I just realized that this whole event is another real life mimicry. This time it's of sanctions.

I am so upset at myself for not having Shadowplay turned on! I normally turn it off when grinding Factory SCAV runs. I was underground looting boxes, with my knife out because I get killed more by friendly SCAVs than PMC, so I hope it makes players less likely to kill me. After I loot I see another player, and they shoot at me. I hide behind cover and realize I'm hosed, so I just charge at them and start stabbing hoping to die in glory. BUT I KILLED THEM!!!!!! Then their friend came down the ramp behind them and killed me. Turns out it was a Timmy. I think they couldn't finish me off because you can't shoot things in your face due to the gun folding in.

Been looking at this game for a while, thinking about picking it up during this sale. Is it worth getting the version that's currently 60 bucks? Does the stash fill up pretty fast?

They're always having sales. It's best to buy the cheapest version, then see if you like the game. It won't make you like the game any more having the advantages of the more expensive versions. One of the biggest mistakes people can make is being a loot whore. Just sell everything you collect except for items you are going to bring back in, and keep your stash relatively empty. At level 15 you can access the Auction House, allowing you to make more profit and buy what you're missing.

Are they really leaving player SCAVs broken? My past time was scaring raiding PMCs.

You can always upgrade for the difference in price between versions, get the cheap one and then upgrade later if you want

I like hunting PMCs as well they’re fun and can really help with fence rep. I popped a PMC in factory from the rafters 50M away with a mosin headshot and was feeling good. Then an ai scav started blasting me and I thought well maybe that wasn’t a PMC. He killed me and I thought what a bunch of poo poo this is.

I just killed a PMC in factory and was chased by tagilla and 2+ scavs for the next minute and change. 6+ scav rep and gained .04 on the exp screen. Not the first time it's happened either. It's back. Maxed strength for the first time and the elite perk feels like a cheat code. I know it's cliche to have opinions about this game but the entire skill system could be ripped out and it would be better for it.

Domed 2 PMC's at the scav checkpoint right in front of the 3 scavs that were standing there, but they didn't aggro me

Right now everyone is decked out and also people are playing differently as scavs since they think a wipe is coming soon (i think)

Crosby B. Alfred posted:What is this? When you reach max level with skills they connote extra bonuses to you to make players who play a ton and actually get some stats to max have an even bigger gap of advantage over people with less time to spend playing tarkov every day and probably won't reach max on any stats except like, metabolism. When you reach max strength any guns, armor, and tactical rigs become weightless when worn on your PMC. Extra nice now that the movement momentum system can put a lot of extra drag on you if you're heavy.

Has nikita ever acknowledged the insanity of the elite perks? I know I'm a latecomer to the game but from an 'outsiders' perspective it does seem like every wipe the game has made progress towards its weird vision and I don't see how the elite perks jive with that in the end (aside from the obvious gamification to keep the obsessives playing every wipe)

I think they've said that the skill system is going to get completely re-done at some point.

Elite endurance isn't quite as busted but it's still a low-key cheat code too.

This looks like they are trying to clamp down on rmt poo poo. You can't bring a bunch of bitcoins and tetri into raid and drop them for the guy that paid you $$.

Nah, you're reading it right and playing the game like a normal person. Sucks we won't be able to help a friend out with hideout stuff, but we can still help them find it in raid which I think is what they want us to do.

This seems fairly contrary to their prior stated plans for a physical trader on the map. why would i bother hunting players going to the trader if i can't take the barter poo poo they brought into the raid?

This really sucks for people playing with friends who, say, don't have the time to play enough to quickly breach 15 for the flea market. Friends handing me "hideout parts" was a pretty big part of what made the game so accessible to me in the first place. "Getting help" isn't exactly in the spirit of Tarkov, I get it, but gently caress this noise. I'm not getting my own Red Rebel any time soon.

Supposedly they even implemented anti-smurfing for cash. Nothing stops you from using your key to unlock a quest door for a friend if they need an item behind it.

its going to affect our friend group because we won't be able to share quest keys before a player leaves for the evening but w/e. I don't really care.

I don't see a problem with this at all, tbh. Sure, it makes things harder for groups to drop hideout stuff or whatever, but it's not like it becomes HARDER than just playing solo. Jeez.
