That is my guess. I have been exploring everywhere so I'm level 30 and not close to Meridian yet -_-;

They are just an indication of the level of the enemies in that area. Your level does not matter that much. What matters is your weapon and mods.

I could go with that except I'm greedy. I'd still want the third one sp. But I'd be happy with that. But I really want at least 2 more dlcs adding story and zones and monsters. I could maybe even see myself trying the third if it was a co op one since the few people I play with online (like I can count on one hand) do have this game and I'm sure I could at least convince one of them to co op with me (especially as he already expressed he would like a co op mode). I just honestly prefer sp to co op.

Corruption Zone: Fight 2 of these
1 was crazy enough, but double trouble, jeez I had to cheese a little
Thank fuck Corruption gets melted by fire and had a fuckton stockpile of Blaze ready to go
I think all the big baddies that are Huge almost always payout a Very Rare mod
All the Thunderjaws, Rockbreakers, Stormbringers have netted me Purple mods

That makes more sense I guess. It also clarifies why some of the Hunting Ground missions seemed quite a bit harder (to get a Blazing anyway) than what the level would indicate; even though the enemies themselves were easy.
First Thunderjaw I saw I killed. I ended up with two or three purple mods, and one of them was a 47% damage increase.
There are really only a few "must have" skills though, and the rest are pretty much filler. You'll probably be able to grab everything from all trees too before the game is even three-fourths finished.

So yesterday I met a Sawtooth roaming around city ruins. I've picked one narrow pass between two buildings, set all my blast wires along it, waited for Sawtooth to show up at the other end of the street and shot him with a single arrow.
He aggroed, charged at me and collected all the blast wires with his face. He was running so fast that his corpse landed right at my feet.

I think what everyone could agree though that the DLC, co-op or not, needs to have...
More Melee weapon options. Seriously, I want the Warhammers that some characters have. That would be sick!

That's awesome ha ha.
The Carja Sharpshot bow has them. Finish the proving and you'll be able to buy it.
Playing on a Pro.
On a 1080p set, it's incredibly hard to see any difference between performance and resolution mode. What is the actual difference in resolution? If performance mode is 1080p the IQ is nearly flawless.
I'm just playing in performance mode because it does eliminate a few frame drops, and more importantly, the Pro is so much quieter.

This thread is moving too fast so I dont know if anyone answer by previous question about that ancient Armour and if its worth the trouble?
Thanks. It's taking me a while to get skill points.

Out of curiosity, during the

. Do you get to use this later on too?

wield a sort of machine gun firing arrows
Yup. Like the first thing I thought of when I met the second race.
Took down my first
last night. Fairly easy to deal with since they don't seem all that intelligent and predictable. Have a focus seems to make taking them down real easy too.
Loving the game so far, even if it can be overwhelming at times just because of how massive the game world is.
Blast wires are the best.

Fridays are my slow days at work and I am seriously contemplating leaving early to get an extra couple hours in HZD.
How did you not hit the share button afterward?

Go to an area with a lot of foliage/tree, etc... it should look better in res. But if you're not noticing then is best to play perf.
I hadn't been using it but I started last night it's my favorite too. It's easy to aim and extremely effective allowing you to get 2 crit + extra melee hits.
Haha at that floating quest marker. Really don't understand why you can disable every hud element except for the compass and quest markers.
What's the best way to use the ropecaster ?
I always lay down some shock wires and go for a critical.
And is it better to use the sling for elemental states than the shock/freeze arrows? I already have two bows (shadow and sharpshooter) equipped and don't want to equip another one.

Hmm I might go buy it now. The world looks beautiful but I don't know if there is enough incensive to collect loot and stuff. And if there's ultimately other things to focus on than the fights against the robots.
I mean I got really bored of Uncharted 4 and had no urge to finish it. Only got up to chapter six or something.
I don't want too much shooting. I want exploration and lore.

I think the worst part of the quest marker that shows up on your screen is it doesn't actually correspond to where you need to go, but instead it's an arbitrary point on a main path near you. Most of the time I'm not running around on the main road so the quest marker ends up like my annoying GPS telling me to make a U-turn every five seconds because I'm taking a quicker route. Argh!
^^^This is easily solved by turning off Quest Pathfinding in the settings. I think its under gameplay. Then you just see a direct line to the quest destination.
The compass can be disabled. The floating quest marker is annoying though. HUD settings don't effect it. You can make it disappear by deactivating you active quest in the quests menu, but next time you get a quest it will appear again until you deactivate the new quest.
I think you've got that backwards.
If you turn everything on the HUD off then the quest market is literally just a point on the map you need to get to.
If you have the HUD on (and that other setting I've forgotten the name of) the quest market acts like Google Maps and tells you exactly where to go on the paths to get to where you need to get to
They've really got to patch that. As it is, the dynamic UI is so good. Really found myself missing it in the Witcher III when I replayed some last night. I love the "tap to see UI" thing.
This is incorrect. I can confirm, even with all HUD settings on Off or Dynamic the floating quest marker appears on screen for any active quest. That's my one big gripe. The only way to turn it off is to look through your quests to find the one that's "active", and deactivate it.
But yeah, Quest Pathfinding is the setting in the gameplay menu that makes the quest marker latch to roads.
I don't want to skip them though, I just want to put then on hold until I have better stuff, or do I have to complete them as they become available if I don't want to miss them?
Also can I do anything with the animals I hunt other than selling them meat? I've killed a bunch of boars and turkeys but I don't know what to do with them.

Question about Power Cells...
Quest Spoilers Ahead:
Thanks.
I'm loving this game so much. I hope to wrap up the story tonight!
Quest Spoilers Ahead:
So I got three power cells, but I see that I need a total of five. I've already completed the two quests where they're at. Can I replay those quests somehow? Can I get back to those locations? Or am I just screwed?
Thanks.

I set the compass to Always Off, no need for it at all really. The quest marker does get annoying though but it is needed I guess

I think I know the exact location you're talking about.
That was the first point in the game where I thought there is a badly designed enemy in the game. Seems like there isn't as much room with strategies with that enemy.
It's really not. I would prefer checking the map occasionally to having a floating icon on screen at all times. It should be a simple fix with a patch.

As a rule of thumb. Fast enemies are vulnerable to the ropecaster.

Oh there's a setting you can change so it doesn't do the road thing? Awesome - I'm fixing the hell out of that next time I play.
It's easy to turn off, you just have to deactivate your active quest in the quests menu. It really should turn off with just the HUD settings though. I feel like it's probably an oversight that will be fixed in a patch.

The meat are used to make health potion, and the skin and bones are used to upgrade many of your bad so you can carry more ammo/potion/bomb etc

U4 was solid but didnt really keep me interested throughout- I just wanted to get it over with. But this is fun, the gameplay is amazing so is story and graphics. theres lots of exploring and lore as well - the game is so interesting that you want to learn as much you can about the world and the past, first time I had this kind of interest in a long time
You can get them all no matter when, I dont think theres anything that you can miss in this game, they made it so you can collect everything even if you miss it at some point of the game
