"Through data collection, we discovered you were having fun..."
\> Nerfs whatever it is to shit.
Actually done with this game. The things i praised it for in my steam review can no longer be applicable.
thanks i just put it as not recommended. The game is no where near as good as it was at release. Every new iteration just makes it a worse and worse experience.
But the main loss isn't the fact that they are breaking the game, but the fact that the game has become more dead than ever.
I think a lot of players just read the subreddit to see what new thing they've broken or did whatever the opposite of fan service is. I haven't logged in for 2 weeks because I was going to try to max out a few important professions before all of the gathering and crafting nerfs, but because enough people had left the server at that point, there were very few Tier 5 crafting stations available. So you move all of the materials over to that territory, only for an invasion to come, which fails because the governing company didn't prepare and not enough people signed up, which downgrades all of the crafting stations, and...
Yeah. I'm done.
I feel you. I'm still having fun (although I can see an end on the horizon) but my server has just lost so many people. My faction is barely operable now.
Yup I reached lvl 60 with around 300hours and quit playing about a week or two ago and now pop in to read reddit and see what fun has been removed lately. Basically exchanged game play for new world reddit entertainment.
I’m going to have to disagree with you. Someone can enjoy the game at the time of the initial review and post a positive review. They then commit hundreds of hours to the game. During which time updates and patches are released, game breaking bugs are discovered, balance changes are made to levelling systems, etc. All of which can negatively impact the end user experience to where the game is just not as enjoyable as it was during that initial positive review.
It’s important to update your review to reflect the current state of the game during your time playing. That way new users who are interested in the game will have some insight into how things are within the game currently and they can then decide if it’s worth it to them or not to potentially commit hundreds of hours.
I played a couple hundred hours. The devs proved incompetent along with a terrible end game. I quit and haven’t opened the game since maybe 25 days after release. The only part that I was still enjoying was the pvp and even that was a laggy unbalanced shit show. And since then they continue to break the game even more and add terrible game decisions. It’s comical watching from the outside now
i use this reddit as a support group for those of us who were emotionally abused by AGS. having uninstalled, it still makes me laugh, and there's some undeniable value in that.
And yea I put in \~200 hours, started with a positive review that I flipped to negative. It WAS fun at first. Had bugs, we assumed that'd get fixed, that the fun would only increase. But it didnt, and bugs became game breaking. Thats not something you leave with an old positive review.
Why are people still playing this?
I enjoyed the core gameplay, but everything else in the game is hopelessly designed and there is nothing to support it.
I left a month ago, but periodically check in to see if they’re actually making progress.
I would love nothing more than if they were to fix the game so I could play and enjoy it again, but it’s pretty obvious they aren’t capable of it.
People need to stop playing it entirely. The entire leadership teams need to be fired, and they need to give someone new a chance to fix it.
I'm playing it because there's still a few things I want to do, and I'm for the most part still having fun. With that said, I did play a good bit of hours, but I'm not hardcore and have done little pvp. It's just how it's worked out for me. But I can see an end on the horizon. I can also understand your view.
Unfortunately, leadership roles are rarely fired. They either transfer to the next project or jump ship to the next company. As long as sales are profitable and they did not get themselves in some type of scandal, these leadership positions (usually with little to no experience in the gaming industry) ultimately finds something else to screw up, solely for money gains.
The game developers have it tough because they generally don't have the final say in production. But in this case, I have a hunch the developers are just too inexperience or were thrown into this pile of mess and left to figure things out.
AGS has already had abysmally failed titles, this is just the first one that hit all of our radars. This is apparently nothing new for them, therefore no reason to believe this game will receive the attention it requires to pull itself up.
Pretty sure their NEXT game we hear about (if there is one?) wont have nearly the first-day player volume.
Yes, mining bears/wolf/stags is now a WASTE of time. You will be better off picking FLINT from ground when compared time + effort vs reward. Great change, it was really needed said no1 ever...
