I’m aware that there are bugs around this mechanic and this thread is NOT about those bugs.
I want to call out how dumb the mechanic is even if it were working as intended.
UNDO THIS MECHANIC! REMOVE IT FROM THE GAME!
In what universe is “Oh, I see your storage is full and you want to reduce your weight! Let me just BLOCK YOU FROM DOING THAT” is good mechanic?
AGS, I’m a pretty patient and tolerant person. I’ve put up with bugs and can keep putting up with bugs.
YOU HAVE BEEN LOSING ME WITH DUMB MECHANICS AND ILL CONCEIVED BALANCING!
Do ANY of AGS’ game designers have a settlement with multiple gear sets, reagents and crafting mats? Do you enjoy this tedious balancing act? What on earth made you think blocking of selling was a GOOD IDEA.
I want proof that AGS game designers actually play their own game. Cause everything I’ve seen so far indicates otherwise…
If this mechanic is really how AGS wants storage and the trading post to work, then their vision for the game does not involve players trading materials as a profession, but rather buying materials just for personal use. I’m not sure why they have this stance, but having a restrictive inventory system seems to be important.
They did that because it was abusable, and it’s a fast and easy bandaid fix that works now.
While being dumb, it’s work, I assume it will be changed in future, but they already have a lot of fixes to work on and still deliver content not sure how much dev is working on New World, but I assume there is a lot of extra hours going on.
How was it abusable?
You could buy orders for cheap stuff and have 500 000kg of items in storage.
