I think a lot of people wish it would just disappear forever, but it's AGS's attempt at keeping you busy with content while paying for it. I also think it's like collecting cards, but you get all the worthless ones that are equal to less than you paid for the pack.
Imagine complaining about lack of PVP content for 3 years and this is what you get. And being the hosts for a conference about communicating with your community and making better games, not sandwiches in the kitchen.
Is kind absurd that every time they update something, they break something unrelated that used to work fine before. Since the game launch theyve been this way, at least they are consistent at this.
I honestly follow you to see how NW is going on. I hope to still following you when this game comes to an end, for you are trully nice youtuber and respectful with what you are playing. Pretty solid Season 5 review dude.
I always appreciate your commentary, and have enjoyed the New World coverage since release. I'd love to see you take your talent and apply it to a relevant game. This one is beyond saving.
always love to catch up with your content baggins! its really unfortunate how new world seems its not really able to turn it all around?! Still love to watch your stuff and hope you keep up the good work - in whatever game :)
Rehashing PvE boss fights into a ten person experience will always be a good idea imo and not "just" doing it. This keeps content fresh in a different way whilst also reducing time to create brand new content in terms of vsuals and more etc. Also bug wise, the patch hasnt been out that long and they did some HUGE back end stuff, its pretty expected that a fair few things will break. Pretty synonomous with MMORPGs tbh!
Great video Baggins. The game has become unplayable for me and a lot of people I know who pvp. I love this game and I want to play it, but simply can't at the moment until they address the issue and fix the desyncing (or whatever is causing the issues in combat/bow gameplay).
I felt this post…. I took a month long hiatus, and came back for season 5. As a certified Bow player; I’m disappointed. My arrows are flying towards the 2024 solar eclipse; even the easiest of shots at point blank range. Makes no sense.
@@mattmanzano51 lol well i decided to play anyways and just questing, getting re-familiar. got my mount quest done. everything is feeling good so far. we'll see what happens when i try pvp or expeditions. i actually had a short queue time to even join server yesterday which is good to see engagement but still sad about the server cap. seeing a lot of people, not just bots has been refreshing
New World doesn't deserve you as a content creator. Whether it's live twitch streams or youtube videos, you're always informative and entertaining to watch. Really hope a good MMO comes out that can steal your attention. The real shame is New World has so much potential. Is it the devs? Is it the money men at Amazon? I would love to know what is actually going on behind the scenes at AGS that they could continuously fumble this potentially amazing game.
Since Hotspots arnt dropping legendaries, how about premade food as rewards for m2+, arena, and the trials. I need 300g worth of fish for every hour I play, so I'd like a way to get that.
We told them slayer script in its current state would kill the game. They took 3 weeks and changed almost nothing. Lowest numbers on record and no sign of the dropoff stopping or slowing. There will be less 6k consistent players by June. Just in time for a huge console announcement that will bring no one back. It's over unless they fix this combat system from top to bottom, and focus on PVP content. They keep trying to force players to PVE that aren't even remotely interested in more dungeons and raids. And while most PVPers enjoy a bit of dungeon running it's not their priority. They're simply forced to run PVE content to build PVP gear. 900k players at launch looking for PVP mainly. They all left. AGS keeps insisting they left because they wanted PVE. So they keep building PVE and the numbers keep dropping.....
That magnify is super nice ngl, still not coming back but that change is lovely, 5 hours of content weekly for an mmo is wild. Loved the game, sucks to see it just not getting better…
Left before xpac came out. Enough shamless cash grabs while we are still getting no content(pvp). Name any other game that chargers PER transmog... unforgivable monetization imo.
@@thezikaz shameless cash grabs lmao. theyre cosmetics... and you can earn them in game. go try playing an actual p2w game and youll be begging for NW in-game shop. there's no sub fee for crying out loud
@@Z-MACx Cost of the game, microtransactions, skins, seasons and paid expansions all while waiting 3 years for PVP content. Where's another OPR map? Oh, they are busy adding more cash grabs while people wait for real content. You must be new and haven't reached end game, oh wait there isn't one, but plenty of ways to pay to find out.
