 Still short raid times for me, might be level/quest progress related?

They also took suburbs and town off the map, guess they don't want to bother making those now.

all of the changes are dope. the new map is a lot smaller than i originally thought but still fun. i enjoyed playing last night but my patience is already being tested. we encountered two blatants in a total of 6 raids last night. one sprint swung a door and headeyes'd both me and my mate that were sitting at opposite sides of the room in the split second it took for us to react to him swinging. missed zero shots. probably only wasted 4-5 m855 total. another teleported to me at spawn while solo on ground zero and head eyes'd me just as the spawn screen fade was lifting. i didnt see it coming as i was already trying to tab to check inventory. both were eod accounts. maybe my region is just dogshit. never change tarkov, lol.

Things I still hate and turbo-hate: not being able to drop crafting stuff for my friends who are hunting for some unicorn spark plug. BUT Besides that, the new wipe's going well. I enjoy the Ground Zero as a map, I've had good raids with good performance, I like how semi-auto feels, and I like the new armor update. I think I might play this wipe. So far I've had lots of positive feelings.

Yeah I've had very good luck not running into cheaters lately. Even at the end of last wipe when I was running meta guns with level 5 armor and a thermal just about every raid I only had one death I was sure was a cheater who laser beamed me at full auto through multiple layers of foliage in the dark. Then the kill screen came up and it was just my good friend Sektant. Its just really hard to know if the guy who killed you is cheating and a lot of people jump to conclusions.

You're gonna get deleted a lot regardless so if that bothers you or you can't quickly brush it off then maybe reconsider. Tarkov has a hacking problem but other games are no different. If you don't mind getting your teeth kicked in regularly it's the best game as far as shooting/looting goes. There isn't another game out that gives a comparable dopamine hit.

There are sometimes blatant cheaters but no more than any other online game. Most of the loud online crying you see is about being suddenly killed by a person you never saw. Arena having killcams made me feel much better about all this as some deaths that would have felt suspicious just turned out to be unlucky.

Either my time with SPTarkpv has made me better, I'm very lucky, or the recoil system is far better because I'm having much more luck playing right now than previously. Only 3-4 raids in I admit, but it feels great right now..

can't believe they took so long to do these recoil changes. it feels so fuckin good and anyone who turns around and starts saying full auto is too good or utters the phrase "laser beam" should be thrown out the airlock

It's been a while since I last played but the few raids I've done as a PMC on Ground Zero have loaded super fast. Probably the fastest I remember. Been getting killed super fast too

Incoming Chinchilla posted:Can I infer from the lack of discussion that the wipe update isn't mind-blowing? I'd say that is incorrect, this is easily one of, if not the best update the game has got. The new recoil feels extremely nice, vaulting mostly works great (a few janky spots going up rocks but pretty solid), armour changes shake things up a lot, the snow is genuinely an amazing addition, night raids in the snow fuckin slap, and a bunch of other QoL additions like mag loading presets and poo poo, its all great. New map is a bit of a clusterfuck, but not an unfun clusterfuck, the Shoreline overhaul brings it more in line with what Lighthouse's terrain feels like, and not so bare as it was before. Audio is still absolute toilet tho.

Incoming Chinchilla posted:Can I infer from the lack of discussion that the wipe update isn't mind-blowing? Most of the discussion happens in the Discord server. IMO this is the best state the game's ever been in. Recoil feels great, the new armor system coupled with the ammo rebalancing is good, and I was pleasantly surprised that vaulting doesn't feel nearly as janky as I was expecting. The only thing I can really complain about is the audio which hasn't really improved at all since they switched to the new, but worse, audio engine a year ago.

ground zero would be better if there were more rotation options out of the terra building. if you spawn in garage or at the coop extract go ahead and pk and then plan for immediate violence because both emercom and empire are probably about to sandwich you. snow is good and i wish there was a snow themed map all the time but woods is too drat bright and it hit during my woods quests so now i kinda hate it. tjones fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Jan 1, 2024 |

Matching for PMC has been good this wipe most raids take 1-3 minutes to match.

It's way better this wipe on PMC, just don't scav for another week or two probably imo. God, the snow is so cool. I think it's just seasonal but I hope it makes it into the weather rotation at some point

Shannow posted:armour changes shake things up a lot The new wipe is probably the best the game has ever been but this particular update feels like a miss in my opinion, it's a classic BSG overcomplication for something that needs to be simple for the sake of predictability and fairness. The best example I have from my time leveling up to 17 so far is when I got one-tapped in the chest by a single M855 bullet while wearing a level 4 armor. I sat there for several minutes trying to figure out what I was missing - damage from somewhere else, was my chest already hurt, etc - but nope, I was just one-tapped in the 85 HP chest by a bullet with 31 pen that does 57 damage while wearing level 4. If they're going to make significant hitbox and armor changes like this they should be accompanied by a system that give more information to the player - something that shows how I took damage, like UI elements in the post-death screen showing exactly which hitbox in the chest I was hit, whether the bullet fragmented, etc. As it stands it just feels like more lovely, difficult and opaque gameplay systems designed for punishment. The game already has plenty of that lol providing more information to the player would just help us make better decisions about what type of armor we want to bring into the raid.

I know, you know this, but the bullet just caught you in the pit and fragmented. It has a 50% chance of fragmenting! I feel like its obvious that you got shot and died. I just don't understand what the maybe's or confusing thing is here. If it hit your armour, you would be alive today. That's how you know it didn't hit your armour. I'm happy gear lords aren't god anymore. I'm having a lot of fun. e: You can make informed decisions by trying to pick armour with more and more covered areas, in the item description. They tell you what they protect and how strong the armour is there.
