One thing that helped me a lot in the dlc was realising it is best to dodgeroll towards fire/frostclaws when they lunge at you. you end up rolling between their legs and get positioned behind them to shock their asses. Nowadays i have multiple sets of the dlc mods, so i can have a nora protector outfit with max melee and fire or frost resistance, like it was made for wrestling with bears.

so loving stoked for this game. Wont play until the 26th february, after my monthly income and an exam. Until then it is radio silence for all things horizon. Except for maybe technical reviews, how it performs on a base ps4.

Time to dust off again, but have never changed the paste before, i guess i will see how loud it is after dusting before taking that step. From video guides it is a tad bit more complicated than just accessing the fan and its surroindings. Thanks for the link to the performance review! I can live with what was described, so im going to go ahead and play it on my ps4. Not in a hurry for a PS5, and beside its scarcity, in the short term HFW is really the only game i want it for, doesnt really justify the cost when the PS4 from what ive read seems good enough.

Well, was paranoid about PS4 performance but aside for occassional pop-ins it is seamless enough for me, runs great and steady! Feels even smother than HZD. Have been procrastinating skill point distribuition so i have like 40 points (lvl 15). What set of skills were most helpful for you early on? Cant wait to encounter more new machines, absolute coolest so far is the Skydrifter, basal avialans is where its at!

exquisite tea posted:Everything in the Hunter tree, max out the Powershot valor surge, enough points in Infiltration for Braced Shot, enough points in melee for Resonator Blasts. Thanks! Just got to Plainsong and what i didnt miss from HZD was hunting all the drat animals for ammo capacity. And im guessing some animals are specific to the different biomes/sections of the map? I am at a point in the game where blue weapons are starting to show up. In HZD the gap from where you got blue weapons and the first purples could be short. Is it similar in HFW? Just to gauge how much to spend on upgrades. But either way it is time to replace the basic bows in my loadout, time to shop around. Machine strike is fun, only done 2/3 of the beginners so i still have sets and strategy to really figure out. Falukorv fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Feb 26, 2022 |

Wait you need pristine skulls for trading things other than shards? (regarding a post made in previous page) I kinda wished there were less weapons of the same types, just makes me vacillant and it is one of the few aspects i preferred in HZD. I am at a point in the game where purple weapons just started showing up and starting to wonder what purple hunter and sharpshots i will be shooting for.

A bit of an oversight that they state you can only sell for shards. Machine/processing blocks(?) can also be traded but they write as much. Have been sleeping on the new non-bow projectile weapons, any faves? Will be trying shredder and spikecaster first, they look cool. Im more or less mid-game or early midgame so soon time to shop up for purples. I do wish the options for same weapon type in a tier were reduced for the sake of my indecision, until the legendary tier narrows it down. In HZD the choices were clearer which i kind of miss. Mileage may vary but what mid-game purple weapons of each category would you vouch for? Falukorv fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 2, 2022 |

What are your favorite weapon loadouts? after roughin it a while with blue tier weapons i have gotten a decent collection of purples and legendaries. for advanced elemental arrows do you find that the volatile sludge is enough? The sun scourge and death seeker hunter bows between them have way better and less redudant element coverage than if only purples would fill th same role, but to easy to get stingy. Edit: Currently ive equipped the marshal, death seeker shadow, sun scourge, glowblast sharpshot and corrosive blastsling which i think covers alot of ground. plus a sixth slot for heavy stuff, for the moment slotted by the vindicator spikethrower. Up until this moment ive had blue tier stuff equipped so can finally bring in more hurt. Need to sort out some coils though, have completely neglected and procrastinated coil management and have a bunch amassed. Falukorv fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Mar 7, 2022 |

Pretty much everything is weak to at least one of those elements, and there's plenty of raw damage in the last two. Forgefall got disgustingly good with a few +draw speed coils. Seems so! Glad i plowed through the Arena on story difficulty now at mid-game, OP bow and perhaps the best armor. To bad you cant loot the last enemy you kill in a challenge, could have gotten a lot of birds with one stone.