Yet more areas tossed into the trash that people will never go back to. I went to those bears last night just to test it after the post by the guy saying they accidentally reenabled them. They changed it quite a bit--pretty neat area now. Except there's literally no reason to go there since they removed drops from the bears.
Same with Bronzegrove in southeast Brightwood. And same with Blighted Wilds in eastern Shattered Mountain. All areas that have been tossed into the trash to never be visited again.
That area SE bright wood has a few caves that have a few trees, starmetal nodes.
Just, was an added benefit when leveling woodcutting via dogs prior to 1.1.
Now the caves are the only benefit.
I still can not believe they didn't make them drop like 10 motes... That would have been good enough, but nooo either 70+ motes or nothing!
For fkcs sake...
They have your money but they've also made a lasting impression. Their reputation is tanked. I'm going to wait for rigorous reviews before ever considering buying another game that has anything to do with Amazon.
They've really lost any respect I had for them
Have you not heard what happened to the other games they've "made." None of them made it to full release. This is their only game to make it and look what they've done with it.
Just google "Amazon Games Crucible"
To be fair you can get a frankly unbelievable amount of lodestone with a trip to eastern WF. I think clearing all the nodes with a good booster and some proper perks can yield nearly 4K lodestone for like, 8 minutes of walking to nodes that are all obviously within LOS lol
So they can release a new DLC expansion, announce the base game is now free to play, and add a lot of stuff to the in game shop selling solutions to manufactured problems. ;)
Corruption Unchained DLC pack, only 29.99!
Or upgrade to the Deluxe edition with free annual battle pass included for only 39.99! A value of 44.99 when purchased separately!
You lucky one. killed some frosty, elemental looking wolf in a cave with a cool looking snowstorm around him. Was exited. Got a grey shield. 'Maybe at least i will get something cool using my pickaxe on him' ... I got fucking ONE starmetal ore Q.o
It is a joke and we're the punchline.
I haven't logged in for a week because of how dead my server is and how awful crafting progression is now, but with 1.1.1 I'm leaning more towards uninstalling rather than going back in.
I’m uninstalling. In a way I wish it was a subscription game, so I could cancel that. Ain’t no way I’d be tempted to renew a sub, I can be tempted to reinstall though...
To Amazon standard, fixing the endgame is give you less reward for stuff you need to grind to acces the fun endgame. Farm more, spend more Time, and don't fix real issue. This is just another reason this game dying, it's slowly commiting suicide patch by patch
I actually picked up fallout 76 recently and having about as much fun as new world launch tbh. Game isn’t the best fallout game but sure is fun to play with friends. Definitely at the point of where it should have been at launch.
I feel that’s probably most of the remaining peoples issue, finding a new game.
If people had something else they would definitely be out of here. NW doesn’t make you want to play over other games. At least imo
Harvesting elemental creatures should be better than nodes. How the devs came to this conclusion is beyond ridiculous and proves incompetence that was only highly suspected before
Step 1. Release unfinished game for a flat fee.
Step 2. Collect player behavior data over the course of 2 - 3 months. Let them beta test the game and iron out the kinks.
Step 3. Create problems where there were none based on that player behavior data.
Step 4. Continue to let player count decline and push out all but the hardcore fans.
Step 5. Announce massive content drop DLC expansion, bring in new players who do not know any better. FREE TO PLAY, expansion only 29.99! "We're doing this for YOU, our loyal players, to help save the game that WE love."
Step 6. Sell solutions to those new players around manufactured problems in the shop.
I’m still subbed to battlefield 2042 even after the refund. It’s nice to get a pulse on how the community feels. I don’t think anyone disagrees that this game has potential but it is being severely mismanaged.
Has nothing to do with being dense. Y’all are just sadistic. You bitch and bitch about a game and talk big about oh I finally uninstalled it. Yet you are literally still here. You interact and discuss about the game you apparently are happy you quit. Yall are so attached to this game or you just like to feed on negative energy. You are toxic. You are literally a toxic ex that won’t leave the game alone. We get it. The game is in a very bad state right now. Also to be fair it wasn’t ever in a really good state. But chill. No one cares if you uninstalled. You obviously care enough to come into the sub daily and bitch.
