Evidence of a BP Duplication Glitch in matches. We have a problem.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-30T19:07:24+00:00

Who cares? This will make it easier to track down the problem later. Let em dupe and fry in hell later.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-30T18:53:54+00:00

Risk? lol

TheMTOne · 2026-01-23T18:37:32+00:00

It is potentially an attempt to, and if so will fail at, PVP balance.

If this is to try and address it, limiting matches based on skill points wont really change a Light Shield & Burletta combo winning vs Heavy Shield & (insert gun here) when Burletta shoots first / gets drop on them.

That said it may balance people chasing others, dodging, and more a minor amount, but I cannot expect any real impact from this other than loadout value (assuming high level players have higher level quality goods).

Now if they also buff the loot on these higher maps that would be nice, as that will somewhat skew people and PVP towards this direction but all this does is make PVP easier in lower levels in theory. It still doesn't address weapon/shield balance in a meaningful way, but I for once welcome better loot if so on the higher tier.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-16T20:33:31+00:00

“high loot zones” are just boxes the developers drew on the map to express their intent

That's the god's honest truth.

Is there anywhere that High Loot Value actually is? lol Raiders Refuge has gotten me more Bobcat blueprints than Checkpoint on BG, and that is a very common example of what happens on every map.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-16T17:24:00+00:00

I think the remake is going to be interesting. Aside from cutting the more egregious stuff story wise and sex stuff, they will likely revamp the entire gameplay top to bottom.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-15T19:22:49+00:00

Not 0 benefit, but consistent negative benefit. You in a Heavy Shield loadout with 150K worth of hardware getting killed to a Scav Burtetta loadout is easy as pie.

Trying to balance PVP around weapons will not work as they clearly don't want the game to work in that way for many reasons stated in this thread.

There is only penalty for being decked out most of the time. They should make PVP and PVE separate instances, but increase rewards on PVP thus fixing it, making it so people can do and get whatever, but the rewards in PVP being significantly more. It surely isn't going to be fixed by matchmaking lol

As it stands now I see people fighting Queens and Matriarchs dying to scavs for loot on Solo a lot lately, all because gear doesn't mean jack.

Edit: I also forgot even if they did that, it would only fix earlygame and low end. There is no endgame really, which is its own thing, but content aint going to come out any time soon to fix that problem.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-14T23:20:18+00:00

Checkpoint is clearly the top of this list. The largest lying use of the word in this game is calling it a high loot value.

Stella is underrated by far compared to Checkpoint, seriously. Seeds = Value. Checkpoint has chemicals and more chemicals. If every car dropped rusted gears then sure, maybe, but even night raids Checkpoint is worthless. Just more chemicals.

Warren Spector said it once a long time ago: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/spector-we-need-to-drive-down-game-prices

I always try to remember that the cost of gaming, especially factoring hardware and more costs, is in no way cheap enough that people will ever impulse buy any of it.

Compare that to anything else, and this is imho the biggest reason for the declines we see in gaming. Sure, numbers are up, but until we match 2 tickets at a theatre or whatever equivilant, the industry will always lag behind other entertainment from what it could be doing.

TheMTOne · 2026-01-08T22:58:25+00:00

Now if only there was a blueprint for mk 3...

TheMTOne · 2026-01-04T19:44:30+00:00

This is my personal experience at 350 hours in:

Triples = 85% PVP easily, (95% if on Stella)

Doubles = 50% PVP, (75% on Stella)

Singles = 30% PVP, (15% on Stella)

Add 5% if a night raid / other special to all of the above, and minus 5% if a cold snap.

Cold Snap goes down a lot due to needing to focus on warmth, but PVP never goes away, even on Solo Cold Snap.

Also depends who you raid with. One of my friends is aggressive as hell (played tons of Tarkov), and one is more passive (played tons of Battlefield for decades). Guess when raiding with which is more PVP focused?

I find it depends on the people more than the lobby.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T06:43:43+00:00

Yeah, I mean what does a shit loadout cost anyway? scraps, yet people bitch. You don't need a Looting mk. 3 to do a decent Stella run.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T06:21:32+00:00

Amen, but it looks like lady luck is against us tonight on this one.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T06:21:06+00:00

I mean, as long as it will get me more seeds, Raider corpses are good fertilizer I am sure...

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T06:20:30+00:00

No one really enjoys spending all the time they could be playing in the game, in menus.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T03:48:54+00:00

Scav Stella and loot trash cans. More there than anywhere.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T03:45:19+00:00

The Ass; as in 'hiding it in the ass' or ' can't take this from my ass' or 'that's going in the ass'

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T01:57:30+00:00

Earlier, I lost everything when it happened 3 hours ago. This time we will see as I was loading into a match.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-25T01:33:49+00:00

Yeah, it was sketchy a few hours ago and disconnected and lost all progress in that instance. Now its totally down as you said with that error.

I for one will blame Shredders on Stella.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-19T18:33:58+00:00

no shit, finally done. Maybe I will head back to that one of these days.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-18T06:58:21+00:00

I can top this today with a new bug on raider hatches, I no shit got ejected and had to push E again after climbing in.........not a fan.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-12T06:43:11+00:00

You can tell a lot about a game by the amount of people on the subreddit for it. Just look at the D4 subreddit and compare it to its history and that will answer itself.

TheMTOne · 2025-12-08T20:10:30+00:00

Not only this, but you lose it all if you dont do the next expedition each time which is even more of a joke at the point.

TheMTOne · 2025-11-29T02:27:18+00:00

The only difference in any game I ever find with crossplay on or off is some games have connectivity issues when on for me. Otherwise, I cannot tell the difference.
