State of New World | Dev QA Update

- Its been a minute but I thought I'd share my thoughts on the game and the direction it is heading. The game is definitely stale, but the fundamentals that have always lead to new world popular remain, the question is can AGS capitalize this time?

The dude literally said no new OPR map with such confidence. We are so fucked.
They are so sick of hearing feedback from the second class citizens(pvp players), don't you know this game is made for PVE players?
@@thezikazpeople keep saying that but I'm seeing the opposite lol this game will die I devs keep that mindset. Wonder what the stats were after the majority left, bet more pvpers left than pvers
@@thezikaz It's insane to me that anyone believes this shit. I refuse to believe anyone actually thinks that the current pve system has any replay-ability in contrast to the pvp content. Think about how terribly they have botched the implementation of territory control and theres still been a very dedicated community for wars that have stuck around for many thousands of hours through thick and thin. That community would be SO MUCH bigger than the pve community if they actually fixed the territory control system (practice wars, territory limits, etc).
A PvE player gets every update tailored to them and yet... where are they??? Almost like 99% of PvE players are the casuals of the game and we shouldn't be focusing on ONLY them if we want a legitimate late game, things to invest time into, and a healthy lifespan for this game.
I have no hatred towards PvE players, but to sit here and insinuate that PvP players should just be stuck in years of content draught while PvE players suck up 3-6 months of development time to make dungeons that become boring after 2 days is insane. Both should be prioritized, but so far one has been fully neglected.
@@bigmacnw Exactly my guy. I cannot grasp how utterly tone deaf these devs are we have given them the same feedback over and over again but they just do not hear it, like selective deafness. Almost like they were told not to invest into pvp or you will get fired type conspiracy shit. The only other explanation is they accidentally made amazing combat while also being completely incompetent.
The players who only PVE do not stick around as long as the players who also PVP. Pretty quickly you run out of rewarding PVE content and the only thing left is to test your gear and knowledge against other players. PVP has always been the true endgame and if you are exclusively PVE in New World im sorry but there are much better games.
As someone who has accumulated an extremely unhealthy amount of hours in New World since the Alpha and finally stopped giving these devs the benefit of the doubt at the end of last year, it's insane to me that there are still people out there coping that one day New World will be as good as it should've been years ago. They lost every little bit of trust even more hardcore players like myself had in the game by repeatedly failing at delivering meaningful content and not showing the slightest bit of urgency when applying fixes to the game.
There is 0 endgame, 0 indication of them heading in a good direction, and the worst part is that they're still convinced people are playing New World for their laughably bad PvE content. The fact that they're not even working on a new OPR map after over 3 years of people asking for one constantly, (which let's be honest, would be insanely easy to implement) shows that they don't give two fucks about what their community wants. It's sad to see how these devs ran the vast potential that the game had into the ground, but it seems inevitable at this point that New World won't be able to recover from this.
They have no design/game direction. Its totally evident with the content they work on. They spend mass amounts of time only to effectively scrap entire concepts.
Ex: Cross Server functionality, only to merge servers together. Making the Worm raid and then not even upgrading it with the new content, rendering it useless.
The only thing that is happening in June is an announcement.
They're not reading the room
Crazy that there are people still playing
I'm a BIG PVE nerd, that begin said i kinda worry they say " PPL pve mostly" when they are only doing it for coin/gear and want to gtfo out of it.
Is it a chore or fun is the question that needs to be asked. Feels like a chore to me atm, with a small exception for speed runs.
That funeral was for NW.
Catering for PvE New World players is like trying to feed a bunch of brain rotted seagulls - they eat any garbage you feed them as fast as possible and then piss off when there’s nothing left
That’s what it feels like to me but if they buy the dlc from an ags perspective it doesn’t matter :/
Thats actualy a good comparaison, i will use it
@@mecr0w Thats exactly it. They literally do not care as long as they can keep getting people to buy enough season passes.