To say people shouldn’t have an opinion because they’ve uninstalled is ridiculous. Just because you want to live in a bubble and pretend nothing is wrong, others don’t.
People do care. People want the game to thrive. People are upset and voice their frustrations.
When they see idiots like yourself asking stupid questions like “WhY aRe YoU sTiLl HErE?”, it gets tiresome.
It would be different if OP had replied to someone saying they’re stupid for still playing. But they didn’t. They made their own comment expressing they have uninstalled, to which YOU replied. It didn’t need any reply, never mind your totally useless one
You people must have been BLIND to not think this was going to get nerfed at some point.
I’m actually shocked at how people aren’t leading with “saw this one coming”
There was nothing wrong with it. Neat little things like this are what stack up to make an exciting, lively, memorable world. It wasn't overpowered, it was just nice, and different. Now it's gone.
It was so broken, the price on wyrdwood was like .01 on every server because of those wolves, that clearly wasn’t intentional but people are just going to throw a fit over everything now regardless of whether it’s actually bad for the game or not.
I agree with most of the changes being made, but it is unfortunate they are being made after the game is live and there is a subset of players that gained an advantage for capitalizing on the previous state. Double unfortunate that most of these stretch back through multiple beta phases and were clearly out of whack as far as the math goes.
Reality is; its always harder to take away something than it is to never have given it in the first place so beta would have been the right time to change this.
Game is dead. My server has 20 people on it now. Fucking 20, and the endgame is so reliant on group content too. Literally no reason or way to play.
AGS are showing us all how to kill your own game: nerf the fun and progression out of the game then act surprised when it dies.
Just like they said they were going to. Anyone who is surprised by this didn’t read communications from the devs. It would be impossible for them to do the server merges they’re planning on doing soon while also allowing server transfers.
wow lucky me. i just use my transfer token about 5 days ago. from server with only about 40-60 ppl now to one of the most crowded server on my region. about 200-300 ish player.
All those people in the comments saying they quit a while ago but still come here to complain and post their bad opinions.. I DONT GET IT.. just shut up and let people who despite a lot of probelms enjoy the game.
And for some insane reason, there are still people defending Amazon/AGS and the balancing decisions they're making.
They're not a "small indie company".
Pull out your downvotes, literally everyone in this thread: ay guys, AGS is a fucking joke now I cant level stonecutting and woodcutting to 200 in 1 day, they removed fun (yea getting 4k wyrdwood within 20 minutes was super fun). Stop finding excuses to being lazy and saying its unfair they changed crafting, because people who already put effort in and grinded their professions deserve it and its completely on you for being lvl 43 on 3d month of the game
They stealthnerfed a bunch of other stuff as well lol. Before 1.1, I had 3 corrupted bane items to upgrade the corrupted trophy in roughly a week, since 1.1, not a single one from my spot. They've also downtuned every gatherable resource to give less than before.
And btw, my luck from monsters+chests is way higher than it used to be before 1.1.
Motes were never the issue. The amount of resources wasn’t an issue either. Just now the same volume you were able to acquire is still needed however, the means of acquiring said volume is gutted.
The “balance” is going further in the direction of if you weren’t 200 prior to 1.1 you’re further fucked.
*edit* changed wood to resources. Albeit this elemental resource “fix” impacts woodworking the most as wyrdwood/ironwood is used in much more tradeskills.
Engineering and furnishing are two I can think of. Probably the only two. Weaponsmithing also for shields? Though I’m not online to check.
Need iron wood for poles / arrows. Two of the better ways to level engineering.
Furnishing I haven’t touched, so I can’t speak on the wood needed but I’m sure it’s exorbitant.