Good evening Mr Baggins 😉 I missed that you mention the gypsum kiln bug. since the update you can creat the orbs but cant craft anything with it. or am i the only 1 😆
I'm generally a content and happy person but New World makes be DEPRESSED! Let me explain: While I may want more out of some games it is usually minor and small things that I personally think would improve the game loop or experience. However, New World has a MASSIVE gap between its potential and where it currently is at. NW has come a good way since launch but the reality is that as time passes the potential also increases. Live service games are supposed to develop over time. Yet I feel like AGS is developing New World at a rate that it is actually falling behind even the most conservative and patient industry standards. So much potential that I don't see getting realized. I do believe if updates continue to be as infrequent, buggy, and not substantial with content, NW will be dead before 2025. Actions speak louder than words. AGS's updates do not seem to have talent, direction and creativity behind them.
I am just revisiting the game, I haven't played it in a long time and I had around 550 hours in it when it first came out. Waiting on new Star Wars game, WoW War Wtihin pre-patch and expansion to start.
I understand the emphasis on revamping the main storyline, but realistically 85% of people that play NW have played since launch, (whoever is left) there is no influx in playerbase to justify spending all those resources on the storyline, i dont want to create an alt for NW (which is also pointless since its a classless mmo) just to relive the story that should have been right at launch. if all those resources would have been put into endgame i feel like we would be in a better state.
It's almost like they value the new customers willing to pay, rather than the veterans that already dished out the cash. And they are also laying the groundwork to capture more gullible console players willing to find out the hard way.
Just came back after playing at release. Does the season content carry over from past seasons or do they go away? Seems like they should keep the season themes so there is more stuff to do at end game.
I have never had unexpected game crashes in the game until this season and since the update I have had multiple ones. Also my character just feels different not just in PVP - I am still playing but I just have Copium things will improve. Great video and I agree with your opinion one hundred percent.
The crafting and gathering part was the part i liked the most. I was thinking about coming back for a while. But as soon as i heared that the crafting is bugged once again... im just nope, not doing this again.
The transmog system really killed the game for me. As someone who spends many hours in MMO's collecting appearance gear, the greed they showed on this just outright killed my excitement. Also the general lack of engaging endgame is a concern :(
yes the activity card notification even at max 100 level is super annoying. Giving us some cool reward to continue with the activity cards would be pretty cool. If not, a freaking intern can code up something that checks if you're at level 100 and disables the damn activity card.
I cant wait for the drowning bug that will randomly happen when swimming comes. Season 5 for me is almost done. Going back to eso and focus on 10th anniversary event.
I wish I could go back in time and never know this game ever existed. What pisses me off is the potential this game had to become one of the greatest games EVER created but instead, everything related to the game becomes Frustration and Sadness. That's it, it's sad to see how badly a company handles a beautiful project. New World is by far the most disappointing game I've played and I would never forget about it. Baggins, your content is amazing and the quality of your work is way beyond what New World deserves, please, move forward to a relevant game, this shit is dead already.
personaly just feedup with the constant grind and the lack of a progress feeling, to many things to do, to upgrade skills crafting etc just dont have the hart to keep banging my head on it
I felt like aptitude for seasonal event would be a good idea except that its too simple to abuse the activity cards in current design so it definitely needs a limit which just feels bad :/
how do you change damage points to static? my dmg points floating around and i cant see anything while playing fire staff with bb artifact. And I WANT GLIDERS IN THE GAME DEVS !!!
Another note. All the new artifacts that drop from arenas. Now why the hell did they not upscale these arenas? or make a diffrent version where the artifacts drop. Seriously u just go in swing a bit while watching tv on the side and wait to see if u get it or not..
I agree, however not entirely 0 reason... 200g per run per player generates a bit of gold for 1 minute of combat, especially if you farmed the orbs or orb materials. Players have always underestimated how fast this gold can rack up if you can get in a group where someone is trying to get to burn through 20-50 of their orbs. Next, the set of some extremely rare animated housing decorative trophies to farm there. I've personally only gotten 1 out of 3 drops after over 1250 tracked clears since quarter 1 leaderboards. Lastly, the three sets of leaderboard titles and capes. The arenas have also long been used as an incredibly fast spot to powerlevel new accounts, granting immense xp per kill. But yeah, some fresh gear wouldn't hurt! And If they are going to stick with the non-instanced style of open world arena, could have also highly benefited by adding a group queuing system with the introduction of the artifacts.
