I am 100% addicted. Though I probably spend more time in inventory management than actually doing raids

Getting to lvl 3 Peacekeeper is a huge help. I can finally afford to use ARs, like god intended. You can also buy and resell ammo from him and basically make your own ammo free >.>

Ragman lvl 3 is also a big boost. There are a handful of good plate carriers that you can trade for around 60k worth of barter items, and then get your money back on the market from selling them damaged.

There are some gameplay mechanics that annoy me. Sprinting and jumping are super arcadey and needs an overhaul. The ability to make recoil-less full auto guns is dumb. Getting shot at 10 seconds after spawning as a PMC sucks. Items should automatically stack in your inventory.

Finally got my group playing today.  Had some great runs including a scav run where we both had to walk crippled accross the map (woods) with our ill-gotten gains.  Had a big firefight at the lumbermill that killed 2 of us.  Found 2 bodies, not sure if there were others.  Buddy and I proceeded and engaged 2 PMC's near Scav House, killed 1, other scooted off somewhere.  Both of us had shot out legs and down to 4 mins with our extract being outskirts.  Heard some more shooting in the area but we ignored it and focused on extract and somehow made it.  I extracted with 25secs left on the clock, buddy got to extract with 7 secs left!  The loot wasn't all that great, I got a Kedr, Adar, and my 870 that I spawned with, along with a couple of keys out.  Buddy got an SKS with a can of some sort and an SA58.  Good times

It is difficult to make the argument to use anything AR other than the AK74M early game to me. The AK105 works well for a better CQB version of the same thing.

You're right.  I have to admit that I bought 3 of those full cases back when it was $3.4/rd (360 commie dollars).  It's kind of broken how they just randomly change things during the wipes.  I started using the AS VAL instead of the HK so I haven't been burning 995 much at all.

If they would actually put money into the servers this wouldn't be an issue. Maybe do something about the people using scripts on the fleamarket to make the average player experience more enjoyable while reducing server load at the same time. Stop with the YouTube series and make the game you are promoting actually work.

That isn't how they operate and is why this game goes through cycles of being popular.  I've been playing only this game for over a year and there have been stutter/dsync issues since I picked it up.  The matching problem is definitely one that is at an all time bad for being mid-wipe.  Generally every time they make a large update to the game it is nearly unplayable for a few days to a week because of the player influx.

Over time they will adjust and things will get better, but it won't be quick.  Here is what Nikita posted two days back about this:

Ya I just waited for 20 minutes to do a scav run on Reserve. Finally got in, then with like 9 minutes left in the game I had a silenced P90 with eotech, an AVS and can't remember which nice backpack. Disconnected and I couldn't reconnect.

had a good one today. did a skav run on reserve, waited out the timer and looted corpse like the rat I am, had less than a minute left and heard player footsteps. tried to wait them out but they didnt leave, so I made a break for it, well so did they, and they beat me to the extract. I hoped they didnt want to fight with less than 20 seconds left but as I ran up they opened fire, I returned with my PP91, not sure if I got one or not but he dropped out of sight. I ran for the exit while the other guy chased me. I proned in the exit and he was coming in quick. I made it out within a second or two of him getting me. Time was single digits at that point. I wonder if he even made it out.

I think they did something to the match making. PMC rounds seem shorter and lately as scav I've only had 10 minute rounds to get out.

My war story or the day is me and a couple of buddies were on  shoreline. We were  looting admin building and a guy popped my friend. he came into the door way me and the other guy were watching. He killed my other friend after i opened fire on him. we were doing a pistol run i might add so i just had a surpressed glock with a 50 round mag.. I thought i heard him healing up so i charged him. Turned out i popped up behind his buddy that was patrolling that hall. I started unloading into his back and he ran back down to the past the first guy presumably yelling "Help me daddy! help me!. and when he turned to face me i managed to kill him with my last pistol round. The first guy executed me before i could even think about turning around. Only way i knew it was my last round that killed the guy was the stat screen afterward.

Dude, nothing gets the ticker going like a fire fight as you can feel the clock ticking down.  Had one of those yesterday on customs.  Got out with like 9 seconds left.  We were fighting a 2 man to get to the ZB1011 extract.  No idea if they made it out.

its a very steep learning curve and without skav runs to build up stash the game would be unstartable. but once you get the hang of the maps and learn to only use top tier ammo it starts to numb the fact that you still constantly die lol.

Highly suggest learning the game with a group or solo on scav before giving up.  Build your cash reserves on scav. And accept death.  Anyone whos says they play tarkov and rarely die is full of it.  I always look at my guns and gear as disposable items.  I insure them but if everything goes tits up and I lose my kit, oh well.  Insurance returns are just a bonus.  So don't run expensive gear at the start.  SKS's are great because they almost always come back on insurance.  They have shit resale and take up room for something juicier.  Mosins are better while also generally being left on the battlefield they can also destroy some of the best armor and 1 tap fully kitted PMCs.  Lots of great deals to be had on AK variants on the flea market for little cost.  I usually would recommend the Adar but the good 5.56 is being neckbearded worse than it was in real life under Obama.  Traders sell it in limited supply and people buy it up and relist it for jacked prices.

Also offline mode with PVE mode enabled is a great learning tool too.  Turn on "scav war"(this makes the scavs fight each other) and it will help you learn where they spawn even quicker.

You are going to get shit on by PMC's and scavs at the start, there's really no way around that.  This is one of the few games where knowing IS actually half/most of the battle.  Knowledge of what to use, where and when to go is more important than raw skill.

This guy has a great starter guide for life after you get a little income going.

Yeah, the servers are pretty awful right now. Threw a few grenades on top of people that didn't do anything, pumping mags into people not even wearing armor not doing anything. Disconnection in game. Finally died to another PMC, after I unloaded 10 rounds of M995 and 20 of M855A1 into him with no effect.

How many hours? I’m coming up on 250hrs and there are still plenty of times where I go in fully geared and get one tapped right off the bat. That’s just the nature of the beast that is tarkov.

I’ve actually been doing shitty the last couple of days hemorrhaging gear and money when yesterday I went into a midnight woods raid with shit gear and a vss with 7n9 spp and walked out with 1.5mil roubles worth of gpnvgs, thermals, team Wendy exfil helmets, 416s, etc.

I just noticed skier is going to be selling m855a1 on the next reset for 292 R. Unless I’m completely out of the loop, this is new. So anyone heavily invested in this ammo might want to dump it before it tanks.

He's sold it as long as I've been playing it. M855A1 sells for so much because it's really the only viable 5.56 ammo, unless you want to pay $14 per round with M995
