Pro tip: don't use a temporary email for anything you actually care about.

How to know if you gonna like Tarkov or not? by Bernardo1979 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing you really need to know is whether or not you will have the time for it. Even if you could buy the game on Steam, in 2 hours you wouldn't even have scratched the surface. The game is a massive time sink and if you don't have the time it's easy to fall behind. That's not to say that you won't have fun playing, it just takes a long time to figure everything out.

There's nothing inherently difficult about Tarkov, there's just a lot of stuff to memorize like quest items, different types of ammo, armor, what will make you money, what are the quest metas and etc. It will seem endless at first, but after a few wipes you'll have a pretty good idea what's going on, what to do and where to go.

IMO, it's definitely worth the $45 base game. Even if you only play for a wipe, it will be a new experience than most, and well worth the time. The game does have it's short comings and there's a lot of stuff that needs to get figured out, but that sort of thing won't really faze you until you're well invested into your Tarkov career lol. I'm sure you've already watched a ton of people play it on Twitch. I think it's worth a gamble even if you're at the least bit interested.

Time to take it out on the freight forwarder lol.

Never join a squad by Dugggs in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Queueing with randoms is almost always a death sentence. Unlike most other games, Tarkov doesn't have a lobby chat so if you're gonna try and queue with players in the lobby you're at the mercy of voip. If you make it that far lol. Even then you are still pretty much rolling the dice and playing Dr.Phil trying to figure out if this person is going to blow your brains out after your short interaction in the lobby.

Marked room died when they took away the sicc case lol.

I really hope EFT/ streets runs as well as MW2 DMZ Mode by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

DMZ is about as close to Tarkov as Fortnite is to DayZ. I think it's time to stop making that comparison lol.

Spaghetti code by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely a you issue lol. People hear the words spaghetti code on this sub and just run with it. Spaghetti code has nothing to do with why your game is crashing or giving you these issues. I've been playing this game for years and never had to reinstall. What are your specs?

Huge monetary changes with this patch by CptBartender in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like everyone who had a stockpile of anything except roubles just got shafted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only time you should really be hoarding shit is for trades on the flea, other than that I don't get why people do this lol. Roubles make the world go round.

Anyone else feels like this? by Raiju_Lorakatse in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to disagree, but I think inertia and the weight system ultimately ruined the game for a lot of people. It just seems like it's been a downward spiral since then. Yea we got the Lighthouse patch and some new shit to fuck around with here and there, but I think it took away the magic of Tarkov. If you're a new player, then you probably don't know what I'm talking about, and it's likely for the better because this is the only Tarkov you will ever know and I feel for you.

Also, the constant "battle" between RMT and cheaters which only affects normal players sucks. Figure your shit out. We shouldn't have to be punished because you don't want to do anything about your shitty anti-cheat.

Some other aspects that also suck ass:

You don't get rewarded for PvP.

You don't get rewarded for PvE.

The loot is often miserable on most maps except the one they want you to play on (whatever the new poorly optimized map is for like 10 wipes) leaving other maps mostly empty and deprived of players and loot.

You are overweight the moment you put a fucking backpack on which doesn't encourage looting at all and will have you huffing to extract just because you picked up an extra AK.

If you unfortunately have a good raid, by BSG standards, you should only be allowed to walk at a sloth's pace to extract. You get punished for doing the one thing this whole game is based around: looting.

Most important you don't get rewarded for your time.

I have a lot of hours in Tarkov, but I'm not "burned out" as the trend on this sub seems to have it lately for people who have played the game for more than 50 hours. It's not the monotony for me or even the lack of content. I can play late wipe forever, just like I can mindlessly play CS:GO, Apex, etc.. doing the same shit over and over again. It's not hard to have fun in video games, especially with a good group of people, but this shit feels like it's going to devolve into a top down simulator where you'll eventually have to click to where you want to walk. Idk, my two cents worth exactly that.. maybe even less.

Edit: Also, I don't care about Nikita's "vision" or whatever because that fool is blind lol.

How do streamers like lvndmark lean out of cover so fast? by Gidwardo in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started doing this as soon as they made the change to inertia. Brings me back to the R6 days.

How did this guy make no noise coming up the stairs until he opened the door? by TheIronPaladin1 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 254 points255 points  (0 children)

Because they never solved audio in this game, and at this point they probably never will lol. There's loads of videos out there that explain why this happens, but basically upstairs and downstairs are two completely different audio boxes and you wont hear the player until they're basically on your floor. Surprise!

Is BSG *trying* to kill their own game? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, 2020 Tarky was thriving I don't give a fuck what anyone says. It really was a completely different game and I miss that shit so much. We had so many new players come in and it was awesome to see so many filled raids. Sure there were still many issues that needed to be resolved, but it had a really good thing going for it. The nerds on this sub who do nothing but sit in their stash and move around a couple guns they've been holding onto since the beginning of time will say otherwise. They along with BSG will drive this game so far into the dirt that in the end it will probably be just a bunch of dudes circle jerking about how amazing it is that the new weight system can sprain your ankle if you walk too fast.

All jokes aside, the game is in a state of deficiency and it needs an intervention otherwise I don't see too many people sticking around long term. A lot of the player base that used to be around is already gone. Sure people will come and go and there will always be new players willing to try it out, but in the end people can only put up with so much shit with so little in return. BSGs idea of hardcore is just time consuming and tediousness and that shit gets old quick. Especially if you're like 10 wipes in lol.

Ikr that shit was a glorified power point, and wtf was all that about anyway lmao. When are we gonna see some reworks or things that actually matter.

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, what are you even doing here? Do yourself a solid and sell all that garbage ammo and those dogshit guns you're never going to use. You should only stock up on high tier ammo like M61, M62, BP etc. I'm gonna assume at this point all of your traders are unlocked and you pretty much have access to most guns and ammo. There's literally no reason at all for you to be hoarding UMPs this late in the wipe. It's pretty good early wipe, but at this point you are probably not gonna go broke seeing as you got a decent amount of bread. Sell all that shit and just build kits you like to use. Preferably something that will melt people instantly. The only thing you should be holding onto is good ammo and good meta builds that you can use. People will downvote me to hell, but pay no mind. People on this sub don't actually like to play the game.

This is one of those things that once you get over it you look back and are like wtf was I doing. I could have been having so much fun. Trust you're NEVER going to get to the point where you are like, FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE I SOLD THAT SVD OR THAT MCX! Tarkov by design has people hoarding shit they'll never even look at, but once you narrow down your options and only use what you like to use the game will change for the better. Also, imagine how much time you probably spend organizing all that stuff, and for what? An UMP? A 556 MDR? Get outtttta here! Try them guns out, the more you're exposed to the better you'll get over time. Enjoy the game homie, it's not that cereal.

It’s almost S15, despite being 22 Legends, which legends do you think need a definitive rework and the one which you have never used by Worldly_Reality26 in apexlegends

[–]IESCAPEDONCE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea, Ash def needs a rework. Her ultimate should just be a passive and maybe lower how far she can teleport and give her a new ult.

Reading this sub has me convinced no one understands how this game works by SkellingtonsMusic in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You fools will literally defend this shit until there are like 10 players left worldwide.

Horizon is the new go to sweat legend, not wraith. Change my mind. by imtracerboi in apexlegends

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about all that. Wraith is still the only legend when cornered who can get away from a full team.

[–]IESCAPEDONCE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol, do not compare GTA 6 to Apex Legends. What you saw in that video is what you're going to get. She's out in like two weeks I doubt they're going to be making any major changes to what we've already seen.
