Agreed, I'm on Maramma in our groups were getting teleported back to the city because of the density of players. I hope they can get that straighten out because that makes it hard to plan out attacks and defenses if you have people getting teleported randomly
well increasing the server pop might not help this.. but idk how they will optimize it for when there's TONs of players on the screen... @@edellenburg78
@@alexdita4006how is that embarrassing for an mmo? 😂 mmos are typically harder to run and more cpu intensive. Get a decent midrange cpu and you'll have no issues
I'm loving the update, despite its flaws, and I'm hoping that this will launch on on a good trajectory in the comming months as we look towards continued updates and improvements, which the NW dev team has proven they can and will do.
They patched it twice during primetime hours in less than a week...they have only proven that they can AND WILL fumble every update if given the chance
@@natehiggers42069Lmao only 1 was during prime time, the other wasn't. They released it during "prime time" (literally only for the US btw) as they were important bug fixes. Crying because of that is insane but to each their own
I wish they would just get rid of the third faction and only have two. Basically every server is 2 factions fighting for control while the third is basically dead, or one faction overwhelms the other two because the other two are evenly split between themselves. It seems much harder to balance faction numbers with 3 but if they could find a way to do it that’d be cool. Currently my server has purple with overwhelming numbers while yellow controls the second most zones but has the lowest numbers because it’s controlled by one guild that basically just war logs so you hardly see any in the world. Meanwhile there’s a decent amount of green but they are unorganized and have only managed to control 1 zone. Maybe lowering the time on faction swap could help with this? Having to wait so long to swap is a bummer if trying to get a large amount of people to swap to the dead faction.
My frustration is they claimed this expansion was going to make good gear easier to get into. Before it was 2 m10 golds to fully upgrade 1 named item. Now its 7 m3 golds and 3 days worth of cooldowns. None of the gear has seemed easier to aquire. I just have a bunch of unuseable named items at 620-640 GS that doesnt help me get into m3 runs at all.
they should 100% give a free xfer token to those big servers. I wash forced on Maramma due to a merger from Orafina a few months back. I don’t mind the queue too much because I just go do my morning chores before playing but it really sucks when the game kicks me and I’m back to another 3k queue after doing a 1500-2000 queue earlier.
Fresh start was a good idea, but I'm glad they didn't do it again. As a fresh start player I can say that most people left really quickly after fresh start launch. I think the current approach is the way to go for the long term success.
What looks promising is that there is a far bigger difference between peak hours and off hours (max players and min players "per daycycle"). A big difference (5x compared to 2x in the past) *COULD* mean there is less botting going on. PS I still have to get my mind around paying for this expansion so I am a bit sceptical but I love the way you bring the content in your channel! Also, I noticed that some lag is now caused by server side lag, which probably indicates they clearly did a lot of work of the underlaying architecture, which was highly necessary.
I'm not sure the rise in new player numbers is a success, they just haven't reached the non-existent end game yet. As for the old players, they didn't come back, since the numbers are around half of what Brimstone "not an expansion" release. These numbers will again drop off once people realize it's the same game different. Asmongold doesn't even play anymore after his paid appearance.
Yes I’m a very casual player who happened to get bounced to maramma in all the mergers. Paid for game but at the limited time I have to play queue too long. Haven’t been able to get in once.
Was a bit sad it had to have a 2 year open beta until it was finally ready but if the game had launched in this state (barring the bugs which has been frustrating as ever), but the game hopefully maintains this momentum and doesn’t due off as fast as it did after the fresh start which only lasted like 2 months before it died off.
I like all the new changes so far. I think it’s much more casual friendly. The soul trial solo fights are fun imo. Only thing that annoys me is that they did not properly test the msq and am stuck the second time now within 1 week (still run around with t3 azoth staff.. with lvl 65)
tbh I read the numbers differently. The previous brimstone release I don't remember having the big streaming marketing push, from memory they saved that for fresh start. So when comparing 'returning' numbers you should compare 'fresh start' numbers to current numbers as a true comparison of how much interest the marketing has generated. It would seem that players are less interested in returning for this expansion than they were for new servers (likely due to the paywall and not wanting to give them a 3rd chance). Until they implement a free server swapping system (think 'runescape' servers) or a multiserver type system they will continue to suffer from this problem as players who want to give the game a new chance will be almost instantly put off by a huge queue not wanting to 'start' on a dead in 2 weeks server.
10:45 I reported this both on the Discord and using the in game menu :') but yeah they did say not all bugs reported would be fixed for the launch sadly
Yesterday the server where I am playing on crashed because of the rapier farming and the servers now lag even more only because they increased the capacity.
I'm liking the content, a lot more people playing, the main quest is really cool and the changes to trade skills are really good Have just a HUGE problem, I can't play most of the time, I keep crashing while trying to log into the game and after leaving an expedition. I'm still hyped and want to play, but they are not letting me do so :')
yoooo same! I have a hell of a time logging in, and crash after every expedition. My GPU can basically nap while running it, but since the last few updates, my CPU is struggling big time.
My biggest gripe is the way materials are refined. Needing the low level items indeed keeps them relevant but it feels so bad to need all the lower level items in mass to make the higher level items.
it's a great update and all, but the fatigue will taken over really quick. why ? - Elysian Wilds is 3 hours content at most. - mount quest (repeatable) is fun, until u finished it, u wouldn't bother redoing it because there's no competition or records to further your "fun", now u just have mount with the fastest speed, that's it. - Artifacts are a great idea, until u realize some of them are straight up killing machine, like Serenity GS and The Abbys GA, while the other works as situational weapons and gears, which is amazing, so just wait until they nerfed those 2 weapons because of now u dont need GA and GS drops anymore if u had the artifacts. - older expeditions are..... old. u get into those because of an artifact or something new, but definitely not older named gears because they're stuck at 625 which is now *useless*. - PVP is amazing, and PVP players will stick much longer (if u had The Abbys or Serenity) because of this expansion, but not PvE players. - progression is harder if you're solo, yes it was hard enough with umbrals back then, but now you gotta be very lucky to get that 695+ from elite chest run, because u can't get that max gears from spam killing a miniboss under 100k hp anymore, they dropped gears sure, but not best ones and definitely not new named. regular expeditions dropping 695+ is fixed, so if you only able to play now, you're fckd. u get 675 max, that's not max gears and that's not legendary named (675-700). if u somehow spammed regular expeditions before they fix it, u probably already had 695+ average to do M3, congrats, but remember, not many as lucky as you, so you will find it difficult to recruit M3 runs players because they're still stuck under 675 and most of them probably quitting before they reach M3 able. 5 days on, New World is averaging 75k players, that's below expectations, and from what I've seen and felt so far, it wouldn't last long. is $30 expansion worth it ? *YES* and if u somehow reached fatigue quickly like me, u can still comeback later for another updates, so stop whining about game didn't keep giving u free updates after 2 years running.
purely depends on the player, if you were affected by queue times, disconnects (which are nothing to do with your isp) crafting issues, quest issues, faction issues, influence teleports and you've been trying to get all this done for 7 days.......... success isnt the word i would care to use
I hope they add some kind of queued up instanced PvE mode like outpost rush but PvE. Like maybe similar to invasions but much smaller/shorter and with no impact on the actual map.
