    Hey, I've seen some comments about the quality (video & sound) of the video (understandable). I just wanted to say that as I'm a volunteer journalist for JeuxOnline, I couldn't borrow any proper camera material (my personal stuff is just outdated, as you well saw LOL).
    At the same time, I didn't want to miss this opportunity to make a video interview. Amazon Games invited us here as Press, and they were expecting press coverage, which of course we got: newworld.jeuxonline.info/actualite/64605/visite-studio-new-world-aeternum-irvine-ca-zone-jcj-ffa-raid-contenus-solo
    Just take the video for what it is: a little bonus. 😉

    I've left and come back 3 different times to New World with over 2k hours played. I'm not sure everything that I didn't enjoy will be fixed, but I really enjoy the leveling experience and I'm going to start fresh again.
    I figured they were working towards a console launch like this, so I was never upset in the same way that many other veteran players were angry. I got frustrated by certain endgame mechanics, and I still think the systems might need some tweaking, but I'm willing to give it another shot, and I'll stick around so long as it's fun.

      It feels like they are putting the game on the good way with this update. Obviously it will still be hard to make amends to everyone, but if they play their cards well with the new dynamics brought by console players, it could be a renewal for the game at medium-long term

    I think AGS should give incentive to do all content not just raid and Cutlass keys.
    Big mistake if they're gonna keep it this way. The game has a shit ton of already existsing potential end game content loops:
    Exploration, crafting, questing, invasions, portals, chest runs, mutations, trials, solo trials, raids, 3v3, influence races, racing, OPR, duels, Wars...
    You literally have all these systems, just put an end game incentive to them all and make the time spent relevant towards gear-progression.

Why would you actively allow players to team knowing the sentiment around the area with teaming and even internally knowing this may happen but wait until people get pissed and leave than attempt to fix it this is truly the AGS way. BTW I already know groups that are prepping for this zone to team the living hell out of it for what it's worth and these are good players btw with thousands of hours in pvp so they aren't scrubs who will just get wooped by your average pvper.

    Look this is great and yes they did a lot of work! Veterans will have to understand that this update is definitely geared to new players or returning players that stopped playing the game shortly after launch. I think now that they have done this they can focus on end game content for veterans just at the moment this was the bigger focus. To be honest though more players = more reason to allocate resources to make more content so all and all this will be very good. Just sorry about veterans that feel like they have been left out.

    • @Nephistos318

      I think until the recent Open Beta it was also not that clear how much of a performance improvement the new client will be. During an informal talk they mention solving 30k bugs for Aeternum release, they committed A LOT on this actually.
      The optimization will benefit to everyone new/returning/veteran players. Also, I don't have any insight on this, but i think there is a good chance that the content cadence increase a lot now.

      ​@@ellis2888 considering the quality of each content, i agree that NW is one of the worthiest game for his price on the market. Despite this, it's still an MMO and a live service game, so many people will see the game "having an end" as an issue.
      Hopefully with this relaunch, they'll be able to focus on delivering content a lot more. I would say (my estimation) that they start working on Aeternum after ROTAE expansion released. If you look at what happened before ROTAE, i mean post Brimstone Sands, we had gear sets, Transmogrification, Raid groups, Cross-server OPR, Influence race, Mounts + contents themselves... which I think is substantial.

      You need a reason to do end game content if it can just be crafted you never have to participate in end game.
      I main ffxiv in that game crafter make money on the gear before max gear as well. Crafters make you the raid ready gear you then buy and slot said gear to do the content to in order to get what is considered best in slot.
      New world looks to be taking this same approach which is good your crafted gear you sell to other players or use yourself will prep you to do the hardest content. Then you get the best gear from doing the hardest content . This is how it should be otherwise no one would participate in end game.

      Knowing that, I suppose it would have made sense that Amazon Games to announce a release date for Throne and Liberty a few months earlier (before the summer) or later (early 2025). I doubt it would have hurt the game in any case. Just my opinion.

    I have played the game since launch one idea I wish I could communicate to the devs; Make end game gear easier to obtain/more balanced. Guild Wars 2 did this where end game pvp is always balanced. So casuals can come in and play when they have free time and not just get destroyed by the people playing non stop. And instead focus heavily on cosmetics like the legendary items, armor, and mounts. Make them a journey to obtain. It feels like the constant balancing and introducing new end game gear/expertise is not rewarding, and is bottlenecking new content. I quite for a while after my 600 gear score became irrelevant with expertise but i would have played non stop if I had chase cosmetics.

Actually the only competitive video games that have competitions and viewers are entirely skill based PVP games(league of legends, fortnight, and guild wars 2 did at first) Most casual pvp players aren't going to be interested in spending moths crafting and collecting just so they can pvp, it actually take out the competitive nature of PVP. Power progression for pve is fine. Pvp it's historically unfavorable for keeping concurrent players.

      I estimate that they start working on this after the release of the ROTAE expansion (season 3). For my article, I verified what released between Season 1 and 3, and I think it was substantial :
      - Gear sets, Transmogrification, Raid Groups, Inter-server OPR, Influence Race, Mounts...
      + Brimstone right before
      + some contents
      + expac itself

      @@MrNutzorg The combat is inspired by souls as stated by the devs. Tight object based hitboxes, dodging, blocking, weighty movements all while HARDLOCKED to your opponent. I'm not saying it's implemented well because there are no instacasting, literal bulletspeed, long range projectiles in souls. They're balanced and tuned enough so you can strafe or react dodge all of it with skill even under hardlock unlike NW. You also can't spam attacks in souls cause there's stamina management also unlike NW. I'm just saying where NW got their idea from and it's not from Tab-target combat. The combat is "dark souls at home with more bullshit" basically and NW is better off sticking with just being reticle based otherwise you can say byebye to skill expression.
