I made deadly on that account 11 months ago... Now being so close to elite I have been mat collecting a lot and was hoping to benefit from the 'faster' progress in CZs (more higher rank NPCs) but 8 kills in an hour is not play in my books!

When they un-break whatever the patch broke, I'll come back and play again, till then I think Fallout 4 VR gets a revisit.

Huh, maybe that is why we had SO much fun last night in that CZ and none of us died, not even the noob in his first CZ.

Yea I use the Manticore weapons and one hit from them was taking shields down and another hit was killing. Using the shotgun I one-hit killed a few NPc with full shields and health.

I was half-convinced I landed at a low CZ but it was for sure a high level one.

What is ticking me off most is just how screwed the update is. On my other account I'm 97% Deadly, so have been doing Haz Res BHing and CZs to push those last few %...

,,,signed up for a 32 ship massacre mission last night, jumped into a Med CZ in my Corvette... It normally minces the opposition (bar Spec Ops ships) very quickly, all laser bar 2 rails - nice loadout that has served well... I got 8 kills in an hour as the weapons were just not doing their normal damage - I just abandoned the mission and handed in less than 3 mill in bonds.

I won't be doing any further play for a while... They also screwed stealing mission cargo... Made changes to stuff (now all downloads are illegal!) for the sake of it, even if illogical! I guess that is one way to stop the compaints - get everyone to stop playing the DLC!

I've not downloaded it yet and won't be able to play until the weekend so reserving judgement until then but that's annoying about the weapons.

I'm in a similar position to you, trying to get my deadly cmdr to elite by doing ship to ship combat (although it's taken me 7 years).

I'm not bothered about all the settlement stuff as I've not visited one on foot (since I had to partly go through that FPS mission when odyssey came out - just not my thing) so thought I was immune to all the negative recent updates and just experienced light irritation at other elements.

Yep... The damage control team are busy in the update thread - I no longer have posting rights there!

That's such a shame, you've been a voice of balance and reason in that thread between the Sally-hasslers and doomists.

The settleement & on-foot combat is quite a lot of fun - CZs AI has been set to just the right difficulty in my opinion (I haven't done a ground CZ yesterday / today - but it sounds as if they have been neutered a bit too) and the Scavs and other pirates outside of CZs can be surprisingly good too!

I'd guess the weapons will get fixed fast - one-shotting a Thargoid Cyclops is not intended gameplay, nor is G5 engineered weapons doing the same damage as stock!

The rest of the broken stuff? Who knows - but while there is so much amiss since update 7 a lot of fun has been removed with it.

At the CZ I did late last night it felt a lot more atmospheric day I say immersive with more NPC audio and explosions. Sadly I didn't see any overhead ship pew pew but what I saw on the ground was good and hopefully, they patch the issues soon.

It is amusing to think that there are people out there furious that a game they play doesn't work the way it want it to.

Dude, that thread about "please stop FD" or whatever escalated quickly! We should invite Sally in with a Phil Mitchell explosion, to cheer her up!

Fury at weird stuff is a fantastic spectator sport!

I am tempted to look into this h do you mean things like the orientation of a new street sign or such?

I could really get into those kind of sports, especially if I don't live anywhere near the place in turmoil, over whether the kerbstone is the wrong colour of grey!

Locally there is a village called "Well End" which has a B added over the W every few years and the local kids get the blame. Kids* have been doing it for years and every time a new resident spots it they go ballistic. :D

*it's opposite a pub

Also Toastergate made the local newspaper.

Surprised the opportunity was not taken to report that the resident was "browned" off - or that police were following "a lead"

Wow, I noted for myself that nothing changed it still runs like molasses, but I see round.. 7? of the all out war is now on. I mean I was not holding back most of the time, but this is even too much for me at places :D

Yes - the Hard Points are certainly out now. Thankfully, Sally's properly equipped with Reinforced Shields and military bulkheads. Meanwhile, the mods are flying SLFs taking out everyone who crosses the line.
