Yup. Waste of time waiting for it to get good. They just don't know what they're doing, and there's absoluuuutely NOTHING making me think it's ever going to get better. They just don't seem to want it to get good ever. We had a good run, let us move on to the next thing. The first month of the game was the most fun I've ever had in a game I think. Day one, everyone low level just PVPing everywhere while questing, camping tents in the entrance of every town, discovering new plants you can harvest, man it was a blast.
Agreed dude. Launch open world pvp was legit. After the dupes they changed client sever interaction and the combat never felt as good. I came back and bought the expansion but nothing beat that first month
@@pomps8085 i spent hours roaming around pvp flag on just to get a maybe a fight every hour or so lmao. the biggest tragedy was how rare those pvp moments were, and my server died in < 1 month then i quit because the only pvp was in outpost rush. OPR basically killed any hope of pvp, because every pvper just spam global chat to tell ppl to AFK in towns while waiting for OPR queue :( open world pvp is the best because u never know whats gonna happen or around the corner. OPR is just doing the same tactics on repeat and really is missing the point of pvp in mmos.
After 1k+ hours since day 1, I gave all of my stuff away, deleted my characters, and uninstalled the game in March 2023, and in April 2023, I removed the game from my library so I feel better. I... just could not stand it anymore.
I quit when they nerfed Shirking Fortification, rendering my 3.8mil bis gear completely useless. I only got to use it for like 4 days. It was the 2nd time they completely shit on thousands of hours of effort.
I didnt give all my stuff away. I said a final goodbye to everyone in the server, put my character to sleep on his bed in his house, surrounded by all his furnishings and his endless amounts of mats in his storage. I looked around one last time, and logged off.
The problem is Amazon. They are an S-tier company for marketing and Wall Street has their backs for the last 30 years. Only goal is to come into an industry and suck the oxygen out from their competition. Blow up big numbers at release so they can show their Wall Street investors what a great company they are and then forget about it 6 months later and move onto a new thing. Their only goal is to suck the oxygen out of the gaming industry so that they are the only one standing. I feel bad for the devs that worked on the game and the players who invested time in it, but at the same time not surprised to see the results.
@@Nyce-Gaming I think they have to make the LOTR mmo the most lore intensive PVE game ever or they will get destroyed by the Tolkien army. They probably should concentrate 100% on PVE and no PVP at all for that game. So much lore to use they can make an epic game that lasts years like FFXI or WOW or FFXIV. Thanks for the video.
@@bigheadkittygaming yea and they should go with the monthly sub this time lol (not that new world really justifies that) but if the lotr game has way more content and features then it could really help them with the funds.
I played new world at launch and dipped for about a year. Came back and played for a few months..... I will NEVER play another amazon game again period.
@@Nyce-Gaming100%. I'm avoiding anything Amazon and anything Funcom from now on, regardless how good what they make ends up being. Once you mock my time it's over, lol
4800 hours for me. Finished season 4 then stopped for lack of having anything to do. Waited for season 5. Played a couple of days and finally gave up as the game is almost as bad as it was at launch. I'll hold off until the "huge announcement " in June to decide to do a full Uninstall.
Also, ESO made a free weekend for people to experience the game, check the dates on each games population during that weekend and you will see where all the pop went
This game suffered from the new age "release a broken mess and fix it for the next 2 years" syndrome but the issue is with an MMO game, you cant miss out on a playerbase for 2 years like singleplayer games, that will kneecap an MMO heavily. Mmos gotta be baked well, not to mention that their content was heavily delayed too because of bug fixing. The bad launch had unredeemable consequences
If you're hoping and coping that New World turns things around, let me remind you of Rings of Power and wishing that Season two will all the sudden get good. All AGS games suck.
Put thousands of hours into New World starting from launch, had a great time. I saw all my friends and Company mates quit left and right, so I too left after Season 2. This game had SO much potential, it truly was fun. But it was evident they dumbed down the game over time, became very unbalanced, they ignored PvP, and started chasing profit and revenue... why the F are they trying to go console when PC is their bread and butter. Make the game GOOD retain players, THEN go console. Game Managers have no idea wtf they are doing. And paid DLC when the game is DYING... WTF were they thinking? Seems like they are just milking the players that remain and likely cancel it, just like the other games they have COMPLETELY abandoned and failed at developing. I do not trust Amazon Games. They shaft players constantly.
I've been playing since launch (7k hrs) and quit 2 days after my most recent video. The video was a jab at exploiters showing I don't need any to kill them. Well, 2 days after I posted it, I was given a 24hr ban for the very exploit I refused to use. I assume AGS doesn't have any semblance of a system that can accurately identify cheaters or exploiters. I worked at Activision and if their system is anything like year 1 of Warzone or earlier, they have all types of devs in a Slack channel documenting their personal play experiences and asking for random players to get bans. Similar to a player reporting but with a much higher turnover due to nepotism.
This was so sad to read. After 7k hours that would’ve been the last straw for me too. I truly don’t understand the thought process behind these decisions
I think that you are absolutely right. I had 1442 hours (not consistent)in the game from launch, as well as having participated in all the Alphas and the Beta. Brimstone Sands brought me back for a little while and the expansion brought me back for a short time. I enjoyed the game, for the most part, but it was never good. Adequate, would be the highest I could judge it. I believe that Amazon has written off the game and the current player base. Your guess about rebrand/relaunch was something I haven't heard elsewhere but does strike me as the most likely scenario.
