Horizon Zero Dawn patch 1.10 is live
- Thread starter Cyberia
- Start date
Love that they're pushing out small patches to fix things quickly.
My (incredibly fussy) wish list is:
(1) Stick/aim sensitivity option
(2) Extend "interaction" range (e.g. for picking things up and speaking to people - feels like I need to be right in peoples' faces)
(3) Minimap (yeah, I said it! I'm not a fan of relying on the minimap constantly - I hate that - but this world looks too homogenous to have a clear idea of where I am, meaning I need to open the map a lot).
(4) Get rid of the wierd pause before setting a trap. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
And my big one, that will never happen, is:
(5) A hardcore mode. I don't mean combat difficulty, I mean the rate at which one stacks up resources, XP and money. I understand these games are difficult to balance, but if you do everything you end up way OP way too early. I haven't farmed at all, but am lvl19 just by exploring and doing quests, and I'm only at Mother's Crown (I think that's what it's called). I'm storing skill points to help keep things a challenge, but my health goes up automatically when levelling. Already playing on "very hard".

I haven't been keeping up, did they add inventory/ quick select sorting in an earlier update?

Fire arrows man.

Man this would have come in handy all the times I was buying wire by the hundreds. I would scroll through my phone on one hand and time my X presses by the vibration in the controller. Tedious.
I also hope they improved the rare animal material drop rates. Even though you can totally cheese it by farming Processed Metal Blocks from Scrappers (and Scrapper Piles) and trade them at the box merchant in Meridian for Scavenger Dark Boxes. It sucked that, having put 50 hours into the game so far, that felt like the only way I could upgrade my pouches.
What was crazy is that certain pouches would remain un-upgraded for dozens of hours (I'm looking at you Sharpshot Bow Quiver) because I couldn't find, like, a single Raccoon Skin or something, and as soon as I did, the next three levels of the upgrade would be available to me because the upgrade requirements don't match the rarity of the actual materials. That's a broken system.
I want my Racoon and Fox skins and they're going to get it!

Fire arrows wreck them.
Considering I play few games with camera control options, yes. Always mess around with x and y axis controls when I can. I'm still not used to it in Horizon, so this is a godsend.

I want the ability to set the time of day like Infamous Second Son has. The game is way too pretty at day time.

Hope this fixes the stealth bait-and-wait > pile up bodies AI behavior.

They are super easy with fire arrows.

They need to do something about resource management. Categories and sorting methods, please. They should also do something about armour? I have 25 slots but I only use three after 50+ hours. Same thing with weapons, actually. I only use three bows but I have so many slots.

Yeah, I'll never understand the frustration with Glinthawks. I mean, they're a nuisance, but I'd much rather deal with a flock of them than, say, a couple of Snapmaws.
All you have to do is knock a couple fire arrows, hit each Glinthawk once, then pick them off with melee or hardpoint arrows after they fall from the sky. If they managed to survive the length of the burning status, just pop them with another as they struggle to get back into the air.
And if you really can't stand the AOE the others are dropping on you, just pop an ice resistance potion. You and I both know you have dozens of resistance potions and flowers that you never actually use.
Glinthawks are easy as hell.
2 heavy ropes to tie them down, 2 critical hits = dead.
Speaking of which, why can glinthawks receive 2 crit hits, but other machines afaik can only receive 1 per tie down?
If so I hope they fix the drops for fatty meat. It wouldn't be so bad if fatty meat wasn't used for every potion (while the other two are only used for 2/3 so I end up constantly searching for fatty meat while having to trim down the other meat I find).
Haha yeah, same here. Buying 100 units of wire was extremely tedious.
Still no "drop all these fuckin stones" button.
My weird head-cannon is that she's had the same 10 rocks since the first quest in the game that tasks you with picking up stones. I studiously pick up every rock that I throw.
While I've gotten better with glinthawks, I'd rather deal with snapmaws
. My tactic with glinthawks is to see them from afar, tearbreaker to their chest, and a sniper arrow to the big blue area that gets exposed.. then they die quick. If I don't see them right away and they're right on me, fire arrows are my friend. Hell, I still think the stormbird is the hardest enemy. I've now fought a rockbreaker and two deathbringers including a full health one. The fact that they are slow/large targets makes them super easy. Rockbreakers are a little harder but still have nice large weak points. Storm birds are fast and small weakpoints.hairygreenpeas

I'm almost done with the game, but YESSSSSSS to this!
Now please add a NG+, GG. That would be the icing on the cake.

But how am I supposed to kill literally all the Grazers at that early game watering hole from a single bushhhhh? And then use harvester arrows on their blaze canisters after they're dead for 24 blaze per machinnnnne?
I'm generally bothered by how easy lure>stealth killing from tall grass is too except in that instance where it saves me a ton of time on harvesting blaze. I use explosives and fire arrows like a fucking maniac so I burn through blaze so so so so fast.
Seriously, blaze is given away everywhere. It's one of the things I usually end up selling cause it's taking up too many spots (That and metal cannisters or whatever those thigns are... what do they even get used for? I accumulate them so quickly that I groan when I see them).
I use a ton of those too but I don't think I've ever harvested it and yet I have hundreds. Maybe you need to use freeze more to avoid going thru so many explosives?
I never bought a single piece of materials in the entire game. But I also killed almost every bot I ran into because the hunting was so fun. I had more issues with having too much crafting gear.

I didn't even bother to buy any materials from venders during my playthrough. Shit was tedious!

Whe I finished the game I changed my loadout thinking I could play without relying on a Bow for damage and having a Blast Sling as a main damage dealer.
Loadout: War Bow - Blast Sling - Ropecaster - Tripcaster Wire.
From that loadout, only the Blast Sling deals damage (well, Tripcaster Blast Wire too tho). It drained blaze more than I could refill it with looting corpses. So every now and then I had to buy blaze from a vendor... not fun.
Obviously the game is not designed for not having a Bow as a main weapon.
Its unbelievable that such a polished game as this, wehre you would think that the technical aspects are damn near flawless, that the team keeps working to achieve perfection...
Fixes on framerate, collision detection, clipping, animations... this is amazing... kudos to GG they are proving to become one of the most respected devs for me with Horizon.
Meanwhile... Bioware cant run ME:A decently on a PS4 Pro...
/sarcasm.

But they do. The scrolling loot list on the right bottom side of the screen shows both how many were picked up and the total you have in parenthesis.
NOOOOOOO I JUST FINISHED THIS GAME
You can't tell but I'm crying rn
My wires and blaze...

Yes I was hoping for this too, as well as maybe a "Sell All Items That Are Just Used For Selling" function. LOL not sure what you would call that, but for selling all monster vessels & ancient loot.
