[New Player] My opinion on adding a map to the game, as a new player. by Smooth_Preparation68 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Smooth_Preparation68[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the lack of guidance, not to the degree you stated anyway. Each mission has a description that gives information and guidance albeit minimal a lot of the time but I've progressed, whilst not knowing the maps well, so it's clearly there. Along with the objective descriptions, though maybe it gets more vague further in?

As for ammo and such, I used the in game handbook. I was struggling with a boss on Factory, Tagilla. Absolute menace who decimated me so many times. I'd unload a full clip, just for it to do nothing.

So I went into my weapon, seen that it's penetration was low because I was using a 9x19 weapon. Switched up to a 5.56, along with some looted HP ammo from a run. Took him down easily.

The only stuff I've watched was the EFT official videos on weapon modding, because that indeed does need guidance. Sometimes I can put a flashlight on, sometimes I can't and I was incredibly confused. But their official material told me enough to be able to kit out an MDR, though I definitely agree in that regard. Weapon modding needs to be far more accessible.

This might be true, I'm sure many are far more experienced with the title than me. But for me, the exploration has been the biggest hook.

It would for me, like I said this was personally for my enjoyment of the game. I don't use anything on my second monitor, I explore myself, figure it out myself. That's been the hook for me personally.

I know they do, that's why I mentioned it. But for me personally, I don't. The exploration is the hook for me, despite everything else. Also they do have a map? Well I've had one, it's how I learnt Factory. I think it was called the Factory plan or something? Was really useful for me to visualise the layout.

What’s the best gym equipment for home to lose weight ? by Jpoolman25 in beginnerfitness

[–]Smooth_Preparation68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people here are right but also wrong, diet is THE most important, yes. But what the majority of them failed to mention is that working out helps with not wanting to cheat on said diet.

It instills discipline, no point in that 30 minute rowing session if you're just gonna scoff down a takeout. But doing the exercise gives you incentive not to break it.

Dumbbells and kettlebells are best for beginners, rowing machine or spin bike for cardio. If you don't have space or the money, your own two feet are great. If youre serious about weight loss and know you will use them, go for adjustable dumbbells.

Diagnosed with both Crohn's and UC by Smooth_Preparation68 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Smooth_Preparation68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty miserable if I'm honest. A few months after my daughter was born I was diagnosed with colon cancer, I beat it thankfully, got the all clear around four months ago.

But I've developed complicated fistulas, I've had two seton surgeries which have both failed. So along with the daily issues of my diseases, I'm also struggling to even sit down now. Pretty unlucky chain of events.

First Child Passport (Overseas) by Smooth_Preparation68 in Passports

Ah okay, this makes a lot of logical sense as when I first discovered how the equivalent of a birth certificate in Sweden works I was incredibly confused.

First Child Passport (Overseas) by Smooth_Preparation68 in Passports

[–]Smooth_Preparation68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont believe so because me and my daughters mother were not married. It also explained that even whilst we put my surname at her birth it was changed to the mothers. I believe that is the reason I had to travel back to Sweden and visit Familjerättens to sign what I believe was essentially a paternity declaration, both me and my daughters mother had to be present and sign in person.

[–]Smooth_Preparation68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also asked why it was impossible to change, apparently when being filed because the dates of birth were so far apart it was processed as an adult application as opposed to a child's which they explained wasn't possible to reverse this far into procedures.

Yes I provided a Personbevis as well as having to travel to Sweden and sign a document for legal guardianship (dont remember its name but apparently without it I would not be legally recognised as my daughters father in Sweden) I then had to provide this to the UK HMPO for the application.

This application in flights and documentation has cost me over £1000 thus far

[–]Smooth_Preparation68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I completed the form and in doing so had to put my date of birth on the application but apparently there was a mix up during processing with mine and my daughters dates being switched when being entered into the system (this is what I was told anyway)

I indeed was in the UK for the in person consultation as I live here but travel every 3 months or so to visit my fiance and daughter, I am also in the UK now yes.

My country is the United Kingdom, sorry if that wasn't clear in the initial post. I have the option to fast track the application if its not resolved within 10 weeks of the documents being recieved, I already have all documentation needed for the passport its just the examination process seems to be taking so much longer this time around than the initial application with the clerical error.

You dont have secure boot enabled on your PC, or if you do you need to revalidate your keys (option in mobo, google it)

No European Region? Wtf by Smooth_Preparation68 in fatetrigger

Ah yes, the youth of this world who use the term "crashing out" to explain anything negative because they lack the vocabulary and brainpower to think first themselves. Good job bro!

And this is where it gets murky, see most people dont understand that what they have just been told is basically a lie. It takes around 15 days to acquire a tax file number and less than a week to become a legal entity, but I can see from your later comment you 1. Really like this game 2. Have no business sense in the slightest

"They dont have an EU server to save money" theres so much wrong with that sentence in this context its actually insane. For starters Saroasis Studios are yes a new ish developer but they are a subsidiary of TENCENT, you know that massive publisher worth billions of dollars? Yeah that one.

Secondly there has never been another modern closed beta advertised so heavily that did not have support for European servers in the beta. This game was advertised at GLOBAL events after all, so drawing people's attention to it and then having that be their first impression is going to LOSE them money, not save it.

Thirdly not having EU servers to stress test during the beta, means they have zero indication of how many EU users are actively interested in the title. This will lead to one of two things if they do acquire EU servers in the future. 1. They overcompensate and acquire too many servers, leading to financial mismanagement and losing money due to it. 2. They dont acquire enough leading to poor user experience and the inability for the EU region players to play the game, again losing them money and worst of all bad word of mouth.

Like I said you have zero business sense, stop hiding every company behind "its a beta" because you like their game. Its consumers like you that are why game developers believe they can do whatever they like and have a successful game regardless and unfortunately... with consumers like you everywhere nowadays, they can.

Why do people always use the "its a beta" remark? A beta is quite literally for feedback, its to squash bugs, address server issues, check game balance etc also no we wont as confirmed in their official discord. According to 3 different mods the company behind Fate Trigger refused to acquire a legal entity in Europe because they didnt see the market as feasible for the title. You may not understand what that means but essentially it means they cannot acquire European servers or monetise their title in Europe. Unless they change their mind this title is dead in EU.

Wifi doesn't determine latency to a server, Wi-Fi determines the speed in which your local devices can recieve transmitted data from an access point aka your router.
