FOnline Newbie woes...

(1/3) > >>

Murka:
Hey people, I'm new to FOnline!

I can understand the ruthless unforgiving MMO aspect, after all, this is fallout, but there are some things I cannot understand the reasoning behind.

1) Speech/Barter timers, seriously, why is this needed? Why do I need to "race" the already clumsy fallout barter interface so I can make a simple trade?
2) On the subject of trade, the weapon/armor/ammo etc' filters are nice, but it would be really cool if a text filter was in, and an option to sort by deteroiration %, I'm sure no one wants to buy a 80% det. weapon.
3) Some sort of "party" mechanic, I could not find information about such in the wiki, so I suppose there is none. Guys, this is an mmo, there should be a way to group up with people.
4) I have not gotten my tent yet, is there a particular place to hunt for brahmin, or it's all random? Or is there a particular trader to buy some from?

Thanks in advance.

Murka:
5) Just got knocked down and mauled into the -15HP range, then instead of finishing me off, the AI guys just leave...and what am I supposed to do? The HP regen is really really slow (1 hp per 2 minutes? that's half an hour to wait!) There's no way to speed things up or suicide or something?

Kyon:
The reasoning behind the timer in trade is so that people don't just sit there all day with account in trade with a NPC. Only one person can trade at a time, and If more then one person could trade at a time, I think that trading could have the possibility of being a lot more bugged. I'm not sure how the ins and outs of the Fallout 2 engine work, but it sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Lacan:
1) you can scroll much faster using shift+mousewheel.

3)There IS possibility of grouping, hold click someone and choose the right icon.

5) you can type "~cuttheveins", it will kill you so you can respawn.

I suggest you take a look at this thread if its allright, as most of your questions were answered there...

2.I buy 80% or more det often, then i repair the item. Simple and easy to do although a 0% det filter would be nice
3.There is a party mechanic hold down your mouse over a person and hover over the icon with people in it, one is to join one is to leave parties.
4.You can ask other players, check most traders (use the wiki as some traders will buy brahmin skins for the full 100, those are the ones most likely to have them
