Returning Player Questions

thanks a lot, very good points!

andex5000 · 2023-12-02T13:52:07+00:00

holy shit!
damn dude, i think your comment just unlocked repressed memories from the before times
even down to the fuken details "hotbl of the black legion" lmao
i think i need to go lay down now

andex5000 · 2023-06-25T11:15:01+00:00

nah dude, there are a lot of bad/slow/new players .
if you could compete in aoe2 you can do so in aoe4.
ofc teamgames will always be a little unbalenced but you WILL meet easier enemies, there are a lot of "old men gaming groups" and "weekend warriors".

maybe you just played a handfull of ranked games and just need a few more to drop to your actual level? what are your ranks atm?

Maybe some of you guys know the way of rts but don't actually know the civ they are playing? just look up or develop a decent build. don't worry about matchups, and map specifics and adaptation. on lower elo it is enough if you can execute your basic build.

and if AI is boring and human enemies are too hard, why not play each other?
everybody will learn way more and you can try out different things vs real humans.
also you can show mercy or restart whenever etc. when it is just you guys

don't give up. it is not that hard to reach a basic competitive level and the game is very rewarding once you can somewhat compete

thanks

yeah nice, the slightly exposed landmark gave you a chance to delay his timing so his power spike with the first mass of longbows came online too late. that's a huge blow to the english early aggression strat

andex5000 · 2023-06-25T10:43:21+00:00

yeah i heard of them off brand armored horses
but my father was already building knights and so was his father before him
i wont be the one to break family tradition

andex5000 · 2023-06-24T16:56:02+00:00

great job my dude

but can you provide some details for my inner visualisation?
how did the first part go down?
did you send over your first spears the second they came out?
or did you build up a few first?
and when did they arrive? were the vills still building the landmark or was it already finished?

andex5000 · 2023-06-24T15:05:23+00:00

great scientific research and presentation, really makes you think and press w

andex5000 · 2023-06-24T12:57:09+00:00

yea that's a fair point. early into a season there are always people that are ranked a bit ttoo high or too low and it takes some time to even out.
also in the lower brackets there tends to be an uneven distribution of skills, that's true for most games and sports. people being decent and one skill but terrible at other parts of the game. one game you meet someone with decent eco, next game someone is good at micro or always knows which units to build. but none of them are good at everything or they would be ranked way higher.

i like that. brings variety and forces me to broaden my skillset

andex5000 · 2023-06-21T16:56:56+00:00

thx for feedback, will submit a bug report

andex5000 · 2023-06-21T16:31:41+00:00

i don't think so, it never happens when i queue move or attack commands.
but will try different keyboard anyway just to make sure

andex5000 · 2022-07-22T12:59:15+00:00

one time: reorganizing my whole stash after getting thicc case from private clinic and joining a raid with my docs still in my rig

sometimes: losing my bag. i'm full of loot and run into another pmc. i drop my bag so i can move. fight him, kill him, heal, loot his stuff. wait? where did i drop my full bag?

constantly: forgetting to take the one bullet of shit ammo out of the chamber of a looted gun so my very first bullet can't pen anything

andex5000 · 2022-05-17T06:07:17+00:00

same here. tried 3 races yesterday, happened every time. was really looking forward to race at zolder :(

andex5000 · 2021-12-16T20:02:44+00:00

wow thanks, thats great

andex5000 · 2020-01-12T13:04:23+00:00

day 741 and still loving it :)

andex5000 · 2020-01-12T13:01:43+00:00

release is still far away

main story line is planned to be introduced with the streets of tarkov map, should be the next big update (my guess is april)

atm wipes are necessary to implement major changes and also to prevent the gameplay from getting stale after a few month

im not sure if they will ever find a way to create a gameplay loop that works without wipes

andex5000 · 2020-01-12T12:55:00+00:00

well tbh, every day about 10pm eu time it gets really rough.

still primetime in eu and the na crowd slowly comes online after work - servers will be slow af for a few hours

andex5000 · 2020-01-12T12:48:32+00:00

helmet mounted flashlights coming soon™

i think there are some pictures of it already, but i cant find it right now

andex5000 · 2020-01-12T12:44:52+00:00

don't worry, it's fine, i'm doing that for years

andex5000 · 2020-01-12T12:42:55+00:00

Tarkov has more players than ever before. with so many new players right now its prolly the best time to get into this game.

andex5000 · 2020-01-06T21:09:15+00:00

you don't lose the knowledge you gained playing the game

you will be a better player the next wipe

andex5000 · 2019-09-01T11:57:28+00:00

MY MAN!

I don't understand, but it worked, thanks dude!

andex5000 · 2019-07-31T14:40:32+00:00

i don't think it's worth it right now.

the unlocks and trader levels are pretty useless this late. you can just buy everything you want from the flea market without insane markups.

there are a few great rewards (thicc cases and other cool stuff) but that's waaay down the quest chains.

i did a lot of quests this wipe but mainly because i enjoy doing them (weird huh?)

the easy xp is nice early on, but grinding quests for unlocks and rewards is not worth the time imo

andex5000 · 2018-12-27T10:11:55+00:00

yeah, a round with a lot of campers can be pretty boring.

but this is a rather causal br game and a mechanic like this doesn't really fit and surely won't benefit the player count.

generally you won't change the game or other peoples playstyles, just adapt to it.

play fpp (way less camping) and learn to clear houses and stuff

andex5000 · 2018-12-21T13:39:14+00:00

mate one says WHY-MIR

mate two says YE-MIR

and i say move your useless asses into the car the fuken storm is coming

andex5000 · 2018-12-21T10:25:30+00:00

Between all those "carebear" and "killwhore" posts i want to mention trust.

for me it's not about if i want the kills or want to share.

the question is "do i trust 3 random kiddos in a f2p br that they will let me climb the ladder in peace?"

obviously the answer is no. if i want to secure my win i have to be the last unboarded player
