Machines are very much different than the machines we all are familiar

.]] We know that Araman was originally a member of the proto-tribe that would become the Nora, which could be referring to ELEUTHIA-9, being a "cave" within All-Mother Mountain. I realise that the shaman telling Banukai's story is far more likely to be referring to the "temple built from sparkling ice," but I feel that this is an interesting choice of words when he uses much more descriptive words for the temple earlier in the story.

The Banuk culture of weraks, as well as the Ravenous Tribe, had been established by the time of Banukai's story. I'm no expert in how culture develops, but I imagine it would probably take a significant amount of time for them to develop, especially having started from nothing within a single generation.

]] The rumors were true, Horizon Zero Dawn really is getting a remaster.

I have to admit, I'm very excited about it, the trailer looks incredible! My personal favourite improvement seen so far is child Aloy's new look. She always looked really strange to me (her face looks especially off when she's watching the Happy Birthday Isaac! datapoint), but the new child Aloy looks amazing!

I recently was playing some HZD, and the awkwardness of the cutscenes/discussions is honestly quite a difficult thing to adjust to again after seeing how things were improved in The Frozen Wilds, even more so after Horizon Forbidden West, so I'm very excited to see how the one-to-one discussions have been improved!

However, in my experience, remasters can sometimes be a…

Here's my ideas as to what details the game following Horizon Forbidden West could contain, which I will address as Horizon III in this blog post.

Looking at Sylens' map that he was looking over during and after Epilogue, there are four markers across the United States and Canada, indicating the locations of different companies that Londra believed could hold technology that could be used against Nemesis, It could be a sweet introductory mission for Horizon III, (the Horizon III equivalent of Lessons of the Wild and Reach for the Stars), where Aloy is teaching Itamen how to hunt.

As for what will happen in Horizon III, I can't say for sure. Anything I've said above could end up being totally correct, or completely wrong. But either way, I've been so…

^{I apologise, I've never actually written a blog post on Wikia before, so please excuse any awkwardness with it. xD} .]] I felt like making a post documenting my thoughts about what could happen in the somewhat near future of the tribes of Horizon with the knowledge of APOLLO reintroduced to them, my take on Random Side Quest's recent video about this very topic. I highly recommend his videos, I often have them on in the background while working on this wiki. :)

.]] I think something worth bringing up first is that the Nora are noted to be on the brink of extinction, xD

I’m here

This is just for the badge: ignore this

Now let’s go back in time a little bit. Back to when the Carja took Sunfall from the Shadow Carja. Rhya put on her helmet and watched the Sun-Priests fight for power. Her disguise was genius, as women are barred from serving the Carja or Carja in Shadow military. She barely spoke, and when she did, it was in a gruff voice. Her helmet covered most features, and soldiers normally wear chest armor. She took her shift in a watchtower, and spotted Sun Carja soldiers marching to Sunfall. Without Helis, she was the Carja in Shadow’s best, rising easily to the rank of Kestrel. She rallied the army and they marched out to intercept. The war began. Outnumbered, but not outgeared, the Carja in Shadow quickly defeated the first wave of Sun Carja. The …

Kamavad raced across the farthest reaches of the Sundom and to Barren Light. “I’m sorry, but I’m not opening this gate,” the commander yelled down at Kamavad. “For your information, I took down a Sawtooth that ripped some of our best soldiers in Meridian while you were guarding your little gate here,” he yelled back. After that, a black armored Behemoth smashed through the gate. Kamavad pulled out his spear and dodged the charging machine. Then, he sliced at its side, knocking it down. He then got on his Charger and rode off into No Man’s Land.

Kamavad arrived at a gate guarded by two Tenakth soldiers. “What business does a Carja have here in the West,” One of them said. They both pulled out their spears in threat. “Hold on, I’m not looking…

I have just started looking at the Fandom website and have noticed the Item's collectables tab hasn't been updated for Forbidden West e.g with the Vantage Points or the God of War collectables. Is this intentional keeping it only to HZD and is the other stuff somewhere else or should I start filling in the stuff?

So remember my fanfic I started, well, I've taken a break in favor of Zelda and The Legend of MrSmartguy (my Zelda fanfic) I hope to release the rest soon but I just wanted to update y'all.

Hi folks!

As you may have seen, Fandom is hosting their Community Connect event this weekend in California. This event brings Fandom representatives and select community members together in-person for news and discussions. They are offering the opportunity to view today’s events via livestream from 9am to 6pm PDT. You can register for the stream on Eventbrite. Fandom posted a sneak peek online earlier this month with more details on what participants and viewers can expect.

