Current guess is late this week or next week for the next wipe. Have a video that made me laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2ktAzWyXQ

PSV ammo for the Makarov will make short work of anything without armor. PMM is also great but harder to get. Once you level Skier up a bit you can get a barrel+silencer for the Tokarev, which when combined with the silver/black ammo is a murder machine that eats armor and shits dead bodies for like... 10k Rubles.

Mainly I want a wipe and patch that removes the instant-topping up of magazines The meta right now of go in with a silenced M4, with two 60 round mags and 200 loose rounds is lame If you watch any of the top streamers you'll see them spray all 60 rounds downrange, reload, instantly top up the now empty mag, and keep going until the entire map is dead Sure you can get a lucky shot off or sneak up behind them, but trying to compete with 60 rounds coming your way (silenced) is a real chore Stuff like that should be pretty rare and few and far between

New best 5.56x39 is now the HP round. Prapor sells it, it's silver in color. poo poo shreds everything. Dropped a player with 2 to the chest, and he was wearing PACA. Get them while they're hot! There was an updated ammo dmg chart on the official forums somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it up, but 5.56x39 HP is god-tier now. Edit: A reload animation to stop the instant reload speeds has been confirmed by Kleen in one of his streams.

As you level up your respective skills, you'll get a more precise count and get faster at reloading a magazine. They're also going to make first aid have an animation at some point as well.

SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:Ah good, gate poo poo behind skills so grinding is the only way to catch up to people rather than just killing them and taking their stuff. I feel like maybe this got glossed over in this thread so far, so here's some words;  The game Escape From Tarkov is right now, is nothing like the game the developers intend it to be.Everything, from loot speed to mag packing and from grenade throw distance to melee damage, is eventually going to be governed by skills. Skills that, if the current values stay in place, will take a very long time to max out. Further, if you don't play Tarkov for a while, your skills will degrade to certain break points. There's also the karma system. Tarkov is intended to be a team/faction and group oriented shooter. BEARS are not supposed to kill each other, nor are USEC, PvP should be cross faction, and PMC vs scav only. The devs have so far stated some pretty harsh penalties for same faction killing. Nausea (hand shakes, blurry vision, slower reloads and weapon handling), weapon jamming and other fairly severe systems have been talked about for punishing these people. Given how they've bent to player whining so far, that system may not end up as harsh as they've spoken of, but the possibility is there. Finally there's the hideout. When/if the maps all get combined into a single large DayZ style, large player count map session, to extract your gear you'll have to reach points near the exteriors of the combined play field, in order to extract things to your hideout. Your hideout will start as a dilapidated bunker with almost no amenities, and through quests, loot and money spent, you can upgrade it to have a variety of functions. Notably, it's how you'll get more stash space once the packages are gone. It's also had some troubling comments from the devs, like having to track down, build and power your own PC in order to access traders. Or a continual need for gas to keep the generator running in order for permanent wounds (also an eventual feature between raids) to heal. If the team is actually capable of doing everything they want, the game that exists now won't exist at all, aside from the gun mechanics, in a year. Just keep that in mind when you're buying/playing it.

SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:wish someone had told me before buying it. if the current systems are kept i'll have plenty of fun but im not interested in honest to god skill grinding in 2017 To be fair, you're already grinding the limited skill set that's in place just by playing the game. You've probably already noticed that you can sprint for longer than you could when you first started playing. The game will probably continue to be baseline playable (take gun, shoot man, take him gun, leave place) without ever even looking at your skill tree.

At least one of those informations is 100% incorrect because the devs said that the maps will never be combined. Take everything elsw with a grain of salt.

I initially fell into the trap of getting too attached to my loot and would only do scav runs (and shoot other scavs because I thought this was That Kind of Game). Eventually drove me to stop playing and uninstall. Today I'm saying gently caress it and throwing caution to the wind, because now that the wipe is incoming I really can't justify doing anything else. Hopefully that sticks post-wipe.

You'll still be able to reload/see what's in a mag. You'll just be faster/more effective as you skill up. So instead of checking a mag and seeing "About half full" you'll see "1/4 full, 1/3 full..." and eventually an exact round count after you've leveled up enough. It's part of the game now. When you level up certain weapon platforms (AK, M4) your reload animations get faster and change.

Probably be the end of the month, potentially as soon as this weekend. I expect it'll be a fairly sizeable update. Expands out shoreline to (I think) almost 2x the current size, adds the AKM + some other gun bits, probably tweaks quests and adds new ones for Peacekeeper. They usually release preliminary patch notes a few days out.

If you want to play uber cautious, go into the raid with a Makarov or Tokarev + some ammo, and a bottle of water/juice. Wait until about the 35 minutes elapsed mark, then start moving slowly. You can also check extracts via the console. Scav extracts are easy to see because it'll say Wild Vest. Players are a little harder, but usually you can tell by their guns and such.

Definitely explains some of the tactics I've been seeing this time around, and considering how simulationist this game tends to be with damage in other cases, it doesn't add up that you can recover that quickly.

i don't mind skills and getting better at certain guns through skill grinding, but i do mind having to keep playing in order not to "forget", which is dumb, and i REALLY mind not being able to use a gun because my level isn't high enough. in a game that constantly jerks off about realism that mechanic makes zero sense. Kraven Moorhed posted:Good lord, I've already lost all my stockpiled guns and not a single extract. in case you're playing factory: don't play factory. play customs instead and take it slow. wait for people to press on and kill scavs, then loot the scavs / fallen players a safe distance behind them. if you do it right you're never going to get into a single shootout and fill every pocket you have with loot.

Is this something they had in mind ? I have never read anything about skills being forgotten over time if not used , but I may have skimmed over that However the not being able to use a gun thing because of skill level is not true , it's just that the more you use a particular gun the more you rank it up ... And this unlock the ability to utilize it more efficiently Such as faster reloads or tactical reloads or quicker immediate actions on a stoppage

Knifegrab posted:Is there anyway to change "teams". I am worried I won't be able to play with friends. There is a way to do this. It's a complete account reset and will let you pick faction, account name, and restock your stash with everything you had when you first loaded up the game. It can only be done once every two weeks. You'll lose all quest/level progress too. In the launcher click your profile in the top right and go down to reset profile which should open a web page in browser (I'd post the link directly here but I'm not on my home computer). Some guys in the official discord told me this when I complained that I'd lost everything. It's instant, but you will have to restart the game to see the wipe.

You should always use your stuff all the time. Things come, things go. Thus us life in Tarkov. Eventually you'll have enough stuff that you don't worry unless you just play really stupid. mellowjournalism posted:Ah nice, was just wondering this last night as I spammed tab to check ammo count. Think they'lll make drum mags take 2x2 or 3x1 space instead? A chest rig full of drum mags is dumb as hell lol Probably not. Higher capacity mags are expensive (a 60rd AK mag costs almost 50% as much as the gun) which is their limiting factor. They may tweak cost but IDK since its supposedly based on IRL cost. mellowjournalism posted:Also I have a zillion questions but I'll just start with this one: Can players hear your healing sound effect? Does that poo poo carry beyond say, a wall? Anything related to opening/using items in your inventory is only heard by you. Reloads and pulling nade pins obviously being exceptions to this. I might be wrong, but I've never heard it. mellowjournalism posted:Does anyone sell tokarev mags or does prapor only take barter items for them? Trade only unless you find them on Fence. I always take any I find in raid out if I have room.
