Unfortunately then I guess the game just wasn't for you. If you don't buy into the looting and survival aspects, like I said earlier just playing this as a squad arena shooter would get old fast. During the last pre wipe event, I totally intended to play non stop and get a chance to rock great gear, but I ended up only playing like one or two raids because without any stakes (even if they are made up in your head, yeah) the game is super stale

Gabriel S. posted:What would fix the game? Decreasing the availability of top tier guns and ammo along with some kind of "blacked" arm or leg penalty that is completed negated by painkillers? 1) nerf painkillers so they take ~1 minutes to take effect. Nerf their effect time to maybe 2 mins max. Add a 1-2 minute cooldown between painkiller uses. Add more charges to painkillers to compensate. The effect of this is to remove the knowledge check of running painkillers 100% of the time and giving 0 fucks about blacked limbs. It also gives you time to take tactical advantage of limb shots. It also gives an avenue to making otherwise useless painkillers good. For example, morphine could take only 15 seconds to kick- in making it a top teir item. 2) increase lethality of limb shots to around 4-5 bullets to kill. It shouldn't take a full magdump into someone's thigh to kill them. 3) nerf high teir weapons recoil to be more in line with stock guns. 4) possibly increase the blacked arm penalty 50% or so. Availability isn't the problem and the more they mess with availability it just exacerbates every other issue. twig1919 fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Jul 6, 2020 |

twig1919 posted:The problem isn't the body armor itself. The problem is that the damage system has serious flaws. It takes literally 10-15 rifle rounds to kill someone with arm shots and 7-10 for leg shots. Even having stomach armor is a straight up negative because taking 5 bullets to the stomach is inconsequential while 2 bullets to the chest is instant death, so wasting armor durability on protecting the stomach is pointless. Agree with pretty much all of this. Having realistic armour only works when the rest of the health system is as realistic. I once had a close range player scav on player scav fight on shoreline where we surprised each other. Unfortunately we were both only armed with those .366 bolt action rifles. We both shot one another at the very least half a dozen times, with me only barely winning the encounter after we both ran out of ammo and it came down to using our knives. Neither of us had any armour. The weird Mechwarrior style health system has some consequences where you can tank a ridiculous amount of damage to little effect, or you are one tapped. I’m pretty sure the other guy landed the first hit in that fight I described, so I imagine he was frustrated rather than just confused like I was.

I still always find talk about "realism" in this game where you can perform surgery on your own stomach or run around on broken legs because you put a splint on them comical.

Literally no one would team up even if VOIP were implemented. Look at the number of times Smoke has done his hatchling friend gimmick successfully versus the number of attempted betrayals when he does. It's not worth it, Tarkov players are way, way too greedy and distrustful.

Seriously though it's true because no matter how much money you get, no matter how many quests you finish, no matter how complete your hideout is it will all go away in a few months and it starts again. It's like some serious existential crisis Russian poo poo he's sucked us in to. Imagine an MMO too lazy to create new content so once or twice a year they wipe all the servers and you start over from level 1 replaying the same content because they spent all their development time working on how tired your character gets while running.

What's realistic armor? Are we saying we want the top tier class to be completely be un-penetrable by low calibers or are we adjusting the how the hit scan works?

In 1 way, yea, but he does eventually plan on doing seasons long term. So you'll always have that stash to play in "regular" mode and then you'll have that seasons gear to play in "seasonal" mode. Who loving knows when that happens and right now the wipes are to mimic that, but I agree that sometimes it just feels like a waste.

I hope though VOIP will be for in squad comms only. In theory it sounds great to be able to talk and have fun scenarios like negotiating but unfortunately there'll be enough assholes who will ruin it too. Even in more MilSim communities, like Squad has assholes spamming dumb music or soundboards and honestly, quite frankly let's be honest, most people who play videogames are mouth breathing losers who mumble rap talk or have extreme vocal fry so I don't want to hear that poo poo. Unfortunately VOIP was apparently announced in the last Russian podcast with Nikita so it is supposed to be coming

So I finally got my bitcoin farm up and running for the first time and, like most of this game, I don't fully understand it. I've got two cards running in it at the moment and it gave me a timer of around 20 hours if I remember correctly, showing 0/3 bitcoins. I assumed this meant that after the timer was up, I'd have 3 bitcoins. But when I logged on earlier, the timer was down to about 7 hours as expected and I had 1/3 bitcoins. I put that one in my inventory, so I'm back to 0/3. It doesn't appear that I get 3 bitcoins spread out over the time, because if that was the case I'd have thought I'd have my second one by now. So what's the deal? Do I get 3 bitcoins, or 1, or what? What happens when the timer reaches zero?

Lemon posted:So I finally got my bitcoin farm up and running for the first time and, like most of this game, I don't fully understand it. You get one bitcoin. Your farm can hold a maximum of three. It it fills up, you stop making more bitcoins until you pull out the ones it's already made. This is to prevent you from just starting up your bitcoin farm and loading up fuel, walking away for a week, and then coming back and having a couple dozen bitcoins ready to go. It "encourages" people to log in more if they want the full benefit.

What's the point of a timer if I got a bitcoin before the end of it? Edit: I'm assuming that I get 1 bitcoin in the timer window, but at a random time? So I have to wait for that window to close, even though I've already got the bitcoin and then start a new one? I guess that makes some kind of sense.

You get one bitcoin at the end of the timer, just like any other craft. You should not have gotten a bitcoin midway through a timer. Is it possible that the first 20 hour timer completed, giving you one bitcoin, and then you left it for 13 hours more? That could explain how you had one bitcoin and 7 hours left on the timer (to get your second)

They need to make this game harder. I started this wipe a little later to avoid frustrations with servers. Single player progression seems fine, I progressed myself two PMC loadouts in reserve. You can win with skill and patience. Please continue to leave your visors up for me.

If they can access the init and do man in the middle poo poo, Battleye is gonna have to come up with a whole new way to virtualize their code.

I routinely play on and off with VPNs, and have friends and my brother who do the same. None of us never been banned. A significant portion of the player base is using VPNs right now because they are remoting into work and playing tarkov on the side.
