I'm still trying to figure out what that potential was. Whenever a MMO launches and more or less dies in a year, there's someone in the comments section saying it had potential
The game is great now that they've fixed the most glaring issues that made the player base leave. They really needed to spend more time developing and testing it instead of releasing an incomplete and highly exploitable product. Maybe it would have turned out fine if they had fixed the issues quicker. Once the talent system was found to be mostly non-functional, some players started leaving and some started digging to find out what else wasn't working. It also doesn't help that PvP-focused games attract gamers who naturally seek advantages over others, which leads to the heavy use of game-breaking exploits. Amazon clearly lacked the experience to properly deal with such a thing with their naive engine design. It's a great game, but they lost the trust of their playerbase through inexperience and lack of research into everything involved with developing an MMO.
@@MadeagoestoNamso for months they've been announcing that they're going to announce an announcement and today they announced the announcement date of that upcoming announcement?
I love New World. the world , the crafting and gathering, the dungeons, the look of the gear, its all so damn good. Then you have the weird ass combat with the even weirder animations, it always looks like your lagging. there is so much potential in this game man, if they can just do a combat overhaul
the desync issue makes it impossible to complete some quests in the higher difficult areas(playing solo). at least in my experience... you cant dodge properly or switch weapons fast enough.
The only thing that stops me from playing is the same thing that stopped me from playing ESO, I can't keep going into a server at 200+ ping with horrible desync. Server problems can be worked on and improved to perfection but if the desync doesn't change the game is dead for anyone that wants to play regularly.
for a few weeks after release New World was insanely fun because of the abundant PVP. you could be out gathering materials or leveling skills and at any point you get bored you know theres several locations with massive amounts of people doing PVP. the best part was that everyone was close in level and nobody had enough time to become super skilled or learn OP builds/farm OP gear. large PVP battles were a shit show but in the most fun way excluding server issues. when i hit level 60 it just became stale and boring so i quit. i think many others did the same or quit in the level 50s.
So they are adding a PvP region now? Years after release? Maybe in some attempt to pull back players they ejected during the alpha game direction shift? "Lawless zones" were a hot topic, even during alpha, and even more so after the game direction pivot some ~6 months prior to the first launch date.
mmos that arent steam exclusive are more often than not much higher playerbase on regular client, as steam often acts as a launcher to launch the client launcher.
If their big announcement is swimming and a PVP island imma be pissed af. I also hope the announcement isn't about a console release, because that's not new content that would bring me back to the game. A great feature, but not content. I want to see them circulate more transmog tokens to create a better fashion scene, and rework all the housing (add wallpapers, flooring, etc.) for a better decorating scene (and more housing options, each territory has a big ass tier 5 looking house thats closed off). Merge storage from all towns and create a wider inventory UI so it's not just 2 long ass columns of loot we cant organize. Merge the auction house between all servers, I am so sick of seeing so many empty pages and stupid overpriced resources because only 1 person is selling mats.
The crazy thing is the game is fucking great for new players. I started and had a freaking blast leveling and doing expeditions. Did the expansion content and got the artifacts I wanted. It’s the endgame and lack of content after all of that.
100% this game 0-60 is so much fun, doing the small amount of end game content is fun and the grind to do that content is fun but its short lived and then you run out of shit to do pretty fast. but they have proven that when they add meaningful stuff players will come back. that big update that added mounts saw the game sitting at over 100k for almost a month before it started dropping
My dad and I were super into New World at launch, playing every day, questing together, doing high level trains together and so on. For us here's what stopped us from wanting to play step by step: 1. The streamers. Some brought in a bunch of super toxic people that the game refused to deal with, brought in a constant level of drama, and resulted in our server having an unbalanced number of people in each faction which made it extremely difficult to get and keep territory. 2. The update that nerfed healers into the ground to a point where I was basically redundant; I would have been a bigger help to my faction and company if I just made and passed out health potions 24/7. 3. The changes they made that made trains pretty much redundant which caused the community to fragment, it was fun the way it was; you could run around with a bunch of random people, healers would heal people, when finished at one section you'd have many people helping the downed players up and then continuing on. 4. The changes they made to gear/loot drops. It was grindy already, they didn't have to do this. It made weeks straight of grinding feel like it was for nothing instantly. After the 4th change I started looking through forum posts only to see staff/developers replying to players who were understandably not happy with the most ridiculous and disrespectful, dismissive responses I've ever seen. I lost pretty much any remaining hope I had for the game at that point because the staff seemed completely clueless on the PR front let alone the development end, and if anything New World just made me want to go back to playing RuneScape at that point lol. So I did. Left, later uninstalled and it's been sitting in my library collecting dust ever since. No regrets, even RS3 is better than NW anyways.
I’m on console and currently play FF14 (3800hrs), so just a casual. I’ve done ESO (3000hrs) and BDO (less said the better) and I’m yet to understand why I should play New World at all, maybe I’m just stupid. PvP is for a minority of people and I hate full loot s&@t. So unless there is a trial on PlayStation (if released) and it’s longer than 2hrs, I’ll just stick to watching vids and playing what I enjoy. But good luck to the devs all the same.
i would actually say pvp is for the majority of people. the statistics they use are wrong, since pvp players are kinda forced to do pve but not the other way around. so you have PVEers + PVPers playing PVE but you only have PVPers playing pvp. Getting into companies and playing wars is not as hard as it used to be, some servers (at least on EU) have a community made "diplomacy" server where top tier companies decided to leave some territories uncostested so smaller companies can fight each other w/o getting steamrolled by much higher skilled players which makes warcontent accessible for everybody basically. Also when it comes to gear, you pretty much need gear worth 50k gold and 1-2 artifacts to easily being able to play Wars. Ofc on higher level it comes down to min-maxing so eventually better gear is needed, which by then also is easier affordable through company payouts that the communities have worked out.