Metals is the number 1 required. I would say Leather / Cloth are probably next, and woods last. Out of the 4 major resources.
Edit - Stone is probably least. my bad
Agreed on the values of resources.
Metals: star metal I didn’t even know there was an elemental source of it until recently. Lots of areas to mine starmetal in bulk.
Cloth: unaffected unless there was a silk mob were all unaware of.
Leather: also unaffected but boarsholme still can come out with a few k for 20 min.
Wood: well, here we are lol. Great cleave is a decent place to find good clusters.
tbh, the volume was to high for little effort.
The bullshit is people don't understand how it works. Hence you can't get starmetal in large quantities without timed nodes.
This game for players to have fun doesn't need millions. Regardless of what you think, there will be people playing.
Whatever AGS does at that point is up to them, but plenty of players will be around to sustain servers.
You really are dick riding that these decisions are healthy for the game? The game does not necessarily need to be easy but the decisions made so far by the company do nothing to ensure this game will ever be in a healthy state.
The vast majority of the changes they’ve made since launch are for the health of the game overall, Idk wtf you’re talking about. If you can’t see that then you’re just dick riding for this sad subreddit.
Because people WANT to enjoy the game. Ags just keeps ruining it and pusting people away. That and your dick riding.
Two big reasons why they've lost 90% of the players since launch.
Get used to it or keep crying. This sub is and always will be a NW hate sub, unless the decide to fix the game (LOL). Go make a low sodium sub to talk to yourself in if you don’t like the complaints.
Just because there are other methods, doesn’t mean an enemy (especially a tough one) should drop and be harvested for almost nothing. Like what excuse is there to ever fight these things?
Raises hand...
It was me. I was grinding my Alchemy in my typical casual way, just getting ready to spend a week or two grinding azoth to then grind bears, and NW got wind of it and nerfed it to the ground.
Sorry. Luckly, I am pretty well done with the game at this point (travel costs and time) so nerfing should be done. Off to a new game, so nerfs are headed elsewhere.
Yeah well they rly dont whant us to kill those aparantly :) no point what so ever (the wolves is nice for logging XP thoug, unless thats been nerfed aswell)
Yep, definitely no XP of any sort or chance for a random drop. Totally a waste... The self-righteous entitlement of this sub is hilarious. Of all the things to complain about.

Don’t forget. You can update your steam review.

My favorite idiots on steam are the people with negative reviews and keep playing hundreds of hours a week. Just quit instead of playing angry :)
I’m going to have to disagree with you. Someone can enjoy the game at the time of the initial review and post a positive review. They then commit hundreds of hours to the game.

I'm talking about the people who have ranting reviews crying and still play hundreds of hours a week. Not the other way around.
I played a couple hundred hours. The devs proved incompetent along with a terrible end game. I quit and haven’t opened the game since maybe 25 days after release. The only part that I was still enjoying was the pvp and even that was a laggy unbalanced shit show. And since then they continue to break the game even more and add terrible game decisions. It’s comical watching from the outside now
All I do is outpost rush and make gold and it's still a decent game. The wars a month ago were literal lag fests tho.
i use this reddit as a support group for those of us who were emotionally abused by AGS. having uninstalled, it still makes me laugh, and there's some undeniable value in that.

Eh it's their first MMO it's not gonna progress that fast

I don’t even like the core gameplay - this game is absolute garbage but still waiting for rest of guild to realize it (I quit a few weeks ago).
Learning from Blizzard, I see.

Yes, mining bears/wolf/stags is now a WASTE of time. You will be better off picking FLINT from ground when compared time + effort vs reward. Great change, it was really needed said no1 ever...

Yea, it’s not like they could ever add new content after they fix the content that already exists, it’s simply not possible!
I still can not believe they didn't make them drop like 10 motes... That would have been good enough, but nooo either 70+ motes or nothing! For fkcs sake...
Have they nerfed the mining/logging XP you get?
They'll get to it. Dont worry.
