💣tarkov-released

[zenith pollen]

Me losing the email in the first place was my fault

[severe spindle]

Mimimimi yourself

[zenith pollen]

But the fact bsg refuses to let me change it is 100% their fault

[winged mica]

BSG refused?

[zenith pollen]

They don't like let me do anything else to prove that it's me except for

[winged mica]

They never agreed to do anything in the first place

[zenith pollen]

"Look into email"

[winged mica]

Why ya think hackers are still there

[zenith pollen]

Even though I have a backup email linked to my account AND 2fa with google auth

[winged mica]

Also you lost acc? Thats fine

[zenith pollen]

But they just completely ignore that

[winged mica]

Theu gain extra 59 USD from u making new one

[zenith pollen]

I'm not gonna make a new one

[winged mica]

Just sayin

[zenith pollen]

This game is NOT worth spending money over again

I mean I got my money out of it but I don't like the game in its current state

[winged mica]

Yeh the game is

Eating a lot of shit since Unheard

[zenith pollen]

I'd still play on wipes though but I don't want to pay for it again

Not worth to play 2 weeks every 6 months

This the thing which keeping me from playing spt 😭

I just wanna install the game

[winged mica]

Justified too

[severe spindle]

It was always eating a lot of shit and it was always deserved

[zenith pollen]

I'm still logged in on the website but they just don't respond to my support tickets anymore

Unlucky

[winged mica]

Yeh but

Unheard brought out the worst of them

Usually they eat shit but there would be a lot of ppl support them

W Unheard they eat shit and a lot of ppl used to support them shit on them

[zenith pollen]

The mods were making memes about people meatriding bsg 😭

And spreading them too

[winged mica]

Show one

[zenith pollen]

Bro its been so long but I can prolly find one

Give me a sec

[winged mica]

The fuck

[wintry ridge]

this one sucks

[severe spindle]

Sparter is here so this place can't be that bad

[spring fable]

anyone got tipps for improving fps on streets?

[tame dawn]

i dont use the mod, was iust trying to find solutions

[tame dawn]

Most fps gains is gonna be from ai limiting. I can't even reasonably run streets on max textures/shadows with a 3080 and 5800x3d

Map is just beefy

[winged mica]

this one sucks

[tame dawn]

[wintry ridge]

it really do tho

it has a bunch of shit that you cant disable

that just changes the whole game

despite just being there to make raids longer

[severe spindle]

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you, I just find it funny that you said the exact same thing as I did

[wintry ridge]

only one take can be made about that mod i guess

this one sucks

[winged mica]

@severe spindle https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1990-usex-into-glf2-models/

[severe spindle]

At the very least, this would cure my terminal blindness

[hushed elk]

nah thats the cringe one

[winged mica]

none of these are cringe

they dont even have maid dress

[hushed elk]

nah the cool one is the ones for the player models

[spring fable]

aaaaaaa

i hate this fucking map so much

middle of the road
bum

10 ai pmc fought on this road

[hushed elk]

[spring fable]

literally
i looted a guy
stand up
start running down the street
2 sec later
bum

at least i have all the headshots

[tame dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-god-gif-544391445517116565

[wintry ridge]

get uhh

de hazardifier

[spring fable]

yeah been thinking about it

on another note
does the M18 smoke grenade work for extracting?

[wintry ridge]

no

[spring fable]

so its useless?

[wintry ridge]

yes

[spring fable]

stupid

handed in one streets quest
got 2 more

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-cat-gif-18770750

[tame dawn]

I like streets when the fps isn't murdering me

[spring fable]

i like it when i dont have to run around with a bolt action rifle in urban combat
and when i dont get blown up by random mines you cant see
and when the fps allows you to hit shit

hmm did i forget something🤔

guess thats enough

[compact knoll]

this is horrible

[spring fable]

also did you try driving around with the btr?
no only locks it your camera into place, it was clipping the whole ride

almost as funny as the glitch from the drug farm container on lighthouse

where parts of your screen just turn black

[winged mica]

Hard bass

More dlc

Pagman

[winged mica]

Huh

What they addin

[ancient marsh]

Yes

[tame dawn]

Deez

[uncut coral]

new edition

[winged mica]

Heard Edition 😍

[ancient marsh]

Unseen edition: all proceeds go to tint Nikita’s BMW

[gray compass]

remove fog iirc

unless they did that already

[ancient marsh]

Why would they shut down their website

Dingus

Not only do you not know, you don’t ever read the post that says what is going down

[gray compass]

so?

[hallow stream]

Streets has to be the worst map ever created

This shits ass

Ass performance
Buggy ass btr that flies into the air and when you exit it, it kills you
Annoying ass sniper scav placement
Annoying ass mine placement
Boss placement is semi horrendous

Like i just fell to my death

Cause the btr decided to go to the moon

[stark torrent]

should record that

Ye the map runs like ass mostly

[tame dawn]

Almost as bad as reserve and its quirky lighting+sound performance issues

[pseudo storm]

Personally I believe reserve was a more enjoyable map before the addition of the underground section

[tame dawn]

I like the mix of areas. It a deceptively large map

Especially once you get stuck in the d2 backrooms

The loot nerfs and focusing raiders underground really screwed the map imo

[pseudo storm]

Feels like a labyrinth down there sometimes

[nocturne monolith]

the mines are the funniest part to me

as in comically stupid

as if the lack of maps and weird glitch spots all over every other map weren't enough to reinforce the knowledge > skill gap, lets add a bunch of fixed mines that are easy to avoid if you've memorised them

just annoying shit that doesn't really add anything of value

[stark torrent]

ughhh i mean they mark the edge of the map ?

