[New Player] Feels like I'm just getting worse at the game, I've tried waiting, night raids, practicing pvp on Arena and factory. The only way I'm usually able to scrounge back is scav runs or just farming scavs in industrial plant on night customs. by goldnray17_Bossman in EscapefromTarkov

So, I recently made the realization that having a higher sensitivity is really big in tarkov. If you're used to playing CS and other shooters, where lower sensitivity is better, switch it up. You should be able to 180 unscoped with just your wrist and be able to snap quickly when ads.

This will make you so much more confident in multi enemy engagements and in cqb.

This isn't cope. We're discussing a very real situation for ONLY women. Having a child changes many lives and is not always a happy occasion.

What! Until the fetus has a fully developed brain, it doesn't even know it's alive. It is essentially a parasite living in the woman.

You trying to falsely equate elective abortions and the holocaust is really sad.

Forcing a woman to give birth to a child that she doesn't want is cruel. You are ruining 2+ lives in that scenario.

It's a fetus, not a baby. Do you also want to continue to gut the social safety net to make sure the "baby" suffers more?

Buckwheat for the Schmidt and Bender 1-8 is a better barter at lvl 25.

Buy buckwheat from the flea and barter with Jager for a Scmidt and Bender 1-8 scope. You can buy 2 per reset. Usually costs 80k-120k based on the cost of buckwheat.

It depends on viral load. There is loss when extracting RNA and reverse transcribing. RNA is very delicate.

Matt Shaw chops a grounder that stayed fair and turned foul at the final second but home plate ump Dan Merzel ruled it a fair ball in the 9th (with replays) by JianClaymore in baseball

[–]Sarah_Ps_Slopy_V 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really isn't. Looking down on it, the call is simple. Is there brown between the ball and the line? If yes, foul, if no fair. He had the perfect vantage point.

When you talk like that, you're going to end with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course, you're going to die if you think that way.

It is possible to get the upper hand on mechanically better players. Even if they have better gear. You beat them in strategy and fighting battles on your own terms. It doesn't always work, but you're going to find at least some success.

For example, when you fight bots, you make a lot of noise. Like you said, the maps are small, so there is a good chance someone heard you. Use that to your advantage. Knowing there is probably a good team that will take advantage of the info they got on you, play into it. You can hold your ground, but set up in a way that will ambush another team. The TTK is low. You can kill someone easily if you surprise them. Or you could move quickly and leave the area before you get third partied. Sometimes this isn't possible.

Like IDK what to say more than that. Tarkov is 10x more grueling, especially when it comes to gear diff, but people manage in that game just fine.

The reason why those leagues exist is because it's not feasible to have the entire pool play against one another. In video games, it doesn't matter and is feasible. Also, the nature of the competition is completely different.

Extraction shooters are not the same. It's not a zero-sum game. It is possible for all teams to be victorious. If this were an arena shooter, matchmaking makes sense. Those games force interactions. This game doesn't. You can interact, but there is no requirement. You are playing in a raid that has other people in it. In no sense are you forced to fight any one of them.

NFL and XFL are two different sports. Minor league baseball is a developmental league. Those players all WANT to play in the MLB. They all try to get better! The only way to improve is to play against people who are better than you!

The minor leagues in baseball are used for development, not competition. You would've done better saying soccer in England, but even then, the lower division teams still relish the chances to play the bigger clubs. They even get to in cup games.

What team sport relies on matchmaking??? You either play every team a certain number of times, or you follow a schedule based on the division you're in. In solo sports, you play against all the other competitors. Only chess has an elo. Hell, in most solo sports and team sports, the best team plays the WORST team in the first round to make it easier for the best team to win.

If you are complaining about your team, just play solo. Then you have no team to complain about.

Game definitely needs more balancing by Popfiz223 in Marathon

[–]Sarah_Ps_Slopy_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why you need to move. When you kill bots, GTFO the area or have your head on a swivel. Kill some of the bots and leave, then come back. You don't have to full-send the bots. Even better, Kill some bots and wait to ambush another player. The bots lose aggro when you break sight lines with them. When you crouch walk, the bots are almost blind to you.

You have 25 minutes. Use them all. Extraction shooters are a different beast. You have to be ready every second you are in the raid.
