This is what has stopped me from dropping 60$ and starting New World. It looks fun and enjoyable, but I like MMOs with longevity. I know I can get plenty of hours out of New World, but if they don't expand the content, then I can't see the game lasting long.
Series x newbie here. I'm loving the game and I left throne and liberty for it. It feels like it has more life and soul to it. The art style is beautiful. The harvesting and crafting is satisfying. I definitely understand the need for a road map though. There needs to be a healthy relationship between the players and devs for a game to succeed.
@@MoronTwinsRacing what made you switch from throne and liberty. I love Throne and Liberty. Especially the focus on multiplayer activities, guilds feel like a community. I feel like new world is focused on single player and no one praises multiplayer
@@ThisIsRuskoeveryone praises pvp that’s why everyone does the pve stuff to get better pvp gear and the combat man like oh my the combat it’s really just one of a kind for my self personally
@ThisIsRusko the solo content just felt empty and lifeless. The msq doesn't really flow. Each chapter is like it's own story unrelated to the last. I only got to somewhere around level 30 before getting bored of everything. The art style, visuals, and honestly the buy to pay option turned me onto it. After playing it, I feel like they did good with setting up the MSQ and it all flows nicely. The harvesting and crafting systems are engaging and satisfying. And there is a nice balance between pve and pvp content in my limited experience.
New World is so good that people complain that it's not better 😂 I think if crafting took less resources or resources were more plentiful could solve many issues. The gameplay isn't the issue
My biggest complaint at this time might be the lack of ore veins. I don't think there is enough for the current player base, too much competition lol. I just got to level 28 and just joined a faction. So there's still a lot of content that I haven't experienced and that makes me optimistic
Whats funny is I was there at launch for PC and with the 918,000 concurrent player base didint even feel close to what this launch feels like because of the 4500 server pop cap. Servers feel so much more alive today than back then.
I just returned. I played 4 weeks in 2021 (but like 200h 😅) and back then there was no endgame. However i loved the atmosphere, the music, the crafting. Being a WOW player, NW felt like a single player RPG gone MMO and i loved that. Now i dont have as much time and started a week late. But i still love this game. Sure there wont be endgame content like in WOW raiding or mythic dungeons, but i could just grind out all skills to 250, that's fun and relaxing
I am baffled when people talk about playing a game for thousands of hours and then saying it doesn’t have enough content to make a game last. Like, you did it, you played all the content. You’re done lol
I’m a person who plays thousands of hours of a game and it baffles me too the amount of ppl crying about there being “no content”. Ppl always want something to cry about.
It’s because the lack of content is an issue for OTHER people. PvP in this game is evergreen content. New world has easily one of the best pvp combat systems for a mmo if not the best. but because the players who don’t interface with pvp often (or don’t like the lack of variety) don’t have a lot to do elsewhere they quit, and that makes the population of pvp activities suffer
@scrotimusprime6521 yeah great pvp, blatantly op things, it being horrible above 80 ping, you have to guess when to dodge, oh yeah attack speed being attached to ping as well a person with 40-60 ping does 20% more dps than someone with 100 to 120. GREAT SYSTEM.
Imagine thinking an MMO should have less than a certain amount of content to keep the end game going. All MMOs die of no content, just the way it goes.
@@paladinsas9078 ratings on the PS5 seems high. Only reason why I didn't buy on console is because I have it on pc and my wife ain't bothered to play it....yet. there was another UA-camr who bought a second ps5 just to play with his wife so yeah, numbers on steam are skewed atm.
I was playing T&L up until this release. I've been solely playing NW since. I'm sure I will go back and play, because I'm a "gaming nomad" anyway. I play a number of games. NW is definitely getting my attention right now. I even started teaching one of my twins how to play as she loves to game.
I got this game on launch pc wouldn't play on full-screen so couldn't play on Windowed, 2 years later sandstone came out and I was more pc savvy I figured out how to launch it full-screen I've loved every moment maybe because I had to catch up. so I believe the new players will also love this experience as it's such a great game catching up. :)
I picked it up for the Series X and particularly enjoy playing it on my big tv. It's nice to play without reading glasses. I enjoy the "Lost" TV show like story, the gathering/crafting loop, and the overall feel of movement and exploration. I've gotten my money's worth out of it playing it as if it's basically singleplayer. I have little or no interest in "maining" a game or playing it in perpetuity as I normally play/mod single-player games. I dropped you a like. Cheers!

