numanoid Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) I dont know where to go, the cave entries are too hidden and more often than not people tend to run in circles - especialy in the spy like bases youre supposed to hack.

GinKenshin Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Pretty sure everyone felt the same way, but with more use you’ll fine it easy to know where everything is. Granted though the spy missions and the inside bases in general are a mess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMarker Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) It is supposed to be a bit confusing. It is a new "land" we just discovered. The more you roam around in Vallis, the more you get used to it. For the caves: If you find a cae, it gets marked on the map. If you get close, the cave-entrances will show up on the map aswell. Spoiler Just click on the spoiler. It contains a map of all the caves in Vallis. The numbers are there for a youtube video. Every numbered cave has Toroids in it. (Only interesting if you want to farm Toroids by searching caves) Edited February 16, 2019 by WhiteMarker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LascarCapable Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't like the fact that unlike in the plains you can't find your way back to Fortuna in a quick glance on the environment no matter where you are. In the plains, I just have to find the big tower and go towards it. But when it comes about Fortuna it's much harder if you're on the edges of the map. The fortuna entrance emits a smoke trail that is only visible if you are around the center. The obvious fix for that issue would be to make that smoke trail much longer and thicker, so you're able to see it from everywhere. All you would have to do it just moving towards it.

To me this is what I like more about Fortuna and Vallis. It makes me feel tiny in a huge landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicfingers Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 have you tried marking it with a waypoint to show you the way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehenge Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It's confusing in the first missions, and you get used to i. Personnaly, i loved get a bit lost in it, and i love randomly discovering all the caves and artefacts they droped. When i discovered the "Pearl" and the grid defense ruin, i was looking for Fortuna entrance and i was totally lost. Those moments are reaaly cool imo, and obviously they disappear very quick, once you know the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicsvinny Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Personally for me when it comes to 'Open World' I love to explore every nook, cranny and Corpus bunker. Honestly even after playing Orb Vallis since it came out I still get lost every now and then, but I've played enough that a quick glance at the map will let me know where I generally am. But I like that when it's an 'Open World' or Open Enviroment/tileset in Orb Vallis' case. Yeah it's big, new and confusing, caves can be problematic to find and explore for every supply cache and spy missions are hard. But that's just that. It's supposed to feel this way to instill a sense of discovery, adventure and lack of direction. I get annoyed with the Spy missions but that's just because of my aggressive play-style most of the time. You are infiltrating a Corpus Base, it should be kind of difficult right? Plains of Eidolon felt somewhat like this when it first came out but became trivial overtime. I didn't really like that. I felt like I did everything there was to do and no real sense of going back. Some tips though: Take some time and ride around on your K-Drive or even Archwing, it helps a LOT to get a birds eye view Find the major bases and make a mental note on where they are on the map, maybe even keep checking back at the map every now and then as the big locations are labeled Run through the big bases to get a feel for the place before doing spy bounties Caves get a marker when you discover them Practice and exploration makes perfect, sometimes rushing or focusing primarily on missions isn't the best path to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the air in Vallis is pretty polluted, making it difficult to look far. And not every smoke stack is the same. Not every smoke stack is 10 miles high. What are we arguing about? I just said, that I like the fact that finding the exit, or finding stuff in general, is a bit more difficult in Vallis. This makes the map seem even bigger. And being big is on of the points of an open world map, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And If I can't see them from the highest point of the map I completely loose immersivness and become disinterested and frustrated. Example the space station, that laser thing that shoots out of the top should be seen throughout the whole map, yet we can't....

If the air isn't clear, but dirty and polluted, then it gets more difficult to see stuff from afar. Just you standing on top of the Empire State Building won't lead to you seeing everything in Manhattan, if there is rain, or fog, or higher air pollution.

I could also most certainly see big thick dense black smoke. Edited February 16, 2019 by (XB1)RDeschain82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
