Weapons don't have to be found in raid to sell, like before, but everything else is still found in raid only to sell on flea.

So that means all the components and stuff too, because what would be the purpose of selling off bare receivers. But can you list them separately still or will we be seeing a lovely grey market of top end optics on the cheapest mounts possible. Still, all the gun barbie you want, but no armor or ammo

I don't know if that applies to attachments not mounted on a gun, just reading the patch notes. Would be weird and interesting if it only applied to guns. It'd really require you to be knowledgeable about a gun's mods, I suppose.

The fact that it's not on by default makes me believe they just shoved it in this patch late. It's really the only thing I'm looking forward to more than the maps because god is the sound broken in this game.

I feel exactly the same way. Nikita said to expect to “thinks it’s bugged because it’s so different”, but assured it’s the way it’s supposed to be.

People I've been watching have said the steam audio seems good, so who knows.

Love to see endless brain geniuses in twitch chat complaining about not being able to play, asking if this is happening to anyone else, and getting mad that streamers are in the game when this has happened every wipe due to overloaded servers and every site where people talk about tarkov has had warnings about this

“I paid $150 for this premium edition and I can’t even play what a scam”

“Streamers are put into priority queue”

“Was wipe today?”

“Steam audio was not added”

“How are you in the game”

Imagine being so dense you drop into a twitch chat of 5k people to ask simple questions that are solved instantly with a simple google search.

Personally I’ve been able to start the game but it always locks up network wise when trying adjust my inventory. Just going to wait for playable time.

The new binaural audio is great. You can actually tell which direction things are in. Seems like it makes everything quieter overall so just turn your speakers/headphones up a bit.

It’s disabled by default, under sound settings, and requires a game restart.

Yeah it's a checkbox under sound then you have to restart the game after enabling.

I'd say it's harder to hear generally because the sound overall is quieter but it's miles better for actually telling which direction and how far away things are.

Was doing a scav raid, was making out like a bandit when some player scav with poo poo aim started to shoot me. But he caught me proning, so I was trying to hit C fast to stand up.

I hit V instead

Stood up and pointed my knife at him. By the time I got my mosin out he hit me in the hit finally.

Edit: Also I just got killed by an invisible silent scav.

Items in your rear end losing find in raid status if you die is going to make a lot of quests absolutely loving brutal for your average or below average player. There needs to be some other condition where that poo poo counts for quests but you can't sell on the flea, because god drat.

yeah every 'find in raid' quest is now equivalent to a 'pick up and item and exfil with it' quest, except many many many times over.

The worst most tedious poo poo is 5x as bad an as tedious now.

Just obnoxiously stupid what they've done to this game.

Something Pestily said today just had me scratching my head. He was bemoaning his lack of money at a certain point in the game, but when his chat suggested he just do a few money runs, he turned up his nose and with the most Tryhard tone of voice said no because "I want to play the game as it is meant to."

:what:

The game is basically a bunch of mercenaries (sorry, private military contractors :rolleyes:) running around playing "Who's the biggest loot goblin on the map?" and the idea of just doing runs to grab some goodies and make the big bucks is somehow antithetical to this concept? Dude, if you wanna be a whore, suck some dicks.

Pestily seems like a good dude but I've stopped watching him. He got real whiny when his chat pushed back about all these changes and how they hurt casual players and he acted like they were stupid rather than see that he lacked perspective. Same reason why Nikita has those group chats to announce changes and surrounds himself with streamers so they can all tell him how smart he is. Hell I'd even take an online-but-scav-only mode that only gives 50% xp or something.

The items aren't in raid anymore if you die thing doesn't even make sense. Yes I found that in a raid. You're punishing me because I pre-ordered your game and you gave me a safe container to put things in?

In the more than two years I've owned this game this is the first time I've remembered to play anywhere close to the beginning of a wipe. It's crazy how much of a difference it makes when pretty much no one has the good poo poo yet. I'm normally lucky to even make it out alive with a single kill on a non-scav player but my body and I had multiple raids today where we picked up 2-3 kills each.

he's friends with nikita and nikita has said that he doesn't like when players rush having a fat stash of money and endgame loot as fast as possible, and that's probably part of why pestily has been focusing on doing quests.

Yeah worst case someone might be flat broke and have to shove stuff up their rear end because they’re under level 10, and sell to dealers for a basic kit of gear.

Still probably better off doing a scav run, but if you had to...

Edit: And aren’t trader seeds prices rear end anyways?

it's great actually that people are incentivized to actually extract after doing a loot run instead of suiciding or disconnecting
