the sides for the Mobo to register it. But I made sure it didn't half snap in both times

Tbh. Not sure the reason.

[bronze walrus]

Sounds like someone didn't get premium gamergirl RAM 😏

[sharp badger]

Wee woo

Scuffed gaming chair tbh

[bronze walrus]

Good luck playing games when your RAM don't have RGB lighting 😏

[sharp badger]

Got an rbg power supply so I knew that wasn't the issue

Nothing. I'd say common sense is at play here.

"Hey all you total strangers, let me make you an offer that sounds too good to be true!"

[untold sentinel]

well u wanna be the one to find out?

[bronze walrus]

I'll be alright.

Also being kind of weirdly desperate to hook someone doesn't help either.

@tawny glacier I tried D&D and really wanted to like it, but couldn't get into it after multiple tries. Do you have any other suggestions for interesting board games?

[tawny glacier]

I'll be totally honest I haven't played much board games other than roleplaying stuff

[silk trail]

Ah

[tawny glacier]

Talisman is really good though, IMO

It's a fantasy adventure game but uses a board and cards and stuff like a "normal" boardgame

Being mute it's always been simpler to play digital stuff since communicating is so much easier

[silk trail]

Makes sense

[tawny glacier]

I love the concept of games like Secret Hitler and Alias but oof

[silk trail]

You ever tried Magic Maze? I played it recently with a few friends and one of the central concepts is that you're not allowed to talk.

[tawny glacier]

Oh, Googling it I can definitely say I've seen it but nope, haven't played it

I don't have any local friends since I moved, so board games are on short supply

[silk trail]

There are four characters on the board that you have to guide through a labyrinth. Each player can only move a character in one direction, and there's a time limit.

No talking allowed.

Just a game piece that you have to slap onfront of somebody to get their attention. You're not allowed to point at the board either

[tawny glacier]

Hahaha

Sounds great tbh

[silk trail]

It's pretty fun

[tawny glacier]

My gf's into board games more than me but long-distance oof

[silk trail]

.<

[odd saddle]

Cards against humanity

[silk trail]

Well hopefully you guys can be closer soon

[tawny glacier]

We get to meet once every blue moon, whenever there's a good sale on flight tickets

Also out of interest, what made you have interest in D&D and do you have any idea why it didn't stick?

Asking mostly since I find a lot depends on the playgroup, DM and there's actually plenty of systems other than D&D that fulfill other types of gameplay better

[silk trail]

It sounds like something that I would like and a lot of people I know play it. The game just moves so incredibly slowly it takes forever to get around to having a turn or having much happen. At least that's how it was when I tried.

Like, with 4 players and a DM it took like 15 minutes for it to get back to me each time

[tawny glacier]

Ah. Yeah, pacing can vary a lot

I'm used to the slower pacing since I run my games text-only which naturally progress slower as people type slower than they speak most of the time

But some D&D games go pretty quick, usually it depends on the players

Like my gf likes to take ages to play out her turns because she always runs into the crisis of "I dont know whats good here" and overthinks for a solid 5 minutes before deciding to slap something with a basic attack or something

[silk trail]

lol

[tawny glacier]

Took her a few months of consistent play for me to coach that habit out of her

And in the current campaign I'm hosting we have 6 players, and one of the group members had a really hard time joining the out of combat RP stuff

[grizzled cosmos]

The combination of the DnD version and Group are what make it good. 8V

[tawny glacier]

I threw him into a few spotlight situations to show him that interaction can be fun, and occasionally ask him what he's doing to keep him along in the more RP heavy less fighty sections of the game

But yeah it's a combination of things. Some parties also have more emphasis on the fiction or story, and others on the mechanics and combat

[silk trail]

Maybe I just have to try with a different group or DM

[tawny glacier]

D&D is actually a really crap role playing game, since it borrows so heavily from war games

But it's a good middleground that most people can find something in that they enjoy

Meanwhile there's much more narrative oriented systems that have broader moves and focus on the rule of cool over meticulous calculations, like the FATE systems

