My opinion about the QoL in the game

Learning the game and memorizing the DETAILS are not the same thing. I’ve played this game for about 800 hours and i still keep forgetting which monolith i have to go to in order to farm specific items.

But why is that? Is that information not valueable enough to be memorized?

There will always be individual people with individual circumstances but a lot of people seems to not really want to properly engage with games and their intricacies, because it became more and more standard, that a game presents all that info on a silver tablet.

@Lazar85

Additional information (icons) would only be helpful

I don’t say it wouldn’t be helpful. I just say that it is not necessary.

@Lazar85

just like item icons in CoF prophecies.

But those are randomized. Exclusive Item Rewards are not.

I guess I’m one of the few who kind of likes arena echos?

A kindred spirit!! I love them as I indicated above. Best type of echo in the game. What’s so fun about regular echos? You ignore everything and run to the obective and done. Are we having fun yet? Or it’s spire-based and the spires will one-shot you at high corruption and you still have to read items on the ground.

I really don’t know what to say to that. Not sure if serious?

I like arenas in echoes. Arenas could be improved, but I like them as a concept to break monotonous gameplay.

I think the only reason crafting materials don’t go into stash immediately does appear to be a new player bottom pat. I think it’s better to ensure people have an easier wedge into the game, than new players picking up items that immediately disappear and they can’t read the descriptors.
However, as this has been suggested for years I think, we should have the option to set ourselves. New players get default, then we can change to immediately go into stash.

So it could be an auto-loot option that defaults to OFF out of the box. Once everyone gets utterly bored picking up shards manually (and they will sooner or later), then they can turn the auto-loot option ON. Win-win.

It’s not presenting on a silver tablet, it’s called QoL! Features that eliminate unneccassary repetetive steps to access something.

Yes, but that’s not the point. Imagine if you had to click on them to see what the rewards are. Even if prophecies were repetetive, it still would make sense to attach reward icons to it for better visualisation. There are also some QoL in the game that i personally don’t need nor find neccessary, but it benefits other ppl instead. So it is a no-lose situation.