Jay I love your vids, and your Twitches are funny as fuck!!! Thx man! Thx for letting me post these on my discord the guys love em! Your hard work is greatly appreciated. FYI I lost 28 people to other servers. It is killing my company numbers.
The expansion is good and puts the game in a very good place in terms of systems. Now it's time for content. The road map will be big. The expansion was make or break and I think they got it more or less right. Here's to hoping they continue going down the right path and give us an amazing roadmap - preferably soon before the expansion hype dies down.
I have to imagine the success form the expansion has them thinking there is a lot more long term life left in the game. We are finally at the point where even with no more updates ever the game is good enough. Pretty crazy to think about
Great video I have enjoyed the content and now it’s just the gear grind which is good but yes hopefully there will be a raid and new battle ground open world pvp is what you make of it and can be very good if you’re not avoiding the conflict and trying to back cap capture points
They need to increase for the influence race towers how many it takes of people nearby before it teleports you away, it's very annoying trying to get back into the fight
i do not mind about paying for token to transfer to other low pop server but i have not done that because i wont be able to take all the gold i have made
I'm hoping they do something to fix the season pass tbh.. I havnt been able to use it since launch. And I bought the boosted as well, and never got it.
You know, my message to those players who've managed to acquire all the gear and exploit bugs for an advantage is simple: they might find themselves getting bored pretty quickly. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still in the process of gearing up and genuinely enjoying the game. Let's focus on the fun and fair play, it's what keeps the experience exciting for everyone!
Hello, You have only 2 gear sets for free. You can buy more, for 5k "Marks of Fortune" EACH. 5k cost 5€ (or less, if you buy more). I think there is a limit of gear sets. Maybe 10? 5€ each gear set, is garbage (way too much)... imo.
Season pass gives you marks of fortune which u can turn in for a gear set or two but not enough. Its a bit sad that you have to pay for extra gear set slots but at least the game isnt pay to play subscription based
@Ultrajamz yeah i know your not wrong. But at the end of the day, the game isnt subscription based and you can grind it out with clever strategies. In games like wow or runescape you would get these sort of features for free, like transmog in wow. But you have to pay a subscription to play the game in the first place. Does that make sense? I think New World is amazing value for pay, the only people who complain about the paywalls in New World are the the returning players who quit a while ago. The major thing I dislike is Artefacts being on the season pass. Thats really bad and I really hope that you can still get it if you miss it that season...
The numbers shown on steamcharts is the amount of people that have nw.exe running on Steam, not the amount of people that are actually ingame. So people in Q are included already
Loving the expansion hating the game crashes and 2-3k queues. I have 2 transfer tokens and am really tempted to bounce of Maramma but you have to empty out and sell all houses. Then buy news ones in new sever and put all the crap back in. I dont understand why its like thism AGS has merged me into a new server 3x and the housing stuff isnt required. Maybe in a month the numbers will be back down to server norms.
If I could stop getting teleported out of the new influence race content that’d be great too! Also, I’m not sure they thought much about if one faction has 3x as many players how one sided that makes the races. Purple in my server can show up and fight green and yellow at once and have people left over.
I think that’s supposed to be the purpose of the teleporting mechanic. To make it so that one faction can’t just have infinite numbers in a fight compared to other factions. Unfortunately this doesn’t stop them from being able to spread out and play multiple points on the map.
Great update and I'm having fun. I do think the gameplay loop is a little underbaked though. I think M3 dungeons need to have exclusive gear that you can only get from those dungeons. With dungeons you basically are just gearing to do the same thing on a harder difficulty. There isn't really an incentive to do it which then makes gear score feel a little pointless because why am i even gearing for then. Now PvP in this game is atrocious. I know there are PvP lovers, but it is absolutely horrible in this game and it's mainly because of how unpolished it is with the desync, hit detection, rubberbanding and just overall clunkiness of fights. Sometimes I get into fights that feel smooth and that's when it's fun, but I don't ever see PvP being a highlight of this game. Gathering and crafting are great although I do think crafting is far too grindy. The average player will most likely not craft 700gs items since it takes so much time to get to that point. I just think there needs to be a reason to hit 700gs. Overall, its a great update and huge step in the right direction especially with the mounts which I think they nailed.
they really need to upgrade or change their servers, IK devs always say its fine but cmon if you play this game you know it aint fine. So much rubberbanding that happens
Don’t trivialize Brimstone. It was NOT “a free patch.” It was a free expansion that they called an “update” so people wouldn’t think that all expansions would be free.
No other AAA MMO would ever dare call such a small amount of content an "expansion" it's laughable at best. Warcraft has 2-3 content patches during every expansion that are much larger in every way, story, size and scale, changes. Yeah, wow has a sub, but nw season pass is just a cheaper version of a sub now and everyday more and more QOL is being put behind a paywall.
Biggest issue with the changes made after 4 days was because they only "tested" this crap on PTR for a short time. There was WAY too much added to be tested in such a short time IMO.
The fact that most of pve consist in bus of 30 people killing things in less than 10 sec and running in circle just show how dev don't understand fun in pve. To be good we need real raids and more donjon where you can have fun by having a real challenge and a real role
Game is great and i've been having fun playing it but ever since the update i've been getting freezes and crashes so it's not very enjoyable sometimes.
Who cares about the Marauders?! That almost hurt... If the faction enclaves actually become a thing, I'm jumping ship to Syndicate. Very cool place and the Marauders is like a stack of pallets. Haha
even all the named item no option to upgrade. lifering all items are available to upgrade but not the amulet. some of the named item from dung also not available to upgrade.. also chromatic seals too expensive.
Part of new worlds charm has always been that it is a janky, bugged, never sure what's going to catch fire next or what the next hot fix is going to break sort of game You are just along for the ride. it's a unique charm to the game, plus overall, the game has gotten a lot better. I played 2000 hours from Launch until Lost Ark came out and jumped ship, coming back and starting fresh today has been an honest amazingly fun experience. Who cares if I can't do half the MSQs because my Azoth staff is bugged 😆
so many freaking bugs man... queue times are crazy.. i was forced out of my server and lost my company and all my 3+ million gold... the end game content is still the same.
why is no one talking about how bad this release was>> the crashes the dc the bugs the exploits, game is in a near unpliable state. cant even do open world pvp with out getting tped to the town every 5 seconds. why is no one talking about how bad they did here????
