I haven't played the new Zelda so I really can't comment. But in a loot game with weapon rarity I never find it acceptable, in general, unless it is a rare event when it does happen, or there is some easy way to restore a weapons durability.
Neither is the case in this game, and it is worse off for it.

The game calls them crystal in English, and nope, haven't seen one yet.
I chose Kyle, the mail constructor and don't regret it. Love the BASE feature. He got a hat and goggles when I 2-starred him.
Anyone in your party can kill the mimic (or harvest a fire engine and so on.)
It should be pretty easy to find. The game puts it into the mission for you, and then you just have to find the survivor who's afraid of it.

Thanks. Got one now.
Last game was intense. Got lumped into a level 19 game with 2 level 9s and a level 19. The level 19 guy dropped before day one and one of the level 9s activated the Atlas before anyone had built any defence what-so-ever.
A quick airstrike on the surrounded atlas followed by me making the quickest make do mini fort of all time and we managed to beat the game with the Atlas seconds away from destruction.
Hi,
I was hoping you guys could answer some questions before i jump in?
1. How is solo play?
2. Can you reduce some of the clutter on the HUD?
3. How F2P grindy is it?
4. How fun and engaging is it? I mean is it likely you'll be playing from now until release?
5. Can you do two player co-op only or are you forced to take a full group?
6. How does the combat feel, is it varied and enjoyable?
Thanks

1. Solo play is pretty good, but I'd always suggest playing with randoms.
2. No.
3. Very grindy. But you can unlock enough without paying anything to be more than relevant.
4. Very fun, and yes, I will still probably play all the way to release if support is good.
5. Yes. You can set up a 'friends only' game, but once again I would suggest the two of you join with randoms.
6. Combat is good. The guns feel beefy and husks respond well to shots from powerful weapons.
Ahh ohh hoo rekt'em
?
Rarity in this is the same as every other game where a weapon use a durability system, some are better than others and rarity does not necessarily mean it's better than those of other lesser rarity.
In this game you level a blueprint, which never gets broken, so if you got a legendary 50 power weapon, you'll always be able to make a new one with mats as opposed to other games where those items run out and is permanently gone which makes people afraid to use them and instead "save them" for later.
Durability is the least of the games problem however I wish they decreased the durability penalty slightly in order to slow it down a bit. Weapons do have -% durability stats too, which does some mitigation.

1. Fun, but really tough when you get further in. If you want a challenge, solo will provide.
2. Dont think so unfortunately. I havent seen any HUD customisation.
3. Not bad actually. Early game you earn a lot of stuff naturally so youll have a constant stream of new heroes, traps, weapons etc. to try out and the game has so far been pretty generous with the in game currency.
4. Its a lot of fun, as long as they dont ruin it somehow I could see me playing this for a long time.
5. Pretty sure you can do 1,2,3 or 4.
6. Feels solid. Lots of different weapon classes with different gameplay and stats, plus melee which is much more fun than I expected.

You can go for base and upgrade in game at the moment if you like it.
I went for the $60 and was fine with it. The extra heros are nice I guess but I haven't used the free guns much.
base game: ok you can play, you will slowly unlock other class. the base hero is a soldier, so is what most people want.
base game+: you get a collection of classes, is a nice option if you want to play has outlander or something like that
base game++++(expensive): I think is the one with the white ninja, maybe? fashion perdition. Ninjas play for free warframe but here they pay special.
tl:dr
the extra versions are ignorable, except if you want to play has ninja from day one

Looks like they are going to have to do some tweaking, a lot of people aren't understanding the value of survivors improving your power and on top of that according to a redditor who spent about $600 on llamas a majority were survivors and only 2% heroes, I don't particularly understand why its THAT low for heroes.
Unless there are hero llamas that they want people to rush back to the game to buy llamas for that chance is way to low to spend coins on. I'm not spending a dime until a hero llama pops up or the up the percentage of hero drops at least to about 25%

Just read that. The rates are really bad. I'm just saving for the special llama's, the one today has been really good to me with 2 legendary weapons. The normal Llama's seem like a waste.

someone spent money on llama? but you get some good amount of in-game currency to not really spend lol.
There were people llamas in the alpha which guaranteed you a certain rarity hero. I imagine that's still a thing. yesterday it was weapons and it changes every 24? Hours.

I'd prefer to play this on PC but I'd also like the option to maybe play it on coop with my wife on 2 PS4's in the same house.
Whats the best option for purchasing it?
Buy the $80 version on PS4 to get 2 copies of the game. Does the `get the PC version from the PS4 version` work today or is this coming later?
Does the buy it once on PC, get a free PS4 code work today? And can this be shared on 2 PS4's (with other ps4 as primary with the account of the person who made the purchase)

Wait, I'm watching the Giant Bomb Unfinished, and it sounds like they confirmed that PC/PS4 cross-platform play was actually a thing? I thought it was just progression transfer.
Edit: Here's the video w/timestamp.

I read that a PC player can join a PS4 player if said PS4 player is on their Epic Games friends list and has linked their epic and playstation accounts.
Yeah, PC players on the Epic Games list can invite PS4 and Xbone gamers. I'm highly curious if they can invite one of each to the same game, because that would be a first.
It's not clear if it's fully implemented yet. Because it's one way right now.
I don't see why this wouldn't be your best bet. I've heard people getting upset that having one copy of the game didn't let them play on two PS4's at once, but buying the version that gives you a bonus copy (that you would give to your wife's account) should make that work.
And yes, the mechanism that links your PS4 and PC is already in the game. You need to make an account on Epic, then link your PSN account, and you will be good to go.
If you want to play with your wife, even if you are on account linked consoles, you will need two copies, so the Super Deluxe version is probably going to be your best bet.

It's cross buy. You link your psn account on epic's website and and it works on both. You probably will need 2 epic accounts and 2 psns.
really epic?

How do we get/use better walls? I think I only have wood but I've seen people using stone and metal walls.
Right click when you have the build menu up, it will cycle between which of the three resources you use to build that piece. You can use all three materials from the outset.

All wall types are available from the start with every character. Press lb/L1 (iirc) to select material type before you deploy.
You can however upgrade them to be stronger in the builders section of the skill tree.
Hope so, just read on reddit that a another poster spent 1500 bucks and got one mythic hero out of it. Funnily enough it was the one I wanted. Game working as intended lol. No way in hell I'm spending coins in non specific llamas.
What time do llamas rotate during the day?

So i decided to try an Outlander for the gathering bonuses, but i dont understand how people are seeing treasure through walls. Is it a skill I have to purchase or do I have to evolve him first?
I can't find copper ore at all anymore. I haven't gotten any in the last 6 missions. I have scoured every cave in every map in those missions and all they have is fucking quartz. I'm officially out of weapons because I can't craft anything and I don't get weapons either really.

check Map tab. they sometimes give you copper ore as a reward.
or ask people lol
i usually craft legendary,epic weapons and throw it on the ground for people.
