Title: Last Two Skills
Post by: tms777 on June 02, 2018, 12:47:57 pm
So far I have Morse Code, Cooking, Phone Book, Hacker, First Aid, and Science. The other day I went to the game and received a message saying that there’s an update to a call but does that mean that the other two skills are available now? I do not have the beta currently, btw.

I’m waiting for this too ...

So, I found a clue. In the very first “fake” call, if you send police, they end up fighting a bear. You can advise the caller to help, then have an option BE A HERO. When selected, I’m told a skill is required. What could this be?

No matter what you do in the fake call you don’t get scored.

Well, no, but the score isn’t the part I found curious, it was the skill block. I’m missing the same two as everyone, but what skill inspires people? It seems like encouraging the fake caller and getting the neighbor to talk to the bookclub would be overlapping skills.

Sidebar, just replayed the Morse code call for the first time since gaining the hacker skill. Veeeeerrrry interesting.

You do not need a skill for the fake call. Where did you notice that you needed a skill in the fake call?

You're definitely on the right track Mostlyanon! I'm working on the last few bugs with that skill now - turns out there was a bug in how you get to the path to first learn the skill AND I have to fix a few more issues that occur in that storyline, some of the story branches don't wind up in the right places, but getting it all on track. I'm glad the Morse Code rewrite and rebalance is working better - the hacker skill/storyline is CRUCIAL. 

Keep all the feedback and thoughts coming! I'm *hoping* to have these skill fixes in an update out before the end of this weekend!

\o/ I am having a blast with how the hacking works. Morse is mind blowing.

Her, you have to send a police unit, then tell the caller to intervene. I’m pretty sure that gets you to the skill block. I’ll double check on my next replay, aka later tonight. I’m questing to try and 5 star all calls plus send all three resources to find out how they change things. Needless to say, I restart fairly often.

My cat wants to know what’s up with the cats call.

I love the cats call ... the police are the only ones who see the cats and you can get 5 stars without using any resources

I’m going to restart now to see if I got the block

Did you find it? I’m curious to know what you think. I keep referring to the two missing skills as Inspirational Speech and 10 Codes. I can’t figure out likely calls to give you those skills... Seems like 10 Codes could come from either the Ambulance in distress or possibly Frozen, who mentions working for Joindispatch at one point. Hmm. I’m going to go replay Frozen and see what’s up.

I still can’t find them.

It's probably martial arts

That’s a guess or the truth

Hey, Alpha, I’ve been replaying that first call, but cannot figure out the combo to get Martial Arts. Could you give me a few more details? Did you encounter the bear by using the trophy or by sending police? I appreciate anything you can tell me.

Hey guys! First post here but I think I know what one of the unknown skills here is. I've been doing some online digging and found either a review or a forum post that said you can learn "skills such as morse code and communication." I haven't been able to find it again, but that skill seems to correspond to the skill blocks in the noise complaint call, where we can't tell the guy to go talk to his neighbor, and the paramedic request.

Another thing, something I noticed on my 3rd shift so far--for the bear simulation call, I had always called the police and told the man not to intervene. When I checked my employee file in the VSX Terminal thing, my path was "Optimist."

For my most recent shift, I didn't use any resources but told him to keep his adrenaline up, use the trophy as a weapon, and then play dead after he attacks the bear. This shift, my employee file showed "Path: Aggression" (not sure if that was the exact phrase--forgot to write down) and that I had instructed him to attack with an object. Here's the thing: this runthrough, I largely repeated the same answers but sometimes got different results or responses. I wasn't paying attention well because I was tired (lol) but I'm going to try and recreate this on my next shift. I think that how you play the initial simulation unlocks slightly different versions of the rest of the calls, and perhaps the last two skills can only be unlocked by very specific initial choices.

edit: to clarify, I think one of the missing skills is titled "Communication"

I think he’s just making it up, but if not, get me in on it too!

I was able to get the morse code skill from the call where the caller asks if you know how to hack. If you say no, they will give you the skill. If you say yes, you just hack the system like before. Still have not gotten the communication skill for the noise complaint and for the call for backup.
