Exploiter Orb could use some QoL

[Krilexis]

I ran two times solo yesterday to get last Hildryn part I needed (no one joined everyone being busy with Profit Taker for NW) and here are some observations and suggestions:

- When out of Fortuna no waypoint is showed to the entrance of Deck 12 -> if you know where it is / havent forget fine but it is annoying

- Deck 12 : no waypoint to the machine to input Diluted Thermia -> this one I did forget I ran everywhere and finally found the X prompt phew

- Deck 12 : no waypoint to canisters from machines -> not mandatory but could help

- Phase 2 : I believe there is no indication to how many canisters we throw at the orb

A side note : during the whole bounty the objective text "Make Condensed thermia" or something similar didnt change and there was nothing indicating phase 1 or phase 2

Ill do 2 more runs today as I need to build Hildryn :)

This is what Loc-pins are for. Build some and place them, problem solved.

Why does this matter at all? I cannot see how knowing would make any difference to the fight.

 

The other points could be useful, if Loc-pins won’t work. But it’s not that difficult to remember when you have to run it many times.

I think this was deliberate. When it first released it was a sort of puzzle.

Not sure waypoints are the way here, but could do with some more visable FX.

My loc-pins cap is already maxed out because of fishing, farming and toroid locations but yeah can be a solution. Some people dont know about loc-pins at all btw.

Why not I dont see anything on the area that can tell me go there and use the machine.

I started the game in july 2019 and to me I had to go to wiki / youtube to find where to go what to do. In comparison the Profit Taker fight has waypoints on pillars for exemple.

Those are suggestions anyway, I believe they should focus on upcoming RJ and Duviri and of course fixing bugs.

I agree with OP. Please fix once you finally get the waypoint system fixed. (Still broken)

If we're going to add all these, can we have an option to toggle objective markers similar to how we get to toggle a bunch of the other UI elements?
