Welp. Appears the new patch only had 3 quests in it. So much for that. While I was searching for the two quest items you need to find I started finding new stuff I hadn't seen before, so I got mildly excited that maybe there would be new quest lines and crafting. Nope. Least, not this...

Went into Stella Montis. Oddly, my spawn put me right on top of 2 other people, which is concerning. Fortunately it was solos and people were more interested in helping each other out and exploring than shooting each other so I survived spawning in. The new map is, as said above, an...

I have a sneaking suspicion that in their minds there are 'pvp guns' and 'pve guns' and they are not only balancing them with regards to pvp ttk, etc etc, but also trying to have a separation of what people use for pvp and what people use for pve. Most people seem to think the purple guns are...

Is this the one where they were all suing each other because Horizon Zero Dawn's people told the CN company to fuck off, or is this a different release? Just looked it up. That is 'Light of Motiram'. Makes a lil more sense why they rejected Tencent's offer if they were already doing deals...

So new patch dropped. They are 'unlocking' the new zone and promising new enemy types (two if I read the patch notes right, Matriarch and Shredder). However, they locked the new zone behind a 'community' project where we all have to donate a fucktonne of basic materials until we gather up...

I find it funny that everyone is all 'Game of the Year'. Maybe for this year, but by next year I'm curious how many people will still be playing.

Yeah. People have posted getting it in game and the shown the recipe. They could be lying of course, but I don't believe so.

Bettina, Anvil, Venator, Osprey (oh god the ospreys recently) and Torrenti for guns. I rarely see an Il Toro BP. I got the gun parts and those seem decently common. Supposedly depends on what you open, but I make a habit of opening all the drawers and lockers I can but yeah. There needs to...

I truthfully don't think you are missing much in the long run. I expect this game to burn brightly and then burn out. Unless they really keep up a good content release schedule the game quickly devolves into a 'well, what now?' bit where farming materials and guns is easy, especially with the...

If you can, save stacks of the high end trinkets cause the last stage of the expedition is to donate so much monetary value from each 'class' of item to the expedition. IIRC, its Weapons, Augments/shields/quick items, trinkets/nature/blueprints, and crafting material as the 4 categories.

I have 1 rusted gear. Was saving it for my friend but I think he's moved to another game. As to the hidden bunker, I was hoping it rotated, but the one time I got to it and it seems for you as well it was in the same place. To the SW of the map. On a night map you can actually look down...

Yeah. Seen Volcanic rocks a few times. On the SPaceport night map, w/sw of it (I'll get a more precise location later) there is a door to a bunker and if you go on top the mound you can look down in cause the roof is partly damaged. Haven't figured out how to get inside atm. I /think/ that...

Also coming to add that the late spawn in mechanic needs review. I'm now to the point of exploring for puzzles and hidden shit (looking for the underground bunker in spaceport currently.) and spawning in late pretty much means the sortie was pointless. Having half the map time already elapsed...

My new hot take with this game is the blueprint system seriously needs a review. I am at 100hrs in the game and I'm doing runs of raider caches, bags, grenade tubes, and security lockers and I have never seen a wolfpack blueprint. Wolfpacks trivialize a number of the 'mini bosses' like the...

I have heard some discussion back and forth on other forums on if doing the Expedition gave in game advantages wrt to skills or not, can confirm you can get up to 5 bonus skill points depending on value of the loot you have at the start of the expedition. No idea what that number scale looks...
