For the merchant, I feel nothing much other than buying the same thing over n over again. Here are some of my suggestions:
They give out unique quest - Rewards can be unique weapon, blueprint or unique materials (pls not weapon shard or ingots)
Merchant sell a few of them unique or random weapons. Like once in a blue moon, like finley so that community can look forward to it.
Grinnich can ask him to find unique stuff for us like monster hunter support ship (argosy). Player can request Grinnich to look for certain items rather than random.
I think it’s more convenient to start from the beginning of the game with the best equipment.
to buy items from the merchant I have to collect coins and honestly I see it as a waste of time
some things are outdated by now, since they already got changed, but i am a huge fan of merchant quests etc. gives them some more depth than just standing around in town
nobody said anything about obtaining things easy. so please. and again. if you do not want to contribute in a constructive way, please refrain from trolling.
asking the merchant to sell legendary items seems to me like asking to get things more easily..
it’s one thing to give constructive feedback, another thing to say stupid things
then why not say something like “i don’t like buying legendaries, they should be obtained through effort, but when it comes to other weapons, that was possible before and i miss that too” instead of just provoking and trolling. give it a try some time
anyway just for the record you quoted (in a mean and stupid way) a post of mine from 17 days ago and 3 updates ago… in the meantime look at that they have fixed practically all those things I wrote… so I think I am much better off than you when it comes to constructive feedback
Yes I am super down for unique quests to acquire specific items. There are some ingredients that are almost only obtainable from Grinnich, but it’s just a dice roll every day whether or not he’ll be selling.
I do wonder if the addition of ‘target farming’ in future updates will fix this issue.
Also the Bounty quests and challenges don’t really seem worth it. I would rather the reward be ingredients, rather than gear that already drops very commonly while killing enemies. Like throw a ring in the reward pool sometimes, or something more rare. Heck, you can only do these quests once a day or once a week anyways.
I do agree with your post where you combine some of the merchants together and able to craft useful potions. Would be best if they able to do that. Cheers.
I like your idea of target farming also. Also to let other players know, my idea was not to make things easy or give out legendaries like freebies. My idea was to give out specific quest or even to craft unique weapons. By unique weapons, not legendaries because the drop is totally RNG. I haven’t encounter a lightning 2 handed staff before. Until very recently I able to get one. For us, some of our RNG so bad we just get the same repeated weapons or items no matter how much we grind.
We can also have quest like monster hunter to craft for our specific weapon. This also can give another meaning to our exploration by farming the environment.
At the very least drastically improve their frequency of restocking and tweak some prices a little.
They have a lot of fluff overpriced items and honestly the most useful npcs are grinnich and the cook due to selling the highly valuable fish for the focus food and occasionally a gem that isn’t terrible.
i like your ideas. i suggested similar things, just for markos here:
