Thanks for info. Spares us (at least me) from a lot of insecurity.
Good, I don't really want people taking out BoS/Enclave/VC/Hub/NCR Ranger patrols on their own armed with a rock and a LJ. They should be something that takes organisation and tactics to beat. The lower encounters HP should be the same as ever for the moment.
I'm afraid this can't be stopped. People farm in groups and alone alike. Just like they mine and gather in groups and alone. So far anything that needs to be done with friends hasn't stopped players from doing it alone. Look at bases, multiple tents per one char, quests, even tc can be done alone.
You see there's a vast ammount of ways to deal with hard encounter npcs alone and if you start to mess with those ways, other branches of gameplay suffer. However those ways are like last resort when the actual solid gameplay becomes too hard. It's not as fun as regular playing but you do it because of the rewards.
Here's some ways to farm alone:
- Drive a car in encounter and you can always return
- Use proxies in tb
- Make a build solely dedicated in hunting that group of npcs
- Pick only the most suitable encounters, scrap the rest
Besides, solo farming is already pretty hard when not using abuses. You die, your stuff is gone. Someone jumps on you, you're alone vs him/them. You can't loot that much. Impossible in rt vs hardest encs. Only thing I agree is that you can farm with total crap gear. But you can blame crits for that.
