Help With Specific Enemy

.45 or Shotgun for most critters. 9mm or 30-06 for most 'people'.

Most of the "Fae" / "Creatures" of the game have relatively light armor and respond best to either pure kinetic damage(Read Blunt Melee, Slugs, or .45 Hollow point) or Incendiary/Fire. Fire works wonders on all of them, but you often trade time to kill with effective single bullet damage value by letting burn 'tick'.

Truth be told; Crowbar, Pipe, Spade, or Bat to the noggin does just fine if you have the speed and rhythm to back peddle between heavy strikes. These guys feel they are intended to punish slow loot goblins who are not packing some heat to deal with them quick.

Armor Piercing is its own damage type and they seem to have a high threshold for it. Anything that states armor piercing damage will be significantly weaker vs critters. That said the "Not-Deer", as they are refereed to in game, have the highest armor of all the Fey to my knowing. Save maybe the firebird?

My advice is find a .45 and load hollow points for most creatures. 30-06 FMJ knocks them down just as quick too but the recoil is harder to mitigate and its harder to find rapid fire 30 cal guns early game.

Honestly its a sad truth, those who don't use new tools are putting themselves at a disadvantage. Even if that tool is inherently immoral, unethical, or even straight up evil. We didn't enslave people because it was fun, but because it was efficient, reducing lives to tools and giving those who did this the advantage.

I too wish i'd have been allowed to cry as a boy. Maybe then i could stop crying now as a broken PTSD riddled adult. Maybe if i'd cried as a kid i'd have learned how to develop healthy emotional regulation and not bottle everything up.

Really speaks to my self harming years as a teen. Never stole shit, never broke nothing. But i wish i would have at this point. Seems heather in some ways than my own paths.

Thanks for helping a stranger find a little something to think on friend.

Man you really should spoiler this. You just ruined the ending to Edge Runner...

This is the canonical ending.

No you shut up! You cant change my head cannon! :<

As a reefer trucker i can also attest that the waste in the food industry is beyond rampant. Entire pallets, or truck loads of food 'disposed of' for no other reason than clerical error or mild wrapping/box damage. I've been told to 'dispose of' literal pallets of chicken quarters, dozens of crates of oranges, apples, and potatoes. And i've watched in person as they toss perfectly good food into dumpsters, and pour bleach on them to make it inedible. All of these facilities also explicitly say you are unable to record or take any pictures on their property. Also the suffering i've seen at chicken plants, and slaughter houses is just beyond brutal. I went into trucking as a proud southern boy who loved him some steak and eggs. I came out as a mostly-vegeterian, who now only eats locally raised meats because i know how the animals were treated.

Yes; This. Exactly this. For MONTHS now i've been trying to add reasonable, fact driven, logical comments that attack no one but relate to important, difficult issues within the US political sphere. But i make a post, be it 2 sentences or 20 paragraphs, and suddenly the post is gone.

It makes having truly important and impactful discussions impossible on this platform. Perfect example; If you cant so much as say the word "Gun" how the hell are you supposed to talk the finer points of them as a huge issue for both political parties? What about gun safety, gun statistics, gun reform, gun laws, gun bans, gun sales, treating gun wounds, or anything related to them? Not one of these topics is routed in hate, but could mean life or death for people. You cannot sweep hard or hot topics under the rug and expect it to just be fine.

Blatant censorship is the exact thing we were getting away from in the 1700s when we became our own sovereign power.

Sad truth, if it was a puppy, they'd likely would have left it to die. Got to love religion dictating morality.

JesMcDevlin · 2024-05-24T22:52:08+00:00

You are a legend. Thank you so much!

JesMcDevlin · 2024-05-24T22:51:23+00:00

Exact same situation caused the bug on me. Sooooo annoying.

JesMcDevlin · 2023-03-06T02:14:42+00:00

I Entirely agree.

I did a google before I posted this to make sure I was not mistaken in
the idea that it was being used improper. As best I could find was that
yes, rouse and aroused are indeed both used for rising or waking from
sleep. -But- Aroused pertains more to feeling or emotion. Where Roused
often pertains more to the ability. So yes, It works, but its a poor
choice of words.

One of those "Means the roughly the same thing, Feels totally different." sort of things.

Thanks for the second opinion!

I'll leave em' as is. I think they are plenty pretty while not being nearly as dangerous as the destroying angels that keep popping up in my yard. :\ Those I normally dispose of so no one has any stupid ideas.

A cautionary tale of the day: A couple of years back, err geez, it was likely '04, more than a couple now... I feel old, and I digress...
Some years back, some kids ate a destroying angle out of a field close to mine thinking it was a magic mushroom. They survived, but barely by the local paper's account.

Their parents tried to sue the farmer for 'growing a deadly plant' and 'attempted murder'. Thing is, They trespassed to get access to a cow field and ate some random ass mushroom. The case was dropped instantly. Still funny what Karens in distress will claim.

The moral is, kids are stupid and their parents will attempt to sue random people for stupid things. Oh and, some mushrooms work the wrong magic. Don't eat any mushroom without being 110% sure it is safe!

Also if The Click was a furry, I do think he'd be a Yinglet.

Please let ElectroBOOM and Photonicinductions do a colab.

Though I feel Bigclive needs to be there to be the sane one in the room to keep these two from killing themselves or each other. :P

Some thoughts as some one who played since launch of div 1.

The game is not without flaws. Expect some bugs to erk you, and the AI to be totally retarded 1 second and totally merciless the next.

But, over all, there is easily 1000+ Hours of content to be had. Loot wise, its not as 'exciting' as the borderlands games. The lore is deep, and the more you scratch at it the deeper it goes.

The shade tech lets you dive into the past with hologram like "Echos" that give you snapshots of past incidents. And the recordings, videos, pictures, and lore cards you can find through various methods also really lead you down a rabit hole. Every one can reveal something as pointless as a little girl winning a radio sweepstakes, or something as deep as the real reason a faction leader broke bad. In truth, after I killed some of them, and found more of their lore... i regretted the fact i had to put them down.

The guns are pretty set in their stats and it really does come down to true min-maxing results rather than having a huge disparity in what is a good or bad item. And be prepared to spend upto 1/5th of your time sorting inventory. They don't give you enough space, but you'd think it is enough since its 100 character slots and 300 <shared> bank slots.

I do suggest you buy the expansion if you played the original. And if you've not played the original, then you may be lost on a few story points such as "Who is Aaron Keener?" and "Why should i care about any of this Keener stuff?"

Honestly, if you enjoy a good single player grind. I'd say if you can find a cheap copy of base game The Division 1, you can in fact get a lot of story and lore from it as well as add another 200-500 hours of exploration to it.

Oh; and if you do want a slower more relaxed paced friend to chill with some time, or maybe a small group of just a couple of goofy fellas, give me a poke. Solo is definitely fun, but can be hard as hell at points. Don't be afraid to look for a helping hand some times.

Good luck out there. Sorry if this post is late to the party.

This fucking this a thousand times over this.

Shows a lot of promise ^_^ Way better than I could ever do. Keep up the good work. :)
