So how prevalent are hackers in this game? I'm still relatively new, but had a pretty sketchy moment that felt like someone literally teleported behind me. I was in the village on the east side of the woods, and I heard a guy stomping around outside and then get into a shootout with a scav, so I quietly snuck upstairs, which I had already cleared and confirmed was empty, and waited to see if he would come in after me or leave. After a few seconds I heard a THUMP right behind me like someone jumped or fell off a ledge and then got shot and died instantly. Now, later on another run out of curiosity I went back to see if maybe it was possible to climb onto the roof, or onto an awning, or if there was a good vantage point to pop me from outside, and nope. I didn't see any possible way someone could've gotten in behind me. There was also no way this dude somehow got into the building and went upstairs without me noticing. It also wasn't a grenade. I was kinda pissed off because I was rocking the best gear I had and it felt super sketchy, so is this something that happens from time to time or am I just salty that some dude outplayed me?

I don't think hacking level teleporters are common, there are these packet sniffer hacks that give people full map view of where everyone is that have been undetected for like a year now. I'm not sure how common they are but I imagine it's a fairly common.

Morshu posted:So how prevalent are hackers in this game? I'm still relatively new, but had a pretty sketchy moment that felt like someone literally teleported behind me. To answer the direct question: Hackers exist for sure and you're going to have some sketchy deaths in this game. That said, it's gotten significantly better than say, 2 to 3 wipes ago. It's gotten good enough that many times you're going to have a real hard time distinguishing between real hackers and players who outshoot/outplay you - as you're questioning right now. It happens to all of us. Then throw in things like the game's desync, lag, and overall pretty crappy netcode and you're going to run into situations where you make it behind cover from an attacker but die anyways and it's going to feel super sketch like he shot you through the walls but that's just Tarkovs desync at work. Lastly, even when you're sneaking you make noise. It's faint, but a really good player will still hear soft steps, especially on things like wood or metal. Or if you shuffle your feet, turn around in place too quickly and it will set off alarm bells to anyone close enough with enough experience to recognize it. It's entirely possible they knew you were in the building. As for lack of vantage points on your position, I don't know exactly which building you are in, but tricky players will know how to get an angle on pretty much anything in the game. Especially players with high strength. They can jump up to places mere mortals can't and get odd angles you wouldn't think possible. All that said, it's really tough to say without any video.

I’ve had quite a few eyeshots that I feel were kinda suspect and a single instance where I’m fairly certain I was on the receiving end of a teleport hack where I died to a head, nape while inside a storage container facing the only exit without heading a drat thing. Other than that I can reliably find ways to blame my own poor play.

My understanding is that they are tweaking crafting requirements to compensate for changes to how the "found in raid" status is applied to items. Last wipe items you rammed up your butt hole kept the FIR tag, now you need to survive and extract with them, and this is causing downstream effects on the item economy.

Hemostat for salewa will screw new players on therapists first quest because the hemostat isn't available at trader level one. Hope they change that

Remember when Beta containers used to cost only a few thousand dollars? Now you have to scavenge all sorts of mil-tech crap. Or pay out the nose on the ragfair. It’s usually easier to do punisher for Epsilon. At least in my experience

Famethrowa posted:a grizzly is like 40k. No. It's not. https://tarkov-market.com/item/Grizzly_First_Aid_Kit Average price 24 hours: 28,748₽ 7 days: 29,166₽ Price difference 24 hours: +0.88% 7 days: -0.57% You buy one for ~30k on a bad day, use that to heal instead of paying rapist ~6k, now you have a 1500hp grizzly that is good for mindlessly mashing via hotkey from your rig. (You know as opposed to "Oh poo poo I used my salewa to heal a heavy bleed! Or the poo poo of why can't hemostat stop my light bleed oh noes" "Oh gently caress I used up my splint charges and my arm is still hosed!" ) If you don't die, your grizzly lasts forever. If you do die, buying a fresh one and using it to heal already brings it down to the cost of a regular salewa and any other trash you lost that you want to keep in your rig like hemo/esmarch....gently caress that hassle.