I tried to play New World, bought it because my brother convinced me to give it a try. I got bored pretty fast, it just did not hook me at all. I was already cautious with the game because a class and decent mount being gated behind a paid DLC is a bad sign.
@@dorminbasedeveryone stopped playing right after. You're not missing out on anything. Btw lol they still haven't added ranked pvp which was asked in early access. 2k hrs on the game I was one of those players that saw the "potential" sooo much regret so many chest run ugh
Incompetent Lead dev, making a "PvP" MMO oriented, to then release it into a PvE focused MMO, to then unrestrain PvP design again... Garbage. These guys have no idea how a core MMORPG matter and how community works, and they are lead dev, this is astonishing.
The decision to make it a PVE game came from Amazon and not from the Devs. This game was fully designed for Full-Loot-PvP. Every element of the game was planned for this like crafting or city zones. But Amazon wanted to have rather a quick success for a bigger audience than a steady playerbase. I mean look at albion online. It's still globally played by a ton of people that they even started seperate EU servers now after 7 years. The game is an awesome excample for a Full-Loot-PvP game that even offers a lot of stuff for PvE players and actually a working player driven economy like EVE Online. It might be a niche game, but you barely see a similar amount of players around you in any other mmo.
@@immatoll4375PvP only is NOT a long lasting investment. PvE and PvP are both extremely vital to any MMOs success. They both balance eachother out, and bring different variables to the core game and community. They screwed up massively, and dug their own grave. 7k players a month is a fkn joke.
the "mmo" that is only for the hardest of hardcore cheaters and trolls with null integrity, because not only is is cheaply made and full of bugs, but devs were dumb enough to make the only bug report function a PUBLIC ubb-forum, so that EVERY bug and exploit could spread much faster than anyone could not care less to fix it or rollback any effects.
Didn't like that they retroactively ruined my gear 3 times. Them changing the level cap gave me less reason to play. Changing level cap equates to them changing how I will experience the things I enjoy, content I enjoyed at 60 will be an unearned level of easy at 70. Harvesting any resource and coming upon another player ruined gathering and crafting for me. Take a page out of ff14, have it so the resources exist for each player. Harvesting resources should have the potential to function like the chestruns do. Buying a home shouldn't initially give the player an empty space. The house should come with low quality decorations that make the place feel cozy. The player can replace these decorations of their own volition. I would ask for more things, but I just realized I'm wasting my time.
To anyone who still plays/copes that this game has potential: The dev lead for this game is grossly incompetent, and until this changes, it will stay dead. 1. Bugs/bad engine being used (every update/expansion that brings players back only sees them losing players because of critical game breaking bugs that occur when even the slightest change to the game is done) 2. Lock servers during expansion/updates (prevents friends from joining other friends killing game potential) devs had numerous chances to fix this and show us they get it but they dont. 3. Servers die, req paid transfer, rinse/repeat. 4. Paid content without addressing core issues (nw continues to add battle passes/expansions without addressing bugs/engine issues/server issues etc, why come back and pay for this game when there's glaring egregious bugs/issues that existed when we quit previously?)
ya how hard is it to just get a 20 year old series to give you their ip to make a mmo right. every mmo should have a already established lore and world why should we need to learn about a new world without 20 years of lore
@@tayalt2406 its way more then 3 buttons since combat doesnt only consist of your abilities, but also dodging, jumping, pots, weapon switching, animation cancelling and heartrunes
Amazing! Swimming! I can't wait to see such revolutionary mechanic added to this game. This game never left Beta, i feel like i bought an half cooked pizza with the wrong toppings and now the chef told me he is going to finish cooking it and serve it to me back after i ate a slice and said it sucks.
idk i think everyone should take notice that fresh start servers are always big jump of playercount. I myslef love fresh starts in mmo rpgs, and i would be fan of yearly wiped servers, or just fresh start servers every year or every 6 months (ofc if they dont want to wipe them, they should at least merge them constantly when player count is decreasing) I think it would give the game regular players that like fresh starts like me and i would jump to the game untill i get bored again and again every time when fresh start servers arrive.
Server population numbers is, imo, the single most important thing for an mmo. without it, nobody will stay. You need enough that players are constantly around, but not so many that everything is camped and can't be done. High pop servers with layers for overcrowded zones is a must
Hope they turn it around. I would like to play it again. But there is just not much exciting endgame content and they messed it up in the beginning with crazy bugs und gold dupes. The basics are there with the sounds, music, graphics etc. and when I watch my saved videos I really started to miss the game and enjoyed my 300 hours a lot.
I for one quitted bc of gameplay, do not know how to explain it but it is weird ,I would rather had the wow combat or terra (combat gameplay was fucking great in that game) ,their combat gameplay its something new but I feel its broken, I didn't mind the empty world I wouldn't probably play after getting to some end game, but as it stands now I played a bit at start gave up, came for greatsword then gave up .If they don't do mega servers they should do something like companions to experience the dungeons solo, that I think will add some more hours for some people especially when they have some chain quest tied to dungeons.
at release i ve started up from those zones and now each New World zone is end game zone, trash managment from the amazon side, hired/fired system at ags studio needs to be addressed. by the way Asmon to keep game running and going afk isnt almost 2k gameplay hours lol
I've never played a game where it was so easy to troll people as this game. Whenever i would stand still, someone would aggro an enemy, stand next to me. I would then take damage. Sometimes, dickheads would decide to follow me around and loot half of the enemies i killed. I remember when they added voicechat and kids would scream in theirmicrophones for everyone nearby to hear... All this would never happen if the mechanics weren't so broken.
