Managing your staff mechanics feel kind of rough.

Needed rockets
Assigned everyone to R&D
Developed rocket launcher
Everyone back to their business.


Actually, is there even a point having staff in R&D dept, except the moment when you're actually developing new weapons and items ?

And question: can you still move combat staff when you have soldiers on a mission ? If so, id imagine increasing and especially decreasing combat level mid-mission affects the outcome ?


Also: auto managing staff needs prioritizing options.
 
Fuuuuuuck, I'm on mission
47
and no new ones are popping up. I've done a bunch of side ops too. Is this when the grind sets in?
 
So how do you know how to
quarantine the infected at mother base when the infection is spreading?
Late 20's mission spoilers.
Mission 25+ spoilers:
Part of the experience is not knowing what to do. I managed to narrow down the variable, and then to two options, then decided it wasn't worth the effort. Annoyingly, one of my guesses was correct.
 
Just finished Mission 18 & holy shit.
Big Boss seriously tried to recruit child soldiers? WTF? And the whole part where you had to escort them to the helicopter? Holy shit.
And I got an S rank on it :-P

One you deployed them on mission, they can only be moved once they return.
 
Having issues with side ops not staying completed. Just doing Defeat Heavy Infantry 01 and its not greying out on my list.

As I recall, he did it to get guns out of their hands. Might still have been a part of the PF business, but maybe doing desk-work or whatever
- If this was expanded upon in the game, I missed it!

I think everyone has this. Not sure if there's any consistency with the missions that remain available, but they are there to be repeated for getting more GMP and recruits, I think.

My list of repeatable side-ops: 11, 15, 27, 28, 32, 33, 110 & target practice.
 
If you kite enemies out of their designated area they'll vanish, only respawning once you get back near their regular position. It sucks.

Fox Engine, I expected better from you.

He didn't recruit them, he saved them from their prison and will try to give them a new life. MB is not the best place for them, but Miller and BB has plans to give them skills that can be use outside wars, so that they might have a chance at a normal life.
 
I bought the game a few hours ago and after 90 minutes I asked for a refund. I know I would probably love the gameplay but I can’t get past the intro, I feel very frustrated when a game constantly gives and takes away the control from me and this intro is just that. A shame.

LOL, that was just for the intro, after that the game opens up and you're free to do whatever you want in a huge open world.

Truly brings meaning to that "all over my face" meme for that scene.

Okay, thanks for letting us know you didn't play Ground Zeroes.

WOW... getting a refund after playing an hour on a game that has 60 to 100 hours in content...

What a knee jerk reaction, as soon as you finish the intro you are free to roam as much as you want.

Simply ridiculous.
 
Lol, just got FOBs.. so mine isnt very good yet but I already invaded countless people. Can't wait for everyone to come by and retaliate because I barely have any security..
 
I got the
Riot SMG
blueprint but it's not greyed out or ticked on my list, weird
I have that problem with a different blueprint and I just assumed I hadn't collected it, but the gun appears in my development queue and has been developed. No idea what's up there, and I really hope it doesn't stop me getting 100%....

Lmao come on man
 
I'm kinda scared of creating a FOB. I don't want to lose all my staff while I'm not playing. Is there anything to skip this? I know I can block the game with the firewall but I will miss the daily prizes...

Also, can I rip the tapes to MP3 or something like that? Not having the companion app with the PC version is a shame.

I don't blame you. That intro is garbage.

The only solace is that the rest of the game, from what I've seen, is the exact opposite of it. But it's hard to accept a 1.5 hour basic controls tutorial as anything other than absolutely atrocious; it totally is a shame.

Don't worry, dude. It'll be on sale by Christmas if you're still interested. The game itself is a blast to play, once you get full control.
 
It's really interesting that there's such a strong desire to salute back at the men and women on Mother Base, which would really be an unnecessary action. But yes, Mother Base would be twice as awesome if there were a salute button, even if it had no practical purpose in the game.
 
Anyone else get a hard lock on the PS4 version? It froze my whole console, wouldn't respond to me hitting the power button. I had to unplug it.
 
He's down some stairs next to a big door. You will have a button prompt to get in, if it doesn't let you in, then it's later on into the story before you can get in.

Downstairs. Really stupid, too. I already have the signs pointing to his lab on my base even though I haven't rescued him in the first place lol

Yeah, I actually had already found that place, but the button did not work. It unlocks
after he starts working on Battle Gear.

Wat? You have a really low levels of patience, bruh.

Great idea, you should make a thread about that!

:P

Dude are out serious? Lololololol

Your loss. The game opens up an gives you complete control immediately after the introduction.
 
So it turns out my cat really doesn't like the noise Sahelanthropus makes
when he attacks
. He's now shivering under my sofa.

Yeah, I am kinda getting annoyed by Mother Base. Another annoying aspect is that you cannot revert to your old configuration after you temporarily reassigned staff to enable a development. You can auto-distribute, but then you have to make all those customizations again that you wanted to have in place by default.

The micro-management and resource-gathering just isn't fun.

And (so far, I am at mission 20) there is almost no reason why Mother Base exists as an area. Apart from cut scenes and some super lame side ops, it has no purpose, despite the complexity and size of all the structures. There ain't even that many easter eggs.

Oh yeah, I know that. But that was after the fact he suggested they train them for combat.
 
You know I was initially all about DD and his auto marking everything in site, but Quiet is super broken with a silencer. I seriously tag a location I'm going to tell her to attack it and when I get there everything is either dead or asleep, depending on what rifle she has, by the time I walk in to the outpost. It would not surprise me in the least if given an anti-material sniper she's going to do be able solo everything.
 
might be a dumb question...but how exactly do I use Quiet. I have her in a side op with me. She was there when we dropped in from the chopper, then she was just gone. No matter what the situation, her options in the action wheel are always greyed out and I cant command her to do anything. I actually just noticed her markers is very far away from me on the map, does she not follow you at all?
 
So I don't quite understand the Security Cost, even though I might've just missed it.

Is that.. per invasion? So if someone invades me it costs that amount of GMP?

You mostly have to command her. On the map, you can send her to scout or attack a site. I always send her to scout ahead of me so everything is marked off when I get there.
