I was hoping we’d get a little more story. But this is good I guess.
I do hope that we get more expansions that can expand on the story with more missions. I had played through the original story after launch. I only came back to the game a few months ago, played through the main story again, Alpine, FNIX, etc. The new story expansions and missions were outstanding IMHO compared to the “good” story of the original release. It leaves the whole story open for so much more. I was hoping we’d get a bit more with Dark Skies. I guess we are in the form of 1 mission.
Yeah I see what you mean. This mission does give some more lore on what Tatiana is doing with FNIX so that’s pretty cool but I would’ve appreciated more missions as well.
Indeed. I’ll gladly buy more expansion packs if they include story driven content. To me, story driven content trumps everything else in terms of new stuff. Sure, new mechanics, items, etc are cool and a welcome addition. I think the mopeds and dirt bikes are long overdue. The new skins are cool and look great. The Firebird seems like it will be a formidable new enemy to contend with.
But without more story, new items and enemies are just “fluff”. After a few days of killing Firebirds and scooting around the landscape on the new vehicles, we’re pretty much back to end-game grind of killing rivals, Reapers, FNIX bases, and roaming the landscape with not a whole lot of purpose or sense of urgency.
Yeah that’s how felt when I didn’t know about that mission. I just felt a sense of dread when I realized that they’re really wasn’t any meat added in this update. Just fluff. I do feel that the island in the top right is going to be added soon. I personally would say the first quarter of 2023.
I personally would love randomly generated missions. Not like assignments but fetch quests or go here and look at this buts it’s guarded by machines. I would love that so much. They could be given out by random people or radios out in the wild.
Did anyone test the new world feature combined with a new character yet?
Is it really like deleting all? Do you have to collect everything again like blueprints, collectibles and schematics? Or are just the missions and the map and plundra etc reset to zero?
What if you delete your forth character and start a create a new one. Is the plundra etc for this character empty then, but for the others as it was before (shared)?
I’m just a bit afraid something is going wrong and everything will be lost.
I’m very curious about this too. I watched Tenebris Infinite’s video earlier. You can have multiple worlds, but it seems like you have the same 4 characters in each world. He didn’t actively test it out, so I’m not sure what the mechanic is exactly when it comes to Plundra, etc.
Indeed. That would give something to play for. The daily / weekly assignments are great when you’re playing through the story. They give you extra objectives with potentially good rewards. But once you’re at the end game stage, even the rewards are of limited value.
Not with a new character, only with an existing one. On that one, I got to keep everything (havent’s checked the Plundra yet) as well as collectibles, schematics and so on. So newgame +, here I come!
EDIT: All items in the Plundra as well as crafting materials still exists in new game +
The MC-ordonans(the oldest looking dirtbike) seems to be fastest so naturally I set up a jump with the scuffoldingramp at the most northern homebase and just launch into the little lake.
After riding the dirt bike (PAID DLC) around a bit, game crashed. Wasn’t engaged in enemies but just seeing how the bike would handle different terrain.
Did anyone find all three new machine blueprints yet?
I currently just got two of them.
One in hagaboda in one of the towers on the eastern wall, one in the secret fnix outpost south east of kopparberget castle. But during the mission.
There is still one collectible missing in Hagaboda, so I guess it’s somewhere there.
