Why were the spoiler tags removed from the last one? I put those there so that it wouldn't be so long..

[Admiral Donutz]

The tags seem to be there but they did not execute... I will see if I can get them to work (hadn't noticed them since I only copy / pasted this from a text document which was sent to me).

that's weird, the spoiler tags seem to have a problem today.

[Admiral Donutz]

The spoilers didn't cooperate (it kept auto splitting spoilers into two parts where you would need only one...). I did a reset on the entire posts layout/style and manually added the bold, underlined and coloured text and spoilers again. The post looks alright to me now.

I some questions: * What is the purpose of the Blowouts? I see more mutants after it, is that all they do? * I cleared out Pripyat of all the mercs and enemies, now when I re-enter after doing other missions no one is there with the exception of a few controllers. Will more enemies enemies respawn? I waited over 20 game hours, sleeping, through 2 blowouts and nothing seemed to change. * Maybe this won't get answered, but I'm going nuts trying to find that Kriss or Minigun unique weapons. I've found the easy ones like Benelli short, TMP, MG3, etc but is there really a Kriss or Minigun laying around? Thank you.

Well the blowouts spawn more chaos, change positions of anomalies and sometimes "make" more of em, the blowout strength actually increases as you get closer to the NPP so it adds a gameplay element of survival but beyond that its more of an immersion thing and imo is just really cool to experience, it can get in the way though when youve finished the game and your making new artifacts which means sleeping alot and you keep getting woken up by the blowouts, youd think one would get use to them, it would be like rain in the zone.

Im not sure how youve cleared all of pripyat but kudos, yea the enemies will respawn but generally its prefered that you leave the level and return a little later rather then sleeping IN the level and waiting for 1000 people to just show up while you were sleeping.

Youve asked this before and we asked what version of OL are you using and you havent told us yet. In OL2.2 the kriss can now be taken of dead bodies quite often in the strelok hideout, after youve climbed up into the "hidden" room the game spawns quite a bit of military guys and almost all of em have a kriss. The minigun has been reported in the NPP, in one of the first few traincars you see when you take a left and go along the side of the NPP. Someone really ought to post the screens. But since youre so desperate to find them why not just add them to the barkeep and BUY them. Its really easy. I even know a line which puts it straight into your inventory.

Sry cant edit, but ive been writting a response to someone and needed to grab the "How to edit trader files" link and it appears to be incorrect, it leads to a "Page not found". We need to fix that.
