Helmets & Armour Are Useless | RANT - Escape from Tarkov

Ойындар

Just a random rant from my stream the other day where I was asked the question "Is EFT more fun now or 1-2 years ago?" This was my response.

    A big part of this is positioning. It's the most important skill in almost all PvP games (Shooters, games like World of Tanks and even RTS) It's hard to improve, it takes a lot of focus and time. Next time you're watching someone play pay most of your attention to where they move and how they go from A to B; question why they do things and why you should move into a position in one way, but not another.

    Yeah, but in real life, armour piercing 5.56 and 7.62x54r don't go through most of the plates that are currently in the game. If they hit you in other parts of your vest or chest rig then they would yeet you but currently EFT treats armour as if the whole thing is encased in AR500. I think most of the TTK issues in the game will be solved when armour hitboxes are implemented because a) they can finally boost armour strength to realistic levels and b) chads won't be encased in bullet proof armour like fuckin iron man.

Any bullet hitting a hard armour plate that doesn't penetrate or deform the plate (in other words: all but the very strongest of rounds like M995 or 7.62x54r API) will not feel like any worse than a love pat. The most dangerous thing about those kinds of hits is spalling from the round shattering on the plate hitting you under the chin and arms.

So why the fuck would you use it when nobody has armor? A bolt action is literally the slowest way to damage in this game, even a vepr 209 is more efficient att dealing damage to people (assuming little/no armor is used since its earlygame). Mosin is great pre-wipe. When everyone is a jacked up chad.

It's like, if they don't like something they just go on the podcast and share their views on the game, what they like and what they don't and I feel some things in the game changes because that X streamer or that Y Streamer didn't liked or think that mechanic or that way of playing the game hurts the community in a way, and for that, it kinda ruins the fun of the game to a amount of people? Please, don't come saying the game is still in Beta, we all know how that ends and how that goes. I do like the game, in my perspective EFT is the best Tactical Survival FPS in the market, at least best than the other games out there, but its too many changes all the time, I feel like the game doesn't know what it wants it to be, the game doesn't need to be fair, being a hardcore FPS is nice and all but it's missing something that all the other games have. And btw, people still complaining about a fucking Mosin.

    i hate pretty much anyone with your opinion. Even if they are listening to streamers a lot tell me how is that a bad thing? They are play testing the game more then literally anyone else including the devs. They have the most knowledge about what is good and bad and why, They have seen more bugs and glitches then anyone else and so on and so forth. All i know for my many years of playing videos games is when you leave game development entirely up to devs the game flops and fail most the time. Devs always seem to be very disconnected from what the player base actually wants, just go look at world of Warcraft right now. Blizzard is starting to actually listen to streamers complaint because they are just now realizing that what they thought were good ideas for the game have actually only made the game worst and the streamers have the actual best idea for their game because what do you know they play more then anyone else and are more in touch with the community they even the community managers they hire to be in touch with said community. If YOU aren't having fun with tarkov then just go. If YOU think tarkov if failing or making the wrong moves then just go. So tired of hearing people say this game is dying because they keep making it harder or shit like that. Just leave already, no one actually gives a fuck about if you're playing or not. The reason why is because the game is not doing anywhere near as bad as you perceive and the numbers prove it. So keep living your fallacy and i will keep enjoying the reality of the situation.

Imagine if me and my streamer buddies started playing csgo and after 10k hours were like, " recoil patters are fucking stupid, it should just be randomized" that dumb ass idea would ruin the game and you think it should be warranted because I've made my career out of this vs other people just trying to play a fun hardcore tactical shooter. The game is getting convoluted and only hurting the casual player base because they can't figure out a solution for the hacker problem. This game is getting shittier because the devs don't have a vision for their own product anymore.

    Yeah, the more I play the more I start to feel that armor serves a really specific purpose in that it protects you from scavs, player scavs and budget PMC's who don't go balls deep on ammo. So, sure, it's useful like that but the most dangerous thing on a map is a competent geared player. You could and probably should be able to handle the aforementioned things without any armor on. It feels like unless you're running 5-6 even right now in the wipe, you won't actually really be protected from anything that you would want to be protected from. It's a big gamble, a buddy of mine brought the Zabralo tank armor on to woods with an Altyn. We were about 300 meters down the road from UN roadblock heading towards the two loot containers by that rock formation next to the edge of the map on the lake shoreline that people occasionally snipe from. I had class 4 head and body protection with a class 3 face-shield, out of the corner of my eye I see a PMC running along the interior towards the same direction we were headed in. I stopped and lined up a shot, in a second or so he had already laser beamed my face from at least 100 meters. My friend however, my friend was just too armored for them to really hurt him. His armor allowed him to out-position them with a large margin of error. They were not heavily geared but there were 5 of them and the most they had was a mosin running LPS. He wiped them all out and killed a few PMC's after them too and the only reason he was able to survive long enough to take them out is because he had the strongest armor in the game on. He got peppered by them but they didn't bring the right guns to kill him so they were forced in to having to hit him 60 times or something crazy. They could not accomplish that and he won because he took the risk and bought the heavy armor. If you use 3-4 you're betting on players either being incompetent or a cheapskate. If someone is using something that goes through 3 like butter chances are, it also probably goes through 4 like butter too. The only problem with not using armor is being 2-3 tapped by a pistol or 1 tapped by buckshot. Once you take the armor off and go armor-less you're now opening yourself up to be 1 tapped by just about everything. Using armor is like gambling and hoping that you run into the perfect situation your armor was designed for.

