Anyone else checking it out again? Rolled up a new character on a fresh server and I'm having fun so far
>>1471486nah it's shit>t. 4.5k hours tryhard
New World is the game which killed my entire appetite for videogames. I have no words for just how disappointed I am with the release of the game. The first few days of joy, nice gameplay, cool world to explore only to find out they cycled through the same 10 enemy models all the way from starters area to the endgame. Literally NO different models whatsoever. Game just felt entirely dead after you started. I genuinely believed Amazon with it's infinite money glitch dropping their first big title would make sure it would be perfect and could challenge WoW. Instead I just saw the game crash and burn over the course of like 4 weeks? Hell there was even fucking deflation because there was no real way to make money after some initial quests.
>>1471596You're talking when the game launched for the first time and that was unironically the peak of the game. It's way worse now
>>1471486Would never play it. It has a dyke npc that keeps talking about how she beat up some men. Don't support this evil game and it's evil company.
>>1471599Have they at least added more enemy types? It felt like you were fighting placeholders past starting area
>>1471606yeah there's plenty now but that was never really an issue idk why you were bothered. Also to challenge WoW you can't cater to people that like wow, these people will never play anything else. NW could have been unique but it seems they're trying to get the wow audience like every other mmo, that's so stupid
>>1471627I don't really mean it as in challenging WoW but rather just being well made, fleshed out, enough to do, enough to see, living world, etc.
>>1471599This. Everyone flagged for pvp which made launch a blast. It was the most fun I have had in an MMO since the golden age, despite the game otherwise being dogshit.
>>1471486no, shit game
I started playing because I like the combat, I like being able to easily switch weapons to play a different "class" and the non-p2w of New World. It's a better game than Throne and Liberty. I'm tired of WOW and FF and want something different.
Is PvP still optional? I never played it because of this.
>>1471760> It's a better game than Throne and Libertythat's not a high bar>>1471764yes but pvp is 90% the reason you should play the game
anyone else on cimmeria? i need some racist friends to counterbalance the cringe wokeness in this game
Like many others, taking this for a spin again. It's a better leveling experience this time around, but still the same old otherwise, with a focus-shift towards PvE instead.Sure the game is now more optimized and look less crusty, it's kinda insane that AGS charges $60 for the standard edition, with a $30 dlc ($20 effectively for the deluxe edition) that is needed to use mounts and the new weapon type, AND an additional $20 if you want the premium track for the season pass, for a re-release ... and then we have the costs of stuff in the mtx store, holy moly
>>1471799i hate cash shops so much, but at least it isn't p2w
They should have just given anyone who bought the base game angry earth who didn't already own it for the relaunch.
wtf did they do to the running animation? you run like you have a dick up your ass now
What NA server is everyone on? I'm on Pangea.
>>1471822Cimmeria because I never pick the recommended server the game gives me.
>>1471825Pangea was recommended? Mine was different.
>>1471826Nah it recc'd Cathaysia
Third fresh start's the charm? Hopefully? I'm not doing it a fourth.
no more ammo for bows and muskets? lol everything must be dumbed down
>>1471840Good. It's just unnecessary resource management in a game already full of it. Mana regens, melee doesn't require resources, why should guns and bows be constrained unlike other playstyles? Because "it's how it works in the real world"? I'm not playing a simulator. I'm playing a MMORPG to have fun.
>>1471846zoomzoom
Let's start a guild on Cimmeria
>>1471800>*insert +100% boosters in you're path*
>>1471846people like you are the reason the game failed
>>1472056I played the alpha. It was shit and the tryhards ganked all the new players on the beach out of the game during testing. They didn't even have to wait for the release for the community to dry up. tl;dr - Go fuck yourself you revisionist sperglord.
So is the midgame/endgame still the same shit? I mean I guess good for them for finally bringing that shit to consoles, there's a whole ecosystem there that still plays shit like DCUO and shit. Are they basically dropping PC gamers for consolebabs now?
>>1472475I remember you. You just don't like PvP. Tons of people loved the alpha.
>>1472558I remember you too. You're the only autismo that's still sperging out over the alpha version of a game you probably never got to play.>Tons of peopleWho drove off any actual playerbase, like every PvP gankbox ever madeUltima Online pre-TrammelAsheron's Call Darktide serverRunescape's "Darkscape" serverDarkfall x3Haven and HearthMortal OnlineMortal Online 2ArcheAge retail, ArcheAge Unchained again, ArcheAge crypto versionendless numbers of open PvP f2p korean MMOs from the early 2000sHow much more proof do you need that it's a cursed subgenre?
Will they ever add dual wielding to this game?
>>1472562I wasn't the one you were replying to, faggot.
Am I really forced to wear light armor i.e. wear the dress just to min-max my DPS?
>>1472567A recent launch trailer had a character with two daggers, so they might slowly build up to that sort of thing. I want to dual wield shields like a retard
>>1472562damn you're so stupid
Is there a vidya guild/company?
>>1472629Are Jews charitable?
>>1471486>Anyone else checking out the game you already played but objectively worse?Nope
>>1472558(You) know who I was talking to. I made a mistake. >>1472690>Objectively worse>base game improved across the boardUnless you seethe about crossplay or a bug currently affecting 21:9/32:9 resolutions, there's no reason to say this.
>>1472714The only thing tab target combat is an improvement over is running a cheese grater over my nuts
>>1472718>tab targetwhat
>>1472722It's not. There's a lock on feature and weirdos are calling that tab targeting because you can switch targets.
>>1472787It's basically a dark souls lock-on for console kiddies.
The lock on was - thankfully - nerfed in beta. If you're at least somewhat proficient at using a mouse and keyboard you'll be better free aiming than a locked on controller player.
>>1472800it's still bad because good players (like me) can turn on and off instantly just to snap on someone and then make the right adjustments manually, it's actually op in wars when you need to focus someoneit's bad, there's no argument in favor of it. But the game is dying anyways so who cares kek
>barely hit 53k players>already trending downHope they enjoy their console audience lmao. fuck em.
>>1472897standalone clientMMO players don't use steam
>>1472906NW doesn't have a standalone client.
>>1472909It's a MMORPG
>>1472916That's only available on PC through steam.
>>1472919and PC GamePass
>>1472562Eve and Albion also the gankbox subgenre is Top10 Steam Charts material if it's a first person shooter.
>>1472562lmao bud thinks he's smartyou're just embarrassing yourself stop posting please
>>1472562Yeah I mean just look at how well New World is doing since they switched from PvP game to shitty WoW clone. Oh wait.
Am I crazy or does the game look worse? I don't remember everything being so washed out.
>>1473182The numbers would be even lower, assuming it'd even be running with an expansion in the original design.t. someone who actually fucking played it YOU CUNT>>1473177Very rare exceptions that both have law systems to mitigate ganking. New World's alpha was open PvP everywhere with zero repercussions.>>1473389DX12 client is bugged. Also turn off FSR/resolution scaling.
>>1473414I'm using DX11 and FSR is off
>>1473422resolution scaling at the bottom of your settings menu?
I want to play it but I don't want to dish out 60 bucks for it...
>>1473749Same. I kinda want to wait for a holiday sale but they got the new player server and events open right now so I also don't want to miss out on those.But I honestly think Amazon will just say fuck it next year or so and go full F2P so they can go hard on the cash shop.
look at this stupid fucking helmet
Gotta say I'm surprised by the lack of niggers in the main story. It's almost all Whites. Lots of women unfortunately, but still.
>>1473763idk man that's actually kind of cool
Kind of having fun with spear + throwing hatchets.
I just went from 1 to 200 in mining AND logging in a day
I'm actually having fun. Decent amount of open world flagging on Cimmeria
How long is nw gonna last this time ?
>>1474572Depends on when the console players are gonna burn out but I'm guessing it will be completely dead by the end of the year.The devs have no plans except cashing in on the console players right now.
>>1474572Hopefully at least 3 months so I get my money's worth for the DLC.
>>1474572Have they announced any kind of roamap at all? That'd be very important to give people things to look forward to. Console MMO players are a weird bunch, I mean DCUO is still somehow going which might as well be classified as a console MMO.
>>1474602>3 monthsLMAO look at this delusional anon
>>1474802Console players will keep it alive
>>1474720No lol they're recycling seasonal events for console players already.
