Question though. After competing the first few missions I was showed my loot. Should I be salvaging all those weapons or hold onto them all? I salvage the lower level stuff immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been mentioned that you get quite a bit of loot thrown at you, so it's always best to go with the highest level stuff and salvage the old items. No use for them once you've gone up a couple of levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah more or less. Once you get stuff in your inventory you can start crafting that item. I think you may need to do certain challenges to unlock the ability though first.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Yeah. I haven’t taken a loot at the challenges. I know in the demo the challenges were getting kills, but then I saw something that looks like some challenges are just having them equiped and completing activities.

That's my only issue right now is that when I fire it up it's on like some low resolution and I bump it to 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got the Masterwork version of the Fulcrum, and its shredding. The weapon specific challenges seem to be just to kill enemies with said weapon to unlock higher versions of the blueprints.

Uncommon, Rare, Epic. The blue prints scale to you, so you can craft that gun later if you have the resources. I think that's how it works.

Zaku3 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I am at the tomb part. My only problem with it is that I need friends. In freeplay everyone seems to run off and do their own thing. I doubt I can take on a world event by myself. (Lvl 19 or 20 with about 218 power jav) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 So does this basically require friends for most things? Or is it like Destiny in that 90% of the stuff you can solo but if you wanna raid you need a group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Lvl 19 or 20 with about 218 power jav) You should be able to easily do world events on your own. Very few require a team in challenge. What are you playing on?

Matchmaking is on default for everything though. The real End Game content, and the Strongholds on higher difficulties will probably require real communication and teamwork.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I try playing free roam solo on hard and I get chewed up, especially if there is a lancer in the enemy ranks. Storm really shines when the enemy is not firing everything they have at you. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDunks4 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I know some of you have talked about the NPC's in the game just being static and not interacting with each other, not having those one off convos like they do in Mass Effect/Dragon Age. I think its pretty clear that in a game like this wont ever be as deep as a single player game. But later into the game, there are deeper conversations with not so easy choices between different characters as well. Is it a Mass Effect level story, no, but its not bare bones skip every convo like Destiny or Diablo is either, which is what this game should more accurately be compared to.

JPDunks4 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Quote Hey Freelancers, As some of you have noticed there are certain fixes that we can make without any patches (live changes), but there are others that require a client-side fix that needs to be downloaded. We have identified the following issues and are working on a client patch to resolve them: The final boss in the Heart of Rage stronghold isn’t appearing if the group wipes before engaging HDR is currently disabled on consoles (Xbox One and PS4) Some players are encountering issues that are causing them to crash While the team continues to work on the above fixes they were able to address some of the live issues that have been reported: Coin changes for Daily/Weekly We have fixed an issue that displayed and rewarded the incorrect amount of Coin from various activities Stronghold Matchmaking We have extended the timer that allows for matchmaking in a stronghold. This should allow groups to fill easier when matchmaking Non-stop Rain We have fixed an issue that was causing it to rain in game more than intended Fusion Proc Bonuses on Weapons Weapons were incorrectly applying infusion proc/bonuses from being equipped when they should only have been applying bonuses from the weapon that was in the active slot Chests found in Missions changes Chests found in missions now have less of a chance to drop higher tiered items Emotes Not Properly Saving We have fixed the issue that was causing emotes not to save properly when bound Shield Fix We corrected an issue that was allowing players who still have shields active to be one shot by high damaging attacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was wondering about that critique too... I have several conversation strings going on with NPC'S that remind me of some of the stuff FROM Mass Effect and Dragon Age. You have to talk to everyone and try not to piss them off... or they might shut down. Like other Bioware games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Unless they are taking about the idle conversations between non interactive NPCs.

Although I HAVE heard non interactive NPC's Having conversations too Maybe it's because everything is in first person and not cinematic like The Dragon Age and MAss Effect games?

Xbob42 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 You can totally solo World Events by yourself on Normal, on Hard you might need a bit more power. On GM+ I wouldn't expect to be able to solo them for a while. I do really like that you can choose your difficulty for Freeplay, it means that exploring the world can stay dangerous without weird automated level scaling where you and a level 2 guy are both taking on the same boss and doing the same damage. And yeah, the conversations you have absolutely remind me of stuff from Mass Effect and Dragon Age. A certain character is straight up a nod to Mordin, and gets up to some weird, wacky shit. Like I've been saying, I've been having a lot of fun with the characters and like them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIEN-gunner Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I've been playing a bit of the story and have been busy trying to find a color scheme I like for the Intercepter. The graphics and load times seem fine to me on the PS4 basic. All I can compare this to is the demo but everything is much improved. The wind and rain efffects almost feel real. Also outrage culture on youtube gets a lot of traffic. Youtube is these peoples main source of income. And message boards are full of kids, complaining is easy.