For the price new world is a great game. If u dont approach it as a forever game and just as a regular game that u reach an end point and move to another its actually fantastic. Its the live service part without a monthly payment to support further development thats a prob. It cant decide what it wants to be. But for the money? Damn good game
I think new world gameplay base is kinda fine, but they build terrible quest, terrible history, and every nice mechanic has a issue that they are not fixing. For example the crafting system, is kinda nice, but the shop and dugeons make the system kinda useless until you max level. Where you use it a little bit and then becomes kinda useless again. The dungeons are not bad, but you need to redo them until you go crazy, and just some dungeons are userfull, others you cant find players and maybe never gonna play. If you want a set to craft better items you need to farm a hidden especific mob like crazy to have a 1% chance to drop. They could drop that in the dungeon boses and make every dungeon userfull, but no, boses drop items that are just userfull in the level, but because you up like crazy the dungeon is useless. The combat also is not bad, but the one winning is the one who farmed all max level items, and to get the items you need to do the PVP, where you gonna die to the people who farmed the items
The fact that the New World team is going to be working on the upcoming new Lord of the Rings MMO doesn't exactly instill me with much confidence in the project... it will be interesting to see if it can compete with the existing MMO, Lord of the Rings Online, which released in 2007 and still has a stable population of players.
Anytime you get a bunch of people in one area it’s a janky mess. It’s laggy as hell and no matter how much I keep upgrading my internet speeds and regardless of me running a Ethernet connection the Devs just blame my internet over and over. I’m now at the point of having the business grade 10000 mb/s internet speeds package.
With this server capacity (2500 players per server) - it doesn't matter, if there will be more new players. Every major event -there is login queue. 2500 players per server is a joke.
I didn’t feel I would invest time in my server because in 2 weeks it could be dead and I have a kid I can’t invest time to do the same shit over and over again. So fuck it.
I have always idolized MMOs even though I don't really enjoy them beyond maximizing my character level with every class only if I really enjoy it..but this game has not once peaked my intrest. It's just not captivating enough...at all?
11:32 too true. Because a bunch of people wanted a themepark WoW like game so they pivoted to that for the quick cash they'd get at launch. If the game kept the survival pvp mmo setup it wouldn't need to keep pumping out content for the PvEers. The content would be the sandbox created between player conflict. Would have had a lesser population at launch? Yes definitely. Would it have had more playerbase than it does now? Yes definitely. Don't believe me? Just look up Rust steam charts and you'll see how popular the genre is. Or just look up steam charts and count the pvp games at the top of that list.
To play you need to buy game and if you want progress more you need to buy DLC, that will be in future company main point to focus, to create more DLC for you to must buy to gain more lvls and GS... that cut lots of players from game..
I wish Asmon would try ESO now. It's actually really good. Combat is interesting and there are so many builds and a few hundred armor sets with set bonuses. There is a lot of variation in player skill when it comes to the fanbase too. There are some really incredible unkillable players but also people that die every time you look at them funny. It's very skill based, skill as in not just your play skill but knowledge of the game and it's mechanics. Plus having player housing that you can build however you want and unlock items for your house through questing and the ESO store. There is A LOT of cosmetic monetization, that's the main downside to ESO. The game itself is really solid and it has a pretty large player base. The huge open world pvp battles are great. For PVE there are dozens of dungeons maybe 100, I've never counted them but there are A LOT, raids too.
I'm sure the 9000 people playing New World are thrilled (I did not make this up there's literally only 9000 people playing it and half of them are bots)
Another thing about new world is all of the gear u get except for maybe 2 pieces. it just looks like shit or beyond goofy. And even the mtx cosmetics look like shit. And this is the least of their worries tbh.
The devs are incompetent, as someone that’s still plays, the PvP is the only thing worth playing the game for long term, and a PvP island is not what anyone asked for, we have been asking for casual wars for 2 years and they will deliver this PvP island crap that no one will play after 2 weeks. The devs are truly clueless and out of touch.
If there are valuable resources, people would still create parties in discord or create non aggresion pacts if large number of people just to harvest them.
Stop shilling for AGS, we all know it's going to be just as terrible as Rings of Power season two. There's no saving a game run by people who should stick to delivering packages.
@@jzeat1480 One which is useless to run because it's been outleveled by the expansion gear. The other giving the same gear as mutated dungeons. So, no, there's no meaningful large scale pve content.
My PC crashes every time I log into New World and nothing I’ve done has fixed it. I want to love this game so much but I literally can’t play it reliably.
I will never understand the concept of 'fresh start' servers. MMOs are about grinding and persistance, its antithetical for the company to go "Hey guys! We're starting a new server release where you get to abandon all your hard work and do it all over again!" The issue with modern MMOs is persistance of content and playerbase, even WOW suffers from dead server syndrome and seasonal gimmicks.
@@Battzthat would never really change since new world never fixed duping properly and there's a small % of players that keep that info to themselves. So no matter how equal the starting ground is, normal non-cheating players stand no chance versus people who can achieve the equivalent of say 100 of your playtime hours with a few clicks.
@@arkdesign9517 Even if that was true and there were maybe a few dozen people that knew how to duplicate still, that doesnt mean that fresh start servers are pointless. Id rather be behind a few players who can dupe than be behind every single player on the server who isnt new like me. You havent changed my mind.
Console and the PVP zone was suppose to be during Season 5 road map they kept failing and kept pushing it back, that's why there is no content cause they don't know how to design any and when they do fail to implement it
I and a friend are looking for an MMO to play over this summer. We haven't really played any of the "Big 5" MMOs and most of what we played resides in little known and mostly forgotten games like Spiral Knights. Any recommendations?
