Thoughts on the latest expansion?
Where's the other thread
>>2027595Another miniscule step in the right direction. The game is great but the development cycle is glacial. I like that gear is more customizable. The new zone is the best one yet. The catacombs are awesome and will only get better, yet very very slowly. There are several quality of life improvements, and more are coming. With all this being said, this update still boils down to your gear being nearly useless yet again, faced with another gear chase. Also, I hope you enjoyed the same chest runs you have been doing all this time because it's the only way to get infix gear. And you get to do them with, you guessed it, AN ALL NEW CHEST RUN!!.... I love the game, but I don't expect a new real content drop until October 2026. Until then you will see only the most minor of updates every 3 months. If you haven't played the game since launch, I can guarantee an amazing time. If you have been playing all this time, it's just another gear grind for your new opr build.
I haven't played in over a year what should I do to gear up again
>>2028191A lot. Gearing actually feels like an mmo now, lots of grind
catacombs is fun
The set from the PvP track is going to be almost impossible to complete
>>2027847apparently they just made /vm/ a 5 page board
Is farming expensive ores required for endgame
>>2029067what kind of ores? you mean iron and that shit? not anymore. crafting is dead this season as all the best gear needs to be grinded for. if i know ags they kill something to rework it later so you should probably still level up your crafting
Daggers when
anyone know any good PvE guilds in Valhalla? Tired of queueing for catacombs and doing raids with random shitters and always being the only one not behaving like a bot
>>2027595New gear fucking sucks and I don't expect it to get better for the next few months.What I expected>all perks can appear as both fixed perks and charms>you can get an item with enchanted ward as fixed perk, and change the elemental stuff based on content you're doingWhat we got>the situational stuff like trenchant or elemental conditioning is fixed perks>the meta stuff like EW is charm perks that you never swap out
>>2030537Also named gear being virtually non-existent so you can't try and force some of the fixed perks is an asinine decision. And when I say decision I mean that very loosely since obviously this whole thing was rushed.
>>2030537>NOOOOOO I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF GEARING IN AN MMO
>>2030550enchanted ward is shit in pvp so yeah you swap it out
i dont have friends and the shitters i keep queueing with for catacombs cant get past the 4th boss and only because im carrying them
>>2027595Soulless game and soulless playerbase99% of chat is filled with people looking for groups to afk in gear casino farmsPvp is negative skill, 50 unkillable melees spamming left click against each other, very fun
I'm not a zoomer or a faggot so I dont give amazon my money.
Only managed to loot two EW/Refresh/Health pieces from Mutated Glacial Tarn last week, unfortunate that this week's gear sucks.
holy shit it's all over. amazonlaid off over 30k people including apparently most of amazon games studios. not being a doomer here but this might be over for new world
>>2033436>not fakewhat the fuck
I was thinking just last week that it's oddly nice of Bezos to let the game still run and make updates for the game despite it being a flop compared to everything else they do.
of course they shutdown new world when it was finally getting good
Confirmed NW devs laid off so far Environmental Artist Stubbles on X and linkedin Aenwyn hinted at it on X and mentioned it in-game chat (NWDB has a screenshot Joel's account is gone and confirmed it on a stream he's gone Hurley confirmed via LinkedIn Ashley A. (SDE III) Tech Lead confirmed on LinkedIn Brian J - Tech Artist confirmed on LinkedIn Mike M - Character Artist confirmed on LinkedIn Mirza S (QAE) u/Lydia , u/Fenne , TrevzorFTW no longer have CM roles on discord (CMs)
>>2033505All things easily handled by AI.
apparently the entire irving and san diego studios are gone, all the new world devs where there
>>2033609I saw someone on discord say they're moving the game to Amazon Montreal.
it's overhttps://www.newworld.com/en-us/news/articles/update-on-new-worldevery mmo i play gets shutdown fuck me
>>2033741stop playing the mmos i'm playing broz
>>2033741I was going to pick this game up at Christmas since I heard it was doing so well.
>>2033785i mean the game will still be alive for at least all of 2026. new world has at least 300 hours of solid content
fuuuuck we didn't spend enough money bros
>>2027595I am a bit surprised they are just shutting down altogether. I thought for sure they'd try to dump off New World to a different studio with maybe lower dev costs than AGS.
>>2033812maybe there's hope some other company buys the ip from them before it gets shutdown
>>2033741I am financially ruined. This must be how gacha players feel when their games shut down
>"The gearing sucks due to RNG but framework is good so hopefully season 11 will fix it by adding more named items and maybe some crafting shenanigans"Looks like the joke's on me.
I think I will keep playing regardless. It's literally the only game I have installed and all the single player games I ever wanted to play I have played
>>2033799Half dead. No holiday events.
I bought over 50% of all the skins they ever release, and I didn't even get to play this game at 4K yet?now it's shutting down????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????can I get refunded for my years of purchasing shit if we don't at least get a LAN/self-hosted option? like how can I sink all this money into cosmetics and the game just shuts down? what the fuck guys
F, sorry to anyone hoping they would turn it around
>>2033741AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>2027595will someone make a private server or stop killing games policy force them release a sdk service installer?
KWABOTY

woke turd finally gets flushedgood riddance
>>2034911the game lead has some surprise cooking, maybe daggers can still happen