I've spent 2k hours in NW, loved the setting, the combat, locations.. but I'll be completely honest - recent (last 6 months) updates look like a controlled demolition of the game. Devs released too little content and they've been kinda slow to fix balance issues. Personaly I think AGS will shut down NW in a year or so.
12:20 this is completely different than raid lockouts, because in MMO raids you actually get useful gear and rewards. These seasonal trash content trials are worse than bosses in OSRS reward wise, so I have no idea why they don't just allow us to play the game.
I really like the game, but the lack of progression ends up driving players away. The changes that were supposed to be cool (artifacts, mounts, etc.) aren’t my style and seem half-baked. Another problem I see in the decisions is this tendency to please everyone and end up pleasing no one! If I could give a suggestion, even though I don’t know the reality of the development team, it would be: make the basics work and look to enhance the game’s progression. What keeps players engaged is the expectation of getting stronger and obtaining better equipment, but this lasts too short in NW. There are already cool modes to explore, like corruption, but there aren’t many reasons to do so. Many game modes are abandoned. I hope they manage to find a better path for the game, but I’m losing hope. Excellent video Baggins, thank you!
i sometimes like taking it easy and pveing in outpost rush, that's pretty much impossible now with mounts, it's backcaper gallore no time to take a break
I'm so glad I bought the AoC alpha during covid. New world was a bit of fun but with the amount of repeatable bugs after each patch I've lost all faith in AGS. I hope you bought ashes of creation baggins, at least that it showing more promise and upates than new world ever did.
I love this game. But I was tired and decided to wait for season 5. I haven't even updated the game yet. I'm just tired of the late game cycle. Meanwhile ESO made a free weekend and I'm now happily enjoying a 10 year old game because the devs care
the fact that this shitty transmog-system in NW is now completely behind a paywall makes me so angry, i dont understand what the point of this kind of bad monetesation is?! it looks like they are doing experiments with the playerbase how far they can push this shit, befor the "project NW" dies in pain.
crazy how this video got more views than new world has players.. kinda like when trickbitch is streaming 600 viewers and only 6 ppl talk in his chat for over 3 hours
tried to pick it back up seeing the animation changes etc, and I thought the server was just incredibly laggy. Terrible feeling and just logged out again awaiting the next update :S atleast its buy to play.
I find Season 5 disappointing, as it lacks substantial content and is plagued by numerous bugs and exploits. I'm hopeful that the June update will bring significant improvements beyond just console support.
A lot of new world players turned to Throne And Liberty myself included. New world is in such a bad state that maybe the only thing to do is just leave until they realize the mistake(S) they made. T&L Closed Beta is coming tomorrow, would you consider trying it out off stream (Since it's NDA)? Anyway I'm not playing New World but I like to keep a close eye on what's going on so thank you for the consistent updates on the game state !
@@sliimcracker I have, I still am. Yes the game is not doing too great. Simple answer is : Koreans find the game not P2W enough and not grindy enough. So a majority of the playerbase is global players playing with high ping on servers in Korea. It still held from december to early this mounth so that's really not too bad ! Now the Closed Global Beta happened and most of the global players just played the CBT and will wait for global release now. IMO It's finaly a good MMORPG, there's still room for improvement ofc but overall game is great and fun.
@@funkix60 nice, I played the CBT for a bit, I typically dont play Betas much because I find it silly to dump a ton of time into something that’ll just get erased on launch. From my experience though, the CBT was pretty well executed and I was met with minimal issues in terms of launch so that was neat to see. It’s definitely a game I’ll get a few good months out of if anything.
