Title: Lockpit and lockbox
Post by: shkoda999 on January 23, 2012, 05:31:34 pm
I have skill hack 300% + spikes and I can not open the chest.! What does it mean? FTW  :o 10 times tried not open. This is the bug or something else?

Gotta keep trying.  It's a dice roll, may not get it the first ten times but try again.
And you say you have a hacked account to get your skill up to 300%?  That doesn't sound like something I'd post on the forums.
And you have spikes?  Like spiked knuckles?  What's that have to do with anything?

Stop complaining the lockpicking skill works fine.

I'm guessing "skill hack" and "spikes" are literal translations from his language meaning "lockpick skill" and "lockpicks".

Anyway... What's your luck? Might be it's quite low and botching your rolls.

Lockpick 300 + Luck 10 + Agility 10 + Perception 10 + Intelligence 10 + lockpicks + Treasure Hunter...

= most lockers open, but some just won't open. I assume we need the expanded lockpick set but i won't be surprised if some lockers still won't open even with them. Sometimes i open one after 3 tries and it's empty. Sometimes those were heavily trapped. Sometimes we find 3 blueprints in 1 hour. Other times the same area yields ZERO plans in 3 hours.

I'd love to see the code on this.

Ignore the previous TGH post, this is a dual account.
But yes, some lockers are impossible to open. There have been a couple threads about this, in earlier ones Devs said it was a bug (because of the effort during this session that's gone into discouraging alting through the necessity of 300SP skills), but here, Wipe says it isn't.

Anyway, if I don't get it the first time I typically don't try it again. Don't do what that dude did, some are just lost causes.

I always try at least 3 times.  I figure it's easy to go 6 minutes without finding a locker so you might as well try a couple of times.  Many many many times I've failed on my first but succeeded on second or third.

6 people with skill 300% tried one and open the chest totzhe to 5 times. Get 30 attempts. And it does not open. The error in the game when I fix it?

Just move on and find another box.

Developer said some boxes are meant to be unlockable even with 300% and lockpicks.

Whether this means you need to have perks or find other ways to open them (crowbar?, dynamite?) is unclear so for now your best bet after trying 3-5 times is to stop wasting time and leave to try and find other boxes.

If you want a "RP" perspective the lock is rusted and jammed. Even the best locksmith couldnt open it.

At the same time best locksmith could perceive that the lock is impossible to open...

Right! It'd be good when glancing at the lock would give you it's difficulty level: piece of cake, easy, regular, problematic, hard, tough call, insane, impossible!

No, a locksmith couldn't open a 200 year old rusty lock that is jammed shut.

But a 12 year old with a crowbar could.  And trust me, I got a lot of crowbars in my pickers tent.  It would be nice if there was another use for it other than beating rats in the face.
