what the fuck are you talking about? are you sure you're looking in the right square?

No I'm looking for unity near klamath

You should try Glow.

Even if you don't find encounter, it seems like you already did it.

All outdoorsman does is increase the chance the menu comes up to skip the encounter or enter it in rl/tb, doesn't increase the chance to find the encounter.

It doesn't make a differnce if you have more or less outdoorsman unity takes forever to find.

This isn't an issue of outdoorsman its on the development end. Begining of this session unity encounters would come up like the enclave in their squares. But they changed this becuase apparently iyou're not suppose to farm and stock your base up with laser rifles and rocket launchers. And everything has to be more time consuming and more frustrating because having base loaded with gear is not acceptable

Hmmmm, I seem to vaguely remember somebody bitching about this along time ago....

...oh well, I guess this is more productive running around trying to find unity vs rogues, gives you the opportunity to watch most of an episode of New Jerseys Housewives without these pesky encounter interruptions.

well that's your problem right here.

Not exactly. Outdoorsman alone and http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Explorer http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Pathfinder do increase WM travel speed. WM travel speed affects how far from each other the 'steps' {red dots} will be. On every 'step' you have a chance to encounter something (chance is depending on the critters in the zone).

So the lower Outdoorsman, the slower WM travel speed, thus more 'steps' on the way, thus higher chance to encountery something.

Well obviously its an annoying problem that only adds to frustration, tedium and boredom.  As such it should be fixed, this is a game not an exercise to see how many players you can get rid of through attrition of shitty unfun mechanics?  Game=fun?  Right?  No, my mistake, this is fonline, continue as you were, resume head up ass formation.

Make a Hunting Mode?

(Recycle the old Tracking thing or just add a window on area exit to choose hunting.)

Also, doesn't Unity accumulate bad rep towards you?

Yes you get - reputation with unity but they don't start shooting the minute you enter encounter until you get -2,000. Its not much of an issue. Its best to have an alt dedicated to farming if you are worried about town and faction reputations that you want to visit.

-300 actually.


After that it's all the same, having -300 with unity or -76000 is pretty much the same.



Now bad rep with critters from guarded towns is another story...

A "search for lifeforms/people" button would be an idea. instant-encounter for people who want to find an encounter, without OD applying (so no fast XP grind). I mean whats the point of the x minute wait until the next encounter pops up if you are looking for them? This doesn't balance anything, I can understand 45 minutes CD on weapons and armors but encounters happen so often, we don't really need a CD for people that are looking for them.

So you're that villian guy who keeps calling everyone a nigger in NCR?

Are you on topic?  Are you trolling?  Are you flamebaiting?  Do you have anything constructive to say?  hmmmm, seems almost like my finger making a gesture, over the report to moderator..... nah, it's just a gesture
aptly for you

Agreed. There's absolutely no reason to keep players grinding the map for encounters. Only matters that need to take time in pve are: dealing with the hostile npcs, looting them and managing the loot.
