Time to go....

So many hours on this game mainly PvP but I can't do it anymore,

I don't know if it's cheating sometimes or just bad game. But the weapons need some looking into, I have put 30 rounds into the side of a guys head just for him to turn and kill my in 2-3 shots and many other cases similar.

I can't hear anything anymore, all I hear is the wind and the birds or frogs, I have people run right up beside me and I never heard a single sound.

I can be laying in a bush , people show up to the area and instantly hone in on me, I haven't moved shot or anything.

The full auto spray and mag dumps from 100-150+ meters away is out of control as well. Skill issue or not it's insane.

I honestly am at a loss right now, this game used to be so good but lately it doesn't make sense anymore. PvE is still good but meh....

I can't be the only one having these issues? Am I just crazy? Or am I at least a little justified?

I mean I've never been really good at the game just mediocre but lately I can't even get to an enemy before I die. Buy gear, travel 3 minutes then donate the gear and start over again.🤣

Anyone else having the same problems or running out of patients with the game lately?

There are not “too many players”

I keep seeing these posts about how there’s too many people, servers are crowded, etc…

The game is limited to 16 players per faction, per server. That’s 48 people on a really massive map.

If more people are playing, they don’t add more people to each server, they open more servers.

Tier 3 areas do get hit more often, so often they will be picked over, but honestly I have really good luck in tiger bay. The UN hq, refugee camp, and municipal building have more gear than the mall does, just about, and it’s guarded by flip flops.

Honestly, it’s so easy to get geared there, my favourite play now is to go in with just a 1911 and a backpack. Usually I’m heavy even before I get to the mall.

2 newb questions

Didn’t see this anywhere so…

  1. for people that don’t wear helmets, how do you operate at night without night vision? Only option i see is put it on helmet

  2. I play on US central and started hitting
    2 end game zones… there is constantly people there, enemies are usually dead and most loot is taken. So are there just to many players now or do you have to play crazy times to experience those zones untouched?

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to look forward to this 0.5

For now, we don't have any new information regarding 0.5, but things are getting tough because I know the best is yet to come. And I can't wait to see what Madfinger has in store for us. Also, Grayzone has completely replaced Tarkov for me; it's my main game, even though the content is less developed. Recently, I had a PVP fight without any shady players against 5 guys, the 5th one got me, it was amazing! Come on Madfinger, don't you have something to tease us with in the meantime? Love you guys!

Dear lord never have I ever experienced this BS

YBL Bunker decided it had enough of me 💀

Running the Lab Rats Mystery Machines task in YBL, I cleared the majority of the bunker. Room by room. Hallway by hallway. I finally get to the point where I'm thinking, “Alright, I think this floor is clear.”

BOOM.

Blindside. Instant coma.

Fine. Whatever. I respawn, and now my Operator is apparently auditioning for Cirque du Soleil because I’m permanently stuck in the falling animation. 😂

Had to end the deployment at the COP.

So I gear back up, make the 15-minute trip back to YBL, get to where my body should be...

“Body is too old.”

BRO. WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOO OLD?!

I WAS THERE 15 MINUTES AGO.

My body didn't decompose. It didn't get married and move on. It didn't retire to Florida.

IT'S BEEN FIFTEEN MINUTES.

At this point I don't even know if I died to the AI or if YBL just decided to file my corpse as historical evidence. 💀

What's fun?

Currently stuck into a situation where servers are full, just like most of people complain about and i am not here for that. I also enjoy some PvP where loot is just epic compare to PvE (more risk i guess but well rewarding).
Anyway, while on PvE i am trying to find myself fun ways to enjoy the game, I run into hotel pistol runs everyday (just loving it), been there done that, Tiger bay runs with fun guns, NPC look-alike, shotguns etc.
Until today i though, I never used a sniper in this game, so i build a simple M700 + my lovely Glock 17 and went to the beloved MS hotel area, no plan, just sniper shoots and have fun. And if you never try any of the above, trust me is so much fun if you are looking to enjoy the game and you currently stuck.
So, the M700 and glock is lovely combo, I didn't even rush to get any loot i was just having fun! Indeed i clear everything and i notice nobody entering the hotel, thus i once more entered with my Glock fun-machine and clear what is left, since i was there I looted the place and went to base thinking what combo/challenge next?
So what do you guys choose for such fun runs, I am sure i missed some combos and looking for new ideas!

Position in Queue... That's new

Just logging in for the first time since the update and am greeted with a wait screen.

Have the Devs included a player limit on the servers or have I always been lucky to never encounter this?

Task progression stuck

I have completed all POI tasks, only seeing repeating tasks for all of the zones. I have not yet received Terminal Initiative, or hazardous treasures etc. Is there something else I should do to bring these tasks? I always had an issue with tasks progression since 0.4 came out with the new tasks system. Recently some tasks I completed disappeared from the completed tasks list. I don't know what is wrong with my progress. Anybody able to help?

ps. adding a list of tasks from tac map website that I haven't received at all (some are hidden tasks I know)

Went to FN with a pistol, the wind in my hair, hope in my heart, and the stars in my eyes

~$78000, had to leave a few items behind because couldn't find a bigger backpack, but I'm not complaining :)

PvE: All the containers are open. Everyone is dead.

I've been playing for over a month now and this problem seems to be getting worse as the game attracts new players.

The servers are starting to feel more crowded, and now it's common to be loading in and see the entire map completely covered in blue icons, which presumably only 1/3 of the people on the server. Today for the first time I loaded in and literally every single loot hotspot had faction members in the middle of looting it; not just Midnight or Tiger Bay or Fort Narith, but all the smaller ones like Blue Lagoon, YBL-1, Sawmill, Hunter's paradise, Ban Pa, etc.

They're probably only getting the leftovers from the last person that looted it before them while walking over bodies covered in flies.

There is no way to race to the loot, no one starts at the same, so everything is in a constant state of being looted and a few things refreshing for the next person to come by and get those scraps and a few different containers refresh for the next one etc. and so on. There's no skill that gives you control on being able to win access to the loot/enemies, unless you consider luck a skill.

It's not just the loot but I'd also like a tough base to clear for a change and not constantly be walking over dead bodies and maybe getting surprised by a 3-man patrol that respawned.

My suggestion is to add more servers and then make the population cap per server lower to give everyone more elbow room.
