veni veni veni posted:How much do you guys fast travel? I've only used it once. Just seems like more of a hassle and less fun than just traversing the map. The amount of stuff I've found out in the wild has made it worth it I think. It's also probably why I'm in early chapter 5 with a play time that is close to what some people have reported as being the whole game lol. I did it once then said gently caress that cause you have to remake all your gear.

I think it’s stupid that you can dismantle other players structures but can’t dismantle vehicles they keep leaving in the middle of roads. Stop leaving your vehicles on the roads people.

No. Die Hardman warns against killing miles but nothing really happens. I’ve killed a few when I ran out of bolo rounds. They respawn eventually.

Terra-da-loo! posted:Yeah, I figure they come back over time, but I meant in one instance or encounter or whatever. Like, can I clear the BT territory for at least a little bit of time? I ask because I used seven grenades killing em last night and there was still at least one in the area, and that at least seemed like a lot of them for as early on as I am. But, like, I dunno what their numbers are normally like or whatever. I dunno if I coulda cleared it for a bit with another 'nade or two, or if I did the prudent thing when I decided to just keep moving to the next closest distro. Get caught. Kill boss. It clears the area for a few minutes. I had a collect lost items for the craftsman I think in a BT area. It basically gave me enough time to get the materials then they came back as I was leaving.

Lost 100 likes, his buddy got terrified and ran off, his cargo fell off, and he laid there with two orange stars above his head with some strands connecting them. I laughed my rear end off then tried to help him but I didn't get any prompts or beration, so I think I'm fine? The two stars just means they're knocked out.

The vehicle physics on rocky and uneven surfaces are wonky af. Boost jump boost jump will get you up some rough places if you have the patience.

The first pizza delivery I did I pretty much ran while it was vertical on my back the whole way and it was only like 8% damaged. The second one I threw it in a truck and it was fine.

Raptor1033 posted:The time slow down can be annoying but not in a angry making way for me. What really gets my goat is the power interruption for vehicles and other electronics, I very nearly went flying off a floating highway with a truck full of materials that way. Was legit breath catching. In the same vein, the super zoom in the camera does when you leave a BT zone, that's really hosed with my driving many times. I fell off the road twice near Conan O’Brien cause of the slowdown. I just don’t boost through BT areas anymore, just ride at normal bike speeds.

Colonel Whitey posted:Man why do the dang roads require so many resources? I guess you have to earn that convenience but it’s quite a lot. The game seems to allow contributions from other players up to certain amount but it gets stuck there and makes me contribute the rest without online contributions ever increasing. The last time I had other players actually complete a section of road was shortly after I first arrived at the start of chapter 3. I’ve personally completed basically everything from just north of the Edgar Wright distro center to Conan’s house. The last few leading to South Knot are going to be a total pain to complete, and I still have the whole western side of the map to do. I know clearing out MULE camps is a good way to get resources but it’s not really enough, I have to wait for that stuff to respawn after I steal it and I don’t want to totally deplete the distro centers. I’m determined to finish the road network though, it’s bringing out my completionist tendencies. Don’t do the mountain roads. I’m glad I didn’t do anything past the incinerator. I saw one that said 9000 ceramics or some poo poo and I was like nope.

Avynte posted:I don't think so? Someone correct me if I missed a line tucked away somewhere though. It's in an email from Heartman. Timefall happens when chiral clouds mix with gamma radiation generated by lightning strikes.... or something like that. And it causes a distortion in space time. American McGay posted:It's one of those ominous looking baby dolls you see constantly around Cliff's character. It's never really explained how or why or what sort of benefits having that in his pod provided, just that it wasn't a real BB in there. The plastic doll seems to be Amelie's "connection" item to other characters. As mentioned it's in Higgs pod as a way to channel her powers. Die Hardman uses it to get to her beach. They're also around Cliff on his beach, which is probably how he can control BT's, like Higgs.

I killed some mules and deadman called me a bit after and said I need to dispose of the bodies and he marked them on the map. I eventually got a game over cause of the void out. I’m assuming after you get that call the bodies are wrapped up for transport. I didn’t check.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Also just generally speaking you gotta remember how fundamentally disconnected and scattered everyone is. Just because repatriates are documented at some point doesn't mean you can find them again. There's also a lot of knowledge that was lost and exists in only partial form at best, so documented cases of other repatriates might be decades old and fragmented. Die Hardman mentions early on Sam is the only repatriate working for Bridges. There’s definitely more out there.

Lanth posted:So, is it normal for (CH12) boss fights to trigger instantly without warning in BT zones when delivering the cryptobiotes to Fragile? Happened twice now. Both times on a bike, driving at a walking pace, carefully maneuvering away from wherever the odradek was pointing like I've done a hundred times before. No animation or pulling Sam down, just instant oil field with the squid and later on three lions charging at me. Yes. I ran into the squid. Then I ran into 4 of the loving lion things and died twice. I managed to avoid the lions by going over the mountain instead of around it. Then the last one seems mandatory as it’s right outside the city

Shaocaholica posted:Ok I'm still a bit hazy on how voidouts work in the lore. The prologue shows the dude being eating as still alive trying unsuccessfully to suicide via gun and knife. I don't understand what difference it makes if the voidout happens either way if you're dead or alive. It doesn’t. Seemed like he just wanted to die and not be turned into a BT. I think that’s how it works. If u get caught while still alive u turn into a BT. If your body is dead it goes necro and voids out.

I gotta read more of the emails. I thought it was mentioned that dead bodies cause void outs, and that years ago terrorists used to kill someone and hide the body.

Intel&Sebastian posted:I don't get the logistics of the scene where (ch4/5) Fragile is being force marched through timefall to bring a nuke...…..somewhere else? It sounds like she made a choice between two cities getting nuked but I don't understand why what she did was the better choice She had a choice between jumping out to save herself and letting the nuke go off or carrying the nuke to the pit, saving everyone but loving herself up. This is the second time Higgs tried to get her to nuke a city. She caught on to what was happening this time and tried to stop it. Previously she delivered the bomb and destroyed one of the knot cities. That’s why people distrust Fragile Express. Romes128 fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Nov 20, 2019 |

Shaocaholica posted:Yeah I've read that one before but what about the physical Amelie that went on an expedition west? The one that got kidnapped? The Amelie that everyone in the real world is talking about making president? The Amelie baby that was birthed from Bridget? In the physical world it's heavily implied that Amelie is Bridget's daughter. 2 distinct people with their own bodies. I guess they can have one soul but 2 different bodies? But the singular soul is stuck on the beach? Even though their physical forms are both doing stuff in the real world? I thought you can't do that in lore. You're either on the beach or in your body Theres no physical form of Amelie. DieHardman starts to speculate in a recording (before going to confront her on the beach) that no one has ever met Amelie, and it’s convenient that she’s the only “survivor” of one of two teams that went out west that was sent by Bridget. The rest of the gang also never met her in person. She’s able to project herself through the chiral network. It’s presumed that’s how she would rule as president. Amelies cover was when she was younger she was always sick and spent most of the time in the hospital. She never existed in the physical world. Sams memories of her were on the beach.
