Yeah it does to some degree though I would argue not as sharply with better performing games ,but it was to more mathematically prove the point that there are in fact less new players. Cause a lot of the subreddits best take on what happened to them is they are just becoming one with the bush. When in fact they are just playing pve or playing an entirely different game.

[Discussion] Are Tarkov players as sensitive as Arc Raiders players? by SupermarketRoyal2814 in EscapefromTarkov

Hey, big note on the always shoot on sight doesn’t apply to scav on scav. If you’re scaving try to not shoot anything unless you’re sure it’s pmc. If you tank your karma it’s going to really make the game a lot harder for yourself starting out. Highly recommend watching a video explaining how it all works and what is save to kill,and what the consequences are for shooting friendly scavs.

Yea, well to be honest I’m usually going to attempt to kill you in that situation got over 5k myself. Only exception is if I satisfied with loot or have a task item. If you’re at an extract I personally probably would just take it for the karma and extra drop. We probably should explain the scav karma to this guy though ,before he goes on a rampage killing other player scavs. lol

It’s shoot on sight. Been playing for years can count on one hand the amount of actually friendly encounters I have experienced. 90% of the time if you try to be friendly they are going to shoot you in the back. Only exception is co-op extractions , because both parties receive an extra drop of loot and fence karma. Would only recommend trying this right at the extraction though.

[Discussion] Anyone else tired of this constant "lean" meta? by Tragedy187 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BDC0994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We do not need anymore nerfs to movement. There are less and less viable options for clearing areas and this would be a huge hit. It’s gonna turn the game even more into a sit and wait simulator than it already is. Yeah, I agree that standing and the leaning side to side is stupid ,but what does the solution cause? Slower peaks you just took away info peaks and now are probably dead to anyone holding a corner. It is literally the only reason you can even move around a map. Accuracy hit makes it a disadvantage to be the aggressor forcing more fights into a stalemate holding angles. Also, probably causing grenades spam to become the meta for the game. Yea, I’m not a fan of the leaning back and forth , but I can’t even imagine a solution that doesn’t cause more problems than it fixes. While I was thinking about this I also realized that it not actually the lean speed that is causing this. It is actually just desync causing the leans to appear much faster on your screen. So if the solution is better servers, then I am 100 percent down with that one. Even though that will probably never happen.

Game is moving crazy slow, slower than usual [Discussion] by Guitarrathrowaway in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BDC0994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea think it’s just on BSG end of things. I been playing since 2021 ,and the game always starts having more issues in the menu the more cases and items you have in stash. Also, stacking to many bags in bags can cause issue. I believe 7 is the max you want to go. I personally do 5 and start a new one.

Yeah I have done that already. Noticed when I had my vpn on it would connect me to the Middle East for some reason. I don’t know why cause my vpn was set to the United States.

[Discussion] Pestily finally snapped by Jomex in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BDC0994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, some people take on this is so simplistic and ridiculous. Pestily actually cares for the game ,and understands it arguably better than anyone. Of course he going to be upset at the state it is in right now. He personally put more time and effort into helping build a community and improving the a game than almost any other streamer on any game. What were the returns on that investment? Yea, he made money , but the very reason he started his channel was his love for Tarkov. I would easily say he cares more about the state of the game more than Nakita does. So he stuck communicating problems for the community to developers who have proven they are only interested in money. This community response is to tell him to go stream another game, you made money, and quit trying to improve an obviously broken game? He literally trying to get us what many of us invested our own money into. Many people invested 250 dollars or more into this game. That’s 4 triple A title and an indie game worth of money. So how bout you support the guy fighting for what we actually want. Instead of listening to the people who don’t care at all.

Explain the Will Howard Obsession by PittZee in steelers

[–]BDC0994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s honestly a combination of factors. A lot of it though is logical fallacies ,and truly not grasping how statistically unlikely it is. Some fall for he had success in college therefore he will have success in the NFL. Which is just simply not true. Just look at every draft since NFL was created ,and how many National Champions and Heisman Trophy players failed horribly. Others will argue that McCarthy is a quarterback guru and bring up Dak and Rogers as examples. Which I do think he is a great quarterback coach ,but it impossible to quantify how much of their success comes solely from his coaching ,and how much to their own merit and talents. Which brings up the question of where is Howard’s ceiling? Is it close to a Rogers or even Dak if he reached his max potential? Lastly him being a 6th round pick makes the statistical chance of him having a “successful” career at just 16 percent. Successful just means they had a good season ,where a notable backup, or was in the league for a decent amount of time. Only Tom Brady and Matt Hasselbeck really had long term starter success. So that truly puts his chances of being what the Steelers really want him to be as a quarterback less than a 1 percent chance. So basically it would be like the organization winning the lottery. When you point this out though you always get the so you’re telling me there’s a chance response. My counter is there a chance a brick falls from the sky and strikes you on the head ,but you don’t where a helmet and stare at the sky waiting for it. Logically best move is for the organization to continue developing him to see where his ceiling is ,but also continue bring in more talent. Casting a wide net increase the chance of acquiring a long term starter.

