    And in this episode of "Housewives of MMORPG "our guests will discuss Intuition ..


      Tune in ....
    It's better than the last episode where they whined and cried about what aren't mobs.
    How those tadpole and snail mobs , working out for ya

    Only the biggest casuals in gaming would count , snails, rabbits,tadpoles and turkeys as mobs, But that is who Amazon has targeted with NW .. 
    Only the biggest trolls would try to compare a mob to a tree, or a rock. Or, give out copies of a game and then proceed to troll threads about it.

    Can't wait for the next episode.

    "Resources nodes are parts of the game world from which a player character can obtain resources."

      Now , ask your self .. what does a turkey give you ... ohh recsources..

       here is more ..

        From AGS:


    "Unlocking Resource Tracking isn't especially difficult.  In fact, all that players need to do is get enough proficiency in a specific "gathering discipline" to be able to do it. That means, mining enough ore, gathering enough herbs, chopping down enough trees, or hunting enough animals."

      As you can see here they refer to animals as a resource ..

      Thats because thats what they are ...

       Now pay attention this may get tricky for you ..

     Notice you can only track on your compass Non Hostile Prey  ( Turkey, Rabbits Deer)

        Thats because they are not considered Mobs by the devs .. They are Resource Nodes..


      Wolves,Bobcats ,Alligators  are Mobs for ex.. and cannot be tracked for obvious reasons ..And are considered.. Predators or Mobs ...Hostile

     

       As for me donating games .. I do it cause i can , I have disposable income and ive donated thousands of dollars of games here over the years ..


      And as i have said .. There is some stuff to like in NW ... I think its a solid foundation .. for a game to build on , Ive said that over and over ..


      And me liking it does not mean i cannot be critical of some systems ...She has flaws..

      And if you feel im Trolling you should report it ..

    Another thing this game is missing is a dungeon finder. Again, this hearkens back to the old days of standing around outside a dungeon shouting in chat LFG. Thing is I don't have time for that and after spending so much time in games like FFXIV with a pretty decent group finder I don't mind puging it. It's not a feature, I feel it's more of an oversight.

    Yep, everyone uses gut and feeling about something. It is part of human and animal nature. Sometimes articulated reasons don’t justify a like or dislike. Sometimes things are to your desired taste or they are not. This is common sense and he knows that. He is just being contrary. 
    Agree 100%

    I actually don't trust anyone who says they know exactly why they like or don't like something. That to me just sounds like arrogance about their rationalizations with zero actual insight into all the subjective and unconscious reasons that influence their likes.

    I hate the marketplace in this game, they need better filters.

    Have you seen you can look for items in ALL cities ?
    Wouldn't that make a filter problem worse? 
    Not if you want to buy something for the lowest price. You type your search for whatever item you want, look at all trading posts at once, sort by price and go where you need to go to buy it cheap. Works very well for those of us who play the game.
    So where's the filter problem there? 
    He said there was/were filter problem(s). 

    You'll have to ask him because as far as I'm concerned there are no filter problems.

    Filters, if you use them, are logically arranged in a nested system like weapons > 1HD, 2HD, Magical and each one of those then subdivided (using magical for example) into ice gauntlet, fire staff, life staff and so on.

    But the search function with "live" results based on the letters you have typed makes those filters secondary for finding anything anyway. If I'm looking for a life staff I just start typing l, i, f, e and then either click from the list of choices that generates or keep typing s, t, etc. until what I'm looking for shows up.

    Then I just click on "all trading posts" to see every life staff listed for sale in the whole server, sort them by price, gear score, toggle only the ones I can afford, only the ones I can equip, etc.

    It's an excellent system so no clue WTF he's talking about.
    My only problem with the filtering is it doesn't let you filter on the items actual name or the stats it offers.

    Example, Leather Coat of the Monk. Strength and Focus chest, I should be able to search the full name at the very least.

    EDIT: To clarify, currently it only lets you filter by the base items name. So it can search for Leather Coat, but Leather Coat of the Monk which specifically offers the stats I want isn't searchable.

