Greed blinds all

[glacial stag]

[warm echo]

Would be dishonoring my fellow ratmen if I didn’t

[unborn thistle]

I loik it tho, doesn't disturb perspective when aiming. I like it simple

[glacial stag]

yeye responded to the wrong msg

[warm echo]

[fallen cloak]

the illusion of choice

[stark torrent]

go without faceshield > get head eyes by a shitty 9x19 ammo

go with altyn faceshield > get head eyes by some big dick top tier ammo

truly illusion of choice

[soft coral]

so thats why i say

why waste money

when shotgun + flechette do trick

is simple

and ez

[stark torrent]

cause its fun using other guns than shotgun and flechette

i die anyway

[glacial stag]

as long as i die looking good its worth it

[unborn thistle]

Unlike you Ivan we give importance to look good

[soft coral]

shut up

[unborn thistle]

What are you gonna do with that money if not to spend it

Smh not even gonna give his children

[soft coral]

yeah]

its mine

i licked it

[warm echo]

Legend tells of the old miser who lives deep in Woods. Counting his rubles

[unborn thistle]

And lost half of them in the wind

Woods kinda has strong winds

[south bough]

Tarkov

Is

cbt

with extra steps

[unborn thistle]

[soft coral]

I mean he's not wrong

[surreal herald]

Cross Browser Testing remains indeed an important step in development, especially given the increasing number of blocks and barriers one may encounter these days when selling a game from where they sell it from

but Cross Browser Testing with added informational warfare seems indeed like a good measure of what tarkov is ^^

[unborn thistle]

"Cross Browser testing is a type of non-functional testing that lets you check whether your website works as intended when accessed through: Different Browser-OS combinations i.e., on popular browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari—on any of the popular operating systems like Windows, macOS, iOS and Android."

Context?

[surreal herald]

just using the letters CBT to provide with an alternative reading of the same letters. I think the initial meaning was cognitive behavioral therapy.

[unborn thistle]

I think the CBT here was pointing out to cock and ball torture

[surreal herald]

yeah, that's cognitive behavioral therapy

[unborn thistle]

Therapy for sure

[surreal herald]

I mean Tarkovsky certainly was on an artistic redeeming path for the popular soul's hopes and relationship to reality, that's for sure

as much as the current game wants you to believe it's about "americans fighting russians in ukraine" 😂

nope, it's just russians (then soviets in fact) losing their mind in the woods because their government went mad.

[unborn thistle]

Don't know the actual lore but true, that is fucked up shit and some proxy war went on ahead and became a bigger thing.

[surreal herald]

I like to mention the movie & books because it's context we actually need to get what's going on rn

in short the book and movie are about 'reality breaking', the anomalies represent that, but you know, it's psychological, these men deal with a breaking reality philosophically

and yeah the narratives in tarkov 'the game' right now.. don't really convey that anymore.

"A Historical Analysis of the Films of Andrei Tarkovsky in Relation to the Post-Thaw Soviet Moment"

https://film-cred.com/stalker-searching-for-meaning-in-tarkovskys-philosophical-maze/

"Much like the rest of his work, Stalker is a hypnotizing dystopian tale that stares right into the abyss and delves into the depths of the human psyche; a film that evokes intellectual artistry and perhaps impenetrable understanding as well. From a religious parable to an anti-Soviet manifesto, the movie still opens up to new readings more than four decades removed from its release, and is best understood if seen through the lens of Tarkovsky’s spiritual malaise."

Mind you, religion was illegal.

[warm echo]

Offline co-op finally

Now I can test out to find data on weapons and armors myself

[surreal herald]

wow offline coop!

(secretly hoping they actually flesh out singleplayer)

[unborn thistle]

They actually have to work on AI now but it's not gonna save anything character related so welp

Nice for teaching people around

Also, worth to mention that it's for EOD players only, people who join also have to own that.

Because they don't want everyone to go offline mod yet.

[warm echo]

Pog I can use it

[glacial stag]

pog i cant

eod seems more enticing now that arena got an actual trailer tho

but then again its fun suffering with a 2x2 prison pocket and what feels like an even smaller stash size

[unborn thistle]

Welp, everything is object to change. Like the guy says, let's see how they balance things.

[warm echo]

I’m willing to believe they’ll release offline to everyone tbh

Seems kinda daft to limit it to EOD

Sounds like it would cause more trouble than good

[unborn thistle]

Why

They wanna squeeze more money and don't wanna waste servers on standard owners

[warm echo]

only time will tell

im looking for someone to........

play on eu with

[unborn thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-crying-man-black-guy-crying-black-man-crying-gif-21786839

[white lynx]

holy shit

next (i think) update will also help nvidia gpus

insane fucking fps boost

wtf

wait no

[unborn thistle]

Game already has FSR right?

[white lynx]

its already here

nvm

[unborn thistle]

Might be FSR 2

[white lynx]

no its the dlss

in settings

[unborn thistle]

Yes I know, DLSS is already in and FSR also in but it's 1.0, FSR 2.0 is more equivalent with DLSS and GTX 1000 users also can use it.

[white lynx]

too bad im on amd

[unborn thistle]

...

I give up

[white lynx]

what

[unborn thistle]

FSR is AMD tech, it's open source, that's why almost everything can use it.

[white lynx]

oh

[unborn thistle]

You dingle

[white lynx]

can any amd card use it?