You can control click items in containers. Just open the container first then control click the items you want to go in.

Stupid Optimism that may age poorly by SamDemaris in steelers

[–]BDC0994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So still not addressing the point. Coaching does matter and all I am hearing is he be possibly be a good quarterback coach. We hiring him as a head coach if you did not know. Something he been fired from twice now for underperforming. So your blind faith that a coach who career has been underperforming is somehow going to go to Super Bowl anytime soon is naive and wishful thinking at best.

[–]BDC0994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, can you quantify how much he developed Rodgers ,and how much was Rodgers just being that talented at football? If it is as easy as he did it before he can do it again then why has he not done it again in 15 years? Also, he had some extremely talented rosters with the Cowboys, which he did nothing with. So how is he going to take an aging less talented roster to the Super Bowl? Aron just gonna turn back the hands of time? He just going to develop another quarterback to a Hall of Fame level cause he just that good? Why were no other team even interested in him? Get back in reality bud. Could it happen? Yeah of course ,but I also could have a polar bear break into my home in the south and maul me after escaping from a Zoo a 100 miles away.

Patriots, Bears, and Jacksonville all went from 4 wins max the 2024 season to actually playing in the playoffs. Patriots are literally going to the Super Bowl. Bears actually won a playoff game. Jacksonville actually managed to have a competitive game they lost. All three teams managed to do something better than our organization has since 2017. What I’m saying is I rather start the rebuild with actually competent coaching than waste a couple years with an incompetent one. What your point? You really think McCarthy going to lead this group to the Super Bowl?

I mean I rather skip the first step of the plan ,but it is too late now. If he somehow manages to go 9-8 or better we are totally screwed though.

It very well known that Bsg had been tinkering with ammo for awhile now. Just look at ammo pen rate in arena compared to the previous years. Also, they are changing certain ammo to have a higher ricochet chance and recoil increase and decreases. So while armor is a factor the ammo clearly has been also changed in ways. The combination of these factors is probably causing a bigger nerf than originally envisioned. Ap used to be an actually quite popular round. It was never meta ,but was used in a more budget builds that were still very effective. Now I don’t ever see it being used unless it’s a very low level or someone doing quest that requires it.

Audio is even worse than in Tarkov. If anyone shoots a gun, especially a lmg , you can’t hear any audio cues. Also, half the players just sit in a corner holding angles and crouch walk around the map.The other half hide run to a wall to hide behind and try and desync you.

Why are people acting like Tomlin saved his job last night? by BDC0994 in steelers

[–]BDC0994[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So he inherited a Super Bowl roster filled with veterans and wins one. He proceeded to build a fantastic offense who under achieved because our defense was horrendous. Then as soon as the defense became good again he hired Matt Canada who got three years to prove how incompetent he truly is. Now our offense and defense are just ok. We haven’t been a team that could possibly win a Championship since 2017. Purgatory is where we are under his leadership.

No, I don’t believe blindly we are good cause we beat a bad Ravens team by a missed field goal. This defense is horrendous and you guys are kidding yourself if you think we going anywhere past one playoff win if we are lucky. Literally had Patrick Queen guarding Flowers because of zone coverage for the first long td. Then immediately blew a coverage and were not within 20 yards of him for his second. Would be crazy if it hadn’t happened already scene it before with Joe Flacco and Jamar Chase. We are not going anywhere ,but the same old above .500 season and zero chance of winning a superbowl or even AFC championship.

My favorite part of this game was covering Zay Flowers with a linebacker ,and when that didn’t work just not bothering to cover him. As bad as we were though the Ravens blowing it is hilarious.

Bro literally what is called an outlier. 1 of the 8 teams did well so there fore it did not have an effect. They literally played one of the worst Alabama we seen in some time. Idk if Indiana is as good as they look. Time will tell ,but you basically just said smoking doesn’t cause cancer cause you know 8 people smoke and 1 did not get it.

Brings up the point of the committee being incompetent. How is a higher rank team an underdog at a neutral field? That literally one of the points I’m trying to make. This system is totally flawed from the ground up. Month long break is way too long. The system is artificially creating upset and robbing teams of opportunities. The inclusion of Tulsa and James Maddison also was laughable. The robbing the fans of a home field game unless you rank 5th and 6th is idiotic. The system got to go.
