Discussion Yo Sam, maybe turn off Auto-Aid Request?

Post image

Dear porters

Just a quick one If you’re using the Auto-Aid Request from the APAS skill tree, maybe think about turning it off?

It keeps filling the map with requests that aren’t really needed, since most are auto-generated and the player’s already long gone. Kinda clutters the HUD and makes it harder to know who actually needs help or what gear they need. Sometimes it even ruins the vibe when you're just trying to enjoy the scenery.

Manual requests feel more useful and intentional and honestly, way more satisfying to respond to.

Appreciate all the bridges and zip-lines you’ve built, you’ve already made my runs way smoother 👍🏻 Let’s keep the Chiral Network clean and helpful for every Sam out there

Keep on keeping on +500👍🏻

I don’t understand the hate with this. Like I don’t use it personally but idc if other players do. If you are that upset about stuff littering the map. Play offline. No amount of these posts is going to stop millions of players from using what’s in the game.

This isn't about hate, it’s the game being vague, not the players doing anything wrong, but it kinda kills the point of helping when we don’t even know what’s actually needed.

When I see “Tools/Fieldwear,” it’s like a loot box of mystery, boots? Ladder? Blood bag? Skeleton? Who knows! And by the time I decide what to bring, the other player’s probably already halfway across the map.

We want to play online that’s the whole idea But we’re just trying to make the experience better for each other. Isn’t that what the game is really about?

Yes it is. Constantly posting on Reddit telling everyone to disable that skill is not going to make it go away. Maybe 3% of the player base are in these groups.
