Gear sets are not your salvation

I organised mine in separate storages, each trade/gathering gear set with the resources it uses. 6 clicks for me, 5 for gear and one for all resources. It is amazing how much easier life can be with a little organisation, isn’t it :wink:

Good that you all found ways how to deal with this gear hell.

Im glad they added Gearsetslots and hope we will get more than just 3 anytime soon.

I didnt want to log in til summer but since they gave one Gearslot for free via Season Pass I have to play it now. Thank you AGS, you know how you get me.

I’m not you. Gear management is my least favorite thing about the game. I don’t even need gearsets. If they let me search by perk, that would work. Anything to make it so I don’t have to slowly read over a page of gear to find what I want to equip. It gets completely insane when are a multi role and multiweapon player.

A game that wants you to have a different gear set for every situation should have better options for managing them.

People have been asking for gear sets because you simply can’t search for items in your storage properly. You have hundreds of items in multiple storages, how are you supposed to find different sets? AGS came up with this system that doesn’t really fix the core problem. If they had gear sets in storage on top of the current inventory gear sets, nobody would have complained. Free, unlimited gear set in storage, 2 free then paid gear sets in inventory. But of course, AGS is AGS.

I, as well as many others, are too glad that they added gear sets.

you don’t really have to, unless you want to.

I don’t think so because the Limit is 9 slots/sets, 2 free, 1 from season 1 completion, 6 optional for purchase in the store.

What most people unfortunately don’t understand is that AGS didn’t want to introduce a system with the Gearset Storage System where you have all your possible 294 gears sorted.
Rather, it should be a system in which, for example, for expeditions in which you have to change the wardgear, these two sets are stored in advance and can then quickly be changed.
The system is basically not intended for anything more.
If you want more, you have to pay for it.
The limit of 9 sets is also “okay” because everything in the gearset storage does not create weight in the inventory although you have everything with you.

Its hilarious people want the “immersion” of spending hours/days gathering materials and then using those materials at multiple crafting stations but the “immersion” of changing clothes is just too much for them.

Gear sets are absolutely needed but the outrage of having to pay for content is mind boggling. Where in life to you ever get more for less?

I plan to just use gear sets to swap during mutation runs. Ex: BnB Lost set->Angry earth

Correction: it’s not convenience, it’s selling a solution (not a great one either) to a problem they created by making it necessary to have multiple gear sets and thus giving us gear bloat. Less inconvenient does not equal convenient.

More successful competitors have found other ways to implement content specific buffs and add horizontal progression without creating gear bloat.

More successful competitors allow you to swap between different classes and automatically load all your gear, attributes and skills at the click of a button.

You get them for free. You dont have to buy anything if you dont want to do so.

Some people still dont understand what Dark Patterns are.

If the problem was that you needed 2 or 3 different sets to do all the endgame hard content then that would be true, although it still wouldn’t be adding anything positive, just making up for the bad design choices made.

However that wouldn’t even cover mutations, let alone pvp or life skills.

So no, it’s still just paying to solve a problem they put into the game.

If this were a totally optional way to have sets for dps, tank and healer then sure, that’d be fine. Although they still don’t deal with skill or attribute loadouts so it wouldn’t even be very good for that.

I would like more gear sets personally because I never found the need for so many items enjoyable. I spend a lot of time just trying to organize my inventory and storage because it feels cluttered. I play pvp and mutations in different roles. Having additional slots over 9 would be appreciated because it would be nice to be able to change roles easily and not have to go back and search through storage for items. Is it necessary for gameplay? No. It is quality of life. The game style wants you to have a lot of different sets and juggling gear, for me and many of my friends, is not a fun aspect of the game.

But you get them for free right?

Bro, there is almost nothing so annoying like swapping gear in this game and of all things you can pay for is Gearslotsets?

Do you really dont mind it or cant you understand it?

But do you understand that you get gear set slots for free?

Nothing to argue about. We all know that 3 gear slots are free.

New world should have been released with 10 gear slots and down the line like after so long we should have had at least 25 :smile: 9 are defo better than 0 but it’s still a joke. Every single thing in new world takes so long and gets released at very poor state. By being the best skill shot mmo out there without tap targeting and the combat it self are keeping it alive. Everything else it’s horrendous and like it’s beta