[unborn thistle]

Even intel APU's can use it

Which is onboard GPU

[white lynx]

is it in the settings? i only see dlss and some nvidia stuff

[unborn thistle]

Though it's not recommended because it needs some computing power, you might just lose fps doing it lmao

Then FSR is not in therer

I'm remembering wrong

[white lynx]

shrug

idk

i can run the game, way better than i could with my i 870 thats for sure

but im still seeking some more performance in bigger maps

customs i think i can run like

stable 60, maybe?

[unborn thistle]

Yikes, FSR later but it's gonna be 1.0

If you use it on 1080p ANYWAYS, you gonna be looking at shitty graphics

It's meant for 1440 and above.

Especially 4k

[white lynx]

rip bozo

1080p here

[unborn thistle]

At least FSR 2.0 is needed anyway. 1.0 is ehhhhh

Just like DLSS 1.0

[white lynx]

still something

max i can sell it for is like 102k

rub

[white lynx]

cool scav run

[stark torrent]

haha nerf gun shotgun , where is the FLIR

ggs tho , alot for a scav run

[white lynx]

factory too lol

that saiga and those powermags are full of ap slugs

ez loot transfer

if only i can get to bring out that saiga as a pmc

im still sort of scared of losing my shit cuz i dont have a big stash

and i cant keep TOO much loot in there

[unborn thistle]

Tarkov effect yeah, *I'm looting all this weapons and armor but should I wear them in PMC runs or just bloat my stash *

[white lynx]

cant have shit with this small stash size man

thats why im contemplating a lot whether i should take them for a run as a pmc or not

[stark torrent]

imo u should start cause wipe is around the corner anyway

[white lynx]

ye ik

[stark torrent]

chances are u wont even get to lose all ur stuff im raid before the game resets

[unborn thistle]

Yeah that too

[white lynx]

but next wipe i actually wanna start playing a lot and making progress

[unborn thistle]

That's the dream

[stark torrent]

u know how it is , u are afraid to bring out a very good gun until u bring it and kill alot of people with it in 1 raid

[white lynx]

i play this game with insanely big breaks between so i just forget everything, legit

[stark torrent]

then u see how good it is

and how good is to use it

xD

[white lynx]

this is why im fucking dogshit

(not including shooting people and aiming good)

[unborn thistle]

If you don't feel confident about how gun operates, do an offline factory run, fast action.

[white lynx]

IF that happens......

because its super late into the wipe and against my stuff, im just cannon fodder

[unborn thistle]

I do play the same, I go for 2 rounds, plan things ahead, then organize my stash for couple mins, lookingood.jpg then quit the game for couple days

[white lynx]

i usually stop playing it because theres too much i cant comprehend after coming back from a big break and theres fuckin NOBODY i can play with

thats why im planning to start fr once the wipe hits

[unborn thistle]

Same, never gone in with randos either, maybe give it a shot?

[white lynx]

not too fond of randos

[unborn thistle]

Welp, didn't play with them before so I wouldn't know.

[glacial stag]

Tarkov solo is mind numbing to me atleast xd

[unborn thistle]

Is that a good thing?

[glacial stag]

Nah

[unborn thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/mmmm-hmmm-the-office-drink-gif-13942603

[stark torrent]

i mean , from my experience this wipe , only 40% of the players i encountered were solo

most were at least duo squads, which makes it hard to win as a solo yourself

meeting a 5 man in D2 at 2 am kek fucking w

i thought they were raiders

[glacial stag]

The d2 incident

But ye playing tarkov solo isnt really an option for me. Going as a duo or trio really enhances my enjoyment of the game

Now as a 5 man stuff starts getting weird again

[unborn thistle]

You expect orgy but all that happens is one of you drop a nade at your feet.

[glacial stag]

Well usually it isnt a nade but your friends most impressive flick yet

Sadly it results in a 7.62 bp sized hole in my head

[stark torrent]

i played 5 men , it's very hard , it works the best if everyone just splits up and holds different angles of the map

if u all go togheter , there is a shitshow 90% of the time

[glacial stag]

Yeah . Thats the beauty of it

[unborn thistle]

Unless you 100% sure how who look like which is really hard

[stark torrent]

i mean going 5 man with shotguns or impact nades its always fun i guess

wearing the UN helmet or smth

so u dont teamkill

at least try not to

xD

[unborn thistle]

Yeah, armbands are really hit and miss

[stark torrent]

yeah , the reasoning of good players was , if u had time to see the armband , u are already dead or killed the guy

[glacial stag]

Ive found that everyone wearing a pilgrim has helped

[unborn thistle]

In most scenerios and places you visit, it's pretty dark to notice an armband.

[glacial stag]

But the ppl i play with usually are experienced enough to notice what gear you are wearing

[stark torrent]

that is ok , but it also helps being a pink target for snipers i guess xD

i started feeling mutants by sound now

the moment i hear a mk18 or mutant

we rushing in boys

do or die

[glacial stag]

At the start of a wipe and last wipe i had like 8 friends who played tarkov actively so i got alot of experince from running 5 mans

I mean mk18 is a dinnerbell

[unborn thistle]

Just like boss bodyguards

Weapon sound nearby

Let's rush it

Whilst boss screaming their lungs out

[white lynx]

thats a lot

i wish it was the same for me

[glacial stag]

Ye too much one might say

But i got 3 ppl i regularly play with rn

[white lynx]

and i only got myself

[glacial stag]

[stark torrent]

oy yo GRANADA

proceeds to throw grenade like a professional baseball player directly at your face

[unborn thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-it-just-works-bethesda-this-all-just-works-gif-20598651

[warm echo]