Hi first time subscriber and gave a like, I'm really enjoying New world on my Xbox Series X. I hope they keep it going and fresh as I'm level 32-33 and this is my first time playing new world, I find the game incredibly addicting as you can craft a bunch of weapons, accessories, jewelry, armor, food, tonic's you name it just fabulous game. If somehow they don't keep it fresh or come out with new DLC or expansion I will go back to ESO online. Happy Gaming 💯👾🕹️🎮🙂
@@gingerlovesmmos Thank you do you have a gamer tag or invite, so we can meet up in game? That is if it is okay with you. I would have to give you the server I'm on and my character name. Please let me know maybe we can play together online or do raids, quests and so forth. I'm looking for some new friends online. Happy Gaming 💯🤟👾🕹️🎮
I just downloaded the game on Ps5 and would love to find some people to play with. Never played NW but sunk a ton of hours in WoW. Subbed and liked too!
as someone who played for a bit on release and got to max level, I just had an ok time with the game but nothing was there that gripped me enough to stay after that. fast forward and trying the game again after the update I was surprised how much more I enjoyed almost every aspect of the game. i felt more engaged and in general I'm having a lot of fun. also something that I like about new world compared to a lot of other games I play is that it's super chill and being able to relax and play was a nice change. overall though after hitting max level, completing the main story campaign and DLC I still do feel somewhat of a desire to carry on playing. however, I do kind of see that dropping off again the way it did at launch due to the lack of endgame etc to keep me hooked long term. unless something changes I guess I don't mind New World being one of those game I pick up every once in a while after updates and then taking a break again. p.s. the message at the end of the video, thank you for that. i needed it rn lol
What the game needs: A third arena map, a second and third OPR map to go in to rotation, more incentive for open world pvp(Influence races did help with open world pvp a lot). Also, add a few more raids. That's all they gotta do. No a whole other zone. Just add those things next year and a lot of veterans griping about lack of content would shut up.
Keep in mind that console players are not being shown on steam charts, so the actual number of active players is alot higher. I think it would be very difficult to say exactly how much, but AFAIK from my experience the servers are wildly populated.
What do you think about the quests from the Trials of Aeternum? In my opinion they are quite heavy for the casual console gamer audience, level 150 in a trade skill week 1, level 250 in the second week jeez
The faction boosters will level it up fast. Before you had to mine and chop like crazy, now its trivial. I have maxed basically all the gathering skills mostly by using the faction boosters. I dont farm xp, just gather what I feel I need to
Thanks for the end of the video! I was not expecting some philosophical topic, somehow it's exactly what I needed to hear! Cheers and much love ginger!
If they had just made the AE expack free to everyone that had bought the base game already on PC (and comped those that did pay for it with cash shop credits as a thank you) they could have tripled these numbers IMO. That would have made these feel like a genuinely move from AGS to say 'fresh start, here is something as a goodwill gesture'. I love the game though and wish is every success. I hope that word of mouth builds as to how good it is now compared to launch.
I put in 13+ years on Ultima Online, 13+ years on WOW and Im looking to put 13+ years here on New World! They really stuck to remastering this and they didnt bail. That says a lot for a game dev team. They could have dropped it like so many others, but they didnt Im here to put in for my season passes and a great several years of gaming enjoyment once again!!
I recently started playing New World, and this video showed up on my feed so I said “why not??”. I was just expecting to hear about the game and what your thoughts were on the current state of the game. Then you all of a sudden pivot and began talking about suffering and the love of Jesus Christ. This absolutely made my day. 100% will subscribe. 19:37
Honestly man....its been pretty good. I was a guy that just got disgusted with the game and the constant black of basic mmo things. I came back very skeptical. Theyve made some great fixes and still left some things put id like to see like a cross server dungeon queue. But overall ive been very impressed. I hope they keep it up
i bought it specifically because its a not free to play and doesn't have a monthly fee so I can actually play it casually and in my own time. If i'm paying monthly i always feel I need to play more than I want and I can''t stand the free to play shenanigans on progression.
As FFXIV veteran, I'm looking something else. To jump into when FFXIV grind gets too much. I'm a simple creature, I have been enjoying the heck out of it. I have several friends who play too, so far very fun. I hope they keep this going.
Ffxiv grind? Doing 4 sav fights a week and an expert roulette every day for 4 days a week? That's literally all you do for bis lmao. Stay away from nw if you think that's a grind. Nw grind is much longer and more tedious.
