What exactly do blueprints do? I was under the impression that when I got a blueprint, that item was immediately ready to develop. Is that not the case?
Three things would have solved the traversal issue: Making D-Horse something other than a buddy; making vehicle common rather than diamond-dust rare; and making it so that the helicopter could bring you between drop off points either in real time or not but without going to the fucking ACC.
well at that time I figured already language is spreading the disease, the game hints heavily at that (beginning at the mission were you fight the burning man later). If the soldier can't talk, because his tongue got cut out, he can't spread the disease, that's what quiet was trying to do. The only language all soldiers had in common was Kikongo, so I figured that had to be it.
This literally just happened to me. Very strange
As far as I know just continue completing missions, eventually he becomes available after a certain point in the story.
Most likely server issues. Connecting online lags the entire Mother Base menu at this point, let alone actually saving data on their end.

I just finished Mission 9, Backup Back Down.
This was totally playing in my head at the time.

And it was so much fun waiting to ambush the armoured vehicles.

No, you need blueprints, but other prerequisites may need to be met first.

Yup.
The ability to skip those "sit in the chopper on the way to the location" moments as well when you're just doing Side Ops. I get that may have been done to mask loading or something, but geez, a patch to skip that would be fantastic.
I was glad that I figured that out on my own.
Language
quarantined soldiers spoke English, Russian and Kikongo. I reckoned that since Snake and Ocelot both speak English and Russian and they'd have to be fine for story purposes then it must be Kikongo. Got it before it spread at all, which was great.
It's entirely possible to avoid them. It's just that a little patience is required. They kind of track you, so you need to lead them along enough, first.

I haven't gotten up to it myself but from what I've been reading from this thread and the spoiler, you can't get 100% unless if you let her leave. I believe it's mission 46 and Side Ops 150 that ends with her leaving and having the emblem prevents you from doing Mission 46 (& Side Ops 150? Not sure).
It's either you let her leave and never get to use her again without doing the whole story again or you keep her but avoid 100% completion.
One work around is to do everything that you want with her prior to reaching Mission 45ish and then just let her leave. So if you plan on using her to S rank all the prior missions, do so before you reach Mission 46.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Well it wasn't too hard to look at the quarantine list and see that Kikongo was the common link between all the infected. It took me like 2 minutes to realize.
WTF, how the fuck do you figure that out!? I mean maybe the initial 5 hint at that, but WTF.
Yes. But outside ofQuiet trying to pull the teeth(?) out of the guard that is mentioned in that "identifying the infection" tape, they're still "I DUNNO ¯\_(ツ_/¯ LOL" toward it.
That's what I'm doing (well until I did the above answer) but I dunno if that stopsthe crisis completely since at the end of mission 28 you get a "TO BE CONTINUED..." so...
Kaz says 'there has to be something they all have in common'.
So I went to the Staff Management screen > Quarantined Staff. I looked at every detail of each of them. Their name. Their ability. Their skills.
Eventually it came to the Language thing. Considering what Skullface says throughout and the tone of the trailers/themes of the game, I reckoned that was definitely it. I looked through the Quarantined bad guys - and sure enough, the only thing they all had in common was Kikongo. Lateral thinking, bro!
Then when you pick up Codetalker he explains that the virus is tuned to one language. And Kaz says bluntly 'Skullface wants to erase all languages except English!'

So all these blank spaces in development pages need to be filled up by blueprints, I take it?
is that the mission where they show up right when you try to get on the chopper, right? You can get away without being seen by them! What I did was lure them under the bridge, then run like crazy back and cross the bridge before they had time to walk up again.
Not the blanks, the question marks.

I wonder how this works, mine is super high and I'm curious whether Theres a online leaderboard or if it's just a standard rating
But you prefer
going to location X to stun something and extract it back to base or going to a location to shoot mines. The other Side ops are nothing more than goto location to kill/extract a person
Lol,
Quiet with her Tranq rifle
Because it's stupidly fun when it works.
Lower is better and it's a global leaderboard yeah, it shows you after an FOB mission but in a weird way. like some kind of group rank, then the second number is worldwide rank which updates once per day.
there really is no reason for it. and i'd argue sticking them all in the same desert locations strips away a lot of the perceived variety of each "level". they're different layouts, but they still feel similar due to the colour pallet, weather, assets etc... like racing games that have multiple tracks within the same location. i'd have much preferred they given us those same "levels" but put them in interesting disconnected locations. snow, desert, swamp, jungle, urban. the connected world doesn't benefit the game, much like it didn't in LA noire or mafia 2. it just serves as travel time between locations. ie. pointless.

Yeah first time I got wrecked. So then I just brought D-Horse and tranqued the bear while galloping away.

Lol,put him to sleep in one hit. Looks like I missed on a boss fight thereQuiet with her Tranq rifle
Aww man. That would have helped! Poor DD got his butt handed to him. Thrown all over the place.
Yes.

Since my bond was Quiet was high, you get another cutscene with an added hint.
Basically, she attacks a soldier at mother base and tries to stick a knife into his throat. Later, when the virus hits, Ocelot suggests that maybe she was trying to give us a hint, and the cause is in the mouth.
I also got lucky and one of the first people quarantined only spoke two languages, Kikongo and Afrikaans.

So i'm on mission 16 where you have to
My R&D level is like 17 now. Am i missing something or are there other ways of going about this?
extract a truck and the skulls jump out of the truck and start looking for you. I literally can't balloon extract the truck, it says 0%, but i also have no options to upgrade the balloon extraction.

If I get caught in a mission and restart at checkpoint, do I wipe that "alert" for the mission? I'm trying to beat this game completely stealthed.

Yeah I think so. I believe it just adds a "restart" penalty instead.
kill the skulls, drive the truck out of the combat zone. either that or grind until you can craft the cargo 2 fulton.
Yes.
If you can't fulton vehicles, you have to
drive the vehicle out of the hot zone. That means you need to kill the Skulls which is easily done if you have D-Walker. If you try to drive it out while the Skulls are still alive, they'll blow the truck up.
You need a specialist to develop that fulton, he's in mission 10. You might have to
drive away after killing the skulls.

Anyone else like to turn down the in-game brightness when it gets dark? It makes unlit areas almost pitch black and gives you much more incentive to use your NVGs. The default setting is way too bright imo. Plus I've found that the increased darkness gives me a false sense of safety, of course it doesn't affect enemy eyesight or anything, but it does help when I'm surrounded by 20 armed dudes and are planning what to do next. Combine that with playing without markers/tagging and you get, imo, one of the best stealth games released in recent years.
It makes me want a new, proper, Splinter Cell so bad.
