# jade skiff

wait since 20 is max level you cant unlock everything

tiny pond
tawny mirage
#

Maybe

#

That or it is to help with replay value/you can’t be overpowered

#

Forces you to think more about what you’re putting into each spec

weary sedge
#

maybe

tawny mirage
#

Well I’m definitely maxing out my rider skills

#

That’s of no debate

spare whale

For example mine love fish but my bf one love meat
And another player other type of food

#

true*

oblique night
#

Wow

lime hound
#

Hi

#

Variants

#

Its a couple i think

#

A male and a female and they was sleeping together

#

First sexual dimorphism i ever see in avatar

tired dagger
#

they don’t have any difference other than color, it’s probably like how ikrans have different colors not depending on their sex

tired dagger
#

???? they’re social animals

restive shore
#

i thought they was just chilling

tired dagger
lime hound
#

The white one was the First to notice danger and Go up

tired dagger
#

ok

lime hound
#

Which is prob the male

tired dagger
#

or it’s just closer to the player so it was able to notice lol

#

that’s how games work

lime hound
#

Are u really saying there is no behaviour in these animals

tired dagger
#

where did i say that

lime hound
#

What If im correct and you can find couples

tired dagger
#

i’m just explaining how games work and how npc awareness goes

lime hound
#

I mean they literally confirmed there Will be baby ikrans

tired dagger
#

where was that confirmed for the game 😭

lime hound
#

And that the baby ikran used here:

tired dagger
#

dude that’s not in game that’s from the singapore experience

lime hound
#

I know

#

They used this

#

They used their concept

#

To make this

#

This baby ikran

#

Do you want me to take a screenshot of the part of the vĆ­deo they say that

tired dagger
#

what does this have to do with the game

#

i don’t think it’s relevant to the topic we were talking about so no

torn drum
#

there is honestly no information on the sexual dimorphism on pandora i believe

tired dagger
#

the only sexual dimorphism we’ve seen is in the na’vi tbh

torn drum
#

theres really no difference outwardly that’s obvious, for those two animals we can’t really tell as for ikrans/titanothere/etc both male and female have bright colors

lime hound
torn drum
#

maybe in the future they will dive into that in a field guide book or something hopefully, i am quite interested in the differences honestly

lime hound
#

19:45

#

Its at 19:45

#

The confirmation

tired dagger
#

dude baby ikrans existing in canon does not mean they will be in the game

lime hound
#

Watch at 19:45

#

And Tell me after you watch

tired dagger
#

bro that’s not talking about the baby ikran 😭😭 that’s talking about a creature

torn drum
#

it could or could not be but i dont think the baby ikran for show is a confirmation lol, and he says species not ikran

tired dagger
#

a separate creature

torn drum
#

^

lime hound
#

Which creature is there that we never saw

torn drum
#

they didnt show

tired dagger
#

they didn’t say

torn drum
#

theres a lot of new creatures that have not been shown

lime hound
#

Then why they show ikran picture

torn drum
#

it shows the exhibition event

tired dagger
#

because that was an example of one of the experiences

#

yeah ^^

lime hound
#

Hmm

#

Btw we Will know what the white and red stegobeest

#

Are

#

If they are only variations or something else

#

In 2 days

#

Sorry

#

lime hound
#

We Saw 20 from 42 creatures

#

Which they are refusing to show us until release

torn drum
lime hound
#

What is the stegobeest

#

There is a creature called stegobeest

torn drum
#

sturmbeest?

lime hound
#

No

#

Stegobeest

torn drum
#

there is no creature called stegobeest, i think that was an unofficial name for the soundblast colossus

lime hound
#

True

#

Btw

#

Do you think we Will see herds of sturmbeest like in the movie

#

I Hope we will

torn drum
#

yes there are

lime hound
#

I dont wanna Hunt them when they are alone

torn drum
#

you can see them in some gameplay footage playthroughs

lime hound
#

Feels stupid

#

I hate to see solitary sturmbeests

#

In the gameplays

#

Feels stupid

#

They arent solitary creatures

#

Its a game and they are capable of making them move in herds

torn drum
#

yes they move together in the game

lime hound
#

In a gameplay i Saw 2

#

Moving together

#

Only 2 juveniles

#

Like jeez where is their mother

#

Maan i Hope there are juve hexapedes

#

May be so cute

#

Oh my

lime hound
#

Turtapedes Will be in the game

torn drum
#

could be

#

not sure

lime hound
#

Yes they live in rainforests

#

This Guy Will surely be

#

Its a crab that walks around the rainforest

#

Like a land crab

tired dagger
#

pretty sure some of the creatures from the pandorapedia are from the disneyworld attraction

