You are welcome!

So far I'm having a blast!

Nice! Don't kill me!

It does! I'm looking forward to that game as well. I think movement in Seekers is a little faster which makes combat very different

I was not paid to do this video. I don't agree with anything you said but I would love if you explained how it's unbalanced and missmanaged. Healing is limited like it is in all other extraction games. You have to choose your fights because your life is limited.

It's a MOBA. There are MMO aspects but it is an extraction game.

Enemies are slow in Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne as well. Slow but they hit hard. The game rewards you for learning attack patterns and dodging attacks. At the same time, if you pull too many mobs you will get overwhelmed and die. At least I do lol

Interesting idea. Are there any extraction games out that do that currently? None that I can think of but that would be cool.

Timmy gamer?

Interesting idea. I think if you do that it would encourage people to get a few kills and cycle out of combat for a little while. Or get some kills and then almost force a death so they don't go on a kill spree.

They did as much marketing for season 7 as all of the prior seasons except maybe season 6 and that's because the Aeternum console release. PvP servers are "thriving" now but they are dying. The entire game is dying. If you don't believe me just look at the steam charts. Every year around October there is a bump in players due to content release. Then over the next few months it dies off. Each year it dies down faster and faster. I don't know what you're getting at saying that this season is the best thing that happened to the game. The steam charts don't match up to that statement. 60k average players in October and 17k average players this month. No bump with the season release either which means the only people playing it are people who were still hanging around from release. And console players which we cannot account for since that data isn't public (at least from what I can see). I'm not suggesting more grind. Actually the opposite. I would rather have everyone start out at level 65. No need to level. And everyone has access to all fast travel points and the MSQ being fully complete. That way people get straight into PvP right from the beach spawn when they load in. This is not a video crying about anything. It's a hopeful video giving AGS advice on how they could improve their game.

@@BraidedZero I agree the game is dying. The PVP server isn't dying. The server is as packed as it was on the first day. Have you even been to an influence race yet? What server? US East? It's a case of too little too late. If they had this gameplay in 2021 they wouldn't have lost 900,000 players in the first 30 days. They've done nothing to reach out to the 980,000 people that have quit. They just keep advertising via the echo chamber they have left playing the game. The people Amazon needs aren't playing the game anymore, or paying attention to it. They should have spent money to reach out to them via big streamers or a Steam free weekend.

The game is on life support anyway. Once LOTR MMO drops you think Amazon is going to maintain two MMOs made by the same studio? One already having lost 98% of it's peak concurrent players? Press X to doubt.

Interesting idea. With companies being up to 100 players I think the main problem this would bring up is that no one who actually wants to do open world PvP would join a company that has a small amount of players. Everyone would instead be fighting to get into companies with close to 100 players.

Valid points. AGS has made the statement that they are running seasonal servers. I've expressed my opinion on it and said it was a bad idea. They are pushing forward so instead of arguing against the seasonal server I will instead target my focus on arguing how they could improve the servers. Yes it will disappear every 3 months but maybe if they learn from each seasonal server we could eventually get a good one. Also, they may try a PvP server again. Just because they did it this time doesn't mean season 15 couldn't be a seasonl server. Thanks for the comment!

Agreed!

I agree. It definitely feels like the ttk is faster now than at release. Of course that could also be because people understand the game better.

Not a bad idea at all. I think not having the gear drop in activities is the biggest mistake.

I think it runs really smooth! Why the comparison to V-Rising and Battlerite? Vaultbreakers is an extraction game in the style of a MOBA. I don't think this game will take from either playerbase.

@ Those are the only other PVP ARPGs.

@@kgeo2686Eternal Return and Supervive also exist

@@BraidedZero what

@@bedrhnyldz sorry, was laughing at @PixelatedFancyLads not you

You can queue in as a solo or duo right now. If you go in solo you get some significant buffs so you aren't punished for playing solo. I kill duo teams all the time as a solo. That wouldn't happen in other extraction games lol

If you don't like the video, you can find another channel that praises the game even when the developers are making bad moves. I'm going to tell it how it is. The game is dying just like it died 3 years ago and if you don't believe me, check the steam charts.

