[white folio]

bro how tf were you supposed to know to cut it off at 32 characters

without some kind of outside intervention

[somber flare]

i got the latin

[viscid vale]

yeah into full latin? was that the full translation or only half? cause I assumed that was only half the translation

[pale shuttle]

AES 256byte decryption keys are 32 characters

[white folio]

there's also 128 bytes and 196 bytes

[somber flare]

I had the start from Jindog and how to do it and I finished it

[pale shuttle]

I'm not the one that made that question, but the lorem ipsum filler was intended to point people in the right direction. Just about everyone over thought it because they didn't know what lorem ipsum was

[somber flare]

i thought the puzzles were meant t be solved by anyone

[viscid vale]

how ya mans not gonna know lorem ipsum, I thought that was like standard year 7 education lmao

[white folio]

also even if 256 byte AES has 32 character keys how the fuck are you supposed to figure out the key is just cutting off the name

[somber flare]

like i didnt even know what any of this decryption stuff even meant until I met the right people who could help me and knew their stuff

[viscid vale]

yeah but it's not made for everyone to solve? otherwise it would be easy and not hard?

[pale shuttle]

trial and error, the hards were made in the style of ARGs

also what SG had just said

as I said earlier, different categories for different levels of interest/skill

[viscid vale]

anyway i enjoyed it and i hope there's more

[white folio]

but mayo even admitted he didn't test it on someone who hadn't done the question yet

[pale shuttle]

As I said, we learned valuable information

[white folio]

well that's good because hopefully next time it's actually solvable using only the puzzle

[somber flare]

ok

I congratulate the ones who finished the puzzle

👍

[copper grotto]

in my opinion the next arg should be something that the community needs to solve together

[white folio]

for something I wasted hours on it was a very underwhelming way to solve it

[somber flare]

^^

[copper grotto]

^^

[pale shuttle]

Well, there are very limited resources on hand for us

[storm pike]

the puzzle was hard but solvable, they should have just made the answer make sense

[pale shuttle]

[charred narwhal]

ayo when that event comin tho fr

[storm pike]

i dont feel cheated but dumb because i was looking for something that makes sense and the answer was just with an o at the end

[pale shuttle]

I should see if BSG can give us some web pages to work with

[copper grotto]

yeah same

[copper grotto]

++++

[storm pike]

maybe like an "egg hunt" type thing?

[white folio]

bro there was nothing to say the key was a cut off version of the key's name, for all we know it could've just been a shortened version of the key's name not just a straight up cut off

[viscid vale]

a cool idea would be to link going in game to find answers as well as out of game answers

[pale shuttle]

that string wasn't the answer, 'the key to the closed premises o' was just the key

[storm pike]

yeah i know

[pale shuttle]

was the answer every shown off?

Oh, ok

[storm pike]

yeah, it was part of a dialogue i think

[viscid vale]

I went to bunkhouse expecting a clue / hint but unfortunately found nothing

[copper grotto]

i literally tried different capitalization of "closed premises of Health Resort" because that made sense

[white folio]

mayo gave us a hint in vc and told us it'd be dialogue

[storm pike]

saaamee

[viscid vale]

same

[white folio]

just not what

[storm pike]

hint in vc thats dumb

[white folio]

it's mayo

[viscid vale]

did you try the closedpremisesofthehealthresort as well 🤣

[copper grotto]

yes

[white folio]

I did ones that actually made sense, like that

[storm pike]

i tried everything that made sense

[pale shuttle]

Maybe I'll force people to compile machine code for the next one

[viscid vale]

oh no

[storm pike]

BSG should make a website with like a bunch of hidden codes in it

and you gotta click through stuff and solve

[viscid vale]

I think the next one should be able to be completely solved in game

[storm pike]

10x better than messaging a mod tbh

[copper grotto]

thats exactly what lockebreacher is

[white folio]

getting people to make one with answer verification using a bot would be cool

[viscid vale]

as in you find the information in game

[white folio]

like a different server which unlocks channels once you solve a question

[viscid vale]

and connect it out of game i.e. find the codes on the back of a van somewhere in game and it connects to another code you found somewhere else if you get what I mean

[storm pike]

people in work/vacation would feel cheated

[viscid vale]

can't really appeal to everyone

[storm pike]

since they can't play the game at the moment

[viscid vale]

i get what you mean tho

[somber flare]

I had practice this morning otherwise I would have kept trying

[white folio]

someone is going to miss out regardless of the puzzle you do man

[copper grotto]

literally a payday arg

[viscid vale]

yep

and the payday arg's work well imo

[copper grotto]

yeah theyre great

[viscid vale]

just because it's been done before doesn't mean it's bad, esp if you put your own spin on it which I think with how tarkov is designed it could be done really well

[copper grotto]

i loved doing both ARG's even though i was mainly an observer

[crisp ether]

di you spell it backwards? phonetically? in morse? in symmetric or public key? in hash functions? classic cipher? greek cipher? tabula recta sphere? wheel cyphered?

[white folio]

I don't know if it's correct because I don't make puzzles, but I believe all the information to solve the puzzle(s) should be found in the puzzle, whether it's hidden or right in front of you

[viscid vale]

wut

[crisp ether]

Albertis Cipher disk?!

[pale shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/write-that-down-taking-notes-school-universities-university-gif-17937210

[viscid vale]

stroke?!?

[copper grotto]

cause i remember that one payday arg where you had to go around maps and find different textures with texts on them and use them as answers

[viscid vale]

are you asking how it was solved?

[copper grotto]

i wrote it down

[white folio]

tbf they could've just used a vigenere cypher and had the key be straight up the wikis name for the key

[viscid vale]

could make good use of decrypting text with pgp keys hidden around the map as well

using public bsg provided keys i guess

[crisp ether]

coiuld be fun making an enigma machine and you need to bring it in raid to cipher codes

[copper grotto]

no

[viscid vale]

no

[white folio]

they could theoretically split an encrypted shortened link and hide the parts around

[copper grotto]

please dont mention that

[viscid vale]

so many ideas god damn wish I could design it tbh

I would go all out if I could design the next one lmao

[copper grotto]

i need to solve an arg that uses enigma machine and i need to check 1500 codes manually

[viscid vale]

make everyone suffer

[white folio]

I would try but I don't think I'd do a very good job at it lmao

[copper grotto]

same

[viscid vale]

never made one but i'm sure it would be just as fun making one then solving it

[white folio]

that's true

next time testing is needed for these types of puzzles we can all agree on that at least right

[viscid vale]

yeees

[crisp ether]

yea man, youd need actual cryptanalysis to cipher it like it should be, these ones are pretty simple

[white folio]

the only reason mayo said it was easy was because he fucking made it

I asked him if it was solvable and he said yes because he solved it

[hasty juniper]

If we had way more time there wouldn't have been hints

[somber flare]

he knew what to do when to do it and how

[hasty juniper]

And they also would have been 1000% harder

[white folio]

I mean

[solar nymph]

not cool

[somber flare]

if you give a puzzle

[viscid vale]

most ciphers are solved with ai and lots of fucking processing power anyway aren't they? it's ARG's that are really the only types that rely on different languages, texts and messages i.e. cicada 3301?

