No, it was in the completely english demonstration of the FOB system.

thanks a lot, really sad that i got this glitch! I've got every other tape up to 7, but not the third
There's an old tweet that said the FOB was completely optional. What they apparently meant is that it's completely optional if you never connect to their servers.
I think the room you want is on the floor above that
No it wasn't a mistranslation. They literally said "it's an optional thing. You can opt-out of F.O.B."'s
Fucking bulllllllllllllllllllllllllllshit with the current situation.

Having a high bond with Quiet triggers side-op 150 and episode 45. She leaves Motherbase once side-op 150 is available.
The Butterfly emblem stops SO 150 and ep 45 from starting.

I can't wait for MGO. Will it have its own OT or just discussed in here?
Wow. That's some garbage.
Did you do any of the wandering soldier side quests?
I haven't logged in since last week since I got my first FOB and am legitimately scared to do so, who knows how many times I've been invaded 0_0
The game punishes you for even switching up your items.
"Oh you want an upgraded or different gun? That'll be 20K for deployment."
Do you have the PC version? If so I can tell you how to avoid any losses.
You should always be able to issue commands. Go into your idroid to Buddy Support and you can tell her either to scout an encampment or select Attack to tell her to move to specific spot.
If she gets shot at too much, though, she'll move.
I'm jumping in since I want to know this stuff too.
So having it ON keeps the missions from starting? Or having it OFF? Also does the game hint for you to do this at all? Or was it all just figured out and spread through Internet talk?

Thanks for the tips, guys. Finally beat Mission 45. Damn that was tough as hell.
Great cutscene before that, though.

I don't get what's so bad about having more
sniper boss battles. Especially when Sniper Wolf, The End and Quiet were all so good. The fight with Quiet was during the day and The Skulls was in the middle of a Mist. I honestly found sneaking around and finding their positions really fun. *shrug* Sorry you didn't but that's on you guys.
Yeah I'm on PC.
I'd be eager to learn how to avoid losing a ton of stuff, it's already annoying enough managing my meager resources trying to save up for the 4th level platforms.
First night after I made mine I was invaded nearly 50 times by random people.
It wasn't great.
It's broken against certain enemies if you use it with the gatling gun addon.

The ridiculous increase in costs for using upgraded items is punishing, though. Seriously, an extra few thousand GMP for carrying a couple more phantom cigars? It adds up.

Lol wow...maybe it's because I never did the tutorial, I mean the game told me to do so, but somehow I skipped it.
Finally developed
and can't wait to take out villains. Fuck mission 12 multiple times in multiple places. I spent an hour sneaking through the mission not getting caught on the first part. Did the same on the second part only to run into a roadblock finishing the mission by exiting the game. Keep in mind this was two hours of work up to that point. The game restarts me from the main area of the mission and forces me to start over again. At that point I snuck past everyone in part 1 of that part then went rambo on the second area but kept losing to the final thing in the mission.
Is the
better than the
?
stealth camo
Is the
stealth camo
chicken hat
Yeah, but do you need all these phantom cigars?
I dunno, I feel like my "end-game" loadout with a deployment cost of 37k is pretty reasonable. And I'm already packing a ton of shit I don't really need - stuff I'm just taking with me "just in case".

Use the emblem to keep her, don't use it to see the ending to her storyline. Which is quite good imo so I recommend doing it at some point.

I'd like to know too.

You get emblems throughout the game, the emblem he's refering to is the one you get for getting the BUTTERFLY codename.
Yeah, but why were people saying you should equip it? People seemed to indicate that it had something to do with Quiet later on in the game.
I think it's worth an own thread since it's a seperate thing, right? I already forgot was the gameplay was supposed to be.
Yes. Spoilers:
She will leave you permanently at some point. But the mission where she does so won't trigger when you have the Emblem.

Take a look at my last few posts
Gotcha, thanks! One last thing,
Do I need to have the butterfly to have the best bond possible with her?
Play mission 15 over and over again? Up to 4 walkers each time. The village is pretty small compared to the larger bases walkers are usually located. Seems like the best way.
Hm, okay, so the idea is to have max bond with Quiet, and to NOT equip the Butterfly emblem? Or is it something to do with getting that emblem on a mission? Seems weird that just equipping a cosmetic thing would affect the games missions so much...

No, you get lvl 100 affinity by using her in missions. So have her scout and attack a lot and it will rise very fast
Under your steam userdata folder is a folder called 311340 that has your MGSV saves in it. After you close the game and Steam finishes its sync, make a backup of 311340. Next time you start the game, if you have been invaded, quit the game and restore that folder. The catch is you have to remember to back up that folder every time you quit the game.
So what I do is log on and check if I've been invaded. If I haven't, I disconnect from the network and play. When I quit, I make a new copy of 311340.
It's just a way to stop the story development for people who really want to keep a certain game play element.
It punishes you for "increase in stopping power." That's literally it. +10 more ammo, +2 in penetration (which won't help against FULLY ARMORED AND RIOTED ENEMIES), along with using special items REQUIRING A MEAGER ELEMENT to deploy with (Precious Metal).
Why would I use the items they advertised (
Hand of Jehuty, Stealth Camo, Bandana)
Why would I spend 5000K more GMP along with plants for the ability to knock someone out faster?
The deployment cost is a punishment for researching items and wanting better equipment. You're better off using the magazines, using Quiet for cover and choking the hell out of people. The only "benefit increase cost" that is worthwhile is upgrading your scope and fultons.
Mission 15
Well then what's the point in the first place?
Either its an upgrade or its not. If its an upgrade, its pretty silly to deter the player from ever using it. If its not, then why bother including it in the development process?