[hallow stream]

I like reserve

If it was easier to extract from the map

It would be even better

[spring fable]

mines do have a good purpose as zoning tools
however the 2 i died to in streets were just randomly placed at the entrance to that scav alley

[nocturne monolith]

nah the ones in streets

the edge of the map ones are a little dumb but whatever

[spring fable]

or the boobytraps in gz

[nocturne monolith]

the ones in streets in just random doors and shit

but actually fixed so they just kill you once and then never again

unless you lose 50FPS turning around because streets and lag into one

[spring fable]

even the mines in woods dont instakill

at least the ones near usec camp

either way in a shooter game, instakill boobytraps are just toxic, except you make a game about vietnam

[autumn estuary]

Reserve is neat, just a shame the extracts suck

[spring fable]

you know what tarkov needs? a thermal scope for the specialist slot

like the distance measurer

never loose out on a corpse again

[hallow stream]

Holy fucking chonk

gun that takes 3 spaces

light house might be goated

[ancient marsh]

rly good one btw

[hallow stream]

180k at scorpion

i sold it

[spring fable]

your loss

running this one rn

[ancient marsh]

oh spt

[ancient marsh]

don't even have to swap the scope imo

i really like the schimdt for rogues

it zooms in just far enough

[brittle sinew]

You can make an MP9 thermal for about 60k

It's essentially a thermal spotter

I do it in live, works alright

Better than no thermal

[spring fable]

i mean scope is just personal preference
i mean i did my 500+m shot with the tango, so 6x is enough for me in most situations

[ancient marsh]

isnt the thermal SUPER dogshit

in vanilla at least

[brittle sinew]

Yes

[ancient marsh]

it's like 10x10 pixels resolution

💀

[brittle sinew]

Like I said

When you have nothing else, it's fine

[ancient marsh]

i'd say no thermal is better

cause you're relying on it instead eyes

and eyes are better than that thing

[brittle sinew]

Do both

Why do I need to say that

It does best in squad play, given that you can't shoot while you have the thing out

And because you have more eyes and ears, obviously

I find it works best on forested maps, where spotting a bush man can be hard
Like woods, like shoreline

[spring fable]

hmm
i mean just to spot bodies is kinda meh
had a pmc with a g28 or the like being swallowed by the grass on woods even tho i legged it straight for his body

[ancient marsh]

[stark torrent]

yeah i mean

i love them quests

imagine if they spend one afternoon to tweak dailies a bit more

so people would actually do them and play the game late wipe

[ancient marsh]

they do be tweakin at bsg

[stark torrent]

yeah, nikita tweakin on that sj69

[ancient marsh]

obdolbos 3

[frozen olive]

So, what's new on the website?

[stark torrent]

Lightkeeper Sex Pass for 69.99

[frozen olive]

Damn, where is the Prapor Backdoor pass

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/335438088816033794/1122892814800396288/FGO_Never_Stop_Smiling.gif

[rich venture]

Worth trust

[spring fable]

i mean some quests are the exact other way round

bring 2 rolls of tape, get a bitcoin

hmm doesnt look too shabby

could probably even go for a bigger supressor

[ancient marsh]

That’s a suppressor?

Is the upper swapped?

Idk why you rotated the gun

[spring fable]

i mean
technically i guess its not a supressor
but it does supress according to the stats

[ancient marsh]

Oh so it’s not a suppressor

Unless spt does something

[spring fable]

i mean it says loudness minus 25

[hallow stream]

holy scam

[brittle sinew]

The loudness stat is a meme

It straight up, is not real

[hallow stream]

I FUCKING LOVE FACTORY

https://tenor.com/view/when-you-are-cutting-people-and-the-knife-start-gliding-through-them-knife-cutting-people-when-gif-10886167563047245322

when you are shooting people with a mp155 on factory and the bullets start putting holes in them

[spring fable]

yeah
found that out just now after googling, too

also
the first time i killed shturman i got his key
so i thought oh he must be always dropping that shit
little did i know

i think ill finish the 20 kills before getting that key again

[frozen olive]

Woe is you

Lotus x10

[hallow stream]

lmao

[stark torrent]

No cringe pls

[vivid dawn]

fuck

i stared to long into the void

the void stared bacc

[stark torrent]

Red is cringe

Blue is pog

[vivid dawn]

xD

yeah i know

[stark torrent]

i would love to have that compass if you have.....the compass equiped

that would be actually big brain

[vivid dawn]

like that HUD mod is big QOL

i dont need a guide at all

it just doesnt show me if i require a key or smth

Which isnt bad cause you will figure that out normaly

[spring fable]

wait does that also show mission objectives???

[vivid dawn]

what does it look like.

[spring fable]

like a fata morgana

[vivid dawn]

lol

it also has COD hitmarkers and EXP showup shit

But im happy you can disable all of it

way to much customisation options

[spring fable]

can you give me the name of that hud mod?

[vivid dawn]

https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/652-game-panel-hud/

[winged mica]

Need to clutter it more

Add armor live stats

And add gun condition stats

[soft coral]

damn , iedy wishes he had this

[vivid dawn]

smh

theres a nose sticking out

[soft coral]

always has been

[rich venture]

Power armour mod for spt when

[winged mica]

the fact u guys can PvP in live game

is just cool

[vivid dawn]

Stalkger Exos are already a thing xD

[spring fable]

if i start a new run
i know where to go for hideout material
its ungodly how much stuff you find in the camp on shoreline

like you can just straight up leg it there and you know youll get back with a decent haul

[brittle sinew]

Press U

Or whatever the compass is bound to

Smh

Now what would be cool is a NV compass assembly, now that's actual hud

[brittle sinew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYd70uk78Cc Check it out

[spring fable]

you know they could make it so if you have compass they could blend in the basic compas hud there and if you have a map it shows the extracts on it
just saying

[brittle sinew]

Useful maps? Now that would be nice

My only gripes with the ingame maps are:

1. The resolution is tied to the texture settings
2. They're outdated + no new maps

[spring fable]

were talking about the hud mod

[brittle sinew]

That would also be nice

Not my cuppa, but nice

I like a clean hud, not to be cluttered with extracts, compass, ammo, etc. I like such to be behind actions

[spring fable]

i dont like having a wiki open at all times

[brittle sinew]

Except health, I cba to press tab every time to see if I'm hungy

[spring fable]

also you could make it that you have to pull out the compas like now to get the hud

[brittle sinew]

Map learning is one of my favourite parts of when a new map gets released

[spring fable]

so many possibilitys

[brittle sinew]

Man I wish I could relive that

Walking around like an idiot 🙏

[brittle sinew]

Game already shows compass values when you have it out though?