[somber flare]

and make it last like a month long

[white folio]

hints are a given, they need to be there just in case nobody can solve it within a given time

[solar nymph]

and we thought that the beer bottle one was hard

[somber flare]

that would be cool

[copper grotto]

i actually had the answer for the first arg like 1 minute later cause first thing i did was i checked the exif data

[viscid vale]

I think hints should be fine as long as they are discovered

[copper grotto]

but didnt realize that there was the answer in it so i just dropped it

[hasty juniper]

It would take us so long to do it and especially when people dont actually like to solve things

[somber flare]

Oh i know at least 10 people that would lmao

[hasty juniper]

But would rather have their hands held or just auto solve it on google

[white folio]

dude I did a discord arg thing and the creator had to remake one stage of the puzzle because a guy brute forced his way through the website and got the code almost instantly because he was a coder lmao

[hardy minnow]

wdym?!?? how are people supposed to know its AES 256 bit encrypted?!?!?

[hasty juniper]

Oh some people would love it I know

[hardy minnow]

in response to the handholding part

[copper grotto]

someone also did a bruteforce in a payday arg

[short basin]

just copy cicada 3301

[viscid vale]

lmao

[white folio]

the cutting the key part should've been added into the puzzle itself

[hasty juniper]

People were already past the AES 256 bit before I even mentioned it btw

[white folio]

oh I knew it was AES before you said it but the key was dumb

[hasty juniper]

They knew it was that but didnt have the secret key

[viscid vale]

y u no answer me :(

[copper grotto]

yeah the key was the main thing that thrown people off

[hasty juniper]

I think next time, we might split it in two

[viscid vale]

i asked in dms

[hasty juniper]

One gets the key

one gets the chain

[white folio]

the secret key though, even in the walkthrough of it it doesn't explain how you're supposed to know about cutting it off at 32

[hasty juniper]

256 is always 32

[white folio]

but where does it give you 256

[hasty juniper]

You literally choose one of 3 options

[white folio]

there's 2 other AES encryptions

[viscid vale]

ye was pretty easy to figure out 256 was 32

[hasty juniper]

one is 16 long, one is 24 and the other is 32

[white folio]

yes but where's the 32 part

[viscid vale]

i had a notepad up that had 16 characters, 24 and 32 so I'd constantly paste in things I thought could be it and see if they had the same character count as the placeholders

[white folio]

I've been working on this so long my brain just wants to die

[hasty juniper]

Especially when the site tells you that 256 is 32 lol

[white folio]

no I mean't where in the puzzle does it tell you it's 256 AES

[hasty juniper]

See thats hand holding

[viscid vale]

trial and error?

[white folio]

the puzzle should have all the information, hidden or not

[hasty juniper]

No it shouldn't

[white folio]

wym lmao that's just how puzzles work

[hasty juniper]

lmao

[viscid vale]

who defines how their own puzzle works wot

[hasty juniper]

If I have morse and its translated into latin but you dont know its latin, do I have to tell you that the morse is translated into latin

[white folio]

it was just too vague

that's not my point what

[hasty juniper]

Thats exactly your point

Just simplified

[viscid vale]

the best arg's are the ones that still haven't been solved, those are also to vague then?

[white folio]

it's not?

ok that's a fair point

[hasty juniper]

It is, you wanted the puzzle to tell you exactly what to use

[white folio]

no?

I wanted a clue at what to use not just the straight up answer

[hasty juniper]

So then whats this about lol

Not all puzzles need cluse

Especially ones meant to be hard

[white folio]

he literally added a clue and said it wasn't important lmao

[hasty juniper]

Which bit

[white folio]

the image

the image that was a "red herring"

[storm pike]

fokka's puzzles >>>> yesterday's event

[hasty juniper]

The image was not a red herring lol

[white folio]

supposedly you could use a program to increase the size of the image by 100 bits and it would reveal something about the key being right in front of you

the hex and the noise or whatever was though

[hasty juniper]

it lead you to two things, the key and that it was related to a pk quest

[copper grotto]

wait did we solve cat mod's arg?

[viscid vale]

colonel what was the image about?

was it just filler?

[white folio]

the key was really the only important part

and the location OF the key

[storm pike]

location wasnt important

[viscid vale]

I guess yeah it does give us the location of the key

[hasty juniper]

People just completely overlooked it

[viscid vale]

yes it is because with out it we'd have no idea what we'd be looking for

[white folio]

well the location is because the only key that spawns there is the one you get for a quest

[storm pike]

technically, but it wasnt important to the final answer

[viscid vale]

true

[hasty juniper]

And even after I was saying it over and over, people were on overdrive

[white folio]

it was probably better to say that the puzzle wasn't thought out for the time limit

and yes, that too

[viscid vale]

this I can agree on to be honest, I was kind of hoping that this would run for at least a few days at minimum

[hasty juniper]

Honestly it was, just people missed a part of it

[copper grotto]

we missed that it was lorem ipsum

[white folio]

you know what

[copper grotto]

we didnt realize it was filler text thats where we messed up

[ancient current]

In game event pls

[white folio]

with that, a mod actually said no after someone asked about it being lorem ipsum and it confused me

misinformation was another issue

[hasty juniper]

When many people are messaging you

in chat

Its better to DM

[white folio]

i'm pretty sure the mod even replied to it though

[hasty juniper]

Because 20 people spamming is it this, is it that

doesnt help anyone

[white folio]

even if I'm wrong who cares, probably would've worked out better with 0 clues

yeah that was another problem

people were trying to get clues and/or brute force the answer by constantly asking

a bot might help next time because you could just add a channel cooldown

idk though just ideas

[hasty juniper]

Nobody would pay attention to the bot

And would attempt to bruteforce and break it

[white folio]

I mean like, add a chat cooldown and have the bot verify answers

[storm pike]

heckers just move on

[hasty juniper]

Answers were completely fine

[storm pike]

you're not gonna get anything

[white folio]

I'm giving ideas now not complaining

[hasty juniper]

They all went to my DM's which I worked through in order

So that the people who wrote first got their response first

[white folio]

well that's fair, but mods were accepting multiple answers at a time in the same message so it stayed on the list

[viscid vale]

I'm confused, when was the first correct answer sent in? was it way before the last hint or?

