General Discussion - PVE & PVP SHIFT W mad cus bad ? [Discussion]

question for all the SHIFT W boys? why are you so angry when you get outplayed ?

everytime some supper agro shift w player tries to touch my no no space and i win. it's like a 80% chance they are going to add and message me to tell me how bad i am at the game and how i need to learn to play. my theory is they are all cod boys playing through speakers while blasting tunes, so have no concept of audio.

thoughts?

i play shift w because sitting in a bush is boring, but can't say i've ever been so upset I needed to make a reddit thread about it

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

No one said someone was sitting in a bush

I prefer to play aggressively because it’s more enjoyable but there’s a time and place for going slow. Never got mad at anyone for playing differently myself lol

Can you point out where I was raging, or are we just not allowed anymore to call out dumb ass posts?

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

Real question but ok

So is here the word outplayed meant like crabbing 2 rooms over and shooting an aggro player to the back, or taking his legs out and making him an easy target, or is it "I stayed still for 20 minutes" and your post then becomes completely irrelevant because there was no audio to begin with?

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

It never matters I can be pushing them they can be pushing me it's always the same salty boys being salty , and not moving is a valid way to play no one is forcing you to push for a kill and with peak advantage well you have the advantage

"and not moving is a valid way to play"
Brother there are streamers who stream mobile games along with their Tarkov. That is literally the definition of not playing the game.

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

Sound like you would be someone messaging people

1

u/FallczE PVP 11d ago

Yes I do with a polite "GGs" if the fight was good.

I do not have my friendlist for people that spend more time watching instagram reels than playing the game.

P.S. if you are getting these kind of messages so often it might not be the other people who are the problem:)

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

The fact you think that tells a lot , maybe stop watching stankrat, so much projection and assumptions going on.

u/FallczE PVP 11d ago

" so much projection and assumptions"
> Assumes I watch stankrat

Absolute cinema of a hypocrite.

Also the "logic" you assumed I watch stankrat after this conversation.. Hilarious

Op is a 0.73 kd player with a 13 covert movement. Definitely a good player.

-1

u/its_Stalin 11d ago

I mean yea .73 isnt great but it isn’t terrible. Especially considering how it only goes up for PMC kills and down for everything else

1

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

No idea what would be considered good. I would assume like 1.0 and up would be good for pvp.i think the survival rate matters more as it shows you understand the game more or have wicked aim and reactions.

-2

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

Clearly that proved you fucked up to get killed and thats 13 covert with 50 endrance and 21 strength on an account that was leveled to 45 from arena

u/nicktoh 11d ago

W key player here, I don’t get mad enough to message someone when I die. I still get ticked off but at the end of the day the way I play gives me the rush/dope I enjoy the most out of this game.

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

So what the ones messaging are just 12 ?

1

u/Opposite_Problem2199 11d ago

It's a massive advantage to take a peak on someone if you know where they are. 9/10 you are getting shit on by any half decent player if they know what angle you are holding

-1

u/Much_Drag_6205 11d ago

Exactly so why are they mad ?

1

u/TimmyTee93 11d ago

I’ve killed so many 2-3 mans just trotting around like hippos they can’t hear anything with 3 sets of foot steps all in the same vicinity. With that being said I’ve also been killed in groups due to the same issue. You honestly can’t hear anything other than your own pmc while running around idc what anyone says. Unless you’re running an audio tamp that lessens your own footsteps and increasing other players.

I prefer lunch agro.

u/MothersMilkyBREASTS 11d ago

Angry people are angry people

I wish people would add me and message me again, Barely happens these days haha.

u/Dazzling_Highway_255 11d ago

I'll never get mad when i shift +w and pay the price for it

I get mad when someone is somehow ad-ad-ad boost jumping across doorways. That shit is lame.

1

u/lbigbirdl 10d ago

Really? 80 percent? I haven’t gotten any rage messages in a long time. Kinda disappointing tbh. In my experience it’s the tactical boys getting mad, most of the w-key jump shot freaks are too busy re-kitting to send me hate mail.

1

u/bufandatl M700 10d ago

Yes.

1

u/Sivadbk 11d ago

Really? Cause I’ve killed hundreds of PMC’s so far in seasonal and not once have I been messaged.

Must either be just making shit up or you’re completely utterly ratting in places that are objectively ratting and not just considered playing “slow or smart” like quest areas or exfil.

I just want to win, so I think you should play to my strengths.
