Are the wipes at any specific interval or is it just whenever the devs release some new feature or randomly decide that too many players are at level X? I just recently got the game and they don't seem to have any info about them on their website or in the OP here but they are mentioned in like every post.

Seems like they should just call them "seasons" and make it a bi-annual or something. Regardless, the game is fun and I killed some level 30 dude the other night with a broken rear end ak with no dustcover or stock and got my rear end lit up while looting his corpse so 10/10 great game.

Just Chamber posted:I thought that too but his visor was down with zero damage to it, very strange, can 366 AP one tap defender armor? It did have some damage. The game servers were making GBS threads themselves yesterday evening, perhaps the pmc just got disconnected? I had a completely full inventory and got to the RUAF roadblock last night with like 20 seconds left and the server kicked me and I lost everything. It wouldn't let me join any new games and the "getting ready" screen had like nobody on the map.

Spent all evening last night getting stuffed into a locker by groups of terminator armored chads and finally got a single face tap on a lvl 51 dude immediately as he leaned and poked his head around a corner to murder me and a buddy. The guy was geared to the teeth and carrying at least one other high level pmc's gear/loot and I felt his rage through the internet like a disturbance in the force.

Incoming Chinchilla posted:Thanks for the info. Bought it now (loving expensive for a Beta lol!). I'll join the discord but will probably play a few weeks to get the super basics out of the way. Do offline raids with no pve on one or two maps until you know where to go, the most frustrating part for me learning was that the exits are mostly inconspicuous and have no way at all of knowing where they are without pulling up a map online. Some are easier to tell but most are just a description of an area and you have to be in a specific spot to extract. Also offline will let you learn the mechanics and maps without losing all your starting gear and $

LGD posted:
Yeah I agree with everything posted here. I'd say this is the order to take for sure. 1. Offline raids with no pve just to learn the spawn spots and paths to the exit from them. 2. Offline raids with pve enabled to learn scav behaviors and spawn locations of loot and scavs 3. Jump into a real game solo with in-game headphones and curl up into a fetal position silently and listen for footsteps. I also agree with the sentiment about group games being somewhat difficult in regards to communication. It's a constant comms game of "was that you moving? I heard movement." or "I have no visual on you anymore, sorry if I get spooked and kill you" or "I see a PMC, he's by the *generic description of map asset that could be literally every location in the map*"

Anyone else notice audio glitches with the latest patch? It seems like every now and then my own character sounds like someone else stepping on wood in my right earpiece. It's been freaking me out constantly on every map and even when there's no wood anywhere near by.

Malefitz posted:
Yeah I did the exact same thing and haven't played woods since because it pissed me off that I could have easily done it if the stupid janky game had told me I only planted one of the two items. "Place" should be fixed to say "place water" or "place lunchbox". Also it's pretty frustrating to have all the quests to kill scavs on woods and there are like zero scavs on that map. I think in a total of about 10 runs I encountered only 7 scavs and only managed to do the unarmored 5-kill quest. Woods is a lovely map and I don't like it at all. I wish more early quests were on interchange or shoreline.

You'd think that with the amount of money they've made on this game they would hire at least one english-speaking person to re-write all the Google translated nonsense in the quests. Half the time I just straight up have to look the missions up because the descriptions are just complete word salad and the objectives aren't clear.

ShowTime posted:Been a few days since I played and even with the BTC nerf i'm loving having some passive income. Feels good to not play for a weekend and have more money than when I stopped playing. If this is what true Tarkov feels like, i'm about it. *plays for 150 hours and still not even lvl 20* Yeah sure would be nice to make millions for doing nothing in-game and to never worry about losing your gear to a random face tap 30 mins into a raid after completing two quests that require extracting alive for the sixth time in a row.

I found a dead scav out there one time when I was scavving and went to grab his backpack and blew off both legs. Luckily my exit was at the lighthouse but hobbling at the slowest speed in the game down the beach highway and across that little land bridge while yelling in pain and agony and unable to see more than five feet from pain tremors was probably the most unsettling feeling I've had in tarkov... even as a scav.

Inspector_666 posted:Either you're gonna have to sneak up on it and plant a charge to kill it, or they're adding RPGs and either way: Nah. Or it's just a cosmetic timed event like the train in reserve that just brings the boss and a bunch of raiders into the map. You can see them all hop out at the end of the video. Maybe it's an extract after you kill the boss.

Orv posted:Unfortunately you can see the turret beginning to turn towards the player and BSG doesn't strike me as the kind of studio that makes a purely cosmetic autocannon. Nikita mentioned something about the scav karma system rewarding players who "protect bosses". It would be pretty badass to spawn in the APC turret with a high-enough karma.

Seems like it's still basically impossible to match with a group of 2+ players. All last night I was trying with friends and we only managed to get into one raid in like two hours because the matching would go for like 15-20 mins trying to find a match, several times it would just crash to the loading profile screen and had to be alt+f4'd We ended up running scav on interchange a bunch which was a lot of fun with the other player scavs not being aggro. We had two raids where we found another scav squad and ran around the mall 8-deep looting and shooting pmcs.

The new update made it even easier, you don't even have to fight them any more. You just press F1 and wiggle a little and they come right over, bang, pow, thanks for the water filter dumbass You know if you extract with them you get free XP, fence rep, gear, and money right?

Hooplah posted:Those crashes sound messed up, that sucks. I'm glad that's not happening to me, all I get is that thing where the game hangs for 3-5 mins after every raid. which, when you die to a stiff breeze like i do, really adds up. I think this is network/router related, if you're using some ISP 'rental' modem/router combo device it's probably the culprit. I play with a group of friends and the only one with a Comcast modem/router always complains about this and takes like 3 mins longer than us to get back to the main menu despite having a better PC than everyone else. It seems like it's trying to load your profile data when the spinning load icon is at the bottom right.

poe meater posted:I can't figure out why I can't trade in the shotgun for the gunsmith part 1 quest. It seems like it checks all the boxes. I think you have the same problem as me and it's 48 ergo and needs to be 47 because of the railed foregrip rather than the sprut The gunsmith quests are so dumb, it should be a wider option of attachments to accomplish the same thing (ie, get a laser, pistol grip, and extended mag, under 4 squares) rather than the exact configuration of basically one set of parts needed to get the exact number of ergo or recoil that you have to fiddle with or lookup on the wiki.

For every one suspicious kill by a hacker there's probably a dozen hackers running around avoiding all other players and plugging the best loot on the map in their rear end. It's just such an easy game for people to cheat completely unnoticed by the community.

Mesadoram posted:The one thing I always struggled with in this game is seeing players/scavs. I don't know if it is because I am getting old or if it is just the game having rather muted colors that blend into each other. Me getting killed 40% of the time (seems to be at least) is because I could not recognize that thing in the distance was something I needed to kill. If you don't have the postfx stuff enabled it's definitely worth a try. If you open a raid in offline mode and go to the options there is a 'visualize' button that will make the menu GUI disappear so you can play with all the sliders in-game and choose one that makes it a bit easier to see.

I swear, almost every time I go out as a Scav it's like 10 minutes on the dot before I get one. I even switched ISPs for a bit to check if it was that but nope, still disconnects into game crashes all day. I had this happen once this wipe when loading into a game as a scav. It eventually let me rejoin the game and I haven't seen it since.
