Bulkheads and Raiders

Okay, I get that it's a PVP game. Not a problem.

I get that some items are rare, that's fine.

What I don't get is why we have to spawn 3 bulkheads in small crew, get beat up because we're low tier. Then get absolutely bodied by high tier players who wanted that loot.

I'm not even that mad at the other players, though the one who wanted to hop on mic and be a dick about being a predator seal clubber got reported. I'm mad that we can't go anywhere without running into getting triple dropped.

2/3 games we died because we got jumped for bulkhead parts. Bulkheads we tried desperately tried to avoid. It feels like they spawn way too often now in general as even as my usual single self I had to fight almost a dozen in three short drops yesterday.

I just want to walk around, loot, maybe fight a guy in a decent fight. Not get blasted by AI just trying to move around to get super blasted by high level players with no life.

Legit my only complaint with the game this far. Well that and ladders/stairs.

Solo player mode

Couldn’t figure out how to mount the guns onto the Walker. Thought I’d give it a go anyway. Got blasted by everybody who had multiple players in their team even though I chose a solo player mode.

Voice chat wasn’t working, regardless of what setting I chose. Got repeatedly killed until there were no respawns left.

Wandered around the map looting before that pretty successfully, even though I was in the mode where extracts are supposed to open shortly after start, don’t see where the extracts were on the map. A little bit lost, although I can see the enjoyment in this.

Blueprint idea for new players

a blueprint idea for those looking to have a reactor that is somewhat protected and budget friendly. it utilises the 2 person crew cabin purely to create an airlock, and also as protection from damage from the front, and the lonely captain cabin in the back for when you're running from other tramplers.

Rescueing other explorerers

What's up, all my sanders? I'm building a trampler for solo play, and I'm including an extra crew quarters (mostly for the extra armour around my reactor), and I'm wondering if other people who've lost their trampler can join mine and escape with me by claiming a bed in that crew quarter. It'd be fun to rescue people

How does loot split when playing with friends?

So how does the loot split if my friend is the leader of the group on his ship? Like boxes me and my other friends collect, does it split or most of it go to the leader?

Banned for turning on NVIDIA instant replay

As the title says. 20 hours in the game, tried to clip a fun moment, and noticed my instant replay was off. I pressed Alt-Z, turned on instant replay, and my account was kicked from the raid and had to fill out a questionnaire. Has anyone else experienced this? Any way to clip/record gameplay that people haven't had issues with?

EDIT: I was kicked, not banned. I guess it's more of a temporary ban until they review my form?

Anyone have a cheat sheet for looting locations?

I'm trying to upgrade my tech tree and keep running into the issue of no chardonnay, no sea deer, and no officer's safes. Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction/ if any named locations are more likely to have these items.

Now that the big streamers have latched onto the game, maybe the devs can get a little funding to keep the game alive.

I was happy to see last night some major streamers playing the game and doing it justice. If the studio can get some hype and make some money hopefully they can buy themselves enough time to fix the problems and put out a masterpiece. The game is so good with some incredible concepts, and exhilarating gameplay. It has incredible potential. I really hope it succeeds.

PSA: Change your aiming type from "smuggler" to "outlaw" in the settings

Outlaw aiming makes the game behave like an actual shooter i.e. your gun is always ready to hip fire and right click makes you aim down sights. Smuggler on the other hand makes right click hip fire and then you use shift to toggle between that and aim down sights

Let's hear your ideas for new content.

​

Just curious what ideas you have that could be added to the game. I'll start:

  1. Mines/desert depth charges you can drop behind your trampler to slow/damage pursuing enemies...boom

  2. Different frames that actually affect speed, acceleration, and hit points. (Big-slow and strong, small-fast and fragile)

  3. Stealth/camouflage pieces? Would be cool if you could hide your trampler while you are gone or stationary with engine off.

  4. More animations and cutscenes. For instance when you return to the ship or take off. Plus little things like reloads, repairing, etc.

  5. Duos mode! Really sucks to take on groups of 3 people constantly with just 2. Also a 1v1 arena mode could be cool.

  6. A special laser designator that calls in an Ai to help you in a fight? Like the orbital strike but less op.

  7. A CB radio would be awesome, flip through the channels and see if you can communicate with others. Although I feel like it would undermine the flares and turn into a shut talking mess.

  8. More leviathans, enemies, and especially terrain and weather hazards. Sandstorms that hurt you, quicksand or mud that slow you, electrical storms, etc.

  9. A compartment with a spare leg that you could deploy when one of yours is destroyed to keep moving. Eject the old one and go. Would weigh you down until it came in handy.

  10. Just more customization, paint jobs, interior swag, colored lights, horns, and emotes like in sea of thieves. Would be fun to play instruments, dance, etc.

So that's my list of content I think would be cool to see. Obviously the most important thing is they fix the bugs, servers, and weapon trajectory first, but I can dream. What do you think would be cool to see?

So when is the HOTFIX #2? Can't join discord, going on a few weeks now.

Wondering when HOTFIX #2 is dropping, VOYAGE Raids are busted and do NOT work per what devs posted, so WHEN is the patch?! You said the 25th of June. It is 7PM...?? So the 26th in EU??

Are these devs only good at lying or?
