Escape From Tarkov - "The DayZ you've been looking for! (minus the zombies)" - Games

[QUOTE=WTF Nuke;52713178]I like Dayz and the original wasteland mods for Arma 2 but do not like micro transactions or pre order bonuses. Is the game worth getting in its current state? How is the netcode? What do the extra bonuses really mean, both currently and once a full release comes out. My buddy also has it so that is a factor on the decision.[/QUOTE] Why don't you just ask your buddy then, he probably knows you better and can tell you if its a game for you or not. If you ask me, it's worth the money even now. It has certain thrill i missed since the early days of playing Rust with a constant fear for your base, your gear, your loot and yourself. Escape from tarkov lets you take whatever you dare to bet on your survival for a chance of finding or taking some more stuff. EFT has [B]tons of potential[/B] still not utilized, but its good already. I think game is in fairly good state at the moment overall. Before latest hotfix (after major patch), AI was just retarded and did not react to you much and missed most shots. Now ai is better again, but still not insta headshot 360 degrees spinbot machines like at some point so [B]i think its reasonable, scavs should not be free kills[/B], they should be on par with average geared player. Have not died to scav after update + hotfix as far as i know, only by players or players doing scav runs. There are some bugs still, which is reasonable and [B]performance [/B]is not too great considering you need gtx 1070 to play on medium. (But game looks pretty good even on medium) And there are some [B]balance issues[/B] with damage system they use: out of my 4 last deaths as main character, 2 were due to [B]dehydration[/B], even tho i had juice with myself and quickly fixed myself after taking hits in the stomach. [B]Quests [/B]are kinda iffy now, considering how difficult some are, and how trivial others, but it's a start at least. [B]Netcode [/B]is alright after the latest major update. It still lags sometimes, but there are no major desyncs like before (not that i encountered at least). TL;DR: EFT is atm worth ~35e, but has still lots of potential and unless they fuck up badly its only gonna get better. [editline]24th September 2017[/editline] PS. Highlighted important points to help skimming through post. [editline]24th September 2017[/editline] There are no microtransactions afaik, but pre order bonuses are considered pay2win by some, altho i don't really find them so crucial. Bigger alpha/beta/etc container is straight up op in some situations, but even then it's not such a big deal. If you kill someone, you get the most expensive stuff anyway and you don't usually have time or space to take everything.

Just lot my NVGs, fort, a kiver, my most kitted M4 to a pistol one tap from some naked guy in pitch black Woods. I don't understand how.

it's the EfT experience comrad ))

[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;52714477]Just lot my NVGs, fort, a kiver, my most kitted M4 to a pistol one tap from some naked guy in pitch black Woods. I don't understand how.[/QUOTE] Nothing saves from a headshot into face. Thats why i like this game. You could have amazing gear, but in the end if someone shoots you into unprotected area in your face, that's it. On another topic: [QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;52691487]Making it so essential gear (Skier) is locked behind finding a fucking helmet and fort.[/QUOTE] I just noticed that they have updated stocks of all traders to make it more entry friendly. You can now buy essential stuff like vests and armor from prapor and peacekeeper if you can't get friendly with skier. A really nice change if you ask me. Like they say, nothing is set in stone at this point and can change any day without notice to better or worse. Please don't judge this game by it's current problems that are trivial to fix. After all, it's in beta for a reason: it's playable for the most part, but it is not final product. [editline]25th September 2017[/editline] I also noticed i'm suddenly qualified for last tier with peacekeeper with 1.7millions (rub) spent. Woo! Now to get the required lvl 29 from current 26.

Well, I might have got me EFT for free from one of my friends. He got it but doesn't like the game at all, so he's gonna give me his account.

guess there's a new glitch on customs that allows you to get into water this guy was in the water with two teammates by him, he didn't seem to be taking damage, and he could prone under the water for as long as he wanted, where he couldn't get hit [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1HfsS7rOo[/media]

Is it me or do SMG's have a fuckload more recoil? At least the MPX and the PP-19, and they're more expensive than the main rifles by far which makes it seem like they're particularly useless.

The devs are basing it off real life instead of trying to make it balanced. Except for the scavs which are based on The Terminator. On that note, I think I'm done playing for a while. The game just isn't fun right now with the current scav AI. They see you before you see them 99% of the time and then they just lock on, fire away, and barely ever miss.

Holy shit, gotta wait 2 weeks to change the main email address.... Well, see you guys on the 10th, when I'll finally be able to play EFT

[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;52719668]Rifles are longer and heavier which makes the recoil easier to manage. The devs are basing it off real life instead of trying to make it balanced. [/QUOTE] Yeah sorry but no, don't think you know how much weaker a pistol round is compared to a rifle. SMG's don't tend to be significantly lighter than rifles, either.

God damnit, I am trying to get the fucking factory key so I keep doing scav runs in customs in the hopes I can get it then I get smoked by scav players because I have some shitty gun or a gun without sights. Such a pain in the ass to get this essential item. I just want to get this key so I can go back to playing my PMC and enjoy myself again.

Is it possible to joing specific players? Some guy with a PM killed me 3 times in a row somehow

Otherwise the way I got it was spawning as scav on night missions, bolting straight for the factory near the exits then going for the apartments. Otherwise best bet is going PMC in night raids and bolting for those two spots as fast as you can.

I was pretty mad when I lost them.

So I just saw this man sliding on the ground with a hatchet and then I just dropped dead. Was this the desync thing people mention? [url=https://puu.sh/xKGKf/0229e76ba9.webm]Here's a really shitty webm[/url] showing the scenario.

i really hope they're focusing on fixing the sound system, it's just so awful

got all this after killing 3 very geared players with an AKN [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/265975289711034369/364645510570704896/Eft_Screenshot_2017.10.03_-_00.26.03.68.png[/t] then lost it all shortly after to 2 player scavs camping the exit [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxiXPJxSZDA[/media] [editline]3rd October 2017[/editline] that's an alpha rig by the way lol

Should've run in that situation. Close to the building they wouldnt have a firing line.

Best run so far :v: [thumb]https://i.imgur.com/v09RrMu.jpg[/thumb]

Just ran Factory with guys from the FP discord and the we got into the map empty. About a minute in, all the scavs spawned at once in the same place. That was the one where I got 15 scavs.