[spring fable]

exactly

[brittle sinew]

You mean you want a lil compass bar? I feel you

[spring fable]

what i want is that you are able to accomplish quests ingame without having to pull up 2 maps and the wiki

[brittle sinew]

I just want it arma style, that's my favourite (Also the most realistic 😎)

[brittle sinew]

Imo that comes down to quest descriptions, which are vague by design

If they were precise, we wouldn't need a million wiki tabs open

"Uhhh lorem ipsum dolor sit amet wall of text, somewhere in the one of the dorms, you'll figure out out"

At least in this one you can deduce that a jacket in 3 story dorms spawns the key

Which jacket? "I don't remember the room "

[spring fable]

check out these 15 stores for me, will ya? do you have a map? i can mark their location on it

can you pick up a letter for me at the post office? gimme your map, ill show you where to find it

can you pick up that package for me on customs? ill mark the warehouse on the map for you

[brittle sinew]

Would be nice, would be nice

Sounds possible for SPT

[spring fable]

sounds possible for live

[brittle sinew]

No

[spring fable]

either way i dont give a shit about how vague these quests are formulated
its just shitty quest design
like delicious sausage id love to know how long it took for you to find all the 5 stores only with the info the game provides you with

[hallow stream]

ehhhh

this is like a shit ton of visual clutter ngl

specifically on the bottom part of your screen

Anyone got a clue whats a shotgun shell with the farthest range I can load into a toz

reason being:

[wintry ridge]

devestator slug

[hallow stream]

thank you

[ancient marsh]

poleva 6u

highest velocity and pen

[hallow stream]

I will master the toz

[ancient marsh]

the slug goes about as fast as 9x19 PST

[vivid dawn]

How is that clutter?

Its literaly minimal

It doesnt obstruct anything or is imparing your view

[hallow stream]

to me it kinda is tbh i cant tell what resolution you are on

so its probably fine for you

[quaint hull]

https://youtu.be/w35FZ1zY7BY?si=38SMBE7JlvUBHIDV

[vivid dawn]

Just normal 1080p

1920x1080

And if you break it down to just the compass you wont notice it most of the time

[soft coral]

@stark torrent

what precision boost overdrive does to a cpu

[severe spindle]

Let's just turn this game into CoD

[pastel apex]

Wait is eft down rn?

[winged mica]

I shot a dude 123 meters from the MG building across terra on Ground Zer w Devas slug

It was hilarious

I didnt expect to kill him

[spring fable]

meanwhile i started anew
my questlog was just too cluttered

[winged mica]

Maybe giving myself 100 daily quest and 100 weekly quest was a mistake

[spring fable]

at once?

[winged mica]

Yes

[spring fable]

i might have a better mod for you

[winged mica]

I cant even tell where is my main quest

[spring fable]

it removes cooldown timers on daily and weekly

[winged mica]

Instant repeatable?

[spring fable]

jep

[winged mica]

I just modded my SVM

[spring fable]

i mean with instant repeatable you get your normal amount to work with but once you finish the quest you instantly get a new one
i think that is more desirable than 100 quests to sift through

[soft coral]

you can

its spt you can do anything

:D

[ancient marsh]

Anyone know what the update added?

[stark torrent]

If i would guess id say they prob preparing for Ryzhy event

So they prob added the new event waiting to start when TarkovTV is out

Like last year

[frosty basalt]

goons are so ridiculous lmao

i was in an offline raid

they chased me to UPPER chalet

???

[ancient marsh]

? They chased me to swamp village on woods

From scav bunker

[frosty basalt]

yoooo they chased you to sunken from bunker thats insane

[severe spindle]

Well I don't want to as it ruins the game imo

[soft coral]

ok so dont

the fk

[severe spindle]

[hallow stream]

guys help

I hear audio on tarkov reversed

like I hear whats on my right to my left and whats forward is behind me

its super fucking weird

what the fuck

like my headset audio is reversed or some shit

[round gust]

Audio issues?
In Tarkov?
You must be crazy

[hallow stream]

it was fine yesterday

[frozen olive]

... did you put your headset the wrong way

[hallow stream]

No I didnt

I know I didnt cause all the buttons and my mic is on my left

[spring fable]

You can just as well make the hud look like this
has made questing much more enjoyable and doesnt intrude much
didnt have to open a single map since getting the hud

[severe spindle]

The compass I don't mind (that much). It's the ammo count, hitmarkers, kill feed and health/thirst/energy being displayed. Yes I know you can disable those (as in the screenshot provided)

[spring fable]

only thing i might look into is if i can make the hud show on holding o or something

[severe spindle]

As Iedy said, the compass hud being displayed when you have a compass equipped would be dope

[spring fable]

that would be the cherry on top

[severe spindle]

Or on key bind, yes

[spring fable]

would make tarkov accessible
no more killing noobs while they are afk looking at maps

[severe spindle]

Invest in a 2nd screen just to have the map of your current location open

The good old times of opening the map on your phone while the raid was loading

[spring fable]

hmm
i was thinking of printing them out
but these days i just need tgem for quests
well, not anymore

[severe spindle]

You play with your friend and you just hear them frantically searching through a pile of papers

[spring fable]

still cheaper than a second monitor

[severe spindle]

[vivid dawn]

[hallow stream]

Welcome to my 9mm Mukbang!!!!