I rat 🐀 80% of the time

And the other 20% is spent taking the ppsh with a pilgrim of drum mags with the boys

[hazy niche]

Currently waiting for next wipe. Sitting on 550m but end game is kinda meh to me

[warm echo]

Yup

[crystal musk]

https://streamable.com/nce12s

[blazing acorn]

Especially with current world event

[white lynx]

illegal substances

[full rose]

Avg fudd build but you ran out of money for the Chinese collimater sight

[soft coral]

get the FBI on the line

this man needs to be stopped

[white lynx]

its not mine so its all good

[austere mango]

he is just advertising

[soft coral]

advertising what

his non superior gun smiting skills

[white lynx]

yes

[austere mango]

the illegal substances

[soft coral]

yes

[white lynx]

idk why someone would make that

[soft coral]

because tarkov

[white lynx]

its still usable tho.........

[soft coral]

thats a solid reason imo

[keen bear]

cheap and effective if you can tap fast enough

maybe not the sights

the sights could use a revamp

[crystal musk]

https://youtu.be/aR7gBhdbh2I

[white lynx]

[soft coral]

well its 9x19

so

eh

[keen bear]

bitch is a goddamn pistol with extra steps at this point lmao

oh nvm the stock is folded

thought someone removed the stock lol

[white lynx]

yeah i was boutta type "and before you assume, the stock is folded"

right after posting the pic

[keen bear]

hahaha

[white lynx]

but i said u guys are clever enough to realize

so i didnt type it

[white lynx]

im a small stash loser, so i gotta improvise

[keen bear]

i just typed before i looked closely

[keen bear]

i feel you bruv, same

[white lynx]

tf

i just did a quick factory run with a pistol

and met this one scav

i was legit NEXT to him

i click Y on him: "hey, wanna cooperate?" and he does nothing, then when i get up and approach him, he turns towards me and shoots me in the chest with an sks

luckily i survived (somehow, i didnt even have any armor) and i killed him

idk how we were like 2 meters apart and he didnt give a shit

[naive marlin]

bad boolats

[white lynx]

sure, he did almost black it out but i had a bandage to stop the bleeding

still tho

2 meter shot in the chest from an opsks?

dont remember what bullets he was using tho

[white lynx]

thank god i insured these

[white lynx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN5SSa4r-bg

finally

[stark torrent]

Ump is clutch , the supressor is double the gun value

[white lynx]

i lost it on customs

fucking dog camping

found a g28 too

ffs

i killed like 2 doods then died with the g28 in hand to some dumbass camper

[glacial stag]

Ah ye the crounch

When that was shown live chat really liked the typo

[white lynx]

crounch

[warm echo]

Me ol’ bones go crounch when I crounch

[hazy niche]

Every time I bend over

[white lynx]

bro

i lost 2 reserve money runs to raiders

first one i did wasnt so successful, i got like 200k-ish off the first one

couldve been much better

[warm echo]

Finding ratting spots that aren’t super well known and they still work

Or they’re known but people usually let there guard down more often

[unborn thistle]

Wank spots for Ratman confirmed

[warm echo]

Wouldn’t be any other way

[white lynx]

im getting camped out by raiders

not pmcs

(on reserve)

[hazy niche]

Learn woods loot lol

I've made so much running woods, including the occasional purple card and RR drop from the boss

[soft coral]

reserve issue

[sleek dirge]

how would you guys evaluate tarkov right now? is it a good game for say a loner who likes to drop in and drop out to play when I have time?

[white lynx]

definitely get started with the help of other people

i do NOT recommend blind solo

other than that its a good game for some

[sleek dirge]

what's the barrier if I solo

[white lynx]

painful and miserable, imo the closest you can get to realism (in...most aspects)

[white lynx]

idk

its really hard

you dont know what to do

[sleek dirge]

maybe practice with bots and watch youtube guides before actual multiplayer?

[white lynx]

practicing with bots would only be aim and the recoil of guns etc

[unborn thistle]

You might also wanna visit some YT videos, there are great info but careful ıf it's up to date. Game gets major changes every now and then

[white lynx]

also that

but you wont instantly know exactly what to do or become a good player

so i HIGHLY recommend playing this game with other, more experienced blokes

youll get used to it much quicker that way

[unborn thistle]

Yeye, experience is the best teacher about Tarkov. Don't hold back yourself about doing the right thing. You'll fuck up a lot before learning the ropes

[white lynx]

and learning (at least maps) would just be running them over and over and over and over

[sleek dirge]

any particular pain points with the game? like is it grindy or the meta is weird etc. ?

[white lynx]

@sleek dirge one thing that really helped me to slightly lose gear fear and also become more confident is

playing with a small stash because that way, if you get good runs, ull have it full of guns, armor, backpack, rigs, etc

[unborn thistle]

There are official teachers(sherpas) who can teach you different things but they work on irl money i guess

[white lynx]

which means to actually progress u gotta use those

[white lynx]

it is grindy

imo yes

very

as i said its probs the closest you can get to realism

its hardcore

[unborn thistle]

Fear of losing gear is the hardest thing to overcome

[white lynx]

and the second tip is just

"you miss 100% of the shots you dont take"

see this one as you will, but i think theres only one way to understand it

you make the opportunities, dont be afraid, be confident and sure on yourself

[unborn thistle]

Go out and suffer

[white lynx]

dont just instantly crouch the moment you hear footsteps

well...depends

on factory its gonna be ALL footsteps

[unborn thistle]

If you wanna be a rat do it, we got Ratman over here, one of the best

[white lynx]

yo mayo

[unborn thistle]

You can also chad up

Alo

[white lynx]

you know that one place in reserve near where the train stops?

theres a smaller building there with one of those weird freaky ritual rooms

[unborn thistle]

I suck at reserve

[white lynx]

oh

kk

[unborn thistle]

Yeye

I got it

[white lynx]

yeah that small building, how do you get to there again? i completely forgot the layout of reserve

[sleek dirge]

is playing with bots by myself in single player satisfactory?