#

lime hound
#

Even If they are from there

I think it's beautiful but it could "always look better" it's subjective it doesn't look bad at all. However you would think from a well-known studio they would go completely all out like BG3

To your question, immediately into game I have to slow walk to be able to interact. If I go to a plant to get item takes 30-40 sec to register. In combat, AI stand back up like I never fought them. Worsens if I run anywhere like the game is not keeping up. If I go to an automatic door takes another 30-60sec for it to register I’m there. Have to reload from main menu for progression in areas because it doesn’t register I am there or I fall through buildings as it still loads

nah not really, you should play far cry and use its bow, it is clean and realistic and got better mechanics. If this was combined with all the skills etc of the Avatar, it would have been the best game of the year.

The quality system for gathering I’m still trying to figure out. It seems to be based on probabilities. So the likely hood of you getting better materials is lower but you can and should be able to increase that chance by taking out RDA outposts to get rid of pollution

#

It also probably increases with good gathering techniques and conditions and hunting with clean and merciful kills

I want to enjoy this game, but I do have mental and physical challenges. The idea that the game doesn’t ā€œhold your handā€ in guiding you through it, makes me playing this game NOT enjoyable at all. I’m sorry if most of you disagree with me, I have the same right to ā€˜enjoy’ a game as a normal person. Why make it so stupidly difficult just to go from point A to point B? I’m sorry for venting. I was really looking forward to this game, I have always loved and enjoyed Ubisoft as a developer because they have made provisions to make their games accessible to all levels of skill. …except this one.

# old venture yeah i found it, but it allready killed my imersion... i hate linear games... i ...

I read your earlier posts said that you are commenting a lot about what you hated in this game. I dont know what you meant by linear games. Avatar The Game 2009 IS a linear game. I dont see linear aspect in this game. I'm sorry if I'm being rude but you sounded so hateful and despise. You should do some research before stating things are bad like you said earlier there is no storage and you are this šŸ¤ close to drop the game regarding you didn't found the way up. I dont see what you're after except just a haters trying to spread the fire. If not I'm very sorry coz i felt that way towards your words. I'm sorry for saying this coz i really love this game and I can't stand people saying bad things ALL THE WAY. You just can ignore this btw. 😁

old venture
# dark flicker I read your earlier posts said that you are commenting a lot about what you hate...

wtf.... i have to do research in what i like and not ... a linear game is a game were u cant go anywere, were u must do quests to enter other ways routes realms, even in ur char ur bound by the story, u cant do anything else as be the story hero, thats what i call linear, ur bond by the rules regardless what u want and do... u even dont have the choise were and how the mark looks like i personaly dislike most of tattos special those u have gained by birth...

if i say a company wich sells mostly ego shooters cant do a god RPG, actualy i bite myself throught, my words a year bevore Frontiers became true, "i hope the best i fear the worst"... and it exactly became true for me, for me its way to much RDA and fight stupid NPCs, and to less pandora and navi...
and yes i realy hate the start, in the bunker, because it reminded me on so many ego shoters, tell me u had freedom to travel through that base or wasnt it a linear one way u have to get rid of obstakles way ?

even if u play a navi, as example the ikran, it choises u not u choise him running through the others and aiming for the only one was a bit, diffrent then the movies, even if u can change color and look after that, but until u dont know..

old venture
# dark flicker I read your earlier posts said that you are commenting a lot about what you hate...

but i allready noticed the game has repetes boring features like the new diablo wich i droped very fast, like some npcs, have the same voice the same style even the same face, of navi in different camps repeation the same words, commenting about my cloth is once funny hearing it in other camps by the same looking guy is a bit repeating lol...

atm i can clearly say this game is like hogwards nice on the first sight but after u have finished it it contains no longlivety, i expected alot more from frontiers, yes i play it, but for me its allready clear once i have played it through i go back to games like moded conan exiles, Ark, subnautica, wich offers alot more long play fun.. and watch subnautica it looks underwater like Pandora, while frontiers u have the feeling u dive through brackwater, even if all RDA souroundings are gone....

