Special Encounters Distributed By GMs?

<< < (2/7) > >>

Reconite:
Special encounters are location-based, to my knowledge. Which is why not every player has found one in the huge time they have been playing. It could depend on how often you cross a certain zone whether you find it or not, said zones are probably usually out of the way of the usual routes between places.

It's a pretty awful system because if one person in a faction finds the zone/zones a special encounter can be found on, they can just farm the crap out of it with alts until they are kitted out so well that nobody can take them out (the Gauss Pistol encounter is a very good example of this). Unless an opposing faction also has access to the knowledge of which zone a special encounter is on, so they can farm it too.

The system really only exists like this to further inconvenience players who play on their own rather than with a group.

This was changed about half a year ago. There is smaller chance to find them, but you can get them in various places.

"various" or "any"

Various sounds like it means "more than one location"

But "any" would imply we could find it 1 square left of NCR or 1 square left of ANYWHERE.


Just some CERTAIN CONFIRMED information would be really, I think highly appreciated by everyone.

Surf:
Jovanka has dropped many hints already in this thread that should make it easier for you to search for these new or old special encounters. Would you really search for a truck known to be in lost ruins in the middle of the desert for example?