[unborn thistle]

Yeah, I suck at reserve lmao

[white lynx]

i mostly start my money runs by going to the crashed heli and looting 2 buildings + the basement area of one of em

then i usually go to that building cuz the freaky ritual room is fuckin STACKED

[unborn thistle]

It doesn't save progression on offline

[white lynx]

but i forgor where the building is

💀

[unborn thistle]

Reserve is big I have no idea

[white lynx]

ill have to speak to the homie who i stole the route from

high mortality rate but insane rewards

you go through like 4-5 places raiders can spawn in

[unborn thistle]

And if you don't die returning to exfil

[sleek dirge]

what prevents me from playing as scav and losing no gear?

[white lynx]

when im alone i always try using the train extract, even if theres high chances of me receiving a bullet to the head

[unborn thistle]

Scav doesn't progress your own account

[white lynx]

i cant be arsed with descent cuz i got no ice pick and rope

scav lands is gg i dont give a shit

manhole i forgot where tf that is

and my money run always ends near where the train stops anyway, so its the most convenient

[unborn thistle]

And you won't have your secure storage with you

[white lynx]

btw delerik

if youve got the money to spend, buy a better edition, not standard

[unborn thistle]

And if you shoot up another scav, your scav karma will go lower

[white lynx]

sure, more expensive but youll thank me later

im thinking of upgrading to edge of darkness rn

cuz its on big sale

75 euros to upgrade from my edition too

i just dont know if my family will kill me for wanting/buying it

[unborn thistle]

That's expensive ugh

[naive marlin]

Shoreline scav runs lessgo

[sleek dirge]

and don't you get money and gear?

[white lynx]

if you extract

[unborn thistle]

What you got out of your extract sure

But other than that, no skill or exp progression

Snd there's cool down for another scav run depending on your karma

There's just too much shit to discuss about mechanics

[white lynx]

so thats why my scavs take 30 mins to cool down

i forgot

[naive marlin]

[unborn thistle]

[white lynx]

ngl me and fence arent on the best terms rn

dont judge

[sleek dirge]

30 minutes ain't much

[naive marlin]

Bro

[sleek dirge]

I thought you could only play once a day or sth

[naive marlin]

You kill scavbro's on sight ?

[white lynx]

used to

idfk why i did that

[naive marlin]

Man

[white lynx]

i saw everyone except for my premade teammates as an enemy

[sleek dirge]

what is scav karma

[white lynx]

even if scav

[naive marlin]

Imagine not walking up to fellow scav and doin the jig

[white lynx]

i do it now

[unborn thistle]

Imagine not wiggle

[white lynx]

with -1.26 theyre still friendly i guess

[sleek dirge]

wait now I read you definitely have to play as a team instead of solo?

[white lynx]

nope

you can play solo

[unborn thistle]

They don't trust you, they won't follow you and no wiggles. Also bosses will be killing you at that karma

[white lynx]

i did get like 1 or 2 wiggles back on lighthouse

[naive marlin]

There is a lot of scav's that are bots, but you can increase your scav karma enough to recruit them right?

[unborn thistle]

Not really recruit

[naive marlin]

Ah

[unborn thistle]

They can only follow you so much as they have hard parameters to follow

But at max karma, you're like a boss to them

[naive marlin]

[unborn thistle]

But they won't roam around the map

Only raiders roam

Tarkov AI is interesting

They are not the stupidest but choose to be tbh because of difficulty, other than that, their vision is almost like yours, senses. They just can see through fog and rain.

[white lynx]

me when the train didnt start yet and im near the area its originally in

i get attacked by a raider

and shoot once

that happened once cuz there was this dog in a bush i didnt see so i could sneak past

i got rushed by like 5 raiders at once

or more

[naive marlin]

[unborn thistle]

[white lynx]

thats how i lost a run

[unborn thistle]

You gotta know when to retreat

Ofc there's one also behind you so ehhhhh

[warm echo]

your going to get 2-4 manned and start to wonder why you are playing

The solution to all problems ever

is to not strain and sweat for all the nice goodies you will need for base and shiny guns

but to let the meatheads do that for you

[sleek dirge]

play as scav and rat the whole game?

also there is a global stock for bullets for each trader

why is it even in the game? to make people wait?

[warm echo]

you can go hog wild when you scav if you want

but as pmc

we go sneaky breeki

nothing matters when your scav

stress freee

[white lynx]

@warm echo all you do is rat, i understand?