the only thing wich makes me play frontiers atm is the curiosity whats behind the next stone, what comes next whats new, and how does it look like, cuz i havent been everywere on the map and thats something i love to play since LineageII explore and see new stuff, maybe as the first one ... and frontiers the game wasnt even released there were people allready roll up the hole map wich was a bit lol for me... well at least i can say frontiers will hold me a little bit longer then the new diablo, diablo lacks in beauty of the world well i can clearly say frontiers looks alot better, but when i use my navi sense, and see a plant wich is explained to be best harvested at night and i cant do anything not even harvest it.. its .. well.. imersionbreaking.

well i mostly explore the game inside from inside and what it offers me without seeking hints in forums
so my speak about the game is what i found inside and how it appeals to me..

comming back to the hatefull speach, call it Language Barrier, i may be able to speak englisch but for me it has no color cuz iam not be able to see if it sound harsch or not

Thanks for clearing the facts to me. As what you said i agree. Hopefully they will come with another immersive and rich Avatar games in future

tawny mirage
# old venture but i allready noticed the game has repetes boring features like the new diablo ...

I understand your criticism. The reason why the game’s story is more linear is to keep the game cannon with the movies events. Giving the player that much choice in a story and trying to make that cannon would be a big mess to try and sort out and is a huge undertaking for a game developer to do. Moreover in regards to your complaints about the ikran Lightstorm which is James Cameron’s studio approved of how that played out. Everything in the game require their approval which is why it took so long for this game to come out. The game also never promised to be an RPG either, it states it’s a first person action adventure game. Additionally, of a game this scope and size what they have managed to do is impressive from a technical standpoint. However, I do agree that the NPCs are shallow and certainly not it’s strong point. As for the plants having only certain conditions in which you can harvest them wasn’t immersion breaking for me. It actually requires you to think about what your harvesting and to aim for better quality. Don’t get me wrong the crafting system has its flaws and is by no means perfect but I would hardly say having specific conditions that are best to harvest something is immersion breaking. That is very similar to how real world plant and crop harvests work. Overall, I understand if you aren’t enjoying this game and that’s fine you’re entitled to your own preferences. But, going into it you already had an attitude of ā€œI hope this game isn’t bad but I fear for the worstā€ so it became a self fulfilling prophecy for you. And I do understand your criticisms of the game, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say the game has ā€œno longevity.ā€ You may not like the game but most reception of the game has been positive and the general audience, myself included, also enjoys it. I understand that this game may not give you that level of freedom you wanted but they never promised the player that to begin with and they stated multiple times the game’s story is cannon.

tawny mirage
#

But I do understand where you are coming from. I’m sorry that you are disappointed and aren’t enjoying the game. But it seems like you had expectations going in for this that either weren’t realistic or you went in thinking the game was bad and thus your own perception made you hyper aware of the game’s flaws and less aware of the game’s strengths. No game is perfect and game’s like Baldur’s Gate 3 is an RPG that gives you a lot of freedom is very complex and is a technical feat in of itself. I think it’s healthy to go in with no expectations at all if possible with playing something and giving it a fair chance. But I do have to agree with Aby a little bit that you have been coming off as very hyper critical of every little thing. And it just comes off like because the game didn’t fulfill all of your expectations instead of acknowledging it’s strengths as well as it’s flaws it’s all been about the negative. But don’t get me wrong I think some of the criticisms you have had are valid. And I by no means think the game is perfect either, but I don’t think the game is bad or no longevity. Maybe not for you personally but I definitely see this game as one of my comfort games. But I do think this game has laid a solid foundation and definitely has potential for future growth.

honestly i died alot at the beginning until i fould out the flaws of the NPC RDA AI , so i mostly hide in the back take lonly soldiers with my bow until only the big guys are left, then i throw in a few explosives and done. while i dont even touch a enemy its just seek a high point and aim, all npcs have a walk area they dont leave, if u lure them to them to that region they stay angry but no longer following u, most the time they start jumping between a save place and open ground were u only need to time ur arrows, or in may cases ur so far that they cant detect from were the arrow came, the only ones for me wich are harder, are those with the livebeam of the Thanatos, and like him every mistake is ur last cuz theyr punisment is one hit certain death.... most hated by me the sharpshooters wich aim and kill u in one shot, while u dont even have seen them even with the navi sence they can pinpoints through nature like its not exiting while its for u a Wall of plants and u can even see were they are.. honestly iam a navi i should see more then them i should have more range in combat then them... but here u see npc and programming are not very well ballanced, and infight close range i dont like cuz who wants to look like a swiz cheese... if not one not two not three but 7+ gatling guns fire in ur direction while not hiting the own friends... friendly fire is unknown to the rda