[frozen olive]

...

Wording

[severe spindle]

The minimum amount of projectiles required to penetrate a scav's behind

[severe spindle]

You were saying?

[frozen olive]

Calm down mr ANal

[severe spindle]

AN-94 is not in the game yet 🤓

[winged mica]

Just need 1 shot

[frozen olive]

One pump chump

[severe spindle]

Shame I didn't save a replay from yesterday's session with a friend

[frozen olive]

https://tenor.com/view/gachimuchi-gif-20116037

[severe spindle]

Where I unloaded on a scav's ass and he didn't die

[winged mica]

If he was wearing a 6B33

Yeh

Its a level 3

[severe spindle]

My bullets had level 4 pen

[winged mica]

Well I thought you are firing PST

Its Level 2 pen

What caliber was it

Man I play with Realism mod

No ammo is useless if every ammo is overpen

Even HP has level 3 pen now

[severe spindle]

"Realism"
Level 3 pen on HP

[winged mica]

I didnt make the rule

[ancient marsh]

realism is when no body armor

meanwhile they make plates that stop .30-06 AP rounds

[winged mica]

I mean

XSAPI irl stops .30-06 AP

Either ESAPI or XSAPI

Military uses it

[ancient marsh]

yeah that's what i meant

[winged mica]

I still like how in realism

There is 556 Warmage that insta kill if you hit unarmored target

But completely useless if you hit armored

It has 5 pen

And 250 Damage

[severe spindle]

Oh, you mean those bullets I thought are cool because they had an edgy name but turned out to be useless because they can be stopped by a piece of cloth?

[winged mica]

In normal Tarkov yes

In Tarkov 80% of ammo are useless

And like 100% of early trader ammo are useless

Also thats how they called it irl

[winged mica]

But if you shot those at hand or leg

They will kill faster than head shot

[severe spindle]

The good old

[winged mica]

Like they completely ignore armor

[severe spindle]

Leg meta

[winged mica]

Yeeh

It prevails

[severe spindle]

Of course they ignore armor

There is no armor on legs / arms

[winged mica]

And uh

80% of Tarkov quests are still painful to do

Despite the game is PvE now

[severe spindle]

Not really "PvE now"

[winged mica]

Ig its somewhat less painful since its not sweaty pvp

[severe spindle]

PvE is a separate mode with separate progression

[winged mica]

Well i dont play Live or PvE

I play SPT

So i could give less of a caring

[severe spindle]

I play both SPT and PvE

[winged mica]

I have no reasons for PvE mode

[severe spindle]

I do

[winged mica]

I guess

[severe spindle]

It's called "I have a friend"

[winged mica]

Well yeh I play Coop in SPT too

[severe spindle]

It's easier to just play PvE

[winged mica]

And I dont gotta wait 20 minute queue

[severe spindle]

Most of the time it's 1-2 minutes max

[winged mica]

And I could throw mods on top as a plus

[severe spindle]

Most mods are meh for me

[winged mica]

A plus for me

[severe spindle]

The only mod I want is Immersive Raids but it's outdated

[winged mica]

And friend who doesnt have PvE can also join me

Havent checked if I get access to PvE

[severe spindle]

You have EoD?

[winged mica]

I do

I just havent checked

[severe spindle]

So you probably have PvE

[hallow stream]

Whoever likes woods is mentall deranged and ill

holy shit this map sucks

[severe spindle]

I guess I'm mentally deranged and ill

[winged mica]

Wouldnt say I like it

But wouldnt say I love it

[hallow stream]

pick your extract guys!!! you only have 2 options and both are on the opposite sides of the map and 1 is a single time use!!!!!!!!

[winged mica]

Its great map for me to do med or food run

Like best map

[severe spindle]

I like woods because it's not an urban map

[winged mica]

Without me having to treck the forbidden zone of Reserve

Usually I would run GZ for food run

But Woods aint bad

GZ is more tool run rn for me

Woods for food

Interchange for loot

[severe spindle]

If I have to pick between goint to GZ or Woods, I will go to Woods

As a matter of fact, I will literally go to any other map, except Streets

[winged mica]

Its not like there is any choices

[severe spindle]

There is

[winged mica]

A lot of early game quests are on Woods

[severe spindle]

I can just say "fuck you" to tasks and go wherever

[winged mica]

Especially fuckin regarded Jaeger

Trying to 100% quest progression is a pain

[severe spindle]

Just don't do 100% then

[winged mica]

Meh

To play a CBT game

You gotta CBT

[severe spindle]

It ain't much of a cbt game without other players

[winged mica]

Just some quest are straight up

Cock n Ball ripping

Than cock n ball torturing

[severe spindle]

The biggest bullshit in eft comes from other players being assholes

Remove them from the equation and it's relatively chill and maybe even fun at times

The core gameplay mechanic of the PvP mode is ruining the fun of other people

[winged mica]

I think for PvP many people moved to ABI

And a lot of Tarkov prefer to stick w PvE or SPR

SPT*

Mostly SPT

[severe spindle]

SPT was the only option for PvE Tarkov for some time

[winged mica]

It is the only option that doesnt require any payment rather than standard game

[severe spindle]

However, as a person who has access to PvE mode in normal Tarkov, I don't feel like I really need SPT anymore

[winged mica]

I mean

Ig thats great

[severe spindle]

I don't really feel like modding the game because I personally think the base game is fine as is

[winged mica]

