BSG mocking their customers (again) [Discussion]
Like many of you, I’ve read the news about the changes they’re making to the game, especially the new P2W for Unheard Edition users. Obviously, I don't agree with any of this, but today I had the chance to watch the Tarkov TV stream by myself, and I don’t even know what to say. The problem isn’t just what they say, it’s how they say it.
When they were about to announce the P2W stuff, Nikita started saying, “now it’s the best part, I really love this guys, prepare your asses,” even though he knew perfectly well that this was going to disappoint a lot of people. They clearly feel entitled to be sarcastic and have completely lost any sense of shame; now they’re just straight-up laughing at their customers.
On the other hand, he started making comments about how much he loves Unheard Edition users, and I have to ask: what about EOD users, whom you seem to have forgotten? All those people who blindly supported your game by paying $150 when it was little more than a teaser. Now, not only do you give an advantage to a new edition that’s just a money grab, but you’re also mocking them. I want to make it clear that, for me, this would still be a problem even if he had added things like the XP boost for EOD too; I don’t think there should be such aggressive P2W mechanics, regardless of which version of the game you own.
I also haven’t forgotten when they announced the Unheard Edition and tried to scam all the Edge of Darkness buyers by making secret changes to the terms and the website so the new DLCs wouldn't be included. The attitude of Nikita and BSG toward their customers lately has been disrespectful and shameful, to say the least.
You can downvote this post if you want, because I know there are plenty of people who will defend this company no matter what they’ve done, but I think they’re being really unfair to everyone who has been supporting this project for years. As far as I’m concerned, they’ve shown me that even if they managed to create an incredible game concept, as people, they aren't worth shit. They have no shame, and I hope people stop giving money to this bunch of scammers.
If you disagree with me, that’s fair, but I invite you to go watch the Tarkov TV stream for yourselves.

[Screenshot] Coming back to PVP just to experience the story. Quickly reminded why I went to PVE.
I don’t have the story on PVE, so I came back to PVP to play it. This is not fun whatsoever. 4 raids in a row melted by fucking super kit giga chad streamer sweat within seconds of spawning before I can even react. Level 9 with 1 kill and 14 deaths. Fuck that story, I’m going back to “average guy with a job” mode.
Edit: I was running that kit because it’s all I have. I’ve lost all of the free gear I started with, and 80% of my scavs end with me getting team killed by a sweaty player scav while I wiggle at them with my knife out to show I’m friendly. PVP players are just too toxic for me. Think ima go play creative mode on Minecraft with my kids and wife..

the ever elusive Military COFDM Wireless Signal Transmitter [Loot]
i been looking for the notorious Military COFDM Wireless Signal Transmitters or SG-C10 for a good while on reserve bunker in the RB-PKPTS room and the two marked rooms in the bunker system and only found 2 in the RB-PKPTS room so far.
the wiki states that they also spawn in the RB-VO marked room and been thinking of trying that also have you actually found any there?
and if anybody knows any better spots please tell this is a really annoying grind.

[Discussion] does this death shadow provide any bonus damage reduction/defense in this setup?
someone told me that the death shadow would just be for drip as it doesnt actually do anything/work when its behind another face mask

[Feedback] All the Ulach variants need their advantages taken away....Why run ANYTHING else now?
Lvl 4 with a high ricochet chance w protection all around head, can wear all EARS. and fits the Level 2 mask and can run NVGS.
Most helmets that can run NVG's counter it by not having Ear protection or a lower-level armor rating. its also pretty damn cheap

Death Shadow Mask protection under helmet test [Discussion]
Since someone posed a question about whether the Death Shadow Mask provides any protection under the helmet and no one had a clear answer I decided to test it with a 20% enchanted mask.
In all the tests the mask protected at least 1x Igolnik or M995, whether you're just wearing the mask or wearing an Altyn or Fast MT face shield in front of it. It reduces the damage by exactly the amount you would think it does (20%). Wearing a face shield or Altyn in front of the mask reduces the durability wear it takes from taking a shot, which often allows it to keep the enchant for a second shot.
Hope that clears it up. It always protects from the shot like it should in the test I did.

[Loot] What does this little symbol mean on items?
I've found several items with this little 'shield and star' symbol but I can't find any explanation in game about what this means.

[screenshot] Bro i cried like a baby on the extract timer. 27 Tries - 21 Solo
EXPERIENCE BREAKDOWN:
tl;dr - it's hard. in solo it's HARD.
It's a shame it doesn't count your exact number of tries. I think it was 27.
After the first couple of tries where i spawned with some randos and they instantly killed me i queued on "dead servers", i am in EU so i que North Africa.
I played only 3 times with a random guy who was friendly in the span of 2 months (i have a full time job but no kids so i do a try every few days because it takes too much time).
Almost all my tries were solo and i went zebralo class6 - m4a1. grabbing mags and sometimes plates from Black Division.
-My first 10-12 deaths in a row were on the 4 BD guys at the keycard. They are a nightmare if you don't know how to push them. I followed Sheef guide and peaked them from the right door one by one.
-The 2 BD guys just before the door fucked me a couple of times.
-i had 4-5 death to the 2 BD guy that come from afar after you activate the pump and grabbed the key until i started to go up the stairs and into the water basin.
-2 times i reached the last door and the mile away bd on the left headshotted me while turning the key.
-scavs...they are EVIL. They don't stop coming. They killed me way too many times while i was fighting the keycard guys. once a scav got my leg while i was corner peaking a BD near the explosives.
-honorable mention: after the pump activation i go right and run straight behind the wagons, a glukhar guard killed me while i was running because he overextended near my path.
I was hoping there were less enemies or at least that they scaled with how many players are inside. It's unfair that if you are solo or in a 4 man it doesn't matter, i don't want a 75% reduction but half the BD would be great!
Overall, i enjoyed very much. I ran with a broken leg and 0 stamina the last few steps and i made it the very last second. I was shaking the entire time after i opened the door.
At the end i cried like a baby. What a relief.
Now i can play my scav again ahahaha
If you read all of this, thank you.

[Discussion] Came to PVE because of the cheaters but the sentiment continues
I've been loving PVE but even in 1.0 they still spawn you next to the big 3 who start shooting at you before your screen even renders the raid... I'm surprised I survived as long as I did.