And then there's the full rule autism Pathfinder for example

And Burning Wheel is a game that's a medieval low fantasy setting but puts emphasis on characters and social interactions over video game style flow of events, while maintaining astonishing complexity

Etc, etc

[silk trail]

huh

[tawny glacier]

D&D has a fair amount of history as a very computer-like dungeon crawler with all emphasis on combat and statistics, so while I feel 5e is in a pretty good spot, it's clearly not something truly built for the purpose which a lot of the modern style of players run it as

And ironically for being the one most people know and is the first people try to get into, D&D (even 5e) is actually really illogical with some stuff and requires a lot of knowing one-off knowledge about the rules

[silk trail]

I've heard that

[tawny glacier]

I like introducing people to ttRPGs through a game called Dungeon World, it's basically a similar premise to D&D but written by someone who actually understands how to efficiently teach people through the actual gameplay loop and simplified to a point there is more room for narrative but not so abstract as to feel like just a story as opposed to a game

[compact robin]

@tawny glacier Which kind of player are you:
Shows up with a 23-page backstory, a full-body, full-color printout fan-art of their character, and a character with the worst equipment, but it’s OK because it’s for the plot.
No backstory, no plot, just a computer, the meta, and a whole lot of “Acktshually” for the DM.
Shows up with a talking magical frog because the DM gave in and said “fuck it, do what you want.”
Or the person that ends up as a magical frog because it’s the fourth time the DM has decided to kill their character off.

[tawny glacier]

Looool

[compact robin]

Because that’s the kind of people I play with

[tawny glacier]

Sadly I don't even remember the last time I was a player character in D&D

But that's okay since I enjoy hosting

[compact robin]

Hosting seems like a lot of fun, but the DM needs to either be very good at preparing

Or be witty as hell and think on the fly

[bronze walrus]

I haven't played a lot of DnD but my very first run was stellar.

[tawny glacier]

I'm definitely more of the latter. In the current campaign that's been running almost a year now we've had probably more twists than Game of Thrones, but I've spent probably <10 hours on prep total

I just do everything on the fly except battle maps

And even those I do on the fly if it's small enough I can draw it on the tabletop

Oof I cant direct up images in this channel

[bronze walrus]

We were a group of kinda'-sorta'-buzzed friends, we encounter a closed door. A closed door. Buddy wants to kick it down 'cause why not. Rolls a 1 and breaks his foot. Then someone casually walks up and opens the door in front of him.

[tawny glacier]

https://imgur.com/a/XHyKppz

Those maps are prolly the most work I put into the game outside of game hours

[silk trail]

Deciding between grabbing a mug of hot chocolate or getting cereal... help me decide

[bronze walrus]

Cereal will sustain you more.

[tawny glacier]

And just for comparison's sake, this was that same map drawn on the fly a day earlier during breakfast https://i.imgur.com/L5ELzh9.png

And as for battle maps they're just simple scale references so people know where to move and shit like this

https://i.imgur.com/Guimk3z.jpg

I shit those out on Dungeon Painter Studio before the session if I know where the players are gonna end up

And ngl I admit sometimes when the players are talking amongst themselves I sometimes make those too during the session

Also losing to inanimate objects is always hilarious

Our party's cleric hit his dick on some hardwood floorboards because he ran down a spiral staircase in the dark and didnt see a missing step

[silk trail]

LOL

[tawny glacier]

The most ironic part: Everyone else in the party is playing a character with at least 60ft. darkvision

And yeah I run the game with the idea of whatever happens, happens, no point planning ahead since I can always come up with a logical next step, and planning too much I would end up railroading the players or just not using stuff because the players decide to do something totally different instead

Most places and stuff don't really have anything planned until a player asks about it

[silk trail]

My friends had a campaign where they had a cannibal chef. He was locked in the brig of a vessel with another prisoner. The Cannibal murdered the other prisoner, chewed his fingers down to the bone, and used the splintered finger bones as makeshift lockpicks. Their telling of the story was hilarious

@bronze walrus Good night! 💤

[bronze walrus]

Much love, friends ❤

[tawny glacier]

Lol, that sounds like something that might've been in Divinity OS2

My players so far haven't been insanely creative with situations yet, but I can sense them slowly getting there, as they get more used to the systems and abstracting the rules

And I like throwing them weird niche magical items to wrap their brain around

[silk trail]

@agile hollow Just wanted to let you know I tried that toast w/cinnamon, sugar, and butter. It was delicious.