[white folio]

I think it was a little after

[hasty juniper]

Like 10 seconds after I said cut it

[viscid vale]

ah ok yeah

yeah that just clicked with everyone for some reason

the wording it self

[white folio]

well it made sense

[atomic violet]

Colonel just likes us sliding into DM's 😉

[hasty juniper]

I said it earlier on and nobody got it though

Nah, well over 1k dms

no thanks

[viscid vale]

yeah i know i went back it was pretty much almost exact same wording

[white folio]

yeah because it's as you said, people were freaking the fuck out over the key

[atomic violet]

haha, just messin with ya man

[viscid vale]

but I think cause you said exactly that you would cut the key if its to long

the crazy thing is though, is that I was already cutting it, but from the behind because I thought I needed health resort to be in their

[white folio]

I bet you

[hasty juniper]

I could have entirely fucked off and left you guys till the timer ran out and said oh well too late nobody wins

[white folio]

if we had more time, the hints wouldn't have been needed

[storm pike]

i wish the key was "right in front of you"

[viscid vale]

i was removing characters from behind like 2 hours before it all

[hasty juniper]

Because nobody wanted to trial and error 16 24 and 32 strands

[chrome haven]

so is the question thing still goin on?

[short basin]

no

[hasty juniper]

But instead wanted to try and make me slip up and reveal it lol

[ashen folio]

give me 1 rouble as a reward for being special

[viscid vale]

ehh I think better than not

[white folio]

everyone didn't want to solve it they instead wanted you to baby them to the answer

[short basin]

work smarter not harder

[viscid vale]

if no one got it I think people would be a lot more disappointed xd

[hasty juniper]

Well they worked harder

Just not at the right thing

[storm pike]

i was literally copying everything from the page lol

[hasty juniper]

Also

[white folio]

harder to harass colonel

[viscid vale]

who wasn't ahah

[hasty juniper]

The wiki did get edited

But not by us

So I couldn't say anything lmao

[viscid vale]

yeah i noticed that but then i realised it was last month

[hasty juniper]

I wasnt happy

[storm pike]

it didnt matter at the end though

[viscid vale]

I copied the text not from the top of the wiki but from the dialogue name of the key

[white folio]

well that also stunted progress

[viscid vale]

I assume if it wasn't edited the answer would'v been revealed a lot quicker

[hasty juniper]

Yeah but me saying that would have gave the key away instantly

[white folio]

yeah most likely

[storm pike]

nnot really

[hasty juniper]

Nobody clocked on that I was telling people to actually use The key

As the starting point of the key lmao

That was the biggest hint and nobody realised

[storm pike]

the only thing that was edited was the health resort instead of sanitarium

[white folio]

I realised you mean't The key as the start but I still was confused about what to put after

[viscid vale]

why? most people where copying the header of the page which was incorrect I think? or I forgot not sure, but I know that the dialogue had the correct keyphrase in it

[viscid vale]

yeah but that effects the word count which effects the phrase

[white folio]

the hint was that the page and the url had parts of the key in it

[storm pike]

i thought we had to find something on the page and then use that to find the actual secret key

[hasty juniper]

It was edited from "The key to......" which would have worked

[storm pike]

oh yeah

[hasty juniper]

to just "Key to....." which wouldnt have worked

[viscid vale]

god damn wiki editors

[hasty juniper]

and when im in here going

[lean trench]

what are people bitching about now?

[hasty juniper]

use
The key

[viscid vale]

no ones bitching lmao

[ashen folio]

give me your money

[lean trench]

how much you want

[ashen folio]

10

[white folio]

enough to buy eod

[viscid vale]

worth

[ashen folio]

i wish i had eod

[lean trench]

eod is a scam

[viscid vale]

convinced all my mates to buy eod soley for the increased asshole size and they don't regret it

[copper grotto]

imagine not having the name robloxgamer_ttv in tarkov

[storm pike]

im just gonna buy the second best version of tarkov

[viscid vale]

free dlc is a plus

[ashen folio]

id get beaten to death by my brother if i had

[storm pike]

eod too expensive even on sale tbh

[viscid vale]

ye but you're gonna be paying for arena mode when it comes out and I ain't

[storm pike]

shits not getting released till like 2023 prob

[white folio]

at the end of the day, the moderators overestimated the intelligence of the people here

[viscid vale]

i'd say 2022

[storm pike]

what if i dont want an arena mode

[viscid vale]

and i'd bet on it as well

then don't get eod lol

[storm pike]

"im just gonna buy the second best version of tarkov"

🤯

[lean trench]

someone said the exact same thing last night - the mods were giving too much credit to the general competency of the channel

[white folio]

tf is arena mode

[copper grotto]

is the asshole size worth it?

[white folio]

always

[viscid vale]

I don't mind shilling out fuck tons of money for a game like tarkov cause I know it ain't going to some corporate shill of of a company like EA

[lean trench]

@copper grotto just upgrade your butthole in game

[white folio]

I'd rather give money to bsg than ea

[viscid vale]

story is the same for me with most corporate game dev companies now

[white folio]

I mean did you see that raid movie hot damn

[viscid vale]

BSG > pretty much all of them really

[storm pike]

swat mode would be cool, they already have breach and flash on doors and shit like that

[viscid vale]

yeah ain't no one competing with that

[white folio]

I mean BSG fucks around a lot but tbf some other AAA game devs are much worse

[viscid vale]

imagine how much better this game would be if bsg had the budget of a regular tripple a game

sheesh

[white folio]

[copper grotto]

hold up where can i upgrade my hole?

[white folio]

website

[viscid vale]

I can for you if you want

might hurt

[white folio]

it'll only hurt your wallet

[viscid vale]

lmao

bought eod like 2 years ago no regrets since

and im fucking tight with spending money on games

[white folio]

I would but I'm dirt poor, and that too

[copper grotto]

75 dollas

[viscid vale]

i work min wage 4head

[copper grotto]

they better fuck and suck me for 75 dollaz

[white folio]

$70+ for tarkov standard is already too much lmao

[viscid vale]

yeah but my stash is already full on an eod stash

[white folio]

mine is full

[viscid vale]

the game is a lot easier when you're not having to constantly play tetris after every raid it turns out

or you dont have to fork out 50 mil just to have the same stash as someone who has EOD would have every wipe

[white folio]

"imagine having to decide what to bring in your pouch"

[viscid vale]

wut

[ancient halo]

I should have designed in a bit more. 😩
I could have written a 256 on the UN peacekeeper.