They should fully commit to PvP content. There are so many superior options for PvE experience, that are far more established....the PvE players exhaust the content of NW in a week and go right back to their footholds otherwise..... where as PvP MMO market is at such a low point it gives NW opportunity to fill a much needed void and offer something that is of scarce supply as to retain a more healthily sustained base
Although they turned down daggers FASTER than a new OPR map so there still might be some hope right before they shut the servers down for good
The titles notification should just be made as an option in your own settings
"New World was like an airplane designed for an exhilarating journey, promising its passengers an unforgettable ride. However, despite its initial promise, it became apparent that the plane lacked essential systems to sustain flight and safely reach its advertised destinations. As the plane soared with its passengers on board, the impending disaster loomed, for repairing such critical flaws mid-flight seemed nearly impossible.
Faced with the imminent danger, the crew made a desperate decision: to transform the failing aircraft into a makeshift boat, hoping to avert catastrophe by landing it in the sea. Yet, this solution merely postponed the inevitable; it was not an escape but rather a last-ditch effort at damage control. In reality, the true solution lay in promptly landing the plane and addressing its issues head-on. For those of us eagerly aboard the journey promised by this survival PvP-oriented game, it's a frustrating realization that we're stuck in a situation where the game we boarded is on a death-spire."
Really glad you brought up the bow "fix" which actually just reintroduced almost the exact same bug that is so painfully easy to reproduce and cause by accident I am convinced that whatever developer/QA people worked on it are interns. Makes no sense to me.
Yea I don’t understand how that was so poorly addressed
need pvp content like last year
Yea they don’t really look at data in context imo and it’s a common flaw of data analytics
I didn't play season 4 and it looks like I won't be returning in season 5
I saw the video already, but can we agree these guys could fix many things in term of balance changes without needing content? amirite?
Looks like AGS is greasing the wheel for another cash grab, looking for more young gullible console customers. Unfortunately for them, the word has spread about the state of the game and it's terrible development team. I'm not sure a 3 year old MMO on it's way out the door, that is currently being used as a testing ground for LoTR, is going to be the honey pot that AGS is looking for. The population is about to hit 8k average players with nearly 10% that are constantly logged on the character screen and not actually in game. NWDB INFO.
Didn't the one in the middle ask what the max level was in the last dev video? They are at a conference while the game is in death mode? Wait, let me click f2 for these title bugs. Crazy. Long term health of the game?
🤷♂️
Here's the funny part, "THE POWER OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK TO CREATE BETTER GAMES (PRESENTED BY AMAZON GAMES)
Sponsor Speakers: Scot Lane, Brian Willitts, Michael Lovan, Katy Kaszynski, Scott Geiser"
no pay more attention to
@@gamezonereactions8388 THERES NO SHOT THATS REAL
In june another expansion will come and it not will be free of course.This is a seasonal game, one expansion each year and u have to pay for it. The problem is the expansion will be a new territory (maybe they just rework cutlass keys or weavers fen so poor xd) with pvp on it and thats all folks give me your money 5 hours content. Lets wait for another year.
I’m still rooting for this game. What I need are reasons to log in. In other words, content along with a thriving market. Right now, those are missing/severely lacking.
Yea that’s the renewable content we try to mention. PvP by definition always is shifting in some way, but PvE for the most part has to be manually updated. The mutations don’t introduce any “wowing” components either. Helldivers for example introduced a meteor shower effect that’s super cool and changes how you have to play significantly.
As long as ags copes about PVE being the main focus of the game, nothing will come out of it
It's actually so out of touch you have to wonder what kind of alternate reality they are imagining.
that was the thing that really pissed me off the most like yeah ofc its pve based now that you ahve realeased only pve brain dead content for the past 2 years and all the pvp players already left
You guys realize they have the internal data and PvE absolutely is the majority of their playerbase? And this has only become even more PvE focused over time as people keep being "locked out" of war content because wars are just alts of the other war companies.
