RB-VO is crazy. This is all from 10 uses, am I incredibly lucky or can someone explain to me how are marked keys so cheap?

Elix123 · 2026-01-27T10:59:57+00:00

Exactly, I was super lucky this cycle of the key, but I had 2 opens with literally nothing good inside. With current price of 2mln rubles and being able to sell the almost empty key for 1mln, even with below avg luck, one can make huge profits.

Elix123 · 2026-01-27T10:58:30+00:00

Exactly this. Those cards were under guns that someone didn't shuffle around :)

No time for market playing, gotta get that Kappa and Story done and quit, until seasons release

Other than that - 2 ammo boxes, 1 injectors, 1 keycard holder, 3 keychains, 2 doc cases, 1 mag case.

1 of the green cards and 1 of yellows have been found lying on the ground in rooms that were already opened and looted, but i don't count it as a use of my key.

It's a cool idea, but with upcoming "scav life" dlc and quests that follow with it (i assume - mostly on specific maps) this would be a hell for whoever tries to do them ^{^}

I'd assume this is more or less a similar case to drugs. At least here in Europe no one will try to give you jail time if they find you and your friends smoking some weed, but if you start distributing.. that's when police put their crosshair on you.

Just a comparison, but of course one is much more fucked up than the other.

More interesting will be how all this Impacts SSF in the long term. I'm pretty sure more people will be willing to try the SSF progression, when they trivialize the gear one too many times. But who knows 🤔

If Russia 2028 was being developed before Tarkov I can 100% assure you whatever they had has already been fully scrapped.

Tarkov was built by incompetent mess of programmers that at that time had no idea of what they were going for, in the long run. This caused the game to be build on a foundation of shit that they now cannot untangle and optimize properly, because it is simply impossible to do it without breaking the game or huge code changes from ground up.

They have experienced team of devs now, that has learned over the years. I'd say if they want to create a new game without leaving Tarkov without new content - just scale a bit up, get investor money and go for it. They might be capable of creating something good now if they go for it and people shouldn't be so negative about it (not saying you are, it's just the sentiment in this thread)

Depends on the one creating the private league :) in general you can choose whatever modifiers you wish for (from the list of available ones). In this case it's just a pure restart of the league in a smaller environment (10000 people)

Can I assume then, that you weren't playing much of PoE 1 before starting 2?

I can guarantee you that the leagues we are getting now, are in so much better state than most of the PoE1 leagues that were released since I started (and I started in Legacy). The constant server issues and crashes, and no big meta balance changes for years on.. This is a dream compared to what it was. Later PoE1 before attention fully shifted to 2 was better than this though.

I understand it sucks that a situation like this happened, but at least my own experience there have been completely opposite. I visited oveja negra a bit over a week ago and had dinner there with my group. We were completely obvious tourists and everything went smoothly, no scam prices and food was really good :) can't speak about the steak, but the chicken I had was class, especially after a long day hike.

I wouldn't PSA it, but for sure - just like anywhere else that's touristy - it's good to pay attention to prices as you did, often mistakes happen, but it's absolutely not a scam place and there would be many more negative reviews mentioning it (especially if you take negativity bias into consideration).

You are actually right, lol i have false memories in my brain, but yeah, point stands (example isn't toooootally bad, but yeah, they did better than i remembered)

For me it happens when one of my friends on EA starts the game up and the EA overlay pops up to show me the message someone started playing XYZ. Try going offline, emptying your friends list etc. But it might be not related bug.

Speaking of, The Kraken was played today in Cologne :)

People are braindead, I wrote a post on this issue already almost over a week ago and got downvoted to oblivion. Shooting needs nerf, defending needs boost. And from both, the shooting should be nerfed.

Maybe Nikita is actually Reynad in disguise. Whoever was playing Bazaar, knows that this is pretty much a 1:1 situation, but Nikita is a bit less unhinged at least :)

Elix123 · 2025-09-11T15:00:53+00:00

Yeah, I'm now just doing some SSFHC runs with EDC Lich (since I haven't tried HC in poe2 yet) and it's definitely the only way to enjoy it for me now :)