[warm echo]

we do a little trollin at interchange under trucks and such

[white lynx]

what server u on

[warm echo]

whatever server East Cost Amerika is on

[white lynx]

as long as its more in the east it should be ok

but check the server ur on

[crystal musk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/341068888232034306/985664295666864298/exit_camped.webm

i got exit camped by a damn AI scav

• thought my weapon was on full auto when it wasn't

and to add insult to injury he leg meta'd me with magnum buckshot while i was wearing t5

they really are evolving

[white lynx]

using stairs against scavs be like

he just one shot you in the fuckin legs

if flat surface he might have hit you in the chest

that shit bounces right off

[crystal musk]

yep

[hybrid cloak]

Yeah they can sit in that stairway sometimes, but only like, once in a blue moon

It's probably a thing where they saw a player and their AI told them to take cover in there

'Cause I've never seen them patrol down there

[stark torrent]

buckshot scav is satan

[crystal musk]

some days I really wish Tarkov had mutants and stuff in it

mix things up to have enemies that aren't just other guys with guns
and give some more use cases for weapons and ammo that aren't that practical in pvp

[stark torrent]

that would be their next game

russia 2028

whenver it comes out tho.....fuck knows

[unborn thistle]

2038

[pine solstice]

If you think they aren't reusing like 100% of existing tarkov assets for it, you'd be crazy haha. They basically just need some new maps, some new quests and drop kick it out the door

[stark torrent]

they even said they want it to play like tarkov, mechanics included , but they also have to script something they kinda suck at , and thats AI

yeah they have tarkov as a basis, but they still gotta work for the new game, copy-pasting shit wont do it

i think Streets of Tarkov will act as a test for their new open world game, as they kept saying Streets will be revolutionary in terms of map design

it shall be seen

[warm echo]

Region: USA

[white lynx]

yes what server exactly

actually nvm i dont think it would matter

[soft coral]

Tarkov rain ambience is really nice

who knew one of the most stressfull shooter games can be so relaxing

[manic junco]

tarkov relaxing ? there are raids after which i need to take a walk to chill

[white lynx]

lost an mdr to a FOKIN SCRUB

in reserve

piece of shit just crab walked like 50 meters to get to me

[glacial stag]

well better to lose it than let it rot in your stash this late into wipe

[white lynx]

fully kitted out mdr too

rn im just camping the fuck out of hermetic in reserve

went for another run

hoping some dumbass will turn the power on

[glacial stag]

idk i just went out for a few night raids on woods and lighthouse

gigadead raids

[white lynx]

im dead

i cant fucking believe this

i forgot to check my hunger and thirst

died to fatigue

at least i killed a lot of scavs

gotta get that xp up amiright?

was...not fun shooting scavs while fatigued tho, and with my screen going 2049848292002 shades of black

[unborn thistle]

first tip, don't die

[hazy niche]

Lol that's it?

[white lynx]

minus the armor and backpack

[hazy niche]

Eh it's just an mdr. I've lost M1s with REAP IR and FLIRs

During the big sale event I ended up killing a bunch of people with thermals too lol. It was a cycle of losing a thermal dmr and having it replaced the next raid

[soft coral]

first mistake: playing reserve

and bringing in good gear

[sonic vapor]

but chadding in the bunker 💀

[soft coral]

das cringe

[white lynx]

nah man

i killed a T4-T5 gigachad in the bunker with stock buckshot

he had the mdr

i was just doing casual loot runs

most of server showed up

[soft coral]

still cringe

reserve cringe fest

[glacial stag]

the rat fears late wipe reserve

[stark torrent]

Yesterday i killed 4 pmcs on lighthouse with a flir , had 2 other flirs on me and i got extract camped by the 5th

fuck his mom , ggs

[white lynx]

scope was pretty valuable tho

had a suppressor too

[stark torrent]

reserve is the best map this wipe

labs is cheater fest

impact nades my beloved

[soft coral]

fuck reserve

[white lynx]

i just do loot runs there

i need de money

[warm echo]

Rat reserving is heaven

[white lynx]

if i get lucky i can get out with more than 500k per run

[warm echo]

Lost count how many times I’ve come into a massive scuffle with the last guy limping away

[white lynx]

or more

[warm echo]

Fat looties

[white lynx]

probably more than 500k

[warm echo]

Scav night reserve is so calm and peacefull

Fatty loot runs

[white lynx]

night isnt my thing

i dont have nvgs or thermals

or nv scopes

[warm echo]

Dont need em

[white lynx]

well its true i can enable night mode for my monitor and also turn up gamma through tarkov/monitor/amd

but

i wouldnt say it feels like cheating because i love using cheesy things in tarkov

but

idk

[warm echo]

Nah more like why would I risk losing something I can sell for massive profit

[white lynx]

with the amount of shit that i can customize, i am able to turn tarkov 3am into a makeshift flashbang

gonna see like it would be day, just not the lightning part

[unborn thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-storm-lightning-cloudy-gif-17607709

[woeful star]

I have played this game 3 times and my mental health declined fiercely

[unborn thistle]

That's Tarkov for you, a big socially mental test

[sullen linden]

Tarkov, game not supposed to be fun.

(But still is at the expense of your mental health)

[unborn thistle]

There's nothing like it and it hurts so right

[sonic vapor]

i cant wait until the wipe hits and everyone goes to play lighthouse so i can farm reserve the entire wipe

[stark torrent]

i will farm rogues with my scav and PMC for early guns and shit

tho the 3 new bosses will roam apparently

imagine having to do pocket watch quest as lvl 2 and u encounter the fucking big pipe and the boys

gg

[warm echo]

[stark torrent]

Pmc 1 : blrrugh gets headshot

Pmc 2 : step step step runs to cover

Another team of PMCs run up on opposite sides on the metal stair

Raiders : We got contact start spraying the wall

The guy that is trapped in the power room :

The other guy that is camping D2 with an impact nade :

[glacial stag]

And that other other guy camping the black cat tunnell from the other side with a sniper

Did that yesterday with a couple friends. Might share a clip when i get back home

[stark torrent]

also the only thing missing there is the hermetic alarm

[soft coral]

true

so true

man i've seen hell

the horrors ive been through down there

[unborn thistle]

Not sure if someone screaming in voip or alarn

[crystal musk]

hi I don't own this game but it's pretty nice to watch

recommend me some tacticool/slow playing streamer and or youtuber to waste time on plz

[tribal bolt]

no

find a better game

like EFP

[unborn thistle]

Good luck finding someone who plays like that

[white lynx]

find a better game

anything but tarkov

[unborn thistle]

There's s chinese bootleg

They literally stole the gun animations

[pine solstice]

Smoke, plus he used to try to team up with people and communicate with them in game using the in game voice lines long before VoIP was a thing.

