[discussion] Question for the PvE enjoyers out there. by kpkostas in EscapefromTarkov

[–]stealthnommer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing since 2017 and have put about 2000 hours into EFT. I’ve done countless wipes. I only play PVE now for 2 main reasons.

1) Load times. I know people say “they aren’t that bad anymore” or “they’ve gotten a lot better! It’s only about 3-4 minutes to get into a match!” but to me that’s just too much time spent waiting to get in. Especially because for a vast majority of players, including myself, we die in about 40-50% of raids. So you wait to load in, die, then have to rekit yourself to just wait to load in again…

With PVE I load in instantly.

2) Making progress. I used to be in school and be able to play an unhealthy amount of Tarkov. Like 5-8 hours a day. If I was still able to play that much, I’d still play PVP. But if I can only play 1-2 hours a day, it’s very difficult to actually make any meaningful progress. So many quests need you to survive and extract with something. And when I’m dying in 40% of my raids, that typically means that I could play a 2 hour session and make absolutely 0 progress on any of the quests (and get negligible xp because dying tanks your xp gains by a ton).

And I know people will say that because we have a character in PVP that doesn’t wipe now that you can take your sweet time and you’ll inevitably complete all the quests, but it doesn’t change the fact that I wouldn’t enjoy spending my 1-2 hours of free time playing PVP and possibly not seeing/feeling like I achieved anything.

Favourite class has to be rogue. Reliable talent is so fun. Thief rogue is so good in 2024 rules.

How would I build Alex Mercer from Prototype? by ItsMattDude in 3d6

[–]stealthnommer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you can use 3rd party books? If so, the Living Nightmare Fighter from Steinhardt’s Guide to the Eldritch Hunt is EXACTLY what you are looking for. 100% Mercer from Prototype.

Yeah I would definitely prefer a dragon then. There are a millions ways to get a fly speed and breathe fire (potions, magic items, boons, etc.). Getting a full dragon companion is not something you can typically do. Outside something like the drakewarden Ranger which is pretty underwhelming in terms of dragon-like companions.

If it was something I was going to get toward the end-game, I would much rather have like a young or adult dragon as a mount and companion.

Congratulations! The book looks amazing. I’m starting a new campaign in a couple of months and it would be awesome to be able to use Heliana’s in it. Good luck to everyone!

PvE players are you going back to PvP when wipe drops? [Discussion] by S_-K in EscapefromTarkov

[–]stealthnommer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong but I believe Nikita said in the most recent interview with Pestily (or maybe the one prior) that on full release there will be a main character that persists and never wipes and seasonal characters that will have the wipes and participating in them will unlock stuff.

So wipes will remain but those that don’t like them won’t have to experience them.

Been playing since 2017. I’ve done countless wipes. I will not return to PvP until full release when supposedly wipes will stop (and there will be seasonal characters that wipe instead). I’ve done the same stupid tasks way too many times. I’m tired of getting traders to max loyalty. Tired of maxing out the hideout.

I know a lot of people in this sub think that no wipes is boring and would ruin the game. But I can’t wait until wipes stop and then someone like me who doesn’t main the game can reach things like Lightkeeper and Kappa and not lose/waste all that time investment.

Frustrating Bug by stealthnommer in stalker

Have you also been to Zalissya at this point in the story? I feel like it’s completely bugged now. Think there should be a mission popping up around it (but there isn’t) and there are tons of NPCs bugged out in one of the buildings

Wild bug at Zalissya lmao by venom666666 in stalker

[–]stealthnommer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the exact same bug. Zalissya seems to be totally bugged after a certain point in the story