Good vid, Shit update, AGS seem to have their priorities for the game completely fucked, would be really interesting to see their priority list for fixes, in PvP Unless you're playing Hatchet, SnS, FS or Spear the game basically isn't playable, musket and bow shots going to narnia, legit doing U-turns, shooting up to the moon etc, Crazy desync, slowed down combat animation, lockout, Game only registering a couple inputs and ignoring the next 5... so many bugs mixed with current meta and then the slowed down combat, feeling like you have perma 10-20% slow debuff... AWFUL Patch for PvP ESPECIALLY as Bow.
The biggest fail - gems and gem gatekeeping (especially for m3s)!! Bane and ward sets are gone but now different gem sets shine for different bosses within an expedition
Logged back in to see what was going on after a year. Realized there's a new expansion. Laughed when I saw it was $70 for 5 levels and 1 revamped zone that's small. Logged back off and deleted the game immediately.
Bugs are reason why i lost any hopes for the game, we are in year 3 of the game life cicle and they still manage to fckup season update with no real new content after delay
I loved this game for a while but now I have finally given up. The pointless updates that no one wants show me they are not connected with the player base at all. The player count actually went down with the new season. Combat was the best part of the game and they thought it was a good idea to change it? It really sucks to say this but me and the people I play with will not go back after this last update. Back to good MMO's like guild wars 2.
I haven't played in a while, logged in to try out controller support. Decided to gather up some material to test it, had to use the keyboard for most of the nodes to gather them, and logged out. The game has a skeleton dev team, and the game is on life support, the game is dead, unplug it and let it go.
yes, the season pass rewards are considerably worse.. same price, less: top items, Mut Mat, and none of certain items also from/in store, like transmog tokens etc
3/10 there if you play a few hrs a day this one will last maybe a month or 2. The stuff there adding like "Controller" is just to help either A jump this to console and forget pc or B try to jump it and make it cross platfrom or C were test dummies for the LOTR that there working on so that can be console day one. This game is still one of the best mmorpgs out there for new player. 0-60 is epic. Lots of hrs of gameplay and i dont regret buying my copy. I just feel like AGS lost there way and have no clue what there doing. Honestly think that they put this on the back burner and are working on the LOTR and have a small crew doing New World.
Mounts in OPR is so bad, destoryed the gamemode and the matchmaking should be worked on so people que as tank, healer or dps. (Mounts in OPR is bad because of no time to fortify and its just chaos and unbalanced if you dont have maxed out mount, they should cap it.) ALSO flying but in OPR, people get stuck in the air and cant move until they get kick for staying afk.
I think releasing a season that requires coordinated groups of 10 to do most of the content is absolutely asinine with player count so low. It's like, "Hey, since there's no one playing, wouldn't it be funny to make this season require large groups so it's impossible to actually complete any of it?!" Spoiler: No, It's not funny. Way to screw over the the handful of people that are still hanging around. They need to start making content that's friendly for solo players and smaller groups because the game will eventually become impossible as more people stop playing. Such a shame.
inb4 springtide bloom and rabbit's revenge have literally zero changes but more bugs and exploits. skeleton crew with no clear vision for the game other than MONETIZE EVERYTHING.
I'd agree 100% on the combat in PVP, it is awful and the main reason I play the game. Combat was one of the top things keeping most people that I know that play and it definitely does not feel good for PVP at all. I didn't seem to notice it as much in pve.
It's also quite pathetic how they treat their customers that all paid! They do not answer to anything, they laugh off legitimate concerns from the community in their videos, their QA/QC is absolutely pathetic and their management and team need to be replaced from top to bottom. I never wish a mans job to be taken, but we are to that point. Enjoyment has turned into frustration and disappointment.
Still waiting for having 50 ms on their tracker, but game plays like 10k MS. I know what ms behavior is like.. One year of this crap. Download dark and darker, 0 latency issues.
They really broke things with that new overhaul. The rubber banding is insane. You go hit an ore or get a chest and you fidget around. Healing is broken right now. My brother just quit because Healing has an insane delay. PvP is just even worse now.
I agree... Meh on the season. Not worth my time. Still pissed off that some trials are locked behind tuning orbs and those trials are locking my access to the new artifacts and their upgrades.
Oh ur pissed u have to do somthing to do a trial? U want artifacts just given to you? Because they actually are. Ohhh no a tuning orb needs to be made.... 😂 be quiet lil man.
