Before you start going off, yes this is a whine post. I am totally sick of having to sprint up and down the exit grid while I'm being splazered by mercs and press gang members. If I have escaped, I should be able to escape goddamn it. I don't begrudge getting hit with a head crit and pretty much insta-dying, but I should at least be able to run. Nine seconds is a complete death sentence, frustrating, and the most broken and idiotic system in this game.

1) Buy internet, you should easily run away from 99% encounters before any NPC even shoots at you.
2) Even if you got shot (and it's not an instakill) it isn't really that hard to outmanouver NPC's, you just need some practice.

i can leave before npcs react so its not hard to do benkain.

I agree, its quite simple to run from most encounters.
From my experience, problems can arrise either u have laggy net, or slow pc.

[Beret]

Always can be server lags...

Merc and press gang npc have decent skill in their weapons, and mercenaries especially have alot of perception, so they shoot at farther lengths than other npcs.  (take ghoul crazies for example, we all know those bastards shoot at max, but at least they don't run, and have shitty weapons).

Unless there is other npcs in encounter, your prolly gonna get hit, and after that, you're prolly dead, considering the Hit=Lag issue this server has.

As far as the 'get internet' and 'buy a better computer' comments go, I have an Alienware Gaming laptop and top of the line Comcast business class internet. Its not on my end.

When a character gets hit in RT (at least mine) he loses about two hexes. This coupled with city exit zones (which are small at best) make it totally impossible to escape high PE enemies. At this point I have enough hp to take a good hit or two, but the timeout, is again, a death sentence.

Maybe make a perk "Escape Artist" that lowers the clock or some such, because this is really starting to irk me.

Just make battle timer only from other players

People will farm encounters near exit grids and if things are going to end badly, they will just leave enc.
