Advanced the story further to get different flags that could bring him someway (assuming he is a Heaven, again that outfit is totally Beverly Hills..).
There were some points that I thought he could pop out:
- When looking for Ren first timers I went through the longer route asking at souvenirs sellers and gambling characters (normally I would go to the Blue Sky dart player). They tell you about Heaven members standing by arm wrestling at Rooftop Fight and also other spots. There were Heaven lookin' NPCs there but not Gao Ding. I really thought that was a affine flag for this quest.
In fact, my game glitched the passerby loop while doing the part time job in this story part. Loop was Delin, towelhead guy, Delin again, towel... Many many times until the thing did reset to Fortune Pier title screen, and I lost my profits!
Maybe there is fish idk..
- Went through every cutscene, mandatory and optional, where Heavens appear. No Gao Ding.
- When prompted to get $500 for meeting Ren, and finish the day without meeting, there's a cutscene at Wong's boat where he tell us about job at South Carmain Qr. &
Queen St. pachinkos.
I believe the latter is not accesible in other way. And its extremely close to Heaven gang territory.
Miles, I see you listed this Lucky Hit since first second. In my game, this guy never offered me a job but pointed me cargo or other LH, until Wong told about.
- Just in case he is with the real baddies Yellow Heads (?) did optional scenes too, like Man Mo Park at night (Chawan segment), looked for him at the White Dinasty epic QTE too.
Right now I'm at saying goodbye before Kowloon on March 6th. Gonna look another rounds while doing Pine Arcade fights and Duck Races. Then I'll move to look for this guy in Kowloon.
Oh, may I know what made LemonHaze say Gao Ding should be at Fortune Pier or South Carmain? Note that there's Kowloon citizens at Aberdeen and Wan Chai.
Lucky Hit unlocked by Wong:
Han Xuan as passerby at Green Market and South Carmain:
To finish post up, I'm not being lucky at bringin Xuan at Lucky Hit job but as passerby he pops a lot in my game.
Also my game seems to like Zhang Xianghe at LH job, and like I said just once Han and never(!) Dong Yangming.
It has been pointed previously about the randomizer skipping, which may be possible, but Im more prone to think in a very low value for appereance. Almost zero or such.