I think the solution is introducing old WW2 ammo which would be like dmg 75 pen 30 +- and make other ammo more expensive and scarce. The problem, in my opinion, is that LPS ammo is too accessible and SNBs are so common in boxes in Reserve. Also I would make the gun scav-only weapon which could not be bought. The gun HAS its own place in the game. If you cry now because of Mosin imagine SVT-40 which is basically automatic mosin from ww2.

The other thing for me is just simply they need to make sniper rounds harder to get, M80 and LPS is very cheap and easily obtainable early, which makes no sense to be because they added in "bad" ammo for M80 but nothing similar for LPS

    The only reason I can think of is because of the themes/backgrounds of the traders - Prapor sells military surplus, Jaeger sells hunting weapons. The Mosin was first and foremost a main infantry rifle for its time, while the VPO-209 is a loophole rifle/shotgun that is iirc mostly useful for hunting. The VPO-136 is geared towards civilian/sport shooting, so it ends up with Skier. But it definitely makes more sense to have less effective equipment to be available earlier, "consistency" be damned.

Maybe that incentive could be reflected in significant temporary bonuses to hideout or vendor stock.

    i was thinking that too, maybe a revamped system of teamplay and faction based fighting would be more appropriate where you can team up with other faction members and deploy to fight in a map like how the BSG Raid series is portrayed. I enjoy having a hideout and having my own personal resource farm but it would be nice to have a larger scale battle as opposed to these rat like survival fights. im not sure if the direction of the game is to either escape from tarkov as a solo player building wealth and gear or to fight for your faction. wonder where it will go.

    Covering fire could never realistically be used as a strategy in a video game because it doesn’t provide the fear factor that it does IRL. If you’re being suppressed IRL you aren’t gonna peak that shit because you don’t want to die, but in a video game you’d be more willing to peek in the same situation because it would be surprising to your enemy and you aren’t afraid of dying.

If you enter combat against a nearly naked dude with a mosin who risks nothing, and you win with mostly blacked limbs the raid while you had risked a good amount of gear your raid is ruined, the value for killing that mosling is 20k, a.k.a. nothing compared to your stuff worth over 200k (average value of average gear), just the cost of healing yourself up is worth more than everything he brought with him.

After all it is a special forces gun produced in limited quantity. It would make much more sense if you could find these op ammo and weapons only in special places, like boss caches, etc.

    Regarding weapons, I think Pestily is right with the idea that shooting from a standing or crouched position right now is still, frankly, much too accurate. I also think that the automatic compensation for recoil is a bad idea, and it's always been a bad idea.Any other FPS game (to my knowledge) does not have a feature like this, and it makes it so weapons such as the M4A1 are laser beams after the initial recoil kick. The current meta of strafing back and forth while hip firing or ADSing fishing for a headshot is bad design imo. Problem is, I don't really know what the solution is. Just some random internet guy's 2 cents.

But eventually as time goes on and you progress through, your enemies start dealing more and more and more damage. And that damage creep catches up with your armor and passes it to a level where no armor in the game will stop them from one shotting you. Thats what hes saying, is the damage creep of this game has gotten so high that now wearing even the heaviest armor in the game is a gamble because you still have a decent chance of just being one shot anyways, and hes right.

    BSG trying to make the game "harder" for everyone is whats ruining the game imo. Instead of adding actual difficulty, they just add in these tacked on, tedious, unnecessary restrictions and call it "difficulty". Key examples: Found in Raid mechanic in its entirety, flea market locked until lvl 10 instead of lvl 5, increasing the amount of xp needed to get through lvls 1-20, can only put ammo and meds in secure case, can't stack tri zip bags on your character EVEN in just the inventory screen so sometimes your bag is just stuck and can't get out unless you sell stuff. Find in raid should never have been added to the game for any item other than quest items which are already only found in raid. For example, do you actually think Mechanic gives a rats ass where you get the cigarettes from? Is he gonna take the carton of cigarettes, and examine it with a magnifying glass and then reject it because you didn't find it in some random jacket on customs? No, he asks for them and wants you to get them for him, no questions asked just do it. Makes 0 logical sense in the world of the game and the only reason it was added was because streamers complained that people were using the flea market for quests, which is a GOOD THING THAT THEY DID. No one was forcing you to find everything in raid or to buy it on the flea market, the choice was there for each player to make. Go into a raid and find it for free, or spend some cash and buy it from another player. But now because streamers complained that other people weren't making their own lives harder, now EVERYONE has to rng it in a raid. Same thing with the market, theres no bouncer refusing to allow you to sell something to people just because you didn't find it on a map. It takes away the players who enjoyed playing the market who knew what they were doing and could make some extra cash. I'm not saying they can't make the game harder or more hardcore, but they have to do it the RIGHT way. For instance, I think having to heal, eat, drink and all that stuff between and in raids is GREAT. Not adding restrictions that make no logical sense and make the game almost unplayable for players who don't spend 10+ hours a day on the game.

