Once again, into the chaos...
Hey guys, My crew decided to take a second shot at this game since the Galleleio patch and.. Oh boy. I'm not going int it all right now, but I thought I'd mention a few highlights;

There must be Ents on this planet because trees were jumping one of our teammates and he was constantly being concussed. I legit turned my back on him at one point, he walked outside the base, just one step, and a tree immediately fell on him. Completely missed the base and slammed into his skull.

At one point I heard a scream over voice chat; "I didnt know hurricanes can throw ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Javlins at me!"

Low point of the day; Spending many hours on the Homestead Construction mission to find out last minute our new characters couldnt complete because Gold ingots are level 20 and we were only 12-14. I thought there had been a second pass through the missions by now to fix this. Guess not. Bleh.

you could try to buid the short range radio to level to 20 level 20 is not bad to reach.

Short range radio does NOT work on missions. They are on a mission.

We're considering staying in the mission and grinding to 20, but its a bad first player experience, the quest being available right after the first two "tutorial" missions but doesnt indicate the minimum completion needed for Construction.

This primarily came down to my old squad didnt know about the data migration (despite me trying to get their attention to it multiple times) and they lost all their advanced characters and now have to start from scratch.

Previously I had been carrying a MXC Furnace with me but I left it in the station for this run, not knowing we'd have trouble. The MXC Furnace covers multiple tiers of metal without us needing to have points in anything and we'd gotten too reliant on it.

The team was still annoyed to find out the Rustic Cabin can be 99% completed with T1 and T2 items but oops, the statues need gold... for some reason...

Yeah, I don't know why they did this. You aren't the first person to run into it.

Be glad you didn't take Forsaken: recovery. It's a level 30+ (read: end game) mission. Completely out of place here.

They REALLY NEED a "min level to complete" based on tech *required* for mission objectives, but they don't have it, and it's jacking up new players with this.

I wish they would remove this requirement for this mission; then it would be a perfectly acceptable and level-appropriate mission for where it is (which would still leave Forsaken: recovery as odd man out, but that's just ONE mission.... right now there are 2...)

I see Pach the Space Kitty is still holding strong on the planet, however!

For extra fun, team leader decided to set the game to Hardcore, so we have people who are used to Normal wandering off on their own and dying on the edge of the map, being confused why they cant self revive.

You have to write an adventure page on this. :)

you don't have to stay in the mission you can load your character in a open world and level there and come back and continue your mission with higher level no?

Persistant worlds werent a thing last time we tried and I have no idea how this is going to work since the Data isnt centralized any more. I noticed on the join screen,t he mission is still projecting the levels we launched into the mission as (10-11) and doesnt update between days.

Team leader also decided to run us on Hardcore on the grounds we'd earn exp faster than on an outpost. They also have no experience in Styx and it was actually hard to tell where to start in general.

I can only half remember the Capsuleer I was acting out as in the previous years, I might have to start a new one. XD
