Title: Why cant I find any player in wasteland
Post by: Yuma on March 01, 2011, 09:16:12 pm
I have been playing in the wasteland since 3 weeks and I have around 140 outdoorsman... I have never seen an encounter of player "a wastelander"... But others could find me... What s wrong ? My friend told me... since a long time he doesnt spot anybody in the wasteland either ?

That could be happening because there is indeed no player in your square ATM you pass by, as well as because you have a decent amount of points at outdoorsman skill that might skip that kind of encounter.

Yes, several person such as myself seem unable to encounter the vast majority of other players in random encounters.

What i understood after some testing, is that some players encounter other players frequently, but some can only encounter a few other specific players, i dont know much about computers, but it might have to do with open or closed port or something.

I also found out that if someone in your encounter is not suffering from the *i never encounter other players in the wasteland syndrome*, you will be able to encounter players you would not encounter normaly, not the other way around (having a *i never encounter other players in the wasteland syndrome* player wont protect your party from player encounters).

I never encounter 1 ... since 3 weeks no player and I play very frequently

This is probably due to the fact that caps are very common these days and everyone can get their fair share of cars. If you travel in a car, other players can't encounter you AFAIK. But I don't know if it's true - would only be my logical explanation.

Yes.... Other people can find me but I cant find them... I have %140 outdoorsman.. a friend of mine has %225 outdoorsman he cant encounter either...

it is impossible even many people use cars or so..


there is some problem, a bug or so...

i used to play this game a year ago and i encountered so many people always with same stats

I never encounter 1 ... since 3 weeks no player and I play very frequently

In 6 months, while traveling alone, i encountered about 4 or 5 players (one of them i encountered about 20 times). I play almost everyday.

Well, i am just leveling a new char with very low OD at a molerat hotspot, and i encounter alot of players there, plus get encountered by others too.
Seen like 20 players encs, in just 2-3 days.

I guess many chars there have low outdoors, and that somehow effects player encounters.

If you are running around in the vs encounter hotspots and not seeing anyone at all then i suppose it is a little concerning. May help to check the player count and are you more concerned about you not being able to spot wastelanders or others running into you?

Also if you play rt and are in and out of encounters for not very long you are essentially reducing the chance of somebody stumbling upon you.

I AM SAYING NEVER IN 6 MONTHS I WAS IN EVERYWHERE OF THE MAP AND IT IS NOT ONLY ME... MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND ALL MY CHARS....

OTHERS FIND ME I DONT FIND OTHERS

IT IS % 100 A BUG
Title: Re: Why cant I find any player in wasteland
Post by: Swinglinered on March 02, 2011, 01:17:07 am
I see people every day in my encounter options window, often several times.

Once every other week someone drops in on me.
(I leave very quickly except when hunting, which I do away from main lines of movement. This is probably why few people get a chance to drop in on me.)

Post by: LagMaster on March 02, 2011, 07:54:00 am
depends on your time zone and ODM, the lower the ODM the higher the change to encounter

but somethimes player encounters are not good

places to avoid player encounters:
-near guarded towns
-near TC places when friendly aliances are ocupi-ing town
-from respawn points to guarded towns

I have never met anyone this season, made 6 character. During that peroid I had about 5 situations when someone entered my encounter.
Title: Re: Why cant I find any player in wasteland
Post by: 5me0 on March 02, 2011, 09:46:07 am
Wow, can't find people in the wasteland, really ?
Maybe you just don't know where to look, or when to look.

I can tell you right now that I have no problem whatsoever finding PK'ers or wastelanders in general, on a daily basis.
I'd be seriously surprised if I didn't run into any players in some specific squares.

Use your heads to work out which sectors are popular traffic zones.
Also, you cannot encounter a wastelander if he isn't already in an encounter himself.
 