>return to the game and try it again with the re-release>hit max level in two fucking days as the main story quest shits XP all over you>there's absolutely nothing to do in endgamewell done AGS
>>1474903thisconsolechads, as always, will save this game
>>1475030I've never understood the obsession with modern MMOs and speed leveling. Leveling is supposed to be an important milestone in power gain.
>>1475030>>1475033If you're not playing for the pvp it's not worth your time
it's really crazy how they totally changed the core focus of the game from MMO survival pvp to wow theme park with some pvp and then just stopped making content for the theme park. what was even the point? the combat in this game is so fucking good even dumbed down (rip stagger) but there's just nothing to do unless you're in a top guild and get picked for wars. the ffa pvp is a step in the right direction, but of course they fucked it up. maybe they'll address the teaming issue. probably not. really just give us a couple pvp servers and i'd be pretty happy.
>>1475341S-surely the console playerbase is high enough to incentivize them to do a roadmap for PvE and PvP....
>>1475341they just brought stagger back against npcs, there's a chance it'll be back right??
>>1475341imagine how shitty the mmo survival pvp design of it must have been to make that shift and still release it in the state that it was in at launch. It must have been an absolute dumpster fire. >>1475376We will see. The 2025 roadmap will reflect that. If it feels like even less content than before, then we know the console launch failed. If it seems like its more content or similar, then it was probably a success.
>>1475428>>1475341stagger was shitalmost every decision they did was wrong but removing stagger on pvp was correct
>>1475434having fun with that twitch ban, asmongoldberg?
>>1475440>getting locked by hatchet auto attack until you die is a good designyou guys didn't play the beta right?
>>1475459You don't get locked. You can dodge out of it. Asmon was trying to jump out of it like a retard. Do we really have to post this video again? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ5Lhsdcrgk&t=487s
Social Distancing is an absolutely retarded fucking name for an ability but it kind of makes me chuckle because I like to imagine someone LARPing and yelling that out loud in the middle of the woods while they autistically hop back from their opponent.
>>1475464I actually never watched this guy. I'm just someone that played the beta
>>1475487yeah so you're just a retard
>>1475492I was a board 1 member in a guild that dominated the server for many months. Have you ever played a war in NW? Imagine playing that shit with the same stagger from beta, actually even OPR would be a shitshow with it. Please enlighten me, how do you think stagger would make the combat better?
I never played when Stagger was a thing in pvp did they just not have DR on it or anything? I feel like that's Rule 0 when making CC abilities in PvP is to give it DR when it's used on you within a certain amount of time.
>>1475517what's DR? something like a grace period? Here's the thing, that wouldn't matter since people would just wait until it's gone and then chain lock you again. This shit was already discussed plenty times before in other forums and the only people still giving a fuck about this are these >>1475464 that probably never played the game much and are just parroting some streamer idk. Also there's already plenty of skills with stagger in the game. People crying about this are just the filtered ones
>>1476230Diminishing returns yeah, if you get hit with 50 stuns/cc after X amount you'll just start resisting them basically.
Combat was much better with stagger.t. beta tester
>>1475464great video, I missed it when it first came out, thanks for sharing it and I think it's the truth.
damn nigga we got queues now
>>1476775>>1476879very organic posting in here
>>1477005Are you implying that people are being paid to shill against the changes to combat in New World? lmao
Been doing light shieldless sword+vg and it is surprisingly good. Slapping in world PvP and arena.
>>1471486This is a PvP MMO where the top guild gets to sort of siphon money off everyone else and control everything right?I used to be a guild like that but I'm too casual now. Contemplating taking a chance on GW2 again
I came back from 2 years ago and the first thing I noticed is the leveling speed of everything. It's so fast, I get a level every 2 quests, I thought they revamped the leveling experience? To be honest I never had an issue with it sucks right now I'll probably get to max level in less than 20 hours
>>1477972Not only that, but they lowered the difficulty of overworld mobs and even decreased their aggro radius lol. I don't really care since I only play for the PvP and 1-65 was pretty quick anyway, but it's still kind of retarded. Gotta baby the console players I guess.