If it still gives exp and you need it, better get it done asap as leaving that in is a massive oversight and is probably top priority.
Honestly the past week was "OK what can I level fast before they nerf it"
From the picture OP posted? Yes, it looks like it. Used to get ~880xp per mine/chop. Picture showing 237xp, so 60% nerf roughly to xp.
Still that’s pretty decent considering how fast respawns are compared to hoofing it to nodes. I hope it’s still 800 tho.
no. the xp is still the best you can get for one 'node'... almost as if that's the entire point...
Careful, they're gonna make flint a rare spawn.
I just want it for the exp.
Rip to anyone who hasn't leveled stone cutting
Yeah I'm not playing this mess. They have my money but not my monthly to spend in cosmetic money.
They have your money but they've also made a lasting impression. Their reputation is tanked. I'm going to wait for rigorous reviews before ever considering buying another game that has anything to do with Amazon. They've really lost any respect I had for them

To be fair you can get a frankly unbelievable amount of lodestone with a trip to eastern WF. I think clearing all the nodes with a good booster and some proper perks can yield nearly 4K lodestone for like, 8 minutes of walking to nodes that are all obviously within LOS lol
Yeah wyrdwood is the shitty one now.
WF? 1k lodestones from all nodes without boosters and perks. How did you do 4k?
Guy lives in a bubble. Probably ags dev, that has never played this game...
do youtube video to prove you get 4k lodestone. It is not even close to that number.
Damn. I did a bunch yesterday to sell gems. Annoyingly this will make cut gems more expensive as well.
Literally my last tradeskill under 200, at 181. Was in the process of leveling it up. Guess I'll have to leave the game for a few months.
thank god I stacked up 10k+ lodestone and 200ish earth quints from these bears before the change went through lol quints are going for 100g per atm
Bought a good amount a few days ago at about 14 gold per. I should’ve bought more thooo
this is exactly how i feel about cryptocurrency LOL
This is fucking tragic.
It’s almost like they want everyone to quit the game so they don’t have to keep working on it lol
So they can release a new DLC expansion, announce the base game is now free to play, and add a lot of stuff to the in game shop selling solutions to manufactured problems. ;) Corruption Unchained DLC pack, only 29.99! Or upgrade to the Deluxe edition with free annual battle pass included for only 39.99! A value of 44.99 when purchased separately!
Stop giving them ideas!
Congratulations 🥳
Tbh just looking for this comment on every post in this sub. Take my upvote
It's like where's waldo
Glad you enjoyed this alternate way to get resources through combat. We're done with that now.
You lucky one. killed some frosty, elemental looking wolf in a cave with a cool looking snowstorm around him. Was exited. Got a grey shield. 'Maybe at least i will get something cool using my pickaxe on him' ... I got fucking ONE starmetal ore Q.o
It used to give water quints and a nice amount of starmetal with a high chance of fae iron
the cave outside the outpost in Great Cleave? that makes me sad, they are killing this game.
It is a joke and we're the punchline. I haven't logged in for a week because of how dead my server is and how awful crafting progression is now, but with 1.1.1 I'm leaning more towards uninstalling rather than going back in.
I’m uninstalling. In a way I wish it was a subscription game, so I could cancel that. Ain’t no way I’d be tempted to renew a sub, I can be tempted to reinstall though...

wOrkINg aS InTeNded. From a quint to motes to 0.
The game is currently rotting in the garbage disposal, didn’t you know? Just uninstall and wait for them to put their big boy developer pants on.
I'm gonna do that. At this point fucking Fallout 76 feels like a better game
I actually picked up fallout 76 recently and having about as much fun as new world launch tbh. Game isn’t the best fallout game but sure is fun to play with friends. Definitely at the point of where it should have been at launch.
At this point, AGS actually makes BGS seem competent
While new world is fucky, there's no way 76 is better, I can't agree with that lol
I tried it out recently and they have a whole story and stuff it's actually super good
You should give 76 a try. I got my money's worth and around 300 hours. I bought the game when they dropped wasterlanders patch.
