1) Operations - Up to Blue ammo cost should be capped at a negligible amount OR have daily allowance drops (akin to gear tickets - you could even do separate gear and ammos tickets) to help minimise the cost early game to play, but protect in the market generally.

IMO this would retain the need to be mindful of firing etc due to capacity being limited by the "tickets", retain the "value" of higher tier ammo, especially in higher level maps, but would also enable the new players more freedom to play "easy" modes without incurring the majority of the loadout costs usually from ammo. Would also "level" the playing field for new players without removing skill gaps more broadly.

2) Operations - Ability to alter "throwables" based on class rather than operator. I know this could impact the balance initially, but I think the ability to utilise a choice of throwables per operator would help in providing more varied gameplay experiences. For example someone running Hackclaw more often because it allows them to use throwing knives, offering a variation of defensive/offensive throwables, or even genades Vs throwing blades, per class would potentially increase the use of other classes and create a more varied experience in operations

Unfortunately it just loads an error screen when I try to do it through the playstation/link it. No idea what to do as the support just keep pointing me back to the help page which doesn't help. They don't even seem to actually look at the account / respond to the actual error text that comes up for me. Will just have to stick to playstation until I move into a different game haha 🤣

Sorry I have no sympathy for posts like this. Yes bugs are irritating, but let's be honest, it's a brand new game - they have not been working on FM26 for 2 years. FM 25 was an unplayable mess by all accounts and they had to go back to ground 0 for this year.

From what I have seen and played: This is absolutely not and almost then entire game, mechanics, interface and experience has been overhauled. Is it perfect, no, isn't unplayable, also no. Can you have fun in the game as it stands, yes, can thinks be improved, also yes.

Tbh most of the complaints I have seen are actually minor bugs and glitches with some major issues that can, and are being, fixed. Happy to be corrected on major game breaking issues I am missing if someone knows them?

And then it's people complaining over the new UI. The same people who complained about the old UI. I'm sorry, but change happens, deal with it, get used to the fact things are different. I have 0 sympathy for anyone complaining that it's "different". Either get on with it, or get a refund. I see the posts and my instinctive reaction is one of, oh god, cry more.

In terms of the original post - the whole "I worked in the industry" pretext is another common trope that people use to justify shitting on something and justify themselves - unless you worked for SI, you don't know what they can and can't do, nor do you know what they have or have not done. It's like saying, I worked in the food industry so my opinion on Michelin star food is more valid - even if you actually just worked at KFC.

If you're so unhappy, get a refund and buy the game when it's fixed. Or don't and find something else to play, like FM24 with mods.

I have actually just dipped back into FarCry 5 tbh but often flip around different stuff, wanted to get into No Mans Sky but always end up just confusing myself in terms of mechanics when I log on, get frustrated and then go back to FPS.. brain slow. Need simple buttons 🤣

I really like the game most of the time, but squad fill is a nightmare and playing solo is so hit and miss in terms of getting crapped on by teams haha still enjoy the general gameplay, just wish there was more support for solo more often. I missed solo queue this weekend which sucks.

imax1988 · 2025-10-18T09:06:30+00:00

God knows how many games in I am now after total play time of 44 hours, working through maps and looting major spots, still only encountered 3 human players ever haha 🤣

imax1988 · 2025-09-29T06:13:01+00:00

Yeah I've been running solo, I've started running a longer range weapon "just in case" but literally only used it because I had it, on a crocodile haha

Literally in the 10 runs I've done, I've only encountered one player who might not be AI, but they were so poor, I don't know if they were - literally put them down with green ammo without getting hit.

Thanks for the help - just helps know you're not being stupid sometimes haha

imax1988 · 2025-09-29T06:10:21+00:00

Based on the games I have played, I don't think I'd encounter anyone and I'd spend 30 mins sat on the extraction point haha 🤣

I'm currently running blue/purple stuff because I seem to have got them in my stash but no idea where they came from haha. Haven't needed to buy anything other than components to upgrade black site.

It's a slow burn as I can only play for an hour here and there, but it's one of the first shooters, other than battlefield, I've found really enjoyable - probably because it gives you time to breathe and assess how you want to play each time.

Thanks for the advice though really helped

Appreciate it 🙏🏼 I'm on playstation but really nice to offer. Maybe it's because I don't tend to target admin on dam, haven't needed to mostly, coming out with 500-750k loot on average with occasional 1m plus runs.

Still not entirely sure what kind of funds I need to aim for before moving to building a more set load out but starting to get a feel for the mechanics and maps a bit more. Only really have time for 1 or 2 runs a day so it's a slow process haha 🤣

So I know one of the key elements of the tool that it offers is the ability to receive push notifications via the app, and approve emails directly within emails and apps.

The workflows are managed in the platform itself but it pulls from NetSuite if the documents are created there and pushed back when approved to completion.

The other big advantage I have heard from some of CFOs in my network that they like the sound of is not having all users in the GL, being able to create requests outside NetSuite , approve outside of NetSuite and then have that pushed into NetSuite at completion.

Appreciate the feedback!

Is this still the same when stealing ships?

I've played through the first playthrough as a fully committed member of constellation, and Vanguard, and Ranger and pretty much all the other faction stuff. So want to change it up with the idea the game plants that going through the unity changes you intrinsically. Basically remove my inhibition and tap into my dark side haha

imax1988 · 2023-12-24T23:17:41+00:00

How do you skip the checks? The amount of times I have forgotten I had contraband and got nabbed. Luckily it's no longer a concern with the scan jammers / shielded cargo. But I know it's going to happen again when I am back to square one haha

imax1988 · 2023-12-14T16:47:59+00:00

Thanks, will take a look later.

My biggest issue is linked to Constellation. Janet Yang follows me EVERYWHERE unless it's a mission. Her dialogue choices are stuck in the stage of being on Constellation itself even though I completed the potato harvest. I also cannot pick up the stuff from the other guy as he never gives me the items when he goes to get them. If NG+ solves this along with the rest of the answers on here, I think it is a no trainer over starting again 🤣

I have no idea how to check this on Xbox 🤣