They didnt give a free server transfer. Its absurd that i paid for the expansion and i cant play the game AND they wont give me a free transfer. So just to be clear i paid for the update and in order to play said update i have to give them more money or wait literally 3 hours everytime i log in or crash. The criticism they are receiving is entirely justified. Especially considering these were issues the game had day 1.
idk.. overall the changes are probably for the better but i have 3 chars.. the 'work' ahead is too much.. the seasonal gifted artifacts cannot be used by all my chars.. so with 2 being on the list i cannot use them properly.. my chars seem to have a huge disadvantage bcos of this.. the light boots & earring can be used by most chars.. the medium bits u get from quests are not popular sets.. its infuriating. All my chars will miss out on early good gear & have to rely on Rng for every item. Crafting has become too much, it was already hard work now its even longer plus massive costs .. i wasnt max gear or craft levels before the changes & now im running about in blue or purple perkless rubbish like im L30 again & dont even feel comfy enough to sign up for invasions nvm any other content. ive not enjoyed the past week much at all, its felt like a huge job not a game :)
If only they could fix the tons of bugs. im playing since a week not even and there are still mainquest bugs where i cant enter a cave or even sidequests where my progress doesnt count. core game is decently good but everything else. and im not even talking about the server queues since 2 years sa,e garbage..
pve in the NewWorld dosent exists without the pvp and the other way round, thing is with NewWorld while in pvp or in any other pvp activity it is realy hard to enjoy the content due to some sort of desynchronisation other then that i would say game is great, dlc looks supreme and it looks like from now on NewWorld will noly go up forward but it isnt for me.
ye işt became pay to win now. if i wont spend "elden ring game price" on crap expansion my chars are nothing. they wll stay 60, craft skills stay 200 and i wont get mount. HEY GUYS ITS PAY TO WIN NOW. WHO CAN SAY NEXT YEAR THERE WONT BE NEW PATCH FOR ANOTHER GAME PRICE? man its unbeliveable, my all efforts, sets, everthing means nothing now.
Sorry to be THAT guy but this game studio can’t even add LFG for dungeons no one can even complete dungeons and that’s a huge flaw. This number will not stick around unless they implement a subscription service this game is as good as dead
Lol removed ward and replaced it with conditioning, exactly the same but with a different name and ppl like it. Says a lot about your complaints in other videos....
Honestly, I hate this kind of progression in MMO's. It's the typical stupid hamster wheel where you gear is all worthless a few months later and you have to grind all new gear all over again. It's a pain in the ass and I wish they would go to a more horizontal gearing approach like Guild Wars 2 and ESO.
4 hours farming the same stupid monster for an item you probably won’t use much!? Those are baby numbers bruh, I take it you’ve never tried to farm harbinger in the mines huh?😂
I do not think its been a success at all. 1st, i watched your stream for all of those drops... claimed them all, yet have not received them in game. But I could be wrong since I cant even log into the servers due to having a real job and no time to wait until 1am to play. I will just come back in a couple months when all the returning asshats leave again, once they realize its the same crap all over. I havent even been able to log in enough to hit level cap and thats fine, im not in a rush but it would be nice to play the game I paid for. I would totally take the free xfer.. I got slammed into mara with all the server merges over the years and I do not want to live on that server... please give me a free xfer and ill take it. and dont get me started on the progression thing.. nerfing things already like they did before to those who havent been able to play puts people behind - Very poor take , if you go watch your own video, it would seem that its mostly negatives.... bad bad clickbait
Wait untill payed streamers stop playing the game. Game are the same mess but now with extra layers of ™pay to play™. Performance are bad, perks are not reworked enough again, weapon trees should been reworked before realising expansion. Only good change are addition of artefacts.
Success ? still way to easy to get bis ore close to bis you already now see how people in eu only loging in for cds and log out the q if you end up in one you can see how fast it goes down comapred to start ore just a few days ago this new rng artifact and bis shase is what 30-100 hours tops and it´s over same goes for crafting and cds around it nysa had the bigggest eu serv had only 4 hours full serv yesterday all other serv have 10 min q this is far from Success sadly. I did take 3 days break back to day playing got a dc after few hours and you log in to another game they still struggle with serv and balancing the few times we have fun is when we have many player at same place ore zone but then you get stuck ore dc ore teleported out and that have been the case from day one they start adding to serv cap now 3k wtf
saying we passed brimstone is very misleading and inaccurate. the reason they only got 69k was cuz people wanted to play the new expansion with the freshstart servers. if freshstart was never released. that 69k wouldve been a lot higher. much migher than 77k. so brimstone did in fact get a bigger bump compared to the expansion
I logged in to buy expansion after a long break 1.3 years or so, I found my old company deleted with 800K coin gone. I found 2 of my lvl 60 toons without a server, I was told to pick a server from 2 options at launch. After one evening levelling on my mage I logged my melee toon and wanted to select the same server as my mage. NOPE I was given 2 low pop servers to pick from forcing me to divide up 2 toons with tons of materials and coin. I can tell you in 22 years of PC gaming I've never had a gaming company treat me with such nothingness. You don't exist to them, you don't matter to them. The lesson to be learnt here is not to play Amazon games in the future.
new world is a good game the issue i have with the game is that is a very casual game meaning the content itself is too easy, there is no fun in clearing a dungeon when the content is pretty much handed to you. the enjoyment ride for the game reaches 0 once you understand that the game is not gonna get any harder than what it is, is a semi loot game for casual gamers that want the MMO experience but none of the challenge. while the PVP is fun for a while the changes ultimately made to many weapons and overall feel and fluidity has change from what it was before be it to make it easier for casual it made it to easy that there is also no point in playing it this is coming from someone that played what i consider the best PVP game of all time called Gunz the Duel. i may come back one day when the content for the dungeons starts adding decent mechanics to their dungeons instead of just dmg increase and dmg soaking for enemies, New WOrld can learn a thing or two from Lost Ark raids/Dungeons.