[tawny glacier]

Cinnamon toast is great

An example of an item they got quite early on from a gnoll cultist was a bead necklace that makes the wearer unable to breathe, but also not needing to breathe

[silk trail]

Neat

[tawny glacier]

However as a side effect they are unable to make any sound with their vocal cords, and as such, are silenced. And the effect takes 1d100 minutes to wear off after removing the necklace so it can't be abused in combat

[silk trail]

I'm excited to hear how they used this

[tawny glacier]

So far they've used it to:
Have one person walk to the bottom of a lake to fetch something from a wrecked ship
Sneak up on a hostile sorcerer and slipping the beads on before subduing them, meaning they can neither yell for help nor cast most spells
Shut the party's cleric up because he was madcuzbad
And put the necklace on a party member who accidentally drank a truth serum so they couldn't spill important information

[silk trail]

Good uses!

[tawny glacier]

Ye

[silk trail]

It would be useful for silencing a watchman or something as well if the party can't sneakily 1 hit them before they raise the alarm

[tawny glacier]

Oh! And the rogue failed to lockpick a strongbox and poison gas spilled out, so they put the beads on and rushed the box outside to douse it in water

[silk trail]

Smart thinking

[tawny glacier]

Ye, my gf (playing the rogue) is good at the kind of creative thinking but is awful with combat 😅

Meanwhile the party's sorcerer's approach to anything is: Can we set it on fire?

[compact robin]

Excuse me?

I had a human-Dragonborn sorcerer

[silk trail]

Well, or course you can set it on fire!

[compact robin]

And my go to was diplomacy

[silk trail]

That solves everything

[tawny glacier]

My answer is always; Of course you can. The question is, whether you should.

[silk trail]

Explosive combustion occurs

[tawny glacier]

Helps that I have a homebrew rule about material interaction

So for example the wizard spell "grease" can be hit by a firebolt from the sorcerer and it'll create a burning pitch that cuts the spell's duration in half but anything inside the fire takes 1d6 per turn

[silk trail]

To spice things up at one point you should have a magnesium fire that the players need to/should put out. Water only makes those fires bigger.

I like that rule

[compact robin]

Have them all receive brand new canteens as a reward, just beforehand.

[tawny glacier]

I have a few homebrew rules that spice up things, and a few that remove pointless stuff from the game

Like I dont really apply the "traveling" rules because they're just boring slog, and I don't use alignments for anything but optional flavor

[compact robin]

Also, is nobody going to point out the fact that Korgi just perfectly described DM-Player interactions in TTRPGS?

[tawny glacier]

Guys, want to have a crack at the riddle I threw the players three weeks ago as part of some viking trials?

It's very simple

[compact robin]

Bring it

[silk trail]

o.o

It's very simple

[tawny glacier]

The runes set in front of you have the numbers 9, 8, 4, 1 and 10 etched on them. Rillim looks up to Aleks, then speaks: "I didn't order these often. Would you?"

[compact robin]

Do we need any other information, my go to is color

[tawny glacier]

Nope, everything necessary is contained within the riddle as given

And the default assumption is everything's localized into English, just in case it has to do with words or idioms etc.

[silk trail]

English is great for idioms

[compact robin]

I can ring up Amazon and order a few

[silk trail]

Yeah, I really don't even know where to start on the riddle

[tawny glacier]

It took the players about half an hour to crack it between the 6 of them

Want the solution?