I just prefer SPT as an alternative as I can do what PvE can

And I did not have access to it when Unheard came out

And it became a norm for me

[severe spindle]

I'm pretty sure PvE became a thing in EFT specifically because SPT is a thing and BSG does not like it

[winged mica]

Or many people are running to ABI or GZW

So BSG was scurrying it up to have PvE mode

[severe spindle]

No, I don't think it's the cause

SPT was a thing for a long time

And BSG was against it

Saying it's piracy

But that didn't stop people from using SPT instead

[winged mica]

They are but they dont really care about it that much

Actually maybe they do if you stream it

[severe spindle]

So they just went "ok, fuck it, here's your PvE, now give us 250 euro"

[winged mica]

Funny how I heard Unheard

Wasnt 250 USD in Russian price

[severe spindle]

While I do think that the whole Unheard thing was a big L for BSG, right now I'm actually quite enjoying my access to PvE as a very long time EoD owner and if it weren't for the fact that I play PvE together with my friend, I would not even think about using SPT anymore

[spring fable]

nah, external shit had nothing to do with that
they miscalculated with arena and wanted to get some money back

[winged mica]

Tbh

Arena was pretty lazy

Its not like it isnt working because its terrible

[spring fable]

250 dollars for pve also is lazy

[winged mica]

Its just they cant be bothered to make Arena a great gamemode

[spring fable]

especially if you dont even adjust the ai for it

[winged mica]

And charge like extra 49 USD?

[severe spindle]

PvE should just be a standard edition feature imo

It's the same game, just without the sweaty tryhards and it's actually a nice training ground if you have 0 idea about what you're doing

[spring fable]

yes
and with how they were arcting before unheard about it is just hypocrisy now

if you can monetize it, pve suddently is ok

[winged mica]

Also

BSG still did not admit they change advertisement statement on their website

[severe spindle]

The issue here isn't that PvE is bad, but that BSG are a bunch of money hungry idiots

[spring fable]

i mean i always said i would love tarkov to have a offline mode
and people said thats not what tarkov is
guess money changes perspective

[rigid shuttle]

Considering that Live PVE still requires the use of BSG hosted servers, which cost money, asking for money for it isn't a ridiculous concept.
Granted, they could have developed an entirely new system that uses locally hosted servers and peer-to-peer matching, but clearly they went for the quicker, more financially viable solution

[spring fable]

but rn, with all the ai and qol improvements, i honestly cant imagine playing live pve

[severe spindle]

My brother in christ, EFT is already ridiculously expensive for what it is

[rigid shuttle]

$40?

[spring fable]

if that was the reason they should have loved spt

[hushed elk]

imagine paying 40$ to play this dogshit game

[spring fable]

no extra cost, but more revenue from people wanting to play offline

[rigid shuttle]

Yes, they should have looked at hiring the SPT devs. But Russians are generally (no offense to any Russians) stupid and too proud to make rational decisions

[winged mica]

I dont get it

Why they dont spend time making a PvE that doesnt require dedicated server

[severe spindle]

$56 for base edition

[spring fable]

also to go into you last paragraph, not only the easuer method but also the one that is not desirable for the players

[winged mica]

EFT for me was 60 USD

I remember it being 60 when I got it in 2018

I just upgraded to EOD when the upgrade is 30 USD

[severe spindle]

Wait, is EoD no longer a thing?

[winged mica]

Yeh

[severe spindle]

[winged mica]

Its been gone since 2023

[vivid dawn]

are you living on the moon ?

They took it out since a year xD

[severe spindle]

I literally didn't care about EFT until PvE came out

[vivid dawn]

thats why they tried Unheard edition

Yeah but you got all the unheard shit

[winged mica]

My man prefer Sdalger

[spring fable]

considering it was marketed as a limited edition but de facto was handled as the base edition more or less
i bet more people bought eod than standart if you discount hackers

[winged mica]

Didn't they say they gave hacker a discount to get back?

Or its a falsified rumor

[rigid shuttle]

Convenient rumor where sales for the game happen (sometimes) within a month of big ban waves

[severe spindle]

Like I bought standard edition in 2020, upgraded to EoD in 2021, played for a bit and after that I stopped

Now knowing that, think about why could I possibly not notice that EoD was gone since 2023, hm?

[vivid dawn]

Because of the Unheard drama.

Thats why i thought you might know.

[severe spindle]

I knew about Unheard drama via my friend who is more interested in EFT than I ever was

But he didn't tell me all the details

My basic understanding was that BSG was being greedy, again

[vivid dawn]

Mhhh i thought you were reading here.

Obviously i was wrong.

I mean BSG is always greedy

Fair assumption

[severe spindle]

I stopped reading or watching any EFT related content around january 2022, when I watched my last Pestily stream (until yesterday )

[vivid dawn]

Pestily not even better than BSG rn with selling his stupid Shirts and making money off the drama

[severe spindle]

[rigid shuttle]

What are content creators

[severe spindle]

People who are making content and more successful ones are making money from said content

[vivid dawn]

yeah but critzising and then still creating content for it is ok

but monetising on it with creating merch about it

hell lol

[severe spindle]

You can't just re-brand like that, you know

[vivid dawn]

Especialy with fucking up and doing an illegal move in your own country with putting a false ddiscount on it

[severe spindle]

If you're known from making X content you can't just suddenly start making Y content

[vivid dawn]

Thats why i mean its fine to still do content,not selling merch especialy created for that drama.

[severe spindle]

Fair enough

[vivid dawn]

It worked great for other Tarkov content creators though

thats the fun part.

