El Jebus posted:I've been trying to think about what might make it a better map with minimal changes and my first thought is always "what if they got rid of the fence preventing crossing anywhere in the bottom third?". It wouldn't be perfect but I think it would be better. Pier needs a 2nd entrance from the other side, maybe a land bridge connecting construction to the light house. Also put scavs back at road to customs and the green tower at the other end of the same road. Also don't think I've seen any ai at cottages or the village all wipe unless sani and his boys have spawned there. Shoreline scav spawns are super light this wipe.

More important loot locations that aren't the resort/Radar/pier would help immensely. Right now its just an empty map with 4 crossings that are high risk.

The entire quadrant with path to lighthouse only exists to lure PMCs to extract while they cross 500m of nearly bare terrain to be sniper bait.

Hey, so what ammo is most broadly useful for 5.45? I have been carrying BT so that I can win closer fights using full-auto, but it seems like scavs can just tank a LOT of hits with it. It actually seems more effective against PMCs, but I fight fewer of those, so I am not sure.

The rest of it either doesn't do any damage at range or doesn't pen anything. Copper For Lyfe posted:Pier needs a 2nd entrance from the other side, maybe a land bridge connecting construction to the light house. Oooo, a new path onto Pier would be good. I hate getting stuck there and I feel bad if I stumble upon someone trying to leave if I have a good scope because they can't get off that island without taking a couple hits.

Charles 1998 posted:You should be just one shotting slavs in the head. Their ai is really bad and easy to exploit. Good point and normally this is the case. This question was prompted by two player scavs last night, both of whom absorbed a minimum of 10 shots of BT and IIRC had zero armor. Also sometimes you turn a corner on a scav at six feet and gotta just give 'em the beans, it's nice if they die on bullet 2 instead of bullet 10 where they've shotgunned most of your face off.

A couple patches back they added variable hit point scavs. It's random but some can take twice as much damage as a PMC.

Unfortunately 5.45x39 is in a pretty bad spot compared to the past. Only the hottest AP rounds (Igolnik & BS) will reliably pen class 6 armour, and will take 3-4 shots to kill a man with chest shots. Going down tiers in ammo drastically increases that to like... 15-20, sometimes more. That being said it's pretty good against most else, but generally I find myself in situations where I die and wish I had more firepower. At least that's my excuse for dying when I'm holding an AK-74.

So what's the jam now? 7.62 isn't really useful for full auto, everyone gripes about 5.56 being weak. Just... shoot people more?

Scavs are usually naked or <T3. WirelessPillow posted:More important loot locations that aren't the resort/Radar/pier would help immensely. Right now its just an empty map with 4 crossings that are high risk. There is tonnes of loot if you can learn hidden stashes. Sometimes I get the feeling that people want every map to be Nuketown. The game is supposed to allow different playstyles and if every map is all action all the time then the only playstyle that'll work is chad meta. Each map needs space so that you can plan a safer route through it.

Ah yeah that's a really great app too. Really shows why the SVD is so drat popular, even with PS it slaps like a bitch. E: Actually gently caress the PKM is gonna be so hosed when it's released. Really wonder how they're gonna stop dudes with a fat machine gun just running around with a 200rd box of mosin rounds. Mellow_ fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Apr 13, 2022 |

Incoming Chinchilla posted:https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics#Armor_penetration_table The problem isn't the amount of loot, the problem is that Shoreline is nuketown with nothing around it. you either go to resort for a brawl, or traverse one of the kill lanes when crossing. The map would feel better if PMC's moved around more, if they felt there were more interesting locations to go to other than the resort or lurking stashes.

Probably the same way they deal with other gamebreaking guns, make them prohibitively expensive and hide them behind bullshit unlock quests with no flea access.

Just plain old thrown grenades are already really the strongest thing in the game at any kind of tossing range, much like real life I guess.

It would be nice if it did not try to logic trees and grass and poo poo. Might be good for interchange, makes your eyes bleed on woods or shoreline.

VulgarandStupid posted:It’s impossible for DLSS to not look more blurry than not using it. Why is anyone surprised by this? DLSS is specifically meant to implement a way of scaling the image that the average person won't notice during gameplay if it's done well. That's up to the specifics of the implementation though and the worse off it is the more obvious it is if you're not looking for it and of course some people are more sensitive to it than others. Unsurprisingly EFT's is a bit of a hackjob.

DLSS as a technology isn't at a place where it's suitable for games that require a high amount of detail/fidelity at long ranges. It's a great tech, incredibly useful for most games, but nowhere near where it needs to be for competitive FPS games where you are going for pixel-perfect accuracy on very small targets.