[compact robin]

As a rogue, I order them
10
1 9
8

[tawny glacier]

Nine, Eight, Four, One & Ten are the numbers presented.

The solution is: 1, 4, 10, 8, 9

One, Four, Ten, Eight, Nine

[compact robin]

Aw

I didn’t want the answer yet

I was just picking apart the phrase

[tawny glacier]

:P Sorry, I forget how Discord spoiler tags function

[compact robin]

@tawny glacier have you ever introduced

The obelisk?

[tawny glacier]

What's that?

[compact robin]

The innocent onebelisk that has nothing to do with the plot that magically stands upright unsupported

But if any of your players gets too curious, and tries to tip it over

Curiosity kills the cat with a boss fight

[tawny glacier]

Lol Im watching the YT vid on it rn

[compact robin]

Uh huh

A friend of mine tried to pull it on us, I just sat back and watched as the werewolf gave it his all

[tawny glacier]

Sounds like a great troll, but not like anything I'd use in my games lol

I try to have a point to most things, and the point is never to just confuse and frustrate the players

Then again it was part of a Edgy Instakill Dungeon (tm) adventure so makes sense it'd be there 😂

[silk trail]

Sounds like a fun dungeon

[compact robin]

Sounds like a good DM, how many people are normally in your campaigns?

[tawny glacier]

Depends, right now the one I've been running for a long time has 6

My personal ideal number is prolly 4

[compact robin]

Our DM was trying to do 8 or 9

So it was kind of a mess

The combat...

[tawny glacier]

Yeah I had people lining up to join the campaign but had to politely explain that they'll have the first reserve slots in case someone drops out or once I start up my next run

I told them that in person if I had a voice I could probably run a 7-8 person game, but especially in text where things take a bit longer and it's easier to talk over one another (since in text you don't hear when someone starts typing like when someone opens their mouth in person) and shit just takes long and gets weird

[compact robin]

You do it over inter webs?

[silk trail]

Can you just have battles with two opposing groups of players or is it not balanced properly enough for that?

[tawny glacier]

I actually implemented a system for text only games, where if a player wants to "open their mouth" they just send an exclamation mark. That's it, nothing else necessary, just an exclamation mark. Then they can edit their message into the post without getting talked over

[compact robin]

@silk trail It depends

[tawny glacier]

I play online yes. I've ran games over text only, and games where I communicate via text and players are in a voice call with me

[compact robin]

Our campaign started like that, and the computer fucker just cheesed the hell out of 5E until everyone was buzzkilled

[tawny glacier]

And PvP in D&D is pretty wild

It really isn't balanced or fair

[compact robin]

It’s fun, but only if you don’t have meta nerds

For the average joe, it’s fun

[tawny glacier]

I have the foot rule of = PvP only happens if both parties wants it. If you do stupid team-harming fuckery, you get a strike. Three strikes, the cosmic elder god eats your brain in your sleep and you roll a new character that isn't a dipshit

Although if the group wanted a backstabby campaign I could totally run one designed with it in mind. But that's generally not the case

[compact robin]

Well, it’s late. I’m headed to rest. Good luck with your campaign Korgi. Sounds like a good setup. @silk trail, my only advice is that do not initiate pvp with a mega-nerd, they’ll whoop your ass before you can pull a sword

[tawny glacier]

Thanks lol, have a good one

[silk trail]

Good night!

[compact robin]

[tawny glacier]

[silk trail]

Your party enters a cave with a mysterious gas wafting through the air. A wooden barricade blocks your path just meters from the cave opening.
Pyromancer: Can I burn it?
You:...of course!
Entire cave violently explodes

[tawny glacier]

Basically the foot rule I use for my campaigns unless specified otherwise is uhh something along the lines of

[silk trail]

No super instea death for mistakes?

[tawny glacier]

Shit is dangerous. Don't assume you have plot armor. However, I (the DM) am not playing against you (the players), I am running an adventure you are on. It's not fun for you nor me when you die. Please travel with caution and keep your wits about you, but I am not out to kill you with cheap trickery.