Complete Chad, never rat

[crystal musk]

oh shit actual answers nice

[soft coral]

you've got nothing to loose in tarkov

the game eventually wipes

so yes

always chad

[white lynx]

why did you guys help him

being interested in tarkov is a burden by itself

i am cursed with the fact that i own this game

[naive marlin]

I am glad my friend got it for me half price and on a sale

[white lynx]

if u werent on ur servers id bother you 24/7 to play

just saying

[naive marlin]

[naive marlin]

Rip that guy

Oh

I see

W h o o p s

Poor wall

[white lynx]

is that finnish

[glacial stag]

the chad doesent expect the d2 extract defending late wipe

[glacial stag]

ye

[naive marlin]

Ok but

Are you shooting with 2 burst

Or did you hit the wall

[glacial stag]

accidentally shot again when going into cover

[naive marlin]

Aaaah

[warm echo]

HIt em with a rattack

[rugged stump]

I heard that getting into a game takes forever, is that true?

I know next to nothing about tarkov other than Gun porn

[pine solstice]

Depends. If it's an unpopular map, it can take a bit. If it's start of wipe, maps like customs can take a long time too. But expect anywhere from 2-5m.

[warm echo]

Rat salivating sounds

[glacial stag]

apparently pre wipe started

like 6 airdrops per raid

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521645013277474826/988368221285531769/Radar.jpg

and bsg posted this earlier

[white lynx]

@glacial stag ur finnish, arent u?

[glacial stag]

i mean

yeah

[white lynx]

dont u play on eu servers?

[glacial stag]

i just play with default server selection

which prolly puts me in eu servers yeah

[white lynx]

interested in playing?

[glacial stag]

ye sure

ive just kind of ran out of money since ive been just fucking around with friends waiting for wipe

got a few juicer kits left to spend before i go away on vacation tho

[white lynx]

reserve runs are always a thing

if you have the key to that one locked room

when you up to play?

[glacial stag]

ah nah if i want to run for money i go to nighttime woods or just lighthouse

[white lynx]

not my thing, i dont know both of those maps

[glacial stag]

got lucky with finding hillside house key a few months ago under wishing tree

[white lynx]

ive barely played at all this wipe

[glacial stag]

ye i missed the start of the wipe but played a good amount during mid wipe and early late wipe

now been just been waiting for a wipe for the past few months

but id be up to play rn. Dont have alot going on expect need to pack

[white lynx]

wanna vc?

[glacial stag]

yessir

[glacial stag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR7gBhdbh2I @white lynx

[crystal musk]

I watched some of those recommended YouTubers and this Smoke guy seems to be wallhacking?

[pine solstice]

You'd be the first I've ever heard to accuse him of so, including all my years unfortunately perusing tarks subreddit

Smokes pretty og

[unborn thistle]

Y'all wall cheaters

[rugged stump]

@sullen linden

[sullen linden]

Well Tarkov you can play with friends so you do have companions

Tarkov is a rage inducing game that will make you hate yourself and the game however you will eventually get the hang of it and after that most shooter games are a joke to you

[white lynx]

why the fuck does everyone want to play tarkov now

it is so frustrating

[sullen linden]

wipe soon

[white lynx]

i DONT recommend it

[sullen linden]

see what iam talking about?

[white lynx]

i dont recommend this curse upon mankind to any sentient being with a heartbeat

play the game at ur own risk

[warm echo]

Wipe hype so we can grind up the fresh meat

[sullen linden]

Like the game is nothing like what you see from content creator

[warm echo]

They wont see it coming

[rugged stump]

well why do you not reocmmend it

[sullen linden]

*breats in ks23 *

Your legs look so juicy right now

Gimme dem toes

[rugged stump]

thats true, Usually they upload their highlight reels and don't really post the bad stuff

[white lynx]

no its not about that lol

[rugged stump]

everytime i see shroud play, half the time its waiting for a match

[white lynx]

trust me, youtubers you see play have it way easier than you do

theyre highly more skilled, they actually have gear

[sullen linden]

Tarkov is the most toxic game because exfil camping and camping in general is a genuine tactic

[white lynx]

and streamers

[sullen linden]

general sam and aqua fps are an exception

They are dogshit

so their gameplay is legit

[rugged stump]

lmao

[warm echo]

[rugged stump]

so you recommend watching general sam and aqua for actual gameplay?

[warm echo]

Become one with the rat within you

[white lynx]

i dont recommend doing anything involving this game

it broke me

[sullen linden]

i love tarkov

[white lynx]

but then again i have 4k hours in league so idk

[rugged stump]

like honestly how

[sullen linden]

legit i shat brix playing that game

[warm echo]

At the end of the day it’s you or them rav

[rugged stump]

I have thousand hours in Dota and sometimes the matches are 1v9

[white lynx]

go ahead if u wanna, play it at ur own risk

[rugged stump]

wouldn't you just kill anyone on sight?