I got news for you, most MMOs are made for casuals. Everything doesnt need to be the last 3-4 bosses in a mythic raid on wow or a +28. Having fun, getting good gear and socializing is what MMOs were really made for, not to say they cant have hard content. Its not made for maxing out ur character in a week and then calling it a bad game because you cant control yourself. If you want more fun and challenge then run off meta builds, try something new, dont expect a youtuber to give you all your builds. And if it doesnt work out, but had some laughs with friends then you know what you won in gaming and then you can go back to META builds with no shame. At the end of the day, If you rely on yourself to have fun you will never run out of it. This is what people are missing from gaming nowadays, but instead they wanna snort new content like its a line of coke and move on to the next with the same negative energy.
@@BundyBro_ Most MMO players are casuals sure, but you can't tell me adding difficult content wouldn't draw in more players which would just be better for the game. I mean if you look at retail, classic wow, ff14, Lost Ark these games aren't nearly as casual as New World is so there clearly is a line, fucking Molten Core in classic is more difficult than NW's newest dungeon on M3 or the sandworm raid so you don't even have to look at retail fucking classic wow. You make the point MMOs are made for socializing, but New World doesn't even have social aspects. Unless you count "socializing" as typing in chat +myrk and running around looting chests :DDD. You also say "if you want to have more fun then run off meta builds" running an off meta build wouldn't change his experience in dungeons now would it when he's saying there are 0 mechanics. When you think about the PvE experience in NW its just 4 melees smashing mouse1 on the boss while the healer dumps all the AoE heals on them. This must be the most boring PvE experience I've ever encountered in any MMO, but if you enjoy it good for you there's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect most people to like eating shit. Sometimes the casual is just too casual and it becomes autopilot garbage.
@@Villuu All the MMOs you mentioned (aside from lost ark, cant comment on it) are social MMOs that happen to have hard content.. Especially FF14 holy shit. Just because it has a single hard mode for 6 months doesnt make it a hardcore MMO. Retail WoW might be the only thing that is in the middle, but in a recent interview Ion, the lead for WoW, said that LFR is the most played mode for raiding. Classic WoW is not hard, i literally fell asleep thru molten core and didnt die. You are on something special. Raiding in WoW didnt even get remotely difficult until Throne of Thunder. One thing you are right about is that the mechanics are not hard in the new dungeon. But should they be extremely hard every dungeon? No one is forcing anyone to play any of these games. The world doesnt cater around your skill level in a video game. If you dont have fun, just move on and wait to see if it swings back in your favor. I dont get why this is a strange concept to people now.. To end it, I do not think adding too much hardcore content will make a game better or even help it. I personally like hard content, but not at the expense of losing an already niche population. If youve already completed the M3s then thats awesome. But there are a ton of people who arent as good as you or me or someone we know. You could always go hardcore AFK in Limsa Lominsa or New Grindania for hours on end, silently, posing in an emote.
@@BundyBro_ Mate did you even read what I put out. I didn't say Molten Core was hard? I said Molten Core is HARDER THAN NW's Newest dungeon and the sandworm raid. My point with that is that Molten Core wasn't hard and it was boring content because it was so easy and you even said it yourself you fell asleep during it. So what does that make new world content like then if its EVEN EASIER? There is a line where casual gameplay is just too casual. Seems like you misunderstood me because you literally agree with me in your reply. Also I never said MMOs shouldn't have casual content. All I said was that if there is ALSO hard content it will just grow the playerbase even more, and that New World's casual gameplay is so casual it makes Molten Core for example look hard compared to the stuff in NW. Try to read what I'm saying instead of attacking me with phrases like "you are something special" when you are literally agreeing with me. Not once did I call any of the MMOs I listed "Hardcore" you are just putting words in my mouth.
Success is a strong word. People go back to the game because they knew it had potential and needed mounts and wanted to see what happened to it. If the game fails again I dont think there will ever be another chance
I am not that positive about the update. I think they are being douchbags not offering free server transfers to people who are on servers with 2000 people queues specially for those who are on merged servers who simply didnt had a choice
I dont really care at this point what have changed , 50 k players concurent player only and 3 hours que without ability to be able to migrate off the fking server ( even by giving them money ) without logging to that server first , what year it is at AGS office 2001? This is just atrocious, back to 20 k concurrent players in a week , hf .
I think the Influence Races are super fun. They're a huge, positive addition to the game that I didn't expect to enjoy so much.
Agreed, I'm on Maramma in our groups were getting teleported back to the city because of the density of players. I hope they can get that straighten out because that makes it hard to plan out attacks and defenses if you have people getting teleported randomly
yeah if you dont get kicked out of the game and have to wait 2 hours to get back in again they are great
well increasing the server pop might not help this.. but idk how they will optimize it for when there's TONs of players on the screen... @@edellenburg78
Wait give us another pvp game mode and people like it????
Super fun game mode when you aren't getting game crashed or teleported out of the zone.......
Game is slowly moving into right direction. Lesson learnt. Now time for raids + new pvp maps/modes and it ll be really good😊
Forget all of that. Give us a somewhat optimized game. Performance is abysmal. Frankly embarrassing for an MMO.
@@alexdita4006you can optimize it, look it up
Agreed. Btw there are raids, there is a 10 man raid, like a gauntlet fight, and a 20 man raid, Worm boss.
One they do that they’ll charge a monthly fee to play
@@alexdita4006how is that embarrassing for an mmo? 😂 mmos are typically harder to run and more cpu intensive. Get a decent midrange cpu and you'll have no issues
I'm loving the update, despite its flaws, and I'm hoping that this will launch on on a good trajectory in the comming months as we look towards continued updates and improvements, which the NW dev team has proven they can and will do.
They patched it twice during primetime hours in less than a week...they have only proven that they can AND WILL fumble every update if given the chance
@@natehiggers42069Lmao only 1 was during prime time, the other wasn't. They released it during "prime time" (literally only for the US btw) as they were important bug fixes. Crying because of that is insane but to each their own
I wish they would just get rid of the third faction and only have two. Basically every server is 2 factions fighting for control while the third is basically dead, or one faction overwhelms the other two because the other two are evenly split between themselves. It seems much harder to balance faction numbers with 3 but if they could find a way to do it that’d be cool. Currently my server has purple with overwhelming numbers while yellow controls the second most zones but has the lowest numbers because it’s controlled by one guild that basically just war logs so you hardly see any in the world. Meanwhile there’s a decent amount of green but they are unorganized and have only managed to control 1 zone. Maybe lowering the time on faction swap could help with this? Having to wait so long to swap is a bummer if trying to get a large amount of people to swap to the dead faction.
My frustration is they claimed this expansion was going to make good gear easier to get into. Before it was 2 m10 golds to fully upgrade 1 named item. Now its 7 m3 golds and 3 days worth of cooldowns. None of the gear has seemed easier to aquire. I just have a bunch of unuseable named items at 620-640 GS that doesnt help me get into m3 runs at all.
