Newish to the game, just now hitting hq 11. These are the bots I'm working with. Obviously I'm prioritizing upgrading my 4stars as I go but are there any of these 3 stars that are worth focusing on too or is the star rating that much of a leap in performance to where I should save my time and resources for 4's? Like only upgrade 3 stars to 30 or 40 or something? Just looking for overall tips
I recently bought a small bundle and that put me up to 1900 loyalty points but I can't use them to claim the limited bundle despite it being green and saying I can
First off new to the series and absolutely loving it so far. The setting, world, atmosphere, ect has had me hooked like no game has in a while. The series probably also has my favorite setup for an apocalypse in all of fiction and that's saying something when my favorite franchise is Fallout.
Now on to the discussion, another game I absolutely adore and feel like is kind of slept on is Generation Zero (what can I say I like big robots). While it definitely has issues (loot and crafting grind is pretty meh, glitches, story not the greatest) the atmosphere and setting is just phenomenal. And so naturally I've been partaking in every nerds favorite past time, mashing two franchises they enjoy together to see who would win.
So the first question is how does anyone who's played both think Aloy would fare in the GZ setting? And the second question is how would the machines themselves fare against each other. All machines from each game against the other. Obviously to make it interesting let's say for some reason the faro machines can't just take control of the GZ mechs. (Otherwise it's decided before it starts).
Now I am admittedly new to the Horizon series but from what I've seen it's machines have the distinct advantages of being clearly much more advanced (GZ is set in the 80's), and overall far more nimble and mobile. Meanwhile on the GZ side of things the machines are much, much tankier and could be argued to have substantially more firepower outside of things like the Horus's and maybe the Deathbringers. Especially when considering that a good chunk of the horizon machines are almost exclusively melee focused.
So all that being said, thoughts?
Just started Renegade Platinum and when I found out you could fish up early Horsea I was pretty excited as I've always wanted to use a Kingdra as my water for a run, so I was farming them for a modest nature one and after getting one (only took maybe 20 horses) literally my next reel was this 😁
Edit: Aww Kingdra shiny looks so bad. Wish it'd kept the colors that Horsea or even Sedra has
So after searching through countless posts and finding no working fix to the invisible inventory controller bug I have a relatively straightforward solution that I hope can help others like me who really want to play but can't do so due to the cursor being invisible in the inventory screen. Simply download Autohotkey V2 and create a blank text file named whatever you like (i used cursor). Rename the text file to your name followed by ".ahk". So in my case the file was "cursor.ahk". Then simply right click and edit with notepad and paste this in:
\#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
\#SingleInstance Force
; --- FORCE RAW WINDOWS DPI AWARENESS ---
DllCall("SetThreadDpiAwarenessContext", "ptr", -3)
; --- Customization Settings ---
color := "00FFFF" ; Cyan color (HEX)
opacity := 210 ; Transparency (0 = invisible, 255 = solid)
; --- Create Click-Through Overlay Window ---
overlay := Gui("+AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow +E0x20")
overlay.BackColor := color
overlay.Show("w24 h24 NoActivate")
hwnd := overlay.Hwnd
; Polygon vertices creating a classic cursor arrow shape relative to (0,0) tip
pointerShape := "0-0 0-18 4-14 8-20 11-19 7-13 13-13"
WinSetRegion(pointerShape, overlay)
WinSetTransparent(opacity, opacity ? overlay : overlay)
; Memory buffer for raw cursor coordinates
pt := Buffer(8, 0)
SetTimer(FollowMouse, 10)
FollowMouse() {
; Fetch raw physical screen coordinates directly from Windows API
DllCall("GetCursorPos", "ptr", pt)
mx := NumGet(pt, 0, "Int")
my := NumGet(pt, 4, "Int")
; Tip of the arrow sits exactly on the cursor coordinates
ox := mx
oy := my
; Move window directly at the hardware layer
DllCall("SetWindowPos", "ptr", hwnd, "ptr", 0, "int", ox, "int", oy, "int", 0, "int", 0, "uint", 0x0015)
}
; --- Hotkey ---
F8:: {
static enabled := true