The season pass thing, I wish it would just disappear once you’ve finished it, the notifications get annoying
Its all just busy work and a carrot on a stick but you don't actually like carrots...
I think a lot of people wish it would just disappear forever, but it's AGS's attempt at keeping you busy with content while paying for it. I also think it's like collecting cards, but you get all the worthless ones that are equal to less than you paid for the pack.
I don't even understand how to get through it. Used to Division 2 Seasons. lol just level up or just play the game and it will level your season.
I can imagine AGS yelling at their computer monitor, "You didn't mention COOKING!"
Imagine complaining about lack of PVP content for 3 years and this is what you get. And being the hosts for a conference about communicating with your community and making better games, not sandwiches in the kitchen.
Yes, like reworking a bad system they made in the first place is "content". Let them yell.
Is kind absurd that every time they update something, they break something unrelated that used to work fine before. Since the game launch theyve been this way, at least they are consistent at this.
I could play at beginning, now my computer just crash and a lot of bugs after the updates.

Well, they have been most probably doing it for console release. So, priorities are to blame at this point.
Also if they ever do fresh start again a lot of people make characters and will play the story
It's almost like they value the new customers willing to pay, rather than the veterans that already dished out the cash. And they are also laying the groundwork to capture more gullible console players willing to find out the hard way.
Disappointment is a recurring theme with New World. It's too bad. Thumbs up for great videos, though!
I think you're dead on, Baggins. Both, on the review and the simple things that would make it a little better.
Just came back after playing at release. Does the season content carry over from past seasons or do they go away? Seems like they should keep the season themes so there is more stuff to do at end game.
I do not like Season Passes in general. So the fact that this one has crappy rewards make it it easier for me to completely ignore it.

And If they are going to stick with the non-instanced style of open world arena, could have also highly benefited by adding a group queuing system with the introduction of the artifacts.
I've spent 2k hours in NW, loved the setting, the combat, locations.. but I'll be completely honest - recent (last 6 months) updates look like a controlled demolition of the game. Devs released too little content and they've been kinda slow to fix balance issues. Personaly I think AGS will shut down NW in a year or so.
The stacking of items, like sticky vines in the inventory... They don't stack.
12:20 this is completely different than raid lockouts, because in MMO raids you actually get useful gear and rewards.
These seasonal trash content trials are worse than bosses in OSRS reward wise, so I have no idea why they don't just allow us to play the game.
I really like the game, but the lack of progression ends up driving players away. The changes that were supposed to be cool (artifacts, mounts, etc.) aren’t my style and seem half-baked. Another problem I see in the decisions is this tendency to please everyone and end up pleasing no one! If I could give a suggestion, even though I don’t know the reality of the development team, it would be: make the basics work and look to enhance the game’s progression. What keeps players engaged is the expectation of getting stronger and obtaining better equipment, but this lasts too short in NW. There are already cool modes to explore, like corruption, but there aren’t many reasons to do so. Many game modes are abandoned. I hope they manage to find a better path for the game, but I’m losing hope. Excellent video Baggins, thank you!
You're on point about the season. Season 5 the patch upp season 🙏 glad they trying to fix the lil bug that appear 👍✨
This season is loaded with a lot of serious bugs.
I have tryed the winter rune expedition about 30 times, I have not got passed the last boss once. Its getting very boring very quickly
sadly to see, they are digging their own grave. no wonder they keep losing and losing players.
As someone who came back after months of being away, this was terrible. Everything feels worse and there is hardly any new content. June must be good.
i sometimes like taking it easy and pveing in outpost rush, that's pretty much impossible now with mounts, it's backcaper gallore no time to take a break
Don't forget 5 dollars per gear slot
I'm so glad I bought the AoC alpha during covid. New world was a bit of fun but with the amount of repeatable bugs after each patch I've lost all faith in AGS. I hope you bought ashes of creation baggins, at least that it showing more promise and upates than new world ever did.
I love this game. But I was tired and decided to wait for season 5. I haven't even updated the game yet. I'm just tired of the late game cycle. Meanwhile ESO made a free weekend and I'm now happily enjoying a 10 year old game because the devs care
Wanna know the biggest issue with s5? It doesn't feel like an update. Mediocre artifacts. Most of the people still play with their old gear.
