Question just finished chapter 3, so I'm exploring the overworkd, how do I set up these mining things/ beacon for fast traveling later? Do I have to take up certain quest or can I just go to a location on map and is there a button for setting up a mining beacon????

you just have to find them by exploring. there's no special button just press A on the ray of light coming from the ground when you find them.

Am I the only person who has no problem with the text size? 42 inch tv and its plenty big

 

[Pappasman]

Can you ever edit your character once you start the game? Having trouble deciding between two hair styles.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Hard to read some of the UI on screen.

How do I know if my data packs are installed and working properly?

Edit: I ask because I've noticed a few textures not loading for a second. Is that normal with all of the day packs?

You can change all of it except the name after you do a sidequest... don't remember after which chapter tho,

Same here. The game can look stunning and then awful in an instant.

Also, anyone feels that the camera is wonky, it moves too much and makes me dizzy after playing for about an hour.

So I'll finish Chapter 2 tomorrow probably, but I'm not sure which division to pick. Does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking the Reclaimers (I think that's the name). The one that increases drop rate on enemies? Seems pretty useful, but not sure how hard it is to actually level it compared to the others. I don't want to choose one that will cause my BLADE level to gain levels super slowly.

 

[wild wild rice]

Holy jeez the in-game text is super small. The text is smaller than Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts before they patched it.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. Trying to make sense of what's going on during battles is just fucked. Luckily I have a basic understanding from playing XC.

You can always change your division at anytime

 

[RPGCrazied]

Played for a couple hours. Got to New L.A. Really cool so far. My only gripe is some of the text can be painfully tiny. It kinda sucks.

Here is my guy I made. Kinda plain, but that is how I roll.

 

[Xamdou]

Just got my XCX SE from bestbuy and it came in a plastic mailer, the box's corner's are all bent and beat up. I know for damn sure the insides will be in shitty condition too and I haven't even opened it yet.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

... This game was designed to be played with the gamepad... Just like Splatton is and Mario Maker...
/facepalm

What is this bullshit?

How was the game designed to be played with the GamePad? By pasting a map on it and preventing you from accessing it in any other way?

How in the world are you seriously comparing such a massive contrivance to the GamePad implementation in Splatoon and Mario Maker. I hope that /facepalm was directed towards the developers.

It's especially ridiculous considering they offer off-screen (TV) play, but you can't access the map when doing so.

 

[Dad]

So I'm not sure I understand the map in this game. Is there anyway to know where I have or haven't been besides where I place probes? Do landmarks I find in the world even show up at all? Right now it just seems sort of useless

I'm having that same issue. You apparently don't directly get the passive buff but rather you give it to other players. So not really sure.

 

[SoraanTribal]

Yeah true. I think it costs money to change, though. Not positive about that. Maybe that was just dealing with the online stuff.

Er what? You don't get the buffs from the division you choose? Surely that can't be right lol

 

[burgerhole]

Everyone is enjoying themselves too much so I decided to download it on eshop because I couldn't wait a few days for mine to arrive. I'm weak.

I think only probes cost money when changing..I don't think divisions do

 

[ChrisD]

OOOHOHOHO, Uncontrollable is just the big enemy battle theme?
I'm going to quote Lin here with a, "This. Is. Awesoooome!"

Love that song! I delayed the battle against the giant bug for it.

 

[TheOohChild]

Just got my data packs installed, and I am getting ready to play, but....I guess I missed the revelation that you can't play this with headphones. This is so goddam fucking stupid. Why would they do this?

 

[DeuceGamer]

Same here. The game can look stunning and then awful in an instant.

Also, anyone feels that the camera is wonky, it moves too much and makes me dizzy after playing for about an hour.

Hmmmm...I was hoping it was my data packs not being properly installed. I downloaded them but didn't see anything else I was supposed to do.

 

[theprodigy]

So, I wonder what updated stats are on this guy?

 

[SoraanTribal]

Ah gotcha, that's good to hear.

Might start with Reclaimers and see how that goes (if you don't actually get the buff, might as well get one of the easier ones to gain BLADE exp tho)

 

[OverturePT]

Amazon says it's shipped and was signed for by someone who's name I don't know.