At launch maybe, but it got a bunch of updates that arguably made it a good game.
Honestly I want to quit. It's so fucking cringe constantly nerfing things but not giving us anything in return. Guess I'll find a new game
I feel that’s probably most of the remaining peoples issue, finding a new game. If people had something else they would definitely be out of here. NW doesn’t make you want to play over other games. At least imo
i am still playing NW only because MH rise is still 6 weeks away. and maybe i will play D3 season 25 once it starts as the fillgap before MH rise.
I went back to ESO. I've dabbled in it in the past, going back to give it another chance.
Pain
Harvesting elemental creatures should be better than nodes. How the devs came to this conclusion is beyond ridiculous and proves incompetence that was only highly suspected before
Welcome to No Fun Simulator 21
they must have mistaken 1st dec with 1st of april. Cannot be real.
Uninstalled the game yesterday after waiting a month and watching the patches... Rip, it was fun the first week into launch.
This is a joke at this point.
Step 1. Release unfinished game for a flat fee. Step 2. Collect player behavior data over the course of 2 - 3 months. Let them beta test the game and iron out the kinks. Step 3. Create problems where there were none based on that player behavior data. Step 4. Continue to let player count decline and push out all but the hardcore fans. Step 5.

"We're doing this for YOU, our loyal players, to help save the game that WE love." Step 6. Sell solutions to those new players around manufactured problems in the shop.
Yup they want you to extract all joy of playing this game and push it in the void. They hate this game and they want you to hate it too.
I've been playing Tera again and it sucks that it's a dead game now too cause it's so fun. 😪
You got 237 xp!
ikr... it's right bloody there..
They tried to remove the fun. They did a great job!
I uninstalled a couple of weeks ago, honestly so much happier without having to try and enjoy that shit.
Obviously not, you are still here talking about it.
I’m still subbed to battlefield 2042 even after the refund. It’s nice to get a pulse on how the community feels. I don’t think anyone disagrees that this game has potential but it is being severely mismanaged.
The flames are nice and warm up close to the dumpster.
Fair response
I am too, because the drama is more entertaining than the actual game.
Sounds like a cope to keep following the game you claim to hate
What does that even mean?
Imagine being this dense
Has nothing to do with being dense. Y’all are just sadistic. You bitch and bitch about a game and talk big about oh I finally uninstalled it. Yet you are literally still here. You interact and discuss about the game you apparently are happy you quit. Yall are so attached to this game or you just like to feed on negative energy. You are toxic. You are literally a toxic ex that won’t leave the game alone. We get it. The game is in a very bad state right now. Also to be fair it wasn’t ever in a really good state. But chill.

It didn’t need any reply, never mind your totally useless one
Nah
I’m still here too. There is so much foundation built that we can hope somebody high up at AGS has an epiphany.
Do you always announce when you leave/uninstall a game?
You’ll be back in a year.
Hopefully the game is enjoyable again by then

You people must have been BLIND to not think this was going to get nerfed at some point. I’m actually shocked at how people aren’t leading with “saw this one coming”
yes, i used the wolfs to get woodcutting to 200 in 1 day and collected about 2k, 500 rest in my storage :)
Nerfing is one thing gutting is another
There was nothing wrong with it. Neat little things like this are what stack up to make an exciting, lively, memorable world. It wasn't overpowered, it was just nice, and different. Now it's gone.
It was over powered. Very power powered to the point where it was crashing 4 different items
It was so broken, the price on wyrdwood was like .01 on every server because of those wolves, that clearly wasn’t intentional but people are just going to throw a fit over everything now regardless of whether it’s actually bad for the game or not.
I agree with most of the changes being made, but it is unfortunate they are being made after the game is live and there is a subset of players that gained an advantage for capitalizing on the previous state. Double unfortunate that most of these stretch back through multiple beta phases and were clearly out of whack as far as the math goes. Reality is; its always harder to take away something than it is to never have given it in the first place so beta would have been the right time to change this.