So we have to take this in two parts because AGS decided to create seasonal worlds. If you're talking about normal servers, they should be as you said (starting at the bottom as a weak adventurer... etc... ). But if we are talking about the seasonal servers, the point of them is to break the game (using the developers own words there in one of their recent dev talks) and introduce some crazy mechanics for 3 months and then wipe the slate for the next season. So a battle royal game mode for a seasonal server is what they're going for and I'm good with that. Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the video.

There is a new fire staff that is really good. Everyone is using it

Agreed! You played Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne?

@BraidedZero I didn't get to play dungeonborne before it died, but I did play dark and darker. Tbh tho, I hated dark and darker. Combat was so awful and clunky... I'm a hardcore Chivalry player so it felt so bad compared to what I'm used to in Chiv. And any fights against mages or rangers just felt so boring, with them literally running away forever while you struggled to catch up, as if you were moving through mud. The fact that the game doesn't have native controller support also hurts it, cuz I used the steam layout one, which was ok-ish, had to use mouse to loot, but it wasn't comfortable

Hardcore Chivalry player!?! Did you ever play For Honor?

@BraidedZero yeah, but unfortunately I don't like it all that much. It's clunky imo, there's no real spacing involved, hero balancing is so weird, and you can't really try out heroes without grinding for hours to see who you'll actually vibe with. I just did not enjoy that game at all

Did you play it on release or years later? At release there were only a few heroes which made it easier to play. Now there are so many I wouldn't know where to start.

It's called "Vaultbreakers Playtest" and should show up under your library as games. Did you add it via a key?

Should show up as Vaultbreakers Playtest

Yes I added it the key from Gleam. I'll have to check later. Thank you both.

Well thanks for stopping by!!

Don't know why you bothered to comment either

@@midnightwaterdragon4725 interaction, a view, helping the algorithm the video IS nice

And I appreciate that

?

I love the combat system in New World and it was what drew me to the game 3 years ago. I still love it now but you're right that fire staffs and target lock are killing PvP. I honestly don't know what the developers are doing or how they develop new ideas. They aren't listening to the community, that's for sure.

@BraidedZero They're using NW as a testing ground for the new LOTR. That's why they added seasonal servers now. I don't know why because no one in the right mind would support a new game after they trashed NW. They'll just abandon it too when it flops because of their own choices

I'd heard rumors they already scrapped the new LOTR game. Hopefully that's wrong but I agree, it will be difficult to trust them with their next game.

Agreed. One plus to that though is that a lot of people are doing activities now so they don't lose their conqueror gear so OPR seems to be pretty active. Everyone is using normal gear for races and other open world stuff or just not doing it.

@BraidedZero didn't realise that you could use them in opr without loosing them, intresting

It's an interesting choice for sure. Especially since OPR is cross server which means people on legacy and standard servers are playing against people with broken gear lol

Thanks! I really think they should have started everyone out at max level. The leveling process can be a pain.

The game went live about 2 hours ago so I think they're going to slowly hand out keys today. Additionally there are a lot of people in the community that are handing out keys. I think you can also request access through Steam. Sorry it's frustrating!

"THE MOST ADDITIVE" is enough to call it clickbait - it's manipulation. So you can easy rate him as toxic youtuber.

Clickbate is when you make a title or thumbnail that has nothing to do with what is in the video. Vaultbreakers is a real game, it can be played, it is an extraction game, and it is January of 2025 lol

@@BraidedZero ULTRA OP SUPER ADDACTIVE and simillar manipulative marketing words - is very low type of manipulation and clickbait used in marketing psychology to attract people who don't have much knowledge. Don't use it if you want to be "quality" youtuber.

Again, clickbait is when someone baits you into clicking on something based on false information. I will take your constructive criticism though. Thanks for the comment.

@BraidedZero then marketing manipulation is also a clickbait - its using dark psychology even worse. Just make more technical and less manipulative titles.