[white folio]

I'm saying pouch smal no spac

[copper grotto]

Mayo i can help you

[white folio]

actually that would've been cool, replace the UN with 256

[viscid vale]

mayo lemme do the next one cheers

or at least help lol

[copper grotto]

next time have a binary code where you will flip the 1's and 0's

so a 110011 would be 001100

[white folio]

that's evil

[copper grotto]

no its funny

[ancient halo]

Main text was a lorem ipsum with 1180xN, I don’t think anyone revealed the hidden pixels?

[viscid vale]

nah let's just fucking invent a new cryptography language at this point

[viscid vale]

nope no one did iirc

[copper grotto]

agreed

[white folio]

I got why at the end why you wanted me to use that program from 2014

[viscid vale]

you know what

this isnt even the event that got me fucked up the most

the date and time one is

who pulled that date and time out of their ass and where was it from?

[white folio]

didn't do whatever that one was

[viscid vale]

they said what day, time and year is it in tarkov

and on the hideouts their are calenders saying 2016 and 2014

and everywhere online seems to be around their but apparently it's aug 1 2018?

[white folio]

yeah ok that's fucked what

[viscid vale]

literally looked all on google to search that date and there's nothing about it

so idk who the fuck pulled that out of their ass but I didn't appreciate it

[white folio]

hang on while I pull out my 1000 page book on Tarkov lore

[copper grotto]

solvable by new players

[viscid vale]

lmao

[copper grotto]

they really did some trolling

[white folio]

that's why they made one which required level 3 nutrition unit

[viscid vale]

just a bit

[white folio]

a smidge

[viscid vale]

tad

[white folio]

a teensy bit if you will

[raven plover]

2 if I remember correctly, one fridge and the other one you had to count the food there

[white folio]

it was level 3

you needed level 3 to count all of the food items on the physical hideout nutrition unit

[viscid vale]

who tf upgrades their nutrition unit?

[white folio]

whoever asked the question

[raven plover]

Ye, and also you need level 3 for the fridge question

[lean trench]

I think the only thing notworth doing is btc level 3

[viscid vale]

yeah

im on 25/25 gpu's and don't see a need for lvl 3

[lean trench]

even though they modified the the physical stats levelling, the air system is still solid

[white folio]

do it anyway

[viscid vale]

last wipe I maxed out everything w 50 gpus and a full hideout and I never saw the return of profits

[white folio]

for the flex

[viscid vale]

25 is good enough rly

[white folio]

for the flex

[copper grotto]

imagine having bitchcoin

[lean trench]

the problem with 50 GPUs, is that you have to be certain to login daily to pull coins out

[copper grotto]

and imagine making bitchcoins

[viscid vale]

the real flex is getting killas track suit w updated killa spawns

[ancient halo]

And the hidden pixel hint should have been more explicit.
“The encryption key is shown before you” or some shit

[lean trench]

at 25 - I can miss a day and I'm fine

[viscid vale]

I have not found that mf once this wipe

[lean trench]

later all - off to the fam

[white folio]

colonel thinks that's "spoon feeding"

[viscid vale]

cya

[ancient halo]

Can you link me the Reddit thread you tried?

[white folio]

reddit?

oh wait

[ancient halo]

Interesting. I’ll be putting some more together soon with a banging prize.

Better designed too

[white folio]

can it be a donut pls I'm hungry

[viscid vale]

@ancient halo literally all I ask for is more time

make it as hard as you want, make it fucking impossible just give us longer than a week?

[white folio]

I'd love to help out with it, plus at the same time it'll give me experience to make my own puzzles

[viscid vale]

^ as well as this yeah i'm down to help since I like making this sort of shit and I know how to create media

[white folio]

I don't know much about making puzzles or anything, but I love them so learning how to make one would be fun

even if we don't help you should make an explanation of how you make the puzzles

[ancient halo]

Of course! I’m expecting to donate a full weapons case to the winner (s?)so it’ll take awhile to solve

[viscid vale]

I think the general format goes something like:

1. brainstorm ideas as to what you want people to actually solve
2. make the actual outcome possible somehow
3. create media that allows you to get to the outcome
4. profit

i'm just guessing but surely it goes something like that?

[white folio]

testing would be the final phase before release

[viscid vale]

nah don't test, they are your test subjects lmao

[white folio]

well I feel like this time was the test lmao

[viscid vale]

ahaha

[trail zealot]

somebody go buy my thicc case please

Im broke!

[chrome haven]

[lament umbra]

[woven frost]

Is there even any point to scaving in? Every time u find loot anothet scav shoots u for it anyways... fucking stupid

what are the hidden codes on the servers they say here in announcements? they written on walls ect around the map or somthing like that?

[pallid ridge]

the events over pretty sure you can’t get hidden ones anymore

[kindred dock]

thought it might of been i played customs a dozen times last night didnt see anything and cant find anything on google about it or what to look for

[pale shuttle]

Yea, the event is over

and the codes were hidden on the Discord

[kindred dock]

oh well i wasnt even looking in the right place then

[raven meadow]

how about a buff to the vss/val. fun guns but not good compared to lots of other stuff

[pale shuttle]

It still excels in close range with the proper ammo though, it's also laser accurate because it's basically firing a pistol round

[stone geode]

Damn i guess everyone was on double time tryin to solve the puzzle

[spring eagle]

The real code was the friends we made along the way

[stone geode]

Context? i don’t understand

[spring eagle]

The real code was the friends we made along the way

[pale shuttle]

See, you're not wrong

I'm seeing a lot of people I didn't usually see talking more now, it's nice

[spring eagle]

I don’t even know what the answer was. Toast originally said it would be realeased at the time the event ended and when that was thrown out the window I went to sleep. I was up for 8 hours looking at the thing with a bunch of other people. We were just all stupid people and I ended up laughing my ass off at m&m for an hour

[somber flare]

lol @spring eagle

then i made the m&m picture

lemme see if i can find it

[lofty falcon]

oh

[ashen folio]

how do i unaddict from tarkov

[unborn harness]

Play it for long enough that you realize how shallow the gameplay loop is.

[feral sable]

you can't escape from tarkov

[ashen folio]

if the game comes on sale do all versions come on sale also do upgrades come on sale?

[ancient current]

Yes

I got EOD last sale form standard

[feral sable]

Yeah.