AGS' QA people in the dev video were paid actors, called it in comments and they didn't deny it, that means it's true.
the fact that this shitty transmog-system in NW is now completely behind a paywall makes me so angry, i dont understand what the point of this kind of bad monetesation is?! it looks like they are doing experiments with the playerbase how far they can push this shit, befor the "project NW" dies in pain.
crazy how this video got more views than new world has players.. kinda like when trickbitch is streaming 600 viewers and only 6 ppl talk in his chat for over 3 hours
tried to pick it back up seeing the animation changes etc, and I thought the server was just incredibly laggy. Terrible feeling and just logged out again awaiting the next update :S atleast its buy to play.
I find Season 5 disappointing, as it lacks substantial content and is plagued by numerous bugs and exploits. I'm hopeful that the June update will bring significant improvements beyond just console support.
5 out of 10 is very generous. Season 5 doesnt even have a season story, don't worry about reinstalling if you are unsure
Why does consol not work for me when i plut it in ?
When you realize that this video has more views than the player count in the new world
I got a bug that i cant equip the void gunlet
Lifetaker? Its disabled in game. VG is bugged. Doing true damage not void.
A lot of new world players turned to Throne And Liberty myself included. New world is in such a bad state that maybe the only thing to do is just leave until they realize the mistake(S) they made. T&L Closed Beta is coming tomorrow, would you consider trying it out off stream (Since it's NDA)? Anyway I'm not playing New World but I like to keep a close eye on what's going on so thank you for the consistent updates on the game state !
have you played T&L, idk from where, but I heard it’s not doing great in Korea
@@sliimcracker I have, I still am. Yes the game is not doing too great. Simple answer is : Koreans find the game not P2W enough and not grindy enough. So a majority of the playerbase is global players playing with high ping on servers in Korea. It still held from december to early this mounth so that's really not too bad ! Now the Closed Global Beta happened and most of the global players just played the CBT and will wait for global release now. IMO It's finaly a good MMORPG, there's still room for improvement ofc but overall game is great and fun.
@@funkix60 nice, I played the CBT for a bit, I typically dont play Betas much because I find it silly to dump a ton of time into something that’ll just get erased on launch. From my experience though, the CBT was pretty well executed and I was met with minimal issues in terms of launch so that was neat to see. It’s definitely a game I’ll get a few good months out of if anything.
Happy to see a game I enjoy is liked by others :)
After this season my game keep crashing... whatever I do.
Also... why did they break logging??
Did they seriously say: "people are cutting too many trees too fast... lets tone it down"
What do you mean?
@@Skidsarelife it's ungodly slow now. The animation of pulling back the axe takes years
@@spiritwyrmk8622 oh! Never even noticed. Stink :(
AleexTgs - Season 5 the DEATH of New World?? BagginsTV 5/10
Can someone suggest me a melee dps? I'm currently using WH, is GS the best atm? I don't really like that weapon it looks live some FF sword.
Sns spear.
Pls guide me how to get new s5 artifacts… I’m lost as a casual player
Good vid, Shit update, AGS seem to have their priorities for the game completely fucked, would be really interesting to see their priority list for fixes, in PvP Unless you're playing Hatchet, SnS, FS or Spear the game basically isn't playable, musket and bow shots going to narnia, legit doing U-turns, shooting up to the moon etc, Crazy desync, slowed down combat animation, lockout, Game only registering a couple inputs and ignoring the next 5... so many bugs mixed with current meta and then the slowed down combat, feeling like you have perma 10-20% slow debuff... AWFUL Patch for PvP ESPECIALLY as Bow.
will it be good enough to pull me from once human..
AGS does the dumbest stuff ever with every update. Every call they make is wrong.
I stopped playing forever now. This game cannot be saved. AGS sucks and will NEVER change. Game will hopefully completely die.
The biggest fail - gems and gem gatekeeping (especially for m3s)!! Bane and ward sets are gone but now different gem sets shine for different bosses within an expedition
Logged back in to see what was going on after a year. Realized there's a new expansion. Laughed when I saw it was $70 for 5 levels and 1 revamped zone that's small.
