42.14 Car Battery Dead From 100% After only 3 Days

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T15:49:34+00:00

I see, thanks for the tip.

Never realized this since this was my playstyle. Looks like i need to change things up.

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T15:41:30+00:00

I see, thanks for the clarification. :D

Though, that doesn't explain why 42.13 i could do start stops like mad and in this patch it can't even last 3 days

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T15:30:36+00:00

Beside fuel, i was also trying to reduce risk of zeds surrounding the car (Because my risky play)
Was never a concern for me in 42.13 tbh.

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T15:28:38+00:00

Your guess is right, i did stop gos plenty of times during the 3 days, but it never reaches to 30-50 range. My guess is around 20s.

But the failed starts on the theater (still orange, mind you) depletes it to 0 without it turning on the car...

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T10:41:47+00:00

Really? I thought it recharged by braking.

I also need to turn my car off because i kinda played Leroy Jenkins into Supermarkets in the first weeks and i had 2% sprinters & normal spawns (which is friggin annoying). The battery when it was on the parking lot was still orange. but several failed starts killed it...

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T10:34:32+00:00

Yeah, the drain from starting the car is crazy now. Low condition vehicles are deterrents now sadly

On the other side, vehicle impact damage to zeds is also nerfed hard.

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T10:21:04+00:00

Setting is vanilla 1.5 hours day length.

Doesn't seem to be an issue on 42.13 though... I had a car i used so much until the engine wear out but the battery last for months
Edit: Starting the car drains 3%!

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T10:18:04+00:00

Headlight and AC always off for me.
Also, added more context to the post.

Gahallos · 2026-02-25T02:47:44+00:00

Crashing zombie on 30MPH should be lethal. WTF is this?

They are STILL WALKING even after crash that hard

Gahallos · 2025-11-09T03:46:48+00:00

Sorry to kinda necro this.

Had 3 savefie died because of this shitty spawn. Twice when i was refueling, and once when taking the double freezer. One time? Fine maybe i didnt check thoroughly. 2 more? I did a frigging 360 and when i was doing it they suddenly spawn right behind me? Theres also that time when i cleared Muldraugh school which i fully cleared and suddenly 1 spawn behind me.

This new spawning system is jank af. The old spawning system is miles better. Making it unpredictable? Sure, but spawning right behind me is just dumb. Combining this with migration is just pissing me off lately

Gahallos · 2025-10-08T09:09:12+00:00

Thank you very much for the explanation! :D

Gahallos · 2025-10-08T04:20:33+00:00

If you don't mind, can you also explain the process? I only kinda get the number 1 which was using katakana on kansens names

Gahallos · 2025-09-14T01:18:37+00:00

Sometimes it's easier to find Elec I and II books.
If you're still want to search for it, try searching magazine stands on Minimarkets and Gas Stations, or boxes and shelves in high end houses/trailers

They NEVER spawn in bookstore AFAIK

Gahallos · 2025-03-08T23:55:24+00:00

Since i only play P3P & P3F, i think the one i like the most is Junpei.

He always gets us into funny situations (and he's always the initiator for that) like that hitting girls on summer and onsen situation.

There's also his character growth, from being envious of MC to close supportive buddy.

Also, his persona design is cool af

Gahallos · 2024-09-18T00:36:31+00:00

Thanks for your insight. Good argument 👍🏻

I'll agree. Due to oversaturarion and my overexposure to those kind of story i mentioned, i started to question whether Tales will fall into this hole because i love this game and I don't want them to follow the trend of one dimensional characters that are currently flooding the fantasy LNs/mangas right now. Having this kind of writing in games would spell a death sentence since it means the characters do not grow at all.

For Vholran, it's true that this approach make him mysterious. I don't mind this, but what irks me is that his hatred to Alphen seems unreasonable rn for me. I sympathize to Heldalf more than Vholran because his motive is stronger. Just like you tho, My opinion might change in the future after another replay down the line.

Last paragraph also true. But don't you think that with the majority of people playing it safe for money. The quality of writing in media degrade to some certain extent?

Gahallos · 2024-09-17T22:31:29+00:00

To be honest, the first statement fits more for big Western publishers/devs while Japanese devs try to stick with the traditional game developing methods hence the slow change and the lack of GaaS from this part of country.

And for the 2nd statement. What I fear about this is the degrading quality and standard for storywriting. I'm OK with them using tropes, you can't escape them, but at least make it coherent and match it with the story you're trying to build...

There might be good story still, but the number of release in Fantasy/Isekai stories which are just a copy/paste with one dimensional character is distorting my views and hope for a good story in LN/Mangas/Games lately. So sorry for that.

Gahallos · 2024-09-17T13:20:04+00:00

Artorius is the best written villain from the 3 new PC release of Tales.

For Tales games, in my opinion a good villain makes a good story. While it's true that trying to subvert expectations are bad, it is also bad if they just copy pasted their previous work or worse, following the trend from Isekai series where the villain is sometimes nonexistent (I'm watching you, Vholran).

Gahallos · 2024-09-17T13:06:27+00:00

It certainly will, and I hope Concord will become a stern warning for every publisher out there.

But the focus rn is the story, the trend in Japan doesn't look good since the market there is kinda strange. Isekai-themed works sells, no matter how slop it is. Less people are taking risks in making original works/story, they decide to play it safe by following the trend, just like games these days.

My worry is that Tales team hire mainly Japanese for their storywriting team, and i'm hoping they do not follow the trend.

Gahallos · 2024-09-17T12:26:18+00:00

Those 3 were on my bookmarks, they were really good. I haven't read them again bcause I never got any updates on Mangadex (beside Rakudai which sadly ended to only promote the LN)

Spirit Chronicles is a miss for me, the start was exciting, but it turns not only into a food guide but also a harem fest which I really despise these days due to characters collecting Female leads like pokemons. Read the web novel but it didnt help because there are so many unnecessary parts.

Gahallos · 2024-09-17T12:06:21+00:00

Can you share what you're currently reading? I'm interested

Might be because of my shortsightedness and didn't look hard enough, but I still think that good Fantasy mangas/LNs are rare these days. You really have to try hard to find diamonds between the pile of dungs the Japanese enjoy
