NPC's and Extarct Points

January 11, 2020

NPC's for one need to be toned down a little. If I can get FUBAR'd by one NPC I lit up that is a little too extreme. Pop 6 rounds into the guy to die to two rounds. Extraction points while grouping should be the same point. I have played 2 games now where my group and I have all went to the extraction point and only one of us gets extracted. In my opinion 10/10 would not buy again and if I could request a refund I would. Dont like the fact I spent $50 for a BETA where if I die as a PMC I have to wait 24-36 hours to get my insured items back or go in with stuff I might have purchased if I could purchase anything, but no I have lost so many items I go in with only a pistol. Then theres the go in as a scab, yea I know its scav, but never make it out because the extraction points are all different for the group so I cant make any rubels or money to purchase new gear for the PMC. Then to top that all off I have to wait 20 minutes to play as a scab again if I die or go MIA, I wouldnt know if the timer exist if you extract because I've never extracted on a scab. Im about to dispute this with paypal and say I didnt authorize this purchase.

The AI is being tweaked by the patch. Its not too hard ATM, not even close. Its gonna get more human-like, but not gonna be toned down. Scavs are meant to pose a real threat to players, otherwise they would be even more like loot-pinatas than they are now. You need to pop your rounds to better places than where you have. Avoid being spotted and move carefully. Avoid getting in to a firefight with no cover.

I dont really understand what happened if you all couldnt extract from the same point. Maybe it was one of the extracts that need special equipment or a scav, or roubles etc.

If you dont have the patience to learn the game, its on you and not the devs. If you didnt find out what the game is like before you bought, its on you and not the devs.

On the scav raids you should have your squad escort you to your extraction if you cant make it out by yourself. Judging by what youre saying youre a noob and should play only with many squadmates. If you fail as often as you say, youre doing something wrong. Be more careful and cautious, expect the enemy in every bush and behind every corner. Play more slowly and sneakily.

Well, it's a "hard core" game. It's mean't to be this way.

It's not that hard if you follow a few basic rules and watch a couple of guides created by the community/streamers to get things up and running. Once you get over your anxiety and learn how to "farm" things, it will get easier the more you play.

Another thing, it's a beta. You know what you've signed up for or atleast you should've thought about it a bit after reading the sign.

Sherpas are players who will guide you through the ropes while also sponsoring you some gear and you can schedule a game or something with them with the link pasted below : https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/sherpa

If you want, you can add me and I can teach you some of the basic things in the game or I can give you some cash if you need it(that is if you're atleast level 5 so you can use the flea market and I can help you out with the cash). I'm not filthy rich like the rest of the players and I don't usually keep over 200k rubles, but if you need help, I'm here.