[silk trail]

Good foot rule to have.

[tawny glacier]

Like the players pushed into a gnoll fortress relatively early on in the campaign against their better knowledge, what ended up happening was they stormed the keep to run into an entire warband, and they were subdued and thrown into the meat pit

[silk trail]

The meat pit

[tawny glacier]

They had a substory about escaping from the gnoll settlement and trying to find their stuff, and got most of it back but lost their gold and trinkets that were stored in the treasury they had no business trying to breach

[silk trail]

Nice job with that

[tawny glacier]

And like there's been a few boss encounters who could've potentially mangled the everliving shit out of them

But they played it smart, and I keep everything (literally everything they might feasibly run into) at a damage treshold that will not one shot overkill anyone in the party

So like the party's Wizard had 16 health, which meant the hard cap for any trap that could feasibly exist, intended for them to spring or not, would only deal up to about 30 damage, being two points short of being able to oneshot

Yes, even if it was a nitroglycerin storage chamber and you cast a fireball in the middle of it. You'd be downed and dying, but not instantly dead

Because mechanics like that are just bullshit in a game where people are attached to their characters

[silk trail]

agreed

[tawny glacier]

And I try to make most bossfights like sneaky things that are not just stat checks like some things in the monster manual

The first bossfight they had was a gnoll cultist that completed their ritual and was unable to die, as their spirit had left their body and moved into the torn-out heart at the ritual site

The cultist's moves consisted of plinking eldritch blast with the enhancement that knocks back anyone it hits, and trying to grapple and push away anyone attacking it, and the players took like 4-5 rounds to realize the way I'm describing the gnoll's reactions, there's something more to this and they went after the heart in the nearby cellar they just emerged from

[silk trail]

I love "Unable to die" enemies. So many inventive way to dispose of them.

[tawny glacier]

And another enemy with a similar design later on (since I was now aware the players could think in this kind of scenario) was when they ran into a Ghost at a level much earlier than they had any chances beating

However the ghost was hinted at as being a charred knight, fumes emanating from beneath their visor, their sword leaving an ethereal trail of sparks as they silently glided across the room

And just a couple rooms ago they had ran into a malformed burnt skeleton and they had the background info of there being some kind of otherworldly corruption taking hold of the area

So the cleric had the idea to go throw radiant damage at the corpse, cleansing it and banishing the ghost

It was a fun encounter since the cleric ate a single swing from the ghost's spectral greatsword and aged 20 years instead of taking any damage, indicating they need to fuck right on away from there

And of course at the end of the dungeon was a friendly entity that offered to undo any negative effects the run had had on the group, because to cure a ghost's aging touch you need to be like 7 levels higher than the party was

But yeah as you might be able to tell lol I really enjoy ttRPG's, particularly the creative aspects of them

[silk trail]

I can tell. I can see now why you've got queue's to get into your games!

[tawny glacier]

😂

I just happen to be on a few servers with a lot of cool nerds

[silk trail]

Have you ever played Rimworld?

It's lends itself to a nice RP environment while still maintaining a challenge

[tawny glacier]

I think I have it, I havent played it though

It looks great mechanically but the graphics put me off of it, it feels like a really complex flash game

[silk trail]

I highly recommend it! A bit of a time sink with a learning curve, but it's great.

The subreddit has a bunch of neat stores about the game (so many human skin hats...) and there's a great comic based off of the game too: https://srgrafo.com/comic

[tawny glacier]

Lol

Yeh, Ill certainly try it at some point, since it borrows a lot from Dwarf Fortress but making it more accessible

[silk trail]

That's how i've described it in the past. Dwarf Fortress but playable for the average person.