enabled := !enabled
if (enabled) {
SetTimer(FollowMouse, 10)
} else {
SetTimer(FollowMouse, 0)
DllCall("SetWindowPos", "ptr", hwnd, "ptr", 0, "int", -9999, "int", -9999, "int", 0, "int", 0, "uint", 0x0015)
}
}
Worked perfectly for me to the point that I didn't think it was working at first since the cursor almost perfectly lines up with the normal windows one. Hope this helps others. (Some tweaking may be required as mine specifically had to compensate for the dpi or something (I don't understand the technical jargon I just know it works😁)
Recently really been enjoying "start from nothing" type maps where it's empty outside of a sale point. Like Ronida island, no one's land, ect. I have plenty of mods that let me add decorative buildings and even roads but one thing I would love is if there was a way to populate the area. Take Ronida for example, I'd love to essentially be setting it up for habitation. Come in, clear out forests, set up farms, and start building a town or two. Guess I'm kinda wanting something like medieval dynasty (but obviously nowhere near as deep). Want to work to build a settlement up over time. Is there anything like that? Even if the people are purely decorative, or just wander around aimlessly, adding some life to it would be nice.
Just a bit of appreciation for my favorite design in the whole franchise. I can't be the only one who thinks this is the absolute peak of Starfleet design. Perfect proportions, sleek, elegant but looks capable. And just the right size, not too big, not too small
Picked one up the other day for dirt cheap (needs a bit of work). Not the weirdest thing ever but I thought that was a pretty odd combination of things on what seems like otherwise a basic rifle at a glance. Lever action, but fed from an internal rotary magazine complete with a small ammo counter on the side. Also was one of the first lever actions to use "pointy" ammo thanks to said magazine. And for an added bit of obscure history, was briefly issued to the Canadian Home Guard, during WW1.
Never seen one of these before, are they rare? Kinda hard to tell when it's not moving but it's like a wolf made of vines and leaves
My junky "starter" Corvette. Sidenote, anyone else have problems with all their ships being egg shaped lol? It's like my mind has to make all the sloped pieces fit together so I keep ending up with the same general shape.
Side...sidenote...wish we had more color options. Was trying to match my character since his armor and weapon already match but this was closest I could get while still using the rusted look
This is probably a dumb question but what's the most efficient way to build corvettes? I mean physically build them, not the layout, but the actual act of building them? I've only recently started messing with Corvettes and while somewhat cheaty I kinda wanted to turn on free crafting and the other settings for creative mode to make it and then switch back to survival. I know the regular way is just to go hunting salvage but how do you guys do it where you can then use it in regular survival? Sorry if dumb question
Getting close to the end on my playthrough. Was bouncing around a fun idea but what do you think? A new game plus where I copy my character over to a fresh world but with no gear outside of the maxed out hacker. Would be sort of a free roam start where I can go literally anywhere from the start and would theoretically have the skills to survive in tougher areas from the start
Looking for fellow team ki.....I mean Arc enthusiast. Never cared for it before but with all the complaints about the new spore bugs I decided to try what I assumed would get me killed almost instantly and immediately fell in love with the setup. Surprisingly effective against all but the bile titans and I would love to see what a full arc team could do, since wouldn't have to worry as much about team killing.
For reference my build is this: med arc armor, blitzer primary (holy crap I slept on this), grenade/ultimatum secondary depending on mission type, spinny fireworks grenades for aoe and surprisingly effective against chargers plus you get a lot, de-escalator for longer range arc/stunning, arc guard dog (put away near teammates), Tesla for maximum area denial (seriously amazing against the zoomy bois), and either 500kg or orbital railcannon for titans. Would use laser but since D10 seems to spam them I find 3 uses just isn't enough