    EDIT 2: Further clarification, for those that don't know, when items have been searched by their base, it only shows the base items name in the search results. You have to hover over each item to see what they ACTUALLY are. Tier, rarity, gem slot and perk are visible, but stats are not for some reason.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about, and you can not even sort by actual item level, only tier. I figured everyone here who's played an MMO in the last 10 years would know wtf I'm talking about without having to go into massive detail explaining it, hell people in game are asking the same thing. It's not a game breaking issue, it just takes longer to sort stuff so more time standing around shopping than it should.

    The last time I've seen such a convoluted system was back in the pre-cu swg days where you had to actually go to each planet, then each shop and search, since we had no real global search to see what was offered in private shops. People would afk spam their shops in major cities to drum up business, or you spent the day driving around all over each planet, checking the, map, then vendor search. It was entirely annoying as you had to set a whole day aside to shop if say your favorite decided to close or move. You might never find the best deal either because some folks only advertised on the game forums, it was a real mess.
    Why the fuck would you want to sort by level when you can sort by gear score that is a combination of level and quality?

    And why the fuck would anyone know what you're talking about when all you said was "I hate the marketplace in this game, they need better filters." @Linif actually explained what he meant, you did no such thing.

    Your post sounded like a petty gripe from someone who hasn't figured out how to use the Trading Post UI efficiently.

    Convoluted? LMAO. It's simple AF.

    Predators can be tracked at high level skinning.

    Wolves, Bears, Lynx I know for sure.  Cant remember what level as I am capped, but its probably around 125,150,175.

    Not saying I disagree with everything you saying about all the resource animals. Just correcting the record on this.

    I am puzzled, the ESO auction house does not work for everyone in the game world/they don't have one? 
    No there is neither a global AH like WOW's nor even regional ones like in NW.

    ESO has guild vendors spread out all over the world with major cities having 8 or 10 guild vendor spots (which each guild needs to bid on to obtain on a weekly basis) and no in game way of knowing what is selling for how much in each of the 100+ guild stores.

    There are addons that feed external user created web sites that try to track them all but nothing in game that lets you do it

    I played the game in the closed and open beta, have played from 1-60 at launch. The game feels like 60% of a really good game.

    There are a lot of good ideas, the leveling before 50 is smooth, there are lots of activities to do, the crafting is outstanding.

    Then you hit 50+. It becomes a straight up joyless slog. Crafting after 120 takes an insane amount of grinding, there is a massive difficulty spike at 50. Getting from 50-60 is a nightmare without a group (or a endless grind if you just stay in town and do town board quests).

    There are a pile of irritating systems that seem like they are pieces of other things that were taken out during development. The azoth system is super irritating. You have a cap of 1000 and you use it in crafting and for fast travel (ranging from 18 azoth if you have no weight and your company owns where you are going, to like 300+ if you are loaded down and another company owns the territory across the map). 

    There are endless money sinks in the game, repairing gets progressively more expensive and the housing system (mostly via taxes every 5 days) takes buckets of cash. This would be manageable if items broke and you had to buy new ones from players, but they don't and the best stuff drops or is quested. The only professions that will be able to make money by the end of the month will be consumables for pvp, and gems for new gear.

    Two of the main end game activities that you can do casually, 55+ corruption portals and outpost rushs, are currently non functional. Meaning at end game you grind gear in open world groups, you do expeditions (which have exceedingly grindy player crafted BoP requirements), or you do the very low stakes pvp. 

    I applauded their decision to ditch the ffa pvp, but it was with the understanding that they would fix the hole taking it out left.

You might never find the best deal either because some folks only advertised on the game forums, it was a real mess.
    Why the fuck would you want to sort by level when you can sort by gear score that is a combination of level and quality?

    And why the fuck would anyone know what you're talking about when all you said was "I hate the marketplace in this game, they need better filters." @Linif actually explained what he meant, you did no such thing.

    Your post sounded like a petty gripe from someone who hasn't figured out how to use the Trading Post UI efficiently.

    Convoluted? LMAO. It's simple AF.


    Throwing a fit over something I typed because you don't agree? You sound like a spas-mastic manchild.  Grow tf up.
    Dude you're the one spazzing out over me sayin I had no idea WTF you were talking about with idiotic statements like "I figured everyone here who's played an MMO in the last 10 years would know wtf I'm talking about."

    Speaking of growing the fuck up, look in a mirror.

