Making my way underground now and i am enjoying the challenge. Realy looking forward to the update nightwatch > As you have said many times before you can make this game as easy or as hard as you want to, i am only using 2 artifacts as well just to crank it up a bit as i am leaving the detector on my belt as well

[DARK TEMPLAR]

Why thank you Nightwatch

[Nightwatch]

Great pictures Ultradad Very nice hits.

I'm going to see theTransformers 2 this Wednesday night, looks like a fun to watch movie.
I hope you didn't get sorry that you saved Kruglov's skin in Get the Readings Mission. But sure you've got some got equipment.

You're welcome, DARK TEMPLAR

Guys, I'll update the Players Corner pictures and Stats with the available ones, hopefully, after Tuesday. I've been dealing with some quite erratic situations on the work front. But all the recent pictures and Stats have been stashed safely so far for processing.

[Grump642]

OK, Nightwatch. We all know how hard Garbage can be with that Chopper after us all the time. But how in the HELL are we supposed to get around TWO of them!!!em!! http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Grump642/Soc/ss_grumpy_06-22-09_19-27-36_l02_gar.jpg http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Grump642/Soc/ss_grumpy_06-22-09_19-26-26_l02_gar.jpg. Hell, there were even 2 dead APCs out in front of the hanger, instead of the normal 1. http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Grump642/Soc/ss_grumpy_06-22-09_19-27-29_l02_gar.jpg

[Nightwatch]

When considering that there are two "abandoned" APCs also spawned in the middle of the road instead of one, and provided that there's no corruption in your files, then it'd point to that a glitch in the CPU and engine coordination threw two of the APCs and Choppers there.

You can reload a previous save; and/or to test the situation, after saving your position there, you can re-enter the level to see if it repeats.

[Grump642]

Tried both, and they are both still there.I wonder what else has been doubled up? This playthrough has seemed a LOT harder then I remember. Guess I will just have to deal with them. Payback can be a real BITCH!!

[Nightwatch]

That's really interesting. You're right about asking what else has been doubled up, I was thinking the same while looking at your pictures. If the CPU continues to spawn everything double, then you've hit the Extreme-Double version which is not yet released, not even planned yet. That, my friend, would really be a tough deal.

"Endgame in progress" (one game day) -

- decided to go wipe out monolith @ the source, since NPP was boooooooring... got hit with a holy shit horror-time! - had two compadres with me, but they went down midway.

[Grump642]

Tell ME! I came from Agroprom to Garbage. As soon as I spawned, I had a very large herd of boars hit me from behind, a bunch of Bandits hit me from the front, and 2 choppers overhead. ALMOST too much for an old fart like me to deal with.

[fiznerpin1962]

Busy busy busy.....

[Wombat_70]

Hey Grump I've just restarted a new game (newsa 3) got to Garbage saved Serys ass he handed me the
Groza-NT, and two bloody helicopters hovering over my head and no rpg to take care of them, I made to the toilet
block before it was to late if you know what I mean , now I can't get out, if I do I'll be hamburger meat
for those damn dogs.

OK, Nightwatch. We all know how hard Garbage can be with that Chopper after us all the time.

maybe not in Garbage, but I've come across three in RF,two in BS complex, two in Pripyat, this was in Freeplay.maybe unrelated but while in Freeplay I've found the dammned things firing at me then when I've loaded up the rockets and taken aim they've always pulled back and just circled me, which is a pain when you're trying to drop them as they always seem to move when the rocket is on the way and trying to "lead them" is almost impossible.
I've been slack, I'll upload my chopper shots before the weekend, got some nice kills

[Nightwatch]

Great pictures again, fiznerpin1962
Must be a hell of a Horror-Time that you faced there.


C'mon, Grump642, 2 choppers are nothing for you. I think game knows it, too, so that it must've thrown some extra bandits and boars as well, as some topping.


busetibi, yes, buddy, your account of choppers are correct. At some parts of the game there may be an additional one as well pending some pre-conditions met.

same thing is valid for the APCs as well, in fact, on the road that leads to the Agroghom military complex while you're going there to see Doctor (not passing through Mole's base) you can be attacked by up to 3 APCs simultaneously, as you've quite possibly experienced.


Wombat_70, I see the conundrum that you've been faced with there. But you may like this news:


Guys:
Although I do not release piece/part-patches as of my general principle, but on this occasion, until the 1st main patch is available, I'm now offering a super-mini-patch just for the guys on the forum, which will introduce an RPG and 3 missiles into the game, inside the toilet at (outside) Seriy's Hangar.
Its' an attached file to this post. Download it if you wish. It says on the small read me, but anyway you know what to do.

Nah. I only speak for myself - but I can wait Day 2 of "endgame" ( no kit, no looting, No buying. I am killing/looting a dog for it's tail once in a great while, & selling off stuff I find in marked stashes that I can't resist... )

[Wombat_70]

nightwatch you're a life saver, but I don't know
if 3 missiles will do to bring down 2 helos, I suppose 3 is better than none

thank you for helping nw

[Wombat_70]

nightwatch I had to restart the garbage level to get the rpg,
and to my surprise this time only one copter was overhead
don't know what happened to his friend.
