2 times would have been funny but like 8 times was a bit too much. That is coming from someone who has been defending them. Although if you think about the Overwhelming Hate they have been getting I kind of don't blame them. But as you say Baggins, this announcement better be good stuff after all this hype. But I can't understand how it can be so many things they can't talk about (the only legit thing I would expect to be hushed up is console release because of console companies). I just can't imagine how there are like 6 things they can't talk about.
The "free" housing item (bear rug skin) was that same item they have already gave away for "free" so most active players have already claimed this item and do not get another one.
@@johanax9867 This is not about the item. This is about AGS not retaining players. Offering something useless to the last remaining active player base that is only getting smaller and smaller shows AGS has no clue of how to manage a live service game. These kinds of decisions do not bring any hype or excitement to the game or player base. Lets think for a second. People like free stuff. Imagine being a former consistent player of the game but having taken a step away from New World for weeks or months, you log back in for this "event" including your "free" cash shop item just to realize you cant claim it as it is nothing new. AGS has nothing big right now to release or announce, they just have the small things like recycled events and maybe some free drops/items. If they cant get the small things right what hope is there for the larger content drops incoming?
The problem is you actually need some good will in the bank if you want a video like this to pass, New World devs simply don't have it. This game will go down in history as an example of how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I find it hard to fathom how they have managed to get this so wrong.
The list of eligible locations for the competitions is very short and originally didn't include the UK . ELIGIBILITY: Only legal residents of the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland. Lets hope all the other players can be part of the community once they recover our locations from the "offline" status of ineligibility.
it's kind of funny that there aren't enough content creators left to have this racing "event" in every server. not sure why amazon hasn't shut the game down. the sheer size of the company is probably burying new world's pathetic performance
In my opinion this was absolutely unprofessional behaviour from the dev team. Trolling the few remaining players there is who are dying for new content is just horrendous.
So glad I stopped playing this a few months back (but kinda sad at the same time...just not quite sad enough to pick it up again). Just cant get excited about any announcements.
this devs seem to not know how to read a room or have a clue about how insulting it is to have time wasted. I play this game as a way to relax and decompress. I feel like they are talking down to us.
This week's Eye on Aeternum video is a good example of there being something fundamentally wrong with their team's processes. Either they release content without any sort of oversight whatsoever (which is believable considering how often we get patches with super-obvious bugs/problems) or they showed this video to people on their team and *nobody* could identify how players would react to the video given the current state of the game (which mirrors how disconnected the devs always seem from the community). The video's producer took full responsibility for the poor attempt at self-deprecating humor, but at the very least that still leaves the game's head developer and community manager as being involved with it and not recognizing how it would be received. Realistically, it seems kind of crazy that nobody higher-up would watch the *1* video a week they put out to ensure it properly represents the game and doesn't contain anything they'll need to apologize for. EDIT: And as you point out, a video like this discredits their claims that they have an "Experts Group" or in any way interact with players or content creators as they develop new ideas or work on things behind the scenes. I suppose it's possible they consult the handful of volunteer players who they game mod permissions to in the official Discord, but those are the people who will never provide criticism about anything related to New World.
Hey AGS, tell me you don't understand how angry your player base is without telling me you don't understand how angry your player base is. Best time ever for the Ashlands patch to drop for Valheim, later New World.
@@craybest You are the kind of guy making jokes at funerals or smoking in front of guy with a mechanical ventilator. I guess you can find anything funny. But i also guess not everyone knows how to read the room 🤡
@@craybest If you dont know, video games are as real as real life. Video games exists in the reality. They are both in the same dimension. I stop writing now, learn to read the room
I don’t even play the game anymore. And I did not find it funny. I think it is disgusting and zero respect towards players , extra kick in the ground . The more their continue this the worse it is for them and the game .
I honestly miss New World so much. They've slapped me across the face, and then kicked me when I was down. I was banned off discord last expansion because I expressed the dire need to unlock the worlds and provide free transfers for returning players. It's so sad to see what it has become. I am still holding onto a thread that it may get better. it's so sad.
I am not going to tell you your work hours, I am just going to tell you when you are late, and youre not able to do anything about being late! Goodness knows how you have continued to be as patient as you have Baggins!
Just a reminder, the get the average total player base of a game you need to multiply the daily player count by something like 7 because the average player does not play every day in fact usually only plays a couple of days a week. Most videos I have seen when referencing steam numbers multiple times 7. So that would be total active players is somewhere around 40 to 50k individual accounts logging in each month. It's really not that low, just significantly lower than the past.
The first round of fresh start servers were a good idea, if only they had a finished game....getting fresh start servers at this point is just showing disrespect towards their players. Fix the bugs, lag and make the skills/perks work as intended....then you can think about fresh start servers. Honestly, if they release fresh start servers at this point they might as well say "thank you for testing the game in these past couple of years, we've learned nothing"
At the end of my first month of playing this game, I realized that the less seriously I took it, the more enjoyable it became. However, at the far end of the spectrum of "non-seriousness" lies the realm of "not even bothering with it".
I can't tell if they're all just delulu now, bc they probably have felt like they have been working so hard on all these "secret" content update, and that it's somehow going to save the game from dying. "Everyone's gonna love it". Yup all 100 of us by the time it comes out haha. I had to make that joke. If all this hype...and I won't say it. We're all thinking it LOL
Just makes me further apathetic towards the entire situation. I'm not playing, hoping that the game will improve and for them to joke about how they are doing nothing makes me want to continue to not play. "Congratulations AGS, you played yourself."
It gets even more frustrating when you realize that the june announcement is just that. An announcement. Then what? Another 3,4,5 months until it actually comes out? This whole thing is EXTREMELY overhyped. Looking back at their trackrecord of updates and seasons, the expectations should be at the bottom.
Do you think their excitement is supposed to get us excited? It's not worked. I've not logged in for over a month now, and can't see any reason to log in any time soon.
They screw up on the season launch, apologize for not testing it prior.. and they have the audacity to create a video trolling everyone. Like they think they have enough brownie points just to go ahead and do that. That was very out of touch
It's so... sad. Its like seeing someone with a very serious situation in REAL LIFE and not wanting help from anyone. U just continue to see the person sunk in a hole so deep. Love the game, but its hard to love the game.
Their average player count is below 7000. They better be announcing New World 2 releasing at the end of the year and that it's free for anyone that owns New World now. There can't possibly be anything else that would pull them out of this nose dive
Thought they werent releasing videos when they got nothing new to announce and this troll video is basically them censoring out what they would announce, therefore nothing new.
She did mention "excited for a fresh start and experience the game in a new way". Perhaps they're bringing something like an ironman or a hardcore playstyle?
Why are people still playing this game... Amazon have been trolling players for months and months with a lack of content. I purely watch these vids to help support Baggins... Dude move on to another game and we'll support you no matter what mate.
This game is so slow to patch, everytime I go to play it starts and by the time it's done I've haven't time to play. I was prepared to give it another go and TBH it's such a nuisance every time I gave up.
That "joke" of playing music on that might've been funny one year ago but today in this situation the game is in this equals to showing just middle-finger through the video without saying one single word. If the hype ends up being just "Hey, here is the console version. Enjoy!" ...
It is going to be something similar to that. They have been open that they don't care about the current player base nor the state of the game now. They are just looking to bring a new audience in.
They are just making fun of whoever is stupid enough to give them money. I think i would do the same before leaving a gaming company to humiliate the last idiots who play my game
I’d rather have content thn 100k marks that won’t be worth shit when the game closes for good soon They hype up this June update and it won’t be worth shit I bet 100%
I think it was funny as hell they trolled the trolls the ones complaining are the very people saying the game is dead even though they already told them they knew the population would crater but would be worth it for the necessary for the future of the game
Its ridiculous, its not fun and congratilations to kill the most interesting and high potential game camong to last 5 years. Now we dont have nothing good to play in this style
Baggins: What do you feel about that video''? I felt annoyed ngl. It was a tiny bit funny the first time, maybe. I feel like they dont understand at all what players want/like.
Obviously they are _____ ___ ____________________ cause the game is _____ _____ ______________ ____ developers ______ __________, and that's how i lost my left testicle.
I think if they only did it only 1 or 2 times and then stopped. It went on way too long of a 'joke'. But it's not funny even though I know they are trying to make light of it. It's like you got into a car accident and you really liked your car and someone makes fun of how your car got wrecked and keeps making jokes about it.
AGS plans to lose the remaining worldwide 5k players too :D thy are mocking with player community at this point really. I am not hyped for any updates anymore at this point...
They said before they would definately look into funny and good ways of hinting about everything to us. So I did see this video as that and not trolling. Everything said before and after the masking I can connect to the news. For example the sandworm dissapointment is hopefully a hint about a complete raid experience or at least more than one of these "boss trials", the Angry Earth might be something about new factions for expansion or more content in the zone overall, the new ways to play our mains might be something really big, or just a hint about new ways to PvP with our mains...
Players troll AGS with a total average player count of 6,946 and falling...