I never played, but just got it for the PC. However, I'm not really playing until around Black Friday because I want to do coop with someone on the PS5 and progress together. I could just buy it now on the PS5, but I'm hoping for a discounted price since I'll also have to get Playstation Plus.
You do know the game is Crossplay with PC and consoles, right? And if you have the PlayStation App on your phone, you can use Playstation Party chat for comms while you play on PC and your friend is on Playstation (I've done it with my Crossplay friends, so I know it works). Just sayin'.
I think people need to get expectations calibrated correctly. Amazon is advertising this as an online action RPG - not an MMO. I think they are doing that to lower the expectations from live service game (MMO) to ARPG with online features (eg Diablo 4). I am not expecting big content drop because there isn’t any evidence they are coming. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. There’s plenty to enjoy as is, so let’s do that rather than focusing on the fictional future content.
well, they did a fantastic job with this refresh, most of the console mmos ive played are terribly clunky, this game is smooth as hell, the user interface is great, the combat, the character movement, it just runs really well, im hopeful theyll fill out the game as we go here, but i think its a tremendous amount of fun. it might not be the end all be all of mmos, but its definitely a big step in the right direction for console mmos, im loving it.
I am absolutely loving this game! So good. I could not get into throne and liberty. Felt like free to play P2W trash. New world is hitting all the checks for me.
They need the transmog system to be easily gotten like eso via gold or tokens or gw2. Its a major failing. If they remove that barrier to entry people will actually spend more money on the game. mogging is end game for a lot of people. But the voice acting and cutscenes are a VAST improvement. Im replaying from scratch. Its worth it.
The game is alright... For me, there is something missing to hook me that I can't quite put my finger on... I will keep at it for a bit, I am only lvl 24 currently. new weapons: dual daggers... lightning wand :D
Im console player and really want to play this game sadly ill have to wait till Christmas but it's on my bucket list only other mmo I play is eso and I like that because you can play it solo no forced pvp or anything its a choice if u want to do that.
love the game but it is unplayable right now, constant game freezing and crashing every time i log in for 3-5 mins on steam pc I hope AGS releases a patch to fix this asap, I hear the consoles having crashing issues as well.
The game is so good they just bungled everything lol ive come back just to play with my fiance. We are just running around adventuring not worrying about levels or power or anything like that. Its so much fun to just explore and not play it like some optimized MMO experience. I do think player numbers will die again and the game likely with it. A real shame.
Some of the boys played throne and liberty but it had no influence on us playing NW again. $30 for the expansion just to see if you will like the current meta, and OPR doesnt even give you BIS anymore(still no trees btw). Back to plan A which was wait for the roadmap and pray they have OPR visual update, 10v10 map, and cross server practice wars. MMR for cross server 3v3 is a big step forward but again, $30 and a ton of grinding to see if you even like the meta.
You’re not wrong, but I don’t know if a way that they could have handled it which makes everyone happy. Because if you give it away for free then the people who paid for the expansion feel screwed.
Imho, it hasnt felt this healthy since release. I had around 400 hours when it came out (a bit during first fresh start) but it really feels so much better with all the updated systems. Left TnL when it came out 😂
Great video thank you..all though as a veteran pc player with 5 level 65's and about 2731 hours in the game I personaly give up long ago due to NO Content...and monetization BS...They don't even bother to add a barbershop to alter your characters, for God's sake...lol...!!
I know I'm marginal but haven't got to even login since the relaunch due to real life entanglements. And I was on camp "never gonna login again" but next weekend I hopefully get to login and play again. Going for frest start server. 😊
Console servers are dead at least in terms of PVP probably because we're not given a notification about it on how to even access one. Got to 65 on crossplay server and was curious about these servers so I tried making a new character in AP Southeast and there's like one or two companies from each faction with 5-10 members each so there's a little under 100 players in console in AP southeast. Left my character PVP flagged since I joined a faction and never even seen one player roaming around lmao. Some are a little active in global chat though asking for specific materials and such.
I find it hard to do this much analysis without console numbers. It's becoming clear that there are more console numbers than pc at the current moment.
