  • Amazon teased an announcement for months about the future of New World, building up hype until the Game Awards.
    The ensuing announcement has resulted in review bombing and general frustration beyond just the announcement but more so about how frustrating their communication has been...and well...the fact that they now call their MMO an Action RPG.

      They knew what they were doing. It was all testing and prep for a console release. This is their 1.0 release. That’s why they focus on the early game so much when people begged for end game content. Once it hits console they might start on end game content since that’s all that’s left at that point, but far too late for their current player base at that point.

      My thoughts is because MMO for console players could be considered World of Warcraft. Alot of young console players could be thought of as those who play Fortnite or call of duty and so perhaps calling it an ARPG sounds like the Witcher or dragon age. So to them it could sound cooler than saying MMO. I don't believe they are getting rid of any aspects of the game. Though anyway anyone could be right or wrong at this stage.

    Let PC players wait for 6+ months while constantly hyping up their big announcement in June, only for it to be basically just a console port and some minor content that won't last longer than a week or two. All of that while trying to rebrand and repackage the same lackluster game riddled with bugs to unsuspecting console players for a quick cashgrab and showing a middlefinger to the PC community. Perfect case study on how to run an MMO with a great foundation into the dirt.

    Sounds design was the first thing i noticed when I played New world. It was SO good, the echoing of trees, players mining ore. Top notch, I do not understand how the sound design team is so far ahead of everything else in the game. The icing on the cake, why I will not go back after about 3k hrs is the healing. Healing flat out not fun. Then in this "action combat" system people are forced to stand in a circle for heals. IDK why that alone made it past alpha. This game was so close to being amazing, AGS totally screwed the pootch. I have a ton of resentment because I spent so many hours just hoping at some point the game would get better.

    I don't care about MMO/RPG labelling.
    What i care about is brain dead devs, the lies, the BS promises, the bugs, the servers, etc.
    The game really is dead.
    Die hard players still hang around hoping for change.
    So many let downs with this game.
    The console launch won't be as big or good as they are hoping for.
    They are really more focused on LOTR and just appeasing PC players and adding console.
    They are 2 years too late for reviving this game with crossplay, controller support, etc.
    I've moved on to other games like many others have.
    They don't give 2 hoots about us legacy founding players.
    It's all about profit margins coming from new players, but it won't last, all new players become old players who get tired of the same BS.
    The "new car smell" will wear off quickly and reveal its truly a salvaged title.

If they are trying to do that without claiming its an MMO, then I would have to agree that they are just pretty much moving on from that aspect. My friends and I have over 800 hours in the game and ultimately stopped because the amount of bots that would stay near the higher level fishing spots, wood, etc and it would be designed to just go from point a to b and constantly collect it. Then it would sell the stuff to the point no one would ever make money on the trading posts. They had no control over that.

    You are not wrong. I have 6042 hours played in NW since launch but I haven't played in the last two months because nearly everyone I know and played with, stopped playing. AGS has consistently mismanaged communication and information. They claim that the vocal dissatisfaction is just part of a very vocal minority and that the majority of players are getting what they want from the New World DEVs in regards to fixes/features. However, the attrition numbers say otherwise. This game is beautifully rendered and has a lot of great content for a few hundred hours. After that, there is little to do except what I did: farm expeditions on muscle memory, do endless OPRs on the one and only map they have had since day 1, login for war after war after war, and ignore the horrible way the devs have tried to balance weapons/abilities while introducing new bugs with each patch and still having old bugs that have been around since 2021. Such a shame...

  • @Fallenangel0w0
    @Fallenangel0w0 13 днів тому

    I have been digging through game terminology lately to try and find a game that fits my wants best.
    I think the issue might be the definition of an Action RPG. Sometimes this refers to a game that is not an MMO, but sometimes it refers to the gameplay/combat style in which you are actively attacking or even aiming at your target manually, instead of tab target and smashing keys.
    So far my search for a MMORPG that you can play first person, has dodging, shield blocking mechanics and in which aiming actually matters, meaning headshots do more damage, has led me to Destiny 2 and New World Aeternum.
    I currently play ESO, and while I love the game, it frustrates me to no end that my attacks aimed at the head cause no more damage than one I shot slightly outside of their foot, yet magically hits them.

    New World on PC was only dying because they let it die. A lot of players gave AGS the benefit of the doubt and their trust that they would eventually get stuff fixed and add things we could use in the game (more than one OPR map, barbershop, etc.) and the players got burned. The same thing could happen after console launch with the same people making the same decisions on what players really need. Thumbs up for the video.

