Seems like they made ED1 harder to rush for stealth - trying it now on OK and fewer containers seem to be open. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Wait, you mean there are ways to complete ED1 WITHOUT hacking the computer?

Alternatively, I can't yet. I'll see soonish.

The truck will always be a unique company - on DW this is more difficult since you can't look across the pier, but this eliminates 4 trucks immediately. To eliminate the trucks based on color, run around looking for open containers. If an open container contains anything OTHER than signs that say "VOTE!" the trucks of that color are not correct. As an example:

The companies are Avalon, Hefty, Omni, and Kranich. Of the 6 possible trucks, 4 of them will be 2 sets of duplicates. Those 4 trucks are immediately eliminated. Out of the two remaining trucks, let's say they are red and blue. If you find a red OR a blue container, you will know if it is correct or incorrect - if there's VOTE signs inside, pick that one, if anything else, pick the other one. On DW, it's easiest to just sprint and look for open containers to eliminate colors, then sprint for the end to tag a truck. based on what you know. It's 100% accurate IF you can get all the information together. Otherwise, take your best guess.

Speaking as someone who was alive in the 80s myself, you know what would be his perfect time capsule safehouse? Something 80s as all poo poo that's been dead and buried long enough that no one has thought about it for nearing twenty years?

A mom and pop video store. That would be perfect for him.

It sounds much more like characters will have personal items/customizations for the singular safehouse.

Yeah. You could do what Shooting Blanks just posted, or go find the computer in one of the warehouses.

If you get to it in stealth, you just hold the button a few times to go through three companies. Of the four possible, whichever isn't on the computer will be the right truck. Only do this if you don't have it down from what you got so far.

The only thing you lose from dying more times than you have resurrectors is having to restart the level and suffering a permanent wound (permanent stat penalty.) So you could've just kept on with a minor stat penalty. you can later remove the permanent stat penalties

Anyway it wasn't a serious suggestion but at the point we've got Jacket, Bodhi and Jimmy randomly throwing the guy from EYE in makes as much sense as anything. Plus he has an excuse for why he can absorb a few thousand gunshots.

Permanent wounds are one of the many ways to get your stats so high they overflow. The easiest being to hit the the Pause key (on your keyboard next to Scroll Lock) and then clicking on the "spend skill point" buttons.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Time for some more Fun From the Secret Thread:

quote:

Look, it's simple.

The secret is not implimented at this time, and you all are just helping Overkill along.

I say that for a simple reason: if you were to hide a secret in the game, and don't want people to easily find it after the initialization method is added to the game, you'd put it where they've already checked, we've brought up and given up on lights so much that chances are if they add something in, the lights may get changed, we've brought up and given up on the diamond heist so much, that again, chances are they'll change something hard to spot there.

This thread at this point isn't solving the secret, it's making the secret.

Last time I did a loud 2A was by sheer accident, we picked a truck at random and slapped the GPS on, then discovered we accidentally hit the correct truck. I say if you're going loud anyway and just want to skip the first day with an ECM rush nail the very first truck no matter what and let the chips fall where they may.
