Letting off some steam
I wanted to come here to let off some steam. I really like this game, and I've really enjoyed doing some of the missions so far. (Except maybe that insane one where you need to get 500 raw meats, etc.)
However, I'm coming here to vent about the "Handstone / Geological Survey" mission, where you need to set up three scanners in three different locations. I've been enjoying the game so much, and I'm so greedy for rewards that I decided to start playing on hardcore.
But damn, this mission would deserve a bit of love and a recode. The animals protecting those 3 spots (bear and jaguar) have a zone of effect that's way too small. If you try to snipe them with a bow, you can get them down to half health, and they will return to their zone with full health.
So I realized, "OK, the bear isn't able to go further than this very small zone for some reason, let's just place the scanner and run away."
BUT OF COURSE, for some reason, this f#king bear was now able to run after me and kill me on a way larger zone, and now I'm left with the 0-respawn screen because of this sh#t bug that clearly shows the developers didn't even try the mission themselves.
Please note: this was written in the heat of the moment after losing all my gear and modules on a hardcore map. I'm salty as hell right now 😂, but I genuinely don't have any hard feelings towards the devs. I really love the game. I just hope this mission gets some love because I'd hate for other players to go through the same thing. ❤️
