Title: Pigrats, overpowered and worthless?
Post by: Gimper on April 30, 2012, 07:17:55 pm
I've personally noticed, as well as my recruit faction members, that pig rats are definitely overpowered. A swarm of pig rats could easily down any new player in a matter of seconds. That's understandable from death claws, or floaters etc. But pig rats? Come on. I've also noticed in mole rat vs. pig rat encounters, Ironically, pig rats always come out victorious yet they give 50 experience points, where as mole rats give 120. Mole rats are also significantly easier to kill. My suggestion is to maybe do some work on the pig rat experience points, switch their experience with mole rats or possibly just boost it to 100. It seems unfair to make pig rats worth less than mole rats, even though they are stronger. Point proven.

Overpowered :DD is this somekind of joke?
If you see them overpowered then overpower yourself and take Toughness and Even Tougher and damages stay mostly at 0-3 dmg

(Even mutated pigrats damage is 0-4max, critical is totally different thing)

Mostly I just avoid them and go straight to Mutated Molerats for 300xp (330xp with loner/swift learner or 360xp with both)

btw better to kill mantis, their DR is so bad and every dmg type makes good damage to them + 70xp per kill

Did you not read the entire post? I said for my new faction recruits. Im sure anyone experienced can take them, but thats not the point. The point is that they can rape any bluesuit noob any time. Its ridiculous.

All I can do is sit here and laugh hysterically. 'Nerf Pigrats'... LOLZ.
Any nooblet can kill a swarm of pigrats with 1 or 2 moltovs, and they are not "OP" compared to molerats...

Best way to handle pigrats, if you are really newbie -> take another newbie with you.
You changes to win raises much.

Yeah, I known this post was for newbies who can't handle weak enemies. I read it all
It just makes me wonder, because I start always beat up Mutated Moles with 126hp on lvl 1 without problems (SG,EW,BG,HtH,Melee)

Every critter is harsh and does a lot of damage to lower level players that try to fight them directly, a small group of rats or ants can kill you, it has always been like this. This session humans were given a boost to their starting hp to make it a bit easier to survive against creatures.

Gimper's suggestion is not as funny as the fact that runboy93 is convinced we care about what he types in a smaller font in every single thread he posts in.

As for the suggestion itself, pig rats are fine as they are, just run away or throw molotovs at them. I don't see anything wrong with a swarm of mutated rats killing a human. This can be annoying if you're caught by lag but that is not worth a nerf, in my opinion.

Pigrats are ok the problem is with molerats. They are way too weak compared to the xp they give.

This.

Everyone focuses on his complaint that they are too harsh for newbies, but they don't realize (or are denying to, for excuse to trolololololoL) that he is mostly talking about how their exp doesn't reflect their obvious stronger than molerats.

Post by: runboy93 on May 01, 2012, 12:51:58 pm
Why here isn't any talking about Mutated pigrats?
Mostly they have 57HP and they gave 90XP, if I remember corretly.

They got DR/DT against some attacks and higher dmg, so even dangerous than normal pigrat.

Buff molerats! is it then.

Honestly, while leveling, when is see pigrats and molerats clawing at each other, i just kill molerats and run away, because pigrats aren't worth the effort for the XP they're giving.
But maybe it's exactly the way around, the BIGGER and supposedly stronger molerats should be take down 3 molerats before flopping to the ground.
Right now, they just give bigger targets for levelers.

All i can do i sit here and feel sorry for you, cause you cant read:] There is NO suggestion about nerfing pigrats, there is suggestion about increasing reward for killing them.

Everyone can , the difference is that someone doesn't know how.

Leveling is from lvl 1 to 24 at centaurs/floaters if you just know how , don't need to be pro , just use head.

Then I'd like to have a head because no matter how hard I crit them they only get knocked down.

then level on mutated molerats, big deal. also depends WHAT guns you use with fast shot (small or energy).

and to be quite honest i think you can level fast shot character there too. just coz you haven't tried it doesn't mean it's not possible.

OK, I make a new character, energy TB sniper. She doesn't share any items with any other character because that's
how I play. She doesn't get help from any gang because it's a loner that doesn't use any out-of-game help. Nor from
any player because she doesn't know anyone yet. She is supposed to make friends in game not in forum or IRC. The
character is on her own. No multilogs, taxis, etc. These restrictions are "by design" because I like to play this way.

I don't think "just use head" will work in this case, or rather the result of using it won't be trying to level up on centaurs
from level 1 :)
Title: Re: Pigrats, overpowered and worthless?
Post by: DeputyDope on May 03, 2012, 04:55:37 pm
you don't need to start leveling on floaters and centaurs at level 1. i, for one, level until, let's say, 8-12 killing molerats and other weak creatures. then i move onto centaurs.

Need level 1 to craft lazer pistols and SEC , with little effort it's easy to notice how AI works in VS encounters where there is usually only one NPC after you and as soon as you hit him it usually changes target if it doesn't , run around till the distance between you and the NPC is farther than the distance between the NPC and a another nearby hostile target. In case if it doesn't work then change encounter , if you don't want to risk dying and trying to hit him again. Of course at lvl 1 you won't have the skill to do eye shots even at close range ( if it's a mad max wannabe char , most probably will be possible to do eye shots , because their not powerbuilds with 1 str ) , so all you have to do is watch some npc's fighting and finish off one nasty floater with a torso shot that will instantly grant you the first level unless you already achieved it by crafting SEC and lazer pistols what will make it much more easier. So first levels finishing off with torso shots , then stuff gets easier.

Stuff like car , extra equipment like armor , healing supplies are not mandatory , but all that would save a lot of time and nothing more ( if you use head , you can find a way how to gather necessary items to obtain those things too , even with level 1 ) , you can get around the wasteland by bare foot and craft the necessary items , build tent wherever you wish as you just need to know where to find some brahmins.

Use head will just do it fine , but god you play so inefficiently , i think you waste more time than anyone else from my team.

I was a loner once too you know , nobody told me that , i thought of it myself. BECAUSE I USED HEAD and instead coming here and whining on forum how hard the game is , i just thought.

I agree, currently, they are not worth killing. Waste of ammo. Just compare.

I'm for XP boost. 80XP, 100XP, 130XP.

On the side note: Would be nice, if they drop some meat, so you could craft consumables. After all, they are mutated pigs.

Too bad that now that you pointed it out they're going to nerf the exp gain from Mole Rats, which is not that bad an idea, they're far too easy to kill.

The only bad thing about rats are that if they swarm you, you armor starts losing condition fast.
I had 70/70 CA, I enc Pigrats and I fight them (about 10), then I leave enc, and look at my armor's stats its
49/70.. C'mon people

it's stupid to nerf the exp gain of ANY critter until there are actually quests that give exp

To be honnest, i dont think this will happen any "soon". Like someone stated, the summer is comming, so we might expect update now, or as a christmas gift.

Solar has overhauling the whole XP system on his long to-do list, I think. So what happens, happens... but hopefully it will make pigrats less useless.