So about to set forth on the last story quest and as you know Aloy foiled Sylens plan and backed him on to her own. But i cant help feel that he might be right. We as the protagonist will prevail with plot armor, but Aloys plan is really really risky for something that stakes the existence of all life on earth. It all hinges on no one in your handful of people dying or stumbling against superpowered humans, anything goes wrong and you lose. edit: where can i find dreadwings? heard that there is a marked site near spinebreak but doesnt appear on my map, maybe it appears post-story? Ive found a unmarked site below those mountains west of the arena just south of the spinosaurus site (appears together with a stormbird). But a bit far from a camp fire sadly. Someone also told me it can appear one in the valley of the fallen near the beach but havent checked for myself. Now the trick is getting an apex, need it for the legendary stealth armor. Oh and i was worried about running out of volatile sludge for my legendaries but the elemental arrow stock because of their effectiveness last awhile and together with the powershot ammo exploit i hardly consume any- Falukorv fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Mar 9, 2022 |

Stealth got alot easier with the winterweave outfit, really noticeable and almost back to HZD-levels of maxed stealth. Would prefer if they hadnt gotten rid of permanent overrides, should at least get it from maxing the machine tree skill instead of getting like 1,5 minutes. You do get permanent overrides with the skills combined with some machine hunter outfit perks but typically pretty late in the game, had the effect of discouraging overriding up to that point while at the same time making specific overrides harder to get. End-game spoilers: Just finished the main story yesterday and I miss having the companions in the bunker, feels so empty now  should Also suprised that beta, sylens and gaia have no dialogue tree post-game. Beta especially, there is tons to talk about. or even Sylens, since Apollo is with us in the base after the finale. I wanted to tell Erik to turn his face to the sun before spearing him, but it would be unlike Aloy perhaps. Felt otherwise a bit rushed at the end, and as of now not relly excited by the wholen nemesis thing. )

Lord Hydronium posted:May I say, gently caress the final challenges in each Arena tier. Now that I'm all kitted out and skilled up from finishing the main story (and dropped the difficulty from VH to Hard about halfway through) the regular ones are much more of a breeze, but then the final challenges give you a fixed loadout of not only weapons, but also armor and skills. I'm probably going to just end up lowering it to story mode to get through those. Same, i plowed through them mid-game set to "story difficulty" because the armors and weapons are so worth it. Shame you dont get loot from the machines though, you go through so many strong machines and would save some hoarding time.

BitBasher posted:Is there anything strange I need to know about Apex Scorcher Hearts? Not only are they not dropping from about 10 scorchers in a row, but the quest, if I make it active, that needs them won't point to the scorcher sites that I have on my map. It just says unknown scorcher site with no waypoint. My map locations are spawning Apex Scorchers, they just aren't dropping hearts. Drop rate of hearts from apex scorcher is supposed to be 51%. You sure that all those killed scorchers were apex variants? If so dont know what else to say, would be either something wrong or really bad luck. I think they dont show on the map because there arent any static/guaranteed apex spawns, but still, where they can appear it will be at those sites. Just finished the melee pit in Thornmarsh and drat do the combo challenges suck. In-game instructions are misleading and i had way better luck following this users modified instructions: https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/122641-the-enduring-fair-warning-on-the-thornmarsh-melee-pit/ As an aside, fireclaw webbing is my least favourite upgrade resource to hunt, please stop asking for it.

Doesnt fast travel cancel it? Thats what i do with powershots to replenish ammo that requires sludge. Havent done most sunkern caves for that reason, the really good weapons dont require it for upgrading. There are some greenshine in cool places only reachable by mount. Like near the top of golden gate bridge, and near hoover dam (just discovered yesterday that hoover dam is in this game). that area is also the best for tideripper farming as there are several.

effervescible posted:Is there any good general advice for knowing when to spend greenshine on upgrades and when not to, if it's a finite resource? Like I haven't used it on the couple of blue tier weapons I've seen call for it, but I'm worried I'll end up in another jrpg scenario where I can't use any of the 999 mega elixirs I've stockpiled because what if I need one later. Use it for weapons you want to keep and upgrade for awhile, at least for those rarer variants of greenshine. It is mostly purple tier weapons that require it. Blue ones to but they mostly require the more common greenshine. For the highest tier weapons (legendary) though it hardly uses greenshine for upgrades. But with the blues and purples i wanted to upgrade i ended up with a surplus of the most common greenshine variants (greenshine fragment, sliver and chunk), while greenshine slabs and clusters were a limiting resource for purple tier weapons. If you create a job the map will mark a location of a required greenshine variant though. Btw does anyone know of a machine site that spawns more than one behemoth at a time?