>>1477972It's actually kind of crazy how much you over level just by doing the main quest and maybe some sidequests. I'm like level 36 and barely getting to Brightwood.
What the fuck man I just bought it and this is the most fun I had with an MMO in years. Why do people hate it so much? I hope the devs will keep making content for it and not just leave it in maintenance mode.
>>1478104you're new, in time you'll learn why people hate the game
>>1478118>once you play the game too long and no longer have fun, you'll see why people no longer have funlmao you "veterans" sure are obnoxious toxic assholes, huh?>>1478104glad you're enjoying the game, anon, I hope you keep having fun at your own pace
>>1478183nta but it's more that the more you play the more you see the flaws to the point they obscure everything you once found fun. it also helps rn that NW is particularly good at the fresh start stage.
>>1478189that is a fair pointwhat should they implement to keep players long-term?
>>1478104I hate is because I was exited at launch and they let me down massively It's a total joke of a game designed by some trillion $$ company
I'm confusedIs there a new update or a whole new expansion? I can only find "rise of the angry earth"
>>1478210revert the game to day 1 post launch patch, start anew
>>1478303Unfathomably based take
>>1478327>>1478303I didn't play at OG launch. what are the biggest differences from then and now? my brother said they were leaning more towards survival horror at the time. that true?
>>1478293The update bakes Angry Earth into the game now, it's only there separately for people that never bought it.
>>1478331the game was supposed to be a medieval rust, but they changed that midway and went for a mmorpg. At launch the game was in the transition phase between those 2 and imo was the peak of the game, every single update after that made the game worse.
>>1478343also forgot to add: THE GAME
Okay you got me, I'm BOOOOOTING it up again.I only have the base game, is there any point in playing or do I need to splurge on the DLC right away? (not going to do this but it will decide whether I start playing or not)
>>1478722you'll be locked at level 60 and no mounts/flail weapon
seems like my builkd has to be either pve or pvp oriented and there group vs solo aspect as well. is there an all around build or inclination i should be aiming for? i want to do both. Im using fire staff and ice gauntlet btw. Also would fire staff and life staff world together? i like the idea of it. especially with providing a support role when looking for groups
never played it before how's it run on Xbox
>>1478728>no mountsReally? What a scummy thing to lock behind a paywall
I just started a fresh account on a new "aethernum" server. Am I going crazy or is the starting area the exact same? What exactly did they change?
>>1479198they made everything easierlevels, life skills, items, even mob AI is dumbed down
where is that quest?
Musket with the new lock on is just retarded OP don't know why anyone is even using other weapons.
>>1479801wait yeah, isn't musket hitscan? lmao
>>1480126no, not anymore
who on maramma?
>>1479823they literally have PvP
https://youtu.be/myvaOXutyJo
I am having FUN
Ok so what's actually the deal with this game? The consensus seems to be that it's a really fun game but lacking for end game and while that normally wouldn't be a problem Amazon hasn't addressed it?
>>1482596not even 20% of players played OPR, you only need level 60 to queue that. This means that the majority of players got filtered by the leveling (imo it was already too fast), so they spend 3 years remaking the 1-60 experience and didn't do anything else.Now you get to 60 in a day and quit because there's no content, wait more 3 years for them to address that.
>>1482654Hmm. I'll just refund it then unless playing an hour of gameplay grabs me. I kind of FOMO'd in seeing the player counts, but that'll probably just fade in a month if there's no end game road map to retain people
>>1483502the pvp is the best from any mmo so if you never played it you'll have some fun until it gets boring.
>>1483520What's the gripe with the game then? That end game pvp isn't rewarding enough?
>>1483559nah the pvp is fine but it's the same thing from 3 years ago, literally the same nothing new really. Also they broke the game in every patch and we still have bugs from the beta, it's like some people made a great game and handed everything to a bunch of unemployed anons from /v/ or some shit
>>1483976unemployed dangerhairs from reddit would be a more accurate description
hello new world enjoyers. when do i buy dlc? asap or when im over level 60
>>1484519with the dlc you get a mount at level 20 if that's not an issue to you wait for 60 to see if you like the game or not
anyone here have all 43 points of interest in cutlass keys? can you post a screenshot of your map? so i can see which im missing, i'm 42/43
whats the best realm to play on on the US East servers? I know Hudsonland and Pangea are the highest pop servers but what about Rosa or Arctica or Cimmeria?
