[@totoco2]

Disharmony is such a nice feature, tbh. It kinda sets player back into place, reminding what world they're in. Btw, mindless destruction of flora can also trigger it. So be a Na'vi, not an RDA ambassador :D

[@vec1954]

The purple circle filling up for the "permanent buffs" is actually for points of interest. It'll mark Ikran Gear Baskets, Sarentu Totems, Data Collectors and other things later in the game. But yes, most of the time it's either a Bellsprig or Tarsyu Sapling.

[@tiramisumochi4787]

I actually don’t want to change the gathering complexity at all… this is probably my favourite feature in the game, and having everything done so quickly is not the way I play these kind of games.

[@midnyghtson]

Same. I spent a full 2 hours gathering resources to craft some gear and loved every second of it. The hunt and then the gathering all works together for me.

[@Miztique]

Seriously, I've watched a couple videos similar to this and all of them point this out, a bit of a shame people want to get rid of arguably one of the most entertaining mechanic in the game. Same with the SID hacking.

[@mryesman4189]

You can’t get higher level items that way anyway. So you’ll never gather purple or yellow stuff taking the short cut

[@Miztique]

@@mryesman4189 That isn't true at all. You can still get fine superior or exquisite. It just depends on the conditions when you gather if you'll get the max amount of health, damage ect

[@HuntressGamer]

True,it takes 2 seconds to do it once you learn each plant direction,is fun. The painting memories though are a pain in the rear😂

[@AmeliaRomanov]

If you pet the ikran long enough the prompt and back out buttons disappear as you put your ikran to sleep from all the affection it's being given

[@MikeyDarksider]

So ima say this since i dont see anyone else mention it anywhere else in these videos.. If you are harvesting and accidentally ruin the pristine bonus by pulling hard in the wrong direction-CANCEL THE HARVEST->then RETRY and do it properly, you will still get the pristine bonus :)

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

I literally say that in this video...

[@MikeyDarksider]

Yeah, you are correct! Sorry i missed that.Just goes to show you are ahead of the other guys! Pro strats!@@SwanyPlaysGames

[@tenaciousdustin]

Great video! All the tips you covered and explained are extremely helpful! This game has a lot going on and not everything is fully explained. You have saved me and your other viewers a ton of headache and trial and error.

[@Ab_nak]

For harvesting you can also avoid messing up by rotating the item your harvesting and look for an area on the radial that pulls a little more then press to harvest, there is a slight sound queue as well to indicate that you found the right area

[@MacEat]

Thissss ^^^ and also! All material species types have the same "sweet spot!" So a certain type of moss will always be "top left and pull" or a certain fruit will always be "bottom left and pull" so it pays off to pay attention too!

[@Sunnyacres55]

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I found your site. I'm new to gaming (and senior) and was having SO much trouble with some of the stuff you talked about. No one, in any other videos I watched, had such great tips for beginners like me. I could not figure out the darn jumping so fell over and over... now I know why, "hold" the darn button. Why don't they tell that in the tutorials? Anyway, thank you SO much, now I think I can play this game much better and will be looking forward to anymore of this game you can post. Hacking the armoured guys would be nice, and it looked kinda like you can in the video, so I will try that as I get killed over and over and over... but eventually (3 hrs. for the towers) I get it done. Was gonna need therapy if I hadn't gotten your simple tricks/hints, plus my cardiologist would be upset watching me trying to play... Wonderful video!!!

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

Thanks so much for the kind comment. I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching.

[@stephenmeinhold5452]

i am an older gamer, my advice is get the Ikran ASAP by only doing the main missions then hunt down all the wellsprings and flowers to get more health and abiltys most of which are real game changers.

[@Sunnyacres55]

@@stephenmeinhold5452 Thanks, I'm having a love/hate relationship with this game. It can be so hard trying to locate the stuff, even using the Navi Sense. The map won't let me move on to other areas until I finish some of the missions which can be very hard if I have to battle RDA's, and there is the love/hate. ha Having a disability of essential tremors makes it very hard for me to hold the sights steady when aiming so it takes me hours to finish a battle, but eventually I get it done (come close to throwing that controller though). I just tried riding my Ikran into battle yesterday and that was interesting, they can't shoot me as easily. I wish getting skill points was a little easier, and finding stuff was a little easier, but I'm still liking the game. Horizon was the only one I've ever done, and I loved that one, it was easier for me.