Im new to mmo's in general and gotta say I'm enjoying Aeternum I'm lvl 23, only downside for me at least is my game hard crashes sometime a few other people said for them as well so hope ags could do a patch otherwise great time. TEAM ROSA btw 🤣🤣🤣
The only true end game content is wars. If you aren't already involved in being the top 5% of players, you will most likely never experience a competitive war. Even on the Fresh Start servers, each server has one or two full Legacy rollover players that will be dominating each server. All the competitive Wars in two or three weeks will be the same 100 players on every server just constantly going against each other. Just like legacy was for 2 years
Take every criticism about this game with a grain of salt everybody that says there needs to be more content has thousands of hours in the game you will find plenty to do for months even years
Man I've been trying to like the game after returning to it, but I can't seem to enjoy it. Takes hours to gather people to do the regular dungeons just to get into M1. Is running around grabbing chest the fun in the game. People ask for more content, and I can't even do it.
& most importantly, what about the old players who are there from day one? What are we getting on the table? Its useless to do the same grind again & again at new servers.
I think ive fought some angry earth. I couldnt tell you i skip literally everything. Every character is either a female or gay. Or both lol. Cant imagine it was always like this. However If im stuck on a island im pretty happy with the male to female ratio
I played T & L and NW is so much better and more fun-factor. But I don't like the pvp has the best gear and rewards based on doing PvP. So why not giving the majority of players just as good pve gear and rewards. Were T & L fails is the fact that they haven't broken the Korean P2W and terrible translations regarding the quest log and locations of quests. To much complexity on all levels.
I played throne and liberty got to max level in a few days and finished the story its not for me now i started new word yesterday and im enjoying it more
I Have played over 500 hours and leveled a new character to max again on the servers and got to end game then quit... it has the same issues at endgame it has always had. I am calling it now in 4 months the game will be dead and that's unfortunate.
Every time I start this game, I never know what's waiting for me. The graphics won't load correctly, OR I'll clip through the floor, OR All the coin in my company treasury will disappear, OR The event markers on the map will appear for nothing, OR The input lag is so high that between the time I click and the animation starts, I can go make a cup of coffee, OR There's a GIANT connection error icon in the middle of my screen for the entirety of the session, OR My inventory items disappear, OR The audio in the game will suddenly EXPLODE in my ears, OR The game will just randomly crash, OR The transmog shop won't work, OR I can't apply the skins I've bought with real money, OR There's glitching, artifacting or clipping, OR Quests won't complete, OR Tutorial hints will revert to default settings every startup, OR Invites and requests get auto-rejected for no reason, OR Reward caches won't open... BUT The shop works. Oh ho ho, the shop ALWAYS works. When it comes to taking my money, AGS, there's never been a single problem.
Maybe your rig has an issue? I've only had one of these issues, the connection icon in the middle of the screen when the game seemed to run fine. I logged out and then back in and it went away. I'm playing on a mid tier rig.
500+ hours in this game so far and I've never experienced a single one of these issues. 4 max level characters.. It's you bro, not the game. Learn how to use a PC.
In dungeons no one uses the chat function or its glitched? Even saying hello no one ever responds, the social aspects in this game are the worse I’ve ever seen. The game is basically better played solo and ignore everyone.
Just wanna say because mostly the general chat in my server at least is pc players being toxic asf to the console players. 1. Welcome console guys good to have you! 2. Toxic pc players be better and enjoy the life that the console gang has brought back to new world, some of you just taking it to far
@@besh_rs New world is toxic true that 😂 but the game was never dead tbh I played it even when people saying it was dead but it was clearly not 😂 ESO is a dead game, no PvP Content since 7 years 😂😂
The game crashed 3 times in the last hour I played last night. Seems their patch yesterday made the game worse. I will be quitting if it continues like that today. Sorry, I go better things to do than spend 15-20 mins out of every hour reloading a crashed game. It is ridiculous!!!
You'd have a valid point if this were not an MMORPG. Part of the draw of an MMO for players is that there is a persistent world that is consistently updated with new content over its lifetime. You have to have a way to keep players engaged between major content uodates or expansions. If you don't, players will leave and with no reason to return, the game will eventually fade.
@@Chadley10 it’s called after 100 hours u got more then moneys worth and times worth.. don’t be mad at them bc there’s not other games out lol also if 500 hours isn’t enough go workout get good at a sport if hs or college or younger that’s way to much video games get real
Grinded for the first few days of Xbox release, and I just realized like 4-5 days in that I wasn't having fun. Passed all my mats to a friend and called it quits. Hopefully it gets better for those who are still playing. Most of the features in the game seem to have been implemented in a subpar fashion. The movement on mounts? Fucked The combat? Fucked The economy? Fucked The guild PvP systems? Fucked The equipment tuning? Fucked The servers? Fucked The audio? UTTERLY FUCKED It's a subpar game, and I don't see it improving anywhere near enough to bring back people who wanted to play a good game when they bought New World.
