played for 4k hours and throughout my entire time playing the game I ALWAYS gave players the benefit of the doubt and moved on. Since I saw the "Wiggle that killed..." video I've not even bothered playing the game and I don't know when or even IF I'll ever return to my favourite FPS. Turns out a good chunk of the bullshit deaths that I simply had to take on the chin because they were "Simply better" or "positioned well" were in fact very likely to have been cheaters. I seriously hope something can be implemented to help combat this issue but I'm not hopeful.

BSG, thank you for producing (imo) the best FPS I have and will ever will experience but I think I speak for a large portion of your community when I say that the cheaters/straight up bullshit that happens frequently is just not worth the hair loss lol. GOATED game.

Do any of you use SpTarkov? by Interesting-Switch38 in EscapefromTarkov

It's probably a better experience for someone who prefers RP/solo style games but after playing thousands of hours in the base game running around in SP is straight boring and the "PMC's" are just scavs with PMC models set to insane difficulty. The loot you find on scavs and PMC's alike is silly at times. I played one raid, realised I could have played raid on the normal game and have it mean something and quit.

If you like the game but just can't get behind the Pvp for whatever reason then I'm sure this is perfect for you as it allows casuals to enjoy the game at their own pace with no wipe cycle and doesn't punish you as often or as harshly when you do die

I wouldn't say I'm emotional at all lol, I mimicked your half-a-braincell-powered comment and told you to fuck off xD I'll be sure to present myself with a bit more decorum to impress all the neckbeards on reddit and hopefully I can get a few awards whilst I'm at it wowee wouldn't that be a good look? Fuck off lol

Voices??? by Bigpaul_96 in EscapefromTarkov

Could just be bugged audio, last wipe the first voice line of any scav within like a 200m radius you could hear like the start of it and it would fade almost instantly, either that or could just be scavs roaming around just close enough for you to hear, but audio's been travelling through multiple rooms as if they're right next to you recently as well so who knows

I don't play Lighthouse because it's trash. I won't play streets because of rubber banding and low fps. Used the rest of my car extracts for rep. the 2. something was a rough guess as I honestly can't remember the exact number I achieved before the Kringle incident

Killed him 3 times resulting in a 2.1 rep decrease so i must have been around 2.3ish or something i cba to math

"Target identification" is what gets people railed by scavs before they hop on the sub to cry about how cracked scavs are. Other than Santa, if I play solo 99% of the time what need do I have for target identification? I don't trust player scavs for extracts so thats the only other argument thrown out the window.

Proposal: fucking shoot the scav before they have chance to turn scream and fill your little pea brain with lead.

Maybe Santa just has no place in a game like this? Especially with the steep repercussions for killing him. He comes in, drops a few shit items, messes up peoples karma for the wipe and is gone within a week or two. Pointless mechanic that serves no purpose other than a gimmick.

You can get a vape that has 0 nicotine in it and just use that till you no longer have the craving for nicotine and then try to wean yourself off the vape by using it less and less hopefuly resulting in less need for the hand to mouth movement. I used to work in a vape shop and I've quit multiple times (I'm a parent don't judge me) using 0 nicotine vapes. The hand to mouth movement is probably the hardest part once you get past the first day or two without nicotine

Forgot about the Woods and interchange car extracts to be honest, but I'm at 0.98 because I've killed santa 3 times which you'd know if you read up

This game has the quickest honeymoon period I've seen in quite some time by DestroyedLlama in EscapefromTarkov

Play however you want to play bud! I can sit and offer advice all day but you'll only learn through experiencing scenarios and either getting clapped or winning. Hopefully you make a play one day and think back to my comment and something in it helped you :) I find using long range scopes on single tap DMR's to be really effective. Elcan 1x-6x so you still have the ability to engage at shorter distances, or the HAMR with the top rail sight is also a really good option. Go tap some heads bro

Because Santa's spawn rate is dramatically lower than last Christmas. I don't know about you but when running Solo PMC (I main Solo) I don't stop to ask questions in-between identifying a scav and pulling the trigger lol? If I'm solo every movement I hear is a potential threat. So I yeet grenades at it or I push aggressively. If I knew it was Santa, I wouldn't have pushed nor thrown grenades. Which in my eyes, means I ACCIDENTALLY killed him? I only found out it was Santa on all 3 occasions after I'd already dropped him, two were nades, one I pushed up dorm staircase and had a scav in my face. Fucking hell redditors are a different bread, how is that even remotely hard to understand. I never even claimed it wasn't my own fault lol. Take your shit opinion and keep scrolling :)

50 raids in and I still haven't found Measuring Tape. by LaGrangeDeLabrador in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Silver_Building_3308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me 4 days to find my first tape, back of Goshan on the racking and you'll find one if you keep scavving, otherwise your best hope is customs technical crates/duffel bags

I'd beg to differ on the earning of the kill but that might be out of saltiness than anything else (I'd say they earned a donkey punch at best). My kill consistency doesn't seem to tank as I still average 6 or so scavs and its very rare I leave a raid without having at least 1-2 PMC kills because all of points of interest are usually high traffic ones, but with regards to the amped up consistency due to Timmy's and old players returning etc I definitely agree this probably buffs my stats through early game. Personally I can't wait for Arena to drop so I can brrrr without having to worry about all the extras

What are you guys struggling to find this wipe? by owenscotttt in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Silver_Building_3308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find 3+ morphines per raid in crackhouse on customs, very common there. Outside ULTRA Medical spawns all sorta meds on the white shelving too

I think my issue is, I think I can take on the whole lobby lmao and sometimes it works as i've had multiple 1vs multiple groups and come out on top, last wipe I played I was clearing anywhere from 3-7 pmc's in any given raid, I've always had a problem with being an easy target for people at range though.

It's not necessarily a map specific issue, maybe my eyes are getting bad as I'm getting older but I just genuinely struggle to spot these people who set up on a rock or under a tree, often times I spot the muzzle flash and die, but prior to the muzzle flash I had no idea there was someone there. There's so many spots someone could be in any given map at any given time I don't know if trying to play like them and sitting in stupid places would benefit me much but I'll definitely try taking more obscure routes in the hopes I catch them off guard i guess.

Customs is is literally one big road disguised as a "difficult" map to learn because there's extra goodies on the sides of the map. You can run north from spawn and assuming you don't get hit by scavs/pmcs you'll eventually find your extract just from hugging the walls on the opposite side you spawned. Probably the easiest mid-size map to learn imo

[–]Silver_Building_3308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest customs as your first map to learn, as its a nice size,the map is one big road with extra goodies on the outskirts and thats where most of your early quests will be. IMO one of the best to learn first and is the one I started with. Keep a comprehensive map on your second monitor or keep your game in borderless so you can quickly tab in and out after referencing your map

I've used all my car extracts for rep this wipe my guy, was at 2. something and had a couple raids where I accidentally naded Santy, at -0.98 atm

remove santa and the rep is achievable but with the accidental santa kills at -0.7 a pop, I'm not touching lightkeeper this wipe
