  1. I’m still trying to understand this iteration. I made it to the airfield etc, repaired the transmission tower there, found the direction finder and ventured out one evening and the beeping climaxed in a snowy field but nothing was there as I was standing over the rapid beep. I play with Xbox and I see there are more episodes, but they’re not available for me. What’s the purpose of this iteration? Only the scant Airfield is available. Can I do something in Survivor mode?
  2. The timber wolves are really not my problem, and I used the flashbangs getting to the powerplant. The black wolves are the problem. I lack the resources. Found lots of revolver bullets, but no revolver, and only a few rifle bullets.
  3. I’ve been playing since 2015 in Survivor and know all the tricks to ward off the basic wolf, but in this episode, I have 3 flares, one rifle with two bullets and some flares that don’t affect the charging wolf. Once the bullets are gone, after maybe killing one, a few steps later, more wolves. I’ve tried to skirt around them, and it works for a while but turn the corner and BAM! I get bloody and my health is week, but now I might have a flare left and I’m still nowhere near my destination and nightfall is coming…I’m doomed. This plays out 5 times and I’ll stick with Survival
  4. I’m gonna have to hold off for a while on Eps 4. Leaving the prison with very few resources, I might kill one wolf, but end up constantly never reaching my destination because of them. The torches and flares are not deterring them, they still attack. Not much fun.
  5. Usually in Survivor, that would be my logical choice. Guess I was beatup pretty good in the prison and got that sense knocked out of me….😊. Thanks
  6. I downloaded eps 4, the option for resume was in the mine with the fuses, which I had already completed all of eps 3, two years ago, but it loaded me up at the install fuses and had my character as Astrid….of which I was not. Anyway, went back into menu and called up eps 4. Eps 3 is not checked off as done even though I did.
  7. Spoilers . . . I was just tasked to go from the prison to the power plant, and I planned ahead by dropping stuff in the place I should, but every attempt had me leaving at night during a snowstorm with zero visability. Grasping in the dark freezing.
  8. More new building locations to explore on existing maps, and re-working where old building locations are to mix up the experience, making an old series of maps, new again.......oh, and can we get candles added as a light and passive heat source too?
  9. I agree. I feel the region is too scripted like it didn’t know if it should be part of Wintermute or the Survival Sandbox. The aggressive timber wolves make things too hostile in a scripted way. Just keep the regular wolves, regular bears and regular moose - not Wolf Blitzer
  10. I decided to have a look-see of this new map, but did it in Pilgrim to be on the safe side. I liked the map area, but being on Pilgrim, it did lack the challenge of the hunt so-to-speak, but I didn’t think the timber wolves would fully satisfy the challenge in a positive casual play. I liked the random bears in the other maps as well as the “normal wolves”, and moose, but the timbers just are a little too much caffeine for my liking to explore with some challenge. While there, I didn’t have the urge to make bullets or use the machinery because I had acquired what I needed in the other maps and I knew, like the others, I’d be moving on again. When I do play in my usual Voyager mode, I likely won’t venture to BI, because the risk is not worth the loss of my acquisitions from and going to other regions with the timbers overly “aggressing”. The only way to risk it, is to make it your first stop, then move on. Please don’t put the timber wolves in the other regions. Yeah, I’m a 🐓 .
  11. One more hitch. I’ve been to the tower countless times in “Survivor” in the 4 years playing, but I can’t seem to find it in the endless blizzard....even looking at the map. I’m climbing and climbing....
  12. I did restart and it went to 100%. But yes, there’s more....
  13. Me too. Am I stuck or just do other things until fixed?
  14. Thanks everyone. I heeded your advice on dealing with the timber wolves and kept my back to the wall like Wild Bill Hickok.