I’m very happy to say that our very own @Bearborg was invited to attend in-person, a testament to how successfully our community has grown and the clear potential we have for the future. All of your work has not gone unnoticed... even by Fandom! I'm sending a big collecti…

The skilled Carja patrol Kamavad made his way through the wet, dense, and vast jungles of The Jewel. He had only a few men to aid him. When they approached a cliff, they heard deep, loud footsteps. "Get to the grass," Kamavad ordered. They all ducked into a rather large patch of tall grass. After that, their prey revealed itself. Kamavad leapt at the Sawtooth, but it clawed him from the air. After Kamavad landed, his men jumped at the powerful machine. However, it clawed them to shreds before they could land a blow. Kamavad recovered and ran to Meridian with the Sawtooth on his heels. He weaved his way through a herd of Chargers and lost it. He made it safe to Meridian, but he would not rest until the Sawtooth, deemed Fleshmouth, was defea…

I was adding the pages for Burrower Circulator/Primary Nerve etc. And I went back to the Burrower Page and noticed the categories had been repeated, so it said: Categories, Mu Override, Machines, Mu Override, Machines, you get the idea. I can't remove these extra categories so I just wanted to point them out to anyone who can.

Edit: On closer inspection, I realised this also applied to other machine pages, including Watcher.

Quick small question I can't figure out how to comment on blog posts. I'm on a Windows 10. Previously I thought blog posts didn't allow comments, but then I saw some on mine. I have been trying for a while but I can't figure out how to comment. I'm spectacularly bad at technology so maybe it's just that.

Edit: Bearborg I am using Chrome

Its been more than a month since HFW released, and nearly all the pages are behind. Most of the new machines are missing loot and component tables, which we now have exact numbers for, every new machine is still a stub, the formatting is inconsistent with HZD machines and between HFW machines. none of the five new heavy weapons even have stub pages yet, many main quests are still missing their own pages, and many, many pages are missing spoiler tags.

What I'm saying is, we have some work to get done, and I say its about time we get doing it.

Should we separate the Bellowback pages or combine them into one?

Alright, brain, I have a question for you-

Why do I remember every single lore detail of Horizon in excruciating detail-

but I don't remember the function of cytoplasm?

Help

My dog is watching me as I write this

It has an evil look in its eyes

I think it wants to kill me

To be honest these are some of, if not, my favourite games of all time and really would really like to continue enjoying these games.

BADGE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appearantly, the rumors about a new, unannounced Horizon game were true, and they are not just rumours anymore. A while ago, Guerrilla Games announced that they were working on three new projects, including Horizon Forbidden West. And now there is only one project left that we don't know anything about.

According to Guerrilla Games' tweet, HCM will be a PSVR2 game that uses the new heaadset and controllers. The protoganist is still unknown but it's said that we will encounter some people from HZD and HFW, including Aloy. Guerrilla also said "with the hardware's new controllers and incredible built-in visuals, Horizon Call of the Mountain will allow you to interact with the world around you in a brand new way."

Also according to Firesprite, t…

I updated the Rockbreaker page to remove the line that states that destroying both fuel sacs disables ranged attack (This is likely a bug). I tested this today and destroying them does not prevent Rockbreakers from performing their Rock Blast or Rock Volcano attacks. Here is video evidence of a Rockbreaker using these attack after its Fuel Sacs have been destroyed.

This is a list of possible machine that will come in Horizon Forbidden West. Others can contribute to this list.

Land Machine

• Hunter: an fox-like Small Machine that roam the plains and forest for resources to bring to Cauldron for new Machine creation. In battle, their tail are enflame to bash and burn their enemies.
• Beringel: An gorilla-like Large Machine that belong in the Combat Class Machine. In battle, their arms turns into spiked maces to smash enemies into the ground.

Sea Machine

• Bomber: a pufferfish-like small machine that swim into the ocean. Like the name suggests, they explode. However, they don’t actually explode, they send out spikes that detonated once a enemy is in a close proximity.

Flying Machine

• Screamer: a bat-like medium Comba…

this may come as a shock to you (no pun intended) but I'm going offline on Wensday.

as once said so potently, all together all alone.

but, that's my problem, not yours.

so I'll give you some good news.

is dead. that simple. I am no longer basing anything off of it, and besides the point, it was made three years ago, it is outdated as fuck.

so, here's what I salvaged from that trainwreak.

