My first VoIP experience: went into interchange, my friend was having connection issues so he told me to just shoot him. After that I heard one guy say "ohh shit" and then heard a few more voices, so I yelled out and explain the situation. About 6 pmcs come out of mantis, and we were all friendly. I ran with them till the bridge but had to part ways because I had emercom. Was fucking amazing

[reddead]

Pestily: "Hey don't shoot I am doing a mission"
Other player: (thinking: Shit its Pestily, its not worth dying) Ok.
Pestily: Everyone is so nice

My first VOIP interaction: I was solo and I was going to do the old customs key quest and I said that all I needed to do was the quest and they were like “OHHHH SHIITTT YOU GOT THE KEY” so I ended up helping them progress and getting an easy quest completion

First VOIP experience:

ended up rethinking all my life choices and telling myself I'm a horrible human being because I tried to be friendly with a player scav, the guy didn't respond, so I turned the corner, looked at him and thought it's just an AI, and as I shot my 9mm round into his scull he let out a "hey man"


:'<

Loving it so far myself, played a bunch yesterday and hit level 9 before calling it a night. Inertia took some getting used to but i'm digging it now. Already having a lot of fun with PvP and i'm hoping the Flea Market bans for the high tier items will really help extend this early-mid game.

I was on a pmc run on shoreline, amd I came across a guy with a really decked out weapon already, I asked him if he wanted to team up, he said why not, we both looted the town, went to the resort, and then got 4 other pmcs to join us, we all sat in a circle, transferring loot we needed for our hideout and quests, some scavs joined us and we did the same, VOIP is so much fun 😂

First VOIP Experience: Did a lighthouse scav run and was wandering around when I found a few other friendly player scavs. We kinda explored for a bit but then we came across the water treatment plant. We were perched up on a hill looking at the new Rogues, and we decided to try and take a shot at killing a few. Through a brave assault, we pushed through landmines, grenades, and heavy machine gun fire that claimed a few of us. In the end we were able to kill a few, but my time passed before I could see what happened to the others. I hope my scav brother safely made it out with the goods. Godspeed you cheeki souls.

My first VOIP experience:

I said "Hi!" to this guy in dorms and he shot me instantly in the face. Dick.

Last time I trust you Reshala!

My first PMC raid this wipe was on lighthouse and I found a guy that was super nice, he helped me find guns and good loot spots and even showed me several extract spots. 10/10 update.

You can make the revolver double action by pressing b, putting it essentially same firerate as MP153.

First VOIP interaction:
i was on customs as a PMC with my SKS, when 2 of my buddies got shot in the back and my SKS had jammed right before as a shot a scav.
I had no clue how to fix this malfunction, so when the guy came close to me i just begged for my life and we ended up being buddies, got a gun from and we went to dorms.

sadly, we never actually arrived at dorms :(

Since the patch I've been having audio issues. Literally every sound that lasts longer than a couple seconds cut off or change completely in volume level.
I used to hear sometimes people spraying and the audio would cut off mid-spray, but now it seems to be happening a lot more often.

[Nick-ljni]

My first voip interaction: I was on my pmc looting around lighthouse and hen I came across a group of 6 player scavs who trapped me in a house and started screaming at me before I got rushed and murdered

[aMoldyUsagi]

First VOIP experience(also my first day playing tarkov):

Doing a Scav run on Shoreline when a random guy comes over the hill in front of me. I panic and let a few shots go all of which miss. He yells friendly over VOIP, so I stop shooting. I tried to talk to him, but I later realized my mic mute button was on(doh!). I gave him the wiggle and we parted ways. Pretty wholesome experience.

[Jaruudie]

My first VOIP experience:
I was with my two friends on interchange and we killed a scav in generic and were sitting in there listening to the sounds, a player scav walks into the front door saying "Hello?" in the nicest sounding voice ever and I took his head off with a MP-133 before I could even react to how nice he sounded.. I still feel bad

[oooswinnn]

My first VOIP experience: Scavving into factory, another scav eyes me up as I had a remington shotgun in which he mistook for a MP-133. After a quick chat I explained you can buy the MP-133 from Jager and they don't need to be found in raid. We then proceeded to loot up the entire map before parting ways. VOIP singlehandedly stopping scav violence!

Having a blast this wipe, started playing about 2 or 3 months ago with my friends who also just started so we didn’t know what the hell we were doing. Now we understand this shit so we are having a ton of fun on our first fresh wipe. Went dorms and I was searching jackets saying “I’d be sick if we found a marked room key” as I found a marked room key in the next jacket and walked out with a mk18 :D

[ros]

Is anyone else experiencing significantly lower fps this patch? Edit: Fixed the issue by resetting my shader cache!

[HermitTheKronk]

Before: no word just shoot
After: The negotiator!

Ive run lighthouse like 5 times and found the quad nods in a crate, multiple loose prokill medallion and GP coins, an AESA in a garage, and other great loose loot in the same areas. Its awesome.Also my VOIPs have been great. Ran into a PMC at old gas and he said "yeah its safe this way, I just came from over there" and I said "thanks! I just came from crack house and there was another friendly guy there so just call out to him too, the way there is safe!" Like that