Despite the challenges🄱it's great that this game got better after the Aranae hometree and the ikran

old venture
#

today i entered a big rda complex with alot stong rda fighters, i think i entered that complex way to early, but as it stoods on the ground with the hometree, and i have done most of the surounding exploration , i gave it a try and i wasnt expecting that many doors that close behind u once ur inside, the many stages have to be mastered, to walz through, Eogoshooter Realm after, realm filled with enemys wich appear from nowere, with the motto stage cleared her the next wave...

after the game got better after the Aranae hometree and the ikran, thats a downfall back to the start, atleast u could grab some more items up then on the start were u could nothing, and were u crawl out of the rda Base, lame egoshooter crawl shot and collect items from ground grind urself through...

plus that base has lots of graphical bugs and gaps, were u fall though the roof, stuck on items or enemys that can shot through walls while u cant... cant say i enjoyed that part so far very much, because that plays exactly like all other Epic and Ubisoft Egoshooter games, and thats not what i expected from Frontiers... actualy i was be able to destroy the laser, and it didnt ended there, so i moved further from one to the next egoshootergrinder to the next... and iam still not of this base out cuz its not easy thing because of my low lvl wich is 7 atm, and this base ist ment for lvl 20..

what sadens me most, are those close behind u walls wich prevent u gather stuff back, so u have the option: loose all materials allready spend and wasted inside and come in later, or grind urself out. and thats were i stuck atm, i was be able to shut down the laser but each of the follow stages set u back to start the grind that laser round again and again and again, if u got a lucky hit through walls from them its super frustrating @restive shore
i just wounder how many more stages i have to master until i can get out of this stupid Egogrindershooterdungeon

Oh l see

and this is the worst thing on everything as i started it, i had over 100 spareparts, now i noticed i had only 10 left, and now i understand why, everytime i got killed the map resets and all placed mines go away to, but ur char is not set back its allways saved so with everytime i didnt made it i lose spareparts and now i must leave this idiotic grinderdungeon wihout be able cleared it cuz i lost all my spareparts in the savegame prozess... this takes my mood for this game to ground zero... game is on autosave but every save is overridden so no go back to the point i started and all the spareparts are lost gosh how i hate programming thats done like that...

brave ivy
tawny mirage
# old venture today i entered a big rda complex with alot stong rda fighters, i think i entere...

If you used your Navi senses it would have high lighted the enemies showing they are elite or out of your level range. Someone in chat was actually able to beat that base at your level but they had to be super stealthy to do so. While it’s not impossible to do it you weren’t meant to go there at your current level. It’s not the game’s fault you went to a place under leveled. I understand you’re frustrated and I hate to be this guy but again it’s not a problem with the game. The whole point of the level system is to get you to slow down and enjoy the game. But tbh following the main story I’ve barely had any problems keeping up with the recommended level requirements.

#

I mean I would have personally noticed if enemies were barely taking damage that something was up.

#

I swear that every time you talk about the game it’s goes downhill real quick. Like every time it’s an attitude of ā€œthe game sucks and here’s whyā€ and I’m sitting here thinking like ā€œok why are you playing something that you seem to hate?ā€ It makes no sense to me. But also the attitude you’re taking with this game is always negative. And in this case instead of reflecting on your mistakes you made as a player and taking the L you blame the game. If you aren’t enjoying the game I’m sorry to hear that, but don’t subject yourself to play something you clearly aren’t enjoying.

#

Don’t get me wrong you are entitled to your own opinion and I think it is good to give feedback over a game, but this complaint in particular comes of as very ā€œrage quitā€ kind of attitude.

#

But what is a problem with the game and not you is being shot through the walls and the bugs. So that I definitely understand the frustration and that is a very valid complaint.

old venture
#

this game just impresses me more and more yes i noticed the lvl of the base is higher but what i not noticed or way to late noticed was i was loosing my spare parts, cuz of reset the floor lvl, for me this is not a reset if the hole room and the rooms after that resets to zero, and its eating ur recurces away by not reset ur char to to the moment u entered the room...

#

and well ich just share my impression and even if u dont understand my way playing the game its a way i do play it and i share what happens if u do it like that to show bugs and problems for the devs to fix, wich will be not fixed if everyone only wears the pink glases..

tawny mirage
# old venture and well ich just share my impression and even if u dont understand my way playi...

