Dear NW Team. I have seen that you will be doing seasons soon in NW.
While this sounds lovely, I have quit your game twice because of the gear situation in your game.
Both at launch and the fresh start servers.
The issue when you get to the end game is that Multiple sets are required for each playstyle then each Playstle requires multiple sets. On top of that, all professions need sets.
That alone requires you to store and organise 20+ sets of gear for the game with absolutely no way to store, organise or sort those sets in the game other than putting one set in each storage location to which there aren’t enough and its a janky way of doing it anyway.
Then on top of that, you get copious amounts of gear from activities that all need to be sorted. Checked against all your gearsets then either sold on the AH or dismantled. Which can be hella tedious confusing and just not fun to have to do.
Its bloat on bloat that the game provides no solution for. There is no other MMO that requires people to maintain so many multiple sets of gear to just play the end game. It would have been far more reasonable to have just used your consumable system to do what the gear does for specific scenarios.
I think you will have a hard time drawing people back into the game as is, But until there is an overhaul on this ridiculous system either giving the players the tools to correctly sort and organise gear (Diablo 4 does this with 1 button press for inventory) so people don’t have to spend hours of their day sorting through gear. Or changing how gear works so you don’t need multiple sets for basic combat activities. There is no way on earth I will come back to your game. There are plenty of other MMOs I can play that make gear upgrades exciting and I only need one set even when switching roles.
I don’t think I can stress enough how infuriating just sorting gear after a few dungeons and box runs was let alone trying to keep track of all the sets between the storage locations was.
Hell even the storage locations are a nightmare. Why you don’t just have one shared storage that gets expanded with each new town you visit is beyond me. With proper tabs for item types etc. Your system is just needless and infuriating load-balancing for no reason. Again Other MMOS have banks. Banks are single shared storage for good reason. You took the Wheel and made it square and said hear you go better. It’s just silly.
Anyway, until this is fixed NW will forever be uninstalled.
man, i come to the point of salvaging everything i ever collect just to not open the mess that my storages became.
Even after ^dividing^ every city with his storage portions IE- CK: heavy armor, WW:light, taberna:pveancient, BW:wood-ore-hemp… ecc ecc ecc.
The bloat is unreal.
BUT WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN MORE MADDENING…
THERE IS NOOOOOOO FILTERS In THE SEARCH OPTION IN THE STORAGE.
its like making a car and then forget to put the engine inside.
This. Same with me. Over 1600hrs and still no global storage with organization tabs, still no crafting/gathering gear sets, no pvp/pve gear sets.
I spend too much time trying to figure out where my gear is and which is which. It’s not fun and I play a lot of arpgs and enjoy the inventory organization. New worlds is just not good design.
Same here, but I didn’t leave (yet!!). Just salvage everything I get now. I have a simple suggestion, easy to implement (just an extended version of what we already have). Can check my suggestion here:
there are infact a reason on release for this storage system when fast traveling cost alot and towns had their own market. there was infact a valid reason for the non shared, when they make market global and fast traveling free, there is no longer a need for town specific inventory.
Completely agreed. It’s stressful that we have have dozens of sets (refining; crafting; luck; gathering luck of all types; dps, tank, healer against all mob types; pvp for different builds). It’s insane guys to deal with that, not only in inventory, but also in storage sheds.
Over 2600 hours in the game now, and no idea how I’ve played it this much! I have spent half of those hours sorting gear and weapons and going back through them over and over. I finally started putting 2 sets in every single storage I have and then I still have 5 storage completely full of 600-625 legendary weapons and armor that are not salvaged junk. I play every build in the game and builds I make myself, so if you’re anything like me you will need at least 40+ gear sets. I’m not even including my expedition sets in those 2 sets per storage! Definitely a terrible design and not thought out one bit, not even sure if the Devs play their own game anymore or if this stuff would be fixed to be on par with other modern games.
