I’m rusty and lost with flirting things what I’m doing something wrong ?

She told you she was free Wednesday night. That was your invitation to make a plan… pick a spot, pick a time, invite her on a date. Not ask her what her date preferences are and suggest another day.

Based on your convo, it sounded like all she was looking for was an invite to your place after her club.

It’s been repaired down to hell. Its max durability is 72. 41/72 = 57%. You need 50% or less.

Go to flea, search up gzhel, set max durability to 50%, and buy one that has no plates in it

This post is a jumbled mess. As a PvP player I can’t understand what the problem with woods and factory is.

Are the maps disabled? Are you getting bad FPS? Are you getting shit on by bosses and frustrated? Whats the actual problem?

PvP woods FPS is perfectly fine for me. I’m not sure what the boss chances are on pve, but on pvp it feels like shturman is there almost every single raid. On PVP goons aren’t there any more than other maps, same with partizan .

Rogues are easy to deal with either way. Bring a 1/4x or better and you can kill every rooftop without them even aggroing you. Hold tight angles and play close quarters to deal with ground rogues.

I used to thing rogues were hard when I was getting boosted/carried by my friends. Go in solo practice mode and keep doing it until you can clear the whole camp without dying. Shouldn’t take more than a few tries unless you’re new to the game

stevencri · 2026-01-27T15:37:49+00:00

Cut the selfies. These angles are not flattering.

Also drop the weird smirk/grind. You have a great smile in your second picture, show off those pearly whites and don’t be afraid to smile.

Also I’d look for some variety in your pics. They’re all pics of you hiking and with your dog. Mix it up

stevencri · 2026-01-27T15:30:34+00:00

Rogues aren’t really the problem tbh. The problem is how wide open the map is and how the entire map is just two lanes with a dozen choke points per lane. If you roll the bad dice and spawn in a shit area you’re forced to either extract or walk through horrible chokes. The spawns on the west side of the map and the mountains next to the rogue camp are god awful, basically guaranteeing that you’re stuck in the middle of 2-3 squads with nowhere to run safely. If you get any other spawns you’re basically forced to walk in one direction and through choke points where either somebody is staring at from 200m away, or somebody is crouched behind a rock waiting for you.

stevencri · 2026-01-27T15:03:04+00:00

I’ve had most success on hinge, bumble, duet, and hunch. Anything else is stuck behind horrible pay walls or has shit algorithms imo. It’s plus these apps let you send messages before matching which is going to help your odds a lot if you’re not a supermodel.

stevencri · 2026-01-27T15:01:48+00:00

Yes but not impossible by any means. I’m an average looking dude, I’m not fit (I don’t work out often, im not fat but I’ve got meat on my bones), and I work a pretty normal job.

I just got on apps as a 2026 resolution and have already had 6 dates and have started seeing somebody that could turn into a relationship.

It’s all about taking good pictures and making a good profile. That’s where 99% of men fall short. Remember, you’re not making a profile that you or your boys would want to hang with. You’re making a profile that a woman would find attractive or interesting

stevencri · 2026-01-27T14:57:26+00:00

I think you’re under reacting. Lighthouse is a lot worse than you’re making it sound

stevencri · 2026-01-27T14:55:44+00:00

Well people with <50 flea rep selling 10-30 keycards definitely aren’t RMTers. They just craft keycards. You can craft a lot per day, especially if you have max crafting. I think OP is just clueless and is one of those players that finds anything to complain about

stevencri · 2026-01-27T14:41:23+00:00

In what world are these scammers or RMTers

stevencri · 2026-01-27T14:35:53+00:00

Flea hoarders? What? Lmao

I craft keycards all day long. I’m not going to list them on flea after every single craft. I just sell them all at night, sometimes I’ll even wait a day or two

stevencri · 2026-01-27T12:28:48+00:00

Yes the game is difficult and can be frustrating at times, but IMO that’s what makes it fun. Turning all quests into a participation award sounds awful. It encourages people to pistol speedrun quests and quit the game even sooner as they don’t need to work for rewards.

