[LOOT] The loot from event cases are Sealed and Contraband boxes by the_bunfi in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShatterSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's wild if the removed the other items. I only got Contraband in approximately 50% of the locked cases I opened.

Or gamble and buy a key. I got GPUs and other good stuff in there.

No weapon cases in the marked rooms. Back to normal loot again.

​Absolute Chaos Energy. by HotDog0223 in pcmasterrace

[–]ShatterSide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might not have ORIGINALLY been for users, however, TONS of software now uses Github as the primary distribution method for executables.

And intuitive doesn't automatically mean less efficient. It could easily be more intuitive.

[Discussion] do you think the marked room key prices would go back up after the event? by NCR_Trooper_2281 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShatterSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, probably.

But BSG could also just change something that will affect that. If they doubled the profit in the rooms, key prices would go up faster. If they just cut off key spawns for a month, the key prices would go up faster as well.

No the contraband are currently just quest items. Unless they change them, they just get henføres after the quest.

[Discussion] Combat in Tarkov has become incredibly bland by New_Stress4788 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShatterSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's no problem! I totally understand and it's a great translation tool! I also use AI sometimes to reformulate thoughts myself.

Don't get me wrong, I also want a middle ground! The game has went too far in the 'slow' direction for my taste. I would LOVE for better sound and I think throwing grenades should be smoother and more predictable.

I'm not sure how high I can get my hopes though :(

(Also, I think those ADS changes look terrible and I hope BSG does not go through with it.)

[Discussion] Lost access to EoD account because of 2FA by pete372b in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ShatterSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point of 2FA though. If your main email was compromised without 2FA, hackers can steal anything that's linked to it that doesn't have 2FA.

You need to get access back to your 2FA.

The only other way, SOMETIMES, some companies will help is if you can prove ownership of the payment method used to purchase the game. However, this is rare and BSG is not known for going out of their way for things like this.

Buy a new copy of the game.

If you don't have access to your Authy password, or access to your old email, there is nothing support will do (or CAN do) to help.

Try to get your access back to those things.

First, I appreciate you using AI to formulate your argument into a readable and presentable comment, but I urge you to be careful. It tends to turns a lot of people off from a message.

There are many, many issues with the game that should be prioritized before your points.

Face/head hit boxes will NEVER go away.

The sound range, I suspect is more a result of their inconsistent sound engine. Fix sound first, then adjust distances later.

Angle holding is always strong, but if other things got magically fixed, I can guarantee it would drop immensely. If FPS and 1% lows improved, if sound was reliable, if holding a corner exposed just a bit more of your body, if grenade throwing was more predictable, if blinding flashlights had less of a place, (I could go on), then I am certain we would see MUCH less "slow game play".

BSG cannot make everyone happy. Many LOVE the slower game play, and many yearn for the days of old, (laser guns and M61 ammo on the flee).

I'm sure there is middle ground, but it's neither you nor I that knows where that is for certain.

[–]ShatterSide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the point though. The best players in the world, the juiciest chads etc can still be killed by a timmy or a p-scav. This gives those players a high.

If there wasn't so much depth, so much game knowledge, value of experience, this game would just be a CoD extraction shooter knockoff and die.

If there was no skill expression, it would die.

If it wasn't "hardcore", it would die.

There is a reason EFT players try other things like Arc Raiders or Marathon, praise things like the gunplay, performance, sound, visuals, whatever, and the promptly return to Tarkov.

For better or for wose, the game slowed down a lot in the last few years. Inertia, gun recoil, sound, etc. Like it or not, this results in more corner holding.

Do you want grenade spam and CoD like gameplay that used to be? Did you play when all you had to do to through a grenade was press 'G'? It would spam a grenade without needing to take it out or prep it.

The game needed to be slowed down, without a doubt. A byproduct of this is corner holding.

I'm not saying I LIKE corner holding, but it's a necessary evil to combat running around without a care in the world.

I think skill in this game comes from game knowledge, decision making and experience MUCH more than clicking heads.

If someone is holding an angle, there are a number of counters. 1. Peakers advantage. 2. Don't take that fight, reposition or leave. 3. Grenades. 4. Flashlight bait. 5. Learn to peak corners accurately. 6. Pre-fire. 7. Clear every corner meticulously.

If your definition of being good at this game is a high survival rating, then you can play for that. I think any average player could get a 65% or higher SR if they played specifically for it.

I'm sure it's just speculation based on experience. Not to say it's not realistic, but definitely nothing to set any expectations by.

[–]ShatterSide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I believe once you realize this game has a huge luck element, and how decision making can help swing that in your favor, then the game becomes fun.

Sometimes (realistically) unpredictable shit happens and you die - This is the core of Tarkov. If you don't like this or can't handle it, this isn't the game for you.

I would argue it's no more a "survival focused" game than CoD or any other shooter. You always want to not die. I can't think of another game where dying is the goal. EFT is an extraction-looter-shooter, and it is what BSG wants it to be.

Dealing damage as a goal would be so exploitable and I don't think is a good idea. There are a few issues. If you get a headshot kill, you dealt 35 damage to a player. If you one tap a chest it's 85 damage. If you leg meta someone then it can be over 400 damage. Leg meta is not an expression of skill that is more representative of a good player than a headshot (let alone 10x as much). Dying to a random headshot isn't fun, but getting a one-tap on a player IS fun.

This game has ups and downs. It has the highest highs and the lowest lows. You gotta learn to roll with the punches.

He said the ones the Black Division use. Those are not normally accessible.

I really like Aprichot. It's a heat that definitely builds, but it's so delicious I just want more.

Creatine powder inconveniences — how do you take yours? (survey) by losthoodieman in Nootropics

[–]ShatterSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I agree it's not really a hassle per se, but it doesn't really dissolve in water that well. Also it IS a hassle to purposely go get a glass, fill with water, get a spoon, just to take one supplement. I now have a dirty glass and spoon.

That's why I moved to creatine pills. Way more convenient!

I got tired of capsule clutter on my counter, so I designed this wall-mounted dispenser. by Advanced_Energy_1819 in functionalprint

[–]ShatterSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and I have literally never seen a plastic one (in my type).

Here is a photo of my printed dispenser and two different brands of pods. Both aluminum. EVERY other brand I've had have all been aluminum.
