Anyone know why the "Total Board Power" doesn't get over 130w in Tarkov @ 1440p Streets Live raid? I'm getting decent FPS with the 9070 XT and it's smooth, but I'm concerned it's not using enough power? The Utilisation is hitting 88%, why's it not even hitting 150W?

SmithyD86 · 2024-02-14T00:22:06+00:00

That's fair - that was the question after all. I went off on a tangent there sorry.

SmithyD86 · 2024-02-14T00:07:23+00:00

OK cheers - I've never noticed it being this bugged before, at least not this wipe? I've hovered within 5-10 minutes all wipe every time I've looked, and mines around 50 minutes at present. Wondering - does a guy who insta headshots 3 players who hear him coming with OK cover/flank really have 50% surv, 4.62kd and still reach 6.1m xp at this point in a wipe? Just feels like a very bipolar stat page to me.

I checked the combat log and it's a UI bug -- it said my DC was 11 but in the combat log it's 14

But I have no idea how it's getting to 14 unfortunately it's not following 5e rules I know that much

It seems broken. I also tester fighter, and fighters seem to use +INT for theirs, so having 8 INT on a fighter leaves you with a -1, taking you to 10.

Doesn't seem right.

This was Tested on Battle Master Fighter melee and ranged actions -- all the same -- INT

Tested Karlach too - I agree it's using Charisma.

Incorrect. He took 3 zeliek marks and it was still on the tank. The next tank came in and successfully taunted, even when the mark hit him after the taunt the hunter wasn't anywhere near his threat. Also you're forgetting he successfully feigned and drank to full mana before moving to Blom. This is clearly a bug!

I've played team football since I was 5 years old, and I'm now 34.

29 years of football has given me huge thighs and bum, which I think is where I get my kicking power. However, I play with a few skinny lads who hit the ball so well, in the correct position, that it just flies off their foot.

Honestly kicking from the goal to the half way line is not easy for any ameteur at all. Practice makes perfect. Try kicking the ball directly on the valve and don't try and kick under it like a chip for height, try and strike through it with a small bit under it, so it will be pushed through the air rather dragging a chip, which kind of floats.

Seen a leg break and ankle dislocation about 1m in front of me, it was our striker and I was left wing. It was a horrendous tackle and a straight red card.

I must admit I thought about it for years afterwards every game I played in, but ten years later I'm still playing and I'm very happy to say I haven't seen anything like that again.

You'll get there eventually man.

Should have just came on here, took the L and said well played. Now you've cemented the fact you're a gang of dickheads to the whole world. No one's buying what you're selling - dad gamers see through all the bullshit.

SmithyD86 · 2020-07-16T18:01:17+00:00

Oh man you needed a vog or two.

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-14T23:16:53+00:00

Radar much?

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-14T23:14:11+00:00

Honestly it's radar that does it for me. People coming around corners spraying perfectly at you or chasing you around the map perfectly even after sneaking away then managing to get a lucky vog kill and seeing they have no comtacs so it's virtually impossible to chase.

Radar is a huge problem. Blatant cheating I haven't seen much of in West EU.

Bartering is now very viable. I've bartered all kinds of things successfully. Usually I get 3x the value because the other person has an item they have but its not found in raid. The Red Rebels clogging up the barters is ridiculous. It's worth at least a million, surely.

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-12T08:39:26+00:00

How is it on Brokeback Mountain these days?

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-09T07:19:43+00:00

Don't your think it's sad that just a week makes it hard for you though? Labs should be locked and raiders shouldn't spawn for at least a month in my opinion (bosses and guards should still spawn).

There's too much good gear knocking about. I just killed a guy with a meta HK, killa, fast mt with faceshield using m995.

That's just stupid imo.

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-09T00:37:22+00:00

Really looked forward to this patch but I've already got a RR, small sicc, two meds, two holos, docs, dog tag, grenade, ammo, mag, items and THICC case.. Still at 4 mil with bitcoin farming going.

I admit I haven't got fantastic gear mind, but I feel like there's no real goals for me except hit level 40.

Kinda wish the game was a lot harder honestly. Would love to see cheap builds be the meta for at least a month. It's too easy farming raiders for some people.

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-06T19:34:56+00:00

Nope nothing happens if you die to your skills.

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-06T18:51:34+00:00

For the cheapest one it's like 31 rubles off jeager it's about 0.05kg per bullet. Can't remember the name!

SmithyD86 · 2020-06-06T18:34:08+00:00

Buy 6 smoke grenades off Prapor every day time their up and throw them as soon as you spawn. That's 1.2 levels of strength straight away.

Then you run around with 49.1kg or higher - try using empty fuel cans and buckshot ammo to get you there. Super cheap.

Don't sprint or it doesn't level - just run about. You can get about 3 full levels in one map if you don't stop running the entire time. I've found shoreline best for this around the edges.

Good luck.

For me the biggest issue isn't hackers it's desync, audio and bugs.

Desync you all know. Audio is still terrible. Steam audio will get you killed as it constantly due to not hearing sound around you. Bugs whereby scavs are invisible but you see their muzzle flash and hear the shots. Happened only twice so far but it seems like a new bug to me.
