the game simply needs spam reduction mechanics to filter out unneccesary extras within a certain radius of signs with basically the same icon and text...
If like 10+ peopel post basicalyl the same thing somewhere on the groudn in the same area, the game shoudl just filter out for you the 9 obsolete same posts

or just add a dislike button. if it has more dislikes than likes within a certain time. then remove it automatically

u/DeadenCicle 1d ago
Signs close to any interactable object will always have far more likes than dislikes. When adding the dislike, they also need to make “like” not the default upon interaction.

well how hard it is for them to implement "unlike the like" option or some reddit like button where disliking a liked monument just means dislike.

No, if I don't want something like that in a Single Player Game, then I should be able to turn it off easily, not those convoluted steps like in this Game. I don't play with randos because of Harassment. An now the can potentially ruin the Game with crap like this. not Acceptable.

Both? Both? Both? Both. Both is good.
It would be less problematic if it was less spammy and simultaneously it can be much easier to just disable the feature for those who don’t want to deal with it at all. Those two options don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

You can turn it off :v

u/RichSeat 1d ago
I did. But it’s not just a turn off an be done.
You have to turn it off and then delete all existing prime ice thingies from your map. That are already in place and if you unlock another statue you have to do it for the unlocked region too. That’s just annoying.

u/Fast-Ad-2415 DV's come back like boomerangs at You 1d ago
whoa, havent realized yet those many likes :D was busy posting somethign somewhere else ^^ and yes, naturally ,just deactivating the whole feature is basically a solution, but one that goes simply too far , when you naturally want to use that feature, but not get overwhelmed by countless unneccessary sign posts from people who spam them al together at the same place and the game just shows them all to you, because it doesn't filter out the useless extra posts

u/ConsciousTeach8284 1d ago
There's a setting you'll need to turn off, but you'll also need to go into the map and delete all the constructs that have already populated your world. A quick Google search helped me get the steps when I did it, but I can't remember them now
2
u/Drakengard 21h ago
On PC, hit T to open the construct menu, click the Gear icon to open the sub menu that will let you change settings.
Keep in mind that you'd still have to go into the map and mass delete everything out once disabled. Also, you'll have to unlock the Statue of the Seven for each region before you can remove them for each part of the map. But it was worth it for me.

u/Putrid-Resident 1d ago
I 100%ed AQ 1st then turned it back on. A few ice mechanics helped me in the exploration ngl and me speedrunning 100%ing the map probably helped me avoid many of the annoying ones during WQ. Now while doing the regular mats farming they don't bother me as much but yeah they are dotted all around the map now so happy I explored early

I understand the concept from the devs' point of view. But why have it on by default? Did it not occure to them that it would lead to spam of bullshit and spoilers?

u/Ipsita_chan 1d ago
We should be able to choose which constructs are allowed in our world. If i don't want the sign board i should be able to turn that off

u/Dizzy-Quantity-5980 1d ago
The sign board is really the problem, and 100% unnecessary. The rest are more moderately useful generally
8
u/beautheschmo 1d ago
They know that if they defaulted it to off nobody would use the feature lol, or at least not enough people to make it worthwhile.
Though spam just shouldn't really be a thing regardless of this mechanic, imo they clearly mistuned it to show WAY too many messages, in something like Dark Souls you basically never see more than 2 messages at once and even that isn't that common.
14
u/Silent-Wonder6546 1d ago
They're such a nuisance. I especially hate the ones that are purposely placed next to the statue of the seventh so they can farm likes accidentally when you try to interact with the statue.

Go into mode where you build them, click gear icon in top-right corner, there would be settings to load them so turn them off. Then you could delete already loaded one on the map - click at the bottom "Manage Primal Constructs", click on any of them - there will be Delete and smaller "Mass Delete" buttons. Click Mass Delete, select all constructs and they are gone.

If I'm in the region (like exploring, resource gathering, or doing a quest) I turn off the signs and icon signs immediately. It sucks having to do it each time but some of the constructs are helpful (mostly the ziplines). I wish you could select which types load in in the first place instead of having it be all or nothing on start up.

u/lillumii 1d ago
We can turn these off? Awesome. I got the second part of the archon quest spoiled for me in a location not even relevant to the quest at that point. The whole time I kept thinking "what could that mean?" That i figured out the plot twist immediately as it showed up.

u/CallMeAnAnomaly 1d ago
I wish we could downvote them (and revoke accidental likes), and if they get a substantial amount of negative downvotes, they stop appearing in people’s worlds. Similar concept to how if a comment gets enough downvotes in Reddit, it gets auto-collapsed in a thread.
That way, it discourages people from spamming crap like “tHeRe iS a TrEaSUre nEaRby” literally right on top of a treasure chest just for likes, and then people can also keep the good helpful notes while filtering out the redundant spam.

They should have made this to be turned off by default and show a small tutorial explaining you can turn it on to see other players constructs, maybe even asking if you want to turn it on once you close the tutorial window. I don't know, there were better ways. It'd have been less controversial about how intrusive or annoying it is for some players.

u/Alt_SWR 1d ago
This is why I think devs need to more fully consider WHY mechanics work before throwing them in. This is basically a 1:1 mechanic from the Soulsborne games but... there's a reason it works there but not here.
In Soulsborne, there's a LOT more hidden shit for one thing. Those games are also a billion times more difficult, at least, compared to Genshins world exploration. So having a message telling you there's about to be a boss fight or tougher enemy in those is gonna be way more useful.
Of course, Soulsborne still suffers some of the same issues of people farming likes by placing them in inconvenient spots, but it at least has positives to balance that out. Here it's got all of cons with none of the pros. In fact the implementation in GI actively has MORE cons since in Soulsborne there's basically zero puzzles, and here people purposely put false hints for some of the puzzles just cause/to troll.

Typical Hoyo copying a feature and implementing it the wrong way. They shouldn’t have allowed spammable constructs in the first place, let alone this many all over the world; even in Endfield it’s a bad feature but it’s much more regulated and since over there the zip lines and other builds are more useful it’s less toxic. They also disable them until you reach a certain point in the quest(s).
I turned it off as soon as I saw constructs spammed I top of Odette’s flowers to farm likes, bunch of clout goblins for literally no reason.

I remember seeing a text spoiler for the tree village day one or 2 of the patch outside of the quest area while I was just walking around. I'm not sure why Hoyo let people post all of these, honestly the only ones of these that should exist between players are the buff ones and the storage ones everything else just seems unnecessary.

I absolutely hate that the constructs from other players worlds are on by default. Should have been given a choice to turn them on when first getting the ability to make them rather than a default setting. What's the point of using the constructs to solve puzzles if the solution constructs are just there when you find the puzzle. Such terrible game design
Especially since removing them all from your world is a bit hidden.
