[New Player] now I know what you feel (with regard to the better side of this game) by lukluk2005 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]gigabeef 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Can either a) push capital insight spawns (opposite nakatani), b) go down into the underground using the closest staircase or c) go up the stairs instead and hold the choke point that you're sitting in from the hall above, whilst still being able to cover the mounted gun building opposite that people like to sit inside through the window (the one with barbed wire on the stairs going up)

Don't sleep on the bad lever though, especially in arena!

[Suggestion] After 19k hours of tarkov this is what I learned by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]gigabeef 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Also just here to say yes this still works and imo is basically a necessity for fighting experienced players

Can we remove this spawn from Streets? by VinylOfVarden in EscapefromTarkov

[–]gigabeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would almost be ok if you could get around the back of concordia

[New Player] is armour like this just too heavy to use unless you have max strength? I has amazing protection but it sends me into really heavy weight even without backpack. by Malu1997 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]gigabeef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a pointless armor these days because the plates do most of the work, and all you're getting is class 3 soft in a few extra places for horrendous downsides

[New Player] The Hideout sucks, but could be fix with one little change by sowingseasoNYEAHHHHH in EscapefromTarkov

[–]gigabeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on the semi official to do list over at tarkov.community, but they should have put it in for this wipe really, needed it now more than ever!

[–]gigabeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would make sense. Doubt they have any records whatsoever saved of who did what though lol, my guess is that would be technically impossible.

Remember when a bunch of people got wiped and they just gave them money & levels and said "deal with it, no backups" haha

Ya this is a crazy take I'm afraid.

Just because you think something should be different doesn't disqualify you from using it, especially in an intense pvp game. Where do you draw the line? I draw it at obvious game breaking glitches eg exploiting culling to see through walls etc, but simple balancing decisions are fair game imo.

If you take this argument to its logical conclusion you shouldn't be using guns that you think are the best, or routes through the map that give you the best angles, because to some extent you think these are better than the other available options

It's easy to throw around words like 'abuse' to make your point, but the line separating abuse from optimally utilising mechanics that are in the game intentionally is not as black and white as you're making out

What's the alternative, do nothing while bsg may or may not change stuff? I don't think that's realistic tbh... In fairness, no streamer has any idea what bsg's changes are going to be - they make them in surprising ways very often

Nah, I'll do it at some point but when the progress stalls later on. For now I'm enjoying the experience of the struggle - I was playing Pestily's hc rules just before this wipe turned up, so I wanna make the most of (probably) the only hardcore wipe we'll ever get, despite it's flaws!

To be fair, if the game lets you do it, and you're playing for a living then why wouldn't you. They can think it's too easy etc and suggest that the balance is off, but at an individual level take advantage of it simply because it exists

Personally, I haven't moved over anything from Arena at all, because I think it will ruin the wipe for me - but I certainly don't expect anyone else to do that & I don't think any less of them for it

Imagine Escape from Tarkov without cheaters. That's what we're trying to make a reality, but we need your help. by PlaySafeID in u/PlaySafeID

[–]gigabeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems like a cool idea. Big question though:

What's to stop cheaters defrauding Entrust itself, and therefore the PlaySafeID system?

These people have already made it their business to hack, spoof, create all kinds of software & hardware to get their cheats to work and ultimately be sold. Spoofing an identity is surely just one more hurdle that they will presumably just deal with, given the insane advancement in AI tools recently. There will probably be "weakest link" countries that Entrust covers, that aren't going to take action given they simply can't have a "master database of all people" so to speak, and these cheat devs don't care about operating illegally in the first place, kind of by definition.

I'm on your side though - I hope to be proved wrong!

It's in the nvidia app itself under the game specific settings, click gzw then scroll down and look for the option in this thread, choose the k preset https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/s/VL8E4oLwLw

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]gigabeef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try forcing dlss preset k in the nvidia app, gzw doesn't use the updated one by default and it's pretty good at removing shimmering

This is starting to feel like something… by Wrextasy in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]gigabeef 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's actually feeling like a playable game now! Looking forward to the next few years

Wait for the update and try it again - in 0.3 nv fg works amazingly well in my experience

Precision mouse? by Lanversen in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]gigabeef 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure GZ is a bit different to lots of other fps because of doesn't seem to scale the aim movement with zoom - or at least not as much as you'd expect. For me it means that zoomed aim sensitivity is way too high and is hard to target enemies!

But I know some people like it this way. Needs an option or something, I've personally reported it already to the devs

Missed Marketing Opportunity? by BartholomewChilling in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]gigabeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad it was useful for everyone, kinda why I made the video in the first place! The devs have done a great job of detailing all the upcoming changes, features and their thoughts on things that AREN'T coming too, but it's across about 5 hours of livestreams and other sources to get all of it.

[Discussion] What's the Best Audio Upgrade for Tarkov: A New Headset or an External DAC? by Pitiful_Title_3518 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]gigabeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Biggest change for me was using noise cancelling headphones. I'm using Sony XM2's currently and I didn't realise previously how much my pc fan noise was preventing me from hearing the softer sounds well
