About cars, carts and 10 minutes.
« on: December 06, 2011, 09:25:20 am »

How is it with the 10 minutes and cars (carts). I know that if I park my car somewhere in the Wasteland I have 10 minute chance that someone can encounter my car. What if 10 minutes passes, I go away from car and then I go back, where my car is parked. Is 10 minute counter restarted or I can play with my dog and relax around it?

It won't restart, you can do with your dog there whatever you want, just wait 10 minutes after creating location.

That's the magic behind car tents.

How's so? What's wrong with brushing dog's fur and playing fetch with it?

The best thing to do is to hide your keys somewhere in the encounter, and-if you are near a city that a lot of players pass by- wait the 10 min.

Little story: I was heading to redding earlier (right before the TC) and found a hummer parked in an encounter. It took me 5 minutes to find the key.

Now I have a free hummer lulz.

If you tell me, where the key was. I'll give it back to you. I promise.

Lost Children lost a hummer around Redding a few days back, Key should've been in a short shrubbery a few hexes from the Hummer itself.. However, if the trunk does not have at LEAST 1-2 BA's in it, it is not my Hummer.

So, does this work for all the encounters? I mean, when I encounter some NCP battle can anyone enter my encounter after 10 minutes?

After 10 minutes you can't send a distress call anymore.  Which also means no one else can encounter you anymore.

I once encountered a group of players camping an encounter and tried to radio my guys in as soon as I got sucked into the encounter, yet it said that it was too late to distress, rendering me helpless.

So, this either means that I was a second or two too late and I had just missed the time to distress (very unlikely), or the encounter life vs. distress signal time is not synchronized.

Or the timer is set when the encounter is created, and was expired before you even got there.

That is what I am saying, if I understand you correctly. It should be the same for both. Based on what has happened to me, and what I've seen in my own camping, the duration of time to be able to distress is less than the duration to be able to encounter the encounter. Meaning that a person can be sucked into encounter with no way to call for support because it is "too late" to distress. My point is that: shouldn't that time be the same for both, to prevent that from happening?
