Random lock boxes suck
« on: January 29, 2012, 10:09:00 pm »

Random lock boxes suck! I can't open any of them, I have to make a lock pick alt. I've seen 1000 lock boxes and haven't been able to pick any of them!

Tell you what, how about I ignore them and you guys waste 100hrs to level your lockpick skill, then waste another 100hrs calling a GM. Ok? Running around by yourself getting cock-blocked by 20 frag mines sounds like a blast indeed hmm?

Some locked boxes are bugged and do not open. 150% has an fair chance to open them. More would be better though.

Who would say this, that in order to lockpick something, you actually have to invest in lockpicking skill.

Well as a developer answered... there are some boxes that even with 300% and lockpicks you cant open them.

To me that sounds like the game is trolling us...

Spend time levelling 300% lockpicking toon... get told you still cant open stuff.

How to lockpick crates:
1. Find encs with outdoorsman sg burster.
2. Check the map if there's crates quick, if yes, kill encs, if no, gtfo.
3. Distress your lockpicker alt from the worldmap and deal with the crate

Lockpick is right next to science and repair when it comes to alt-favoured skills. Nobody in his right mind gives lockpick to fighter, especially when the effective max is 300.

It's not a bad feature to find crates in wasteland with random loot, it's just yet again a completely new build is needed to deal with them is required. There's no sense saying "invest in lockpick" when the anwer will be "No I will make an alt"

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.

I've met a lot of chests. My character has 300 skill and 10 spikes luck but even with 10-15 attempts, they are still not open. Hence it is a bug game.

I'm pretty sure you are mistaken. What you meant was:
1. find a lock box
2. spend 9 min killing encounter
3. sign on to other computer to distress alt
4. Smg burster shows up
5. get gunned down.
or the other scenario
1. find lock box
2. die on traps
or the very last possibility
1. find lock box
2. call GM
3. try to pick while waiting for GM.

Nice drama merlin, whats next ? Dragonborn flies in on a dragon and shout FUS-RO-DAH ! Up Your ass while you're opening the " lock box " ? ;>
 It's fairly not that hard to obtain content of footlocker, have a character with lockpicking and some combat skills and search for encounters in urban part of map, 1/10 enco with enemy should have footlocker.
