Man I like this game a lot. I enjoy sight seeing in this game. The music and graphics is well done in this game. I never really got into mmorpg’s for some reason but I’m glad I picked up this game.
There are however a few things that are bothering me. Things I would like to see changed or implemented in the future. I hope that AGS will see this thread and think about it a little.
The biggest thing on my mind right now is the storage. I really think they should link discovered settlements together when it comes to the storage. Here’s my reasons.
- Crafting tier upgrades and downgrades vary causing a few issues such as needing to move resources to other settlements. This can require large amounts of azoth. Gathering azoth is now a priority.
- Other than food all other resources are connected to each other in some way such as metals, leathers, cloths, arcane and stone materials. Having a settlement for each type of resource won’t work because you need to have them together to craft items to increase your skill levels. Different areas have different resources so going out for only a few resources just so you can have a little bit of everything and craft little amounts is counterproductive and actually a hinderance.
- In low populated servers some of those resources are worthless as they cost more to list them in the shop than to just toss em. I have a lot of gun powder for instance and I can’t sell it but I need it to craft ammo however I am very full in my storage. I only have necessary items in my storage and I still am having a harder time. Things do add up and I’m getting advanced enough with my character that I am crafting more and more because raw material requirements gets higher and higher.
- I know others have suggested that using the auction house to store materials is one of helping but you have to list high which means a higher fee if you don’t want anyone to buy it as you farm azoth for travel. The auction house is maxed at 100 total regardless of settlement location which makes things difficult to sell as well.
I think maybe reducing each settlement storage to 500lbs or something around that and connecting them as you unlock them is a great solution to these issues. Honestly I feel it’s the only solution.
I hope my thoughts and experiences will help improve the game and enjoyment in New World.
Happy hunting!
