Title: Desert Stalker VS a CA high hp char
Post by: Bulldog on April 18, 2010, 02:53:28 am
So, I've just been killed by a roach... Wearing CA, high EN, a simple roach killed me, is this the way it should be? Should I run as soon as I see roaches?  :P

Eye-critical instant kill. Check out this topic if you want to debate if it is over-powered or not: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=3536.0

Well the desert stalker is meant to be a really really powerful beast to watch out for, similar to the deathclaw.
But I agree with you, this 143hp eye crit while wearing a CA is really a bit over the top. ;)

Hell...Killed by a roach...I don't even know, who should be more embarased, me or the guys I've killed before, this means that they've been killed by a guy weaker than a roach

By the way, if they are so godly, why do they offer only about 300 exp?

haha as i tough - they dont have as high crit ratio but they cripple alot so they have improved criticals ^^ what can we say - dont tank them (uh hard to kite them imo as they move v fast and have also have alot of ap for TB ... my guess they should just give triple as much xp as they give now to cover up for how hard they are

I think it's quite okay, I wish they won't become as farmable as the Centaurs.

in theory if you would ave high resistances you can tank centaurs ( at most they will criple you ) vs DS there is that risk you get isnta killed -thats bad ... and any critter can be farmable - enter with 2 people one kites other one shots easy stuff - any melee critter can be farmed this way

It's not a "roach", it's a mutated ant lion.

Base xp rates are almost completely random at the moment.

Actually - I've seen a bluesuit with shotgun just the other day - He killed two of those.

You think you had it bad? I was hit for 244 HP by a holy person. So many people in the wastes and I had to meet David Carradine...

I was knocked out continuously by desert stalkers, a slow painful death. :(

The same with a brahmin in pre-wipe, I was wearing sniper rifle+metal armor, and that damned cow knockouted me again and again till I die.

Btw I noticed that Ghouls Scavengers (not Crazies) and Stalkers have great crit % chance. Damned Scavengers got like 6-8 crits on me in a row, fortunately only damage, without effect, and it wasn't head/eye/groin-shot, simple snap shots with mausers. Stalkers kill all molerats without simple hits, criticals only...

Seems everyone has it's "omg that freakin stalker" stories... I was killed twice very rough by these critters,
one time they knocked my out, one time instakill. So guess what i do now, i don't go into close combat with them!

You should try to do the same. Guys don't cry about them, we have already enough strong enemies who are actually
more a joke. Like endless walker and cents. The stalkers should stay as they are now, just watch a bit out guys....

endless walker
Fighting them in Real Time, even lags can't bother you, you can even go to kitchen make some food and return, and you'll see him crawling to you, then just shot his eyes one time, and 2nd shot on his laying body to end him, to get your 450 XP. One of the easiest way to get XP now.

I seem to find alot of David Carradine's pet Kung Fu ants with amazing jumping abilities.Somehow they always manage to make me drop my gun with jump kicks and flying mandibles.Desert Stalkers like to deal deadly 4hp knockout crits to my legs.

Im not so sure this is even a proper whine thread Fridg_Man,more of a funny story thread if you ask me.

I like them the way they are. Maybe knockdowns are a bit high (because they do poison and injur like crazy). We need more difficult creatures in the game. It's more challenging like that.

But the injury these guys incur is incredible. Only takes a few hits for cripples. Knockdowns and knockouts occur wayyyy too often for any melee creature though. I think it needs to be slightly decreased across the board. But it's my opinion. Get stonewall.

Once again man, wasteland is harsh, and you should always hunt with at least one other person.

Peace and good luck bro.

Desert Stalker isn't that tough - three bursts from Combat Shotgun did the job, without critical hits. My char has 1% critical chance, I see criticals rarely than empty NCR's Bazaar :>

Wasteland is harsh - CA + good gun doesn't make you magically immortal.

That's what the painting of elvis is for.