Ngl the influence races and the new gearing system are extremely fun. Ags did a good work here. It really feels like new world is finished
they should 100% give a free xfer token to those big servers. I wash forced on Maramma due to a merger from Orafina a few months back. I don’t mind the queue too much because I just go do my morning chores before playing but it really sucks when the game kicks me and I’m back to another 3k queue after doing a 1500-2000 queue earlier.
Fresh start was a good idea, but I'm glad they didn't do it again.
As a fresh start player I can say that most people left really quickly after fresh start launch.
I think the current approach is the way to go for the long term success.
What looks promising is that there is a far bigger difference between peak hours and off hours (max players and min players "per daycycle"). A big difference (5x compared to 2x in the past) *COULD* mean there is less botting going on. PS I still have to get my mind around paying for this expansion so I am a bit sceptical but I love the way you bring the content in your channel! Also, I noticed that some lag is now caused by server side lag, which probably indicates they clearly did a lot of work of the underlaying architecture, which was highly necessary.
I'm not sure the rise in new player numbers is a success, they just haven't reached the non-existent end game yet. As for the old players, they didn't come back, since the numbers are around half of what Brimstone "not an expansion" release. These numbers will again drop off once people realize it's the same game different. Asmongold doesn't even play anymore after his paid appearance.
Yes I’m a very casual player who happened to get bounced to maramma in all the mergers. Paid for game but at the limited time I have to play queue too long. Haven’t been able to get in once.
Was a bit sad it had to have a 2 year open beta until it was finally ready but if the game had launched in this state (barring the bugs which has been frustrating as ever), but the game hopefully maintains this momentum and doesn’t due off as fast as it did after the fresh start which only lasted like 2 months before it died off.
I like all the new changes so far. I think it’s much more casual friendly. The soul trial solo fights are fun imo.
Only thing that annoys me is that they did not properly test the msq and am stuck the second time now within 1 week (still run around with t3 azoth staff.. with lvl 65)
tbh I read the numbers differently. The previous brimstone release I don't remember having the big streaming marketing push, from memory they saved that for fresh start. So when comparing 'returning' numbers you should compare 'fresh start' numbers to current numbers as a true comparison of how much interest the marketing has generated. It would seem that players are less interested in returning for this expansion than they were for new servers (likely due to the paywall and not wanting to give them a 3rd chance).
Until they implement a free server swapping system (think 'runescape' servers) or a multiserver type system they will continue to suffer from this problem as players who want to give the game a new chance will be almost instantly put off by a huge queue not wanting to 'start' on a dead in 2 weeks server.
10:45 I reported this both on the Discord and using the in game menu :') but yeah they did say not all bugs reported would be fixed for the launch sadly
Yesterday the server where I am playing on crashed because of the rapier farming and the servers now lag even more only because they increased the capacity.
I'm liking the content, a lot more people playing, the main quest is really cool and the changes to trade skills are really good
Have just a HUGE problem, I can't play most of the time, I keep crashing while trying to log into the game and after leaving an expedition. I'm still hyped and want to play, but they are not letting me do so :')
Changes to trade skills?
yoooo same! I have a hell of a time logging in, and crash after every expedition. My GPU can basically nap while running it, but since the last few updates, my CPU is struggling big time.
My biggest gripe is the way materials are refined. Needing the low level items indeed keeps them relevant but it feels so bad to need all the lower level items in mass to make the higher level items.
The trick is having your refining gear and buying the tier 1 resource en masse. You make a lot of gold refining if you play the tp
Why does that feel bad exactly? Refining such big numbers of basic mats is imo very satisfying
Ya, I forgot how expensive it can get just leveling 50 for crafting, cripes. The prices are crazy right now. Grind some mats, buy some mats.
it's a great update and all, but the fatigue will taken over really quick.
why ?
- Elysian Wilds is 3 hours content at most.
- mount quest (repeatable) is fun, until u finished it, u wouldn't bother redoing it because there's no competition or records to further your "fun", now u just have mount with the fastest speed, that's it.
- Artifacts are a great idea, until u realize some of them are straight up killing machine, like Serenity GS and The Abbys GA, while the other works as situational weapons and gears, which is amazing, so just wait until they nerfed those 2 weapons because of now u dont need GA and GS drops anymore if u had the artifacts.
- older expeditions are..... old. u get into those because of an artifact or something new, but definitely not older named gears because they're stuck at 625 which is now *useless*.
- PVP is amazing, and PVP players will stick much longer (if u had The Abbys or Serenity) because of this expansion, but not PvE players.
- progression is harder if you're solo, yes it was hard enough with umbrals back then, but now you gotta be very lucky to get that 695+ from elite chest run, because u can't get that max gears from spam killing a miniboss under 100k hp anymore, they dropped gears sure, but not best ones and definitely not new named.
regular expeditions dropping 695+ is fixed, so if you only able to play now, you're fckd. u get 675 max, that's not max gears and that's not legendary named (675-700).
if u somehow spammed regular expeditions before they fix it, u probably already had 695+ average to do M3, congrats, but remember, not many as lucky as you, so you will find it difficult to recruit M3 runs players because they're still stuck under 675 and most of them probably quitting before they reach M3 able.
5 days on, New World is averaging 75k players, that's below expectations, and from what I've seen and felt so far, it wouldn't last long.
is $30 expansion worth it ? *YES* and if u somehow reached fatigue quickly like me, u can still comeback later for another updates, so stop whining about game didn't keep giving u free updates after 2 years running.
purely depends on the player, if you were affected by queue times, disconnects (which are nothing to do with your isp) crafting issues, quest issues, faction issues, influence teleports and you've been trying to get all this done for 7 days.......... success isnt the word i would care to use
I hope they add some kind of queued up instanced PvE mode like outpost rush but PvE. Like maybe similar to invasions but much smaller/shorter and with no impact on the actual map.
Jay I love your vids, and your Twitches are funny as fuck!!! Thx man! Thx for letting me post these on my discord the guys love em! Your hard work is greatly appreciated. FYI I lost 28 people to other servers. It is killing my company numbers.
The expansion is good and puts the game in a very good place in terms of systems. Now it's time for content. The road map will be big. The expansion was make or break and I think they got it more or less right. Here's to hoping they continue going down the right path and give us an amazing roadmap - preferably soon before the expansion hype dies down.
