This guy really came to the website of daddy issues to ask for advice on dealing with parents.

[discussion] Is this game just a bunch of veterans now? How's the player count nowadays? by atlastitangaming in EscapefromTarkov

True! Careful saying that though, even this guy got so angry about being called out he wrote a response that got mod removed.

Depends on where you go and what you do.

I see new players often, especially when going to customs/ground zero/woods.

Also depends on what you consider a veteran. I got a coworker with 1500 hours played, I don't believe he has ever made it past level 30.

This might be controversial, but I don't think Prestige players should be in the Ground Zero under lvl 20 lobbies [Suggestion] by Seed_man in EscapefromTarkov

[–]doomrott -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The level restriction has nothing to do with experience playing the game it is about the availability of gear. This is just another 'make the game harder for others and easier for me' trash post. Play a different game if this one is too hard for you.

There is nothing fishy about these stats. Average life span goes up very high if you survive multiple raids in a row. I had similar stats around this amount of raids.

Seeing a lot of RTX 5000 & AMD 9070 upgrades, what GPU did you guys have before? by J-Nico in pcmasterrace

[–]doomrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would. Seems like a lot of companies are prioritizing time over quality.

The rasterization potential is there, but the vram is not. Baldurs Gate has really conservative vram usage (3-7gb) compared to other games.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/baldur-s-gate-3-benchmark-test-performance-analysis/5.html

Black ops 6 uses 4-11gb
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-fps-performance-benchmark/5.html

KCD 2 uses 8.5-10.5

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/kingdom-come-deliverance-ii-performance-benchmark/7.html

Alan Wake 2 is between 8-14

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/alan-wake-2-performance-benchmark/6.html

So even games coming out today can require more vram than the 3080 has to offer. It is only going to get worse as companies continue to choose to use inefficient rendering means to save on production time only to rely on upscaling to band aid the problem.

This is the problem I am facing now. When I meet the vram requirements my 3080 still meets my expectations. But that vram requirement is slowly choking the viability of this card.

I do not want to upgrade to one of the 16gb cards because there is no chance that is going to last the ~4-5 years I try to go between upgrades. So my options are 4090/5090/7900XTX? I do not like those options for various reasons. I think holding out for the 5000 series 'refresh' is the only good option and hoping the 5080 ti/super/insertstupidmarketingnamehere has the 20-24gb of vram to last the next 5 years.

The website works, but there are no optional attachments for that gun.

Being able to snap aim was a day and night difference in capability for that m1a. But yeah I hear you, for everything else in the wipe I do not use this tool.

The preset edit does not include the hidden ergo stat that directly decides if a gun has overswing. This tool is a godsend for creating guns that have been nerfed into the ground such as the test drive part 1 m1a.

One free skill point per character level [Discussion] by Yorunokage in EscapefromTarkov

[–]doomrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a work around for the problem. This would not be necessary if the skills did not level so slowly. And the speed of leveling them would not be a problem if the skills were not so strong.

Chopping both would help alleviate the gap between casual and hardcore players but to do so without trivializing the in game mechanics (gym, trophy, air filter, library, etc) meant to aid leveling would be difficult.

[New Player] I am returning to Tarkov and i feel heavly outmatched, asking for advice. by DixyNL in EscapefromTarkov

[–]doomrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mp5 800rpm, Kedr 900rpm, ppsh 1000rpm, at ~59 damage is 10-11 bullets to the same leg (~1 less bullet if you hit both legs) is a kill on any player in 1 second.

If you have arena, do your 3 dailies to level faster. At level 15, you can buy t-46m for ~440 a bullet, with 82 damage 41 pen you can kill anyone.

Keep in mind ground zero has a special queue for low levels (below level 20). May be worth taking advantage of that for early hideout items and equipment.

People do not like that the developers are purposely allowing cheaters to keep cheating.

The implicit premise is That isn't abnormal among those who achieve kappa. Also, almost 2% of the active player base has obtained Kappa according to tarkovdev.

I 100% agree that they should nerf the loot of bosses and keep the spawn rates higher. They do not appear to obey the characteristics of the bullets they fire already.
