yes, I was thinking same... I back peddle all the time to not be a automatic crit. its a change needed for controller I think and they have extended it m&k users... I can't imagine I will be using it though.
My thoughts exactly. Plus, in my case, that's the same movement style from Elden Ring. I freakin hate it so much because i just cant freakin adapt to it, so i cant proper enjoy that awesome game. It feels very backwards to me. That's topdown ARPG movement adaptation to me, that, regarding New World, i think it spoils most of that uniqueness/imerssion the original combat style has.
The movement change looks good. I use my keys all the time to move around. It seems like the only real difference is you run full speed backwards and you can't tell where the person is looking from their running animation. If you're moving backwards but fire an attack it will still go to your crosshairs right?
Wow - I'm excited not just from the new content, including them finally unlocking multiplayer for Forge Guardian, but having a video from a streamer that isn't all doom-and-gloom is encouraging. Honestly games are made by people and they don't always agree on what is best for them. Looking forward to more on Season 5. 👍
if you play the ptr the new camera movement also transfers to the live game, i assume they both use the same config file and that change can literally be made modifying some local variables lmao quality ags development as always
PTR breaks Razer keypads such as the Tartarus because it's detecting it as a controller now. So the joystick no longer works as a wasd. This likely also breaks any handicap controllers that someone might be using.
Bug that allows festures being transfered from ptr to live makes me worried on what exploits are in the current meta. (And yes, meta in this game always include keeping up with current exploits)
I think there's some good changes and some well.....What happen to fishing? I know the drill WASD and the clinical mouse style movement. Will you get to choose either or ? Oops ....Hello Jay .....Just checking back with ya on the updates for New W. I Stopped playing around 1000+ hours ....Loved it till ....well that's how I found you ! The Bow weapon needed a lot of work imop. I am glad to see them working it as well! I have not even seen the mounts yet LOL . Guess I should get busy with gaming ....Thanks again for you content fella!....Hope the little ones are good too! Be safe !
I jumped on the PTR yesterday and thought the freeform movement was amazing. The omnidirectional attacking still needs work though since it seems clunky but that might be due to all the end lag recovery frames on weapon attacks and abilities or the weird tracking/homing weapons do. Basically the combat doesn't flow well at all compared to other 3rd person action games. There are also some weird changes to input que-ing which ends up animation locking the character unintentionally if you spam attacks or other inputs. Which happens easier with slower weapons, especially noticeable with great axe and hammer. Overall these negatives made me pretty disappointed since I've been looking forward to this a lot and been asking for it for almost 2 years now. But now that I know I can carry over the freeform movement and omnidirectional attacks into the live client I'm kinda hyped again. Then we just got to hope they sort out the combat and que issues until it goes live. PLEASE AGS IT NEEDS WORK STILL!
Sad the actual new content for the season is very very light. And you need to create a new character to experience the new main story quest too. I wish they made it available to everyone. The whole thing. On the other hand the changes to movement and combat show they still have plans for the game and are looking forward to much more with it, which is a good thing.
@@trutoyrslf you can’t. They made it so you can only play the remade story or those two maps. When you have to move to everfall after those it ends if you already finished the old story
I don't understand their way of thinking with taking a 2second invulnerability "safety net" and making it 1 second. To me that takes something that's possibly good in a niche circumstance or hmm build option like a healer let's say or a tank maybe, and then making it a very limited niche option. If You're stunned and in fire for example and you drop, become invulnerable for 1 second.. well guess what, you're still screwed if you're in that fire with pots on cooldown. (1 example from the top of my head) If it was 3 seconds down to 2 that would make a bit more sense.
@@Google_Censored_Commenter Then why give the option to become invulnerable in the first place, seems extremely stupid. It's like saying to a child "Would you like some chocolate? But you can only have half because we don't want you to get full"
@@K1Crawford the point of the perk is not to become invulnerable, it is to defy death. It basically lets you take one more hit. Which is great if it's something like an m3 boss with oneshot mechanics. less great if it's a firestaff user applying 10 dots to you.
@@Google_Censored_Commenter Don't get me wrong, i understand the implication and use of the item during a PvE scenario, which is where my line of thought was from the start. However, becoming invulnerable/defying death is essentially the same thing and 1 second makes the artifact perk become too much of a gimmick in my opinion. It won't save you if you're staggered, stun locked, surrounded by mechanics, stamina down, potions on cool-down etc etc. being able to have 2-3 seconds allows the player to recover by positioning themselves better. If they're concern was straight up surviving everything and getting healed right back to full hp then how hard is it to make the perk say "When health drops to 0, you instead revive to X amount, become Invulnerable for 2 seconds and all sources of healing is reduced by 50%". The point I'm making is the idea was in the right direction but they still under delivered