I'm playing on a series S. The game is absolutely playable. I don't understand why people are complaining. There is literally nothing else on consoles like this game. It's incredible really.
@@puppethound You're entitled to your opinion of course. But FF14 And ESO are quite different. And both require a subscription AND purchase to really play. ESO doesn't unless you need bag space AND YOU NEED BAG SPACE ITS A TRAP.(I love ESO BTW but facts are facts.) Throne and Liberty is it's own things too. It's F2P at least. But it's pay 2 win. New World you just buy it and can do everything no sub. No pay 2 win. I'd say that's pretty unique for consoles and really PC too tbh.
They need to start showing us a roadmap
Yes we need a roadmap for sure
I agree like now
They need actual patch notes too
This is what has stopped me from dropping 60$ and starting New World. It looks fun and enjoyable, but I like MMOs with longevity. I know I can get plenty of hours out of New World, but if they don't expand the content, then I can't see the game lasting long.

The faction boosters will level it up fast. Before you had to mine and chop like crazy, now its trivial. I have maxed basically all the gathering skills mostly by using the faction boosters. I dont farm xp, just gather what I feel I need to
Thanks for the end of the video! I was not expecting some philosophical topic, somehow it's exactly what I needed to hear!
Cheers and much love ginger!
If they had just made the AE expack free to everyone that had bought the base game already on PC (and comped those that did pay for it with cash shop credits as a thank you) they could have tripled these numbers IMO.
That would have made these feel like a genuinely move from AGS to say 'fresh start, here is something as a goodwill gesture'.
I love the game though and wish is every success. I hope that word of mouth builds as to how good it is now compared to launch.
I put in 13+ years on Ultima Online, 13+ years on WOW and Im looking to put 13+ years here on New World! They really stuck to remastering this and they didnt bail. That says a lot for a game dev team. They could have dropped it like so many others, but they didnt Im here to put in for my season passes and a great several years of gaming enjoyment once again!!
I recently started playing New World, and this video showed up on my feed so I said “why not??”.
I was just expecting to hear about the game and what your thoughts were on the current state of the game. Then you all of a sudden pivot and began talking about suffering and the love of Jesus Christ. This absolutely made my day. 100% will subscribe. 19:37
Honestly man....its been pretty good. I was a guy that just got disgusted with the game and the constant black of basic mmo things. I came back very skeptical. Theyve made some great fixes and still left some things put id like to see like a cross server dungeon queue. But overall ive been very impressed. I hope they keep it up
I'm a new console player and loving it so far. Always look forward to your content
I’m loving the game. So fun and the closest thing to a better ESO and Guild Wars 2 on console. 😊👍🏻
i bought it specifically because its a not free to play and doesn't have a monthly fee so I can actually play it casually and in my own time. If i'm paying monthly i always feel I need to play more than I want and I can''t stand the free to play shenanigans on progression.
Very true free to play just seems more of a money sink anymore either with pay to win or the time you spend on grinding dumb shit
LOL Merc, I remember that dude from SoTA (Shroud of the Avatar) and all the SoTA reddit drama. What a wild blast from the past.
they need to add duel daggers, duel pistol, summoning/beast taming, polearms, lighting staff or gauntlet, crossbow, claws, grenades, and whip
What are these numbers from? Is this steam or also with consoles?
Just steam. It's next to impossible to know console numbers on any game
As FFXIV veteran, I'm looking something else. To jump into when FFXIV grind gets too much. I'm a simple creature, I have been enjoying the heck out of it. I have several friends who play too, so far very fun. I hope they keep this going.
Ffxiv grind? Doing 4 sav fights a week and an expert roulette every day for 4 days a week? That's literally all you do for bis lmao. Stay away from nw if you think that's a grind. Nw grind is much longer and more tedious.
I never played, but just got it for the PC. However, I'm not really playing until around Black Friday because I want to do coop with someone on the PS5 and progress together. I could just buy it now on the PS5, but I'm hoping for a discounted price since I'll also have to get Playstation Plus.
You do know the game is Crossplay with PC and consoles, right?
And if you have the PlayStation App on your phone, you can use Playstation Party chat for comms while you play on PC and your friend is on Playstation (I've done it with my Crossplay friends, so I know it works). Just sayin'.
@charliebrown2460 Yes. I still need to buy the PS5 version for coop in my same household.
I think people need to get expectations calibrated correctly. Amazon is advertising this as an online action RPG - not an MMO. I think they are doing that to lower the expectations from live service game (MMO) to ARPG with online features (eg Diablo 4). I am not expecting big content drop because there isn’t any evidence they are coming. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. There’s plenty to enjoy as is, so let’s do that rather than focusing on the fictional future content.
Loving this game on console
well, they did a fantastic job with this refresh, most of the console mmos ive played are terribly clunky, this game is smooth as hell, the user interface is great, the combat, the character movement, it just runs really well, im hopeful theyll fill out the game as we go here, but i think its a tremendous amount of fun. it might not be the end all be all of mmos, but its definitely a big step in the right direction for console mmos, im loving it.
I am absolutely loving this game! So good. I could not get into throne and liberty. Felt like free to play P2W trash. New world is hitting all the checks for me.
I’m so busy and barely get a chance to play lol I’m glad I don’t have time the way I used to. It helps me to enjoy the game more.
They need the transmog system to be easily gotten like eso via gold or tokens or gw2. Its a major failing. If they remove that barrier to entry people will actually spend more money on the game. mogging is end game for a lot of people.
But the voice acting and cutscenes are a VAST improvement. Im replaying from scratch. Its worth it.
The game is alright... For me, there is something missing to hook me that I can't quite put my finger on... I will keep at it for a bit, I am only lvl 24 currently.
new weapons: dual daggers... lightning wand :D
If they really want to make some money and keep players playing, make it to where we can pay for name changes and appearance changes.
Im console player and really want to play this game sadly ill have to wait till Christmas but it's on my bucket list only other mmo I play is eso and I like that because you can play it solo no forced pvp or anything its a choice if u want to do that.
Nice simple presentation I love it
Thanks 🙏
love the game but it is unplayable right now, constant game freezing and crashing every time i log in for 3-5 mins on steam pc I hope AGS releases a patch to fix this asap, I hear the consoles having crashing issues as well.
No problems at all here. Haven't had a single freeze or crash since the release of Aeternum. Also on PC Steam
No issues for me check drivers brother
That’s so cool all the new info
I dont think we will ever see a Fast Travel system like Throne And Libertys in this game. TL was developed on UE4 that is why it is possible.
Loved new world i played at launch but i stop playing because there were not planning of making a SEA server
The game is so good they just bungled everything lol ive come back just to play with my fiance. We are just running around adventuring not worrying about levels or power or anything like that. Its so much fun to just explore and not play it like some optimized MMO experience. I do think player numbers will die again and the game likely with it. A real shame.
Some of the boys played throne and liberty but it had no influence on us playing NW again. $30 for the expansion just to see if you will like the current meta, and OPR doesnt even give you BIS anymore(still no trees btw). Back to plan A which was wait for the roadmap and pray they have OPR visual update, 10v10 map, and cross server practice wars. MMR for cross server 3v3 is a big step forward but again, $30 and a ton of grinding to see if you even like the meta.
You’re not wrong, but I don’t know if a way that they could have handled it which makes everyone happy. Because if you give it away for free then the people who paid for the expansion feel screwed.
Steam Charts already shows the population dropping, average down 6k from last week.
My name Jeff
Imho, it hasnt felt this healthy since release. I had around 400 hours when it came out (a bit during first fresh start) but it really feels so much better with all the updated systems.
Left TnL when it came out 😂
Liked and subbed. 👍
Awesome thank you! And welcome to the channel :)
Great video thank you..all though as a veteran pc player with 5 level 65's and about 2731 hours in the game I personaly give up long ago due to NO Content...and monetization BS...They don't even bother to add a barbershop to alter your characters, for God's sake...lol...!!
Video hits at the end love it
I know I'm marginal but haven't got to even login since the relaunch due to real life entanglements.
And I was on camp "never gonna login again" but next weekend I hopefully get to login and play again. Going for frest start server. 😊
Console servers are dead at least in terms of PVP probably because we're not given a notification about it on how to even access one. Got to 65 on crossplay server and was curious about these servers so I tried making a new character in AP Southeast and there's like one or two companies from each faction with 5-10 members each so there's a little under 100 players in console in AP southeast. Left my character PVP flagged since I joined a faction and never even seen one player roaming around lmao. Some are a little active in global chat though asking for specific materials and such.