    And that comment triggered you? It wasn't directed at you specifically so you must have a low anger threshold or just be looking for a forum fight. xD
    Now that's just a plain and obvious lie when you say it wasn't aimed at me specifically since I was the only one who used "wtf" in reference to what you meant.

    Not only are you being a child, you're also lying about what's there in writing for all to see.

    It wasn't directed at you personally; it was more of a generalization. But if you get off on feeling marginalized over something petty, have fun doing it on your own because I refuse to debate this with you anymore.

    Agree 100%

    I actually don't trust anyone who says they know exactly why they like or don't like something. That to me just sounds like arrogance about their rationalizations with zero actual insight into all the subjective and unconscious reasons that influence their likes.

    I highly recommend spending some time figuring out what you like / don't like and why.


    It is very difficult to do, you have to be able to be 100% honest with yourself, and then build up a good understanding of both building games and psychology. Not everyone can do that, but I certainly found the process extremely worthwhile.


    If you fancy going through the exercise, I recommend starting with a specific question or comparison. Mine was LotRO vs SWTOR. Why did I absolutely love LotRO, but hated SWTOR? On the surface, both games are extremely similar and I certainly loved both IPs. I found that I couldn't ignore the question, so went on a journey of self-discovery and education about the gaming industry.



    Not everything you discover about yourself will necessarily be logical of course, humans aren't logical. But, illogical or not, doesn't mean you can't understand your own reasoning.

    For example, I've never particularly enjoyed Asian RPGs. When I explored the reason why, it came down to a strong dislike of effeminate men rather than anything to do with gameplay or design. I haven't discovered whether that dislike is a result of growing up in a somewhat homophobic society, or whether its more an influence of toxic masculinity. However, now that I know the reason, it means I have stopped writing off all asian rpgs automatically and will instead look a bit closer. Ofc course, if the game contains too many effeminate men then I still won't play it.

    And in this episode of "Housewives of MMORPG "our guests will discuss Intuition ..


      Tune in ....
    It's better than the last episode where they whined and cried about what aren't mobs.
    How those tadpole and snail mobs , working out for ya

    Only the biggest casuals in gaming would count , snails, rabbits,tadpoles and turkeys as mobs, But that is who Amazon has targeted with NW .. 
    Only the biggest trolls would try to compare a mob to a tree, or a rock. Or, give out copies of a game and then proceed to troll threads about it.

    Can't wait for the next episode.

    "Resources nodes are parts of the game world from which a player character can obtain resources."

      Now , ask your self .. what does a turkey give you ... ohh recsources..

       here is more ..

        From AGS:


    "Unlocking Resource Tracking isn't especially difficult.  In fact, all that players need to do is get enough proficiency in a specific "gathering discipline" to be able to do it. That means, mining enough ore, gathering enough herbs, chopping down enough trees, or hunting enough animals."

      As you can see here they refer to animals as a resource ..

      Thats because thats what they are ...

       Now pay attention this may get tricky for you ..

     Notice you can only track on your compass Non Hostile Prey  ( Turkey, Rabbits Deer)

        Thats because they are not considered Mobs by the devs .. They are Resource Nodes..


      Wolves,Bobcats ,Alligators  are Mobs for ex.. and cannot be tracked for obvious reasons ..And are considered.. Predators or Mobs ...Hostile

     

       As for me donating games .. I do it cause i can , I have disposable income and ive donated thousands of dollars of games here over the years ..


      And as i have said .. There is some stuff to like in NW ... I think its a solid foundation .. for a game to build on , Ive said that over and over ..


      And me liking it does not mean i cannot be critical of some systems ...She has flaws..

      And if you feel im Trolling you should report it ..

    I think it would be really cool if they added some kind of trapping mechanics where one could be a trapper. Hunting is something this game could take full advantage of.

    I played the game in the closed and open beta, have played from 1-60 at launch. The game feels like 60% of a really good game.

    There are a lot of good ideas, the leveling before 50 is smooth, there are lots of activities to do, the crafting is outstanding.

    Then you hit 50+. It becomes a straight up joyless slog. Crafting after 120 takes an insane amount of grinding, there is a massive difficulty spike at 50. Getting from 50-60 is a nightmare without a group (or a endless grind if you just stay in town and do town board quests).