I have to imagine the success form the expansion has them thinking there is a lot more long term life left in the game. We are finally at the point where even with no more updates ever the game is good enough. Pretty crazy to think about
Great video I have enjoyed the content and now it’s just the gear grind which is good but yes hopefully there will be a raid and new battle ground open world pvp is what you make of it and can be very good if you’re not avoiding the conflict and trying to back cap capture points
They need to increase for the influence race towers how many it takes of people nearby before it teleports you away, it's very annoying trying to get back into the fight
i do not mind about paying for token to transfer to other low pop server but i have not done that because i wont be able to take all the gold i have made
I'm hoping they do something to fix the season pass tbh.. I havnt been able to use it since launch. And I bought the boosted as well, and never got it.
You know, my message to those players who've managed to acquire all the gear and exploit bugs for an advantage is simple: they might find themselves getting bored pretty quickly. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still in the process of gearing up and genuinely enjoying the game. Let's focus on the fun and fair play, it's what keeps the experience exciting for everyone!
The que boss is the real winner
Been away for a while, do we have gear sets or item tags and other organization QOL?
Hello,
You have only 2 gear sets for free.
You can buy more, for 5k "Marks of Fortune" EACH.
5k cost 5€ (or less, if you buy more).
I think there is a limit of gear sets. Maybe 10?
5€ each gear set, is garbage (way too much)... imo.
Season pass gives you marks of fortune which u can turn in for a gear set or two but not enough. Its a bit sad that you have to pay for extra gear set slots but at least the game isnt pay to play subscription based
@@Cygleto oh hell naw miss me with that sh*t… just encourages them to make it complicated so you “have to” buy stuff
gear sets yeah, but not much more need for them anymore now that banes and wards are gone
@Ultrajamz yeah i know your not wrong.
But at the end of the day, the game isnt subscription based and you can grind it out with clever strategies.
In games like wow or runescape you would get these sort of features for free, like transmog in wow. But you have to pay a subscription to play the game in the first place.
Does that make sense? I think New World is amazing value for pay, the only people who complain about the paywalls in New World are the the returning players who quit a while ago.
The major thing I dislike is Artefacts being on the season pass. Thats really bad and I really hope that you can still get it if you miss it that season...
Mounts,Thats why! Huge problem is the faction force lvling just to lvl up your artifacts at the kiln. Chromatic seals! Not smart at all!
Waiting on new pvp modes and maps (especially for OPR (still one map for 2 years lmao) and a PvE free version of OPR
We are missing numbers because of the q. So we are actually probably at 100k
The numbers shown on steamcharts is the amount of people that have nw.exe running on Steam, not the amount of people that are actually ingame. So people in Q are included already
Loving the expansion hating the game crashes and 2-3k queues. I have 2 transfer tokens and am really tempted to bounce of Maramma but you have to empty out and sell all houses. Then buy news ones in new sever and put all the crap back in. I dont understand why its like thism AGS has merged me into a new server 3x and the housing stuff isnt required. Maybe in a month the numbers will be back down to server norms.
Any stats on number who bought and played the expansion?
If I could stop getting teleported out of the new influence race content that’d be great too! Also, I’m not sure they thought much about if one faction has 3x as many players how one sided that makes the races. Purple in my server can show up and fight green and yellow at once and have people left over.
I think that’s supposed to be the purpose of the teleporting mechanic. To make it so that one faction can’t just have infinite numbers in a fight compared to other factions. Unfortunately this doesn’t stop them from being able to spread out and play multiple points on the map.
@@larewt Didn’t realize it was per faction just thought it was total in area
need free transfer tokens to get off of Maramma... ffs... 3000 queue on a Sunday afternoon...
Great update and I'm having fun. I do think the gameplay loop is a little underbaked though. I think M3 dungeons need to have exclusive gear that you can only get from those dungeons. With dungeons you basically are just gearing to do the same thing on a harder difficulty. There isn't really an incentive to do it which then makes gear score feel a little pointless because why am i even gearing for then. Now PvP in this game is atrocious. I know there are PvP lovers, but it is absolutely horrible in this game and it's mainly because of how unpolished it is with the desync, hit detection, rubberbanding and just overall clunkiness of fights. Sometimes I get into fights that feel smooth and that's when it's fun, but I don't ever see PvP being a highlight of this game. Gathering and crafting are great although I do think crafting is far too grindy. The average player will most likely not craft 700gs items since it takes so much time to get to that point. I just think there needs to be a reason to hit 700gs. Overall, its a great update and huge step in the right direction especially with the mounts which I think they nailed.
Hi jay, Im dps and I use hatchet/GS combo as well as hammer/GA at times. any tips?
Medium armour, is fun in pvp. In pve, consider some range like blundy or bow
they really need to upgrade or change their servers, IK devs always say its fine but cmon if you play this game you know it aint fine. So much rubberbanding that happens
Don’t trivialize Brimstone. It was NOT “a free patch.” It was a free expansion that they called an “update” so people wouldn’t think that all expansions would be free.
No other AAA MMO would ever dare call such a small amount of content an "expansion" it's laughable at best.
Warcraft has 2-3 content patches during every expansion that are much larger in every way, story, size and scale, changes.
Yeah, wow has a sub, but nw season pass is just a cheaper version of a sub now and everyday more and more QOL is being put behind a paywall.
@@Macphotographs (paid) season pass is optional, subscriptions are not.
Biggest issue with the changes made after 4 days was because they only "tested" this crap on PTR for a short time. There was WAY too much added to be tested in such a short time IMO.
“Who cares about the marauders anyway?” 😂
I'm watching this right now because I can't play with my friends because my game crashed and I was put into a 3k player queue. xD
The fact that most of pve consist in bus of 30 people killing things in less than 10 sec and running in circle just show how dev don't understand fun in pve. To be good we need real raids and more donjon where you can have fun by having a real challenge and a real role
Totally agree! (But Id like to access battlepass content)
Hmm might be time to come back to the game.
Game is great and i've been having fun playing it but ever since the update i've been getting freezes and crashes so it's not very enjoyable sometimes.
Who cares about the Marauders?! That almost hurt... If the faction enclaves actually become a thing, I'm jumping ship to Syndicate. Very cool place and the Marauders is like a stack of pallets. Haha
even all the named item no option to upgrade. lifering all items are available to upgrade but not the amulet. some of the named item from dung also not available to upgrade.. also chromatic seals too expensive.
Servers dont need more people!!! We need more servers!!
would be nice if they didnt make their only raid only 1 season old obsolete.
They need another healer class, another tank, another OPR map, a contestable world boss amongst other things.
They did its called Flail. You can tank or heal from it
@@Deletes.pixels Mate if you think the flail is gonna replace the life staff you braindead as hell
the only thing i want from new world is an overhauled character creation, i hate that my female character walks/attacks/stands and looks like a man
Endgame might be improved since launch but going from 1/10 to 2/10 isn't difficult
Pretty disingenuous to state it's outdone Brimstone when everybody knew a lot of players waited for fresh start before playing Brimstone.
it would be more successful with a bow artifact... wouldn't it Jay? wouldn't it...