I find it hard to do this much analysis without console numbers. It's becoming clear that there are more console numbers than pc at the current moment.
good video i just came back after a long time gone and 280hrs under my belt and tbh i was lost lmfao
Welcome back!
I’m still unable to change my server. I’m on console , it still doesn’t show in the store am I the only one experiencing this?
KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDS
Love NW. Cause i play it like a game. Not as a bis gear rush in 5 days 🎉
Than you're a filthy casual
Im new to mmo's in general and gotta say I'm enjoying Aeternum I'm lvl 23, only downside for me at least is my game hard crashes sometime a few other people said for them as well so hope ags could do a patch otherwise great time. TEAM ROSA btw 🤣🤣🤣
I had zero crashes so far
I also had crashes but they are because of my custom OC and UV of the CPU. They are stable for everything else just not New World. Had to disable.
Im loving the pve and the pvp. Game dope asf
I'm having a blast with it.
The only true end game content is wars. If you aren't already involved in being the top 5% of players, you will most likely never experience a competitive war. Even on the Fresh Start servers, each server has one or two full Legacy rollover players that will be dominating each server. All the competitive Wars in two or three weeks will be the same 100 players on every server just constantly going against each other. Just like legacy was for 2 years
Yes new weuapons please lol I’ve been playing since it came out on ps5 and love the game
I feel like the combat didn't change at all. The beta was better
i am waiting on ArcheAge Chronicles
Not sure how popular this game is but...
I never enjoyed game so much.. and I do play a lot .. I mean a lot. lol
I'm not getting it after 20 hours. I played this game a long time ago but it was called ESO then.
I love New World, and the fresh start has been great but........ the game is still a buggy mess. No roadmap still. AGS actions remain the same.
Take every criticism about this game with a grain of salt everybody that says there needs to be more content has thousands of hours in the game you will find plenty to do for months even years
Good game im at point now i gotta farm artifacts
Amazing message of hope! Jesus is our hope and in times of hardship we need to turn to him! God Bless!
No roadmap, they need more endgame
this game is so funny, but needs more new and cinematic skills
Do T&L player numbers
I just wish there were only two servers one for North America and one for Europe. Non of this 3 to 5 different worlds, the game feels empty.
Lol dude play on Aquarius and you'll be constantly surrounded by players
Man I've been trying to like the game after returning to it, but I can't seem to enjoy it. Takes hours to gather people to do the regular dungeons just to get into M1. Is running around grabbing chest the fun in the game. People ask for more content, and I can't even do it.
Updates can't wait 6 months to a year... This next update needs to happen before Christmas!!!
& most importantly, what about the old players who are there from day one? What are we getting on the table? Its useless to do the same grind again & again at new servers.
Number of thumbs up was 666, I changed it to 667 - dont thank me bro... Peace. 🤣
The here we all deserve :)
I think ive fought some angry earth. I couldnt tell you i skip literally everything. Every character is either a female or gay. Or both lol. Cant imagine it was always like this. However If im stuck on a island im pretty happy with the male to female ratio
I played T & L and NW is so much better and more fun-factor. But I don't like the pvp has the best gear and rewards based on doing PvP. So why not giving the majority of players just as good pve gear and rewards. Were T & L fails is the fact that they haven't broken the Korean P2W and terrible translations regarding the quest log and locations of quests. To much complexity on all levels.
I played throne and liberty got to max level in a few days and finished the story its not for me now i started new word yesterday and im enjoying it more
New subscriber here nice find a channel in the Lord Jesus i hope he blesses your channel to get really big 😁😁😁
Its failed, great potential, but the train has left the station.
I Have played over 500 hours and leveled a new character to max again on the servers and got to end game then quit... it has the same issues at endgame it has always had. I am calling it now in 4 months the game will be dead and that's unfortunate.
Every time I start this game, I never know what's waiting for me.
The graphics won't load correctly, OR
I'll clip through the floor, OR
All the coin in my company treasury will disappear, OR
The event markers on the map will appear for nothing, OR
The input lag is so high that between the time I click and the animation starts, I can go make a cup of coffee, OR
There's a GIANT connection error icon in the middle of my screen for the entirety of the session, OR
My inventory items disappear, OR
The audio in the game will suddenly EXPLODE in my ears, OR
The game will just randomly crash, OR
The transmog shop won't work, OR
I can't apply the skins I've bought with real money, OR
There's glitching, artifacting or clipping, OR
Quests won't complete, OR
Tutorial hints will revert to default settings every startup, OR
Invites and requests get auto-rejected for no reason, OR
Reward caches won't open... BUT
The shop works. Oh ho ho, the shop ALWAYS works. When it comes to taking my money, AGS, there's never been a single problem.
