Title: Low Level Hunting Parties
Post by: MrSarcastic on March 12, 2013, 10:06:33 pm
Hey Guys, here's the idea:
We get a bunch of people together and shoot at things! Sounds fun yet?
Well, if it doesn't let me tell you a little more:

For whom it is:
1. For relatively new players who seek to participate in organized hunts for either fun, loot or experience.
2. For seasoned players who seek player interaction and new quality of gaming experience (or the old, long forgotten one)
3. For anyone else who wants some fun.

How does it look like:

1. On given time (I aim for quite frequent hunts - even on weekdays) people interested will come to NCR and meet Adele Fox
2. We'll go to a safehouse located south of NCR - everyone will read maps showing locations to several other safehouses. I understand that it'll take some time since everyone will have to do it. But it'll help us in a long run.
3. Safehouses are located close to BH, VC, Reno, San Fran and other popular destinations. They are perfect places to store loot and reform a party once split up.
4. Once everyone knows location of all safehouses we decide on destination. It'll be either one of popular farming zones or some survival adventure depending on people's choice.
5. We'll all communicate by using radios and ingame chat only.
6. We kill shit and try not to be killed. And try to have fun while doing so. Roleplay is very welcome but not obligatory.
7. We share all the loot. Personally I don't care about it and I guess that most of experienced players won't bother either. That means it's a great opportunity to Noobies to get some gear.

Who's welcome:
Any player on reasonable level with own gear. Even leather jacket and BB gun will do. We just don't need a pack of unarmed bluesuits.

Who's not quite welcome:

1. High level players (i.e. 285 gatling/m60 dual burst farmers or some kick ass laser/plasma fast shoters) - It'll spoil fun for everyone else. It is not an organized farming of NCR or BoS - just some casual PvE adventure.
2. Bluesuits - For reasons described above.
3. Lvl 1 guys - Again - It'll spoil fun for everyone. We gonna depend on each other - no need to babysit assholes who can't lvl up on molerats first.
4. Trolls, PKers and other assholes.

DISCLAIMER: Of course I understand that no player driven event can be idiotproof. Assholes are among us and shit can happen. But we gonna try to have as much fun as it's possible. No guarantees or promises are made - you risk shit you bring and some mild dissappointment in case something goes wrong. But you can gain stuff, fun and new friends. Choice is yours.

We're leaving NCR on Wednesday around 19:00 forum time. Party of at least 6 is required for us to start. I provide: 10 CHA leader, network of safehouses available to all participants, radios.

To participate just come to NCR at 8 PM or tune in to.

If your looking for people to play with, The Last Light frequently organizes hunting parties, such as this. That may be a good place to organize and find more people.

Thank you Ben. I know and respect TLL. This initiative however is meant to be as "politically neutral" and casual as possible. If a known faction gets involved, it's enemies and allies will show up and so on. If few kind souls from TLL would like to participate - it's cool. But I don't want people to think about it as an event organized by a faction.

Hey Show. You are missing a point completely. There is no fun in vaporizing muties with Avenger or Gatling. We aim for small guns and unexperienced players who will cherish every single victory. This is not an organized farming which is supposed to be effective. It's supposed to be an adventure. Feel free to join with some SG char, even incognito if you wish and have fun :)

Count me in tonight.
Awesome. Looking forward to see you in NCR

As explained in The Last Light's topic, TLL is not a faction but a "network of helping hands" like my signature says. It is "politically neutral" and it tries to be a known place in IRC where people like you (that is people who organize these kinds of newby-friendly events) can easily be reached.

Needless to say I like the idea of these hunting parties very much and I'll be looking forward to be in one/some of them.

IMO, you should add people as friends in a tiny base network. It is easier to add people in all the places in the same time, and easier to remove someone you can't trust.
For tent, each player need to read all map. And you can't remove a jackass.

1. Costs: 50k caps and 250 brahmin hides seems much more than 5 folded tents
2. Jackasses were, are and always will be. No need to do something because of their existence.
3. There are not enough security tiers for non-members. Only friends (any My Friends are really trusted ones and they have access to bases all over the map) and Invited (which is problematic as each "invited" can become a recruit).
4. I hate spawning locations in Trapper Camp - they are everywhere
5. Tents/safehouses can be abandonned anytime



Hope to see you guys in one hour time!

Thank you Everyone who participated All who supported the idea.

Despite low numbers it was fun. Once finished with hunts we did Stranded Rust quest for chars, who didn't do it before. Next time it may be a Mutant Cave, Unity/VC hunt, survival against predators or anything else you like.

Next hunt planned for 20:00 forum time on Friday.
Yes, thats Vendredi, Freitag, Viernes, пятница, Piątek, Pátek, Piatok, Péntek, Venerdì and 星期五 ;)

To participate just come to NCR at 8 PM or tune in to.

Is another hunt planned soon?

Suggestion:

Make next one in real time :P
Good training for the newbs, since RT is what they mostly aren't good at. And RT is only way in towns, events and almost any PvP situation, so best they learn it early and I'm no newb, but I still could use some practise ;D.
Apart from that RT is more fun and exitement ;D  And I could play my RT Doc for once, who is worthless in TB...(which suuuucks, but thats another topic)

Nothing to loose, right?

i would like to go today if it wouldbe possible, 20:00 is fine but i would prefer 19:00 or so

Hey Guys,
due to some other commitments I can't do that today.
Feel free to use the network of safehouses I created for that purpose (BLDYMSS should have access to the NCR one where all of the maps are). Ill put maps to all 10 safehouses there before 7 pm.

I must admit I've abandoned the idea after two attempts. Despite of positive feedback I got from people (by either forum or PMs) not many people were interested in actual hunting. Maybe I started to early (6 PM GMT), or the whole idea of having fun instead of systematic, purposefull farming was flawed. Or maybe I'm just to quick to give up. Either way - I hope you guys will have a fun time!

Aww, I would've liked to come to one, but I can't really go that early...

I don't know if you'd have wanted me though, I'm a real noob (just started playing and am only level 7/9 on two chars), but I play energy weapons ><