If you upgrade you only pay the difference in price, though, along with the 20-25% off subtracted from that. (if on sale)

[ashen folio]

good to know

thanks

[cold parcel]

Please don't buff them they are currently the best cqc gun

[spring eagle]

Arguable if they are the best but really damn good

[lofty falcon]

the mags are heck expensive for what it can do..

[cinder granite]

Craft Idea
7.62 Mai Ap

2 Hawk GP
2 Kite gp
5 Nails
CraftCost=194k-210k
Profit=100k-130k

120 rounds

This is based on curent market priceing

[cold parcel]

whats better for cqc

[spring eagle]

Eh 25k for 30 rounders are normal for me

[spring eagle]

Ash 12

[cold parcel]

nah limited to 20 mags lower rof lower pen ash 12 more scary tho

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle Ash is just a freight train with PS12B

[spring eagle]

Rof doesn’t matter when you hit that hard and 20 round mags are good enough at its rpm

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle do u think the craft is balenced?

[spring eagle]

The craft for what

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle i meen the craft idea i posted

[cold parcel]

no we dont need better bp craftable

[cinder granite]

@cold parcel m61 is craftable

[cold parcel]

m61 has its own limitations

[spring eagle]

I don’t think that we need more ammo crafts I think we should have more ammo that comes in boxes right now it’s mostly just 545

[cold parcel]

7.62x39 has no recoil and bigger mags and cheap

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle fair

[cold parcel]

dont need to make the better ammo more cheap

[cinder granite]

@cold parcel so does 45 acp and ss190

@cold parcel ss190 and 45 is cheep af aswell

[cold parcel]

both have less pen and less armor dmg

[cinder granite]

2$ around

[cold parcel]

the thing is bp is a fucking broken round

[cinder granite]

@cold parcel 45 armor pen and 70 flesh is just fine at 1050 rounds a second

[spring eagle]

I want 300 black out and 9mm ap boxes

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle u can find pbp boxs already

@spring eagle and if u want 9mm ap farm cultists they have mp5s and aks

[spring eagle]

Can you? Never seen them

[spring eagle]

Dude I went cultist hunting for 2 hours and found them once and died

[lofty falcon]

Idk what youve been drinking, but its 40k

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle lol

[spring eagle]

Barters exist use the

The ash 12 is 30k with barters

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle le juice cannon

[lofty falcon]

True, but its still 40k, 1 Pliers 9,5k.

9,5k * 4

[spring eagle]

When I was on last night it was 5k

[lofty falcon]

Right now, and the days i checked it was 9,5k. But when it is 5k it is worth it i guess Update they dropped to 9k just now

[spring eagle]

It heavily fluctuates

[subtle geyser]

How do i know when pier boat is active on shoreline?

[cinder granite]

@spring eagle are devs doin things about the curent audio bug?

[spring eagle]

Like I fucking know. One thing I will say if you have played this game for a while you would know it’s way better then it used to be

[pale shuttle]

BSG is aware of the problem

also you don't really need to keep @ ing them

[cinder granite]

I was anly asking somone that i was talking to before srry

[spring eagle]

I’m fine with people @untold valley me I have nothing better to do

[burnt rain]

what suppressors can i put on shotguns

[spring eagle]

Salvo 12 is the best one

[burnt rain]

whats the best buckshot round

[pale shuttle]

Flechette

[trim jolt]

do you think there will be a sale on black friday

[distant jacinth]

;

[latent merlin]

@trim jolt hopefully not, enough cheaters as it is

[spring eagle]

I rarely find cheaters on any map

[pale shuttle]

I mean, cheaters get cheap keys from regional pricing skimming and stealing card info, so a sale wouldn't do anything

[burnt rain]

which shotgun has the most range

[spring eagle]

Pretty sure they are all pretty terrible at range so I just use the saiga

Most fights happen upclose or you can find cover

[trim jolt]

@latent merlin man i just dont wanna spend 45 dollars on this game

[blissful yew]

yo anybody knows any rat poison spawns other than stashes and the scav case?

[ashen folio]

Stolen accounts for like 10 usd

Hmmmm

No no no that’s immoral

[pale shuttle]

Or that, yeah

[stone moat]

is scav case shit fir

[spring eagle]

Yes

[ashen folio]

Dead chat

[covert spindle]

WHY TF DOES IT KEEP SAYING OFFER SOLD WHEN I TRY AND BARTER A BITCOIN

[gaunt quail]

you cant barterbitcoins

they get instantly sold out by bots

[gaunt quail]

if you really want to try and snipe it do it with flea

[covert spindle]

I’ve been able to for like the past week though

[gaunt quail]

thats strange man idk then

[covert spindle]

It usually has a 5 minute gap because of the rework a bit ago

But instead of saying that they’re out of stock, it’s saying “offer sold”

[gaunt quail]

what i did to snipe black keycard was go on flea and find the barter a minute before reset and just spam f5 to refresh and hover over the purchase option

[gaunt quail]

oh wtf

[covert spindle]

Yeah it’s kinda weird

On another note, I got a red card but I have no idea how much I should list it for

[gaunt quail]

you could list it for 100 mil but then you would need 50 mil cash

[gaunt quail]

congrats btw whered you find it?

[covert spindle]

I found it in a cpc rig that spawned on the counter of old gas :)

[gaunt quail]

thats sick bro

[covert spindle]

Wipe is pretty soon, so I was thinking of just selling it for 20 mill- which needs 7 mil. How long would it take to sell though?

[gaunt quail]

that would sell literally instantly

[gaunt quail]

you could always run labs

[covert spindle]

That’s true too

[spring eagle]

Not for roubles. If you do thicc weapons and items maybe some gpus that would be good

[gaunt quail]

yeah true you could do it for items

you can check what people are listing it for by turning off the exclude barters and see like that

also i wish flea market barters didnt have to be found in raid its just so much more effort

[ornate prairie]

Maybe the red keycard was the friends we made along the way

[gaunt quail]

you guys are making friends?

[storm pike]

Lol

[tame spear]

Personally I'd just run it

Labs is pretty fun once you know the map

[obsidian meadow]

Who wouldve thought that killing 15 scavs with m67 nades is going to be almost imposible. Or im doing something wrong

[potent dune]

has anyone got the image question yet?

[obsidian meadow]

Was so hyped when i got the quest

[potent dune]

@hasty juniper did anyone get that image question? is it still up?

[hasty juniper]

It was solved @potent dune

[potent dune]

what did they get? and what was the answer?

[storm pike]

they got a weapon case thermal ak and 3 lab cards

[potent dune]

wow, what was the answer?