Stick to one of the successful older ones. Eso, gw2 and such put new world to shame in every way apart from graphics. It doesn't even matter if they're hybrids or tab target, the skill ceiling is much higher and the combat much more meaningful and complex.
This game IS an amazing game, but the net code killed the biggest part of the end game in the beginning and then the fragmented servers killed the MMO part of it, when the last big update asked players to come back to the game to PAY for more content when the game itself still hasn't been fixed... Proves that they have no clue.. Even if I wanted to come back to the game I would have to pay money for the last expansion just to experience a half functioning game that they have shown no interest in fixing, no thanks.
Would say it’s good timing because of the drama with Hell Divers 2 and other games. But there’s still Palworld, Lethal Company, Stellar Blade, and eventually Elden Rind DLC they’ll have to compete with. Don’t think these changes are enough. It’s a good time to be a gamer.
Swimming sounds great...but I hope there's a reason to do it. Ideally swimming is a side affect to actual content, like pirate ship warfare where you get knocked from your ship, or treasure island chest runs involving swimming through shortcuts or along rivers. Needs something other than just...you can swim now. I hope it does become a skill, more high skilled can swim faster, breathe longer, dive deeper etc.
Alot of the desync was fixed when they changed the combat code! I think the experience has improved a lot since launch compared to what azmon is saying. At the same time the content could deff use some more improvement.
PvP is just fundamentally broken in new world. Playing light armor dps is just the worst build in the game. There is nothing you can do against heavy armor sword and shield. Sword and shield just not have that much mobility and speed debuffs for who they hit. A pvp only zone will just be full of cheese builds
A year of not being able to keep an Azoth Staff in my inventory, with hours and hours of research as to why, and hours spent trying to get help through these guys, I gave up. I really loved this game but I was one of those with the Azoth Staff bug. They not once answered my questions or acknowledged I existed.
@@Battz why not. This game has so many things that reference pirates, spanish naval, and other stuff...in fact I'd say it would make more sense to have boats in the game than rideable mounts. Can you explain why that would be something you DONT want?
@@JGburneraccount No I dont want that. They need to focus on so many other things to make the game good. They still have not made a new OPR map and the game has been out for years
@@alexnagasaki1436 who gives a shit. If it's cool people won't care, if it's done well people will enjoy it, besides at this point there's so many colonies and cities I can see why people wouldn't leave everyone is focused on conquering the island now. That's kinda the whole point of the game at this point.
The one thing that blows my mind is that if you go to the NW Reddit, there’s a bunch of active players doing nothing but complaining and I’m like “ if you’re still playing this game after all of its issues, just shut up and play “😂
If there's a full loot element to this zone it would add so much more content and fun for pvp and pve players. Items would mean more and be more valuable which would be good for every aspect of the game! Really excited about this!
I love this games dungeons (expedition mutations). I think they offer what WoW does but a bit better at least for me. The problem is the population just not being there as well as missing some of that extra aspirational stuff. Theres one raid in brimstone that is massively out of date, no other raid... Mutation aspirational only is M3 has the difficulty of like.... +7 weekly cap of WoW (so if 15 is max gear than 22 would be about the difficulty of M3)... IMO has some amazing ideas with mutations/mechanics and scaling it just needs the population and a little more of the aspirational content to really make it playable. Right now you wont find any lobbies and its kind of sad. Expeditions are really up there in terms of content, easily 10/10 for me. The gear leveling is also an issue for me. For some reason you can get 700 Ilevel gear kind of all over the place and it is not specific to any one area. M2 is 675-700 loot that can drop but M3 is 695-700. You can also just flat craft/buy 700 gear as well with the perks you wanted from whatever item drops. Im all for alternative paths and doing things and what not, but there really needs specificity. Why run really hard content if you can just buy/craft or chance m2 to 700 gs? And the difference between a 690 or even a 685 piece between a 700 is not that huge. Just a couple quips I have is all.
Good end game content doesn't repopulate the earlier zones. It would still feel bad for new players if a bunch of returning players came back. I also don't get into MMO's 2-3+ years past their launch because why would I want to start a competitive game at a 5000 hour disadvantage.

the desync issue makes it impossible to complete some quests in the higher difficult areas(playing solo). at least in my experience... you cant dodge properly or switch weapons fast enough.
The only thing that stops me from playing is the same thing that stopped me from playing ESO, I can't keep going into a server at 200+ ping with horrible desync. Server problems can be worked on and improved to perfection but if the desync doesn't change the game is dead for anyone that wants to play regularly.

Merge storage from all towns and create a wider inventory UI so it's not just 2 long ass columns of loot we cant organize. Merge the auction house between all servers, I am so sick of seeing so many empty pages and stupid overpriced resources because only 1 person is selling mats.
The crazy thing is the game is fucking great for new players. I started and had a freaking blast leveling and doing expeditions. Did the expansion content and got the artifacts I wanted. It’s the endgame and lack of content after all of that.
100% this game 0-60 is so much fun, doing the small amount of end game content is fun and the grind to do that content is fun but its short lived and then you run out of shit to do pretty fast. but they have proven that when they add meaningful stuff players will come back. that big update that added mounts saw the game sitting at over 100k for almost a month before it started dropping
My dad and I were super into New World at launch, playing every day, questing together, doing high level trains together and so on. For us here's what stopped us from wanting to play step by step:
1. The streamers. Some brought in a bunch of super toxic people that the game refused to deal with, brought in a constant level of drama, and resulted in our server having an unbalanced number of people in each faction which made it extremely difficult to get and keep territory.
