Request for video for Vent on the Roof AND DTD on first guard
Hi,

The title says it all. Here's a longer explanation of my request: http://deusex.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk%3AExperience_by_area_%28DX3%29&action=historysubmit&diff=28551&oldid=28540

Thanks! David Latapie (✒ | @) 01:48, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Need help with later sections?
Have you started Hengsha hub yet?

I'm asking because I want to replay Hengsha, but if you're already on it I will work on later levels instead, so we do not interfere with each other. I'll have to redo a few levels (Singapore, Hengsha #2, Panchea) to check for missed DTD anyway -- I might write a full guide as well.


 * Whoever that was: Hengsha is almost completed, I only need to get it on the wiki. Should happen in the next 2 days. You should consider writing Picus or later at this point.
 * OK then. I'm working on Singapore now, should start Picus tomorrow. (that was me above) Gyronium 15:03, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Closing hacked safes in Detroit
I think we potentially missed a lot of XP.

Here is the trick: on first visit to Detroit close every safe you've hacked. On second visit safe will be hackable again for the same XP. If its indeed so, then there may be +2000 XP to farm in Detroit.

I haven't tested this properly, but I remember accidentally closing Greg Thorpe's safe -- and on second visit it was locked and hackable again. Not sure about closing hacked doors, but this works 100% on computers (though they re-lock automatically).

Thorpe's safe resets when triggering the quest by reading the email. Don't know if other safes relock depending on closed state but I also heard of this rumor and closed them all (I think). I'm not on my second visit yet, though Santaranger 15:22, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

I meant hacking Thorpe's safe on 2nd visit to Detroit in addition to previous two times on 1st visit -- i.e. I've hacked it for a 3rd time at that point.

BTW Have you closed the hacked doors? And have you tried to do the same in Hengsha? Though I know computers do not reset there, so safe shouldn't re-lock too. Gyronium 15:37, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Experience and Enemies by area are finished
Experience by area (DX3) page is finished. I proofread it 3 times and, I think, got rid of most of the errors. It was fun to write, I must say -- thanks to your groundwork. Any further ideas on what to add or change?

And what about your video walkthrough? Will you update Detroit and add later sections? Because if not it doesn't make much sense to have these videos on page.

Enemies by area (DX3) page is up too. Right now it's in a bare-bones state: I've just copied enemy info and combat XP from the Experience page, plus added a few tactical advices. I don't know if I have a patience to explain every single DTD out of 166 :P

 * Good work, I'll leave it up to you to make further changes. I will finish my playthrough with a printout of the page to check everything, but I doubt I'll find any additions. I'm also kind of running tired of turning every stone after 160 hours of gameplay, especially with all the other cool games out there (I grabbed Metro 2033 during the deal for €2.50).

 * Well, I think I'm done with DXHR too, there is little point replaying it now.
 * Oh and don't forget to post your final XP score -- I'm interested to know how much XP it is possible to get without bothering about DTD too much :) Gyronium 19:57, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
