Anyone else finding there are certain items (random crap) you can't delete, sell or salvage from your inventory?
They're probably autoequipped in a different loadout. It's a retarded system, just check your other loadouts and make sure you don't have them equipped.

That was it - beyond retarded. I couldn't even just unequip the second loadout, had to manually equip every slot to be the same as loadout 1. Only then could I sell the items.

Any more follow ups to this game? How is it a few days in?

I played a little myself on a friends account and I'm actually considering buying this now. The UI is hot garbage and I've been avoiding side missions but so far I've actually been entertained. Haven't seen an Ark yet.
I got to 440Ego or so, got burned out, and went and downloaded Fallen Earth... Now I'm hooked on FE, they made a lot of changes. Streamlining the process and you actually start with guns now.

Voice chat ticking back on every time you join a pvp map is annoying as shit. Every time it sounds like there's some guy sticking a mic up his ass every 30 seconds and yelling FUCK FUCK FUCK.

On the upside, i figured out you can turn it off if you go into options and untick it again. Shits annoying still.

So many mixed reviews. Hard to find a good consensus.

Fill in the blank for me anyone I am skeptical after getting burned so bad by Simcity DD edition "This is worth buying if you ____"


If it helps assume there is no possibility I would play this on the console.

..have nothing better to do with your time, are looking for an MMO with zero substance, and dont mind paying $60 for about 15 mins of repetitive gameplay repeated ad-nauseum.

On a side note, if you do want the game, send me a PM and we can work something out to save yourself some cash and maybe help reduce my cash hit I took on it lol.

Im finding this to be a good "zero mental investment" type of game. The story is not pulitzer prize winning writing, but it is keeping me entertained and the voice acting by everyone other than the TV series actors is actually quite good. Maybe the TV actors aren't used to doing voice work or were coerced into doing this for scale or something...

I like finding new guns and figuring out how best to augment and use them as well as just the sheer joy of shooting people or critters in the face. If you do as well then you will have fun with it.

Game starts out kind of rough around the edges and lends no real explanation as to wtf is going on or what anything really does. Took me a few hours of messing around to really get the feel of things but now that I have, I am enjoying it. It certainly won't be winning any awards but it does have it's charms. Quests are repetative but I am enjoying the combat enough that it hasn't really bothered me yet. Ego rating at 220 with a good 8 hours or so logged. Been playing mostly solo, but I can easily assume playing with a buddy would be the way to go. Chat seems a bit fucked atm however so ugh, yea... there's that. As has been said already, picture Borderlands and generic_mmo_22141 giving birth to a baby, and said baby getting dropped on it's head. Could be better, but in no way do I feel like I wasted money on the box price.

For some odd reason I am having a blast playing this game.

It's weird since I hated the rifts in Rift and I didn't like these "dynamic" events in GW 2 either. However, in this game it just make more sense to jump in an area of interest with other random people shooting bad guys.

Any one knows if there's armor with stats though? I think the Armor/Suit in the game is just cosmetic.

I'm also confused what the "archtypes" actually do? Veteran, Survivalist, Ark Hunter and Machinist... is there even any difference between them? (tried two and they had the same EGO menu).

How often does this game go down anyways? Game is fun to play, but really feels like it's lacking depth.

Armor is cosmetics and your "class" choice is simply your starting armor and weapon, so that's cosmetics too and well your starting weapon I guess isn't but since it's a trash weapon it doesn't matter.

So no bank, limited inventory space...why does it take 4 double clicks from the fucking salvage menu to break something down? I hope I'm missing something there, because that is ludicrous.

Feels like there is so much potential here being wasted. I'm still having fun but some of the design decisions they've made are really fucking odd.

The design is very rough around the edges that is certainly true. Either the reported stats dont tell the whole story or the item guy is a retard because in many cases the green items at a given EGO are the same or better than the blue ones. Even on the reputation vendor you will see EGO 350 sniper rifles that are identical except one costs 5x what the other one does.

That having been said I am far enough in now (just got to San Fran) that I am really enjoying the story that they are telling. Shame is that since they arent using Henson for the makeup in the TV series the Sensoth, Liberata and Indogene are gonna be used only sparingly as they look horrific on screen compared to their in-game appearance.

Given that the patcher reminds people to do Episode 1 stuff before the 15th I am guessing that each week the series airs the actual content of the game will change. They indicated it would and since all the 'cinematics' they do are using the in-game engine it seems quite viable to have a decent level of content in the game.

Aren't Synergies "class" bonuses of some sort? Haven't gotten that far yet.

Also I remember reading somewhere that weapon colors relate to the amount of mods you can attach. Not sure if that is the case or not but my purples all have all 4 mod slots available.

If anyone more in the know can shed more light on this I would be much obliged.

You can add mod slots into a weapon (and have all 4 slots on a green weapon). The EGO level might (hopefully) have some effect on the bonus you unlock when you max out the particular weapon (otherwise low ego weapons are better since they have a lower cost on adding mod slots it seems)

Colour code changes the baseline number of bonus abilities the weapon has, whites have nothing, green 1, blue 1, purple 2 and orange 3. Purples and Oranges will also have a Synergy bonus. Greens, blues or white at my level are all the same stat wise. EGO rating and colour look to have a modifier that increases the number of slots the weapon starts with, but that's not conclusive. You can upgrade any weapon to the full four slots. It costs a fuckton of salvage to get the final unlock though, 12k salvage. Synergies are something I've yet to get to grips with as I haven't had the faction to buy one yet. But I would assume that a Synergy is created using the same type of mod in up to 4 slots on the weapon like a set bonus, so if the weapon itself has say Synergy: Veteran, with details for slot 1 and slot 2, then it'll activate once you've got 2 Veteran type mods in the weapon.

A few examples of how mod slots aren't and are affected by colour and EGO rating. I have a 254 legendary shotgun with 2 slots (nothing added). A 515 white pistol with 3 slots (nothing added). A 515 green pistol with 2 slots (nothing added). A 491 blue sniper with 3 slots (1 slot added).

If you are looking for a deal, you can pick the game up at Green Man Gaming for $45 with this coupon code: GMG25-S0FSG-R7Z9B. Not sure when the offer expires (just saw it on Slick Deals).

Yeah, I just dont know about the longevity of this game. I understand that they have some faction grinds? I have not gotten there yet. But once the story ends, WTF then? Am I missing something?

Do you really care about how long you play it for though? (assuming you feel you at least got your box price worth) Play it till it's no longer fun, then pick up something else, and the cycle will continue.

I know, its just that...ahh it does not matter. The game is fun for what it is. I probably have about 20 hrs into it and not even near done.
