Here are additional screenshots to go with my previous post, comparing footprints with other legendary weapons and their footprints. Again, The Predator hardly shows up at all, in fact in these pics no footprints show up. This isn’t what we were told we would get from a legendary weapon.
Ever since getting The Predator for my engineer I have noticed that it is the only class where the footsteps from the legendary weapon hardly show up at all, over any terrain. It is very sad that this isn’t even a forth of what the other top purple weapons produce.
Part of the fun is having that visual aesthetic that is supposed to be on every legendary weapon. Most footsteps with other legendary weapons will show for about 20 steps, nice and bold, but at best with The Predator there are 3 and they are normally very subdued. My pictures will illustrate in snow where they should be very easy to see. These pics illustrate the best it gets, which is not what we see with any other legendary. Big bummer.
There are many finishers in the game now, but there is one in particular I would love to have and see. Being that my background is in mathematics, I would love to have a finisher with a sign that reads “You have just been divided by zero.” Simple, no animations, just a sign. The obvious meaning here is that you can’t divide by zero therefore the dead player has failed by being pinned with the finisher.
Many of you already know this trick but for those who don’t, here you go……
If bag space is becoming an issue while you are out and about, you can right click on any of the crafting materials and the first option is “Deposit collectibles”. This drops all the trinkets, venom sacs, totems, bones, etc. into your bank collectible slots, opening up valuable bag space to continue on.
I have found a few places now that are hidden yet nothing is there in several zones. I think maybe they are areas that were once going to have a chest or a jump quest but never got fully developed. Still fun to find them, there are quite a few.
They took the solo play out of the higher end zones, especially Orr, which really sucks. Running around the Risen areas is rough as you always get attacked by multiple baddies. The most frustrating thing in the higher level areas would be the money, incoming and outgoing. Events pay next to nothing (1s 80c average) but way points are almost the same amount. Don’t die anywhere because you will get the repair bill and the way point fee adding up to roughly 5s depending upon your gear. Sure we get drops to sell but those certainly aren’t scaled to the higher levels. Level 80, in my opinion has been a huge let down overall. Was fun getting there but it’s not nearly as much fun now.
Since hitting 80 with my ranger I have noticed that the drop rates for things (crafting materials like totems, poison sac’s, bones, etc.) while roaming around solo killing things drops to nothing. Is this by design to keep the bot farmers in check? The problem I have with it is that it forces me into groups. Before level 80 the drops were frequent.
I am certainly not opposed to running with others but sometimes my schedule doesn’t allow that, and I just want to go kill stuff for 30mins or so. Sucks not being able to make any money or gain any items this way, outside of an event. Or, maybe I only need 4 more large bones for crafting and I don’t want to purchase them, I can’t just go out and hunt for them.
Great game, loads of fun, just an observation I have made since hitting 80 about the drops.
