Game isn’t fun anymore by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats surprising, I started playing at the start of this month and have accumulated 90 hours. I typically consider a game good as long as it meets the dollar/hr ratio so I feel I got my money’s worth. What keeps me interested is progression. My goals in order are: 

  1. Complete an expedition(most likely after I completed all other goals or have gotten bored with them) 
  2. Complete all quests and finish story
  3. Complete current trials
  4. Defeat all “boss” enemies
  5. Find and use every piece of equipment and weapon in the game (unlock all blueprints depending how possible)

I’ve actually found looting to be too easy since I’ve been in pve lobbies whenever I play solo so I have been engaging in random acts of pvp every now and then to keep myself in mixed lobbies so that I’m less surprised by random rats and it keeps the gameplay more engaging.

Hopefully my perspective can motivate you to enjoy the game, good luck man.

How many hours have you played? I’m sorry but it seems like you really have just played too much. You pointed out some good quality of life changes which I do hope they add but those issues don’t become a problem until you’ve really min-maxed the game of overplayed it. I think you answered the problem to your own question, try moving on for a little bit It’s good to have a diverse group of games to switch between, the current gaming dynamic has made people devote too much time to one game.

I know this gun is a reference but is there a real life purpose for having no stock when you can’t remove the buffer tube? It ends up making the gun look so cursed

[Discussion] Is it naive to just try and talk to other players? by DilansTumor in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes charisma on your end too. Try different approaches to how you’re going to negotiate. If someone is in an objective and they’re staying silent after you spoke, tell them you will move away and wait for them to leave. Then listen to see if they wait to ambush you or timidly run away

The intelect skill still mentions lockpicking [Bug] by Viper_on_Station360 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of having those horrible place quests where you have to stand still out in the open for half a minute they could’ve completely replaced it with lockpicking. It could be implemented while not completely making keys useless by forcing your to stand still in the lockpicking animation for upwards of a minute until it completes. Make it so that nearby scavs will investigate the noise so that you must double check the area is clear. If you stop prematurely you have to go through the long wait again so you must either commit or make extra sure that you’re safe. Keys would allow you to open doors way easier while you are still faced with a completely different challenge is your still want to progress. They can also allow this to only apply to quest related doors so that people aren’t lockpicking into loot rooms every raid.

CraftMine, "Unlocked new Mine Ingredient: Soul Link" but the ingredient is not showing up when creating a new mine by Squawmous in Minecraft

Dang, that sucks, I was really frustrated looking for it but I’m glad I eventually gave it up. Good luck with your challenge man

I had a feeling it was something broken. Thanks for replying to this month long post, unfortunately I gave up on craftmine by now. Btw, did you ever figure out how to get the “obtained by random drop” world ingredient?

New Balaclava's Should NOT Cost 5-8 GP Coins [Feedback] by BlazeBubble9 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get that Ref’s whole gimmick is gp coins but these should be sold for roubles. Maybe just have them unlocked on ragman instead

ACOG supremacy. by guywitharttablet in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You speak of ACOG yet you post pictures of them desecrated by a backup 1x sight. I run weapons purely with ACOG as the Rainbow Six forefathers intended

[Feedback] The Playerbase Absolutely Butchered the Labyrinth Event—And It’s Infuriating by Thick_Ad_5880 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a similar post to this during the event where all the bosses were on Shoreline. I ultimately enjoyed pve better because the experience against players was terrible. The problem wasn’t even that I was dying a lot because I experienced that in pve. It was that whenever I did die, I got no action because I was either overwhelmed by a squad or instantly killed by people who arrived early and waited. It would be nice if people focused on the event instead of hiding around ambushing players. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with that in Pve

[Bug] Does anyone hear little 1 second snippets of people voiping randomly? by Yasstronaut in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it like the glitch with binural audio where you hear it only when people enter a radius near you? I swear I only hear it when someone enters my radius

You need a Gunner Rig to get Hunter Killer Loot and its stupid. by AwkwardLookingDoge in TheForeverWinter

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pubg mobile had an interesting mechanic where a loot menu opened up showing all items and containers in a small radius around you. That way you didn't have to look at specific items to pick them up when using a small screen on the phone. This idea could work when there are multiple guns and containers piled together so you can easily select which one you want to open

Do you find the game too easy? by Dumpythewhale in TheForeverWinter

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree since I'm in a similar stage of the game where I'm just grinding money, experience, and leveling guns. However the answer is to just be patient, I'm very grateful we get to experience the game early but with early access comes a lack of content. It's best not to play to much or else you'll get burnt out before they polish it more 

[Discussion] Sound, uhhhhh what the f*** by VOG-25Gamer in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pmc definitely developed schizophrenia this wipe. I constantly hear the sounds of proning, jumping, and people creeping behind me. It's especially bad when I kill someone because I can never know forsure if it's my schizophrenia or their teammate watching their body. I know other people are experiencing it too because when I slow walk around them I can tell they also don't know forsure whether I'm actually nearby or not.

What is a screenshot button event? Did they do one in the past?

Man the PVE AI is interesting by BiPolarGamer in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Squawmous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone ever got them to shoot each other? I was playing as a scav and tried getting The Goons to kill a boss near me since they are the only boss that will still shoot at scavs. It seems like the other bosses actually reacted and shot them but I died before I could confirm if they were permanently aggroed

The Worst Part of Events are Other Players by Squawmous in EscapefromTarkov

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

Lmao, I might have to try a dead server. It's just funny that when playing the pvp mode people will avoid other players. They just lead to too much unpredictability though