Still has great depth

[tawny glacier]

Lately I've been on a Darkest Dungeon spree, wanting to finish it before 2 comes out

And DD has a lot of great mods for it too

[silk trail]

Ahhhhh

I haven't finished a run yet

I keep drifting off to other games before I do

I've already restarted once

[agile hollow]

btw just saw that message lol

glad you liked it :P

[tawny glacier]

Probably sounds weird but I like playing DD when Im trying to wind down to sleep

[silk trail]

^.^

I can see that

I only have one problem with DD; the music gets repetitive

[tawny glacier]

Maybe I'm just secretly a necromancer but I get unbelievably relaxed when playing Diablo 1, Darkest Dungeon or doing Barrows in OSRS

And yeah sure does, but I have the music off anyway

I usually listen to some fuzzy white noise like black metal or doom

Or some acoustic guitar stuff

[silk trail]

DOOM has some pretty perfect monster slaying music

[tawny glacier]

Well I wouldnt listen to the DOOM ost before bed, I was referring to doom metal as a music genre

[silk trail]

Oh

...it's still the perfect music

[tawny glacier]

But yeah that's awesome as well, Mick Gordon is fucking amazing

Have you heard the Killer Instinct soundtrack?

Multiple styles of music, all done as absolute bangers

[silk trail]

I don't think so. I don't really listen to music but I'll hear these out

[tawny glacier]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1DX9Wjeh9k

Also by Mick who made DOOM soundtrack

[silk trail]

The first few second immediately gave me flashbacks to the Quake 3 soundtrack

[tawny glacier]

It reminds me of Unreal Tournament mixed with some modern liquid DnB

[silk trail]

Yeah

[tawny glacier]

And prolly the most iconic theme from that game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loSj5Iy1OOs

[silk trail]

Maybe next time i'm playing DD i'll fire those up, thanks!

[tawny glacier]

:D I would suggest it for maybe something more action oriented

But yeah great soundtrack

One last song from it just because it's a really good-ass hype tune and totally unlike the others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gt5KgJtwcY

It's like I'm at a rave

[silk trail]

Hah

...have you head the song "SEAGULLS! (Stop It Now)"? It's completely unlike anything you posted but it always puts a smile on my face.

This song sounds like it would go well in a cyberpunk race

[tawny glacier]

Yee

Omg this seagulls thing is this

I've seen/heard this 😂

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7CQW_-xvzc This is the song I use as the "unofficial theme" for my D&D campaign, playing it every time at the start of session when I'm having the "what happened last time" recap

Just such an atmospheric piece with a nice acoustic guitar

[silk trail]

Just finished it. Good pick.

[tawny glacier]

:D

I also use a lot of Wardruna and game soundtracks like God of War, Dragons Dogma or such

Since our campaign is, while having its comic relief moments, mostly dark high fantasy

[vernal tusk]

the whole economy is still work in progress

and money is like everywhere

and when you are actual farming you are doing somethign really, really wrong

after a wipe, or as a new player, scav interchange is your friend, it makes easy 150-300k in 15mins

[leaden solar]

why farm if you can buy very chep pant here from me

[vernal tusk]

and 150k is a newbie friendly loadout, 600k is a high gear like loadout

i am doing 8-12 months passive money by just using the fleamarket and play as pmc

even if i hate it, as a hatchling on shoreline you are making easy money as fuck with a little invest in the right keys

thats a good tl;dr guide for money making as newbie: https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/bnnll6/some_tips_for_players_who_struggle_to_get_money/

and, i mean, investing money in a game which does get wiped all 3 months is very dumb too

[vocal folio]

They’ll get banned anyways

[vernal tusk]

in adition to that, you wont be a better player because oif better gear

[vocal folio]

Lul

[compact thunder]

I heard this game was pretty bad

[vocal folio]

Uh no

No a bad game would be no mans sky

Day z stand alone

[smoky grotto]

didn't dayz finally get a workshop?

[crisp sleet]

[rotund oyster]

@near moon quad alpha

[smoky grotto]

hey, so I have heard about this game and saw it on twitch a few times. Does anyone know a good explanation video? or maybe tell me if you would like to?