2. The update that nerfed healers into the ground to a point where I was basically redundant; I would have been a bigger help to my faction and company if I just made and passed out health potions 24/7.
3. The changes they made that made trains pretty much redundant which caused the community to fragment, it was fun the way it was; you could run around with a bunch of random people, healers would heal people, when finished at one section you'd have many people helping the downed players up and then continuing on.
4. The changes they made to gear/loot drops. It was grindy already, they didn't have to do this. It made weeks straight of grinding feel like it was for nothing instantly.
After the 4th change I started looking through forum posts only to see staff/developers replying to players who were understandably not happy with the most ridiculous and disrespectful, dismissive responses I've ever seen.
I lost pretty much any remaining hope I had for the game at that point because the staff seemed completely clueless on the PR front let alone the development end, and if anything New World just made me want to go back to playing RuneScape at that point lol. So I did. Left, later uninstalled and it's been sitting in my library collecting dust ever since. No regrets, even RS3 is better than NW anyways.
I’m on console and currently play FF14 (3800hrs), so just a casual. I’ve done ESO (3000hrs) and BDO (less said the better) and I’m yet to understand why I should play New World at all, maybe I’m just stupid. PvP is for a minority of people and I hate full loot s&@t. So unless there is a trial on PlayStation (if released) and it’s longer than 2hrs, I’ll just stick to watching vids and playing what I enjoy. But good luck to the devs all the same.
i would actually say pvp is for the majority of people. the statistics they use are wrong, since pvp players are kinda forced to do pve but not the other way around. so you have PVEers + PVPers playing PVE but you only have PVPers playing pvp. Getting into companies and playing wars is not as hard as it used to be, some servers (at least on EU) have a community made "diplomacy" server where top tier companies decided to leave some territories uncostested so smaller companies can fight each other w/o getting steamrolled by much higher skilled players which makes warcontent accessible for everybody basically. Also when it comes to gear, you pretty much need gear worth 50k gold and 1-2 artifacts to easily being able to play Wars. Ofc on higher level it comes down to min-maxing so eventually better gear is needed, which by then also is easier affordable through company payouts that the communities have worked out.
I tried to play New World, bought it because my brother convinced me to give it a try. I got bored pretty fast, it just did not hook me at all. I was already cautious with the game because a class and decent mount being gated behind a paid DLC is a bad sign.
The moment they released paid DLC for what was essentially a beta version of the game i uninstalled and simply cut my losses.
Your missing a lot
@@JON32G Nah i don't think so. Having fun in FF XIV currently.
u arent, maybe a month of content lol…
@@dorminbasedeveryone stopped playing right after. You're not missing out on anything. Btw lol they still haven't added ranked pvp which was asked in early access. 2k hrs on the game I was one of those players that saw the "potential" sooo much regret so many chest run ugh
Stopped playing when they decided to paywall mount accessibility.
Incompetent Lead dev, making a "PvP" MMO oriented, to then release it into a PvE focused MMO, to then unrestrain PvP design again... Garbage.
These guys have no idea how a core MMORPG matter and how community works, and they are lead dev, this is astonishing.
The decision to make it a PVE game came from Amazon and not from the Devs. This game was fully designed for Full-Loot-PvP. Every element of the game was planned for this like crafting or city zones. But Amazon wanted to have rather a quick success for a bigger audience than a steady playerbase. I mean look at albion online. It's still globally played by a ton of people that they even started seperate EU servers now after 7 years. The game is an awesome excample for a Full-Loot-PvP game that even offers a lot of stuff for PvE players and actually a working player driven economy like EVE Online. It might be a niche game, but you barely see a similar amount of players around you in any other mmo.
@@immatoll4375PvP only is NOT a long lasting investment. PvE and PvP are both extremely vital to any MMOs success. They both balance eachother out, and bring different variables to the core game and community. They screwed up massively, and dug their own grave. 7k players a month is a fkn joke.
@@immatoll4375 making a PvP oriented MMO is never a good decision. I can see why they changed.
@@immatoll4375 Its like people didn't read what you wrote.
@@CL-jq1xs Because Albion online isn't still running and expanding. Because EVE most defiantly isn't still going strong huh?
the "mmo" that is only for the hardest of hardcore cheaters and trolls with null integrity, because not only is is cheaply made and full of bugs, but devs were dumb enough to make the only bug report function a PUBLIC ubb-forum, so that EVERY bug and exploit could spread much faster than anyone could not care less to fix it or rollback any effects.
Didn't like that they retroactively ruined my gear 3 times.
Them changing the level cap gave me less reason to play. Changing level cap equates to them changing how I will experience the things I enjoy, content I enjoyed at 60 will be an unearned level of easy at 70.
Harvesting any resource and coming upon another player ruined gathering and crafting for me. Take a page out of ff14, have it so the resources exist for each player. Harvesting resources should have the potential to function like the chestruns do.
Buying a home shouldn't initially give the player an empty space. The house should come with low quality decorations that make the place feel cozy. The player can replace these decorations of their own volition.
I would ask for more things, but I just realized I'm wasting my time.
Crafter - when the crafting got nerfed and got to where you couldn't craft for your character it killed the game.
To anyone who still plays/copes that this game has potential:
The dev lead for this game is grossly incompetent, and until this changes, it will stay dead.
1. Bugs/bad engine being used (every update/expansion that brings players back only sees them losing players because of critical game breaking bugs that occur when even the slightest change to the game is done)
2. Lock servers during expansion/updates (prevents friends from joining other friends killing game potential) devs had numerous chances to fix this and show us they get it but they dont.
3. Servers die, req paid transfer, rinse/repeat.
4. Paid content without addressing core issues (nw continues to add battle passes/expansions without addressing bugs/engine issues/server issues etc, why come back and pay for this game when there's glaring egregious bugs/issues that existed when we quit previously?)