Then you aren't very good at Extraction games lol, Dark and Darker is the best example of an Extraction game with a ranked scene

PvP is really fun in Vaultbreakers. It's very rewarding. I see a great opportunity for competitive and ranked play

@@kyin45 just dont really play them, as extraction in the end is avoiding fights opposed to ending games like brs in a fight Now imagine if you can only extract if you kill another team

@@SkitZHitZ Leaderboards is based around getting either kills, money or high end missions. You are never going to be high ranked if all you do is play safe and portal out fast. The high ranked players are the ones dominating the games and going for bosses and so on.

@@WilderQ i see, in saying this because u can go in as a solo with much higher stats it seems better to do so. But most people by the look of it is gona snow ball the ladder off people who lack gear sets. Im still figuring it out dont know how to do a lot of the missions

Thanks for watching!

How so?

@@BraidedZero In my case I don't think the game looks janky, but compared to Battlerite, we can see how much they can improve. Allowing to attack while moving is the first thing.

Gotcha. It is definitely still in development. I didn't play a ton of Battlerite so I'll take your word on that. As far as stoping to attack, it's so quick I barely notice it. But I can see that being a valid complaint

You hit the big points. AGS shuts anyone down in Discord who says negative stuff, they don't check reddit anymore, and they shutdown their own forums. They have no place to communicate with their community. It's an echo chamber over there and they're missing the mark.

Glad I could help!

Agreed. Everyone is using their normal gear in open world combat and using conqueror gear in activities.

I think their biggest problem is that they don't listen to the community. They ban people on discord who question them and I don't think they pay attention to Reddit anymore. And they shutdown their own forums. They are creating a game in a bubble.

Nerdslayer had a review where he said; it's almost as if they developed this MMO in a vacuum. Meaning, not learning from the countless other MMOs before them thus making the same mistakes they made. Truth there.

It definitely feels like they are developing the game without any input from the community.

Thanks! That means a lot. I don't think they're listening to the community anymore but it would be nice

@@BraidedZerothey don’t give a shit bro I got blocked by a dev on X for asking a question about this.

They stopped listening a while back. I still hold out hope that they would see some of what we say

@ you are free to think or hope whatever you want, but it’s time to come back to reality bud, they’re milking you until they can dump NW and release the LotR mmo lol

AGS has proved time and time again, THEY DON'T LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY. Back when the forums were a thing I made a post about the upcoming gearsets 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE. I listed what should be included in them, basing most of my ideas off of the Alphagear mod from ESO. When New World gearsets came out they were exactly what I expected...missing huge QoL opportunities. Again, they don't listen...

Thanks!

No offense, and I appreciate the comment but you're not right. You sound like an AGS employee lol "Let's be appreciative we even have a decent game to play." So because it's a game I can play I shouldn't voice my concerns and give feedback when they release garbage?

Yep! Like I said in the video, the idea was a good start but it just feels half baked. They didn't fully think this through. It's like they don't know their community.

@BraidedZero They know but won't listen.. you only have to watch the dev interviews to see they use this game as their personal playground.... there clowns... and don't think of longevity... they learnt nothing from 2021 and ruining it on PC... sure console players have fell for it bought into the rebrand but because they have not learnt from their mistakes it's headed same way as PC did... DEAD

It is sad but you're right. The game is dwindling already. The steam charts show it and I'm sure console isn't far behind.

It wasn't underwhelming, it was just poorly developed. The New World team continues acting in a way that makes it seem like they don't know their audience. They aren't talking to the community and they shutdown voices that challenge them. That's just how it looks.

Play something else is my advice.

You can wear it. It doesn't drop

@BraidedZero Awesome. Thank you newb solo player. Not a good mix. It seemed like others hit so much harder than me. Lol. Played ESO for 9 years so it's a good transition.

I think you have it right with your last sentance. The bugs are definitely killing the game but a lot of people can look past that. It's the lack of vision for the studio. I'm not sure what New World is anymore. It has changed so much from beta to now.

Very easy fix. I agree

25 focus is a 5% cdr. 50 focus is 10% more healing. I do recommend it if you're playing in a group with a healer. It can make a difference.

@ oops i mixed them up

It happens!

I mean I really like what they did this season. It just wasn't implimented correctly. It feels half baked.

@@lordfixit agreed.... you should never split the playerbase in an MMORPG... seasonal servers in such a game type are bad....