[@stephenmeinhold5452]

@@Sunnyacres55 i get what you are saying and i had a very similer expreance so much so i stopped playing it for a week and thought WTF have i done it was £60.00. but i went back just to see what it was like, no pressure and wandered around aimlessly and some how i came across stuff tha made me stronger, as the RDA are no pushovers. so avoid them until you are at least at level six,or avoid them compleatly and just do some side missions as practise and leveling up as the weapons you get early on are patheticly week. check out joe raptor for more tips and just enjoy the world of pandora. all the best mate.

[@gemmacorinne9487]

The world of pandora that they created is absolutely stunning.

The ps5 controller adaptive Triggers and heptic feedback when SID hacking and plucking fruits is the most fun part in game. The triggers resistance and vibration on ur finger is so satisfying. Even using ps5 controller on PC works too. So u definitely don't want to turn on auto.

[@SwanyPlaysGames]

True but those on PC or Xbox don’t have the adaptive triggers.

​@@SwanyPlaysGamesplaying on PC with ps5 controller and it does work

[@Sunnyacres55]

I like the option with auto on because you can either use it or do the puzzle yourself. As a beginner, I like to play the easier ones, but the bigger and complicated ones, I get killed off while trying to do them, so I use the auto fill puzzle for those complicated ones... great to have choices if your new at gaming.

At this point, Swany's video got over 7000 clicks and only received about 370 👍 When it comes to showing appreciation or respecting other people's hard work & effort, I simply don't understand this kind of mentality. Show some respect, show some love. Thumbs up, Swany! 👌

[@ras6794]

I don’t like the tips to bypass the harvesting and hacking personally. I think that’s bad advice to a player so why would I like the video?

[@sylenzZ-80]

You call that bad advice? Oke. To each his own. What about the rest of the amount of valuable hints, tips, "advice" & sheer effort this creator packed in his video that people like you probably find useful and still manage to disapprove by not liking and simply clicking a single button to support a content creator delivering helpful content in general? Does it break a prong out of the crown? You're the type of typical disapproving scumbag in today's society.

There is a perk where you can get ‘free fast travel’ which means no energy expended. Get that as early as you can to avoid a lot of depletion.

[@Sunnyacres55]

Thank you, I tried this yesterday as I was already in the Upper Plains but it won't let me quite get there flying, the clouds come in and the bird doesn't want to fly in it and makes me turn back. Is there a level I have to be before I can get the free travel skill?

[@mikepatton8691]

Which perk is that specifically?

[@Sunnyacres55]

@@mikepatton8691 There was one of those "pink" glowing areas, just like when it shows where an "ancestor skill" is located, way up in the northern area of Upper Plains... when I hovered my cursor over it, it stated "free fast travel skill" so I placed a marker over it and tried to fly there to get it.

[@thebullhornstreamer4742]

Hard disagree when you say don't do side stuff before main stuff...This game is absolutely BRUTAL even on easy mode, it's way over-tuned. For those of us who can't use WEMOD or Cheat Engine we're stuck doing side missions until we get stronger, more gear.

select a mission then find it on the map, even though it has a purple plume on the map and you can see it with hunter vision its a pain, so mark it as well that way you can always know which direction from the compus at the top. as someone that has no sense of direction i find it very helpfull.

How can u re try harvesting if u mess up that means u pulled it out or whatever that means ur done

You can tell from squeezing the triggers. If the triggers vibrate during the process then it won't give you the bonus. So you can reset the bonus by just hitting the back button then try again once you know where the right direction is.

[@sebastienkemmel4486]

Before you buy, BEWARE - you can get locked out of the base/main game before you finish it! Lots of people report being unable to finish the main game, because at random times the game decides that you need the (paid!) DLC to continue and it will not allow you to continue your game unless you pay for the dlc! It has been like that since the first DLC came out, so I suspect that scam was their plan from the beginning and they do it on purpose!