New world’s combat, with ESO’s world/lore and SWTOR’s dialogue and quests would be the best MMO.
ya how hard is it to just get a 20 year old series to give you their ip to make a mmo right. every mmo should have a already established lore and world why should we need to learn about a new world without 20 years of lore
Wow's world and new world's mechanic would be perfect.
I hate new world combat, it’s clunky, 3 button bs
@@tayalt2406 its way more then 3 buttons since combat doesnt only consist of your abilities, but also dodging, jumping, pots, weapon switching, animation cancelling and heartrunes
@@tayalt2406I love the combat, I use controller anything more than 3s to much to keep up with
Amazing! Swimming! I can't wait to see such revolutionary mechanic added to this game.
This game never left Beta, i feel like i bought an half cooked pizza with the wrong toppings and now the chef told me he is going to finish cooking it and serve it to me back after i ate a slice and said it sucks.
I hate the fact that mechanics, visuals and systems in this game are so good but at the same time I don't feel like doing them is worth much...
idk i think everyone should take notice that fresh start servers are always big jump of playercount. I myslef love fresh starts in mmo rpgs, and i would be fan of yearly wiped servers, or just fresh start servers every year or every 6 months (ofc if they dont want to wipe them, they should at least merge them constantly when player count is decreasing) I think it would give the game regular players that like fresh starts like me and i would jump to the game untill i get bored again and again every time when fresh start servers arrive.
Server population numbers is, imo, the single most important thing for an mmo. without it, nobody will stay. You need enough that players are constantly around, but not so many that everything is camped and can't be done. High pop servers with layers for overcrowded zones is a must
Hope they turn it around. I would like to play it again. But there is just not much exciting endgame content and they messed it up in the beginning with crazy bugs und gold dupes. The basics are there with the sounds, music, graphics etc. and when I watch my saved videos I really started to miss the game and enjoyed my 300 hours a lot.
I for one quitted bc of gameplay, do not know how to explain it but it is weird ,I would rather had the wow combat or terra (combat gameplay was fucking great in that game) ,their combat gameplay its something new but I feel its broken, I didn't mind the empty world I wouldn't probably play after getting to some end game, but as it stands now I played a bit at start gave up, came for greatsword then gave up .If they don't do mega servers they should do something like companions to experience the dungeons solo, that I think will add some more hours for some people especially when they have some chain quest tied to dungeons.
i hope AGS listens to you asmongold, a true respectable new world fan
9:48 Weeheeeee I've been waiting for this since launch. - Year One Supporter - 🧘♂
Albion Online, actually has over 100k concurrent players nowdays. Mobile and its own launcher.
at release i ve started up from those zones and now each New World zone is end game zone, trash managment from the amazon side, hired/fired system at ags studio needs to be addressed.
by the way Asmon to keep game running and going afk isnt almost 2k gameplay hours lol
I've never played a game where it was so easy to troll people as this game.
Whenever i would stand still, someone would aggro an enemy, stand next to me. I would then take damage.
Sometimes, dickheads would decide to follow me around and loot half of the enemies i killed.
I remember when they added voicechat and kids would scream in theirmicrophones for everyone nearby to hear...
All this would never happen if the mechanics weren't so broken.
Albion's player base is 90% off steam, around 50-60% are using native client and ~30% are mobile users
For the price new world is a great game. If u dont approach it as a forever game and just as a regular game that u reach an end point and move to another its actually fantastic. Its the live service part without a monthly payment to support further development thats a prob. It cant decide what it wants to be. But for the money? Damn good game
I think new world gameplay base is kinda fine, but they build terrible quest, terrible history, and every nice mechanic has a issue that they are not fixing. For example the crafting system, is kinda nice, but the shop and dugeons make the system kinda useless until you max level. Where you use it a little bit and then becomes kinda useless again. The dungeons are not bad, but you need to redo them until you go crazy, and just some dungeons are userfull, others you cant find players and maybe never gonna play. If you want a set to craft better items you need to farm a hidden especific mob like crazy to have a 1% chance to drop. They could drop that in the dungeon boses and make every dungeon userfull, but no, boses drop items that are just userfull in the level, but because you up like crazy the dungeon is useless. The combat also is not bad, but the one winning is the one who farmed all max level items, and to get the items you need to do the PVP, where you gonna die to the people who farmed the items
The fact that the New World team is going to be working on the upcoming new Lord of the Rings MMO doesn't exactly instill me with much confidence in the project... it will be interesting to see if it can compete with the existing MMO, Lord of the Rings Online, which released in 2007 and still has a stable population of players.
Once I hit 60 and I realized the leveling system, All the crafting and gear, I just gave up. Way too f****** tedious for me...
Anytime you get a bunch of people in one area it’s a janky mess. It’s laggy as hell and no matter how much I keep upgrading my internet speeds and regardless of me running a Ethernet connection the Devs just blame my internet over and over. I’m now at the point of having the business grade 10000 mb/s internet speeds package.
They are just a bunch of delusional amateurs tbh
You still play new world
With this server capacity (2500 players per server) - it doesn't matter, if there will be more new players. Every major event -there is login queue. 2500 players per server is a joke.
I didn’t feel I would invest time in my server because in 2 weeks it could be dead and I have a kid I can’t invest time to do the same shit over and over again. So fuck it.
I have always idolized MMOs even though I don't really enjoy them beyond maximizing my character level with every class only if I really enjoy it..but this game has not once peaked my intrest. It's just not captivating enough...at all?
I like how he felt that he needed to explain that big events are a good place to announce stuff.... lmfao.