ROLLER: a type of machine from the Old Ones, made as a hybrid of the Scarab and the Khopesh. one noticable drawback, however, is lack of armorments, as it only has a few weapons on the top of its head. no, not literally.

it has all the elemental abilities (Frost, Fire, Shock, Corruption), as well as a standard Deathbringer Cannon on each side. it can roll up into…

Backstory:

Years before the start of Zero Dawn, Ted Faro had an illegitimate son named Edward Velaquez while in Spain. This son grew up to be very bright, and worked unknowingly as the European head of his fathers corporation. When Zero Dawn was created, he was instructed to create a backup secret program behind Elisabet’s back. This system encompassed the duties of APOLLO and MINERVA.. It also created two new programs: HEKATE, used for genetic experimenting and building environments for the humans that ELEUTHIA would produce, and CERULEAN, an AI used to store elements and then replicate them for other facilities if need be. It also could create new elements or make different things. CERULEAN cancelled out the need for DEMETER, ARTEMIS, AET…

First up, Flora:

Jitari plants vary from each region. In the cold north you will find Frostliquor plants, good for making Frost potions. In the south it can be quite sandy when you aren’t close to the coastline, so it is not be suited to plants. Only various flower and cactus species have adapted to these conditions. On the shoreline, you will find small Rivervines, that grow under and on trees. They are used to consume when you need to hold your breath longer underwater. In the tropical north-east, you will many various types of flowers use discord for Fire potions. The game will only address them as fire flowers as there are over 50 graphic designs spread across this label. In the middle, you will have many crops such as Glaceflowers, Azu…

"it's a bellowback, but it carries raw energy instead of a liquid cargo. besides that, it's mostly the same as any other." -Varl, upon being asked to describe a Shock bellowback.

a Shock Bellowback is your nromal Bellowback, but with these differences: instead of a Gullet, it has a Shaper, and instead of a cargo sac, it has a Generator. it also stores three Metal Vessels inside its belly, instead of the normal units.

here, read this for details. its the basic principle behind the Bellowback.

now, this Machine has no weakneses, so it's much more deadly than the normal Bellowback, and it heals friendlies. but where did it come from?

well now, you're probably aware that I've erased a good amount of stuff, and so, I will say this:

I have put my hat into a lot of rings. not all of them panned out. and so, instead, I am going to fill this with all the relavent information I can.

first off, I'm assuming HZD 2 will take place somewhere in the future, probably by 1-3 years. and so, I've decided that Aloy's mastery of Machine Taming has become much better, allowing her to take one as her companion, as well as a mount. this sytem is called COMPANION. long story short, this is where you can bring along that Strider you overrode, as well as a Scraper. with this sytem, you can override that Thunderjaw and keep it practically forever, as it will guard you, and only you, until death.…

The Jitari are a tribe that have settled throughout the southern lands below the Carja and Nora. Composed mainly of outcasts of other tribes, they all have a large minority of Tenakth converts. The Jitari are the most technologically advanced group in the area, having founded out how to hack technology and crack codes. For this specific task, a group of civilians known as the “Moon Children” are nominated by Jitari leaders and citizens of the tribe. Their currency, like most tribes around, is metal shards, but they will pay you mounds of money for old tech. Due to their involvement with technology, they tend to be incredibly atheistic, although some Nora and Banuk outcasts still practice their respective faiths. The government is run by no…

I completed the next to last mission in HZD and then stopped playing for a long time.  I just got back on HZD and have totally forgetten everything.

I would like to start a new game to relearn how to play the game.  If I start a new game and play from the very beginning, will my other game that is almost complete still be able to be loaded.  I do not want to lose my original game.

Thanks!

whereas the Control Tower makes them aggressive, this machine has the opposite effect, calming.

intersting title, and the basic summary of this machine when you check the Machine Notebook. it is immune to all damage, though it features a rather weird way of functioning.

this is in the second stage of development, so please, feel free to bounce ideas as needed. also, you'll notice that I've erased a good amount of blog posts, so if you want to see them, I'll send you a Google Doc link.

"looks like a pigeon, but more like a Glinthawk. I wonder what's inside it's chest?" this machine is in the second stages of playtesting, and I'm working on refinement of it.

that's a bit of a teaser that beautifully summarizes the Carrier. a Medium Transport (specifically, the type that delivers Resources to Human Settlements) Machine. specifically, this machine, when out in the Wilds, will not engage in combat. instead, it will summon all nearby Machines, which can even include normally passive ones. one significant drawback of this idea is, despite having a whole army to guard it, the only defense it has is to fly away as other machines force the Player to try another means or fight the enemies arrayed before them.