[storm pike]

it looks like we are really close to an interesting deal

[potent dune]

huh

cool

[ashen folio]

its really tough getting them

tetriz is really easy to get in reserve

it's actually annoying that I can hear key sounds from thin air, it's irritating when inside resort

[oak mason]

well it tells you for sure 110 got opened

[brave sail]

why are people getting randomly banned for no reason

my buddy just got banned for "botting" when we have been playing 5 wipes together why did he get banned

[pale shuttle]

Most bans happen for a reason, if that was the stated reason it was likely something like a auto clicker, rat scanner, stuff like that.

[brave sail]

that was him

he doesnt have anything like that on his pc

[signal turret]

r u sure

[pale shuttle]

Well we don't deal with ingame bans so I can't help you, if he's being sincere he needs to contact Battleye support

[versed sun]

whats the fastest money route?

[icy raft]

Why cant we sell epsilon to traders anymore?

[pale shuttle]

You haven't been able to fit a while

[icy raft]

Could swore I did it last wipe

was like 800k or sometihng like that

[pale shuttle]

There's also a task that requires Eps

So I'd keep it

[icy raft]

Ah.

Maybe thats why you cant sell it anymore then.

[modern marlin]

they basically just didn't end the cheap labs keycard

[modern marlin]

yeah, its worth 777,777 xp now, you turn it in at 60 and go straight to 61.5

[edgy topaz]

Servers?

[atomic violet]

Ok... which dev decided to screw with me? LOL..... 3 days ago daily kill mission was to kill Reshala.. 2 days ago turn in mission... golden TT. Yesterday was pretty normal... today's turn in mission.. golden TT. Not funny anymore.....

[spring eagle]

Luckily reshala is easy to kill

[atomic violet]

sure.. but having to hunt/kill him 3 out of 4 days is sort of stupid

[pale shuttle]

That's just how the dice landed my dude

[atomic violet]

I think I annoyed a dev... I'm rolling with that. 😉

[pale shuttle]

'How dare you buy our game, time to make you suffer.'

[atomic violet]

There is "bad roll of the dice"... then there is "hey, you get to hunt bosses almost every day". lul

If I send Nikita a good bottle of Vodka or something, the pain stops right? LOL

[slate hound]

bro how come i gotta pay cus bsg uses toasted go daddy servers

bein dced constantly on servers in an area i ping fine to when i do a manual search

[atomic violet]

ummmm... what?

I just had "ok" ping to EU servers from US. Everything ran fine

[slate hound]

ive pinged different servers in areas where bsgs servers are located my oings fine but then i get into raid every now and then and my pings 200+

[atomic violet]

only place I've ever ran 200+ ping (out of pure curiosity) are like AUS servers

[slate hound]

DUDE IDEK

its crazy cus ill play chicago at a decent ping one raid then its 170 the next i have to restart my game over and over till my ping fixes

makes no sense

[atomic violet]

hmmmm

[hollow parrot]

can anyone tell me what the best map for scav hunting would probably be?

I gotta shoot em in the legs

[slate hound]

reserve or interchange

[sinful hawk]

@slate hound interchange reserve is bad

[slate hound]

hes looking for scavs thos emaps have the highest density of scavs

i mean those maps are shit tho

for anything else

[arctic kelp]

Reserve's scavs show up immediately. Shoreline has worked for me before but meh

[placid geode]

Depending on your spawn there’s a few customs scav spawns you can bank on

[hollow parrot]

i just went for shoreline bc i gotta kill 12 in the next hour and a half lol

[hollow parrot]

ty

[abstract lion]

most of them don't show up immediately, but they do show up very soon within the first 7 mins or so

but like you can run through the lot behind black knight in the first 5 mins and see no scavs

after that you gotta watch out

[burnt rain]

whats the best 308 suppressor besides thunder beast and the tlok combo?

[full night]

that's it isn't it

just those two

and then lantac bmd three piece but that's not a can

[fair orchid]

What price should one pay for a red key card if paying with rubles ? I’ll take all guesses

[full night]

don't think people put them up for money

super weird hasnt in weeks

[ashen folio]

i had a dream the game wiped im not sure if illl be happy or sad when it really happens

[full night]

wipe thursday

[fierce orchid]

same like every month the noobs want a wipe because they think they get a bigger chance

what is with a stalker DLC a acident is happend an only zombiescaves are left

[full night]

can only win a fight when everyone is rocking shit fuckin gear

[fierce orchid]

buy good ammo! leg meta !

all of newbees wanna save his money on bad ammo

but the expensive rigs or mask for 50oooR they buy

search for a group dont play alone!

[warped vigil]

Played zero to hero today, 50% survival rate and only profitable raids, enjoy Tarkov

you wont have bigger chance with wipe cuz I will go Reserve, loot raiders and will dominate even more)

or someone will go labs once and will get x3 more good loot)

[full night]

hello reading comprehension missing?

[warped vigil]

no hablo ingles senior

[full night]

muy bien

[fierce orchid]

the pros are after 3 days level42 !!! and motivated !! Yeaa @warped vigil at the moment are better to play and u have lot more chances to survie! after an wipe all are supermotivatet this patch was a lot fishi gays too

[burnt rain]

How come there is no timer for the trader restock for me nice bug

[dapper oasis]

That happens all the time

[solemn viper]

why do grenades no longer give contusion? When I first started playing tarkov I really liked grenade effects because unlike other games you really felt those explosions. I think there was even ringing in ears and stuff like that but it seems it was removed. No explosions are sh*t like in other games. Sometimes I barely notice i was hit by a grenade blast

[dapper oasis]

It's only if you take damage from the grenade

If it's in an adjacent room it won't mess with you

[solemn viper]

I took damage from a grenade and I got no contusion. Is there a specific amount of damage you must take?

[dapper oasis]

I'm pretty sure you have to be in the shockwave aka mega close
If a piece of shrapnel hits your leg from 10 meters it doesn't do it

[solemn viper]

I think it was better when the area of contusion was bigger. Area of damage should also be MINIMUM area of contusion

[dapper oasis]

The nades don't just have a damage area like most other games

They literally just explode into shrapnel

[fierce orchid]

i feel the same! U had fear about nades!! and when u not dead u get nice effekts... but at the moment... and the flash is it more worse u have no effekts we test it in a small room nothing...

[onyx mortar]

Wait wipe is Thursday? 😦

[dapper oasis]

No

[onyx mortar]

Thank god

[fierce orchid]

it a old gag from a streamer^^

[dapper oasis]

"wipe Thursday" is a dumb joke people say it all the time

[onyx mortar]

Oh

[sour wagon]

wen weip?

