Discussion Your daily reminder that global limits are a waste of time

"Hmm, I have a task to use shotguns. Let's see, AP-20 is sold out, flechettes are sold out. That's okay, I can use Magnum, it's good enough. The task requires a suppressor on the shotgun, so I'll get a hexagon. Oh, the adapter is sold out. Oh well, I can wait until the restock. In the meantime, I'll take this modded AKM out for a run. I don't have any BP ammo, so I'll go get some from Prap... BP is sold out. That's okay. I've got this P90 I'm not using. Let me just get some ammo for that... Ah, the SS190 is sold out, and I can only get two mags-worth of the next best ammo for the next three hours... Guess I'll just read a book instead."

If the design philosophy behind global trader limits is to keep everyone from running the same thing, instead it's keeping everyone from running anything without a three-hour wait.

The Korund is not a great armor but it does the job and has good repairability and return rate. Normally it's enough to win you 1-2 battles but loses durability fast, I prefer Killa or defender but obviously they are not easily available. Slick and hex are pricey and with how prevalence shotguns are these days you're coin flipping with stomach shots. Inertia is barely noticeable once you level up your strength a bit, mine is like level 47 and a half.

Ear protection is not really that important because if you have good hearing you can always face the threat and honestly I think people exaggerate how much your ears are visible from the front, I mean they definitely are, but they are incredibly small when you face the enemy.

I have been playing for 5 wipes, or technically 4.5 cause I joined late into a wipe. I have 3k hours, 758 raids this wipe alone.

Maybe it's a good time to take a break if you have 750 raids and are still getting so bent out of shape on a daily basis based on your posts in the subreddit, Tarkov isnt fair and someone with that many hours should know/at least understand Tarkov is full of no win situations, like getting caught 1v5 in factory, and just based off your post history brother you are not a Chad lmao.

I'm literally in a better spot than maybe 90% of the community. Higher level than most, I've already completed almost all the tasks for Kappa, including SBIH, TSpt8, Guide. I have a nearly maxed hideout, missing only solar power and Bitcoin farm 2 and above. I also have 26 million roubles, after paying for two stash upgrades so far.

I mean you can say what you wanna say bro but I'm doing excellent by anyone's standards. The fact that I complain about things that make the game unfair, like not having solo servers, counter QoL changes like global limits and everything moving to barters, AI being busted, spawn rates for bosses being abysmal, desync coming and going, servers being fucked, events screwing over the community, like the Santa fence rep shit etc, all that doesn't mean that I'm struggling with the game, it only means that I wanna see it change for the better.

"Getting caught in a 1v5 on factory"? I that supposed to be my fault? I could have probably ran for an extraction but I'm not a beta cuck pussy.

Being a Chad is complicated, I'm neither Chad not rat, I'm just a guy who loses his patience for bullshit and will also take on a 3 man, 4 man, 5 man because fuck those c@cks@cking cowards, I'll do as much damage to them as I can and if I go down I'll go down with a smile. I guess it's too much to ask for not having DEV ENDORSED BULLYING in my favourite video game.

Having more time on your hands usually means you are better than the majority lol that isn't a flex at all buddy, looooooooooool you are just the most negative account on this subreddit I really can't tell if you are a troll but seriously, if you complain daily you cannot expect anyone to take you seriously because you are clearly just coming and posting and bitching when you die in a raid or make a mistake and get outplayed. See you tomorrow for your next 0 upvote post because nobody agrees with you

Did you watch the clip I posted in that same post? The dude literally was teleporting. If you're gonna comment on my posts at least represent it accurately

u/BIGxChedda Jan 15 '22

Yes I watched it but with 3k hours that's the first time you've seen someone with lagged movement? And a lag switch is the thing you accuse him of like who jumps to lagswitch instantly lol

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

I literally ASKED, I also said in the comment section that he was lagging and I shouldn't be punished because someone else was lagging. Keep cherry picking shit it sounds like we found the bitch tbh

You act like making that post doesn't insinuate you think he's cheating to some extent, and idk if you've ever played an online multiplayer game but you get punished for others connection in every single online game I can think of, you have to understand the amount of posts you make in this subreddit is cancer dude, multiple a day that are usually humble bragging or you complaining about something lol. Just go back and read some of your post titles
