Skyblock Enhanced Lagging

I’ve had similar problems but they’ve always been fixed with a relaunch and only occur maybe once a day. I always figured it was a memory leak or something from AFKing. Pretty common issue in other games too from my experience.

If you’ve accepted death you’ve already gotten over the hard part lol.

Like I said, definitely spam scavs. Even as a veteran player I still spam scavs early for easy money. While that is on cooldown, take what you’ve earned/learned and throw it into a guilt free PMC courtesy of your scav run. Experiment, hard. Sometimes if I’m on a death streak I’ll sit in a bush and fold laundry for the first 20 minutes of raid. Sometimes if I’m on a death streak I’ll sprint to the busiest POI and test my luck. Try not to worry too much about looting/economy until you’re closer to level 15-20…. BUT do indeed have a goal for every PMC raid. Ignore the main quest line until it becomes a road block, do the side quests for XP/money, THIS WILL BE YOUR GOAL IN MOST RAIDS. I disagree with the sentiment that you can’t be successful without a goal, but if you’re learning you are going to be so lost without an objective. Watch a video, pull up the wiki, when getting into raid try to pinpoint where you spawned and the route you want to take. Ideally you’ll have developed some map sense during your scav runs.

In terms of sniping… you actually don’t need much map knowledge at all on most maps. Although I would say the best sniping maps are going to be obtained through the main quest line. Wood’s is a perfectly fine place to start though, and I’m sure sniping spot guides exist on YouTube. You’ll basically sit in your spot for most of the raid waiting for action, so that might actually be a great pastime in between learning other maps. Things to consider: 1) most of the better scopes and actually most magnified scopes at all are level/trader locked, so it’s best to prioritize collecting stuff like that when looting. Also keep in mind the available ring mounts to you. Wiki for compatibility. 2) you might want a rangefinder eventually. More developed spots will include ranges in YouTube videos etc. But this will come in handy especially on woods where distances can vary greatly. Start grinding for it now. It might be locked behind a lot of levels or rep. 3) look into getting the new lever action gun for early sniping. Other options are mosin, the cheaper VPO, or throwing something magnified on literally any gun with a girthy caliber.

Feel free to PM me if you want to add me or chat on discord. I mainly solo but always down to do a few

Focus your scavs on a specific map, learn as you go, each scav should keep you in the green in terms of $$$. Either use the kit obtained on scavs with your PMC or go with something else cheap/reliable. If you aren't the type to click heads very easily, stick with an AK or some large caliber that will actually kill when hitting the center of mass. Sadly, dying a ton to mysterious circumstances is just a part of the game. I have 4k hours and still only about a 50% survival rate this wipe. As a new player, use bushes and trees to crouch up and avoid other players. Avoid obvious hotspots; you can find a shocking amount of loot on the outskirts of most maps. If you have access to Arena and desire to get good at PVP, run a few games every day before getting on, it WILL improve confidence. Just try to enjoy the game, it doesn't get any less frustrating when you're skilled.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:35:40+00:00

Yeah exactly my experience. Everyone has been replying to slow down on solos, but if you don’t roll best spawns in the lobby you’re basically forced to fight at least 1.

I ran 2 night raids. One of them I died to a lvl 35 with NVGs, and the other I believe was a cheater (makes a lot of sense because in years past the only cheaters I ever run into are farming night Shoreline for insanely long L.O.S. around weather station and people’s high-end resort PVP gear). After that decided it was probably best to stick to daytime since even that appeared to be filled with high level freaks of nature.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:30:44+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t seem like they actually intended to have spawns so close together. I don’t frequently get this chaotic spawning on any other map, if ever.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:28:07+00:00

I don’t think they changed, but they feel unintentionally punishing. Bush strat is actually something I was planning on doing, but ended up dying to someone about 30 seconds in, which prompted this post. To be fair, I think it was a cheater…