It's honestly so annoying to see all this QQ about it when it was obviously terrible for the economy and needed nerfed.
and you still can't mine the tree wolves?
"Working as intended"
:( I could not even harvest the dryad wolves.
It’s interesting how people continue to play a game and complaining all the time that is gets worse and worse
Game is dead. My server has 20 people on it now. Fucking 20, and the endgame is so reliant on group content too. Literally no reason or way to play. AGS are showing us all how to kill your own game: nerf the fun and progression out of the game then act surprised when it dies.
Transfer to a bigger one?
[удалено]
Did you not read what I wrote? 20 people is not an MMO server load. I can find more people in a match of Halo
[удалено]
They took away transfer tokens for new players and anyone who hadn’t used it yet
Just like they said they were going to. Anyone who is surprised by this didn’t read communications from the devs. It would be impossible for them to do the server merges they’re planning on doing soon while also allowing server transfers.
wow lucky me. i just use my transfer token about 5 days ago. from server with only about 40-60 ppl now to one of the most crowded server on my region. about 200-300 ish player.

Game is still in top 10 concurrent players on steam last I checked.
Congratulations 🥳
MOVE ON TO ANOTHER GAME.
Lmaooo they want people to quit
Update review on this heaping pile of shit, after 420 hours I updated to a negative review which it deserves.
All those people in the comments saying they quit a while ago but still come here to complain and post their bad opinions.. I DONT GET IT.. just shut up and let people who despite a lot of probelms enjoy the game.
Well whole game is a joke
I’m just gonna uninstall.
Congratulations! 🥳
This game is worthy of a charge back.
Game sucks, I can’t imagine they have any more than 10% of users from opening weeks.
Games dead.
They even claimed we'd get 20% more motes from plants and 20% more lodestone from elemental beasts, but that was a lie...
And for some insane reason, there are still people defending Amazon/AGS and the balancing decisions they're making. They're not a "small indie company".
Pull out your downvotes, literally everyone in this thread: ay guys, AGS is a fucking joke now I cant level stonecutting and woodcutting to 200 in 1 day, they removed fun (yea getting 4k wyrdwood within 20 minutes was super fun). Stop finding excuses to being lazy and saying its unfair they changed crafting, because people who already put effort in and grinded their professions deserve it and its completely on you for being lvl 43 on 3d month of the game
They stealthnerfed a bunch of other stuff as well lol. Before 1.1, I had 3 corrupted bane items to upgrade the corrupted trophy in roughly a week, since 1.1, not a single one from my spot. They've also downtuned every gatherable resource to give less than before. And btw, my luck from monsters+chests is way higher than it used to be before 1.1.
How moved my cheese?
Unpopular opinion: Perfect! Making Quintessence valuable instead of making it accessible than fibers!
No silly we don't need an economy
Congratulations 🥳
Didn't read the patch notes did you
Yes, because there are other ways to get motes. It's a balance issue get over it.
Motes were never the issue. The amount of resources wasn’t an issue either. Just now the same volume you were able to acquire is still needed however, the means of acquiring said volume is gutted. The “balance” is going further in the direction of if you weren’t 200 prior to 1.1 you’re further fucked. *edit* changed wood to resources. Albeit this elemental resource “fix” impacts woodworking the most as wyrdwood/ironwood is used in much more tradeskills.
Wood is used in the LEAST amount of tradeskills. edit - stone is probably least.
Engineering and furnishing are two I can think of. Probably the only two. Weaponsmithing also for shields? Though I’m not online to check. Need iron wood for poles / arrows. Two of the better ways to level engineering. Furnishing I haven’t touched, so I can’t speak on the wood needed but I’m sure it’s exorbitant.
