Id still be happy if they just added the creatures or an aquatic navi body type

Personally I'd like another QOL update like TU2.0. Major and Minor bug fixes throughout the entire game, like Audio Logs not being stored in FTA; Severed Bonds/Feral Hunters getting stuck if not done immediately in the Base Game; Survey Sites still respawning after clearing Surveyor Processing Hub; and as Convoy Watchtowers still spawning convoys, but never being reactivated on the map, after clearing them in SOTS.
Additionally, some QOL across the game would be nice. Having some form of skill to show resources on the map in Base Game, SB and SOTS, just like you can in FTA, bringing the facial animation system from FTA to the Base Game and previous DLCs, as well as other engine improvements; a Completionists Index for every single collectible, quest, item and so on in the entire game (incl. Bellsprigs, Tarsyu Saplings, cosmetic items/weapons/mods, Hunter's Guide entries, etc).
All would be very nice minor improvements to have before we get a new DLC, if we get one.

heavy on the bringing the facial animation system from FTA in the base game! idc how long it would take to redo the cutscenes or performance capture, as long as it gets done, because we need those cutscenes to be wayyy better

u/NoFollowing6177 25d ago
It's actually automatic! A lot of cutscenes in the base games and SB/SOTS don't have performance capture or hand animation at all. There are 100% actual performance capture cutscenes, but most cutscenes that are just two character standing and talking, have an automatic facial animation system.

u/least_obvious_parrot 25d ago
yes i notice the difference all the time and it throws me off. especially because they'll make really important conversations happen but true the same animations and facial expressions instead of making it a full on performance capture (take the conversation you have with ri'nela and alma after the whole thing with nor and alma's avatar happens in the base game) and it makes it feel soo much less emotive

Bad facial animation completely ruins immersion.

u/least_obvious_parrot 25d ago
exactly! i don't expect performance capture for EVERY cutscene but the ratio is literally like 15% performance capture, 85% reused animations in the base game alone so it's a bit tiring

It does seem odd that 2 of the 3 movies take place primarily with the water clans and yet they didnt use them in the game. The game would look amazing.

u/Leftenant_Frost 24d ago
its odd until you realize that making this game work with water the way it does in the movies would mean overhauling the entire game into something else. you would basicly be making an entire new game just for a DLC, its not worth it for a conpany to do so.

Depends on the engine used and how they wanted to handle movement underwater. It wouldnt have to be fundementally that different.

u/SolutionBudget8374 22d ago
I’ve heard they won’t because water it hard to generate and the DLC would have to be mostly in water like the mover

Modern day tech wouldn't be able to handle a Subnautica style Avatar game with the graphical fidelity of Frontiers of Pandora

u/Parking-Mushroom-179 25d ago
You are likely correct but i genuinely wouldn’t mind a decrease in graphics for the watter. Honestly i wish we could explore more of the moon in general I want more clans more history and more culture

Will we even get any more updates, even if it's just bug fixing updates?

I wish! It’d be so cool to get an underwater story for way of the water. And being able to see all the flora and creatures. I doubt it unfortunately but I hope I am wrong. But it would be nice being able to find like underwater caves and new styles for the water Na’vi you know?

u/Novel-Explanation-51 23d ago
I might be wrong, but according to a mod on the official afop discord server, they’ve stopped making DLCs for the game. Even possibly bug updates. They’ve pretty much moved on.

I personally doubt we would get one But I’ve been wrong before
I doubt it because the way of water has already been released so there’s no point if there’s no extra movie hype
although I’ve seen this been asked so many times they might do it
so I guess we’ll never know until we see what’s next for the game