"They have internal data" blah blah. Reference something thats actually real instead of appealing so some alleged number. You know whats a real number? 8k Concurrent players. The proof is in the pudding my guy the only players that are left are either too invested in war and pvp or are (in the nicest way possible) noobish pve players.
@@Kanriel Also your "we run this server" clip on yt is hilarious lol you're wearing bugged onyx and resil gear and talkin smack as a heavy hammer healer. go touch grass.
If they fix the title bug I will take the biggest hit of copium.
It is a bummer, things work well but they can't seem to get a complete package that will sustain a higher player population. I do see new players but those who have played a lot are clearly not playing much (or at all) as they wait on new anything. I personally think they are spending a lot of time/effort trying to make it work on a console (which will take a lot). They should re-tool races a little to encourage and reward pvp battles, that would be easy. PvP needs some new content for sure, and I don't get why not since it isn't that hard to make a new OPR map. Something simple like WoW's AB would be welcomed and so easy to do. Plus why not bump up arena some? Really so much to say on it all but most has been said before.
The sad thing about all mmo for pvp players is this number only 10% of gamers play MMO and of that 10% only 1% are hardcore pvp players even wow had less then 1% pvp worlds you can be mad and stomp your feet as a pvp hardcore player but it doesn’t change that number
The revelation they aren't working on a new OPR map is beyond depressing. We have needed one for years. I'm losing hope.
Every PvPer is OK with doing a bit of PvE, we don't want to do PvE on repeat, but are cool with doing 1-2 runs of something.
I don't think we are the target audience anymore.
This game needs bdo type (time wise) gear progression and a system to get you coming back everyday for an hour or two of active play to get materials to progress imo. When gearing up to bis gear takes month at most the game will be playable for month and a half then its gonna get stale and boring
This game really makes me realize how good we have it on BDO
Yea might try BDO I haven’t b4
If no major PvP content comes game is done imo
they brought the right guy just to show there is atleast 1 developer XD
The police came to arrest the devs for the criminal act they committed on this game.
i lost all hope in this game, 2000 hrs of fun and rage
but i dont think they will fix all the problems this game has, first i will not come back if they dont fix the optimization, it has gone worse every patch for no reason, in brimstone i could play wars and open world pvp in heliopolis with 30 fps stable, but now i cant play either bc my pc simply crash (i had an hdd back in brimstone update, and now i have an m2 ssd and it somehow got worse????)
and they dont give a F about pvp, that boils my blood so much
The not caring about pvp I think will be the last straw for a lot of people ngl
Imagine thinking you can get a bunch of people who have zero experience in the MMO genre and pull off one of the hardest feats in the gaming industry.
first
NOOOOOO
Lmfao
Give us practice and/or queueable wars.
no queueable wars. scheduleable wars yes.
@@Matthew.10g Some sort of scheduleable wars so companies can practice and scrimmage against each other without territory changing hands, So maybe one they can actually give Supple or Dropouts or Heaters a real fight.
They scrap gear score agian they might as well shut down the server no one gonna wanna regrind gear for no purpose other than to just reset content that we already have all i do in new world now is war log and opr i use to run dungeons for 2 years stright and now its not worth anymore cause they gutted the drops and azoth inductors exist. Also you get banned for selling runs so i mean the economy is fucked and pvp is non existent in there minds.
They got kicked out from the offices? Ahaha
Time to move on. They can’t wait for the game to die.
no one cares about ashes of creation alpha. youre WAYYY overhyping that lol
This is so sad man, such an amazing game with trash devs... They are cool ppl with trash decisions.
dead
Such clueless devs
Do people actually still play this game? It's dead asf lol
Yea. I still war log for the most part but have been playing a lot of other games recently.
The only thing coming in June is console release to try and milk more money. Game is dead.
Amazon should stick to delivery packages. Because their entertainment is chalk full of bugs, poor decisions and delays. Let's not even talk about Rings of Power.
