Wasteland 2 is looking more awesome by the update

[JeffNY35]

I haven't DL'ed the patch yet. thankfully read the warnings about the GOG version which I have. is it safe to DL yet or should I hold off?

Does it fix the saving bug? I ran into this ( or something ) couple days ago in the prison. I run into some dudes, and after the fight suddenly my save button is greyed and keeps saying you cannot save at this time. I tried moving to another location still a problem.

I reloaded my save before the fight, did the fight again and AGAIN the save bug....

anyone run into this and know if the patch fixed it?

Gog version FTW.

But then you don't get the physical box, media, and other contents. :|

The new patch is fine, but I don't know if it fixes issues if you ran the old patch.

What is up with the super strong weapons the citadel sells after AG/Highpool? I feel like everybody's damage/ap just tripled.

haha exactly. All I had until then was a mildly upgraded sniper rifle and pistols. Now everybody is cranked up to 11 except for still being stuck with the original useless ammo chewing heavy weapon.

Seriously, I used that weapon once and then loaded a saved game because I regretted wasting so many valuable assault rifle bullets.

I've turned on the radio at Highpool but where the hell do I install the repeater units ?

 

[hardhat]

The Radio Tower is at the top of the Dam right above where you were lifted up on the crane to. It is kind of confusing, at first. There are two switches. The one closer to Kate's rival was the crane switch. The one opposite from that past the drop off spot is the Radio Tower switch. Use the repeater on the Radio Tower switch.

Thanks !

I'll try that , this game is testing my patience though. Needs objectives to be marked more clearly and a fast travel button

I'm in AG infected trying to work my way through the fields and got slaughtered........god I love this game; nice old school feel; need for tactics and the fact you need to watch your ammo

 

[Rhezuss]

Game is awesome so far...but i'm not far in...

I'm just trying to get the first repeater unit from the first tower mission...and I get stumped on by that freaking frog in the cave...How the hell do you kill that thing when you're level 2?!!?!?

I've a couple of rangers that can use blunt weapons,very handy for saving ammo,I also try to mix weapons so they all don't use same type of ammo.


I've just finished AG centre ,so far still enjoying the game.

 

[Worthington]

Yup having a mix of weapons with different ammo types is key. .38 ammo is pretty plentiful so a lot of my guys have a point or two in pistols or sub-machine gun to finish people off without having to burn through the higher caliber stuff.

I will say, so far energy weapons blow mad chunks (up to the meson cannon you get from the Req vendor). Hopefully when i start fighting more robots it will shine cause right now my energy specialist is using his shotty more than anything else.

 

[hardhat]

Killing the frog is kind of tough on anything but the rookie difficulty, unless you picked up Angela Deth before the mission. If you have her, just let her tank. If you don't then it is very important to spread your team out before the encounter begins (press space to switch between team and single ranger control) and if you don't have any rangers with decent weapon skill you may have to use an explosive.

Energy weapons get better on higher difficulties because enemies have more armor sooner. You only want to fire an energy weapon at someone whose armor rating is ABOVE the armor threshold of the energy weapon.

 

[Worthington]

yar, I know about the armor thresholds for energy weapons. it just seems like such a counter-intuitive mechanic. Especially when you consider that the energy pistols generally have a lower threshold so for at least the first half of the game the pistols will do more damage than the carbines/rifles as most the people you are fighting have little to no armor.

I will say Final Assessment was brutal against honey badgers though. The sort range was negated by the fact that they came in close to melee and at 3ap a shot i was doing upwards of 100 damage a round with it.

lol I'm mixing my weapons also; most can use blade weapons; the guy I created can use assault; got a sniper; power cell; ..... just not found a lot of ammo in my game LOL......so we get down and dirty

 

[GoodRevrnd]

I picked up a BAR which is pretty awesome and does slightly more damage than the M16 for only double the ammo cost!

I do like this game a lot, but I don't think they did a great job balancing combat, weapons, and character attributes/stats/skills. Still probably more fun than most other games I've played in the last 3 years.

 

[coloumb]

I too have noticed energy weapons are "meh"...and the ammo is just too damn heavy when compared to other ammo types.

I know I shouldn't be doing this - but I quick save/save before attempting locked items in case of failure. What can I say - I'm a pack rat that needs to know what's inside of EVERYTHING that's locked.

 

[AFurryReptile]

I played right up until the prison (on Ranger difficulty) before realizing my characters and stat allocation was just terrible. I could handle the 10+ groups of guys that the prison was throwing at me.

So I've restarted...

Nothing like cutting the alarm, removing the bomb and then cracking the tumblers on a safe only to find a chew toy and 4 .38 rounds.

I actually kindof like my energy weapon. Herbicide is what it's called. In many situations it is absolutely abysmal, but against heavily armored enemies, and with triple-shot turned on, it just chews right through them.

I also quicksave like every 30 seconds

 

[GoodRevrnd]

I did all the infected mini areas right after AG Center and hadn't upgraded any weapons yet beyond what I found. I would have gotten absolutely smoked without Herbicide.

I'm quite fond of the contact lenses that I got out of a toaster that took 15 minutes to crack.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Most of the toaster items are for little bonus quests though. You just gotta find where to turn them in.

I have the same weapon from the AG center. I turned off triple shot as energy ammo drops weren't happening and I forgot to switch it back on. I'll have to do that... AND pay closer attention to enemy stats.
