El Capitan Delivery Times are Horrible

[JoseRodriguez]

Most of them are impossible.

El Capitan is just using it as an excuse to klep some of your payout. ;-)

If you keep doing more you should see that a lot of the timers are literally impossible by a LARGE margin.

I think like 2/6 I did had timers that where close to the realm of possible, but the majority were actually impossible.

Just relax about it.

It's frustrating that CDPR didn't do their due diligence in making reasonable timers though, especially when they didn't correct it in the patch they put out. It's also made especially irksome because he talks SO MUCH ♥♥♥♥ about you when you don't make the timer.

The 10 or so timed ones I did last playthrough were easy with a netrunner on normal.

The time limits are obnoxious, but it's compounded because of a bug disabling the Sandevistan on top of it. I figure it's a bug, because I got it working again by getting out of the car and getting back in. I did this during one of the combat based ones, but the time limits don't really leave enough time to do that.

There is an addon for this but, yeah. 2.0 and PL messed a lot up. I love this game and I always will but, I sometimes wonder if we were better off without this, and instead, them working hard on the sequel. Maybe we'd get the sequel 2 years sooner without PL.

Just like the Razor Hughes fight (amongst other things), CPR is great at world building and ideas, but sucks hard on the details. They clearly have a shortage of talent to actually fine-tune mechanics.

It's always fun when the vehicle is a bulky Militech van and you get both a time limit objective and a "good condition" objective with busy traffic in the way.

At least they're optional objectives, and failing them doesn't result it it *not* giving you another autofixer discount modifier etc. But some of the objective and objective combinations are just silly.

Like 50% more.

But yeah, anyone reloading to get a "better" delivery mission is insane. Don't do that and waste your time. Like wtf. Drop the car off, get the credit for delivery and move on to the next... they are infinite and the biggest reward is the discount from the car shop which you get anyway.

Can confirm that the timers get harder and harder the more cars you klep for El Capitan. I did about 60 deliveries already and it gets to a point where you have like 48 seconds to travel 3.5 km which is physically impossible even if I had gas on the floor in a Quadra the entire time while traveling on a straight line.

Bonus "dev" points to CDPR if a limit like this spawns for armored cars that won't go more than ~100 mph.

Not a huge deal since you only miss out on some eddies, but this was definitely not play-tested enough before release (or ever).

There is a mod to fix this

Nice, but players shouldn't rely on modders for the game to be fixed. Old fashioned, I know...

I'd rather they scrap the time limit and maybe set a threshold for damage to the vehicle there must be some dmg variable they can check on delivery.

I would go for this is a heartbeat. Very 'Gone in 60 Seconds.'

Right and it makes more sense I mean you steal a vehicle for someone and they're like "well I'm leaving town in exactly 50 seconds you better hurry up!" lol in what world would that make any sense where getting a quality product in good condition would make sense.

Agreed. I got one the other day where I had like 1.5 minutes to go 2.5 clicks in a slow-ass truck. They're just terrible.

I like the IDEA of these missions, they're fun in and of themselves, but the time limits are idiotic.

[Kingsleaze]

I've done 4 or 5 and made it with about 10 seconds left on the clock. I figured it was supposed to be hard. Its optional anyways and you don't lose anything by failing except a few minutes of your time...which is nowhere near as precious as some of you think it is if you're wasting it playing games like we all are.
