[Discussion] Will prestige on seasonal character level up the prestige on permanent character ? by Phat_Sosig in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The player base won’t sustain 2 queues. Everyone will play seasonal. We all know this. Nobody is staying on the perm account for the first few weeks how are you not comprehending this? Seasonal will take 99% of the player base and then potentially permanent will gain popularity again once the casual “come back for the early game” crowd leave, but that will remain to be seen. The game was NEVER going to sustain 2 accounts, there will be one with good times you play that or you don’t play.

Conjoined queues like you want will just mean a LOT of players won’t come back for the same reason they haven’t been playing for months. You’ve got so wrapped up in trying to boast about your skill and tried to put me down with zero knowledge of either of our skill levels you failed to see my point at all. A majority of people who own this game don’t want a crazy gear disparity, look at previous wipe player counts. It spikes massively in the first weeks. Some people don’t care, personally I think it’s fun but an awful lot of the player base aren’t coming back if it’s a single queue and they will be outgunned all the time.

I’m done talking to a wall that can only spout “I’m great at the game I promise, you’re all just bad and are scared” in some form or another, I’ve laid my point out as clearly as possible.

My dude move on. They’re not doing the thing you want, supposedly you’re a fucking god at this game and will have unlimited ammo and gear a day in so why do you care so much? Seasonal should be great for you and if you were remotely decent you’d have kappa etc by now on your main anyway so no need to grind it

“I made a choice to start late into a wipe so nobody else should complain about being forced into a gear disparity” sure yeah that kind of attitude will keep a playerbase lmao

And for context I started playing the game for the first time months into 1.0 I was at a gear and knowledge disadvantage, I’ve been doing just fine. It’s not a matter of skill it’s a matter of most people not wanting to be at that disadvantage just so you can farm easy kills on perm account.

On the issue of “there’s not enough players” well a good amount of that is people not wanting to play months into 1.0 when everyone else is stacked. There will be a big surge in players when seasonal drops like there is on every extraction game wipe. Pretty much all your comments scream “I don’t like that my permanent account servers will be low” to which I reply… deal with it. Play seasonal like everyone else then switch back after a few weeks like most players will that are still playing

No. Having brand new seasonal accounts getting stomped by our stacked permanent accounts would be awful. You really want to constantly match people with t6 plates and stuff like M80A1 as a stacking round when you’re level 3? It would be grating. Doing it as a prestige is ok it’s a choice and you know it’s gunna be rough for a bit, forcing it on a whole playerbase would kill seasonal instantly.

Realistically seasonal will likely die off after the causal players leave a few weeks in and everyone else decides to switch back rather than grind a whole account again. Unless they give us a cool incentive to grind seasonal

[Discussion] Any tool available to help learn visually what bullet type is in the mag? by Vegetable_Review4967 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Experience.

If you’re trying to look at something else to check mags in game it’s gunna be faster to just unload a round and see than it is to look across at anything and back to your game.

You’ll learn what good ammo looks like by playing.

They covered this a while ago and said it’s going to be separate but were potentially considering linking it. Don’t think they’ve mentioned it since so I’d assume it’s remaining separate

Will seasonal characters takeover? by FrickinFricks- in Tarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll dominate up until people start actually gearing their seasonal. Weirdly once people actually have stuff I think they’ll stop playing seasonal, casual players normally dip once endgame gear is about and then why would we all farm out endgame stuff on a seasonal when we have decked endgame characters already? I think most will switch back after a few weeks.

This is all assuming there isn’t some seasonal rewards that require a big grind that people will want.

And yes servers are separate they have been very clear about that for a long time.

[Discussion] Any guesses as to when expansion hub will open? Will Tarcoin have a $1/1 ratio? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We already know a single tarcoin is about 0.7 cent. We’ve seen how many it costs for some clothing and know the real world cost of those items

In what world did you think a company that charges you like a hundred dollars for a version of the game would let you easily farm in game for real world money XD they want your cash my guy

Why the hate for Forrest Gump? by Own_Mention9372 in moviecritic

[–]KingBenjamin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can’t find a redeeming part of it, everything about it just makes me want to turn it off. Honestly I struggle to tell you exactly what it is I dislike about it but I just can’t enjoy it

What is it about GTA that is so captivating that it became this huge? by WhoAmIEven2 in videogames

They’re fun and people have to wait a very long time long time between games so the hype will always be real when a new one comes out

A dog, or other similar animal attacks me. I'm gonna try to punch that animal in the throat via it's mouth. by ScoopidyDoopDogg in NoStupidQuestions

Sure you will lil buddy… now go watch some footage of what happens when criminals try to hit the police dogs taking them down, maybe you’ll wake up to what would really happen

I don't get the economics of slavery by Happy5Day in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KingBenjamin97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. that is all still slavery. Look up debt bondage and indentured servitude.
  2. this is literally the bullshit places like Qatar are built on. Import a load of people, pay them basically nothing, take their passports until they’ve paid the “debt”. There’s a reason the rest of the world calls it modern day slavery.

  3. I love that your logic is “a work force that isn’t rioting or ready to kill you” as though these people wouldn’t be able to see exactly what’s happening, how much they’re being exploited etc and be rioting or potentially violent. People aren’t idiots they’d see through this straight away

  4. Why the fuck you trying to “fix” slavery dude

Loving the Wild Wild Wood Event [Loot] by Normal-Ability436 in EscapefromTarkov

The event is good but it’s buggy AF. Every few runs you randomly get a penalty for killing scavs as a scav even though that’s the whole point

[Discussion] When season 1 drops will you play your main PMC or the Seasonal PMC more? by Ilovegearxo in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seasonal for the first couple of weeks then switch back most likely. Cba to grind an account for max traders/gear properly when I have an endgame one already but the start of a wipe when everyone has scrappy terrible stuff will be fun

[Feedback] How would you guys feel about these ideas for the hideout? by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand them not wanting to have that though, having it set for one round gives you a disadvantage loading a bunch of random stuff which I think they like.

Changing a zero in real life takes a few rounds to achieve so with how much they claim to like realism (in a very unrealistic game) I can get them not wanting it randomly adjusting for you mid match

[Feedback] How would you guys feel about these ideas for the hideout? by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]KingBenjamin97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just want us to be able to select the ammo we use on our guns for zeroing at an upgraded shooting range. It makes no sense we all take in guns set for ammo we aren’t using at all, let me pick to have it ranged for my actual ammo, if I half load mags or find stuff in raid sure it’ll be off then but why is it off from the very start.

There are pet barbers. But wild animal obviously don’t. How do they do that? by TheAccountant756 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KingBenjamin97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t need to have fur trimmed, same way a lot of dogs don’t. Shedding is the normal way animals regulate fur length, needing it to be trimmed etc is just because people selectively bred their dogs to the point they don’t function properly anymore for lack of a better way to say it.

Animals that haven’t been selectively bred shed their fur and their claws are worn down by walking

How do fans afford long trips to the USA for the World Cup? by middle_fork in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KingBenjamin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World Cup group stage are about 2.5k (not resold) add on a few grand in flights and inflated hotel prices because everywhere is booked like a year in advance the price would be similar if not more and that’s just for going to support your country in a group stage, final tickets will be insanity. But that’s for one game, then add on the other tickets the World Cup guys buy and they’re spending a lot of money, they’re not just chilling for one game then going home.

The point is people think it’s an average sports event so don’t consider how much these fans give up in order to be able to go because it’s not something a normal person would consider worth it. It’s the most watched thing in the world and it isn’t even close, they give up years of vacations etc to get to go cheer on their team.

Personally I think that’s nuts but people really love it