But i know that.Its not easy and they were kinda lucky.

i just flopped and died with no sound

WTF x.x

[spring fable]

i mean you start a banwave and literally put the game on sale for the weekend
go figure^^

[vivid dawn]

Mayne people buy keys,mostly stolen

and hacks are subscription based mostly

So they dont lose out money after a ban

[winged mica]

hack becomes a business

[hushed elk]

last time i read
i forgot which game was it

but it was a big shooter too

the largest hack distributor reported earnings up to a few millions per year

[severe spindle]

I'm not an expert, but it looks like you got killed by an F-1 hand grenade

[vivid dawn]

[hallow stream]

tbh realistically I dont think anyones buying that

[vivid dawn]

People are stupid

They buy it for the joke

[hallow stream]

then they deserve to get robbed lol

[vivid dawn]

I mean you bought Tarkov

I got EoD gifted

So my friend is dumb dumb

(He is for real)

[severe spindle]

I only upgraded to EoD because my friend, who makes questionable financial decisions, bought EoD when I asked him if he'd be willing to suffer with me

[vivid dawn]

I was asked and said no

Then he said to check my mail

Stupid fucker isnt even playing since then

[severe spindle]

The funny thing is that we both played more or less the same amount of time, but I think that 90% of his brain space is occupied by all the tarkov streams and videos he's seen so he knows the game more than I do

Which I actually find extremely annoying

Because I'm trying to learn the game myself and this fucker already knows every single loot spawn point in the entire game

Besides, when we play "together" I basically gaslight myself into believing that I have some support if anything happens

Realistically, I'm either dead or abandoned as soon as shit hits the fan

[vivid dawn]

Ive played with 2 hardcore people that i got to know quite well ... when i moved without saying anything i usualy got shot by them

[winged mica]

I wonder if I can use SAIN AI to train for live Tarkov (No)

[severe spindle]

If we ignore hackers? Sure

[winged mica]

I remember reaching level 15 in live without even finishing Debut

[severe spindle]

Me too

[vivid dawn]

And when i killed a guy with a nade on Shoreline and they were searching for his corpse 5 minutes they also tkled me for already looting him and not saying anything

Assholes,stopped playing with them.

[severe spindle]

You know, now I appreciate my friend a lot more

[winged mica]

My friend called me for being loot goblin

[severe spindle]

Because he kills stuff and I just dive into the corpses, like a true loot goblin

[winged mica]

Just so the dude ran to the juiciest corpse in the open

And get sprayed

Irony

I remember one of my cool friends

To start me out of the game he gave me a GPU when I joined him first raid

It was around 400k

[severe spindle]

Back when we played live we used to do countless scav runs on Factory to get money quick

[vivid dawn]

They didnt kill shit since they camped til i got shot or i shot the dude they tried to "hunt"

Camping til everyone dies of old age

[severe spindle]

My friend is very aggressive in comparison

[winged mica]

The moment you found ledx

Friendship becomes myth

[severe spindle]

And I think this is why we don't cooperate well together

[vivid dawn]

The moment you found Iedy

[severe spindle]

He will jump in and kill the fuckers

I will wait for the fuckers to move on

Or go around

If there is one thing I really dislike about EFT, it's that the raids have time limitations

[vivid dawn]

Its a stupid concept for the servers

[spring fable]

i remember joining a 2 man squad on a factory pistol run back in the day
dudes just legged every pmc spawn, killed everyone and i was just running after them

[winged mica]

I make my raid 5 hour long

And still got lost in raid

Failure to extract

[severe spindle]

The main reason why I'm good at gammer but bad at eft is that I can just stay low in gammer for as long as I deem necessary before I attack, while in eft I do need to rush stuff

[severe spindle]

The Immersive Raids mod had basically infinite raid durations

And I liked it a lot

Basically, you were only limited by the supplies you took with you / found in raid

[spring fable]

honestly, imo it doesnt make much sense to expand raid timers, at least not by much
youll just spend most of the time looting stuff and maybe increasing your haul by a few k
instead you could just run multiple raids in the same time
i would expand lighthouse maybe
since depending on where you wanna go, youll have to fight through half the map and then potentially sit there without a exfil

on top of the possibility of just getting domed after 3 hour raid

[severe spindle]

Shit happens

I've been in the "we're surrounded, the exfil is on the other side of the map and we only have 4 minutes to go" situations way too many times for me to think it's fun

[spring fable]

i can get behind that, had raids like that, too
but most of the time after reviewing i just have to conclude that i didnt manage time very well

[severe spindle]

Sometimes time management is out of your control

[spring fable]

hmm
i wouldnt say so

[severe spindle]

But I would
Sometimes you just get in a nasty gunfight and it eats up your time

[spring fable]

like yeah, but thats something one has to expect

like planning to extract with a minute left on the timer id already say time management fail

[winged mica]

Sometimes it takes me more than 20 minutes to inspect a location mainly I love environmental design

And Tarkov just happened to peak my interest

[severe spindle]

Yesterday, when we went to Customs, we decided to head to an extract early, so early in fact that we would have enough time to fuck around if we so desired.
We reached the extract with barely enough time to exit, because we ran into so much shit on our way there. Or shit ran into us, one of the two

[winged mica]

And also i just love to take my sweet time

Having to rush against the clock is just stressful

[spring fable]

i can understand that
at the same time i know id just spend any extra time on stuff like sifting thorugh shit, optimizing inventory and unloading ammo from mags
so i actually like having some pressure to keep shit going
to i hate it for sniping

like on woods if you just wanna chill somewhere and shoot shit
timers way to short for that depending on where you spawn and where you wanna hang
at the same time i can understand why they did the timers that way for life
because in life that shit is no good

[severe spindle]

I just mentally reviewed a couple of my recent raids and came to an interesting conclusion

Either my friend is lucky as fuck or I'm unlucky as fuck

[spring fable]

how so

[severe spindle]

