I was assuming that you'd need to go into the menus to find the option.<br /><br />However, I think all the console buttons are actually used in regular play. I don't think there is a free button that you could hold. You'd have to override an existing button, and that has problems if you don't want to rejoin.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-33512982946192671542019-03-04T16:14:04.909-08:002019-03-04T16:14:04.909-08:00"The type of person who would get lost is als..."The type of person who would get lost is also the type of person who would not know how to initiate the tether."<br /><br />I don't think this holds. I have gotten lost a few times in the open world areas because the path for the next waypoint is obscured but I'm pretty sure I'd know how to activate a tether. Or at least I hope so.<br /><br />I do think an initiate on demand option would be good for this situation. It should mirror the 'Hold R to join expedition' or whatever it says in the fort when you're in a party and someone is waiting to launch while you're walking around. This would put it out of the way to allow the overheat meter to be visible and would be a consistent mechanic for joining up.<br /><br />This doesn't have to be the only way to tether though, as there could still be situations (such as barriers) where tethering can be forced. But since the latest patch has relaxed the open world tether to the point where it seems nonexistent, I would find a player initiated tether occasionally helpful.Durentishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568691294435203495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-18004815137801961972019-03-04T15:48:12.468-08:002019-03-04T15:48:12.468-08:00I disagree with this.

Forced automation is good for the desired use case.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-59410311905102063712019-03-04T15:46:16.324-08:002019-03-04T15:46:16.324-08:00Yeah, a confirm would be nice.Yeah, a confirm would be nice.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-39518604489697894222019-03-04T15:44:59.434-08:002019-03-04T15:44:59.434-08:00Yeah, I ran into that barrier issue as well recent...Yeah, I ran into that barrier issue as well recently.

The overheat meter is obscured during the timer too, making catching up more difficult, but today's patch has further relaxed the tethering timer so hopefully that helps.<br /><br />I had a couple interesting experiences that made use of an impenetrable barrier. The idea is that when a key fight begins, nobody should be able to leave the immediate area, so a barrier is created blocking the exit. Unfortunately, the exit is also the entrance and, despite being mere steps behind the leader, I had been locked out of the fight by running headlong into the barrier.<br /><br />In one case, I was in a cave complex doing a contract and a second party member was also locked out. I ran all the way to the entrance hoping to trigger the tether (with no luck) and found another barrier at the cave entrance as well. The tether actually did eventually trigger, but only after I followed most of the waypoints back to the encounter room. When the fight finished, I could still see the other party member hovering just outside the barrier, which never came down.Durentishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568691294435203495noreply@blogger.com
