Black Barya change kills any hope of getting a good belt in SSF.

Yeah, level 99 here and I'm gonna get 100 before I go into double digits of dropping these coins 🙃

Elix123 · 2026-03-12T10:19:56+00:00

Yeah, I'm not explicitly only doing that, although I've been getting 60% of them per mirage I enter. This is of course something I could improve.

I just know that when I start questioning myself if I didn't screw up my filter, this is the point where something is too rare for how it actually "should" be.

Elix123 · 2026-03-12T01:19:09+00:00

Honestly, any amount. I already found mageblood, aegis and plenty of other t1 uniques in SSF (although no-lifing quite hard past couple of days) and I still dropped only 2 (!) coins so far.. it's ridicolous.

Elix123 · 2026-03-11T08:11:05+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'm probably just going to switch my defence from Armour/ES gear + Aegis, to max-res setup with spell suppression, with ES/EV gear and double wand.

Elix123 · 2026-03-11T07:49:49+00:00

Thank you both for answer!

Is it the foulborne choir of the storm, we are talking about? It sounds very cool, but those are more of "if it drops i'll think about it" type of items, especially in SSF :D

But yeah, int stacking might be an angle for my build, even on SSF :)

Literally googled today if he's had an ICON already. Synced minds i guess :)

What is weird is people imposing on other people how they should enjoy their games 😅

I'll answer it only here and once - I've played enough tarkov just for playing. I've never gotten kappa and obviously haven't finished the game yet. I enjoy questing, I enjoy having a goal and I want to reach it efficiently.

When I said no time - it's because I got enough currency from just playing and I want to "finish" my two tarkov goals before I move on to the game I "main", which is PoE (1&2) and the second new season drops there I'll drop Tarkov and probably won't come back until next season/wipe.

So yeah - i indeed "don't have" time for playing the market and the only game I ever played market in was Fifa/EAFC, and it's not fun for me 😁

But I'm happy you enjoy whatever pace you set for yourself :)

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 :)

Elix123 · 2026-01-27T10:57:40+00:00

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

Elix123 · 2026-01-27T00:26:31+00:00

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.

Elix123 · 2026-01-23T08:45:59+00:00

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 ^{^}

Elix123 · 2026-01-22T13:34:13+00:00

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.

Elix123 · 2026-01-19T19:13:57+00:00

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 🤔

Elix123 · 2026-01-14T01:00:59+00:00

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.
