We Don’t want orbs, for useless rewards

all NW community :slightly_smiling_face:

FYI, I am part of NW community, Penfold and other people that like and want orbs are as well. :slight_smile:

No B.S, why have orbs in a game?
What is the fun, I have multiple people/friends I wish to play with do Dungeon but no one want to grind these stupid ORbs. Honestly at this point, I HATE this system just how bad it is for casual players, and not only it unfriendly to players it’s not rewarding at all… out of my probably over 100 runs at this point I may be using 1 item that got a drop from Expedition.

edit: I can see how it enforce you to do other in-game activities, but this activity is lame as well, who wants to farm the portal for hours… what is the fun…

Economy, restrict farming?
Farming what garbage items?

Ahhh that definitely can be frustrating, I’m sorry to hear that!

Can be?

It can be frustrating to come across a few among the hundreds of bots on each server decimating the nodes?

That just comes off as insincere, because it is frustrating to come across bots, especially when it’s a solvable problem that has been largely ignored by AGS.

smh.

But thats the same as complaining about “Why cant i go into the Level 60 Dungeon im already level 5!” In almost every game you have to meet certain requirements before you can something. Sometimes its per level, sometimes per time and like here with ressources. And the reason for that is simple: If everything was free to go in New World it would completly ruin the economy because everyone would get way to much money, legendary items and special ressources would get completly worthless within a few days etc. So basicly it would kill the game for good. And with the upcoming of the mutated dungeons you already get option to run even more but if thats still not good enough for you than the concept of the game is not fitting for what you want because it sets a high focus on group and company interaction and not on solo players. And its okay to not like it but IMO than you should switch the game rather than trying to get the devs to overhaul their vision of what the game should be. Not every game is for everyone and instead of wasting time on a game with a main focus that you dont like why not playing something you actually have fun with.

Nope

Removing tuning orbs for normal difficulty wouldn’t kill the game lmfao
smh

I complain to try to make it better. If I see it is not happening I will give up and go play another game. But no official answer was given yet.

Hi! Can you please clarify how luck gear works? Some ppl say if I use pearl as a gem, it takes over your luck perk. Some say it will stack with luck perk. So confusing.

oh yeah, another useless perk in the game ‘LUCK’ why… you need the luck to drop gear, now you farm gear for luck so better gear can drop… and repeat
With mutation ‘hardcore’ content you will have people trying to run gear with luck… people will be wiping wondering why, well I am trying to use my luck set, so you know I can get that legendary… omg another AGS idea I do not understand

That would be a great clarification. It’s a topic of much debate, some people in my company suggested that if you jump 3 times in front of your computer before opening steam is more effective to get lucky with loot/drops than actually using the luck gear.

I just wanted to ask, why are micro patches being released if they keep breaking the game? Surely they can be put on the ptr before hand? It would stop the bugs like the new gold dupe and the whole staircase being broken in brightwood. If its AGS intention to slow down and not rush, surely these patches should also not be so rushed and should be tested more.

is there anything you like about the game?

Hi @Shadow_Fox :wave: nice to meet you, and welcome to the team :vulcan_salute:

Lol you seriously came here to only say this and do not address the main discussion here?

I understand correctly @Kay ?

They don’t use the PTR for bug testing like every other company does. The PTR code is not rolled into production so a lot of QA gets left out.

Don’t give me that, do not be white-knighting for the game.
There are plenty of things why I play this game that I like about it.
But AGS has systems that turns a lot of people away that I wish to play with, and yes… it irritates me at this point, that they keep pushing on stuff like orb that pretty much no one wants.

How do you know for sure what people are doing ingame that don’t post on reddit and the forums? Maybe they’re NOT farming for orbs as you claim that they’re doing. Are you an undercover developer who has backseat access to moderate what people do ingame?

Imagine that… someone who pretends to know what everyone else is doing ingame LOL.

Yes but if this patch instead was included in the ptr build before being introduced, people playing could have found these issues far beforehand, gold duping being the obvious huge problem that could have been caught. Im saying they need to stop micro patching if they clearly cant seem to not break the game when doing so, and instead just put said changes in the monthly PTR. QA isn’t as necessary or needed if the players are also testing it and can find these issues.

To have a clear answer, @Kay would it be possible to get a poll about Expedition Orbs?
Like most of us, we believe that it hurts the game and brings no fun into our game experience and it pushes many people away from the content. Then we have people that defend this idea and it seems like you as the AGS team think most community “like it”. A poll can give you a better feel for this particular feature.
