Title: Power Armors
Post by: Grommok on August 27, 2011, 02:04:40 am
I've seen various guys hangin' around with Hardened Power Armor, they said they found it in weird places, like behind Hub billboard or such.
It is Pre-Wipe Madness or just a treasure hunt?

Since it's been a while since the last wipe and the new one is on the horizone, we've introduced "pre-prewipe madness". We've hidden various similar items all over the wastes, gave away more powerful stuff through events and such, to give people something new to fight for. Note, that this is still not the "real" prewipe madness, where stuff is laying around everywhere etc. Hopefully, players will use the hidden items in fights etc. :)

hope i didn't spoil the " fun " ;D

Ran trough all reno  , reno stables , golgotha , mariposa base , rocket silo , themepark , gordon gas station didn't find anything nolifers must have claim it all over night or maybe devs think " hidden " is in ncr , hub etc. etc. for trolls to claim it and if some troll actually finds it it will wear in his tent and die from happiness in the end the PA will rot , so give PA to real men who would actually use them :)

Funny idea, smells like gold rush. Everyone going to find armors which will be not used to stay in town or fight in combat.

The idea was to introduce them in larger quantities (53 to be precise) so that exactly the bold part does not happen. I want them to be used in actual fights, not as tent decorations. :)

Let me guess your tent ?

Then distribute the pa's for the major fighting parties in the wasteland and sooner or later you gonna see them in action , if you give pa's to ncr trolls well the bold part happens just saying :)

Dont know what "various places" mean but i little tried it out (Mariposa, Modoc, Ghost Farm, VC) and nothing. Maybe i am blind, or i wasnt behind EVERY wall but nothing. Ill see

Post by: T-888 on August 27, 2011, 12:53:28 pm
Your not blind everyone just looks in those places must be looted already , for now i think it's not worth to look but heard a rumor that nexxos will spawn more pa's so keep your eyes open :)

A certain public place.

It was just a matter of searching, it wouldn't have been fun either if the power armors were only given to big gangs, and new players wouldn't have any chance to obtain them. There are still some of them around, so you still have some time!

And some individuals from bigger gangs have already started the gathering through their own ways (like in here (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=18320)).

but heard a rumor that nexxos will spawn more pa's so keep your eyes open :)

This isn't true, but what's more likely, is about the weapons which are going to be available later on.

I am not some fan of PA but i like to see that "prewipe madness" started so i guess wipe will be at the end of this month, and thats what i really love to see(just my guess, dont forget)

If you want to see them used, take them away every 24-48 hours and put them in new locations, that way there is really no point in hording them in a tent or base.  ;D

Iam not an idiot, to find something all day, what I cant find.

I searched the whole wasteland, didn't find any power armors. :C
Title: Re: Power Armors
Post by: RJ on August 27, 2011, 04:52:08 pm
There is quite a lot of those Power Armours around actually. I saw at least 3 bluesuits on level 1 (new players not alts) that had them since they found them in some silly places (and as we know new players usually search around). One HPA was looted by guard in Hub from what I've seen so killing people in guarded locations having Power Armours on started already :)

Will this be used to gather some data/feedback?
It'd be lovely if more various armors could've be available more widely during later seasons.

Must have pressed "G" on all hexes in 4 towns by now. Searched every container, even checkstolen random NPCs to see if they were carrying stuff.

30 Frag grenades
1 Plasma pistol with ammo
40 pieces of junk
and 2 half destroyed Hunting rifles

I will be auctioning away my newly found treasure loot any day now.