Tip: Look at "bottleneck" zones like near SF.
I wouldn't go there looking for a fight without an 18AP build tho :)
Title: Re: Why cant I find any player in wasteland
Post by: pistacja on March 02, 2011, 10:25:20 am
Maybe it's a RT/TB thing? When you have only RT in your settings you won't (?) bump into TB players?
Title: Re: Why cant I find any player in wasteland
Post by: Imprezobus on March 02, 2011, 10:43:11 am
well, then I think its okay if its matter of own settings. Truth is that I aslo havent played TB this season.

And also, instructing me where I should search for players is at least.. funny :D

That has nothing to do with it.
You take the setting of whoever started the encounter, regardless of your setting ingame.

If someone goes into an encounter first and is set to RT, you will enter it in RT regardless of your selection or settings.
Likewise for TB.

Afaik. Correct me if I'm wrong please

Nope, I was trying to help actually. Since 95% of people claiming bugs on the boards are either doing something wrong or are misinformed.


Why are people so stupid... I am telling I cant find anybody during frequent gameplay since 6 months and they tell me I look at wrong places....

Because, mr. smart crack , not everyone has the time or patience to read through the whole post and see you explain step by step, and your first post makes you sound like you fit in the 95% described above, and most people reply to the 1st post when its someone asking for help.

And I'm sure people will be more willing to reply to your thread and help you if you keep insulting people like a 14 year old.

I see encounters with " a wastelander " constantly , everyday and always when going from a city to another city or even when leveling up.
I have 150% and if there is a player encounter i think i always have 95% evade.

Finally it is no bug. Looks like changing the settings to "Turn Based" or "both modes" fixes the problem. Obviously You can only find encounters with people who have the same settings concerning the combat mode. Thanks to Yuma, he and I tested this successfully.
Title: Re: Why cant I find any player in wasteland
Post by: Camilla on March 03, 2011, 09:17:45 am
As some pointed out already it is indeed a settings thing.
When i play in turn based mode i encounter wastelander all the time, but in real time mode i did never encounter anyone at all.

Wow, the last to posts just told us the system is shiiiiiit.  SO WHAT if you put your on real time!?  its like a big lolwtf moment here.  It's the player in the encounter's choice to put it on what mode and why the hell would that affect your ability to encounter players in the first place??

Well, apparently problem was RT hinders you from encountering players....  Thank god "Both modes"  fixes this, and even more so its default is Real time when forced.

It is more sinister than that.

Michelh139, Kaczynski, Jenna, Dimension, Spoony, and Valentine staked out the banks in SF, VC, NCR, Hub, and Redding, then proceeded to withdraw everything, led by Qlibiban in Broken Hills.

Mass crash.

What to do next?

To you and Swinglinered:

I have had an understanding of economics in countries for a while now, since i was maybe 13 and half or so.  My first interest in this arose when I was 11, and learned of the great Depression.  I wanted to know why, so I looked on computer, and read for hours and hours about it, then watched a 30 minute long video about global economics, the monetary system, etc.

The second I heard of what was happening, I not only TOLD EVERYONE TO WITHDRAW THEIR CAPS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IT AFFECTED ALL BANKS in the thread, but Explained completely what was happening, before getting my own caps from bank in ncr, whitch was approximately only 3 million or so.

"Why cant I find any player in wasteland?"

- Becouse trolls ate them all. This game will become one man world at the end, when "the chosen one" would be the fattest troll ever with his "Wasteland is harsh, dude" excuse.

(All in matter of having "teh lulz", but on whos account when the game will become empty, even the last troll would die in cause of starvation)
(Would he start making fun from himself? - nah that would be crazy, like zombie eating his own limbs or vampire sucking his own blood, this not gonna work.)

I find this topic weird. Why would anyone want to encounter other players while travelling across the desert? If you want to kill, it's much more convenient to just sit and wait, isn't it? If you want to get killed, there are many other ways too. I have no idea whatsoever what OP is up to, but even if certain characters' inability to encounter other players really was a bug, I don't think anybody would want it fixed, apart maybe from the most impatient of PK's.