I'll be more worried when it passes the sub 1000 mark.

The Zombie “easter-egg” is us, the players. They think we’re mindless Zombies.
If you are still playing NW, you are a mindless zombie.
supporting Baggins is one of the few reasons I'm still interacting with New World
At this point this announcement will either be their redemption or the last nail in their coffin.
people have been saying that since brimstone sands lol
bro the game has been dead since release lmao
You’re too good of a content creator to waste on this game 😢
it does suck he seems so professional, and this is like representative of him as well. it's a slight to the entire community at this point
He probably signed a contract from the start, haha.
Betcha the "June Announcement" will be the last week of June.
Kathy and Lydia, will be the names of the named reskinned yaks x Hippo bosses.
Heartbreaking to see this is the team handing new world. So much potential shat all over it
No words about bugs. When Bug World will be fixed? The combat doesn't work well, there are a lot of other bugs too. When?
Also, the problem with high ping is that your animations refuse to work well. A year ago I didn’t have such problem with pvp

I assume that other people is simply subhumans for Amazon. Damn, they can't even make this game available to everyone.
When she says “Fresh start with a new character AND EXPERIENCE THE GAME IN A NEW WAY” - my immediate thought was optional console only servers.
yeah, pc and console servers will be segragated...
Imagine a company / group that goes to industry show and brags about community engagement negatively trolls their remaining customers
it's kind of funny that there aren't enough content creators left to have this racing "event" in every server. not sure why amazon hasn't shut the game down. the sheer size of the company is probably burying new world's pathetic performance
He says it feels a "little bit out of touch." Understatement of the century, lol!
I hope their 5 remaining players are excited for the upcoming changes