[white lynx]

i just warn

[rugged stump]

You are playing Russian gopnik simulator afterall

[white lynx]

it might not be what it looks like

thats how it happened to me

[sullen linden]

tbh

[warm echo]

Always unless your a scav on another scab

[sullen linden]

tarkov now is easier than it was before

[rugged stump]

well if you can, you got any stories?

[sullen linden]

cuz chads cant be roided out every raid

[rugged stump]

so i heard theres like a mechanic where you just take over a random scav right?

[sullen linden]

yea

like every 20 or 15 or 10 minutes

[white lynx]

talking about that

[sullen linden]

you can play as a random hobo with random gear

(sometimes you randomly get shit worth milions)

[rugged stump]

i guess thats what i've been seeing in some streams

[white lynx]

i reset my profile today cuz i was tired of my shit progress and playing miserable in late wipe and my first scav raid into factory i got gad analyzer and flash drive

idk whats with my luck but

they wont matter anyway cuz i wont be doing any quests

wipe is probs coming next week

[rugged stump]

so as a random scav, what is the objective?

just to escape or what do you do

[sullen linden]

you have quests now as a scav

well you loot stuff thats onthe map

kill pmcs

scavs usually are friendly to each other

[unborn thistle]

Scav objective is to wiggle

[sullen linden]

so unlike pmcs you've some friendlies

you can even ask the bots to follow you around

[rugged stump]

you mean 'Friendly"

[sullen linden]

""Friendly""

[rugged stump]

are they played by actual people or actual bots

[sullen linden]

they will betray you

both

[unborn thistle]

You need good scav karma for thst

[warm echo]

I will betray you

[sullen linden]

some bots have low karma req but it doesnt matter

[warm echo]

You got bad eggs that will tank karma to still your loot

[unborn thistle]

And they won't follow to other side of the map

[sullen linden]

also theres voipnow

[warm echo]

Or your going to have a newbie like you who is scared of everything new and will shoot you

When your scavin

[sullen linden]

i'll be honest man

[unborn thistle]

Middle fingering scav AI is best

[sullen linden]

every time i get shot after taking a break fromthis game

i jump inmy chair abit

[rugged stump]

so we've been talking about the SHIT reasons about tarkov

whats the good stuff

[unborn thistle]

Guns

[sullen linden]

You will feel insanely good once you actually extract with fat loot

you will feel like a mountain fell of you

[unborn thistle]

Until you die and lose it all

[sullen linden]

Essentialy tarkov is an immversive trauma sim

where you get rewarded by not being punished

[warm echo]

You play dark souls before?

[rugged stump]

yeh

[warm echo]

Liken it to this

You spend hours grinding a boss

You win and feel like god

[sullen linden]

Bosses actually are hard

(for a beginner)

[warm echo]

That’s what extracting or winning a big fight feels like

[rugged stump]

I've also heard some negative things about hit registration

[unborn thistle]

Rat speaks wisdom

[sullen linden]

hit reg is fine now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXSPuwW32_o

[warm echo]

Stack backpacks

[rugged stump]

https://youtu.be/2Dzj2kBgx0I

[pine solstice]

I have like 5k hours in this dumb game since 2017, I agree don't play tarkov lmao

[rugged stump]

Is there a reason why the barrel just moves up when you fire?

[unborn thistle]

Don't learn the game from Sam

[rugged stump]

seems so unatural, something i noticed

[sullen linden]

sam is a meme

[warm echo]

Worked for me

[sullen linden]

i've my most giga chad moment on video in this game

that was my peak

piss drunk

[pine solstice]

The barrel rises and then settles back down without any adjustment from you, it gets better as your skills go up, hence why people hate the no lifers and the streamers cuz their skills are all maxed and the bonuses are crazy

[sullen linden]

you could wait for arena

[rugged stump]

alright so if you die, you lose your gear

[sullen linden]

and just get tarkov arena

[rugged stump]

what happens if you have no more gear after sucking ass so much

[pine solstice]

Scav runs

[sullen linden]

you get free stuff

also scav runs

[rugged stump]

is that where you have to play "Scavs"

so scav runs are on a background timer right?

[sullen linden]

prapor actually hooks you up with a bit

[warm echo]

Be like Ivan and become a woodrat

[pine solstice]

Also naked runs are fine if you're broke af if you even somewhat know at least one map

[unborn thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/lol-twitch-rat-league-of-gif-19535828

[sullen linden]

Playing tarkov as a rat is like

normal mode in stalker

[pine solstice]

Loot a gun from a box and you're golden

[rugged stump]

I guess Stalker anomaly takes alot from Tarkov

[sullen linden]

fuck naked runs

get a mosin

[warm echo]

At least a TT

[sullen linden]

they ar echeap and nobody takes em

[warm echo]

Or a Mac and cheese

[sullen linden]

no dont use pistols

[pine solstice]

If you're broke as fuck the moist nugget is right out

[sullen linden]

fuck that dont listen

mosin

or the new gun

that they'll add for rat raids

[warm echo]

Your right

[sullen linden]

single shot 7.62x54r

[warm echo]

Toz106

[white lynx]

@rugged stump do you have gear fear

genuine gear fear

[warm echo]

[sullen linden]

Dude

toz 106

omg

[rugged stump]

lets say, I always hoard shit in stalker

[white lynx]

stalker is different

[rugged stump]

and seeing how this game works

[white lynx]

theres nothing about gear fear in stalker

[rugged stump]

I'll probably run cheap loadouts constantly

[white lynx]

lol

[pine solstice]

Gear earns you more gear

[sullen linden]

mosin is great

or the .366 ap

[rugged stump]

so another thing I've seen is there an auction house in this game?