    "BSG trying to make the game "harder" for everyone is whats ruining the game imo. Instead of adding actual difficulty, they just add in these tacked on, tedious, unnecessary restrictions and call it "difficulty". Key examples: Found in Raid mechanic in its entirety, flea market locked until lvl 10 instead of lvl 5, increasing the amount of xp needed to get through lvls 1-20, can only put ammo and meds in secure case, can't stack tri zip bags on your character EVEN in just the inventory screen so sometimes your bag is just stuck and can't get out unless you sell stuff." Shit got harder for new players wanting to play the game every day for 1-2 hours, while the sweat boys don't even notice it. The "harder" part is one thing I really dislike were the game is going. How is this to make shit more harder, Its more annoying now to grind out the flea market and modding while you are dying 80% of the raids you do

    @@osamabendolphin765 "Make your raids count" is relative. Your "making raids count" might be you getting a scav kill and extracting. He's obviously talking about the dogshit questing system and flea market changes. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Hatchet runners weren't a problem. No just because they're trying to make it harder to hatchet run doesn't mean they're right. You guys acted as if hatchet runners just went in and got everything on the map and then did nothing with it after they extracted. I'd argue that hatchet runners brought in more gear from making more money than most people, people don't just hatchet run to make roubles and do nothing with them. Every chad you've ever killed could have been a scav runner than used the money to buy gear. The entitlement from people like you and the rest of the "hardcore" players is fucking gross. Every single argument for why hatchet runners are bad is "I should have gotten the loot because I brought in a slick and meta M4 WAHHHHHHHHH".

    @@supernannera Yeah, people who say that hatcher runners are the worst problem of the game are people who have probably never reached level higher than 20 and just want everybody they kill to be a full-out chad with Slick and Altyn and lowest recoil weapon - sorry kids, not gonna happen. The changes done to combat hatcher runners made the game harder (which is ok) but also more frustrating(which is not) for literally everyone - with the overweight mechanic you are better off being a hatchling than a chad. What all these changes in past 2-3 months achieved is to encourage everyone to become a rat every time they find something valuable/needed for quest - and hatcher runs are just as viable as they were before.

    Pestily, what do you think about adding as much equipment as we have vs 2-3 years ago when it was only paca and fort? I agree fights are over too fast and bsg has always steered the game right but once a certain level of 'power creep' is reached it will be difficult to go back. More equipments = more money for bsg, but too many options can make the current issue worse. Would you like to see the complication added of inherent dodge/bounce chance in all armour /helmets? Even back then 7.62 ps could 1tap fort/fast mt. Love the game always will, this video rant was interesting

    i mean tbf, tarkov is trying to be realistic, and honestly thats all a helmet will do for you IRL. Tarkov even pushes the line a little bit, IRL there is no such thing as a helmet that would equal class 6 GHOST standards, there are a couple that reach lvl 4 but they are extremely big and heavy. The biggest helmet in the game, Vulkan-5 (LShZ-5) helmet, irl IS lvl 4. Tarkov has pushed every single helmet in the game up at least 1 rating higher than it should be, and most are 2 or even 3 ratings higher than they should be. Keep in mind IRL GHOST lvl 4 (the system tarkov pretends to use) is designed to stop rifle rounds, 5.45x39 hardened steel penetrators. 90% of IRL helmets are NIJ IIIA, which is roughly GHOST LVL 2 and they would be as useful as a cardboard box for any rifle round.

    If they introduce the weapon failure mechanic they could have the mosin have a high failure rate early game till you get good with it but there is a 30% chance it misfires or jams in use. That way you have a variable of risk for even using it which will put off people using it or make engagements more challenging when it does fail as its an old gun

    What if damage was reduced by the armor when the bullet pens. I know this probably isn't very realistic but it puts some use to lower tier armors while also protecting from being onetapped in the chest. Just to give a random example: Tier 2 armor reduced incoming damage by 20 % (arbitrary value, for the sake of this example) if the bullet penetrates. Tier 3 reduces damage by 25 % or 30 % when the bullet penetrates and so on. This would make it so that lower tier armor isnt utterly useless. This might also be a terrible idea. Any thoughts?
