    Escape from Tarkov

    I think he wants it to be more tactical and less COD and in the past several wipes it's been going more towards COD. All the most watched players just run around hipfiring high RPM rifles and shit like it's Warzone rather than taking smart angles. The kids also love that shit so it's probably...

    Escape from Tarkov

    Transit system is shit and having EVERYONE dump out at the same location after transit is braindead. It's a fucking murder fest. Having no quests yet is dumb because it'd be alright if you could easily play any map and just get loot/pvp as you like, but no, you're severely limited. Think...

    Escape from Tarkov

    I won't play Warzone because it's bad. I've never cared about cheaters in that. I play Apex and there's weeks where there's 10% cheaters in unranked lobby.

    Also not as big a driving force for the market, but the 40/40 requires you to do a Kirac mission of every type (or 8 of 10 or something) and it's getting about that time. And there's the weirdos who still have Defiled Cathedral not unlocked running their stack of cards missions over and over...

    PoE has become an "Eater's Game". We have a guy who literally started playing PoE about 7 days ago. He just mastercrafted his 1000dps vaal axe, rolling his clusters, and has completed his atlas. Another guy has probably 5k hours in this game, has played for a decade and is following the...

    A lot of people don't understand map mods. If you run stuff with less aura effectiveness or less life recovery, that can fuck probably 50% of builds right off the bat. That's not even the big known ones like no regen or reflect. Same guys for block and armor reduction. Also combinations of...

    Been getting PoE Brain really bad at night. Figured out how to hit +200% over fire resist with Enmity Embrace on a Chieftain finally. This shit pretty much only works with cloak of flames and a merc with kaom's binding and/or a defiance of destiny, but it's amazing: 22% increased GLOBAL...

    Flicker isn't tanky. Trickster is tanky. Flicker is a lazy skill that, honestly, can be replaced by several much better builds with clear QoL we have now. ESPECIALLY with mercs, there's like no reason to actually be flicker outside of being a flicker fanboi. Most of the people feel "squishy"...

    You're right, you can't use a shield with it unfortunately. That definitely sours it a little. It's not supposed to be THE weapon, but for a 1 alch weapon for 700 dps you can get day 2, it's pretty fucking nuts. There's also some dual wield shenanigans with notables and such as the gladiator...

    This was okay, but definitely over-hyped. Some classic tropes from horror movies like the "appears behind you at the right moment!" type of shit. Not sure if that was a knowing nod or just bad. Referring to himself as a Soldier and indicating he fought in WW2 in Germany, but outside of about...

    Oct 30th means they've got a lot they want to implement still probably, which is good, and they're dodging Tarkov 1.0 launch which will be September. Might be a good time. They really, really should have another open beta before now and then though to keep people's appetite.

    Tomatoes are a per person thing more than it is a tomato thing. Yes there are shitty tomatoes for sure, but to some people even the best tomatoes don't taste good. Something to do with taste bud development/decline as you can almost always see kids hating tomatoes and liking/loving them later.

    Lucky block with Gladiators was rolling block chance three times instead of two times. At the max block it made it so you basically had something like a 3.5% chance to be hit. I'm not sure this was happening EVERY time, but under some conditions it was. Even with the fix you'll still have...

    They'll probably simplify and it'll unlock tiers based on your level and/or atlas. Honestly I bet it's just a flat gold cost to unlock everything outside of everything except maybe map runner shit. Though they could nuke map runners completely and I wouldn't feel a thing. That was truly just...