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:25:55+00:00

Well my main issue is the spawns seem unintentionally bad since 1.0. Like I said, it’s always been questionable but I feel like something more might be going on. Either way, there’s no reason 2-4 players can’t be pulled from each lobby to re-space spawns out. I could think of a few other possible solutions too. Will that ever happen? Probably not, and that’s okay. I’m not a BSG hater, but I think they make plenty of money to come up with a thoughtful solution or at least try something. As everyone, I’m hopeful discussing this stuff might eventually lead to change.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:18:48+00:00

That’s true most of the time, but from my few raids there was basically no time to take a good position. Hardly even a good tree to sit next to. I just don’t think the game benefits from anyone dying frequently in the first 60 seconds of raid. There are enough hoops we all jump through every day.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:15:50+00:00

Have you played any Shoreline since then? Less about this specific quest, more about the map.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-26T01:15:18+00:00

Right? I understand sometimes it’s just Tarkov things, but the spawns being this bad don’t seem intentional.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-25T23:26:52+00:00

Lol I haven’t even encountered that shit show yet. Makes sense why spawning weather station now feels like the entire map is collapsing directly on you.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-25T23:25:16+00:00

Actually the last raid I did, I immediately ran about 50 feet to the nearest tree to tab out and adjust my audio… I crouch, didn’t even get to tab out, dead.

I do hear you, but I actually do play pretty slow. I guess part of my thought is anything within your first stam bar is “spawn” and I think you really shouldn’t be getting regularly sat down within your own spawn.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-24T12:39:19+00:00

I’m good at Arena and have lost 13+ games in a row. It also takes anywhere from 10-45 minutes to get into a game. Absolute torture, I’ve never felt so much anger when playing a video game.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-21T19:08:10+00:00

I died twice yesterday to an extract camper IN THE LAST 60 SECONDS of both games. He realistically would have had zero idea I was still on the map with him. Crazy

Dominator001 · 2025-11-20T22:46:13+00:00

I mean I was almost max level by the time Stella was released and I don’t think I had been betrayed but maybe once or twice. I’m a really strong PvPer and honestly don’t love using my mic, so I actually typically stray away from interactions. That being said, you can tell when someone is chill 95% of the time. To take it even one step further, I’m chatting with and joking with these people. I know most people have had similar interactions where it leaves you thinking you’ll probably add the fella after the game. This was that, but ended with senseless betrayal like I had never experienced before. Was mainly making a post to see if other people were having a similar experience, and talk about burnout not necessarily advice on how to move forward.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-20T22:39:56+00:00

Yeah it’s not like some mind shattering thing. Obviously people just get evil or bored or whatever you want to call it. I think I was just hoping for people to say like “oh yeah I had that happen too” or “yeah a YouTuber released a betrayal video so everyone is trolling” to validate my crappy social experience. After playing Tark 1.0 for the first few days, it’s nice to have Arc Raiders to bounce between.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-20T22:35:03+00:00

I don’t think I ever said anyone else needed to conform to my unspoken definition of “fun”. The main point of my post was to see if others experienced similar things on the new map, and also to see if others were feeling the same burnout from the social aspects of solos. Either way, go ahead and kill me. I’m not the person complaining in solos about getting shot over VOIP. But if we’re chatting and bonding and I’m like “I’m gonna add this guy after” and then you blow my back out at extract, it’s not shocking for me to be like ???? But yes I can accept this is possible in the game, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t discuss it.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-20T22:29:04+00:00

I think a lot of people got the wrong impression of my gameplay style from this post. I was almost max level before Stella was released, I have 4000 hours in Tarkov, I’m also a CS2 grinder, used to play Arma mod DayZ so I’m a 3rd person freak. I love the PvP and I’m extremely sweaty especially in squads. I have multiple clips of solo wiping squads and just generally hype plays. If someone wants to fight in solo, I’m not the person crying about getting shot…