[onyx mortar]

Well I’m just trying to learn Tarkov

[dapper oasis]

It might be in a month tho since it was Christmas last year

[onyx mortar]

And if it wipes u don’t wanna go back to early game

I

[dapper oasis]

A wipe would be good for you then lol, it makes the game way easier

[onyx mortar]

BUT

[dapper oasis]

You won't get ground by m4 slick users

[onyx mortar]

I’m like mid game Tarkov rn

[fierce orchid]

its often depend on a big patch or the game needs a wipe

[onyx mortar]

Like or Atleast early

[sour wagon]

wouldnt it be harder since he'd be fighting other people at quest locations, and quest items would be more expensive?

[onyx mortar]

Like level 18

[dapper oasis]

What level?

[dapper oasis]

That's still early

[onyx mortar]

Ah well I’m going crazy recently

[dapper oasis]

lol

[onyx mortar]

Apparently I had a good head start with 5 mil at level 14

[fierce orchid]

and for an wipe u have mostly an wipeevent for days

[onyx mortar]

But I can’t pvp for shit

[dapper oasis]

Yeah that's a good amount for 15

[fierce orchid]

use good ammo play in a team

[onyx mortar]

Let me tell you I have a 4 man I started with my friends but they are worse than me LOL

[fierce orchid]

your fps shoulnd be low

[sour wagon]

be sneaky and fast

Hi guys!!! I have a question, I played the game about 4 mounth ago and then I stopped and I had no fps problems. Now I started again and I heard that there were graphics updates.... Now I have 40-50, maybe 55-60 fps on a shorin or custom...e.g. on a reservero not to mention 35-40 fix and I think I have no bad gep!! Config : Ryzen 5 3600x Gtx 1660 super card 16gb ram Anyone can recommend something? 🙂

Me and this friendly player scav were working together to kill this 3 man with meta m4s, and we killed two, then I accidentally killed him because I tabbed out and thought he died

i was part of a 5-man scav army yesterday that did everything in their power to kill the pmcs in the reserve barracks

needless to say, we all lost our lives that day

[vivid nacelle]

whats the best stim to use if youre overweight in raid and want to run to extraction quickly

[lost bay]

@vivid nacelle MULE or SJ6, MULE is better but much more expensive

[pale shuttle]

That's peak Scav gameplay

[celest kiln]

Thats awesome, I still remember the time i had a 10 man scav army at K buildings

We had like 7 scavs ontop/around Killa once

are there any good black armored rigs

@still bolt les cailloux parlent maintenant ?

i mean that's an original "about me"

[vivid nacelle]

[glacial vigil]

Does anyone know if there has been any new posts or discussion regarding the end of these wipes and the arrival of the full game? If that is still happening even

Both are happening but we just don't know when

Question: Some guy on this server gave me an extremely good kit worth 600k+ roubles. I am level 9, usually have less than 50k in the bank, it’s my first wipe. Should I sell that gear for guaranteed benefit or risk taking it into a raid with me (I’m very bad)

[raw raven]

Ummmm how did I get 3 hits with 2 shots

[last sapphire]

Bringing it in and losing it would help with gear fear. But I recommend selling it and purchasing some budget kits

[urban crescent]

Alright thanks I’ll consider it

[urban crescent]

How would it help with gear fear tho??

[last sapphire]

Just the process of dying helps with it. I find that losing more expensive gear accelerates that. But it all depends on the person

[pale shuttle]

over pen or fragmentation

jesus christ

[young adder]

the new scav ai stole from me 40k

so i have founda pristine hk

i wante to give it to my bud because he had space to spare

and a scav ai picks that up and leaves

not even using it

[still bolt]

its a dumb thing one of my friends said, so i just saved is as a status

[spring orchid]

i understand

[gusty gorge]

can anyone help with error 213?

[calm fog]

Well bois time to be forced to buy eod

I hate it since its going to get way too easy to play the game with the upgrade and not feel as progressive as standard edition did but the game is going to start going behind a paywall for content

[last sapphire]

as a fellow standard user is eod really that much better?

[calm fog]

Its wayyy easier

[last sapphire]

wondering bc i kinda want to get it when its on sale

ig the stash and gamma is nice

oh shit wait

[spring eagle]

It doesn’t make it easier to kill people but more convenient in a lot of ways

[last sapphire]

forgot abt the trader rep

that makes a solid difference as someone who hates interchange and shoreline

[calm fog]

Max stash which is like combined 40mil if you were to upgrade normally as standard a gamma container which is 3x3 good standing with all traders extra euros and dollars at the start and more starting items

Its for babies

[last sapphire]

ill consider getting it i think

the 3x3 sounds nice

[calm fog]

But I have no choice but to buy it this sale because of arena and future dlcs

[last sapphire]

ty for unintentionally helping me make up my mind

[calm fog]

Lmao no problem

[calm fog]

Makes the game hella easier on top of how easy it already is in terms of economy etc.

But yeah it doesnt change pvp at all

[last sapphire]

now that i think abt it too, every time i upgrade my stash it fills up within like 2 days

so even if it doesnt seem useful it always gets used

[spring eagle]

Game is easy with eod and without it’s just more convenient with it cause you can be lazy with your stash management

[calm fog]

Well its so much better tho having standard edition

It forces you into getting to know the in and out of every price tag in the game

[spring eagle]

How does it effect the price of things

[flat apex]

anyone getting disconnected? im constantly getting high packet loss or whatever, now it says game aborted...

[calm fog]

Whenever I help people with eod in begineers assistance sooo many eod players have unorganized stashes because they can just dump shit

[flat apex]

AND I LOST MY SHIT LMAO WTAF

[calm fog]

I said "forces you into knowing the price in and out of each item" I think you misunderstood

[spring eagle]

No I would just say a lot of beginners have unorganized stashes

[spring eagle]

Still how does it force you to do that any more than normal

[calm fog]

Yes but they can afford too since its eod

[spring eagle]

Again that’s more convenient than it is easy stash management isn’t hard it just takes time

[last sapphire]

i think hes saying you need to optimize what you bring out of raid because you dont always have space. Which i agree with, but at the point im at now, i already do that and am just holding myself back

[calm fog]

Because at the start of the wipe you pick up the necessary items you know are good for when you unlock flea and it fills fast if youre farming while questing

With eod it doesnt matter what you pickup you can store it allin your 40 mil stash

Where as if you have standard edition the stash is wayyyyy smaller than some of you think, it got very filled when this wipe happened and flea was lvl 20

[spring eagle]

But with eod you still learn the prices of items lol I don’t think many people actively go on flea to check for what prices items are to memorize it

[calm fog]

I mean I got like 13mil out of it at the end it felt relieving

?