I see him fucking eat shit and live

While I just get one tapped

Like yesterday, in dorms

I see him fucking absorb multiple bullets

His dude literally bent 90 degrees backwards

And he just kills the dude and hides to heal

While I, wearing the same armor and helmet

Just fucking die

[spring fable]

just par for the course with how ai aims

[severe spindle]

But my favourite moment from yesterday

[spring fable]

like sain makes it a bit better but 80% of the time armor be useless

[severe spindle]

Was when I received one blunt force damage from a single buckshot pellet to the head that hit me from god knows how far away

[ancient marsh]

https://youtube.com/shorts/iayBIFx3rMU?si=WCsXNEFnai4kpIaC

[severe spindle]

At the time I had no idea what hit me

Because my dude just made a noise, I hid, checked my health and equipment and noticed one armor point missing from my helmet

And after raid

I just see "Blunt force 12g buckshot"

[severe spindle]

I would like the ai to have good aim when they shoot at my friend

[hushed elk]

pyson you dont need a mod to incresse raid times

[severe spindle]

Tell me

What do I change in the files

Show me your wisdom

[spring fable]

id love for the ai to go for head face less often

[severe spindle]

Wisdom Man strikes again

[hushed elk]

its very annoying to change as it per map

but you set it to what ever you want

[severe spindle]

I may just want to double it everywhere

[hushed elk]

fair

[spring fable]

like i had a fight on interchange where basically i was attacking a dude from behind who was fighting another pmc ai
shot him with the remington, he made a 36 and gave me a onetap
would be nice if reaction firing ai would go for the body instead

[severe spindle]

Having the raids be twice as long is long enough for me to play at my own passive pace while not too long for it to become a slog

[hushed elk]

ok so what you have to do is

on aki at least

Aki_Data\Server\database\locations\interchange

and open the base.json

[severe spindle]

I see

[hushed elk]

also im reaching the point were the more i play spt with realism
the less im enjoying realism

[severe spindle]

[hushed elk]

ammo changes while good

are too regarded to use as they are

and im not going to sit there and edit all HP rounds

also the ttk with realism is just too high

even against the player

ok so

https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/771-custom-raid-times/

this one is updated

[brittle sinew]

SVM does that

To an extent, you can add time to the existing raid timers

[hushed elk]

while yes

theres some issues with the timed extracts for some reason

[brittle sinew]

That's true, the car is rarely there

[hushed elk]

so the mod i posted "fixes" those issues

not sure havent used it

[winged mica]

I always have the all extract unlock plugin turned on

[brittle sinew]

I don't, I like the uncertainty
It's the tradeoff for the extract being closer

Why would I ever use crossroads if RUAF roadblock would always be open?

[vivid dawn]

You can also turn all exits open except for situational ones.

Thats what i did

Cause as you say situational ones shouldnt be always open

[winged mica]

I like how Customs has 2 Exfil on the same road

And they are both situational

[soft coral]

https://youtube.com/shorts/y8-EUmL4bfI?si=VHppUyp3nAR_8RGA

@stark torrent

reminder that you still play this shit

[wintry ridge]

woooooahhh its almost as if irl armor still has gaps in it

[soft coral]

tarkov is not realistic

never was

I'm simply tickling his pickle and having fun

[severe spindle]

But the armor does show you which areas it protects, and guess what
The dude was killed by a head; neck shot
His armor does not protect his neck

[soft coral]

crazy

[severe spindle]

When I was killed by a head, neck or head, jaw shots I didn't go on a rant about "oh my god the armor in this game sucks ass" but rather I was like "oh yeah, that makes sense. annoying, but makes sense"

[winged mica]

9x18mm bounce go clean through heavy ballistic face mask

Yeh uh

Thats nice

[severe spindle]

I didn't wear a face mask

[winged mica]

I got it on scav loadout

Ran out get shot in the face by pistol rat

Very nice

[severe spindle]

Do you remember which mask was it

Because the one that scavs can spawn with is hardly a "heavy ballistic face mask"

The armor class it has is a whopping 1

So it will only protect your ugly face from hollow points and buckshot

[wintry ridge]

yeah

the shattered mask one is literally just kevlar lining on an airsoft mask

like maybe it'll stop birdshot

[hallow stream]

It looks cool doe

So i wear it

[wintry ridge]

[winged mica]

Ops Core Heavy Trooper

It is tier 2 so it should be good to stop a P Pgz

[severe spindle]

And you got it in a scav loadout in which twisted alternate dimension?

[winged mica]

Yeh I got it in scav loadout

[severe spindle]

Answer the question damn it

[winged mica]

It was before scav karma is a thing

[hushed elk]

face shields are only there to make shotguns even more worthless

[wintry ridge]

not really

9x18 will pen tier 2 most of the time depending on which ammo it is

[winged mica]

P

[spring fable]

id argue for the pricetag of a shotgun and a bit of buckshot its crazy what they can do

in that sense id say the shotguns the problem, not the face shields

[hushed elk]

well thats the only thing they are affecting really

like even a pm goes through mostface shields

there is that one face shield that is br3

and ofc the killa mask

which is 5 or 4?

[winged mica]

I thought Tagilla masks were going to be banger

Get 1 tap by PMC as I ran away from Tagilla body

[spring fable]

there are some in his pool that are quite bad iirc

[winged mica]

I wear the Obei one

[spring fable]

you mean the steel one?

btw. oyu answered yourself when you said run away
guess which part is not protected by your mask

hint

[hushed elk]

[winged mica]

Nah

Got head eye

So its not the nape

[spring fable]

head eye from behind?