>>1485433It doesn't matter. Servers get merged and new get made whenever an expansion drops. I've been forcefully merged into a new server like 5 times since the game was released on PC. If you want to sweat PvE/PvE just go into a higher pop one since wars and raids are not cross server
>>1484062there's a whole zone where you have to flag to enter >kill a player get a coin>die drop all the coins you had as loot>turn coins in for loot at neutral zone
>>1471486do I need to buy more stuff it to try it again if I bought it at launch? I'm having an MMO itch and I did like the gameplay back in the day.
>>1488008You need to also have the seething earth expansion to get access to the new stuff and mounts. You can play it without it but won't get to play any endgame stuff. Make a new character and level to 40 if you like it buy the expansion
>>1486574can you join a party cross server?
bump
So far so good. I like the healer class.
>>1491253there's already too many skills that have stagger, having stagger on any light attack is just stupid
Devs have been silent since release. Weird. They used to have 1 video every week
I'm playing on Valhalla, looking for a good marauders company
>>1493528>brainlet
what's the average time it takes to get to end game gear score?
>>1493528kek you're so dumbliterally filtered
>>1484852
>>1495980you just need 695 gs to do everything to game has to offer. it will take you more time to get gear with the perks you want than to reach max gearscore, probably 3 weeks if you play everyday. gearing in new world isn't that hard and unlike koreanslop. you're not on a constant gearscore grind
This re-release was a flop. I doubt they'll shut it down though, New World is basically their playground to test their shitty engine. It still has a couple of years left before the dev teams moves to LotR
>>1496079cool webm
Game's been quite comfy and enjoyable with new players around
>>1497041
Any vidya us east coast companies?
is this game fun solo?
>>1497300/v/vg/vm/ doesn't play this game. the only 4chan guild died with takagamahara server>>1497688Yes, pretty much everything can be solo'd except the raids and I guess dungeons/battlegrounds but you can queue, no need to interact or lfg
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1731294521026633.webm
>>1497759I do but I'm not a na cuck. Used to roll over you guys before tho
>>1497767this confirmsevery woman play as a healer
when does this game get hard?
>>1498877pvp or some endgame dungeons/raidsit wasn't like this before but they dumbed down for people like you
>>1498880I only waited this long cause I wanted controller support
no level scaling makes this better than wow by default
>>1499025exactly
>>1498877m2s onwards. specially now that there's lots of new players with shit gear and no clue how mechanics work. i'm literally working overtime as healer whenever i queue for random mutated dungeons. these newbies just run around like headless chickens when their health goes below 50%
is there any reason to use trading post before 65 or do quests give you all the gear you need?
>>1500059just use quest gear, if you still feel underpowered try buying faction gear
If you're new don't go into gorgon groups unless you have bis gear
4k hours on trapper musket
Did they make m2s harder?
do I get exp boost if I leave pvp on?
>>1497886fuck I chose the right class then.
>>1497886Healing is comfy in this game.
>>1502705the entire game is /comfy/ certified
>>1502317a little
are they gonna keep adding content even though there's no sub
>>1505041No one knows, these devs are awful. I don't think the rerelease was that successful but new world is basically a testing ground for the lord of the rings MMO so I assume they will probably keep updating it for a couple more years at least
>>1505143my theory is that the nigger devs realized the rerelease flopped so they're not commiting any more time or resources. they promised a roadmap after the console release but we haven't heard from them at all. they may be restructuring and leaving an skeleton crew for new world. we'll probably get a couple more raids, a new weapon and that's it. most of their updates from now on will just be related to making their shitty engine better
I love this game bros it's so comfy
>>1506622I agree too bad they made low level zones almost useless
what skills should I be using for bow solo pve
>>1508144why would you solo with bow? content that can be solod includes portals, some world bosses and chest runs, you want self sustain and big aoe damage. a good solo build would be greatsword with leeching perks, blooddrinker perhaps. ytou could use bow as secondary as having a ranged weapon on you is always good, but i would use a single target build for bow, maybe copy the one from the raid