Inspector_666 posted:Grizzlies are gonna come up now, there's no way they remain the same price as a Salewa. You'd think so... But then you'd think it'd be 50k already given that the 5 meds required to make it are 10k each on flea.... I have no explanation for why the grizzly is as cheap as it is - but given the price it's at, use it.

its because even with an alpha you can throw a salewa in your container and keep hold of it easily for multiple raids if you die while still taking in a docs case as well, only moving it out when you get something that will be worth more than it sold to traders. a grizzly is money gone when you die, every death, or a full alpha.

or you take an ifak in the alpha and a torniquet that costs less than a bandage outside of it and have 3 slots free for markers etc

Yeah I am totally willing to blame my lovely playing for what happened, it just seemed super sketchy and I didn't know if that was just a thing I should expect to happen now and then. I did have a pretty lovely time in-game last night though so I might just be salty haha.

Stux posted:a grizzly is money gone when you die, every death, Yes. How much money though? You buy a 30k grizzly, use it to heal, save ~6k from not paying rapist. So now at worst your grizzly is 24k. That's not really something I'm going to sweat about losing. But wait...there is more! Lets say you took your salewa out and used it, well now it's down to 230/400. Oh poo poo now what....oh right, you get another salewa, put that fresh one up your butt, and the 230 in your rig just to you know..use it it up right? Or you just keep pounding away at the grizzly raid after raid without a care in the world till that drat thing is down to sub 400.... You do you, but I think the utility and convenience of the grizzly vastly exceeds the cost which frankly everyone seems to blow way out of proportion. You guys will load 50k of ammo into a 150k gun without a thought - but oh man a 27k grizzly...I dunno - too rich for my blood! FileNotFound fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Jan 28, 2021 |

most of the time you get a heavy bleed you're still in a fight. 5 seconds is a very long time in a fight. you could pop your propital in 2 and hemo later. Like, a grizzly is around the same cost as ifak+hemo+propital which is a loadout I would rather have and do.

i mean most people in this game often have like, a 20% survival rate, lower even. so losing a grizzly that often is objectively more money lost than carting salewas/ifaks in your secure and only removing it for stuff you can sell for more than it cost. you can keep a grizzly in your stash to heal off raid with no risk either way over using therapist so thats null. lets say you do have 20% on the dot survival rate. over 10 raids w grizzlys you will be losing around 240,000 roubles in excess that you have to make up with your two survivals. a salewa or ifak you can keep hold of until its used up, when it gets low throw it in the stash and out of raid heal with the left over or whatever. but you can either get 100% of the useage or only lose it when you have made enough money to replace it anyway. there is a really good reason grizzlys are so cheap and its because of this. even with a gamma theyre pretty annoying and outside of the starting couple i wouldnt bother with them over putting in 60 rounds of ammo thats worth more than the grizzly, a docs case, a good painkiller etc.

Ifac is 15k - and guess what - hemostat is now 20k - and was never less than 10k. At best you're off by 10k. Currently you're bringing 55k of meds instead of a grizzly. Yes 2s is faster than 5, but 55k.....

the tourniquet is like less than 1.5k just use that. but also the point of that post, im pretty sure, was that that will all fit in an alpha with a slot left over and you also have some flexibility over which parts you remove and when to make sure you are not losing stuff when you die without breaking even or coming out ahead. you could take a docs case, an ifak, and an ibuprofen all in an alpha, with a tourniquet in your rig and you are risking 1.5k each run. the grizzly in ur bag or rig is a 30k loss every time you die lol

god the fog in this game loving sucks they have a really nice low hanging soup when its raining that kinda feels like real life and similar kinda haze thing when its windy, almost like real life - both are nice and atmospheric and let you work with it by getting higher and interacting well with lighting and still letting you see silhouettes quite far in the distance then sometimes they just do blanket thick stupid fog like every lovely game used to have in the early 000s to mask draw distance that just loving sucks and scavs can see through and it fucken infuriates me why its in the game I don't want to have to do scav runs and alt-tab while I wait for not idiotic weather to pass