[winged mica]

Idk

Just head eye

The worst mod? No no no

Touhou soundtrack mods

Cluttering up the page

[ancient marsh]

deadass just realized Quandale Dingle is NBA Youngboy

[winged mica]

everything has to have Touhou

[brittle sinew]

Looks at eastern european hardcore shooter game "This could use anime tracks"

Brother in Christ, open your preferred music player. I don't need your music cluttering my page

[native crypt]

I wish that the hub had a block feature just because of that guy

[brittle sinew]

Big agree

A ban feature, no one wants that guy

[zenith pollen]

Big agree

[zenith pollen]

Fr

[white void]

that guy is so fucking annoying

get your shitty anime music off my fucking 7 pages of mods

[next temple]

Bro did that mf actually make 7 pages of touhou mods

[white void]

something like that

i remember scrolling through tryna find new mods

went through a multitude of pages and there was his shitty mods on every page

[next temple]

He probably looks like the most stereotypical reddit mod/4Chan /b/ user

[white void]

lets see how quickly i find his mods

if i go on the spt website rn

[next temple]

Why combo EFT and Touhou

If you want anime add actually good shit

Where are my Berserk patches for the vest?

[brittle sinew]

I don't understand why music

If you want music, why not just open your music player?

Why do you have to integrate it in the game and upload it to the world

[next temple]

He probably just learned how to integrate custom music and does only that

[native crypt]

Because other people just absolutely have to see his terrible taste in music

[white void]

so far it seems the shitty music mods have been replaced with furry traders

[next temple]

[brittle sinew]

Or AI traders

[next temple]

EFT is dead and we killed it

After Nikita chopped its legs off with an axe

[brittle sinew]

"broo the new trader icons look so cool" Meanwhile Therapist looks like a porn actress

[white void]

never fucking mind

[next temple]

[white void]

instead of one or the other

its now both furry icons and shitty anime music

[next temple]

SPT goon slop

Mods, hogtie him and have him boiled in a vat of shit

Hate that guy fr

[white void]

[next temple]

Force him to recreate the septic tank man video

[native crypt]

The somersault guy?

[next temple]

I think

[native crypt]

Yes

[next temple]

He literally was in a rubber suit and a balaclava swimming in shit

[native crypt]

Sounds about right

[next temple]

And it wasnt even sealed fully

He had gardening gloves on

[brittle sinew]

Where is this "Junko space mommy" I need to have a "chat" with him

[white void]

first page of spt mods

thats where

[brittle sinew]

I hope he has a discord account

[native crypt]

Half tempted to email one one of the mods for the spt mod hub to see if I can get a blacklist function

[white void]

do it

[native crypt]

Would give 5 bucks not to see that junk

iirc its a trader that is connected to Arena content too.

So it will probably some 4th currency you get via playing and performing in Arena

CRACKHOUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Who tf is Ref

What happened to ukrainian slur guy?

[frosty basalt]

didnt loot tags?

[hallow stream]

I cant wait to lose this AK

[severe spindle]

Insure it

[hallow stream]

I did

not that will stop the fuckers from stripping it

[spring fable]

if you like it so much make a preset so you can build a new one in seconds

[severe spindle]

I always took great joy in not receiving my frankenstein's monsters back from insurance, because that meant that some poor regard thought those were good weapons and took them

[hallow stream]

yea I did make a preset

also this is what the AI did to my insured gun before

[severe spindle]

I don't see a problem

You got the gun back

In functional state

That's a win

[hallow stream]

god bless scorpion

[grand eagle]

[frozen olive]

Yeah you should never do that lmao

[hallow stream]

LOL MY GUN GOT DUPED

[vivid dawn]

Nice Live bug.

VIOLET KEYCARD

I was broke af b4 that btw

[severe spindle]

My magnum opus (WIP)

[pseudo storm]

Any other stocks you gonna apply to the build?

[severe spindle]

Yes, I want the whole gun to have a nice grey color

[pseudo storm]

neat

[real solstice]

Ligma Secure Container when?

[frosty basalt]

They said they’ll add the next container After the dragon container

[ancient marsh]

anyone elses FPS got bad after the update?

How bad is it for you?

[ancient marsh]

i was getting good fps on customs and woods before

not anymore

i lost like 20 fps it feels

[pseudo storm]

damn

[wintry ridge]

that's bad

[ancient marsh]

bad dragon container

[wintry ridge]

[ancient marsh]

1 and a half mags and this shit jams

good to know 9x39 is still dead

:)

[pastel palm]

i pray for your ak to be lost dw

[stark torrent]

Yeah the VSS feels nice to shoot but for a very short time

[ancient marsh]

What a dogass build

Your death is in my prayers

[ancient marsh]

Both because sp-6 doesn’t exist

And because the gun explodes past one mag

Val and vss are generally dogshit guns

Good ammo hard to get

Mags are 45k each

Most you get is 30 rounders for 900 rpm is gone quickly

Gun burns through durability super quick, and jams quicker

It’s expensive to get at 100% dura

[vivid dawn]

Get lucky in a marked room

But overall it isnt worth yep

[ancient marsh]

Still costs 150k

Cause you can just sell it

[vivid dawn]

How does something that i get for free cost me 150k

If you got Money issues in Tarkov you are either bad or got a really big money management issue

[ancient marsh]

Opportunity cost

Dingus

[vivid dawn]

Dafuq

[ancient marsh]

Before the no fir event, if you get a red keycard, and brought it into raid instead of selling it

You insta lost like 60 mil

Cause you could have just sold it

[vivid dawn]

Yeah but thats aomething you find and usualy just sell

[ancient marsh]

Same applies to guns

[vivid dawn]

But a 150k gun is like nothing

[ancient marsh]

That vss is 150k

If you use it or not

[vivid dawn]

150k rubles is nothing

[ancient marsh]

That doesn’t matter for my argument

It’s not free

[vivid dawn]

The comparison of 60 mil vs 150k is the equivalent of a gold bar and a rotten apple

It is free

Lol

You dont lose any money
