Samples are too hard to see

[Sparetime Gamer]

So im trying to gather samples.

The Game doesnt teach at all how

a) samples look like and b) where are they placed

Worse, through a destructive environment they can be ragdolled across the map, missplacing them where you woul usually find them or rather "learned the hard way" where to find them.

It can't be the intention of the devs that i run across a map mutliple times for over 20 minutes and have to give up with 7-8 of 15 samples.

A simple scan for a 10-20 meter radius when you open up your map would be helpful in spreading democracy. or something similar. anything...

If you put the same effort into searching as you do moaning there wouldnt be an issue

The more time I play, the more I wonder if my fellow higher level players are sprinting past good samples on purpose because they already have everything unlocked, and don't want the low level tagalong actually kicking ass to get anything.

Not just "They ran literally over an orange on their way out the base so I scooped it up myself" But ♥♥♥♥ that looks like deliberate sabotage.

"Hey guys, the purple samples are over there. pinned it-they are making a hard 90 degree turn to avoid the purple samples destination while I keep stalkers off the rookies back... what even the ♥♥♥♥"

But also, the detect range really is abysmal. "Okay there is my gun icon. Now where the ♥♥♥♥ did my samples land I checked my minimap and everything-" *finally gets within 3 feet and sees icon for sample pack clipped 3/4 of the way into the ground*

You're asking advice on something that isnt meant to be handed out. 800k players a day do the same thing. You're simply a typical moaning muppet. See your posts every day

Are you just afraid that if other players get destroyer bonuses, they will not only catch up with you, but surpass you?

We should want our fellow players to be swimming in loot, at least if you are not traitor to managed democracy.

Samples suck. They should glow, be immune to all physics, beep so I can hear when it's near and be autopick up.

Nothing in the game is easy to use. It's not supposed to be.

Just another reason robots are NOT harder than bugs. Some of their basic samples will not only have a more visible designs, but I get more frequent cases of "The sample is magically floating at eye level now that the base is destroyed."

Personally I'd appreciate the game marking them a bit further away. Like, I'm not expecting them to have a beacon from across the map, but as it stands I need to practically step on them before the game marks them as samples. Maybe 10 metres or so would be nice.

[BEEP!]

Yea they really should glow or extend the ramge the marker shows because straight up you have to be within spitting distance to see them & the whole gameplay elements of it being foggy or dusty really makes it hard to see some of them especially on bug planets where the samples straight up blend into the environment.

[NoahTheGuy]

borther they are supossed to be hard to find ... stop moaning

[Shifty Tomato]

My biggest problem with them is samples not getting picked up when I interact with them, and the game not registering all the samples I pick up if I pick them up to fast. Had a defense mission where I picked up 5/10 samples and it only registered 2 of them.
