I have a random question about healing. I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong or if it's meant to be a no win situation at that point, but when a limb has gone to 0, after bandaging it so it is no longer bleeding, and it doesn't require a splint, I still cannot heal it?

Is there another medication that needs to be applied to like a leg/arm? Bandage/Splint then Car/Selawa Heal Kit usually?

Limbs that reach zero, or “blacked”, cannot be healed without the use of a surgical kit.

You either need a SURV12 or a CMS kit. The major difference between the surgical kits is the SURV12 is one slot bigger, has more charges, and repairs broken bones.

After using a surgical kit the limb will have 1 health and have a slightly lower max health. But you’ll be able to heal the rest with a regular med kit.

I have like 300ish PMC raids this wipe and have yet to see a speed hacker like that (boy he is very bad at the game). Frankly I've only even suspected that I've died to a hacker just once.

Also coming back in a year probably won't help much. I wouldn't expect BSG to suddenly, over the course of a year, make the game hack proof or something.

It is intended to be insulting.

Gearlord (noun): A pejorative used by goons to describe someone with an extremely expensive kit

Its usage is kind of ironic because a lot of goons are consistently gearlords themselves or are trying to become financially secure enough to become gearlords. How have you not just understood its meaning via context? It's used on pretty much every single page of this thread.

I'm definitely at the point where I'm feeling this a bit more. Any recommendations for a good loadout that's a step up beyond the penis helm / 6B3TM budget default?

The kit that became my staple after 6B3TM/Penis helmet was either Killa Armor/Gen4 armor and either a ULACH or ACHHC. Both of those armors are level 5 and repair well, although Killa's armor is in a league of its own, and both helmets are a reasonable price and have a high ricochet chance.

Keep in mind though that the 6B3TM is such a goddamn good value that you should continue wearing it. Alot. Unless you're just mega rich and don't care about value.

That's just my preference though.

I get sound and I wish I could describe the situation a bit better. It wasn't a strategic element that got me killed, it was this guy being able to enter the doorway, ADS and hit me in the face in a split second. I can also tell where people are based on sound. It's not hard to hear something in your left ear and know it's in that direction.

It's called peeker's advantage. And it's a big deal especially in Tarkov.

Also some people are just that loving good. Like, watch a couple videos from someone like Worrun. His reactions are insane. Some people are basically human aimbots and you just don't stand a chance.

It's a massive change, you just haven't really thought it through.

It's also a bad change the more I think about it. The flea market has been extremely good for the game. The downsides of the flea market, like market manipulation, etc do not even come close to canceling out the benefits and accessibility that it brings. People buying mods, ammo, guns, etc and listing them on the flea market after buying them from traders was a good thing since it didn't lock gear behind a lovely, terrible rep/mission grind. More people got access to better gear quicker. The only thing someone needed to become seriously competitive is money. Now you need money, rep and experience.

I'm happy all of you are excited about scarcity. I'm not. I've played this game when there was no flea market at all. The flea market allowed you to be competitive without needing to do BSG's poo poo quests for the nth time. You had the option of choosing to do the quests or just ignore them and go fight people and play with your friends. I've done these quests now at least 5 times and they're awful. And now progression and what gear you can buy is basically locked behind them. Nah. No thanks. Absent any other significant content, a quest re-work, complete skills overhaul, or Streets of Tarkov being done I'm not interested in the game at this point.

The weight system changes and the flea market changes I believe are actively detrimental to the game. So I'm not going to play. :)

Cup Runneth Over posted:

I'm just going to do what I did before the flea market existed, which is grind quests, then grind levels, then buy everything I need from traders.

This is what I'd do if I were going to play. But I don't want to do the quests again if I'm forced to for gear progression reasons. So I won't.

i vomit kittens posted:

but I think it could be cool to see more people running lower grade guns/armor because that's all they're able to find.

I've experienced this. At a certain point in the wipe you're going to find that people have ground enough that they're just buying everything from traders. Getting rid of the flea market moves the gear lords over time graph a little further out and flattens it a bit. But eventually everyone is buying the best poo poo. So early in the wipe everyone is going to be in heaven because it's going to be scav guns/sks's/mosins galore, and it's going to last a couple weeks. Then eventually the dam is going to break the first wave of people are going to hit certain levels of trader access and the wipe is going to look pretty familiar to what it was like before the flea market changes, except there will be more have nots and less haves.

That's cool that some of you are excited about that. I'm just... not. So I'll wait until they release something more significant before suffering the quest grind again.

ShowTime posted:

You can still also find everything on the flea market still, it's just gonna be more expensive.

Maybe. In my original post this was why I'd said I'd just wait. Because you have no idea how expensive poo poo is going to be yet. My initial feeling is that it's going to basically be unusable at least for everything that I'd primarily used the flea market for in the past. So we'll see. I'm sure you guys will post about it.

You guys complaining about market barons are missing the forest for the trees. Market Barons were a problem, but weren't really the problem. The problem is that buying gear from vendors is gated via the quest system and the quest system sucks. The flea market allowed you to circumvent it and get gear, at a premium, on the flea market. This was a good and cool thing. I could go to any map I wanted without having to worry about whether or not I was making progress on collecting obscure poo poo for a glorified wall of text with a picture so I can unlock foregrips and better ammo.

None of this matters anyways, I'm not playing this game again until the quest system is better or they take the chains off the flea market. I've dumped hundreds of hours into this game and done the quest chains 4ish times now. Just not interested in the same lovely loop. I might play for a bit just to see if Streets of Tarkov meets any of the hype, but I'm not holding my breath.

This is probably a dumb question, but is there no such thing as Scav solidarity? I think 9 out of 10 of my Scav runs, I've been killed by another player Scav.

I need to just throw myself into games more so I can get past the fear of getting ganked because this is a gank simulator so far. Level 10 seems so far away.

Congratulations, you've discovered that player scavs are your worst enemy and you should kill them on sight. Player scavs are the most dangerous enemy in the game whether you're a player scav yourself or you're a PMC, imo. On very rare occasions you can wiggle yourself into cooperating with another player scav but I found that wiggling got me killed so often I just stopped doing it.

They're supposedly going to implement some kind of karma system at some point to promote cooperation, but who knows when that'll be finished. Until then just kill player scavs the moment you recognize them. Try to avoid killing regular NPC scavs unless you can help it or you really want/need their poo poo. It'll aggro other scavs if they're around and you'll reveal your position.

Streamer chat: Veritas might be the biggest whiny baby I've ever seen. I had one encounter with him. Me and a buddy were on customs, just outside the custom's house near the trains heading to the river. I went underneath a train and heard someone behind me, but thought it was my friend so I hesitated. It was Veritas with a TT and he got me good. But he died while looting my body because he forgot the golden rule of Tarkov: There is always one more. Went to go and watch the stream replay and hoooo boy he was mad. Just the whiniest jackass.

Just watch Worrun and Smoke if you're going to watch anyone.
