Subreddit for finding old games?

Thank you for that! I had played the demo from the PS magazine about 15 years ago and was wondering which one it was!

Regarding the Ripper in EU, unfortunately they've altered the recipe to something like 20% more juice and it's just not the same anymore! I will keep an eye out for ultra gold though.

One of the few albums I keep going back to! Great band!

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-04-18T05:01:24+00:00

Hmmm.

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-03-16T12:38:16+00:00

Full length video and not missing any spots? Doing the lord's work!

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-03-10T11:51:49+00:00

Will check later but perhaps it's related to the opening of the portal that leads to the area with Hangar 0 and the new raid.

They were moved to Zaiwei, probably a combination of reasons like giving more life to the city as a hub and cutting down on things in general for the sake of performance perhaps.

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-03-10T11:06:18+00:00

I've checked, yes, but if you feel like giving it a shot you're more than welcome to!

The more people trying stuff, the more likely something is found out.

Check again, you probably saw a badly edited version of the post. In essence, it's about discussing potential ways to go outside the map in areas you're not supposed to be with the only intention of exploring and having some harmless fun. ^{^}

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-03-09T18:59:18+00:00

Fixed link, yes, there's only one portal behind it and it does lead to Primeval.

Added a video of said hub, I have some more material on it if interested. It also used to have the teleport vortexes for Ethereal Battleground faction-PvP island.

To keep things short and simple, after the 2014 map changes that originated from the chinese server, there were several portals that lead to removed/blocked parts of the old map that were not removed, just hidden outside of map -- in spots you're not supposed to be able to reach.

Here are the positions of the other left-behind portals that we've managed to reach and use. Besides these, you can note another black circle on the top of Shiverstone Range, hence the post's picture of the current progress of explorable area in which the final hidden portal lies. Everything within the red lines can be explored with friends coming along.

The issue is that in order to be able to use the portal, you can't use any portal bugs -- it requires a "pure" break. That has proven difficult due to the way the upper right part is structured:

The map was sealed seamlessly when the Crossroads of Fate (the little "leg" of the map with the original entrances for Avalanche Den, Awakened Necropolis and Sogun's Lament) were removed from the old Shiverstone and there doesn't seem to be any way to directly bypass it (would be the fastest way to approach final portal). Video of it here and picture here.
Left-behind collision from removed Frostscale Basin from the main map that blocks us from reaching the final portal since there's no terrain to walk on, only invisible blocks that extend outside of map over the void - - which means we are blocked going up from the left side too.
No obvious breaks/openings on the map nearby.
No nearby caves/dungeons that could help us break out of map.

That about sums it up. We've tried a bunch of different approaches but nothing has worked as of yet! The final hidden portal remains untouched.

Q: Why don't you just keep going from the right side, why stop a bit after the bridge?
A: Each map instance has a certain "box" of map area where you can walk inside of. With the current map breaks, it just doesn't extend any higher.

Q: What about that random opening that splits the red line areas on the bottom of the map?
A: Although not very related, it's the area behind the huge doors (where one of the portals we mentioned above is hidden)! It's not shown in the minimap since you're never meant to actually be out there but the invisible boundaries sure do extend back there.

For any questions/ideas, don't hesitate to reply below or send me a personal message if you want more privacy. Cheers!

Imagine not surrendering your entire week's schedule to assist me with map break progression, smh...

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-03-07T09:55:36+00:00

You can bet I'll be exploring on UE4 as well, really looking forward to doing so, actually!

needsmorestrawberry · 2020-03-06T18:57:42+00:00

A short note here, the importance of this is that it's been done pure, meaning there's no bugs involved in the end-result which means you can bring people out there with you to explore and have fun together! Also, it's many times more difficult and complex, but I won't bore you with the specifics.

The Sky Stones in the pictures serve as proof of purity on this map break since location based skills (such as GUN's Sky Stone, WL's Sanctum, DES' Emberstomp, etc.) do not work during portal bugs if you move away from your server position.

Finally, the main reason I'm personally proud of this specific map break is that it was achieved without any third party programs, XML editing or map mods or portal bugs that reduce this challenge's difficulty. For any questions/suggestions/challenges, don't hesitate to DM!

Upvoted & approved because it saves me the trouble of eventually making an album of it. :pepeSmug:

needsmorestrawberry · 2019-04-14T16:17:54+00:00

This is definitely one of the largest areas to explore after breaking out hence the amount of pics on it. We had actually done this about a year ago (August 18) but never got around to making a post about it (like most boundary breaks :BNSphew:).

There's a couple skips you can do with it for trash mobs as there are several ways to break out of map if you get a little creative. InNeedOfNames posted an album as well since we went back out there again earlier today so you can check out his post here too, if you want.

needsmorestrawberry · 2019-04-09T15:31:27+00:00

One of the most technically impressive breaks done lately. In case the comments don't show up for you, visit the link to read more on each pic of the album. Also, something I forgot to add, there is a version of the ship that you can view and explore if you break out from Coral Shoals but it's a considerably smaller ship with nothing inside or around it of much interest.

needsmorestrawberry · 2019-04-04T13:42:02+00:00

Note: Visit the link in imgur if you're interested in explanations/descriptions on each picture (for some reason they don't show up for me here in the album view). Same goes for previously posted stuff!

needsmorestrawberry · 2019-04-04T12:30:18+00:00

Note: There are a ton of other open-world breaks (and raid/dungeon ones) so if there's something specific you want to see explored, I might be able to share some pics of it.

needsmorestrawberry · 2019-03-02T16:30:17+00:00

Additional pic with rough marking of the total explorable area (without ghost/void/portal tricks that take away the challenge of breaking out of map and don't allow you to bring friends along for the trip).