The new expansion may not be perfect. But to your wife and your children , you are perfect.
Part of new worlds charm has always been that it is a janky, bugged, never sure what's going to catch fire next or what the next hot fix is going to break sort of game
You are just along for the ride.
it's a unique charm to the game, plus overall, the game has gotten a lot better. I played 2000 hours from Launch until Lost Ark came out and jumped ship, coming back and starting fresh today has been an honest amazingly fun experience.
Who cares if I can't do half the MSQs because my Azoth staff is bugged 😆
they need to remove a lot of bop items and make it boe so you can trade/sell in this MMO instead of going the other way. But that's just my opinion
The game will go back down to 12k in a few months
so many freaking bugs man... queue times are crazy.. i was forced out of my server and lost my company and all my 3+ million gold... the end game content is still the same.
Bro my game is having a error status -80 i cant even play the game
1 month and player active will go down hard
why is no one talking about how bad this release was>> the crashes the dc the bugs the exploits, game is in a near unpliable state. cant even do open world pvp with out getting tped to the town every 5 seconds. why is no one talking about how bad they did here????
I like this expantion
Broken MSQ, broken faction quests...
I’ve been having fun
They didnt give a free server transfer. Its absurd that i paid for the expansion and i cant play the game AND they wont give me a free transfer. So just to be clear i paid for the update and in order to play said update i have to give them more money or wait literally 3 hours everytime i log in or crash. The criticism they are receiving is entirely justified. Especially considering these were issues the game had day 1.
Actually refunded because of the queue issue. I mainly play during core hour and do not the time to wait hours to log in.
Capitalism baby.
idk.. overall the changes are probably for the better but i have 3 chars.. the 'work' ahead is too much.. the seasonal gifted artifacts cannot be used by all my chars.. so with 2 being on the list i cannot use them properly.. my chars seem to have a huge disadvantage bcos of this.. the light boots & earring can be used by most chars.. the medium bits u get from quests are not popular sets.. its infuriating. All my chars will miss out on early good gear & have to rely on Rng for every item. Crafting has become too much, it was already hard work now its even longer plus massive costs .. i wasnt max gear or craft levels before the changes & now im running about in blue or purple perkless rubbish like im L30 again & dont even feel comfy enough to sign up for invasions nvm any other content. ive not enjoyed the past week much at all, its felt like a huge job not a game :)
The aptitude is so annoying, i knew it needed to be increased but they've massively overshot it.
If only they could fix the tons of bugs. im playing since a week not even and there are still mainquest bugs where i cant enter a cave or even sidequests where my progress doesnt count. core game is decently good but everything else. and im not even talking about the server queues since 2 years sa,e garbage..
The new increased rawhide grind including the stag locks is just one of the worst ideas they have had. Sooo annoying.
Stag lock is apparently a bug, but cutting out the most time efficient rawhide farm and turning it into the worst thick hide farm is so dumb.
pve in the NewWorld dosent exists without the pvp and the other way round, thing is with NewWorld while in pvp or in any other pvp activity it is realy hard to enjoy the content due to some sort of desynchronisation other then that i would say game is great, dlc looks supreme and it looks like from now on NewWorld will noly go up forward but it isnt for me.
Is 70k considered a success 😅
If they had created a new zone to explore and not a did-over zone, I might of bought into the hype. NO sorry to say.
ye işt became pay to win now. if i wont spend "elden ring game price" on crap expansion my chars are nothing. they wll stay 60, craft skills stay 200 and i wont get mount. HEY GUYS ITS PAY TO WIN NOW. WHO CAN SAY NEXT YEAR THERE WONT BE NEW PATCH FOR ANOTHER GAME PRICE? man its unbeliveable, my all efforts, sets, everthing means nothing now.
XD
Sorry to be THAT guy but this game studio can’t even add LFG for dungeons no one can even complete dungeons and that’s a huge flaw. This number will not stick around unless they implement a subscription service this game is as good as dead
ngl im lost
roadmap when... those devs are residentsleepers
Lol removed ward and replaced it with conditioning, exactly the same but with a different name and ppl like it. Says a lot about your complaints in other videos....
Honestly, I hate this kind of progression in MMO's. It's the typical stupid hamster wheel where you gear is all worthless a few months later and you have to grind all new gear all over again. It's a pain in the ass and I wish they would go to a more horizontal gearing approach like Guild Wars 2 and ESO.
It's been 2 years where the gear grind finally changed, not "a few months". chill out
I want guild wars 2 and ESo progression too, but they tried that with brimstone and many people complained there was nothing to do.
1. It's been 2 years
2. They redid the entire gearing system, you would need to go get new gear anyway
69,000 nice 😂
Games running like ass. Launch day was kind of nice, but ruined now gg
4 hours farming the same stupid monster for an item you probably won’t use much!? Those are baby numbers bruh, I take it you’ve never tried to farm harbinger in the mines huh?😂
I do not think its been a success at all. 1st, i watched your stream for all of those drops... claimed them all, yet have not received them in game. But I could be wrong since I cant even log into the servers due to having a real job and no time to wait until 1am to play. I will just come back in a couple months when all the returning asshats leave again, once they realize its the same crap all over. I havent even been able to log in enough to hit level cap and thats fine, im not in a rush but it would be nice to play the game I paid for. I would totally take the free xfer.. I got slammed into mara with all the server merges over the years and I do not want to live on that server... please give me a free xfer and ill take it. and dont get me started on the progression thing.. nerfing things already like they did before to those who havent been able to play puts people behind - Very poor take , if you go watch your own video, it would seem that its mostly negatives.... bad bad clickbait
Wait untill payed streamers stop playing the game. Game are the same mess but now with extra layers of ™pay to play™. Performance are bad, perks are not reworked enough again, weapon trees should been reworked before realising expansion. Only good change are addition of artefacts.
Success ? still way to easy to get bis ore close to bis you already now see how people in eu only loging in for cds and log out the q if you end up in one you can see how fast it goes down comapred to start ore just a few days ago this new rng artifact and bis shase is what 30-100 hours tops and it´s over same goes for crafting and cds around it nysa had the bigggest eu serv had only 4 hours full serv yesterday all other serv have 10 min q this is far from Success sadly. I did take 3 days break back to day playing got a dc after few hours and you log in to another game they still struggle with serv and balancing the few times we have fun is when we have many player at same place ore zone but then you get stuck ore dc ore teleported out and that have been the case from day one they start adding to serv cap now 3k wtf
saying we passed brimstone is very misleading and inaccurate. the reason they only got 69k was cuz people wanted to play the new expansion with the freshstart servers. if freshstart was never released. that 69k wouldve been a lot higher. much migher than 77k. so brimstone did in fact get a bigger bump compared to the expansion
That’s just your theory. What we have are the actual numbers.
