I turned off the PMC Questing mod since I think it was making they game super hitchy for me. I think it may have also increased the amount of PMCs in general too since I've been killing nothing but them and I need to kill scavs.

The Looting Bots mod got updated for SPT 3.7.1 a few hours ago.

I think the visceral mod is updated fine, but it's been moved to Nexus, there was some drama or something and he decided to not have it on the normal SPTarkov site anymore. Not sure why

As you found, it is also pretty performance intensive. I used it for about 4 raids before I ditched it for more frames.

I've found Looting bots to be more than sufficient to get the bots running around the map getting into fights, and they do things that actually matter from your perspective, questing bots doesn't make that much of an additional difference for how intensive it is.

Would there have been any real benefit to buying one of the higher tier EFT packages? I'm still a noob, so I may have missed the memo that the Gold Tier (or whatever) was the best value. I don't think so, but it just popped into my head so I thought I'd ask.

If you enjoy the game and can afford the spend, 1000%. The bigger secure container is nice, bigger stash is super helpful, and IMO the bonus trader rep is the most useful part. You can basically coast to level 3 traders without really having to focus on specific tasks too much, eliminating some of the more annoying stretches of the trader LL progression.

You can upgrade your edition at a reduced cost if these benefits look like something you'd want.

My first wipe was on a standard account, and I'm a big fan of playing it once that way. If nothing else, it should prevent you from being one of the morons that screams that there's no in-raid advantage to not having to spend like 30m RUB on stash upgrades (that can go into gear/ammo instead), being able to get easier access to cheap vendor gear/ammo thanks to the rep bonus, and/or the power of having the second largest secure container in the game from level 1. Then if you are hooked, drop the cash for EoD for the next wipe. Full disclosure: These days even as a fairly casual player this wipe I'm doing a very limited flea/kinda hardcore self-imposed ruleset, so I'm clearly a glutton for punishment.

Those first few "parity with EoD" stash upgrades used to be a LOT cheaper too, years ago. Then the price climbed up and up. The most noticeable of various little things designed to pressure people into buying EoD. Jokes on them, I haven't paid a cent for this game. I got an early beta code from some goon. I can't remember his name, but way back when everyone on the discord loved him for being absurdly accurate at throwing grenades long distances. Thanks again, Goon.

if you like the game without EOD you will like it more with EOD. if you don't like the game without EOD you probably won't like it with EOD either

The best part about EOD is early wipe and having the space to collect all the poo poo you know you’re going to need ahead of time. It’s really satisfying to turn in 6 collection quests in a row.

Flashbacks to being on a standard account and it was 5 white body armours you needed to turn in plus a load of shotguns and you couldn't hand them in as you found them.

Gotta love when a quick 5 minute trip to dorms for the machinety key ends up in a slow waddle to extract (it's the one time the car isn't there), fat with class 5 armor and hundreds of rounds of good ammo from Rashala and the boys.

it does, but it's using simple geometric forms from the base game, not true LOS.

There is an option in SAIN for a more accurate bush detection thing, you have to enable the advanced options to see it. Also, I like to use this https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1453-that-s-lit/ it helps bot detection make more sense and be less binary.

you folks have any opinions on Dark and Darker? I've been checking in on it once in awhile for about a year now but never pulled the trigger because A) it sounds like it's always one day in court away from disappearing and B) it seems to have combat that makes the Elder Scrolls look fluid and graceful

Looks like EFT: Arena drops tomorrow, December 17th. Nikita confirmed it in person at DreamHack Hannover. Access to the Beta will go out in waves. Some people are saying it depends on when you bought the "Bad With Money" edition and how munch time you have played. Arena already shows up as a tab in the EFT launcher. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikestubbs/2023/12/16/escape-from-tarkov-arena-beta-launches-tomorrow/?sh=20b7089a6756

Best starting kit is Champion: comes with headset, blue laser, a proper sight and I think heals. (Most) Kits will cost money, you start with about 1 mil RUB. Gain money and Arena Points (AP) on match wins, lost matches will get you negative APs, match making based on AP (basically ELO from what I've gathered). There are free kits but they are about as bad as you can think. Currently the kits are pretty unbalanced, so don't be surprised when your big man 60-rounder kit comes with M855 rounds. Player names are linked between Tarkov and Arena, if you change your name in one it'll change in the other as well, so beware.

Tibbeh posted:So has anyone gotten access to Arena yet? In classic BSG fashion it looks like access to Arena was limited to streamers and enough other players so the streamers can play matchmaking consistently. On twitter I saw several people with 2015-17 EOD purchase dates complaining that they didn't get an invite (Nikita said in past TarkovTV that people who bought EOD way back would have priority in the closed beta). I think the main thing driving all of the discontent is that BSG refuses to give a timeline on how invites will roll out, I feel like that would sort of dampen all of the pissed off players.

I don't have access and I upgraded my account to EOD in November of 2017. I have less than 1300 hours in game, and I seem to remember reading somewherethat how much you play will affect when you get the invite. Probably just a rumor, but who knows with BSG.

I just got four emails telling me I'm in, EoD was Jan '18 and I couldn't begin to tell you when I logged into the Arena site. E: Definitely unlikely that it's too concerned with in-game time, I've played almost nothing since 2019 and I don't think that criteria was ever mentioned by Nikita. I also, to be fair, don't know that they're actually running off any meaningful criteria at all. Orv fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Dec 17, 2023 |

The fact that it has to do the full EFT load, including the loot that is presumably talking about presets but is still taking the same amount of time as a full map, is extremely funny.

.Ataraxia. posted:So many dumb design decisions in this from what I can tell, but I can't stop mashing F5 on my email. BSG strikes again. Yeah so, the first and foremost problem is that matchmaking is done off your rank points. You get 25 points for a win and lose 25 points for a loss, which is something the rest of the industry moved away from a decade ago. Then your kit options are not at all taken into consideration when matching, which means even on day two you can already run into someone that you probably can’t reasonably kill if you’re starting late. Most of the starting presets are dogshit but they rapidly become imbalanced in wild ways. Only one tier into the right Assault tree you’re already sporting a really nice leg meta 153 while a lot of other kits are still working on lovely AKs running PS and SKSes with a bad sight. The tier after that you have good slugs in an 870 while almost every kit at that tier has class 3 armor, meaning all day chest instakills. And that’s just one tree, several others become quickly better than others while some just remain weirdly bad. The UX is also just weirdly bad. You’re locked into a kit for the entire match so why not just choose one at the ready screen once you know the map? There’s so many places they could have streamlined things from regular Tarkov but the fast PvP side game still takes just as long if not longer to get into a match once you click play. Regrettably however, the base combat remains really good and it feels a little snappier than regular Tarkov? People die when they take enough damage instead of three seconds later and maybe that’s enough to make me deal with all this bullshit? God help me. Also I got absolutely annihilated by two streamers on the first day which was a fun reminder of how bad I am now.
