_Eclips3_ Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I saw a post, the feedback in this is highly valuable and needs to be adressed in a hotfix : I think the most awful thing about universally-hated mandatory tacked-on minigame that's called "Conservation" is the fact that it feels like it's engineered to be the absolute worst it could be.1) You have your tranq rifle, which gives nothing but godawful beeps that say "There might be an animal in a 100 mile radius around you, who knows!". The animal silhouette is #*!%ing periodically showing, you have to wait for every #*!%ing beep to try and search it out. And, of course, cherry on the cake. IT'S #*!%ING PALE ORANGE IN A WORLD MADE EXCLUSIVELY OF ORANGE GLOWING THINGS. If you TRIED you wouldn't be able to think up a WORSE color and a WORSE type of silhouette display than this.2) Animals don't appear on the minimap, no matter if you equip radar mods or not (That would ACTUALLY be a good use for the RADAR mods for once). If you make an EFFORT to slam mods that help you with capture - it's impossible, no mods, no upgrades for the stupid tranq rifle, nothing. 3) Tracking involves running along a barely visible track, staring intently onto the bright, acid-orange glowing ground with NOT A SINGLE track color being distinct from the environment. Bonus points for tracks leading god #*!%ing knows where.4) Want to enlist a help of three more desperate people forced into animal capture? You #*!%ing can't, bozo. Because animal captures are affinity-range-bound, and you STILL WILL HAVE TO DO IT ONE BY ONE, no splitting up around the map possible.5) Of course, maybe it's supposed to be relaxing. Sike, #*!%o. Constantly spawning enemies, including those who shoot at you from a mile away, and those who attack and kill your supposed capture. And you'd BETTER #*!%ING BE CAREFUL, because boy is it easy to scare off the animal, making this whole endeavor a fluke. Try again with the tracks.At least making bad captures gives exactly the #*!%ing same rewards as going out of your way and making perfect ones, am I right? What a gift, making perfect captures completely worthless. Knowing that you won't be able to squeeze more than a 1000 standing out of a rare animal, despite being able to bag 8000 for a kubrodon in Vallis, if you cared to invest in your skill. If you wanted to and were good at that, you could bag 20k rep in captures faster than the same amount would be done in bounties. You COULD outperform bounties if you were good. It was a good alternative for people who wanted it. Now I have enough mother tokens to instalevel the syndicate to the max rank, so the standing is completely worthless, forced to now run around and trade in the dumbass coins. How is it possible to look at two perfectly functional open world syndicates and completely #*!% yourself up over nothing?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotea Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Im not against concervation as much as some people. Ive enjoyed it. But i agree that the conservation needs serious work. Its nice in theory, but in actual game terms its too much of a pain for the rewards involved. Above all else, the flying conservations are a piece of ship. For most conservations, you can at least hunker down and wait for the animal to get to the bait. But flying ones? Is like hunt the bloody needle in the open world. The Deimos one especially is so bloody small, and NEVER LANDS. Also, in one of the 2 spawns for it, it appears over 3km above the level. its insane. What i'd like to see changed. + Show poop on hud when im close. (Sometimes im right on top of it according to my radar, but its not anywhere i can see. Is it underground, or up in the air? Who knows!) + Make the yellow 'its around here' zone shrink as i follow the track, as a choice for me so that at any point i can decide if its worth the risk just to eyeball it. (because sometimes those kubradons just seem to grow wings halfway through thier track) + Give a visual indicator for wind direction and animal noise direction. Because sometimes the grass bearly twitches, and the noise must be tricky for those who cant hear. + Im fine with the periodic glow at start, but how about revealing it with a constand glow after a min or so. + finally, please either make us invunerable while we're collecting the target, or make us untargetable, because i keep getting mobbed by infested during the animation.

Mr.Holyroller Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I like conservation and its pretty easy. It doesn't take much effort. The trade-off in Fortuna was that you got so much rep, but that sadly isn't the case with Deimos. Hopefully they make some adjustments. I just use a max duration octavia/ivara while doing it to avoid any other issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie-wan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Your title utterly fails at its job and your screwed up formatting of your message makes this a TL; DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
