Sliver of Hope

[Kasiornis]

So, we were able to get 8\19 slivers before, but with game final release, did devs actually add the rest of them into the game so we will be able to collect them all?

[snuggleform]

The max is still 8/19. In another thread I tried to ask dev about getting slivers from "important memories" but I haven't heard back from them.

Hey there,
while there are 19 Boons, there is no way to claim all of them. In total, it is possible to get 9. You get one when you "Game Over" for the first time, and then you get 1 (and in two cases 2) Slivers for cleansing Outposts.
I get that it looks irky when you have "8/19", especially when you're a completionist, so I've asked to change this in the future so it accurately reflects what you can achieve, but as this is low priority and changes to any localisation tend to be iffy, it might take a while or not happen at all.
Cheers,
Mina

Are you sure the max is 9? Everyone I've seen posted only has 8, and we've beaten survival. I only remember one outpost having 2 slivers.

It's actually looks pretty lame. Without proper explanation in-game any player who sees 8\19 would assume that there is more to find and will spend hours only to discover there is none in fact. You can change the counter to "0 of 9" for example to reflect the maximum possible amount as well as explanation that its not possible to get everything, players will compare it to number of nodes and make correct assumptions.

Without all of that its just messy.

Yes that is another suggestion we gave, but as I said, it's uncertain when we'll get around to change that.

I know that a lot of people have beaten survival without dying to the point of going "Game Over". Did you have to start over at any point?

If by "Game Over" you mean the ending then no, not yet, working on it. I suppose it should give you the 9th Sliver?

I've had to restart survival many times. And cleared all outposts. Only one outpost had 2 slivers from my recollection, and a number of other posters on this forum have also stated finding a maximum of 8, not nine. Again, I'm pretty sure I only remember one outpost giving 2 slivers, so that would make it 8.

You should have gotten 2 at the cargo ship and 2 at the shuttle.
I'll ask around to see if I can find out anything else.

[snuggleform]

I'm pretty sure it was the shuttle that only gave 1, might want to ask about that specifically. I remember expecting 2 because I thought later outposts just gave more slivers, but then I remmeber being disapponited when I only got 1.

Same. Only 7 without dying for gameover. Since you get infinite Flames in postgame, I think that completing the game to that point without having been awarded the game-over Sliver should award you that sliver.

Actually personally I think that Slivers of Hope should be re-obtainable in new reincarnations (except for the death sliver). Allow people to get all 19 if they play through 3 complete games, or if they just fail after the first outpost or two over and over. This would allow people who are actually struggling to get gradually stronger each time they fail, even if they can't complete more of the game, and it would allow people who want to do multiple playthroughs to unlock everything the ability to do that.

[snuggleform]

More progression wouldn't be a bad thing imo, I kinda want a reason to replay it after beating it more than just picking up one or two shards that I missed.

[DeadSilent]

What makes this even more funny is that it says X/19 slivers, but there are only 18 boons on the hope list. Unless that blue spot is a secret boon that unlocks after certain conditions are met.

Just did the shuttle outpost today and I can verify what others have stated - it only yields 1 sliver.
The wreck outpost is the only one that yields 2 slivers.

So total from outposts is 7 (which is what I ended at). If there's one from dying it's a complete total of 8, not nine.

There should be NG+ where we could continue getting more of those, up to max at NG+++ maybe. Which means we have to survive till the end of the story to be able to progress. Maybe even a higher tier equipment at some difficulty point, which doesn't transfer with slivers.

[snuggleform]

I wouldn't mind something like, if you select no boons at all, then you earn a boon at the end of the game.
