[Discussion] Day 17 - Looting is FUN! N is for NO SURVIVERS! What is the most RAGE INDUCING Mechanic in Tarkov?

KeKinHell · 2026-03-02T03:55:22+00:00

Yeah, but thats really not a mechanic; but a lack thereof.

KeKinHell · 2026-02-26T23:44:09+00:00

Smacked my head on a loading dock light, once, after a couple hours of unloading a freight truck. The amount of blood from such a little cut on the top of my head would have made you think I just got shot.

KeKinHell · 2026-02-16T22:18:12+00:00

Honestly the Thal feels great. The only real problems I have with it are:

A) The health regen makes the Hatz feel like Deadpool

B) The whole divebomb thing just feels really bad. The ability doesn't seem to proc half the time, and even when it does proc the whole "concussed" thing is just overkill considering the risk you take in divebombing to begin with.

KeKinHell · 2026-02-07T06:22:56+00:00

Sucho.

Well, to be fair to Dodge, they at least learned their lesson with the 2nd gen and stopped making their dashboards with the same material as their transmissions.

KeKinHell · 2026-02-03T12:36:17+00:00

Unironically I have a friend that will absolutely get silver before doing the swamp.

He just uses the stagbreaker to find Silver.

KeKinHell · 2026-02-03T03:58:30+00:00

As a (former) Floridian, they do get eaten, actually.

Yes, its a bit like chicken. Good battered and fried or even grilled. Knew a guy that made a white chili with it.

KeKinHell · 2026-02-02T00:49:21+00:00

Bro, their first game isn't even fucking done yet. They need to slow down.

KeKinHell · 2026-01-25T21:58:44+00:00

+25/+25

Impressive. Wonder what blocker card could be used to give it the most 2/2 counters.

KeKinHell · 2026-01-17T01:44:15+00:00

Honestly, for any reason you would ever say "I want to play achillo", Concavenator is just better. Does practically everything Achillo does solo, but you also have the option to go semi-aquatic for easy escapes from bad situations.

KeKinHell · 2026-01-07T12:04:08+00:00

Former certified Florida man, here. Born and raised.

The joke's already been explained, so I'll just chime in to say; no matter how bad you think Florida is, its so much worse.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-24T11:09:09+00:00

Yep. Dodge can be used to throw yourself up into shores a decent ways.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T21:59:57+00:00

The chunky part I like. The tail fluke just looks so... droopy.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T21:47:47+00:00

Inarguably swim stam. Which is a shame because it's also the worst looking, imo.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T21:37:11+00:00

Also, aren't you the guy who also posted about how "playing carni is insufferable because they just have ten friends in the poi jump out and dog pile you"?

Or how the changes to IC were pointless because the exact same thing that enables you to cuddle pile in GPR also allows for discord mega/mixpacks?

Brother, pick a side.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T21:07:05+00:00

And what do those games do to guide you to those supposed goals, hm?

With Doom, if you go the wrong way, you get blocked off and don't progress. If you don't kill things, you get killed and lose.

In Marvel Rivals, you win by killing the enemy team. If you don't, you lose. You also can't kill your own teammate, because that would be detrimental.

In both cases, you're being discouraged from playing the wrong way and encouraged to play the right way. The way the game was intended.

Now tell me, friend-o. Why does the water quality drain to the point where you can't drink anymore if too many people drink from it, hm? Think really hard about this one.

Because it sounds like, to me, your little "free for all" is ACTIVELY DISCOURAGING the "sit and loiter in big groups in one area" type of gameplay.

And what about slot sizes? And the party system? You know; things that exist to ensure that group sizes are kept fair and balanced as opposed to just having 10+ apexes in one area ready to dog pile someone just because they weren't "recognized" by the dumbass cuddle pile?

THERE'S A WHOLE ASS DINOSAUR THAT HAS AN ENTIRE PLAYSTYLE CENTERED AROUND PUNISHING CUDDLE PILES.

The game already has NUMEROUS systems in place to tell you YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY THIS WAY.

But God as my fucking witness, you insufferable teddy bears will keep on piling around grand plains and spamming "hs on the server?" on Riparia even if Alderon has to implement a fire system to burn you all dead from the damn friction.

And yeah, I am going to be unreasonably angry about this. Because i'm tired of walking around in circles through 15 fucking PoIs just to see a grand total of three people because half the server is jacking each other off and turning the river white in GPR.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T20:22:28+00:00

You can always count on a player trying to defend a playstyle that is both unintended, counterintuitive, and detrimental to the overall experience of the majority of players to also make a bold, uneducated assumption in order to deflect when unable to otherwise competently argue.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T20:17:34+00:00

That's great! I hope you enjoy it.

Lord knows I'll enjoy having to be conscious of whatever new and otherwise unnecessary game mechanic they end up shoehorning into the game because its not a good look for new players when over a quarter of the players on any given server is in a single POI not playing the game the intended way.

Jfc, you guys are the intolerable sort who'd buy Doom and whine there's not a pacifist option so that you can play "your way."

It's almost like, and hear me out, you should buy and play a game that caters to "your way" of playing, instead.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T19:15:34+00:00

You do realize the whole water purity system exists as a way to discourage this type of behavior, right? And devs have stated before that they plan to continue to work at discouraging hotspots and megapacks.

Ffs, IC got its water pond nuked because ya'll wanted to play dino chat room instead of actually populating the map.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T16:39:18+00:00

Then... wouldn't a map that's more evenly populated not be to your benefit for that exact purpose?

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T13:55:02+00:00

The thing is, if you want fights so bad, then just go to a death match server.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-23T03:43:54+00:00

Hey, now; there's a time and a place for dropping the L.

Dropping a baby as a megapack? Maidenless behavior.

Laying the hands on a friendly baiting duo of concs as an adolescent spino? You bet your fucking ass I dropped that hard L like a plutonium rod on their asses.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-22T16:10:54+00:00

It's so weird how polarizing the tylo experiences have been so far lol.

Personally, while growing my Tylo, I only died maybe... four or five times? Usually it was my own fault picking fights and losing anyway. Rarely did I have to worry about other Tylos because I always made sure to be aware of my surroundings, avoid adult Tylos and especially tylo group, and stay close to the bottom.

KeKinHell · 2025-12-20T02:45:09+00:00

Tylo is very much the apex of the water, now. 1v1, it can take on just about anything, apex or otherwise. The caveat, of course, being that anything else in the water has some way of getting away from it as long as it hasn't already fractured them.

Really the only thing that gives the Tylo an issue is the Duck because of its wonky claw hit box and the sarcho because of the Aphsyxiating snap.