11:32 too true. Because a bunch of people wanted a themepark WoW like game so they pivoted to that for the quick cash they'd get at launch. If the game kept the survival pvp mmo setup it wouldn't need to keep pumping out content for the PvEers. The content would be the sandbox created between player conflict. Would have had a lesser population at launch? Yes definitely. Would it have had more playerbase than it does now? Yes definitely.
Don't believe me? Just look up Rust steam charts and you'll see how popular the genre is. Or just look up steam charts and count the pvp games at the top of that list.
I feel like creating a drop loot on death feature could fix the problem of nobody farming the bosses that drop artifacts once they've obtained them
To play you need to buy game and if you want progress more you need to buy DLC, that will be in future company main point to focus, to create more DLC for you to must buy to gain more lvls and GS... that cut lots of players from game..
I wish Asmon would try ESO now. It's actually really good. Combat is interesting and there are so many builds and a few hundred armor sets with set bonuses. There is a lot of variation in player skill when it comes to the fanbase too. There are some really incredible unkillable players but also people that die every time you look at them funny. It's very skill based, skill as in not just your play skill but knowledge of the game and it's mechanics. Plus having player housing that you can build however you want and unlock items for your house through questing and the ESO store. There is A LOT of cosmetic monetization, that's the main downside to ESO. The game itself is really solid and it has a pretty large player base. The huge open world pvp battles are great. For PVE there are dozens of dungeons maybe 100, I've never counted them but there are A LOT, raids too.
I'm sure the 9000 people playing New World are thrilled
(I did not make this up there's literally only 9000 people playing it and half of them are bots)
Its less than 7000, and maybe more than half are bots to farm runs and people come to check on their bot maybe for 10mins lmao
9000 concurrent players. Which is still bad lol
LOL, you are so right. I just checked and its 8.5k
9000 is still better than 99% of the mmo,
TRUE
Another thing about new world is all of the gear u get except for maybe 2 pieces. it just looks like shit or beyond goofy. And even the mtx cosmetics look like shit. And this is the least of their worries tbh.
I hope it comes to console, I've wanted it for so long and the UI is setup easily for controller/console
both players, the new one and the old one, will be happy about this.
The devs are incompetent, as someone that’s still plays, the PvP is the only thing worth playing the game for long term, and a PvP island is not what anyone asked for, we have been asking for casual wars for 2 years and they will deliver this PvP island crap that no one will play after 2 weeks. The devs are truly clueless and out of touch.
They fixed a lot of the desync in this last patch. It's not janky anymore.
I read the title as "Real Worlds BIG announcement" and you could guess my confusion.
If there are valuable resources, people would still create parties in discord or create non aggresion pacts if large number of people just to harvest them.
Stop shilling for AGS, we all know it's going to be just as terrible as Rings of Power season two. There's no saving a game run by people who should stick to delivering packages.
If he doesn't shill for Asmon Gold Studios, who will?
When they say swimming... don't say Oh finally! Rather How much swimming are talking about!
i quit playing because there was no large scale pve content like actual raids such as 20 man raids with mechanics bla bla
There is 2 now
@@jzeat1480 One which is useless to run because it's been outleveled by the expansion gear. The other giving the same gear as mutated dungeons.
So, no, there's no meaningful large scale pve content.
@@Nico78Not agreed, worm is only worth doing to get the materials once a week or whatever it is.
@@Nico78Not he didn’t say meaningful. 😉
@@jzeat1480 if there's no actual reward to the content, the content might as well not exist, which was the whole point😉
My PC crashes every time I log into New World and nothing I’ve done has fixed it. I want to love this game so much but I literally can’t play it reliably.
I had to Uninstall and Reinstall Steam to fix that issue myself.
The only way i would play new world again is if they rework the combat because it is way to janky especially in end game
Neat. I bet we still cant swim though.
I will never understand the concept of 'fresh start' servers.
MMOs are about grinding and persistance, its antithetical for the company to go "Hey guys! We're starting a new server release where you get to abandon all your hard work and do it all over again!"
The issue with modern MMOs is persistance of content and playerbase, even WOW suffers from dead server syndrome and seasonal gimmicks.
The only way id ever play New World again is if it was a fresh start. A lot of people dont like being hundreds of hours behind other players.
@@Battzthat would never really change since new world never fixed duping properly and there's a small % of players that keep that info to themselves. So no matter how equal the starting ground is, normal non-cheating players stand no chance versus people who can achieve the equivalent of say 100 of your playtime hours with a few clicks.
@@arkdesign9517 Even if that was true and there were maybe a few dozen people that knew how to duplicate still, that doesnt mean that fresh start servers are pointless. Id rather be behind a few players who can dupe than be behind every single player on the server who isnt new like me. You havent changed my mind.
@@Battz it matters if you can buy gold or replicate gear.
@arkdesign9517 like I said. Most people aren't doing that and I'll take a fresh start over being blatantly far behind everyone.
queue times for dungeons were INSANE!!
they couldnt get this on console due to how unoptimized it was on release...
so hopefully with a console release (if real) means an optimized patch
The grind to max lvl was kinda fun in New World, but once you got to max lvl the pvp and end game wasn't fun. Cheaters ruined pvp
Can't stand playing MMO's where the environments are gorgeous, but for some reason (which I know), they make the character models look like crap.
Is the console release gonna create cross play between pc and consoles?
Seems like testing for their LOTR franchise
Still can’t log onto the server without paying to server swap
How does studio backed by amazon not have enough resources? Mind boggling…
Console and the PVP zone was suppose to be during Season 5 road map they kept failing and kept pushing it back, that's why there is no content cause they don't know how to design any and when they do fail to implement it
This game reminds me of anakin as ben said " you was the chosen one!"...
