Hi readers,

Can anyone make that clear for me ?

    Since i'm quite new to FOnline (though i played the hell out of fallout 1 and 2 !), i'm not sure if these are just noobish concerns or if this post will add anything to the general thinking and trying that's going on with the reputatoin decay system and some other sides of the game. It's just that I haven't been able to fully answer these questons, so i'm bringing these to general attention.

    1) With Metzger out of the game since February 10th, there's no way to get to know him (mordino's package quest for example) so that he tells you about the raiders etc, Thus preventing anyone to reach lvl 3 gunsmith during this period ?
I would understand the situation if it's the case, of course; I just want to be sure, and to make this side effect of Metzger's removal obvious, since he was removed for differents reasons concerning merks and slaving apparently.

    2) And I want to point at a precise situation involving new reputation decay system. Someone who kills a slaver critter goes to for example -100 in reputation with slavers. Then he wants to become a small gunsmith lvl 3.
Performing the Mordino's quest should raise that reputation by 150 or so, making it +50. So if he wants to reach +120, the point at which Metzger's supposed to tell you about raiders, and since reputation decay won't take rep as high as 0 (no higher than -200), he'll have to raise his reputation to +120 by killing critters (rangers for example i guess) or becoming a slaver himself.
Is that correct ? Is it what the devs had in mind, or a twisted side effect ?

    Thanks for reading, I hope it's clear enough, and that it will help other players from the Wastes !

    My character is Lacan too, no faction yet, he's not really good at anything, but he's already have plenty of good laughs with many of you, so thanks and see you soon;

As far as i know, you cant raise your reputation by killing critters above -200. Not by personal experience

hi;

last changelog says : "Cap for reputation gained from killing is 200 instead of 0", and it's been discussed somewhere else. that's a major change i guess, though I haven't seen anyone confirming that it's actually taken place in the game. But my guess is that it has.  Apparently it's the will of the devs to make reputation more dynamic around 0, and more based on your actions (quests, critters...);
ive made little mistakes in the original post about that, i'll correct now.
