Make optional Ascension set for next community recognition program with mindforce skill gain buffs or make it possible to choose if person want to get a set with weapon buffs or mindforce buffs. As alternative, make some kind up Ascension upgrade mission to add mindforce skill gain buffs. Many people choose mindforce as an option to unlock intuition skills, so this change will attract a lot of new or more people.
Daily screecher containment mission: Maybe it is possible to make this as an instance where you can enter anytime you want and do your daily mission here? This place is popular and there is almost always someone doing mission, and also sometimes other persons come while you are shooting and ruin your daily as it’s hard to finish it outside schreecer nest. Alternative - I’m sure this small island can is big enough to add one more screecher nest so there would be at least possible to hunt here for two persons at the same time.
Bring back sweat bot. This was unique in whole EU.
Add flower port to mutant boar wave area. This place is also quite popular and it’s annoying to run/fly here, find other person and come back later. Flower port to grey papoo wave might be good addition too.
Find more uses for NI mined materials. Basiclly only Dark Lysterium has markup and other 3 are recycle materials due to not enough uses.
Make some new textures like Azurite, Citrine textures or other.
All items at fishing NPC cost way too much still, which makes almost no sense for fishing. We need some fresh look into this to make fishing great.
Add at least choise of 3 skills for 1000 clicks stone texture crafting daily mission. Texture engineering skill is quite useless as it only contributes to one proffession.
Thank you for your suggestions. Some of these are already on our radar and might be implemented in some fashion soon. Others might need further investigations before making any descisions.
But all in all, very clear and easy to understand.
Hi,
Just want to share some throughs about current situation
Nice to see that some things are implemented, but after recent updates we got some new issues.
I still think it would be good to have some alternative place with screecher nest.
Same with Village Boars, but this is less annoying, because it’s shorter mission.
Not sure who decided to remove all caps from Dark Lysterium during RM and it’s strange it’s not fixed still. I think Dark Lysterium issue went too far already. Every time you go mining now it’s raining with Dark Lysterium and noone needs it anymore. Full auctions are with 105-106% and even these not sells most of the time. Every time I find Dark Lysterium now I wish this to be anything else. Dark Lysterium is already recycle material due to raining with it like crazy and not enough demand for it. It’s time for someone to look into it and find some way to balance things better.
We still wait for new textures we can craft with useless crystals instead of recycling them
I see one new issue after recent updates. It’s Grey Papoo wave issue after adding new 1k Grey Papoo hunting daily mission. It’s seems that some people don’t know where to hunt 1k Grey Papoo and they do it in Grey Papoo wave spot. I already seen few different people hunting here for like an hour. This makes life a lot harder for people who just want to do Daily Papoo Containment mission. Also it’s not the best place to do 1k hunting mission either as someone doing it here need to wait for new event to reset.
I don’t know what is the best way to fix this issue, but my suggestion is at least add a waypoint to Hunters Waterfall Outpost when 1k Grey Papoo mission is tracked.
Hey.
I’ll do a quick reply here while packing for NiM.
About the mob spawns, I can understand it’s frustrating, especially when things change and people are used to doing things a certain way.
The Screecher nest is imo too small for one person and makes them unreachable pretty fast.
It hasn’t been a priority and I don’t think there’s time to do anything for December VU but hopefully we can do something about it soonish.
I’ll see about a wp for Grey Papoos, but that doesn’t mean people will hunt in the easier spots.
Village boars, the wave is packed with Guardians ofc but they can be found in the wild as well,a lot less dense. So there are options for all these mobs, even if they are not perfect.
I’m assuming Dark Lysterium was changed due to the Calypso Resource Mayhem (?) earlier this year, for welding wire needs. But to be clear, we didn’t change anything, so we can’t change it back either. We will have to reach out and try and find out what happened and what the plan is.
We have some other plans though that might help with this situation.
NI doesn’t have useless crystals, but maybe from your perspective they are lol
But we are always looking to give them more uses. Like everything else in development though, it takes some time. However, still always useful to hear feedback and suggestions.
Thank you for your reply
Yes, Dark Lyst caps were removed during Resource Mayhem event, but not it’s dropping like crazy, I don’t think this is healthful in any way.
Regarding useless crystals (and body parts) I mean that the demand for some of them is too low and they just go into recycle most of the time
For example:
[Chimera Hide]
[Azurite Crystal]
[Cerussite Crystal]
[Fluorite Crystal]
[Adamite Crystal]
[Eudialyte Crystal]
[Selenite Crystal]
[Celestite Stone]
[Hyalite Crystal]
[Novaculite Crystal]
[Boar Tail]
[Papoo Palm]
[Papoo Tail]
[Minotaur Horn]
And others.
I know they have uses, but demand is so low that most of them just go to recycle.
I don’t mind recycling them, but would be nice to have some good uses.
And when I say good, I mean you need to think about something that players will use constantly (for example some L items, consumables or something). Furniture, clothing or similar kind of stuff just help very temporary. Not sure if you are allowed to make craftable consumable items (pills) with some buff like run speed, weight increase and variuos others. I see quite good potential for these crystals here which can catch some nice attention to NI from players.
Hehe yeah with the amount of cystals/bodyparts we have, some will be less in demand than others. It’s a tough balancing act since they can also dry out quite easily it seems.
But yeah, it’s an ongoing process and I’m sure we can use at least some of the stuff on that list in the near future.
Craftable consumables was an idea but that doesn’t seem very likely at this time.
Would be nice but seems hard.
For craftable consumables I think you could try to look at enhancer blueprint templates where every success always give 1x of enhancer and in case of big multiple you get residue. This would prevent flooding the market with these consumables.
And then only balancing crafting recipes and consumables so they would be worth crafting and using is left
You could also add like 1 fish to every recipe which would be like bottleneck in crafting consumables, because it’s not hard in most cases to get some crystal and body parts, but if we need to get like few hundred fish for some bigger crafting run, this would require some time. And should also prevent flooding the market with new consumables.
Fish is a good argument and there have been suggestions like that before, well more like cooking fish and other foods which sounds like a great idea. We just can’t do it without proper balancing. But as you say, fish will stop things a little bit probably.
Just don’t count on it happening anytime soon.