    I think the Devs realized in trying to create Rise of Angry Earth that the lumberjack engine just isn’t going to cut it when it comes to making content. So this is their way of saying, this game is never going to be a strong MMO. So let’s cut our losses and take what we have to the console market as a coop or solo action RPG. With the console market we can meet and possibly exceed those expectations. But for PC, this is now an open world RPG, with some PvP and group content.

  • @Douchemaster_McChest
    @Douchemaster_McChest 20 днів тому

    I got over 2200 hours in the game, but went on hiatus a few months after Angry Earth expansion was released. Then when this "big" announcement came and went, my heart sank even further. For shits and giggles, last night I logged back on to New World (I hadn't uninstalled it yet, while still keeping up with the steam updates it was given over the last few months.) My 4 characters are still in the same exact position/location I had left them earlier in the year. I decided to run 2 faction missions last night in Elysian WIlds and nothing has been changed. The same feeling came back quickly which caused me to take a hiatus earlier in the year. After 20 minutes, I logged back off. It's just repetitive fluff with no meaningful rewards, especially if you are already geared out for the specs you like to play. Biggest complaints still hold for me: There is no meaningful Endgame that has much replayability, especially after you are geared out. No multi-boss big raids (though, seems like a 10-man raid is coming with multiple bosses.) Doing the 3-5 man expeditions/dungeons over and over becomes boring, doing chest runs becomes boring, running faction and town missions becomes boring, and gathering/refining/crafting becomes boring and quite frankly has become useless too. Also, the limited number of types of mobs in the game is disappointing. And when they do introduce a "new" type of mob, it's just a reskin of an existing mob. As for PVP, I can't comment on that in New World. I like to PVP in other games but not in New World. Tried it once and hated it. Still going to keep it installed on my PC until October 15 when the new game update/relaunch occurs to check it out. But I don't think nothing major is going to change, especially for us PC gamers.

First controller support and most recently reworked combat, which has left the current state of the game a complete buggy mess. AGS gave everyone hope by saying there would be a big announcement in June that everyone would love. However, the big announcement was just more crap about console release and the weird shift to being an ARPG. I've put thousands of hours into New World and I used to think it'd be a game I'd be playing for the next 5-10 years, but now I wonder if I'll ever even play it again.

    You have 200hrs.. I have over 2000 hours... I played the Alpha, Beta and played at launch until last September.. You are right they have NO idea how to communicate they have NO idea how to run a MMO and that was my complaint when AGS announced this team... the game was amazing, but they DO NOT listen to any feedback they are given.. I was once the number 1 crafter on my server. My company well 2 companies because we had that many active players... Gave so much feedback but they listened to None from us or anyone else.. 1 PVP outpost rush map almost 3 years later.. really.... We had so many cool ideas for the territories and control and advantaged the company and factions get from controlling them... The videos the NW team puts out are a joke they make fun of the players they tell you nothing... The game is dead.. yes there are about 5000 players... but from game that had over 1 million at launch.... its DEAD they are jumping to console to squeeze money out of it however every PC player is telling the Console players to stay away... AGS needs to fire the people in charge of this game and start fresh.. Do they really think after this game, anyone would buy a MMO LOTR from them..... HELL NO!

    I got the feeling that they're pulling a SW:TOR. Where they have the mmo elements from existing format and content. But future content is focused on a single-player story and content.

      The press statements sound just like the Secret World Legends launch stuff. It's the same kind of stuff being said, and I remember what they did to Secret World. This is not a good thing, and I don't even play New World. I just worry that its players are gonna be hit with that same wretched revamp that they don't want.

    Played during beta and honestly when they revamped the PVP system just a few months before launch against the community's wishes I knew then as I still know today the devs were gonna do what they wanted to do cause to them it's not a game... its a way to make money.

