Going into Terra Volta from IP can be awkward


Recommended Posts

My next mission was in Terra Volta (beat up 30 Freaks), so I went to the gate entrance and clicked one of the guards.

Nothing happened. I checked my cursor and realized maybe I clicked him wrong.

I moved it slightly downward. It didn't register.

I hovered my pointer over his chest, his kevlar, his belt. Still, nothing happened.

How about his shield? Nope.

Then, I tried his "lower part..."

You say this like it's a bad thing!

 

Seriously though, most of these guards - if not all of them - are like this, jokes have been made before.

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...

On a WESTPAC, a package check was expected at times 🙂

It's a dark helmet!

 

So in all seriousness, all of the hazard zone entrances are really awkward, and that's before we include anyone's crotch.  Adding a small "auto port me to this zone" like the freeways have just as a convenience for players would be great imo.  It's not like hazard zones are so hazardous that you can't just turn around and walk back out if you enter by accident.

 

I'm starting to think about new players again for this game, and this is definitely a "new player annoyance" thing imo.

Give those guards a break - they have a tough job. Like the two that guard the gate from Crey's Folly to the Rikti War Zone, staring down a literal army of Freakshow all day.