I’m pretty sure you can cancel power shot with ammo refilled and all your surge intact by either (don’t remember which) activating it for your selected ammo then save and restart from save OR fast travel. Think it was the former, worked to refill all my sludge advance elementals.

Same, did that poo poo on story and cant imagine the frustration of the last challenge on anything beyond easy/normal because you just get absolutely no respite between a giant and a fast hell-dog. Not my favourite way to fight machines but was worth plowing though on reduced difficulty for the OP gear.

Mid-tier Glinthawks/skydrifters with a supporting sunwing or a couple leaplashers seems like it can take out anything in machine strike. Keep a nice formation, bait and delay, keep high ground and just exploit mistakes. Flying machines are OP. Need to get me a stormbird though for my bird themed sets. And yeah outfits skills are insane now that I have fully upgraded the thunderwarrior, winter weave and tactician. Especially the latter with machine tree skills, feels like maxed overriden machines can take in considerably more than even in hzd. If it was available early game you could make machines do 90% of the job. What machines do you find the hardest to fight? After having fought everything, I gotta hand it to apex fireclaws.

Or just exploit powershot for ammo refill at a campfire, hardly consume any sludge because of it, have like 600 sludge despite using adv elementals and spikes. my toughest fight was getting two birds with one stone and collecting web sacs and apex hearts from the same apex fireclaw. But if not for the sac webbing they are probably not the hardest with frost weakness but that they are always in my face still makes them do more damage to me in a short time than anything else ive fought. Toughest in the wild that is. The toughest enemies have been in quests where you get no respite as you get gangbanged from several aggressive machines. The last arena challenge and Grimhorns on Zo's quest and two fireclaws + rebels on Talanahs quest have been among the toughest for that reason.

exquisite tea posted:Guerrilla have said they purposely stayed away from insect/arachnid designs to avoid the machines too closely resembling the Faro bots. I can see that with arachnids but imo you could make a lot of insects not resemble faro bots much at all beyond their legs. Many insects already look as different to faro arachnids as a crab/shellwalker does. The wings and eyes alone of some can give a whole other impression. Something like a dragonfly for example, they are usually solitary too so no swarm association. I dunno i think insects have potential and can be made more "gaia-like". They already managed it with shellwalkers, would be that different with many insects. Anyway, i usually dont have a problem with detached parts disappearing except for stormbird cannons that seem to vanish half the times you tear one off?

There is also that sidequest that makes you choose between two people vying for power, which kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. It is not he angry/brain/heart options, but you get a dialogue choice that affects the outcome. The quest chain at scalding spear, wish i could tell both to screw and pick Jetakka instead. Mostly felt out of character having to actually fight on one sides behalf when both were being stubborn. Picked Yarra because she at least entertained the thought of a parley while Drakka forced his hand more to combat. But a red flag that Yarra could not be convinced that whatever happened at the pump station was unintentional when it is by far the most likely, she herself knew poo poo about pumps but cant entertain any other idea than Drakka masterminding the whole thing. Would have felt more comfortable picking her if she were willing to drop the malicious accusation that kind of puts Drakka in a corner and escalating things. Drakka seems to have worse leadership skills and a hothead but his grievances were pretty legitimate for the most part. Feels a bit empty now that i have done all quests and side-activites (except the last machine strikes) but everything has an end.

Would be more motivating if metal flower/firegleam loot occassionally had machine parts frequently used for legendary upgrades (at least for some in the late-game regions of the game). The hearts and stuff are always the ones for selling or lower-tier gear, have not come across any that are used for upgrading legendaries. And since you are rarely short on shards after a certain point in the game i mostly ignore them unless they happen to be on the way. Two marked behemoth convoy sites finally appeared in the stillsands. Wonder what finally triggered it, were missing even postgame, only thing different since then is completing a bunch of sidequests and errands.

Like with other stuff. You still have to redo cauldrons, tallnecks etc and i guess sunwings are no different. Would be nice though. I hope there wont be any new adept gear equivalent in NG+. Enemies remain the same, but with maxed out skills,current gear and techniques/surges you are already at least as OP as you were in HZD with adept stuff.
