This Warp Travel Mechanic... its just.. bad.

[nazgull2k1]

I mean, I get it. "All the pathways were lost in the warp!" blah blah blah. IDGAF. Im sick of getting main story quests and character quests for "Go to Walmart!" So I open the map.. and there's no friggen walmart anywhere to be found on it. and Im just running around like a complete moron trying to get new locations to "appear". Why would they need to APPEAR? I KNOW they EXIST. I know WHERE they are.. I just dont know the warp path to get there.

Just because construction is shutting down 64 East.. doesnt mean I completely forget where the city of Louisville, KY is FFS!

Now Im literally just stuck. I cant get any more locations to appear, my unexplained "Find New Pathways" button just has a 2 on it and it never changes.

Now I just got a new quest pop in.. "OH ROGUE TRADER! A MERCHANT SHIP IS UNDER ATTACK AND ITS GONNA DIE UNLESS YOU HELP!!! GET TO COSTCO AS FAST AS YOU CAN!"

... I already know where this is going.. yep. Nowhere on the map. Its a giant blank spot, and Im still stuck in the same area unable to get anywhere else.

This is BEYOND stupid.

That's a 40k thing. Warp travel is supposed to be like that, and you're supposed to be grateful if you arrive where wanted to go at some point within a century of when you set out, and not, say, a couple of hundred years into the past or the future.

I really dont care what "thing" it is. Im trying to play a game that requires me to be able to MOVE to places.

Nevermind get to places on a TIMER!!

Its stupid, there's no reason for it.

Skill issue.

Ironically its extremely well done i think. They captured Warhammer universe and Lore very well. In fact its basically the best W40K game i ever saw.

But the irony is that most people cant get into the W40K universe. Its to different from what people know from other games.

Dear OP, I understand your confusion, but your confusion comes from your lack of knowledge of the warhammer universe and the Lore, so, please, stay a while and listen.

You as a player know where they are, yes, but does your character? No, he does not, the routes and lanes and whatnots, are lost for a reason, because the Navigator of the Ship died, your new Navigator, needs to start from zero.

Traveling through the Universe is not done like in Star Trek for example, in the Warhammer Universe, you need three things to travel faster then light style.

The Emperors Astronomicon, that is like a beacon Navigators can see, throuhout the Universe and are able to map and plan Warproutes with.

You need a Navigator, which mind you, do not grow on trees and are rare and exceptional talented people.

A functioning Gellar Shield, believe me, you do not want to Warp Travel without a Gellar Field around your Ship, if you do not have one, well, you know the Movie Event Horizon by chance? Crank that up by 100 and you get what happens.

Thank you for your time listening friend, you may grab a lollipop on your way out.

You're part of why people think warhammer40k fans are "special" in the wrong way, clearly he has a navigator if he's navigating to other systems. You literally wrote all that to show you didn't read his post.

How much have you progressed the game?
Find new pathways button only happens when you visit a planer for the first time. The number 2 you mentioned indicates how much you can reduce the risk of a pathway (you can establish new pathway from any system to any other system, but that costs 3 and afterwards the path is initially red, so assume that you need to invest more points to make safer and usable).
What quest do you have and what system are you looking for?

[just.dont.do.it]

Oh look! They put up a pretty fun mechanic of (re)-discovering the map, lncuding the ability to outright make a path between systems if you so desire; and yet of course there are players that completely fail to comprehend that.

[The Seraph of Tomorrow]

I get what you mean, it'd be fine if they showed up as ??? until we discovered or paid for the information on that sector, but at least knowing where it is would be nice.

[Shadowkire]

I share some of the OP's opinions, but I like the warp travels and exploration overall. My issue is that we are asked to go find a planet, but not given any idea where on the map the planet can be found, or even what general region it is in.

This is baffling when you look at the blank sections of the map and see an area of it marked as the Winterscale domain, so we know that people are able to tell where systems are in relation to each other, if such a thing is going to be marked down.

When characters say we need to go find Janus, Dragonus, and Kiava Gamma they should be able to point to the map and indicate the general location of them.


If the game didn't artificially limit where you could explore it would have been 10-20 more hours before I finally spotted the system Kiava Gamma is in.

I am pretty sure they do. The systems with them have a Golden Skull in a triangle next to them.

It's alright mah man, you don't get the setting, we get it. May I suggest playing Starfield instead? Every location is one or 2 loading screens aways, you will never get lost that way.

That's their problem. If they don't like it, it's heresy and heretics must be purged

Why the hell would he play a game with a setting he doesn't like? Boggles

[FracWiggles]

Its literally the lore of the game setting you are playing. Its like complaining about lightsabers in a star wars game.

Are you burning through your navigation insights to make everything green? You shouldnt be. Yellow is good enough. Even orange is okay.

Also, i understand not liking consequences to your actions in this new gaming generation. You should just have your hand held the whole time. Dont problem solve. Just go to forums and complain.
