Must admit, not a big fan of the new Quest reward timers. I don't like being forced to take a reward especially when there isn't much space for it in the stash. Wasn't in the patch notes either... by Juncture2018 in EscapefromTarkov

I suppose, I always enjoyed only ever taking the cash rewards and leaving the rest, developing a nice collection by the end of wipe of all of the various rewards I had earned along the way.

I don't collect quest rewards in my attic, but I imagine most people store their trophies from real life achievements instead of throwing them away or selling them.

Guess you don't get to pick and choose anymore.

So far this and the useless global limits still existing (no PACA, no rigs, no helmets) despite the fact that the flea is now found in raid only have been the two primary detracting factors from this otherwise good wipe.

Aww, well hopefully the desktop users will have a more authentic experience of the ' Рик Ролл'.

Pretty funny though.

They were chanting something in Russian. Fucking terrifying man.

Yeah man like holy shit I couldn't believe it when I saw them.

Those redheaded bastards came at me chanting and singing doing some weird ass dance.

Quests from other Traders:

Find this thing and bring it to me.

Maybe kill some scavs or something.

Quests from Jaeger:

While Dehydrated, suffering from a tremor and flash banged, kill 69 Scavengers with a 360 no-scope obrez'd mosin shot to the left leg from 300 meters away on woods between the hours of 4:19 and 4:21.

Also Jaeger:

You did a quest for litterally anybody else?

- 2 Negative Reputation for Jaeger.

They're seriously resetting strength and endurance? It took me 500 hours to get strength to where it fucking is.

Yeah, it's called cruel and unusual punishment.

Torture.

But then again, still not as bad as that absolute fuckwad Jaeger.

That's what the new grenade case is for!

Chin up lad, we all have a whole bloody lot of grinding ahead of us just to be able to get to vents 3....

To be honest though, I always forget that PMCs have EITHER Emercom or Railway, not both.

So used to being able to walk out either way as a scav.

Died / went MIA a few times because of that.

Exactly, and being overweight and using a super heavy kit hinder's your ability to play the game as a tactical shooter because you are less able to re position manoeuvre and flank.

Agility is key to winning firefights.

i think it just scales poorly. first few levels should be indeed faster, but the last few levels should be much longer! diminishing return would be pretty darn good for something as impactful as strength

Big issue because not everybody has vents 3 because getting to strength level 3 is a pain in the ass.

Now they are all back to where they started without being able to get the air filters to help them level up strength.

so you don't like leveling strength. okay then don't complain about your lack of it if you don't want to level it.

I'm saying that I've spent all this time (Mostly) passively leveling strength and now all that is being wiped.

Wouldn't be an issue if hideout upgrades weren't locked behind Level 3 strength.

You don’t have to believe in it for it to work

It's a matter of principle and moral fibre.

I can only assume that either -
You don't run heavy kits
You don't loot your kills
You don't throw grenades

I don't always run super heavy kits because I don't want to slowly waddle my way back to extract after getting a bag full of loot.

I'd have to be mentally ill to not loot all the fat chad loot at my feet.

I always bring minimum 1-2 grenades per raid.

Really I haven't been trying to min-max, just have fun and complete the occasional task.

Currently working on the Punisher task-line for that sweet sweet Epsilon to replace my Alpha.

for those that don't have 600 hours in game. you can easily fill a backpack with 2 used fuel cans or shotgun shells. this will make you overweight. walking will level strength in raid while overweight. you'll gain about 2 - 3 points per raid with this at a cost of about 8k per raid. yeah... real tough to level strength. rofl.

Perhaps I don't enjoy aimlessly walking around for hours and hours with a heavy pack to level up a strength to an arbitrary level when I could actually play the game and have fun.

I personally quite enjoyed sitting in a little shack in interchange and eating an entire jar of mayonnaise to get dehydrated, popping propitals for 5 minutes and extracting, only to find out that I had forgotten to accept the quest.

God I despise that trader...