Logged back off and deleted the game immediately.
Bugs are reason why i lost any hopes for the game, we are in year 3 of the game life cicle and they still manage to fckup season update with no real new content after delay
I loved this game for a while but now I have finally given up. The pointless updates that no one wants show me they are not connected with the player base at all. The player count actually went down with the new season. Combat was the best part of the game and they thought it was a good idea to change it? It really sucks to say this but me and the people I play with will not go back after this last update. Back to good MMO's like guild wars 2.
I haven't played in a while, logged in to try out controller support. Decided to gather up some material to test it, had to use the keyboard for most of the nodes to gather them, and logged out. The game has a skeleton dev team, and the game is on life support, the game is dead, unplug it and let it go.
yes, the season pass rewards are considerably worse.. same price, less: top items, Mut Mat, and none of certain items also from/in store, like transmog tokens etc
3/10 there if you play a few hrs a day this one will last maybe a month or 2. The stuff there adding like "Controller" is just to help either A jump this to console and forget pc or B try to jump it and make it cross platfrom or C were test dummies for the LOTR that there working on so that can be console day one. This game is still one of the best mmorpgs out there for new player. 0-60 is epic. Lots of hrs of gameplay and i dont regret buying my copy. I just feel like AGS lost there way and have no clue what there doing. Honestly think that they put this on the back burner and are working on the LOTR and have a small crew doing New World.
Mounts in OPR is so bad, destoryed the gamemode and the matchmaking should be worked on so people que as tank, healer or dps. (Mounts in OPR is bad because of no time to fortify and its just chaos and unbalanced if you dont have maxed out mount, they should cap it.) ALSO flying but in OPR, people get stuck in the air and cant move until they get kick for staying afk.
there are only 7000 players playing this "MMO"
I think releasing a season that requires coordinated groups of 10 to do most of the content is absolutely asinine with player count so low. It's like, "Hey, since there's no one playing, wouldn't it be funny to make this season require large groups so it's impossible to actually complete any of it?!" Spoiler: No, It's not funny. Way to screw over the the handful of people that are still hanging around. They need to start making content that's friendly for solo players and smaller groups because the game will eventually become impossible as more people stop playing. Such a shame.
inb4 springtide bloom and rabbit's revenge have literally zero changes but more bugs and exploits. skeleton crew with no clear vision for the game other than
MONETIZE EVERYTHING.
I'd agree 100% on the combat in PVP, it is awful and the main reason I play the game. Combat was one of the top things keeping most people that I know that play and it definitely does not feel good for PVP at all. I didn't seem to notice it as much in pve.
It's also quite pathetic how they treat their customers that all paid! They do not answer to anything, they laugh off legitimate concerns from the community in their videos, their QA/QC is absolutely pathetic and their management and team need to be replaced from top to bottom. I never wish a mans job to be taken, but we are to that point. Enjoyment has turned into frustration and disappointment.
I won't get my hopes up....
Still waiting for having 50 ms on their tracker, but game plays like 10k MS. I know what ms behavior is like.. One year of this crap. Download dark and darker, 0 latency issues.
They really broke things with that new overhaul.
The rubber banding is insane. You go hit an ore or get a chest and you fidget around.
Healing is broken right now. My brother just quit because Healing has an insane delay. PvP is just even worse now.
If you take away your love and affection for the project, 2 out of 10.
Ok new world, this is all, gg next
Combat system in PVP is so so bad right now :(
Commenting for the algo
I agree... Meh on the season. Not worth my time. Still pissed off that some trials are locked behind tuning orbs and those trials are locking my access to the new artifacts and their upgrades.
Oh ur pissed u have to do somthing to do a trial? U want artifacts just given to you? Because they actually are. Ohhh no a tuning orb needs to be made.... 😂 be quiet lil man.
Bro I remember watching this guy 24/7 when I was a kid when he used to play realm royale
So what!
@@petemisc4291 what is what
solid 2 minutes explaining magnify changes was not necessary lol that couldve been 15 seconds
