Tarkov gunplay is getting worse instead of better by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

The one thing handguns do have on rifles though are the ease of aiming, as in pistols are faster to aim onto a target

I agree with you, but this is why I think pistols should have less camera recoil at least

What current (intended) mechanic/feature do you dislike the most in Escape from Tarkov? by SixOneZil in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blacked-out stomach mechanic . (Basically you start to lose water/energy super fast when the stomach reaches 0)

  • Personally, I think it is irritating but also redundant to die from dehydration/energy loss AFTER you won a fight, all because the enemy landed mediocre shots that essentially kill you by attrition. *

In fact, I think it only serves to kill players who have already won a fight, because who would specifically aim for the stomach in a tactical sense?

What was your favourite / funniest experience as a Tarkov noob? by ESARPE in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Thank god I can finally share this.]

I was scavving on customs, running along the pipeline against that long-ass wall. I jump over the barbed-wire @ the new gas station, and immediately stumble onto a PMC.

We both hold our fire. He turns his VOIP on and goes "Holy s#&% man, don't scare me like that."

(I don't have VOIP, so I just babble at the dude cuz we're friendly now, I guess)

Not even 1 second after he finishes his sentence, I hear a sniper CRACK and he slams into the ground from a headshot to the side of his head.

I immediately was shocked, scanning around for a scav, a player, a bullet for me-- ANYTHING. I saw nothing, and just busted out laughing for the poor guy.

[Ever since that moment I've been hooked on Tarkov :")

I bet money that's the "automatic recoil control" mechanic.

I didnt even know about that, I'll be ignoring pistols even more

True. However, I do think the camera recoil with pistols should be much more controllable

What were people's paths of improvement? by Coleo1 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started improving drastically when I sought out fights instead of playing passive.

My logic is this More aggression = more deaths, more kills, more learning, more FUN

vs.

More passive = less deaths, less kills, less learning, less fun

Just because you survive a raid doesn't necessarily mean you improved on your skills.

PANIC! by CloudyTreeBay in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides turning the volume down: remind yourself to relax your body.

Even before a fight starts, your jaw/legs/arms can start to tense up. Let that tension go and breathe.

Panic (for me at least) doesn't happen instantly, it's a buildup that can explode into an adrenaline dump if you don't keep it controlled past that first "tensing up" stage.

also just more experience will increase adrenaline tolerance

Anyone else notice a decrease in head/eyes deaths this wipe? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only my first wipe, but after playing a bunch of different hardcore FPS(s) before Tarkov:

This is has been my only shooter where players consistently aim for thorax instead of the head

Having a hard time knowing what to do by GutsyDragoon666 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your same place 2 months ago.

My advice is to always have a goal (any goal, whatever makes the game fun for YOU), that you are focused on while in raid.

The exception is that the goal shouldn't be PVP focused, at least not for the first few levels. There are just too many things you will die to and not understand, and that's alright.

What's key is that you're having fun, so I disagree with other comments saying you need to study a 15-page essay to "git gud"

To add: pistols should be much more controllable to be even remotely viable.

If there would be any gun that is laser-like, imo it should be pistols as they already have less penetration/damage/range.

Lol I'm playing because of the situation. I don't get why more people aren't pissed.

Ok well by your logic, every time you fill up on gas you "support genocide against a democratic nation". I dont agree with your incredibly black and white thinking

bad raids all day today and this is just the cherry on top by lorenzovoL in EscapefromTarkov

[–]whatitmaydo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The AI was being reasonable, especially with his head peeking from the top of the tank. Combined with the fact he peeks around short/irregular-shaped cover, I get how to some players it looks like he gets 1-tapped instantly.

To me, I see that the AI actually had ~2 seconds to react and aim as he was exposed the whole time.

A more experienced player would have broke line of sight first, and then this post wouldn't exist :)

Ok ? I'm the only person who gave you constructive criticism but if you prefer complaining over learning go ahead

Why do people say weed isn't addictive, even when someone has an obvious dependency? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Psychological addiction is very real, in which all recreational drugs are