    I don't have any real problems with this announcement. I still think there's some massive problems with certain decisions for this game, but not these announcements.
    IMO the goal here is capture a new MMO crowd with New World... teens and young 20's first MMO, now on console... I think there's a negative connotation with MMO for some players because MMO = massive time sink. IMO they are trying to capture a mini-FFXIV ARR moment with this re-release. I think very few players have really played through the revamped story and I think it's better than most people realize... and to be fair, the game does play like a 3rd person ARPG.
    My actual problem with the game has to do with a progression item, Chromatic Seals, being locked behind gold. Many important gear upgrades require this item, but you can only buy one a day and they cost 5000g each, plus faction tokens (but the faction tokens can be aquired pretty easily IMO).
    Last time I was playing my gold supply was slowly diminishing because even though I played a ton I wouldn't passively make enough gold to cover the cost of these seals. It would take an hour or two of my time dedicated just for gold generation to afford the seals, and that's just not how I wanted to spend my time in game. Most people I knew who wanted to play competitively (territory control etc.) would just RMT.
    Maybe making gold has been made easier, but that's not really my point... these seals were an important part of upgrading gear, and there's already a daily throttle built into them. Doubling down and making it also into a gold sink is really bad design. Gold sinks and other progression bottlenecks should not be tied to each other for something that's needed pretty often. I don't have a problem with the gold cost or the time limit of another item, Azoth Inductors, I think they are called because an Azoth inductor literally allowed you to make one perfect (3 perk) piece of gear every week... So a 1 week cooldown and a 25k cost does make sense, but I never even got to consider buying these because I never had enough to buy both the Chromatic Seals and the Azoth Inductors.
    Anyway.. my actual hope for New World, and the only reason I might play it again, is that my son lives in Germany and we play video games together about once a week...he's on Xbox and I'm on PC. If I can get him interested in a game like this it would be a lot more fun than playing Rocket League for 6 hours (for me at least).... However, I only give him like a 30% chance that he'll actually like the game enough to want to play it much.

    That was a political speech right there if i ever saw one, they don't want to name a specific genre 'cause they probably have plans for the future that the MMOrpg players that currently playing most likely wont like ..Milking money as long as they can, from as many as they can - I say its a sinking ship, It's not a game made for gamers, it's a game made for shareholders ..But what do i know..

    I don't think I've ever seen an MMO whose box art made me want to play it less than New World. There was just absolutely nothing compelling or interesting to me about the look of it based on the presented aesthetic. I honestly still don't know anything about the game. Just. "Wow a conquistador centric MMO based around 'the new world', yeah that sounds like 1/10 ass."

    • @shimapanzer9930
      @shimapanzer9930 14 днів тому

      That's the problem with MMO players honestly. It bleeds into the devs, why create a new world to *live* in, when you can just make a generic map for people to get addicted to a numbers game in?
      You see it a lot with older MMO players, don't care about anything other than number go up. Lore? Aesthetic? Worldbuilding? nahh, that's nerd shit. It's such a shame, because when MMOs are at their peak (IMO with FFXI) you get genuinely moving pieces of art like no other.

    game is good I have 4800 hours on the devaloka server and 4000 on artorius, the game would be perfect if they left the base game + expansion for 120 reais (very affordable) come back with a threshold chip (I liked leveling armor) I encourage you to do dg in search of them , remove the chromatic seal and inductor, man, I really liked roulette, that emotion of coming encore and selling it for 150k +, or going m10 to try to come internally encore, returning to this roulette and drop system (nowadays the majority come all bound killing the game's economy in relation to the sale and purchase of weapons and sets), have more maps to change the dynamics of gameplay, for example, have standard options and options with other objectives, have instanced and casual warfare without territorial value, increase the pvp track and give you a unique skin for those who have a 300 pvp track (example), reduce the value of the game and focus on having beautiful skins and exploring the game with a game store, with a name rename ticket, selling houses for cash (not houses it bothers anyone and it wouldn't be pay to win) like that.

    All these PC players are whistling past the graveyard, upset they aren't getting shiny new toys and the announcement was solely for new players on console. Wake up call: Amazon is many things, but one of them is not stupid. They will not continue to throw bad money after good. New World's current PC population means it is swiftly heading to maintenance mode, and shutdown sooner than later. It makes sense for them to see console as the one hope to get the game back up to healthy player levels. Boggles the mind that people don't understand that.

    I liked New World quite a bit til max level and having to do the chest train/circle to increase your gear. The crafting/collecting is one of the best. I just never understood why you wouldn’t have the best gear drop from dungeons. Maybe they have changed it I haven’t played in a long time. But everyone I played with quit for the same reason

    Been playing this game off and on since day one. Is it worth the money? Eh, I don't know, story is forgettable, combat was good, but is getting worse... So get it on some sale if you really want to check it out, but do expect a lot of bugs even those for main story and don't expect them to be fixed (I have quests that I cannot finish even 10 months after reporting it). Just don't hope that this is a "forever game", or devs and management will remind you that it is not.

    I feel like if this game going to get more traction is they need actual classes/skills they are very limited to what weapons/skills to use. I enjoyed it for the first month or 2 maybe and i just got bored of it. I just feel like MMO's now a days need variety to keep people entertained, the only MMO that did skills based on weapon choice good, was Guild Wars. Ive tried other games like that and it just didn't keep my attention long.

I put 1300ish hours into ESO but now there isn't really enough to keep me interested and I'm not really that interested in mastering the combat. Everyone says they really liked New World but they only last around a month and then put it down.
