Gotcha. I'm pretty sure that auto-truced event had nothing to do with what happened to your rep/fame/hero points. - these things are only changed in an actual live combat.


hmmm...so why would I have lost hero status?  Just not enough activity or something?  I scout there pretty much daily, and had just a bit before that.

I'm just confused I guess...


Er sorry.. yes, I should have said. Unless you use them up, hero points dissipate on their own. Specifically, this happens once per week, at the Friday morning update. I think this is probably what you were seeing.

I think there's something weird going on with my rep...

Earlier today I was liked by the Evan Reds.... ( at least I think I was ), as well as appreciated by the Death Race Mafia...


I'm not neutral to both of them, yet I've only been hunting Anarchists.... and mutants

Am I missing something here?

I don't understand the rhyme or reason of the faction inter-relationships at all.

I have been trying for months to cultivate a good enough relationship with the mutants to eventually join this faction.

After carefully avoiding as many mutant killing scouts as I could, I finally got my relationship with them from 'unappreciated' up to 'neutral' after the recent weekly reset.

Since then, I've only gone on 3 scouts, all against 'raiders' who are ostensibly enemies of the mutants..

I've done 4 couriers, 3 against anarchists/privateers/raiders and one against a mutant gang, 'warthog', but in all of these I ran away successfully and none of the npc gangers took any damage (other than superficial armor damage while chasing me).

And yet somehow my relationship today is back to "unappreciated" again??

I suspect I'll have to start actively hunting civs or merchants if I ever want to actually be friends with the mutants someday, but in the meantime, how am I ever supposed to keep off their bad list when it seems that no matter who I encounter, even their Enemies, causes them to distrust me?

Something just isn't right.

Edit:  Is it possible that the courier missions I am accepting from the towns is pissing off the mutants?  That doesn't make sense to me either, but I can't think of anything else that could be causing this animosity.

I'm pretty sure that's what it is

When i was running cargo to shantiville i would get a boost to rep with the mutants and the merchants in texan didn't apreciate it, think my trep with them whent down a bit, actually don't remember maybe it was the mutants not liking me runing stuff to TX..

anyways the best way to raise rep with a faction is to bring them goods, and or mission taxi etc

Okay so..

If I want to increase mutant faction, should I run more couriers (or exclusive couriers) from Badlands to Shanty and Texan to Shanty or..  from Shanty to those towns.. or all of the above?

Neither the courier missions nor the message board in the taverns say who the missions are from, so I'm not sure how to key in on those ones that would make the mutants happy rather than just upset them again.

The missions are always from the town you accept them from...
Also, it makes good sense for the missions to impact your standing, when you run courier missions, you are often helping said towns out, by extension, helping the factions that run the towns, that's how I see it anyway, not that I ever did any courier missions...

Okay, I think I have a better idea now.. will give this a try and see if it works.

Thanks for the advice, both of you.  :D

I was always advertising for missions from BL or TX towards Shanty, and
did the occasional escort/courier missions if they could be added to my regular lorry hauls

Hmmm, not sure if this is a bug, but my global fame is reaching Renowned at some points and then jumps back to Well known usually by the next day. This week at friday roll over, my fame stayed at renowned but now today (Saturday morning) its back to well know again and I don't think I did anything to warrant a Fame drop. Not sure why this is happening.

I did beat up on merchants a bit, could this be the reason? Am I just not scouting often enough? Does my breath stink?

I've been hitting the raiders all week and they have gone from unappreciative to appreciating me.

In the mean time, my rep with Civs and Merchants has continued to decline. I am with the mutants, so I am use to seeing my standing with civs in particular drop sharply at the weekly update, but so far this week it has just continued to decline despite my best efforts to restore it. I've even spent all my HP's on getting a better standing with civs, to no visible effect.

There was no bounty on me at the start of the week, and I did hit the civs just once (by accident, sorta) a few days ago. I didn't get any bounty on me after that event, but since then I have had an SS bounty slowly growing, even though I have only hit raiders since then.

I have run a few travels with no encounters around elms/ SS area, and in the last few days I've been running around down south in unarmed travel vehicles, with no scout skill to speak of, and no encounters.

No failed missions, although I did move a bit of mail for SS and elms residents this week.

My rep in SS is still slipping, my bounty is still increasing. I'm not particularly concerned, just very curious as to why this would be the case. I brought this up in another thread but haven't had any response. What is going on?

** Just to be perfectly clear, I am not at any disadvantage, I'm not complaining, and don't even necessarily think this is a bug. But it is highly unusual based on my previous experience and I'm curious as to what might be the cause.

Any ideas?
