[QUOTE=EvilMattress;48807703]Can't you just direct contract like all of your staff to stop them from getting stolen? Or is that not how it works[/QUOTE] You can only DC like 10%ish of total staff I forget the actual rule. I've got like 1400 people and 140 is all I got for it. It makes it so they can't get captured, deployed, killed or moved by auto assign. It's basically what you said, but you have to pick a handful. [editline]2nd October 2015[/editline] I mostly reserve it for S+ and higher, as well as most one of a kind skills

That could be what the nukes are for though. Some people enjoy the FOBs, so if you wanted to do more of it, or knew you had a good group of players protecting you, you could build a nuke to get some easy GMP/resources. FOBs aren't actually that bad if you have a few people covering you, since between 3-4 people you'll be covering each other most of the time.

It also takes 50k heroism away and instantly transforms you into demon snake. Meanwhile I get money and 1k heroism, an accomplished feeling and a permanent disarmament count online for every nuke I steal and destroy. Sounds like a better deal to me. There is however a collective dedicated to building them for the fuck of it/to be dicks /r/metalgearpatriots And their opposite /r/metalgearphilanthropy They have an emblem thing going on, apparently if you put philanthropy as a word in your emblem the people that are in on it don't invade. I found all this out tonight noticing a lot of "philanthropy" shit at a base I was invading, ended up adding him and asking about it

Maybe he just wanted to make a fun little AR war game for us. I'd say he succeeded. I'm seeing the philanthropy emblem a lot now that I know to look for it, and it was fun to feel like I'd stuck it to a collective of real players being ingame villains when I destroyed the nukes [editline]2nd October 2015[/editline] Honestly I think it's something konami should've came up with

Technically they did since there's apparently a secret cutscenes you can find by modding that's supposed to play when the nukes are all dismantled online

we got a human sized box at work tonight, so everybody took turns crouching in it with the toy silenced pistol we just happen to have lying around. [editline]2nd October 2015[/editline] also how do you beat volgin, its hard as fuck to control the 2ds version this seems super hard

Idk if you guys know yet, but we apparently get some "special" reward on the 13th if we are supporting 10+ FOB's and if we can get to the core of rival FOB's 5 times. I bet all the rewards will just be more MB coins or materials.

thats a pretty fucking lame reward

So do we know what's happening on the 6th for FOBs? It says there's going to be a patch that makes things more exciting, but I'm kind of scared of what they're planning. I'm just hoping Gamefly sends me my copy for PS4 by the 6th so I can play MGO :v:

A+ staff? Pass.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;48808178]I can almost imagine FOBs allowing for multiple invaders and defenders in an MGO setup, but well, i had lots of hopes before release in the first place so i should probably temper them now[/QUOTE] God, multiple defenders would be terrifying to come across.

Maybe it's anti-cheat.

For anyone on PS4 there's a Community for Facepunch players specifically for MGSV and MGO. Add me (Departing) or Taggart250 for an invite. (Or just reply to this with your PSN) If you check Discover Communities > Friends Communities, you might see it there as well if you're friends with anyone who has joined.

let's rumble you little shit [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/382035537283083540/200096A9B109BFC1A79205CBEA6CAD393B96E51F/[/t]

I just started playing online, just to get more room for personnel. What are some good settings for your FOB? So far it is on higherst alert level, with all support items/uavs and Personnel there is set to lethal with mid range.

If you mean the one with shagohod, just shoot the treads with an rpg

Someone knows if is possible to trigger the birthday scene before the day comes (like going offline, then changing the clock of your system)? I would like to mod it.

[QUOTE=Maestro Fenix;48808817]Someone knows if is possible to trigger the birthday scene before the day comes (like going offline, then changing the clock of your system)? I would like to mod it.[/QUOTE] Can't you play Prologue again and just change your dates?

[QUOTE=elowin;48808786]non-lethal short range[/QUOTE] But.. I went up against FOBs like that before and I can just shake myself up so I can't be captured.

No codex conversations? No medical and tech advice? Even Revengeance had codex wtf

[QUOTE=hakimhakim;48808935]No codex conversations? No medical and tech advice? Even Revengeance had codex wtf[/QUOTE] I don't think any MGS has ever had conversations about codex's

[QUOTE=hakimhakim;48808935]No codex conversations? No medical and tech advice? Even Revengeance had codex wtf[/QUOTE] They did the same in Peace Walker, but yeah I miss Codec/Radio, too. I guess it was to explain away that Snake does minute-long conversations when he's in the middle of a battlefield, but that was something that really didn't need removal. Cassette tapes are fine, but they should've been used in [B]addition[/B] to Codec.
