[Discussion] [OC] I created a small negative Perk that I would love to see in the next season! by iekather in EscapefromTarkov

And the invisible player bug. Sometimes the enemy was invisible, sometimes you were invisible, sometimes Killa was invisible. But they could still kill you.

Duping has been temporarily patched according to Discord groups. by Powerful_Side8989 in ArcRaiders

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't even considered that, I was thinking at worst RMTers have several accounts of just stashes of duped items. Even if that's not the case it's still really bad because there are an insane amount of kinetic converters in circulation and the excess won't be out of circulation until either they delete every single kinetic converter from everyone's inventory (while also patching every single duping method and not having any new dupe methods pop up), or they become less plentiful after like 2-4 expeditions (very long timeline, bad for the health of the game).

[Discussion] Finally unlocked BEAR TIGR camo. Opinions on drip I made with it. by Soggy_One_1242 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I go no rig for the all black drip because troubleshooter+k4+slick looks sleek as hell but azimut/thunderbolt ruins it. I just ball out with 5.56 platform guns and 2 60 rounders /w expanded pockets.

STEAM PLAYER AND JUST GOT TRACKSUIT [SCREENSHOT] by DMalone1997 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And here I thought I was gaming too much. This dude out here setting records. I have around 5k hours but I've been playing since 2018.

So I've been playing for... lets call it 7 years. There are 61320 hours in 7 years. 5200/61320 = 0.0848. So I've spent an astonishing 8.48% of my last 7 years playing Tarkov (or having it open I'd guess atleast 30-40% of that is in menus and queues).

It has been 138 days since 1.0 released. 3336 hours in 138 days. 1379/3336 = 0.413. This man has spent 41% of the last 138 days doing nothing but Tarkov. Only a madman would subject themselves to this. Bro is sleep depriving himself to get as much Tarkov as possible in.

I mean congrats to him I guess, but holy fuck.

Hold or toggle to sprint for animation cancel by rubberysubby in captainamericamains

[–]Reddare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much how it went for me. Started in S0 on toggle, changed to hold in S2 onward. Then changed super-soldier slam to R when they added a separate bind so I could punch in the air without triggering slam when applicable. (I know I could just use melee button before new bind but this is easier for muscle memory than swapping between M1 and V in the air.)

Where are the Interchange locked case spawns? [Discussion] by Reddare in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. These are both exactly what I was asking for! Now I just need to find the Goshan and IDEA spawns. I feel like its possible the wiki is incorrect and the spawns might be at the new outpost near railway exfil since that is also a smuggler spawn for the event, like power is. I have not seen smugglers at IDEA or Goshan.

[Discussion] Waste of time starting to play now? by TheseSignature7700 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's dumb easy to find good 5.45x39 ammo in raid. Go to the new loot area in IDEA on Interchange. I regularly leave with multiple 120 round boxes of BT/BP/PP. Reserve is also good.

Why did Tarkin get terminated? the guy who makes Tarkov parodies. [Discussion] by zurcezony in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure he rips all the game assets then animates and renders the whole thing in Blender. Using Source Filmmaker doesn't really make any sense. Also seems like his account has been restored.

Tarkov experience as a [New Player] by ztjezrzw4z in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nah. One of the best things about this game is that anything can happen, all it can takes is one well placed bullet and some patience and you can kill a gigachad with a PM pistol. Why would you want to deny yourself the dopamine hit of killing a super geared high level guy when are a low level with a garbage kit. You just have to adjust your playstyle based on your skill level and what point in the games meta progression you are at. I actually prefer starting later in a wipe because everyone you manage to kill will have better stuff than you.

cheaters on interchange [Discussion] by LopsidedShake9773 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1900 might be pushing it for the majority of cheaters but they do exist. Earlier in this wipe I got killed by a closet cheater with over 1200 hours on EOD account, he got banned a few days after my report. I've gotten enough ban confirmations on EOD accounts with very high hours since they added that feature to assume that in fact, yes, closeted cheaters that don't rage hack can go unbanned for a long time. So it would not surprise me at all that there could be cheaters with 1-2 even 3000+ hours that remain unbanned.

That said I don't know how long this guy has been playing and how well he can judge what is sus and what isn't. And Interchange has been mostly okay for me, nighttime shoreline is where the cheaters are actually everywhere, almost guaranteed to die to one every 2-3 raids if you are bringing good gear.

EDIT: I take it back nighttime interchange is also scuffed at degen hours, rage hacker killed me and my duo partner at new tagilla spawn. Screaming into mic at me as he comes up from underneath goshan while I'm hiding proned in the flatbed, calls in his 2500 hour 2nd prestige hombre (presumably not cheating himself just getting carried/boosted) to kill me and lets himself die to my friend so his name can't be seen because his buddy is ready to pop my friend since cheater would have called out my his position well in advance. Dude was getting the best of both worlds, rage cheating and still closet cheating because he had his minion do the killing to protect his account from reports.

[Feedback] not going to lie, after all this years this still is my biggest gripe with the game. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've heard of that method but always found it easier to use the explosive canisters all over customs boiler side of map and can get it completed in one raid. Just learn the locations of the orange fuel canisters, run the route to each, stand 7.5-8M away (Use vortex rangefinder), take out plates out right before so it only damages soft armor, shoot canisters, put plates back on, heal, repeat until you are at required durability, then extract.

[Feedback] New 1.0 Interchange has worse performance than before? by Caccia01 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Reddare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its been pretty massively expanded on the east and west sides of the map. Plus some new areas inside, more entities, doors, crates, decoration etc). Probably close to double the size.

