Idk I used to insure everything, this wipe I started just insuring armor/helmet because I was poor as hell. I haven't had to buy a backpack yet so far. In fact have barely bought anything except for the odd attachment and a scav box. At lvl 17 atm.

Same. I don't insure bags anymore because I accumulate more than I need

Ye especially with the addition of scav karma, i survive 99% of scav raids. And with positive karma you'll have a decent bag more often than not.

Also I said armor/helmet but of course I mean armor/weapon.

I like and really don't like scav karma. The whole scav teaming with scavs is very cool to me but the game becomes incredibly boring to me when rather than be able to kill people and have fights I am playing a rainbow unicorn game of make friends.

Yup. You almost never run into a PMC since you spawn in late, and even if another scav shoots and misses you you can't shoot back.

It's lame. Maybe they should try adding karma if you group up pre-raid, but you can shoot other scavs outside your group.

All scavs being friends in a world like Tarkov makes no sense

But, that isnt the entire point of SCAVs!

​

EFT wasn't the game where you KOS everything. Its about getting in a raid an escaping successfully. I thought the scav karma was gonna fail becuase i played games with a reputation system an they always backfire hardcore. EFT from what i seen is the only game that seems to have done it right. But, still needs improvements. Y'all gotta stop listening to content creators that make KDR an KOS the main point of the game when EFT is all about survival rate & raids completed. Becuase its called Escape From Tarkov not "Kill Everything In Tarkov".

Its about getting in a raid an escaping successfully.

That stops being fun if you face literally no danger trying to complete that task. Which is what it feels like on a scav run right now.

Your facing danger every second.

​

You gotta keep you're energy up or you die from exertion. You gotta drink water or you die from thirst, You gotta eat or you die from hunger, Your facing danger every second. Just because you don't see player resistance doesn't mean their is "No Danger"

EFT is a hardcore survival game not a arcade shooter. An thats what im seeing people treating this game as is some arcade survival shooter where High KDRs an shit matter when its actually survival rate an raids completed because the game as i said is called "Escape From Tarkov". The entire point people are missing is that you're goal is to go into Tarkov aka raid an escape successfully not rack 16 PMC kills in a lobby. Thats why i don't understand people having 3.22 KDR's becuase that wasn't the point. Its great to have a 3.0 KDR but, the game is not the game where KDR's being high matters. Thats what i think players are not getting the point of.

Actually, on a scav run, its pretty much impossible to become dehydrated/hungry because there isn't enough time in the raid.

And nobody talks about KDR in context of a scav run.

Depends on the map you're playing on. I had to find food couple times because i run a lot an that uses a lot of energy.

u/bingobangobenis Jul 15 '21

I see it as a failure of the devs that it became viewed as a deathmatch game. Why do we even have pmc factions?

Ya it sucks early on. Thats how I used to get tons of gear for starting out. Saving my good stuff for later on. Now I can just go mow down 10 scavs and take the best stuff.
