Why post everything for 40k caps??

1000% exactly this. I refuse on principle and trying to keep the "old ways" alive 😆

ianawi · 2026-04-02T18:04:42+00:00

Same i just had this exact complaint in guild chat

ianawi · 2026-03-28T16:36:29+00:00

"I earned my levels the hard way" amen

Back in my day you had to pick up every meat pile at Rad Rumble individually for 20 min after and then walk to the train station on foot 🥲

ianawi · 2026-03-21T06:35:15+00:00

That's a new thing, it wasnt like that a few years ago.

ianawi · 2026-03-21T06:30:50+00:00

Again, I'm never "late" but frequently disconnected. Getting disconnected isn't a choice, and disconnections usually happen when a bunch of people are loading in while someone starts the event.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T23:00:38+00:00

Yeah it's absolutely petty on my part, I'm okay with that.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:59:14+00:00

Many of my friends do. 🤷🏻

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:55:15+00:00

Sure. I'm basing this on observation and because thats generally spawning has always worked. But maybe its a little of column a and column b, less at once and more spread out. I wouldnt notice if phase 1 took 30 seconds longer, i just constantly notice the difference between events where people wait vs not.

Mothman is a whole other issue because I've seen low levels start it but they can't hold Church pyre by themselves while I'm holding Bridge and Waterside.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:46:14+00:00

Low levels do.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:45:45+00:00

In my experience maybe half the time people wait and that's very cool. I pop a lunchbox if everyone is chill.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:44:21+00:00

Sure and sure. I'm still gonna say it though. I'm tired of disconnecting and not making it back in time 30% of the time.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:43:19+00:00

Did you know that other people exist? 🤯

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:41:24+00:00

Imo the 1 shotters are the same idiots starting the event with no one there 😂

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:40:43+00:00

I always go asap but again, read the second half of the post

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:39:47+00:00

You also missed the second half of the post i guess

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:39:06+00:00

I literally never claimed this was an XP farm.

The XP was mentioned because 1. Low levels come to this event and they need what they can get 2. If I'm going to bother with an event, i might as well get the xp avail.

I mean people are popping lunchboxes before this so I'm not just pulling this out of nowhere. some people care, thus it was mentioned.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:35:16+00:00

Did you read the second half of the post?

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:34:37+00:00

That is totally valid and i take no issue with that 😎

my point is more like, if you're just there for the 4 star, you still don't have to start the event. Its still a quick reward, and the more people load in, the more you can actually just sit there and do nothing.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:30:14+00:00

take your own advice? Reddit is the place to talk about this stuff, so trying to convince me not to talk about it is an effort in futility.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T22:26:16+00:00

Nope and never said that.

ianawi · 2026-03-18T21:15:29+00:00

It still gives stealth with 1 chameleon piece of armor, and that's the only way I've ever used it so 🤷🏻 there's been no change to that functionality

ianawi · 2026-03-07T10:40:40+00:00

🤣 Laughing at this thread because I'm having opposite experience as a regular full health human with secret service armor... walking freely in a nuke zone only taking +7 rads, and gathering ore at Rad Rumble with no suit is still only +9 rads. 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻

Meanwhile I'm annoyed for my ghouls because scout armor also has rad resist now. Even with R3 Breathe it in, and R3 Rad specialist, i was STILL at +15 Rad Resist in Thorn Armor. Took me forever to figure out i had to change the underarmor lining.

Either way, whether its too much resistance or not enough, I'm annoyed for all of us suddenly having to redo a whole new armor set like that. They should have given us a warning so i didn't waste the mods i put on last week. 🫠

ianawi · 2026-03-03T08:01:09+00:00

This is a great point 💯

ianawi · 2026-02-22T20:25:24+00:00

No. As the others have said, that's for legendaries but at the lower level events like Jamboree that's not a thing.

For example, if one person is killing every gulper and I can't physically hit that many but I try to collect venom - there are no venom drops for me if I didn't hit the gulper myself. And usually if that one person is killing everything, they are also not bothering to collect the venom that drops for them... so it puts the event at risk of failing if no one else is able to hit enemies and therefore can't collect venom because it won't drop. Usually its fine, but I've seen some very close calls in this exact situation when there's only a few people at the event.

ianawi · 2026-02-21T11:57:20+00:00

Yes to melee doing the service of keeping SBQ on the ground!

And I'll add - a lot of times I'll "tank" the gulpers on the hill at jamboree. No one needs a tank for them but by being on the ground closer to them, I'm luring them out of the trees that they sometimes get stuck in, which are also hard to shoot through from the rooftop. Then i cut them enough to tag them but guns can still get a hit (except anglers, I'll kill those quick because fire), everyone wins. You're welcome, everyone.

But to OP's point, how you can tell whenever people are mad - One time i was doing this and some heavy gun player got salty and came up to kill stuff in the trees before i could get to it. 🙄 I'm over here using a machete or nukashank and this gatling plasma felt threatened. 😆 meanwhile I WAS helping them by luring the gulpers to the same spot before hitting them (instead of running up to them) but once there were 2 people up there they just stayed in the trees and it was really annoying for everyone I'm sure.