None of my neighbors have seen anything.

Kill me.

That fucking sucks...

 

[rockmanjoe]

Just finished chapter 3. I could play this game all day. Game is amazing. Combat is so much better than the first game too. Loving all the customization freedom too. So much to do!

I don't know what they were localized as, but you can hear about "segment topics" from people in town and such, and once you do, something will be revealed on the map in the applicable segment, which kind of tells you that there's something to do there.

But I don't think it really marks where you've been besides the probes.

 

[Just Some Guy]

Just bought the Mario Kart 8 Bundle, the Hardcover Strategy Guide and the game.

Really excited to jump in!

Any launch day patch I should be worried about?

I just paid off my Visa (xmas shopping done as well) and this game comes out...must resist...

 

[III-V]

I want to love this game, but I can't commit. I really enjoyed Xenoblade, spent over 100 hours in it, but something about the reviewers careful wordings with this game has me paused for a few months.

What worries me most are descriptions of minimal story. I really do not want to RPG for RPG sake. I want a strong narrative.

I was hoping for something more similar to Xenoblade's mapping system

I ordered the hardcover guide but Amazon hasn't shipped it and it shows on the page in stock on the 12th.

Edit: oh, and congrats. Getting the Wii U now you should have a decent library to catch up on. There may not be big releases on the Wii U every week, but it has some amazing experiences on it.

 

[OverturePT]

Just press the screen and switch to TV and the map will appear then press the icon again to get back in-game...

 

[Jarmel]

My understanding is that the buffs aren't something you get but rather give.

You might want to consider the data pack add-ons which require 15GB to download and install for XBX.

I found that USB external HDs are generally faster than Wii U's internal memory so that's something to consider as well.

 

[Venfayth]

Wait, there's no audio options? Seriously?

 

[Azuran]

yeah, check the classes tab when you can, the class that equips longswords is probably what you want.

Yup, that was I was looking for. I didn't noticed at first the weapons each class could equip. Thanks!

 

[TwistedFate]

I forgot I had the special edition pre-ordered and got the email that amazon shipped my copy today.

Now I don't know if I should keep it or sell it cus dat $90

 

[Vecks]

Wow. That sucks. I hate when stuff like that happens.

 

[Anteo]

So, Tatsu.... Lin is merciless.

 

[R0ckman]

Anyone have the Survival Quantlet L? Just won't to know what or where it drops, very early equip, want to finish this suit.

 

[drac96]

Ohh joy, my copy was delayed in transit. Despite the fact that my friend who pre-ordered it 2 months after me and lives two streets away got his copy today. Good work UPS. Good work.

 

[Kinsei]

I stepped into Noctilim for an affinity quest and boy is it beautiful.

My current equipment makes me look like a pink power ranger (minus the helmet) >.>

UPS literally delayed one of my packages this week for a day because it was forgotten at the facility 4 miles from my house. That was literally the reason. My tracking said "Package delayed due to being forgotten at delivery facility".

Fuck UPS sometimes.

You won't use the Fashion Gear option? =P

 

[TWILT]

Do any of the dialogue choices matter or can I just pick whatever?

 

[Auto_aim1]

Which class should I pick after Drifter? How's Enforcer?

 

[Kinsei]

You won't use the Fashion Gear option? =P

It's actually the best looking gear I have. The only other decent set I have is a school girl uniform.

Which class should I pick after Drifter? How's Enforcer?

Try them all. You can change your class at any time outside of battle.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Anyone else wary of starting up since Splatfest in Splatoon starts at midnight?

I really only play the game during them to get Super Sea Snails to upgrade my gear.

Still I want to play day of so her I go to play for two hours.

 

[jb1234]

Wait, there's no audio options? Seriously?

Nope. They really want you to hear those UH UH YEAHS.

 

[qko]

Man, last night I was looking at posts about the midnight delay, and that was on page 16 of this thread


I asked for this game for Chistmas and I don't know how longer I can wait.

 

[Numb]

Try them all. You can change your class at any time outside of battle.

Wish i knew this before spending god knows how long reading and re-reading everything to make sure my path