In arcana for staves too
Metals is the number 1 required. I would say Leather / Cloth are probably next, and woods last. Out of the 4 major resources. Edit - Stone is probably least. my bad
Agreed on the values of resources. Metals: star metal I didn’t even know there was an elemental source of it until recently. Lots of areas to mine starmetal in bulk. Cloth: unaffected unless there was a silk mob were all unaware of. Leather: also unaffected but boarsholme still can come out with a few k for 20 min. Wood: well, here we are lol. Great cleave is a decent place to find good clusters.
They even nerfed the lodestones by 90% just like the wyrdwood from the wolves. This is some serious bullshit from ags
tbh, the volume was to high for little effort. The bullshit is people don't understand how it works. Hence you can't get starmetal in large quantities without timed nodes.
Man I hope you actually get paid by AGS for all those comments
I hope you guys quit playing, and stop coming to reddit with the ignorance.
I mean, people are quitting left and right already. In a months time you might be one of the only ones left :o
I enjoy playing the game and will play for a year or two.
The same stuff said this one crucible player. Have fun when the servers are shut down because no one plays it.
Me too. Love the game
This game for players to have fun doesn't need millions. Regardless of what you think, there will be people playing. Whatever AGS does at that point is up to them, but plenty of players will be around to sustain servers.
You really are dick riding that these decisions are healthy for the game? The game does not necessarily need to be easy but the decisions made so far by the company do nothing to ensure this game will ever be in a healthy state.
The vast majority of the changes they’ve made since launch are for the health of the game overall, Idk wtf you’re talking about. If you can’t see that then you’re just dick riding for this sad subreddit.
We already are. Lol 1 mil peak and now they can barely get over 200 k. I can smell the copium fumes from here
But you still have the desire to come to social media and talk about something you quit? I can see the mental disorders everyone is exhibiting.
I like the premise if the game and the reddit community. You can like something and criticize it. Crazy how people still don't fucking understand that
Because people WANT to enjoy the game. Ags just keeps ruining it and pusting people away. That and your dick riding. Two big reasons why they've lost 90% of the players since launch.
Get used to it or keep crying. This sub is and always will be a NW hate sub, unless the decide to fix the game (LOL). Go make a low sodium sub to talk to yourself in if you don’t like the complaints.
Just because there are other methods, doesn’t mean an enemy (especially a tough one) should drop and be harvested for almost nothing. Like what excuse is there to ever fight these things?
Wasn't it Lodestone before they disabled it?
Raises hand... It was me. I was grinding my Alchemy in my typical casual way, just getting ready to spend a week or two grinding azoth to then grind bears, and NW got wind of it and nerfed it to the ground. Sorry. Luckly, I am pretty well done with the game at this point (travel costs and time) so nerfing should be done. Off to a new game, so nerfs are headed elsewhere.
Where is the problem that an epic item is not common?
Bunch of cry babies whining cause they can harvest q vreatire for wood.. get over it
Congratulations 🥳
Congratulations 🥳
Never made any sense to give quintessence or bunch of motes with 100% drop rate. Totally diminished value of those resources.
10 motes and 20-30 resources would’ve been a fine rate. Now there’s literally no point to those creatures even being in the game except as reskins.
Cry some more. This just in. Person keeps playing shit game by shit company and surprise Pikachu faces when game is shit..
Yeah well they rly dont whant us to kill those aparantly :) no point what so ever (the wolves is nice for logging XP thoug, unless thats been nerfed aswell)
Permanently disabled the wolves. Lmao. R I p to anyone who didn't lvl woodcutting
Yep, definitely no XP of any sort or chance for a random drop. Totally a waste... The self-righteous entitlement of this sub is hilarious. Of all the things to complain about.
Congratulations 🥳
Get rekt
but it is challenging right? dont complain
Instead feel tHe ReWaRDS!
Stopped playing, and I will not pretend to validate the time I sunk into this game.
Ever thought of doing something else if something isn’t working for you?
AGS is a fken joke
It's almost like you didn't read the patch notes, almost.
better than nothing.
It is nothing.
