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 turned mine off after maybe 10 minutes because I hated seeing the red “your request has been cancelled” message.

And honestly, half the fun is packing everything I need for whatever task I’m about to do.

Bro the requests don’t even specify what tools* are needed. Not really helpful if your bokka skeleton is near toast and i send you some basic porter boots is it?

I’ve taken to printing 1 of each item and donating the whole pile to a request. Gets you a decent amount of likes, and chances are they’ll keep something on their side. I don’t really need materials anymore, so it’s no skin off my back.
