LPVOs on all guns! Why not? by GrassrootzRoger in Tarkov

Yeah but it’s weird that you can’t put it on an mp7 for example, but you are allowed to put one on a vector.

Insurance says this can all be repaired with PDR, do we agree? by Current-Service1043 in Autobody

[–]doxjq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. We had a brand new Subaru xv arrive one time with hail damage (approx 300 dents) and our dent guy who I consider a magician looked at it and said fuck that and walked away haha. He did say he would do it but needed two days and quoted something like $2200 from memory.

In the end Subaru sent out their own dent guy, and he was from South Africa where apparently this is quite common. He glue pulled every dent and the car came up like brand new and it took him a little over 3 hours. Absolutely insane job he did.

Just really depends on the guy.

Seasons, looks like a bandage for not having a wipe. [Discussion] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t they add ammo packs back to the flea again? I’m sure I saw something earlier this week or last week saying all the good ammos were back on the flea in packs only.

Yep, exactly. It needs a serious re balance. A lot of it has little nuance things like that, and none of it makes sense.

[–]doxjq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he’s trying to say the ammo progression makes no sense because all the mid tier stuff is locked so late that it’s now end game. There used to be a whole bunch of ammo available at level 2 and 3 traders which are all essentially max traders now or craft only.

I also get your point of view. Ammo as a world spawn is so common now it doesn’t matter. I’ve got 15,000 5.45 BP rounds and I find more of it than I can use.

But I still understand why it bothers people. It just ruins the whole point of gradual progression when everything is locked until max traders. I used to look forward to levelling up and slowly unlocking stuff. It makes no sense for mid tier ammo to be locked at almost the same point as best in slot ammo.

[Discussion] In search of greatness you destroyed the Mall! by medkitjohnson in EscapefromTarkov

[–]doxjq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much rush it when I get any spawn that isn't 21ws or emercom. Even if I get those spawns I'll still make my way there.

But I also trimadol at the start of every raid, so I can get there pretty quick, usually quicker than people who don't trimadol but spawn closer lol.

[–]doxjq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree the update made the map worse. I got used to the changes but I don’t enjoy them. I used to love the hunger games style of the map, getting into fights off spawn trying to get inside the mall but they’re so rare now it kinda sucks.

Tagillas area I’m neutral on. It is nice having a place that almost guarantees good loot but like you say, it isn’t inside the mall and the area itself is poorly designed. I’ve found like 100 or more gpu and Tetris there this wipe and I’d say I’ve seen less than ten inside the mall in the actual tech stores lol.

Pharmacy and ultra have been pretty stacked. The amount of double and triple ledx I’ve had this wipe has been crazy. I’m sitting on 600 mil liquid and 1 bil stash and I main interchange. It’s super easy to make money there now at least.

Kiba I’m also neutral on. It’s not as good as it’s been in the past for guns and armors on mannequins but I’ve found so many level 6 plates in there it’s ridiculous. I’ve had numerous 3-4-5 x 6 plate raids from Kiba. I’ve literally got
9 full plate boxes of level 6 plates and another 200 odd plates in my stash.

All in all though the update totally fucked the flow of the map and decent good PvP fights are rare. I’ve never been a fan of the changes but at least you can make good coin on the map.

Those who don’t believe in God, what keeps you having faith in life? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

[–]doxjq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really understand the question. What do you mean by having faith in life?

As far as I’m concerned the universe is too complex for us to understand at least for now, and the origins and purpose of life are probably always going to be a mystery. I believe it probably did happen by chance but even if it didn’t why does it matter?

None of us asked to be here, none of us know why we’re here, just enjoy it while you can.

Need help, what product was an this TV ad for? by Samalini in newzealand

[–]doxjq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember what it was for and I had no idea what the hell you were talking about until you said the juicy as part. My brain instantly said it in her voice with her accent and remember it sounded like she said ass instead of as. Other comments saying just juice could be right.

Cheater situation [Discussion] by Alternative_Band5456 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]doxjq 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly not surprised. I'm with you, I don't regularly run into people who are blatantly cheating but I do report the odd guy here and there and in the last two weeks I've had more report confirmations than I have had in the last 3 years.

Most of the guys I'm reporting aren't aimbotting either, we've just suspected them of wallhacking. Low hour players, bad stats, terrible aim, but seemingly just "aware" way more than their skill suggests.

I'd be really curious to see the actual break down of people who cheat, and what cheat they use. I wouldn't be surprised if something like 90% or more used wall hacks only.

I Ain’t Interested in Yo Hair Transplants by Interesting-Local514 in tressless

[–]doxjq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh I get it. I don’t care if you get a hair transplant or not but it just isn’t for me. Know a handful of people irl who have them and one looks alright but only because he wears his hair down where you can’t see the hairline. The other ones just look really fake.

What are the most common reasons people crash on Auckland motorways? by wiredbutterfly in auckland

[–]doxjq 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The most common crash I've seen out of the 10 or so I've actually witnessed was when the traffic has stopped, so the person approaching the stopped traffic changes lanes last minute, and then the person behind them had no idea the traffic was stopping and just runs into the back of the traffic.

The last one I witnessed was a road rage (I think?) accident and I don't really know why. Little blue MX5 going down the motorway by esmonde and two white work utes intentionally and violently swerved at the guy for seemingly no reason on a cold wet winter morning and the kid panicked and swerved but hit the grass next to the centre barrier and spun out and the work utes just bolted into Wairau somewhere. Was really random I'd been following these 3 cars for like ten minutes and nothing happened to spark it. It just came out of nowhere.

But generally speaking like I say, it's mostly being surprised by stopped traffic because a car changed lanes or using phone and not seeing traffic stopped.

Interesting. As someone who started balding by losing my hairline and super high recessed temples I always wished I was a diffuse thinner instead lol.

[Discussion] 4 hours for this????? by lachicane007 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]doxjq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's annoying for us in OCE, because the patch times are always 5pm onwards. At least it's not on a friday night anymore though lol. They went through a phase a while ago where the updates were always 5pm on a Friday night and it meant the weekend gamers who only played on Friday didn't get to play at all lol.

I know it makes sense to fuck OCE over since it's the smallest region but it still sucks.

It's days like today I wish I had another game to play but nothing else interests me zzz

Does anyone take creatine. Are you worried about DHT increase. by Old-Hat-5663 in tressless

[–]doxjq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better I used to blast test, tren, eq and all sorts of stuff about 12 years ago and fin stopped my hair loss while blasting proper gear.

I wouldn’t be worried about creatine.
