Npc - Gear buy/steal/gift/challange not reset...again ( in some case)

[hot swift]

Some Npc we are use to rob/challange or buy from them not reset at the start of season ( even in season 2).
Thats slow the start of a game we use to rutine run around the map and get few sets ( rare or epic ) to speed up early gearing when we are low on bread/stamina and dont wanna run gear dungeons - when we focus on level up in goblin and talent up.Lately in game noone go and steal or buy from Npc so that feature is literally not used at all in other way then day 1 or 2... Please fix this next season thanks

[long mural]

yeap i agree

[manic hull]

True. As soon as dung is opened tomorrow this gear will be irrelevant

[dusty yarrow]

Thats Intention and not a bug, and is explained kind of in the mails for season start, it says we start the season on day 70 of the previous so it is continuous play of the season and not a fresh start

[hot swift]

Where is please explained Npc dont reset what they sell and what can be stealed from them ?

oh nvm that was answer for @manic hull

[manic hull]

See this is where my stupidity and lack of knowledge comes out 😅😅

[dusty yarrow]

Like i said, indirectly explained as the season continues on day 70 of the previoues season, this does not state directly that stores dont refresh, but was answered by officials to the modcrew on season 1 -> 2 transition already

[hot swift]

Ok i dont read this nowhere in any notes - but its interesting that some npc who sell gear refresh some not - some challanged npc reset some not - even some gifts for npc reset ... and some not

[dusty yarrow]

Only those you didnt do in the previoues season have some

[hot swift]

i do every season at start all-around the map npc for buy - steal - gift -> for epic gear and set pieces even the gifted one

but now only half of them reset

[dusty yarrow]

That was the part i ment

[hot swift]

we probably talking about something different

The npc selling gear is on daily reset same as stealing

[dusty yarrow]

If you fail, yes. But the seasonal reset is different

[hot swift]

fail what ?

[dusty yarrow]

Steal

It resets the next day

To try again

[hot swift]

i literally dont steal from npc in whole season 2

i steal day 1

there is not even the gear on npc to steal or buy

thats why iam reporting this as a bug

iam talking about this

every season from the start of the game everyone go and take the gear for start from that

steal/gift/buy set piece for 25 k gold

this season this dont reset

[lunar path]

Yes and this is the intended way

Stealing gear to push your season start never was intended by devs but an oversight

[hot swift]

ok so people who dont steal in season 2 or buy them can go ahead in season 3 ? And buy them ? 😄

[lunar path]

You can do it once. After doing so you can't do it again even in the next Season

[hot swift]

interesting thx for answer so now there is running fresh characters with full team in epic and rest of us is day one without gear 😄

Thanks for ur time if this is not a bug and its intended i dont even know why we have npc around the world selling something as a rare/epic gear

When we 90% of season after 2 weeks just staying at Vortex and dont even move around the map

[neon pumice]

Absolutely ridiculous that you can’t gain gear from anywhere on Day 1

It was always the case that we could on OG and with no opportunity to do so now, how the hell are we supposed to complete content??

[lunar path]

It is a remnant from the earlier game when the NPC were kind of like helping low playing players to catch up on some gear

[neon pumice]

Low playing players is literally everyone in day 1 😂😂

[lunar path]

You still can... Second day Grave of Venom opens. You can still buy blue gear and you can start working on Talent shards

[neon pumice]

You can’t buy blue gear if you bought it last season

[lunar path]

Since those vendors where you could steal gear are not located in the first part of OG story it is not for Players from day 1. This only changed when those locations became available in later versions

[neon pumice]

It’s the same as stealing

You can not buy it nor steal it if you did that before

[lunar path]

#1442879955490050108 message

It is a remnant which will now get out of the game and equal out players opportunities

[neon pumice]

Why have you pasted a link to something I have seen

It’s ridiculous

[lunar path]

Thank you very much for this constructive input

[neon pumice]

The devs may have intended no stealing, but not being able to buy it is mad

[lunar path]

It looped back to the information provided prior that is why I linked it back

[neon pumice]

This needs escalating

And I seem to remember this being stated last season too

[hot swift]

The npc u can buy full set of rare dmg gear ( 5x for 25k gold ) is literally in 2 nd city u visit...