Ofcourse you would every streamer every player recommends it you have to know what to pickup in raid and what not to

What is your point?

[spring eagle]

My point is how does having a smaller stash change the value in know price tags

[last sapphire]

it doesnt change the value, it just necessitates it more as a new player than eod would

[calm fog]

Alright let me ask you did you originally start off on standard or did you instantly upgrade to eod

[spring eagle]

I started off standard then went to left behind then eod

[calm fog]

I never said it changes the value, do you read the entirety of the text before you even reply? I'm mentioning that the tarkov enviorment is much harsher for a standard edition player and forces them into min-maxing from the get go

Untill the eventual unlock of flea

The traders also take significantly longer to level up which is crucial

Alot of items early and late wipe that are t3 and above trader level sell for 3x the price

[spring eagle]

You have to do like 10 more quests per trader and most of them aren’t that hard

[calm fog]

They are. because you have to look that it takes 10 more HARDER quests not the starting ones to catch up.

Its simple logic

[spring eagle]

I’ve done it before as standard no they aren’t that hard. Maybe when your new but no they aren’t

It’s annoying and a waste of time not hard

[last sapphire]

yeah the extra quests for ragman and peacekeeper arent hard. Only thing is that you can skip out on punisher for lvl 3 prapor, but you should do those anyways

[calm fog]

Time is everything.

Even if lets say we both agree its not hard

That is like an extra 8 raids if all goes PERFECTLY to get ahead

[spring eagle]

A lot of people with standard go for punisher anyways

[calm fog]

And at the start of wipe we all know servers reach max capacity so its significantly harder to do the same task everyone else is doing, unless you are ahead.

So those 8 raids

Go into extra 20 raids

[last sapphire]

yeah, i fucking hate that task, but i hate not having easy access bp more

[calm fog]

After you get tarkov'd alot

[spring eagle]

That’s grenadier for me

[calm fog]

Yeah alot of them go for punisher because of BP and epsilon after part 6

[last sapphire]

wait im dumb what does grenadier get you

[spring eagle]

Best bullet in the game ps12b

[last sapphire]

thats a goober move

[spring eagle]

(Not actually the best just one of the funnest)

[last sapphire]

respect for using the ash12 tho

[mighty oar]

NOT factual B-32/BZT-44M better

[spring eagle]

Uh actually those are destructive devices smh

[last sapphire]

that sounds like something someone who buys m855a1 off flea would say @mighty oar

[calm fog]

Well you need it for Kappa and then it leads to test drive part 1 and Insomnia I think which are both for kappa

[mighty oar]

No they are both .50cal

[spring eagle]

Also for the original reason they might sell arena dlc separately anyways Idk

[calm fog]

Anyways I hope Nikita decreases some of the eod benefits and only lets me keep the season pass

Which I doubt will happen

[mighty oar]

NSV best gun too.

[calm fog]

Because the eod babies will start crying since "its not something they paid for"

[last sapphire]

they should just making closing the distance better.

easier*

[calm fog]

Yeah, I don't mind some benefits

But theyre are way too huge atm

Just the 40mil stash makes a big difference and thats of like 4 big benefits

[last sapphire]

well yeah but you pay for them. They shouldnt change what someone has already paid for. And tbf being standard isnt that much harder

[calm fog]

Well I kinda hate doing the quests over the same several wipes so the other thing there was to grind was to get epsilon and the stash upgrades

Apart from that there really isnt much content out there, but then again I understand its still in beta.

[last sapphire]

i get what your saying. I just think its an issue with how the game is structured rather than the game editions

[calm fog]

But if theyre going to keep it like this atleast make hardware bans for fucking cheaters, nikita needs to stop making money off them

[calm fog]

Exactly.

Honestly just the biggest problem apart from me crying that Im going to be buying an advantage just for the dlc pass is the cheating problem

Hard to detect, people make money off it by selling kits and when you get banned you already made enough money for another standard edition lmao

And nikita prob knows about it but he is milking them

[last sapphire]

you could try not using 5 slots from the gamma, etc, if that makes it better. But i see the eod stuff as more qol rather than straight up advantage

[calm fog]

For money

[calm fog]

Nah I'm going to use it for full potentional

But i'm going to start giving out alot more shit to new players so I can atleast feel some sort of struggle for money

And it'll keep me busy untill a new game comes out that is actually good.

[last sapphire]

if you dont think the game is good i dont recommend buying eod

[calm fog]

No its good don't get me wrong, but Its not like its my first wipe

Stuff gets repetitive, I enjoy it but once you reach late game there isnt much to do apart from pvp and sherpaing

[last sapphire]

Your lvl 29...

Let me rephrase

Don’t mean that as an insult, just confused on how that’s end game

[calm fog]

I have literally 15 mil with thicc and a weapons case and a couple slicks in my stash

I'm not doing kappa this wipe so I'm not doing most of the quests

And I understand your point I don't take it as an insult dw, I would've said the same.

I got kappa last wipe and I had no intent on doing it this wipe

[last sapphire]

fair enough, ig i always think of end game as when you have t4 traders and can buy an advanced buffer tube for not 180k

[calm fog]

So all I did was do the necessary quests to reach therapist to lvl 3 as fast as possible so I can start hoarding cheap labs cards and make my money that way. And since they added dynamic loot, I didn't really need many keys this wipe apart from all the resort keys and some marked rooms that I bought for dorms and reserve + ultra med.

[calm fog]

Lmao yeah well everyone sets a different goal I guess

[last sapphire]

true

[calm fog]

I mean its tarkov your end goal can be all the punisher quests or just making the most expensive m4a1 or killing someone with a thousand sun shotgun

[last sapphire]

also if your pvping a lot you probs dont need to worry a ton about building stuff from scratch

assuming your good at it

[calm fog]

I'd say im pretty good not a leaderboards god like bakeezy tho

He makes the game look like its a roblox tycoon simulator

[last sapphire]

oh mb

meant that as a general you, not you in specific

[calm fog]

Oh alright my bad I understood that wrong, well in any case you've got a point.

[last sapphire]

all g, the way i said it made it come off like how you interpreted it

[eternal lagoon]

so what was the answer to the hex-latin puzzle ?

[hot kite]

I Have a black keycard up for trade for a few 995 if anyone is interested

[uneven meteor]

when is wipe