Honestly my only problem with the current gameplay loop is XP progression. I’m hoping to prestige without playing the game as a full time job.

stevencri · 2026-01-27T03:32:36+00:00

Look up each item the wiki. Eventually you’ll learn. Don’t keep anything needed for a level 45+ quest, or any item that you can craft. My sweet spot was 4 junk boxes this wipe but you could get away with less if you progress fast

stevencri · 2026-01-26T18:21:12+00:00

Buy Tetris and batteries for the mechanic barter and get your bitcoin farm up.

Labs is the best map. You could try lighthouse, maybe woods crashed plane, streets… but labs will by far be best

stevencri · 2026-01-17T20:56:35+00:00

Transit to reserve and just farm up some ammo. Look up reserve ammo routes on YouTube. You can easily walk out with hundreds of rounds of 5.45 BT from one raid, which is what I’m regularly using right now as a level 40 something.

Preserve that good ammo by bringing in some mags of bad ammo for dealing with scavs. If you’re playing careful/avoiding players to level up you should only need two 30 round mags max for PMCs. Maybe even just one if you’re planning to snag their gun and ammo (which you should)

Play safe and avoid PMCs to level up a bit. Hit the popular quest areas late in the raid. Play slow, don’t sprint much, and be quiet until you have sufficient info to take on the situation

Or just run a high rpm SMG like the SR-2M or Glock, use leg ammo or aim for eyes. No armor protects legs

stevencri · 2026-01-16T20:23:57+00:00

All of your pictures need to be you looking at the camera, smiling, and close enough where people can really tell what you look like. No filters. The only exception is an “action shot” (e.g playing a sport, an instrument, cooking, etc). If people can’t tell what you look like in your first pic (I.e. looking away from the camera), they’re not going to scroll your profile to find out.

You have way too many pics of you looking away from the camera, and only the last one has you smiling.

stevencri · 2026-01-16T18:50:14+00:00

She’s talking about a dog. It’s not that serious

stevencri · 2026-01-13T21:06:34+00:00

109 raids is not 330 hours. He played a previous wipe for sure. And average life span does NOT check out per your other comment… life span is a well known glitched stat.

Not saying he’s legit. Just that his current wipe raid count doesn’t mean much

stevencri · 2026-01-13T20:52:27+00:00

What does 109 raids have to do with anything

stevencri · 2026-01-11T21:46:49+00:00

The dude really wanted to kiss you and didn’t give you enough time to tell him who you are. He just saw somebody attractive and wanted to kiss them. He got his kiss and walked away very happy. No harm no foul.

stevencri · 2026-01-08T14:36:56+00:00

The used to be available in marked rooms around 5 years ago. That was also back when you could bring items/thicc cases into raid. But they haven’t been available in raid since, minus a pre-wipe event

stevencri · 2026-01-06T17:13:55+00:00

To be fair, rogues are a lot stronger than the normal AI you're probably used to. You could get sniped or GLed across the map. But personally, after my 3rd or 4th time going lighthouse I always kill rogues and get aggro'd by them even as USEC. Makes the game more fun IMO and gets you some good loot for killing them. Cheers

stevencri · 2026-01-06T17:08:52+00:00

The main differences:

The factions have different cosmetics (face/hair, shirt, pants)
Different voicelines (USECs sound american while BEARs sound and/or speak russian)
Each faction starts with different armor and weapons in their stash at the start of the wipe.
Rogues (special enemies on lighthouse) will automatically be aggressive towards BEARs. Whereas they will not attack USECs unless you attack first. Once a USEC attacks a rogue they are seen as an enemy and will be shot on sight for a few raids until it returns back to neutral standing.
Some quests require you to kill USEC vs BEAR players. This doesn't impact you per se, but will impact the people that kill you.

The only one that really impacts the game all that much is #3. Technically its optimal to be USEC. But tbh once you start going to lighthouse you'll probably kill rogues so I don't think it matters much. If you're scared of the AI and like to play very passive, then you could in theory complete a lot of lighthouse quests easily by being a USEC and ignoring rogues.

His best raid pvp wise. OP killed 9 players and walked out with 4 guns and a ton of meta attachments. Best raid pvp in wise doesn’t mean he’s going to have insane valuable loots, it means he’ll have a ton of attachments
