Gang attacks are annoying

[fastica]

I had 20 minutes to try the metro system (I'm a busy man) but I couldn't get to the station as I got attacked two times. Are there any way to drive without gang attacks? It's really annoying.

I welcome every gang battle with open arms. Always need tons of money for implants and upgrades. The enemy weapon loot drops is like the best income in this game. Tbh allot of gigs pay ♥♥♥♥ the loot from killed enemies is the real pay off. Before this I would have to roam around trying to find some enemies to kill. Now they come to me :)

I dunno, i just shoot them and take their stuff.

Yes, they're not exactly difficult to deal with. But they're annoying, and they damage my ride. So it would be nice to be able to turn them off.

Fair enough, but as mentioned before: If you kill all potential witnesses in your gigs, how do they know it was you?

Also, if they want to take revenge, I would realy have rpefered them doing it in some sort of quest-line. Like you are treated as the Night city equivalent to Archangel, and the gangs band together to kil you because you are too much for one gang to take on allone...

I mean, sure, I try to leave no witness alive, but after 3000 kills... its not hard to imagine I misses one here and there.

The VDBs come explicitly to take revenge for Placide and Brigit. Heh. Yeah, there should be more then enough people we knew I was in their cave.
Now the Tygers are apparently send by a 'Nitta'. Honestly no idea who that might be, but maybe I'll find out.

Well as to that, since I tend to disable cameras and kill everyone who spots me, they shouldn't know who to take revenge on in the first place. But I guess that's too much logic for a video game...

You get a bounty from NCPD for every ganger you take out.
The NCPD commissioner is as corrupt as sin and works with gangers on a regular basis.
If NCPD knows where to send the money, the gangs know who took out their guys.

Btw, you can also fast travel to the metro entrances, save having to drive/run to one

But I like to drive to places. It's a shame I can't drive peacefully anymore.

Same

I am switching to fast travel most often now

I went back to the game for the same reason.. The game cloud wont save my save files.. For months i was trying to figure out how to fix this.. I lost some progress as well. And now these random gang attacks... I wouldn't have minded them too much but they appear waay too often. Cops are really annoying to escape from as well due to their spawnrate.. And then there is the vehicle handling which is still awfully bad.

I was fully prepared to replay the story..And i started a new character actually but these gang attacks and the cops made me reconsider.. This update is pretty much 3 steps forward , 2 steps back.

Can I opt out of this, please?

Maybe some one with more smarts than me might come along and make a mod which balances with some sort of notoriety e.g botched jobs

dude just kill them and move on

It's really overtuned for new players and kinda ruins the experience. I've got a friend that is trying cyberpunk with this patch and it's making his experience miserable, getting attacked by maestrom every 10 minutes just because he followed the questline. They pretty much 2 shot him at his level...

I suppose this was an attempt to make weaponized vehicles appealing since, otherwise, they're fairly useless. Granted MG-only vehicles are still kinda bad because the guns are fixed forward, and enemies typically attack from the side and rear.

Would've preferred something similar to cyberpsycho hunts, but oriented around vehicles. Go to a place, find a convoy of something(corpo goods maybe?), raid it. Have it fast-moving so weaponized vehicles feel nice. Basically something inspired by the basilisk acquisition quest for the nomads, but more mobile: maybe a central transport escorted by a few other cars, and you gotta loot something out of the central transport.

Agreed, combined with the fps drops, this update might as well have made the game unplayable.

Yo, I just started playing this game and these gang attacks are completely ruining it. All I can do is run and hope I get away. I usually don't, or end up with cops on me. I'm brand new and stand no chance against them, they just obliterate me.

Same. On my new playthrough, I am level 12 or 13, and whenever I am driving to a quest marker, I get ambushed and die. Or it becomes way too inconvenient and I survive, but I'm then down a bunch of ammo

Should be able to drive an unassuming vehicle and have some kind of stealth rewards when driving

The thing is, if I need to kill them and move on everytime I want to drive somewhere, it gets annoying. There's a reason RPGs don't use random encounters anymore.