what the aim assist does is it changes the trajectory of your shot. So if your cursor is to the right of an enemy, the projectile will fly slightly to the left to hit them. And depending on how advanced the aim assist is, it might do movement prediction too, where it will shoot ahead of a moving target for you. Not super relevant for PvE in New World, but yeah.
The free movement feature is really unnecessary. This will also make ranged even more difficult to catch. Idk, not really thrilled about this. AGS needs to still fix the "dolphin " slides and animation cancels. Fix what they have before they implement more stuff to break.
The combat rework is really REALLY bad, especially for melee players. The queue time for abilities/weapon swaps/dodges has been decreased so you can no longer do most abilities followed by a quick weapon swap and dodge. Dot's stagger you, shirking skills don't proc unless somedthing is attacking you directly in front, weapon swaps are highly unresponsive and if you are attacked by anything, the weapon swap gets cancelled meaning you can be stuck for seconds on end not being able to swap weapons. Hit boxes are getting stuck, and lots of melee attacks are slower than before (specifically the faster ones like hatchet, rapier). There's also crazy amounts of desync with certain abilities as well. It's a complete disaster for combat.
We are entering into clickbait territory i guess. Oh well. Anyway, all these changes are made to make sure controllers works well within the game environnement. And no one asked for controler support to begin with. 😂 At any rate, nothing new pvp for a few months
A LOT people did... From day 1... I did not, but a lot of people did. So absurd, that the Community always forget what they wished for... Same with mounts: A ton of people cried for it. We get it: "Noone asked for it"; "Too late, makes no Sense anymore"; "Would have prefered content"... Its so absurd 😂
@@Acanis87 I dont know about you, but i was active in the top pvp companies on my servers for at least a year and a half, and in EU NONE OF THEM ASKED FOR THIS. All we were asking for is PVP content and we still dont have that. Maybe the casuals thought that, but i was invested in this game so i didnt talk to them, obviously. But for the players invested in PVP at least, no one asked for this EVER.
hello jay, just a heads up, i heard some german streamer with a tophat say that he is gonna report you for exploiting on live servers, the movement thing is not supposed to be in the live version of the game. good luck, hope you can appeal your perma.
9:15 that's your aim assist. And by the looks of it, it is very strong. You should see it in a duel how it feels, but compared to what we have right now, all manual. This feels too strong. You are stopping right on the target which for 99% of the players is not an easy task. But if it works the same on mnk by looks of it, then there's literally no difference.
It's absolutely game changing. They broke keypad support such as Razer Tartarus. I play all games using one and cannot play on a keyboard. Anyone else with assistive devices are likely going to face similar problems.
All aim assist does in any game is slow the reticule down over the target ever so slightly to help you hit your target. It never pulls your aim to a target.
that is not true, aim assist implementation varies wildly between games. I know of several where once your aim is on a target, it will magnetize to stick to it with some force.
Alright I leave it to you to keep track of the word "HUGE" while I keep track of the word "EXCITED" in all these dev update and influencers' video. I think I need a count clicker to help me keep track of the number of word "EXCITED" they spam in their videos.
“It is what it is “ is what I got from this .
Love the videos !
This is the most informative video regarding the directional change. Thank you.
That freemovement means I get free backstab dmg. Super excited to crush noobs who use that.
I was just about to say that lol
yes, I was thinking same... I back peddle all the time to not be a automatic crit. its a change needed for controller I think and they have extended it m&k users... I can't imagine I will be using it though.
Ill never use that feature just b/c of that.
My thoughts exactly.
Plus, in my case, that's the same movement style from Elden Ring. I freakin hate it so much because i just cant freakin adapt to it, so i cant proper enjoy that awesome game.
It feels very backwards to me. That's topdown ARPG movement adaptation to me, that, regarding New World, i think it spoils most of that uniqueness/imerssion the original combat style has.
Got a gut feeling that backstab dmg is gonna be nerfed soon. Else console players gonna cry foul and they cannot sell their console version.

If you're moving backwards but fire an attack it will still go to your crosshairs right?
I'm looking forward to trying out the controller for farming. It seems like it'll be nice and chill for logging or similar.
It was already super smooth on steam deck so I imagine it’s just going To be even better.

I like the first change with movement. I’m always running my timid ass away in OPR lol. This will make it easier to evade
No one is talking about the possibility of pvp zone !?!? New pvp content man! Thats all we’ve been waiting for!!

Did they fixed the part of combat that prevented two players to have a hex gem at the same time? or more than one rapier for the bleed?
Spot the non-PvPer - You cant move backwards. Ah yes the backpaddle enjoyer xD Great video
the lock on would be so good for healers, locking onto teammates and scroll wheel to switch to different ones.
This has been in game for years. Wdym

nice content but on SA OPR holds a lot of players....WE NEED ANOTHER OPR MAP!!!!!!!