25 minutes in gameplay even if u start new

[neon pumice]

There was zero gear available from vendors I had bought from in S2 or S1

[hot swift]

And tbh my biggest problem when iam reporting this is on my main acc - i cant buy or steal ( yes i do that season 1 ) on my 2nd acc ( where i steal/buy/gift in season 2) i can do that... 3rd account who buy/steal/gift in season 2 can do that

So my main account run in +4 grey items ( not even full gear ) and my other 2 accounts run in full rare gear and someone is running around in 4 characters with +12 epic gear sets

[lunar path]

On day 1.
Vortex is for 2 days so you have tomorrow to farm Venom to your hearts content and get your farm for Vortex

Where else would it be hindering you in your progression?

[hot swift]

But that dont change anything - day one u can push rank 1 in pvp just by be fast to run it early for example

the same with we waste a stamina/bread today by farming all day

[neon pumice]

Ok, I am going to ask again, has this been escalated to the Devs, because it’s not on at all!

Some people are literally running around naked!

What is the issue with being able to steal/buy gear??

Arena is hobbled, Dungeons are hobbled etc

Unless of course you are a Kraken with i5 on every hero in the team!

Otherwise no-one has a hope of winning the first past the post in the dungeons etc 🤬🤬

[lunar path]

Regarding all your questions:

This has been forwarded. I don't get the second part of "because it's not on at all". If this is referring to the point of not all people having the same gear at the start -> this is due to not all people buying all gear from vendors in prior Seasons so them having a disadvantage in a prior Season now results in them having a day 1 advantage in this Season.

I don't think people are running around naked. There are at least grey gear on day 1 for all available.

The issues with buying/stealing gear are still:

• it was never intended to be available at season start to get up to legendary gear, even epic or rare wasn't intended.
• if I'm not mistaken it got announced that there will be adjustments on what will be changed for entering new Seasons
• the Seasonal style of Dragonheir is to start with nothing every Season and work your way up, not buy/steal things to make it easy
• this issue has been addressed in the form of adjusting the availability of vendors selling/having gear

Arena, Dungeons etc are meant to be challenging which it now is due to limited availability from gear. Players will start to have to allocate and farm specifically and work with limited resources.

Dungeons, as mentioned, will be challenging so even Krakens shhouldn't be able to breeze through just because they have high inspirations.

[neon pumice]

Tell that to the guy that already beat 20mil on Vortex!

You CAN’T buy gear from vendors IF you bought it from them previously.

I have stated this already above, so please don’t go all high and mighty with other experienced players like @hot swift and myself as we have both been around the block more than a few times mate.

All you needed to say was, “I have passed it along” and we can then await some further info from the Devs

Thanks

[hot swift]

literally u say we cant buy rare equipment and there is people who challange npc and buy 3 mythic gear piece on every character 😄 thats locked for us in 2 weeks 😄

day one

then another one even with +20 gear

[hot swift]

but sure its so game-breaking to steal or buy rare gear - move around the word from npc to npc

[midnight summit]

There is clearly a problem

[lunar path]

To clarify there are still ways to get legendary gear besides stealing.
If those players didn't challenge NPCs or bought gear in the past Season this will be available for them this season but not in the following Seasons

[hot swift]

i have confirmed my friend from alliance beat the npc last season - now he is able to duel him again

[neon pumice]

Which still doesn’t answer the core point……..krakens at i5 are winning races and it’s NOT a level field

All vendors at least, should be re-stocked on each season, and they are not.

[hot swift]

u cant steal legendary in the game from any npc u can steal just few epic gear items

[hot swift]

and to get the the myth gear i already told some people can challange npc last season can do it again

if they cant do it again in next season is not a problem this season

[dusty yarrow]

With the charisma rills ypu can get ore to forge legendary

[hot swift]

yes but u cant gift when u already do that

someone can even he do it on S1 and S2

same like stealing mention before

[bitter plaza]

just challenge them

[hot swift]

u cant fight npc when u already do it

if u mean this

[glad solar]

you can, you just don't get rewards second time

[hot swift]

do u even read the topic ? 😄

[dry magnet]

Dear Traveler,

Thank you for your suggestion regarding the NPC challenge not resetting. We have forwarded your feedback to the relevant team for review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Wishing you a great time in the game!

[neon pumice]

Thanks @dry magnet hopefully the team are able to fix this for those behind us on S3, and the future seasons too.

Being a seasonal game should mean all the stores, various challenges (Ancient Ruins as well as the NPC’s etc) etc have their rewards reset too.

After all it’s only right, fair and proper for the game and the players and the economy too

Thanks again Flora