I didn't know anyone was still playing this.
I keep forgetting this game exist.
Desync hasn't been an issue for over a year, from open world to opr to wars
I and a friend are looking for an MMO to play over this summer. We haven't really played any of the "Big 5" MMOs and most of what we played resides in little known and mostly forgotten games like Spiral Knights. Any recommendations?
just not New World lol
Stick to one of the successful older ones. Eso, gw2 and such put new world to shame in every way apart from graphics. It doesn't even matter if they're hybrids or tab target, the skill ceiling is much higher and the combat much more meaningful and complex.
They need to fix the dungeon party for all server can que.
Once it got controller support I figured it was only a matter of time before it goes to console
I honestly like the game... i hope it gets to where it should be one day. I kind the style of combat, even with its issues.
This game IS an amazing game, but the net code killed the biggest part of the end game in the beginning and then the fragmented servers killed the MMO part of it, when the last big update asked players to come back to the game to PAY for more content when the game itself still hasn't been fixed...
Proves that they have no clue..
Even if I wanted to come back to the game I would have to pay money for the last expansion just to experience a half functioning game that they have shown no interest in fixing, no thanks.
Would say it’s good timing because of the drama with Hell Divers 2 and other games. But there’s still Palworld, Lethal Company, Stellar Blade, and eventually Elden Rind DLC they’ll have to compete with. Don’t think these changes are enough. It’s a good time to be a gamer.
Swimming sounds great...but I hope there's a reason to do it.
Ideally swimming is a side affect to actual content, like pirate ship warfare where you get knocked from your ship, or treasure island chest runs involving swimming through shortcuts or along rivers.
Needs something other than just...you can swim now.
I hope it does become a skill, more high skilled can swim faster, breathe longer, dive deeper etc.
Alot of the desync was fixed when they changed the combat code! I think the experience has improved a lot since launch compared to what azmon is saying. At the same time the content could deff use some more improvement.
PvP is just fundamentally broken in new world. Playing light armor dps is just the worst build in the game. There is nothing you can do against heavy armor sword and shield. Sword and shield just not have that much mobility and speed debuffs for who they hit. A pvp only zone will just be full of cheese builds
the idea of a pvp zone is just as dumb as the pvp toggle.
Well they’d need to add content to do with swimming to make any sort of impact
A year of not being able to keep an Azoth Staff in my inventory, with hours and hours of research as to why, and hours spent trying to get help through these guys, I gave up. I really loved this game but I was one of those with the Azoth Staff bug. They not once answered my questions or acknowledged I existed.
makes a bunch of swimming puns and references.
everyone gets excited for swimming being added in
big announcement: POOLS CLOSED!!
It's crazy they couldnt make the game run on PS5 when all the calculations done on the server side. I get Xbox Series S is challenging but come on.
we need boats, we need naval combat, this game has so many pirate stuff but NO BOATS?? WTF
Yeah we DONT need that
@@Battz why not. This game has so many things that reference pirates, spanish naval, and other stuff...in fact I'd say it would make more sense to have boats in the game than rideable mounts. Can you explain why that would be something you DONT want?
Every boat near the island crash and it would be dangerous. The idea is that you are stuck there and has to survive
@@JGburneraccount No I dont want that. They need to focus on so many other things to make the game good. They still have not made a new OPR map and the game has been out for years
@@alexnagasaki1436 who gives a shit. If it's cool people won't care, if it's done well people will enjoy it, besides at this point there's so many colonies and cities I can see why people wouldn't leave everyone is focused on conquering the island now. That's kinda the whole point of the game at this point.
Also seems like they are just trying to get as much experience as possible before releasing their new Lord of the Rings MMO.
The one thing that blows my mind is that if you go to the NW Reddit, there’s a bunch of active players doing nothing but complaining and I’m like
“ if you’re still playing this game after all of its issues, just shut up and play “😂
If there's a full loot element to this zone it would add so much more content and fun for pvp and pve players. Items would mean more and be more valuable which would be good for every aspect of the game! Really excited about this!
I love this games dungeons (expedition mutations). I think they offer what WoW does but a bit better at least for me. The problem is the population just not being there as well as missing some of that extra aspirational stuff.
Theres one raid in brimstone that is massively out of date, no other raid...
Mutation aspirational only is M3 has the difficulty of like.... +7 weekly cap of WoW (so if 15 is max gear than 22 would be about the difficulty of M3)...
IMO has some amazing ideas with mutations/mechanics and scaling it just needs the population and a little more of the aspirational content to really make it playable. Right now you wont find any lobbies and its kind of sad. Expeditions are really up there in terms of content, easily 10/10 for me.
The gear leveling is also an issue for me. For some reason you can get 700 Ilevel gear kind of all over the place and it is not specific to any one area. M2 is 675-700 loot that can drop but M3 is 695-700. You can also just flat craft/buy 700 gear as well with the perks you wanted from whatever item drops.
Im all for alternative paths and doing things and what not, but there really needs specificity. Why run really hard content if you can just buy/craft or chance m2 to 700 gs? And the difference between a 690 or even a 685 piece between a 700 is not that huge.
Just a couple quips I have is all.
"you can still login" yeah unless you buy the DLC you're not doing anything.
this is wrong. you can still login without the dlc.
@@uselfpsand do what, cut trees?
1:47 - got over 1k hours in this game and this nails it
Good end game content doesn't repopulate the earlier zones. It would still feel bad for new players if a bunch of returning players came back. I also don't get into MMO's 2-3+ years past their launch because why would I want to start a competitive game at a 5000 hour disadvantage.
So no swimming? Didn't know this game is a sequel to Vice City
They still don’t have swimming??