(i'm thinking about buying it)

[quaint stag]

I love it

I hate it

I love it

I hate it.

I love it.

etc

If you like realistic games, go for it. Playable solo, but also nice with friends

Now's not the best time, since the learning curve is steepened by the fact that many more players are running higher grade gear

[smoky grotto]

but could you tell me what the purpose is? is it winning or just getting 'the best loot'

[quaint stag]

A little bit of both

There are quests in the game to give a sense of purpose

Otherwise it's killing people to level up and unlock better gear to keep killing.

[smoky grotto]

So it's FFA + quests?

[quaint stag]

Doesn't have to be FFA, there are some rare occurrences of strangers teaming up

Although it tends to be a low gear person being spared by a high geared person.

[smoky grotto]

why would you spare a 'low geared' person?

[quaint stag]

Pity/empathy

If they have low gear, they might not have the money to buy better gear.

It is possible to be poor in the game.

Other times, the player is simply kind

[smoky grotto]

alright

[quaint stag]

Any other questions? Ask away

[smoky grotto]

I played csgo for the last 5 years and I just feel like I wanna play something else and the thing that holds be back right now; on stream it looks a bit boring sometimes. It doesn't look like there is a lot of action you know? might be me idk

[digital gulch]

When's wipe boys

[quaint stag]

There's only so many players that can be in a map, so there can only be so much action.

There are waves of AI Scavengers as well as player-controlled scavengers that spawn in waves

[smoky grotto]

how is the AI?

[quaint stag]

They all have internal skill modifiers that affect how skilled they are in combat plus the gear they have

But they can be a bit wonky at times. They're known for targeting your legs, which will cause you to limp, or your head, which will kill you if you don't have a helmet w/faceshield on

It's being worked on

[compact robin]

Thank god

*Nikita and his employees

[quaint stag]

There are also Raider scavs, which spawn exclusively on the map called Labs. They are intentionally skilled and always have military-grade gear.

There are also scav bosses, who are kind of an in between of normal scavs and Raiders.

[smoky grotto]

hmm okay, it hears quite difficult xd

[quaint stag]

The normal scavs are just civilians trying to survive, the Boss scavs and their guards are ex military/police, and the raiders are scavengers who appear to have "extra tactical training"

Yes, well, the game is not supposed to be easy.

On one of the first screens, it is stated you will die a lot.

Which is true. Death is a large part of the game.

[smoky grotto]

and if you die, you lose all your loot?

thats how you get "poor"?

[quaint stag]

Sorry, was busy

But yes, if you die, you lose all the loot on you. There is a system in place where you can insure items with traders. If you die but the items were not taken out of the raid, then you get your items back

You also get a small secure container that allows you to keep items, even after death

Upgrading your game version to a certain version gives a better container, and there are also two containers you can get in game via quests.

[wintry tendon]

why don't i have permission to talk in irl weapons?

[royal current]

@somber tulip is my favourite ginger.

[somber tulip]

ew shut up

[grizzled cosmos]

and a third container you can purchase with trader levels.

also the game goes from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in terms of action in a single raid.

and it's basically RNG if you find a player, unless you're specifically hunting for them.

[somber tulip]

anyone trade red keycard got a good container? not alpha

[somber tulip]

nah that vaeriah guy hes a muff muncher

[royal current]

[pulsar crypt]

@royal current hoe speel ik dit spel zodat ik ook in de verte kan kijken

Dit spel laad niet goed in

[royal current]

English in general chats please.

[pulsar crypt]

You understand

[oblique frigate]

heard next wipe in next month is this true?

[grizzled cosmos]

Nope.

We've got no set date at the moment.

Any time you hear someone say when the wipe is, come on here and type !Wipe

That's the most accurate answer there is.

[oblique frigate]

!wipe

[grizzled cosmos]

Well, in #eft-chat

Sorry.

[quaint stag]

I also try to have the colour of my rig match my armor, so I tend to be using the AVS. A mk3 if I feel like it, but typically ^^ AVS or blackrock