To those of you who don't know, Fandom is in the process of...for lack of a better word, merging with Gamepedia, an alternate wiki hosting service provided by Curse (the guys who run Twitch), which Fandom has recently acquired.

For the last few months, I've been working on Codex Gamicus, which aims to be an all-encompassing database for all things gaming. A gaming Wikipedia, if you will, but also operating as a central hub from other wikis can connect to. Codex Gamicus actually started as gaming.fandom.com, and migrated over to Gamepedia servers about a year ago. However, we're currently a bit in the weeds. There's a lot of content that needs updating, and there's unfortunately not a lot of people aboard yet.

Please let me know if you're intere…

This article is about the Depthsong, my own fan-made machine, should it ever become canon (I do plan on presenting the idea to Guerrilla).

The Depthsong is a machine in Horizon: Zero Dawn 2. It is a large, aquatic Acqisiton Class machine whose primary purpose is the purification of the world's oceans.

Depthsongs were designed by GAIA, Zero Dawn's governing AI, to work under subfunction POSIEDON, the subfunction responsible for detoxifying the world's poisoned water. Due to their aquatic nature, Depthsongs were very rarely encountered by the humans of the new world, even falling into legend for some tribes. After the events that led to GAIA's self-destruction and her aubfunctions becoming true AI's, HEPHAESTUS, the AI responsible for machine m…

at this point, I've hinted at the Striker enough. a Machine made to resemble a snake, with the ability to breathe fire. it has Flamegel as a exclusive loot, which basically costs half as much as blaze. if an odd number, round down. anyway, I'm still working on the drawing (actually, haven't started, will add it to the end), and as such it'll be made available later. for now, first section: this machine has reached the second stage of playtesting, and will be harder to erase. will require updates.

this is the official place for the Router Machine, with all edits valid, to a point. Now, I'm thinking one person might know the Router, and as such, I'll go ahead and say this: it includes a sketch. in form, it resembles a snake flying around in the air, with a slightly bigger stomach to account for extra space needed to operate. when out of combat, it can release a pair of specially modified watchers (renamed Sentinels) as monitors of the areas it can't reach. theres watchers will be added in next, for now I'll go ahead and put in the link for the sketch: Router. if anyone checks it out, they're more than welcome to make their own, for any machine they want.

Hello. I come from the wilds of what used to be known as the Land of Saints and Scholars. I have a bit of an interest in robotics as well as military history, fictional or otherwise, so to start out with I'll concentrate on pages that are related to those. Thanks in advance for putting up with me! ;)

This blog was requested on my similar blog for RWBY characters.  Each character gets four weapon "types," for the four quick select slots. Said weapon types will be based on their normal weapons and fighting styles. I might also give them a heavy weapon if It's fitting enough. Since lower tier version are made completely redundant once yoiu get the newer/better version, I'll assume they're using the best available.

I'm also giving them a fitting robot companion. For rather significant reasons, none of the Chariot line units are available. I probably will give machine companions to characters before I assign them weapons. I was going to try to achieve balance, but I may have to throw that out for personality.

For the sake of a reference point, I've compiled a list of questions and answers from the anniversary AMA. These are the questions I could find relating to behind-the-scenes work and plot details, with minimal editing.

Q: When you set out to tell the story of Horizon, Zero Dawn, what was your mission or end-goal for the players to take away from it, to know that you could say that "We delivered this message to everyone?"

A: This is a cool question. HZD gave us an amazing opportunity to make the game we wanted, and PlayStation was always supportive. In addition to making it a kick-ass story about machines and tribes and epic threats to the world, we wanted it to be personal. We wanted it to be about bonds of love that cross generations, ties …

I think we can all agree a sequel is inevitable (unless the Netherlands get nuked or something). Here, I wanted to discuss what I want to see in the sequel. However, I wanted to discuss the things that are less common among the fandom. I won't be talking about better facial animations or improved human combat: that's said way too often already.

So here we go:

• 'Scale Up the World': As most of us know, Guerrilla Games chose to make the world a scaled-down version of the real world, approximately 100:1, for the sake of providing dense combat. While I appreciate this approach, I feel that they went too far in this direction: the geography feels far too scaled down, and the biome transitions are a bit too sharp for my taste. Overall, the small siz…
