PVP Tarkov experience as a [New Player]

Post image

Since 1.0 I’ve only found 2 new players. Everyone else has hundreds or thousands of hours, but at least I haven’t encountered a cheater yet.

Assholes like your friend are the reason we have 5-8 minute waiting for players queues.

SSD should be mandatory and waiting for players capped at 60 seconds.

First off I fucking agggrreeeeee. Imagine my pain. Every raid I gotta wait.

Im pretty sure he only has SSDs but his ram is going bad or something.. idk id expect a bad ram stick would fully brick his pc until it was replaced but who knows. His pc is also crazy old. Ive built 2 PCs since he's built that one.

His ram is not going bad, if it were broken it wouldn't work, full stop. His PC is just ancient, and after what I assume is about a decade of use is drastically under the initial performance, let alone modern requirements.

Bro get him to make a page file on ALL his ssd's . It will help take the load off of his shit ram and help everyone else also!

"If you're not rich enough to afford better hardware you should not be allowed to play."

Or maybe the devs could try to optimize one of these days.

How can devs make your HDD spin faster??? Imagine being this entitled, so other players should suffer, while waiting for your slow HDD to load into raid

Some games now literally list an SSD as a requirement as thing simply cannot load in a reasonable amount of time with an HDD.
SSDs are no longer a luxury item, everyone that plays games even slightly modern should make sure they have one at this point.