[sullen linden]

like legit theres so many good cheap guns now

flea market

you've normal traders and flea market

but flea has been nerfed

[rugged stump]

so you are saying i can just play as a trader all day?

stonks?

[sullen linden]

not anymore

[rugged stump]

awww

[sullen linden]

to resell shit it needs to be found inraid

[rugged stump]

https://youtu.be/sHn5nfW3pNw

[sullen linden]

however you stonks if somebody sells like something for 15k but if you sell it to a vendor its 18k

also crafting is a thing

in tarkov

[white lynx]

if you wanna actually improve u gotta 1: lose gear fear 2: understand that better gear = better performance 3: be confident, you create the opportunities and you miss 100% of the shots u dont take

this is all my advice @rugged stump

[sullen linden]

in tarkov

you need to die

to get gud

[white lynx]

dying is all part of the learning process

[sullen linden]

I've a perfect video

[rugged stump]

ok

[white lynx]

sure sometimes its fine to be very passive and play safe but dont be a pussy

u wont learn that way

[sullen linden]

that you dont need to have meta weapons to kill chads

however i'am talking inthatvid and im angry so i wont link it xD

[rugged stump]

so server wipes are usually a good thing right? Everyone's on a even playing field?

[sullen linden]

yes

wiped tarkov is so good

everybody has shit gear

[pine solstice]

Yes and no, vets will still out play you most times

[sullen linden]

but thats normal

[pine solstice]

But the fights are more fun and ttk is a lot higher

[sullen linden]

man

[warm echo]

Wipe hype baybe

[sullen linden]

@pine solstice i will fight you in crackhouse

My Salewas MYYY

[rugged stump]

so if I buy the cheapest tier

[pine solstice]

Imma prolly skip this wipe

Too much tark

[rugged stump]

i can upgrade to a higher tier later right?

[sullen linden]

yea

[warm echo]

Ye

[sullen linden]

however theres one bad thing about tarkov

[warm echo]

Play the dirt cheap version

[sullen linden]

like genuinely bad

[rugged stump]

so any recommends on a starter gun

[pine solstice]

Doing the quests all over again for the billionth time fml

[warm echo]

See if you can’t take it

And go from there

[sullen linden]

you will have very little space to store shit

until you upgrade

( you can also upgrade your storage in game with ingame stuff)

[warm echo]

Run around ape shit with double barrel for fun times

[sullen linden]

but very expensive

honestly

[pine solstice]

Stash space is no big deal, neither is the butt hole. But the increased trader rep you start with is OP as fuck, especially with jaeger

[sullen linden]

sks, mosin, toz, double barrel shotty, mp153 are all great options

ok so let me explain

tldr

[rugged stump]

alright

[sullen linden]

theres basically standard and eod guys

eod guys have3 advantages

[rugged stump]

i also got another question. How is Escape from Pripyat different from Tarkov?

[sullen linden]

they have max storage space

[warm echo]

Best tip of all

[sullen linden]

in their hideout

they have a bigger secure container however its not the biggest anymore the biggest you get by actually playin g the game

at the very end

and they have .2 more rep than you for all traders

that .2 means that you've to do like two more quests to unluck trader levels

[pine solstice]

The rep is arguably the most OP imo

[warm echo]

Learn the map and you win half the game

[sullen linden]

idk they removed all cancer jaegertasks

[warm echo]

Saves you from people like me

And gives you better loot

[sullen linden]

imho theres only one really shitty task left in the game

[pine solstice]

It unlocks pk ll2 without doing a single quest from him and jaeger is waaaaay easier to level

[sullen linden]

ok theres two shit quests

the flash drives and tarkov shooter part 8

[pine solstice]

Way more than two hahaha but that'll change from person to person. See, flash drives are easy. Safes and woods tent. Shooter part 8 isn't bad either if you're willing to camp zb014

It's shitty but so is the quest, bush their gear if you feel bad about it

[sullen linden]

i mean

they removed the flashbang quest

now that was cancer

also back in the day punisher part.. 3? where you have to kill 25 scavs with the aksu

had to be done within two hours

now that was horrible

same with the bear kills for part 6

[warm echo]

Just need that quest overhaul

One day

Perhaps

[rugged stump]

does this game ever go on sale?

[sullen linden]

yea

[rugged stump]

should i just wait for that?'

[sullen linden]

hmm it could go on sale with this wipe

[rugged stump]

alright, I can finally play as a Russian PMC

[sullen linden]

however usually they give discounts during russian holidays

like 9 may

and christmas

yeah 9 may they gave 20% off

also

keep in mind that buying the game is funky cuz depending on where you live the taxes are big

cuz of xsolla

[pine solstice]

Do not and I repeat do not buy a key anywhere outside of bsg's site though

[sullen linden]

yeah and dont buy accounts

also there are sherpas

people that coach you

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa

[warm echo]

You can find discords that also sherpa

Much easier

[sullen linden]

true

@rugged stump before you buy the game watch videos explaining ammo types, healing and maps

to save you alotof pain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JTUQJOjDxI

[rugged stump]

Alright Ty

[rugged stump]

i like how people always say its insanely "complex" and all that shit, i guess this is for the COD audience and all that shit

[warm echo]

it is