    There are a pile of irritating systems that seem like they are pieces of other things that were taken out during development. The azoth system is super irritating. You have a cap of 1000 and you use it in crafting and for fast travel (ranging from 18 azoth if you have no weight and your company owns where you are going, to like 300+ if you are loaded down and another company owns the territory across the map). 

    There are endless money sinks in the game, repairing gets progressively more expensive and the housing system (mostly via taxes every 5 days) takes buckets of cash. This would be manageable if items broke and you had to buy new ones from players, but they don't and the best stuff drops or is quested. The only professions that will be able to make money by the end of the month will be consumables for pvp, and gems for new gear.

    Two of the main end game activities that you can do casually, 55+ corruption portals and outpost rushs, are currently non functional. Meaning at end game you grind gear in open world groups, you do expeditions (which have exceedingly grindy player crafted BoP requirements), or you do the very low stakes pvp. 

    I applauded their decision to ditch the ffa pvp, but it was with the understanding that they would fix the hole taking it out left.  
    Definitely rough around the edges with many things that need fixing /improving. Like the insane re-spawn times in Great Cleave, the bugged tier V Azoth staff etc. The grind for high tier crafting is also way over the top. They need to do something about that quickly because many players , even those OK with the moderate grind of the pre-50 game, will find the extra grind in end game too much for them.

    It's pretty obvious to me too that the 50+ experience wasn't tested to the same extent than the lower level stuff. But that's typical of most MMOs at launch.

    It's a very enjoyable game but far from perfect in the current state.

    Just so its clear, in this statement above, because you said you 100% agree, you are saying you don't trust yourself, therefore by your own logic you are not trustworthy, are arrogant, and have zero actual insight.  Interesting that you called yourself out like that.

    As to your point, You trust people more who dont know why they like things, more than people that do know why?

    Horseshit. I can 100% agree without describing and defining why.... that's the part you seem to be having difficulty with when you jumped on Blue for saying that ESO didn't click with him and he doesn't really know why.

    Not knowing why is just fine. Navel gazing to figure out why is not a requirement, just something navel gazers do... and after hours of gazing at navels when they start to say "because..." they've gotten it wrong more often than not.

    Like for example, I don't like big boobs. Is that because I was breast fed too much (since apparently, not being breast fed leads to the opposite preference?) Because I came close to dying as a baby smothered by breasts? Is it because I am afraid of women or in the deepest recesses of my mind I am attracted to flat masculine chests?

    I neither know, nor do I give a shit to know why.... I just do and don't feel any compulsion to figure out why nor explain myself.

    Like I said, those who claim to know why they like what they like or do what they do are full of shit most of the time, IMO. I don't even care to know why I feel that way either :)

    Isn't 100% agreement and at the same time not knowing why a contradiction?  How many posts in a row are you going to completely contradict yourself hmmm?

    Yeah sorry you dug a hole so deep you cant get out of now.  I suggest digging at an angle to get yourself out.

    You go ahead dig deeper and keep spinning until you are dizzy.  I will be here ROFL.

    Those are good points and improvements for sure.

    I tend not to buy weapons and gear from the Trading post anyway. I used the life staff example only because it just came to mind first as a way to illustrate the search functionality.

    I get my gear from the faction vendor or drops in places like expeditions. But I'm only level 52 so I think of all my gear as just temporary anyway. I might feel different when I'm 60 and min-maxing more.

    TBH, my main and almost only use of the trading post currently is looking for ingredients I'm missing for town board cooking recipes... ginger, or garlic or potatoes... that sort of stuff lol.
    Y'know, I completely forgot I can get weapons from faction store. I'm going to check there first next time for what I need. Still not filterable as far I know, but atleast I'm not going through 30 items before I find what I want/need

    The faction store weapons are optimized for their weapon stat, and the armor for it's "main" usage, for instance heavy = str/end, medium = dex/end, but you can transform them with a tool from the store (never tried myself, no idea how that works).
    I actually don't bother with the faction armor much. Drops in the world or expeditions or quest rewards have been just fine for that at least into the lower 50s where I now am.

    Faction weapons OTOH are typically best in slot for specific levels. They ain't cheap though. The Purple level 49 faction life staff I'm currently using was 1k gold and 20k faction tokens... worth it though since the stats and perks it has are godly.
