I just had a long drawn out firefight in the storage area of customs. Inertia made it feel kind of wonky it but overall I thought it was fun having to put more thought into movement and positioning.

The inertia changes seem really good yeah. I didn't think you really could get rid of jiggle peeking but they did it and it works without feeling like you're moving through molasses.

First proper PMC run we had a friendly guy ask for a CMS kit, who then proceeded to tag along and befriend two more PMCs on the way to extract. loving extroverts ruining my games, I'm telling you.

The same happens on Lighthouse, if you hear the sniper shots going off constantly towards the end of the raid, its people running into the megasniper near the lighthouse

I've been seeing this with scavs too, not sure if it's an intentional change or if things are just being a bit Tarkov. Argh, wish the game would let me in, I wanna play.

Honestly it's peak tarkov, instead of all the traveling risking being shot by a guy in a place he shouldn't be or a super patient camper, you can be the threat of a bullshit death in a way that bypasses nearly all chance of someone killing you without you knowing they were there, plus you get the drop on them!

Exit camping factory was some of the most fun I've had playing this game.

Despite it being toxic, I really hope stuff like this isn't considered bannable because I think it feels better if you still can't be sure you can trust someone just because they talk to you

e: it would also open up new avenues of player interaction where you might recognize someone's voice so you can confirm shoot on sight if they trolled you before lol

More opportunities to get third partied as well, so I think that this is one of the inevitable consequences of voip BSG had to forsee. I thought the restrictions were for people who would spam their music or troll with game sounds instead of talking.

I doubt that baiting people into getting killed would be bannable.

I must be confused. So I spawn in as a scav in the hotel/motel//holiday inn thing. I leave and go to the gas station and notice some scavs loving around yelling and shooting at what I thought was my direction. I duck into some trees because I thought there was a player. I leave my cover and one scav throws a grenade at me, yelling somehting in russian, then another one shoots me in the head.

That’s Reshala and his boys. IIRC if your karma is low enough they’ll warn you to go away before unloading.

in russian, naturally.

snooch, basically scavs sound kinda weaker/higher pitched and the bosses/their minions and raiders sound deeper and more macho. if you hear a beefy russian dude yelling and he looks more kitted than a scav gtfo.

I remember when I first learned that being a scav doesn't make you friendly to bosses. I walked up to Killa on Interchange to check him out. Wasn't expecting trouble and peed a little when he opened up on me.

That is the only time in my Tarkov career that I have seen Killa alive.

Nobody because he didn't kill you and you had return fire permissions.

As a scav you basically just never shoot at anyone unless you're 200% certain it's a PMC, probably because they have already sent a hail of bullets towards you

sorry that I'm like 1/3 of the posts in this thread asking stupid questions... I have no idea what I'm doing. Are one of these people bosses? I lit a dude up in the gas station like, right in the face and he didnt die. I reloaded and did it again and then he did die.