@@craybest yes, but if u knew how to actually read numbers, u'd understand why that 69k is so low
game is crashing
I logged in to buy expansion after a long break 1.3 years or so, I found my old company deleted with 800K coin gone. I found 2 of my lvl 60 toons without a server, I was told to pick a server from 2 options at launch. After one evening levelling on my mage I logged my melee toon and wanted to select the same server as my mage. NOPE I was given 2 low pop servers to pick from forcing me to divide up 2 toons with tons of materials and coin. I can tell you in 22 years of PC gaming I've never had a gaming company treat me with such nothingness. You don't exist to them, you don't matter to them. The lesson to be learnt here is not to play Amazon games in the future.
You done crying yet bro 😂
Why do you even need 2 characters?
Yeah it's crazy they force you to play on a low pop server and just have a worse time. I love Amazon games
The problem is the core game play. It never changes. This is why people leave.
new world is a good game the issue i have with the game is that is a very casual game meaning the content itself is too easy, there is no fun in clearing a dungeon when the content is pretty much handed to you.
the enjoyment ride for the game reaches 0 once you understand that the game is not gonna get any harder than what it is, is a semi loot game for casual gamers that want the MMO experience but none of the challenge.
while the PVP is fun for a while the changes ultimately made to many weapons and overall feel and fluidity has change from what it was before be it to make it easier for casual it made it to easy that there is also no point in playing it this is coming from someone that played what i consider the best PVP game of all time called Gunz the Duel.
i may come back one day when the content for the dungeons starts adding decent mechanics to their dungeons instead of just dmg increase and dmg soaking for enemies, New WOrld can learn a thing or two from Lost Ark raids/Dungeons.
I got news for you, most MMOs are made for casuals. Everything doesnt need to be the last 3-4 bosses in a mythic raid on wow or a +28. Having fun, getting good gear and socializing is what MMOs were really made for, not to say they cant have hard content. Its not made for maxing out ur character in a week and then calling it a bad game because you cant control yourself. If you want more fun and challenge then run off meta builds, try something new, dont expect a youtuber to give you all your builds. And if it doesnt work out, but had some laughs with friends then you know what you won in gaming and then you can go back to META builds with no shame. At the end of the day, If you rely on yourself to have fun you will never run out of it. This is what people are missing from gaming nowadays, but instead they wanna snort new content like its a line of coke and move on to the next with the same negative energy.
Go do a M3 with ransoms and try for gold….let me know how easy it is xD
@@BundyBro_ Most MMO players are casuals sure, but you can't tell me adding difficult content wouldn't draw in more players which would just be better for the game. I mean if you look at retail, classic wow, ff14, Lost Ark these games aren't nearly as casual as New World is so there clearly is a line, fucking Molten Core in classic is more difficult than NW's newest dungeon on M3 or the sandworm raid so you don't even have to look at retail fucking classic wow. You make the point MMOs are made for socializing, but New World doesn't even have social aspects. Unless you count "socializing" as typing in chat +myrk and running around looting chests :DDD. You also say "if you want to have more fun then run off meta builds" running an off meta build wouldn't change his experience in dungeons now would it when he's saying there are 0 mechanics. When you think about the PvE experience in NW its just 4 melees smashing mouse1 on the boss while the healer dumps all the AoE heals on them. This must be the most boring PvE experience I've ever encountered in any MMO, but if you enjoy it good for you there's nothing wrong with that, but don't expect most people to like eating shit. Sometimes the casual is just too casual and it becomes autopilot garbage.
@@Villuu All the MMOs you mentioned (aside from lost ark, cant comment on it) are social MMOs that happen to have hard content.. Especially FF14 holy shit. Just because it has a single hard mode for 6 months doesnt make it a hardcore MMO. Retail WoW might be the only thing that is in the middle, but in a recent interview Ion, the lead for WoW, said that LFR is the most played mode for raiding. Classic WoW is not hard, i literally fell asleep thru molten core and didnt die. You are on something special. Raiding in WoW didnt even get remotely difficult until Throne of Thunder. One thing you are right about is that the mechanics are not hard in the new dungeon. But should they be extremely hard every dungeon? No one is forcing anyone to play any of these games. The world doesnt cater around your skill level in a video game. If you dont have fun, just move on and wait to see if it swings back in your favor. I dont get why this is a strange concept to people now..
To end it, I do not think adding too much hardcore content will make a game better or even help it. I personally like hard content, but not at the expense of losing an already niche population. If youve already completed the M3s then thats awesome. But there are a ton of people who arent as good as you or me or someone we know. You could always go hardcore AFK in Limsa Lominsa or New Grindania for hours on end, silently, posing in an emote.
@@BundyBro_ Mate did you even read what I put out. I didn't say Molten Core was hard? I said Molten Core is HARDER THAN NW's Newest dungeon and the sandworm raid. My point with that is that Molten Core wasn't hard and it was boring content because it was so easy and you even said it yourself you fell asleep during it. So what does that make new world content like then if its EVEN EASIER? There is a line where casual gameplay is just too casual. Seems like you misunderstood me because you literally agree with me in your reply.
Also I never said MMOs shouldn't have casual content. All I said was that if there is ALSO hard content it will just grow the playerbase even more, and that New World's casual gameplay is so casual it makes Molten Core for example look hard compared to the stuff in NW.
Try to read what I'm saying instead of attacking me with phrases like "you are something special" when you are literally agreeing with me. Not once did I call any of the MMOs I listed "Hardcore" you are just putting words in my mouth.
Success is a strong word. People go back to the game because they knew it had potential and needed mounts and wanted to see what happened to it.
If the game fails again I dont think there will ever be another chance
I am not that positive about the update. I think they are being douchbags not offering free server transfers to people who are on servers with 2000 people queues specially for those who are on merged servers who simply didnt had a choice
Copium much : )
AGS still hasn’t fixed the Marauders!!! This game is fundamentally screwing 1/3 of its players. It’s doing so knowingly.
I dont really care at this point what have changed , 50 k players concurent player only and 3 hours que without ability to be able to migrate off the fking server ( even by giving them money ) without logging to that server first , what year it is at AGS office 2001? This is just atrocious, back to 20 k concurrent players in a week , hf .
Yeah not being able to migrate servers without logging in is dumb.