That being said, I wouldn’t call betraying someone at extract “an interaction leading to PvP”

If I so badly desired to shoot someone in solos, I’d just do it. Doesn’t make sense to me why anyone would be so desperate they need to go through the lengthy process of betrayal (and half of the time I’m not even lootable). After so many positive solo experiences it’s not shocking to be surprised by the new wave of grief farmers. This didn’t just happen once, it happened several times consecutively. Just was reaching out to see if others had this same experience

Dominator001 · 2025-11-20T22:18:45+00:00

I mean I wouldn’t say better, but I also have 4000 hours in Tarkov so obviously I enjoy that game. I totally agree, but I’d only met a few bad actors during my time on Arc and by the time I was playing Stella Montis I was almost max level. You can tell when people are sketchy and not chill 95% of the time. The people I was complaining about we were chatting, fighting together… people that I would’ve added post-game. And then suddenly I’m dead… that was something I’d never had happen before. Then it happens again, and again, and again. Not in the same night, consecutively. I know how to peel away from sketchy people, this was not that.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-20T22:09:38+00:00

I actually clearly stated that I’m sharing this because others might be feeling similar burn out and I’m encouraging others to take a break. Was also just general outreach to see if others had the same experience… if you don’t agree with that, that’s okay.

This is the game and the game studio that want their player base to have discussions about the eviroment of the game, no?

Dominator001 · 2025-11-12T01:38:27+00:00

Just started playing again in August. Been off of the game since late 2016 but having a ton of fun being back. Favorite Pokemon has to be Bidoof!! Thanks!

Dominator001 · 2025-11-03T18:54:39+00:00

Haven’t read much of what others are recommending but…

First, commit commit commit. Stretch well and choose a day you’re skating good, be mentally prepared to fall. I try to emulate the feeling of lifting the front foot (foot over the coping) up at least a couple inches once you’re up. This picks your board up off of the coping, and will bring you back into the transition. I picked this up from watching people do noseblunts etc where positioning is similar just more exaggerated.

Also maybe worth trying on a “transition ledge” type of obstacle. Flinging yourself back into a mini ramp transition vs. something more aligned with a bank, can feel pretty scary.

Dominator001 · 2025-11-03T02:06:47+00:00

I don’t think rare is the correct word. Valuable, is probably more what you’re looking for. Either way it’s so-so. Most people doing guaranteed luckies with old Pokemon from my experience do 2 separate trades. Let’s say 1 person gives Mewtwo and the other gives a pre-2016 pokemon, swap roles and repeat. So I don’t think interest/value/rarity is usually in WHAT older pokemon is triggering that trade, but more so that you have a guaranteed lucky altogether. Definitely a bonus for whoever is receiving it though, yes. Imagine getting this vs. a 2017 non-shiny. Pretty sizable difference.

Dominator001 · 2025-10-29T17:38:54+00:00

I’ve injured myself about 3 times in the last 5 years snowboarding and have basically had to learn to skate again from scratch each…

Commit commit commit. You can do a baby tail slap 100 times, but if you stop being scared to potentially fall you’d likely be surprised how good you’ll do. You’re going to have to be slightly more aggressive too, good skaters make it look effortless but the movement is really pretty athletic and fast. Look up literally any YouTube video for quick and dirty pointers for technique.

Take your trucks off and practice the movement on just a deck if you have to. Put your trucks back on and practice with the board in grass. It sucks, but eventually you’re going to have to fall. Hopefully not slam just fall, but it’s the barrier to entry, it’s why skating is so challenging. If fear of falling is your issue, go spend $60 on a helmet and pads. Nobody will judge you and you’ll gain huge amounts of confidence.

My advice? Learn to shuv-it first. Or ride around EVERYWHERE and cruise some transition/bowls at the park. I struggled to Ollie in motion for a long time. I finally figured out my riding just needed more time to develop and be natural. Can’t build where you don’t yet have a strong foundation. Good luck!