Maybe your rig has an issue? I've only had one of these issues, the connection icon in the middle of the screen when the game seemed to run fine. I logged out and then back in and it went away. I'm playing on a mid tier rig.
100% rig issue. Im on console and have 0 of these problems. Nice $1500 paperweight
500+ hours in this game so far and I've never experienced a single one of these issues. 4 max level characters.. It's you bro, not the game. Learn how to use a PC.
@@average_wil1958 Gpu is dying
@@jtizzle9988😂❤
I still not play the game ! I want to see progress from Amazon before I put time into a death game
Hey you didn’t count me. I’m on console.
In dungeons no one uses the chat function or its glitched? Even saying hello no one ever responds, the social aspects in this game are the worse I’ve ever seen. The game is basically better played solo and ignore everyone.
Do you mean typing? Or voice chat? Of course, no one uses voice.
Btw a game is not meant to be played 24 hours a day get a life lol . Unless ur getting paid to play. Otherwise play have fun take ur time.
Just wanna say because mostly the general chat in my server at least is pc players being toxic asf to the console players.
1. Welcome console guys good to have you!
2. Toxic pc players be better and enjoy the life that the console gang has brought back to new world, some of you just taking it to far
@@besh_rs New world is toxic true that 😂 but the game was never dead tbh I played it even when people saying it was dead but it was clearly not 😂 ESO is a dead game, no PvP Content since 7 years 😂😂
The game crashed 3 times in the last hour I played last night. Seems their patch yesterday made the game worse. I will be quitting if it continues like that today. Sorry, I go better things to do than spend 15-20 mins out of every hour reloading a crashed game. It is ridiculous!!!
I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully, they fix it soon!
Seeing a lot of people crashing loading into expeditions since halloween patch, i crashed a few times as well.
@@VeNoMz_ it is not just expeditions. In fact, I did not even do a expedition yesterday. It was while I was teleporting or just walking around.
If u have 500 hours and are complaining about content..
500 hours over 3 years isnt that crazy.
Still 500 hours in any game... I think you got your money's worth.
You'd have a valid point if this were not an MMORPG. Part of the draw of an MMO for players is that there is a persistent world that is consistently updated with new content over its lifetime. You have to have a way to keep players engaged between major content uodates or expansions. If you don't, players will leave and with no reason to return, the game will eventually fade.
@@Chadley10 it’s called after 100 hours u got more then moneys worth and times worth.. don’t be mad at them bc there’s not other games out lol also if 500 hours isn’t enough go workout get good at a sport if hs or college or younger that’s way to much video games get real
Grinded for the first few days of Xbox release, and I just realized like 4-5 days in that I wasn't having fun.
Passed all my mats to a friend and called it quits.
Hopefully it gets better for those who are still playing.
Most of the features in the game seem to have been implemented in a subpar fashion.
The movement on mounts? Fucked
The combat? Fucked
The economy? Fucked
The guild PvP systems? Fucked
The equipment tuning? Fucked
The servers? Fucked
The audio? UTTERLY FUCKED
It's a subpar game, and I don't see it improving anywhere near enough to bring back people who wanted to play a good game when they bought New World.
@@aBadWizard everything about your Fucked bit is wrong, sooo wrong
Idk who shit in your cheerios but the game isn’t meant for all
Game gets unfair treatment, I think the game is great, pvp is trash, but the PVE is amazing
I'm playing on a series S. The game is absolutely playable. I don't understand why people are complaining. There is literally nothing else on consoles like this game. It's incredible really.
Yeah same here both a series x and s and having a blast
Um FF14 AND ESO are on Xbox as well, not to mention Throne and Liberty, so saying "there are no games like this" is false
@@puppethound You're entitled to your opinion of course.
But FF14 And ESO are quite different. And both require a subscription AND purchase to really play. ESO doesn't unless you need bag space AND YOU NEED BAG SPACE ITS A TRAP.(I love ESO BTW but facts are facts.)
Throne and Liberty is it's own things too. It's F2P at least. But it's pay 2 win.
New World you just buy it and can do everything no sub. No pay 2 win.
I'd say that's pretty unique for consoles and really PC too tbh.
Wars are broken OPR have legacy players CK is grouping even though we knew they would