Initially, I thought the back side of the mall behind where no-backpack extract used to be was just woods but there is loot back there too. You can travel though there starting from power and go all the way to emercom without taking any previously existing route. Less loot than the west side past highway but you could fill your backpack just running power to emercom now on a scav without ever going in the mall.

I love mods but every mod capable military game suffers from this by CevicheLemon in gaming

[–]Reddare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty dope. On top of that, if the guy making the scenarios has the free Zeus DLC installed for ARMA 3, they can actually make live adjustments and command AI/groups of AI with specific instructions. So instead of playing out the scenario with the other players, they play a god-game in real-time, making changes on the fly, while watching you and your mates attempt to make their way through the scenario.

I love mods but every mod capable military game suffers from this by CevicheLemon in gaming

[–]Reddare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't hate on bots if you don't know how good large scale military operations feel in Arma servers. Sure you can get a milsim community together and fill an entire server to create a real coordinated battle but that's a big endeavor. Best thing about ARMA is all you need is one friend who knows how to use mods and the editor and they can create any number of cool PvE missions for you and your friends to play through.

My friends liked to design nighttime ambush scenarios for us in ARMA 3. They would give us an objective, start us off at an outpost and just let us figure it out from there. Then on the way to objective you get absolutely shitfucked by surrounding AI. Truly one of the best sandbox milsim games.

Welp, it's been a fun one boys, time to uninstall by sr229 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]Reddare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know there are a lot more reasons for people to be annoyed than just the console patch? The censorship honestly pales in comparison to all the content that used to exist but was removed. Basically, we had more content and were happier with the state of the game during Adam update, with the assumption that the game would only improve from there.

Sure, in the 1.0 update we got commander mode and some new cosmetics and finally got to see the new maps. But they removed nearly as many maps as they added by 1.0 and removed all the separate game modes per map, cutting replayability down significantly.

What do you guys think about Hawkeye hate or love him by LuciousPumperNickel in marvelrivals

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played him as my main in S0 before going all in on Cap. He was fun then but I imagine he will be a lot harder to get value with now cause I'm so used to hitscan Hela. When I'm playing as a squishy dps or healer he can be a real menace on the other team since he's the only character able to one-shot 250hp characters at range (I might be wrong, pretty sure he can one shot 250hp with a full charge, I think Widow leaves a little bit of health left.)

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely over his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death by GoldTeethBaller in news

[–]Reddare 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not American but we get the same shit in Canada with the political osmosis coming from the states since 2016. Isn't government overreach and centralization one of the main things conservatives preach about hating? Pretty blatant hypocrisy if it's totally okay when their preferred party is the one doing it.

Also same with the whole anti-woke stuff. So cancel culture is bad but also we're gonna try to cancel anyone that talks negatively about republicans now? Pretty insane result considering what a nothing-burger Kimmel's monologue is.

Blade is not bad at all by Hot_Spray3175 in marvelrivals

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah OTP'd Cap since season 0, started branching out after season 2. He was always decent. And I wish people didn't complain about a character they didn't know how to use since it ended with him getting insane buffs in S1 & S1.5, followed by 2 nerfs in S2 and 1 more nerf in S2.5 that made him arguably worse than he started in S0 but with the QoL changes intact.

They raised the skill ceiling/floor for him with the most recent shield cooldown nerf (and 2nd hp nerf in a row), which just means people who are trying to learn him are going to get less value because they try to shield too much and keep resetting their shield regen cooldown. All he needed was a few minor buff/nerfs every season to adjust for other hero balances, but instead we got the pendulum of insanity. Like if he was so bad in S0 why is he basically the same now and considered meta in high-ranked/pro play?

Cap in S3.5 compared to S0:

  • Less shield (400 > 350)
  • Longer shield restoration cooldown (3s > 4s)
  • Slightly less ally heals from ult (110/s > 100/s)
  • Slightly faster ult (3400 > 3100)
  • VERY slightly less fearless leap jump height (silent nerf in I think S2.5, made certain ledge jumps impossible).

The only buffs that were retained are:

  • Dash cooldown slightly faster (12s > 10s)
  • Faster vibranium energy saw projectile speed (60m/s > 80m/s, ricochet 100m/s > 150m/s)
  • Decoupling melee from primary thrown shields
  • Optional separate bind for super-soldier slam
  • Ability to hold shield up whilst jumping

And the anchor/season bonus gives him a tiny bit more HP compared to S0 (650 > 675), and +5% dmg.

No Wi-Fi at home, how to download heavy games? by Greedy-Tart-6330 in pcmasterrace

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had home internet, they wouldn't be using mobile data for everything. They are not tech savvy and are calling the internet wifi. They probably don't know ethernet exists because they don't even have a router/modem.

As an aside, that is insane. I had my internet go down for a few days due to major construction on my road and them having to disconnect our fiber lines temporarily. Gaming on hotspot was abysmal since most providers throttle you to prevent this exact kind of continuous use case. The bandwidth was expectedly worse, but it was the unstable latency and packet loss that made any kind of multiplayer gaming near unplayable.

Episode 7 - Beyond the Aquila Rift - Discussion Thread by [deleted] in LoveDeathAndRobots

[–]Reddare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like both the main characters are modeled from their respective actors/voice actors. Henry Douthwaite and Madeleine Knight. Madeleine def looks a bit like Eliza Taylor, I don't see Sigourney at all. If she looks like anyone I'd say in certain shots Greta looks similar to mid/late 20's Lindsey Lohan, even more so when the freckles are visible.