Like I said you had a valid complaint with the bugs you experienced. And I never said there was anything wrong with giving feedback on said issues as I think that is a good thing to do. If you have an issue with the game having a penalty for when you die I’m sorry to say most games do as an incentive to be careful. At this point it’s time to take a step back, take a deep breath, accept the loss, and move on.

# old venture haha what do u think i did but fighting those bugs takes away alot wind in the s...

I sorta understand. I experienced the same bug with a story mission in the clouded forest last night and died twice because of it but I was still able to get through it without souring my mood towards the game. But that’s just cause I’ve played games that literally are a far more buggy mess (Ark, Skyrim, oblivion) and still have a great time with them. I also enjoy souls like games cause I’m secretly a masochist with games like that I guess and genuinely enjoy the punishing aspects of them. That still doesn’t excuse this particular bug but the devs shouldn’t have any problem patching that out. But again I understand the frustration but sometimes you really just gotta take things in stride or go with the flow so to speak. I try not to let games get to me so much to where I get pissy. If I feel myself getting that worked up over a game (which isn’t very often) that’s my cue to take a step back and take a break for awhile to cool off. Don’t let games have that kind of emotional power over you.

#

But again if you are really hating the time you are spending in this game then don’t force yourself to play it if you aren’t enjoying it. If you really dislike it as much as you’ve expressed (again that’s just how it comes off to me maybe I’m wrong so correct me if I am) then stop playing it and get your money back if you can. Video games are meant to be something you enjoy doing, not a job or a miserable grind. Play stuff you enjoy playing. But to make it clear I’m not saying don’t give feedback to the devs. It’s good to bring things, especially this bug in particular to their attention. I would suggest submitting a support ticket so that they know of the issue. Once you do that the ball is in their court as the developer. Also keep in mind the studio might have given the devs time off since they just released the game and it’s close to the holidays. Plus they have been working on it for 7 years (at least) now so I think it’s fair for them to get a rest break.

My honest impression of the game is this:

I feel Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is a great game with great graphics and an impressively sized map to explore. I feel that the tribes depicted are great! I love their themes and designs! It has a great story plot and such as well.

However, I have completed many of the side stuff like the Sarentu totems and maxed out my skill trees. I also got all my ancestors skills as well and now it's mainly just side quests at this point. My issue is that the RDA bases are sort of just copy and pasted. I also fear that after all the RDA bases are done there will be a feeling of nothing left to do.

I hope that in the future we will get something like random RDA raids in villages and outposts. I also hope that we get more areas to explore and visit

I'd love to see the NPCs stand up for themselves, and fight back against the RDA. There are lots of hunters with bows, but nothing happens when there's danger close by. It would be so nice if the na'vi reacted to their environment.

No na'vi move in the forest, they are always seated.

#

And even if they get hit by grenades (yes, I've tried lol) they don't react at all.

I sometimes feel alone in the face of danger. And I don't understand the point of updating the resistance laboratories if we don't see any help from the resistance.

What I saw is, they want to see how well Avatar is when turned to game. And tbh from my view, it's bad for them to make this PG13, as players who play this game is already 18+ By make it PG13 there is not much you can do in game. There's no melee takedowns, even a knife kills. No in depth stealth mechanic. I felt the stealth mechanic is cringy. Hahaha

#

But I loved to be able to felt how it is living in Pandora

#

I felt that Ubisoft and Lightstorm can make this game better than this.

tawny mirage
# dark flicker I felt that Ubisoft and Lightstorm can make this game better than this.

I think that is a fair take. They definitely limited themselves by trying to do a rated T rating for this game but I would bet you Disney had something to do with that. I do agree they should’ve added for depth to the stealth. The game definitely suffered from the extreme collab they had with Lightstorm and because of that I think because it took SO long for Massive to develop literally any asset for the game they probably got burnt out and were trying to just get this game to release already. I mean this game was in development for 7 years at least which is a very long time for game development. They were probably afraid of this game getting lost in development limbo. But I do think that for what it’s worth what they’ve managed to do is very impressive from a technical standpoint. I definitely think going forward they have a solid foundation to build on with this game if they decide to make another game or to add updates to flesh out this one. I hope that they continue to support this game and also try adding features like stealth takedowns if possible in the future. I think this game has a lot of potential if they continue to add more content to it. But by no means is this a bad game. I think this game is probably the best Ubisoft game to come out in a long time. I just think they got set back a lot with the collab with Lightstorm unfortunately and it took much more of their focus away from certain gameplay aspects like lack of melee combat and stealth.