The day AGS announced there would be no more content for at least 6 months, with relatively little new content since launch, my son and I quit. We'd been playing since release with one break during the last big content drought after Brimstone. We gamers often talk about games with massive potential, and New World is one of those. Unfortunately, the team running this game can't seem to pull themselves together and make a coherent live service product. Meanwhile, most of us are now off playing indie games that put AAA (or AAAA) games to shame. Helldivers 2 is one of the most fun times I've had in many years and it's an indie dev team, doing live service very well, at a $40 price point.
ff14 type rebrand is wishful thinking but if it happens they should also fire the entire dev team and get new ones. we all know that's not happening. this june announcement is just console release, most likely without crossplay because ags is ran by a bunch of idiots, and the pvp island, a literal bland free for all pvp island lmao. this game is not getting past 2025
Over 5500+ hrs played by the end of season 3 and I haven’t been back since. I had so much hope in the game because it wasn’t like any other mmo on the market at the time. I haven’t been as patient with no mmo like I had been with NW. But the devs unfortunately and it’s obvious…has put NW in the backseat and is now being used as a test dummy for lack of better word for LOTR.
T-Bagging has increased dramatically in PVP . Players are toxic in mutations and leaving the dungeons. Bugs are in huge amounts. This has made me quit the game a few days ago.
why… why… why would the community continue to troll and infuriate the little people they have left. Now that’s one less person filling up the slow matchmaking smh. Sry to hear
I have like 3k hours in the game. I quit as well. YOU MADE THE CORRECT CHOICE! Worst MMO devs by far. I hope they lose their LoTR license so we don't have to go through that inevitable sh*t show on their garbage game engine.
For years I gave them feedback asking for proper support for companies - there was no motivation to join or stay in a company. You can still party with 4 friends for dungeons or PvP. And signing up for a War was by faction, not company. "But", you say, "it is the company that officially declares war that gets the territory." Our company did more than 50% of the PvP work for the declaration for seven straight wars but lost the "coin toss" all seven times. The company disintegrated overnight.
I was there from the alpha/beta to 3.5 months after launch. I quit because I found out that there was no REAL substance to the end game. I was able to get to GS 625 3.5 months after the original launch. Not enough endgame content to retain people like me and friends. We are your old school traditional, Neckbeard, Die Hard PvE players. That is why they have FAILED.
As a casual player playing a couple of hours after work, this is the MMO that consumed my nerves the most...As a most PVP player, and having played several MMOS before with not perfect PVP balance, I do not pretend to have an ideal balanced PVP and so on, but mtf this MMO's PVP is weak...
Don't hate the people trying to save your time, bro. You'll give them thousands of more hours and just like us you'll realise you wasted it. It will come 100%, all that matters is how soon it happens and how much time you actually waste. I was 3500h in before I learned...hope you do it much earlier, for your sake.
@@arkdesign9517 All time playing videogames can be considered wasted. Every MMO will end, it's just a matter of time. What's important is wether you are having fun. And right now I'm having fun playing New World.
Eh. I'd say that you were right about it being "fine" from a limited point of view. As an entire game, though, it hasn't been fine since about 5 weeks after launch. Which means likely since beta, really, and the beta play + first 5 weeks of gameplay that I enjoyed was based on having too little info.
Yea that’s the thing . A game will feel fun and fine as a newer player who didn’t experience what u did or didn’t run out of content. Just in this comment section alone there’s a player who just started yesterday and enjoying it for example
@@Nyce-Gaming from someone who likes to play "the whole game", crafting should have been better thought out (with zero RNG for traits) from the start. Then there would have been a stable market for materials, encouraging people to play the whole game. And the influence system should have been there at launch. A de facto gatekeep on large-scale pvp was a bad move too. Should have been open pvp for resources, forts, flag points or whatever, from the start. And if your company can hold down your territory in real time, you lose it. Lots of stuff. But that is water under the bridge.
@@Nyce-Gaming it made farming MOST materials useless because no one is going to pay a "fair" price for your time if they may need 100 attempts to get the item they want. Just stupid.
I just decided to download it after not really enjoying it from launch, first thing I notice is my characters world is just missing, had to transfer. already a bad sign. next is seeing only 3 servers all with a "LOW" population, and after logging in the game looks and felt *exactly* like how I left it. super disappointing to see a game funded by literally amazon struggle to do anything interesting years later. shame. I want a good mmo to play!
@@Nyce-Gaming I felt it was kinda weird to have a NDA for that closed beta test. I won’t get into it, but you’ve also played KR ver. So not sure why it’s secretive. But distraction, most likely. The whole we got something big in June but can’t say what it is but it’s big is a bad move. Say it, tease it, but if you can’t do either don’t say it. Just leads everyone speculating what it is and from their track record, just leave people disappointed when they say whatever it is
Theres multiple teams that operate in ags. Throne won't hurt new world ags is just a publisher . If anything hurts new world it's more resources being sent to LOTR. Also throne is just going to be dead on arrival. Game is already pretty dead in korea.
Dude this game in mainteance mode since release, brimstone was created by old crew that is no longer here. We have solid history of their updates in 3 years, anyone who expect anything meaningfull in June is just stupid.
Played from launch, really was ready for a new MMO, but not long and I found myself just standing around, spending more time reading forums. Never happened to me before. It was depressing. Logging in felt more like a chore, I had paid, tried to get some value from it, but couldn't. After 1000 hours or so, many of them just spent standing around, I quit. Tried return once, got the same feeling almost immediately, uninstalled. Didn't come back for the mounts. Don't think anything could bring me back, and I'd not ever pre-pay for an Amazon game ever again, I'd wait for some months, seeing how reviews are going, if at all. New World felt soulless to me, passionless, dead inside and out, purely created to make the company money, not because anyone actually had love for it or a vision. Dread to think how they will utterly slaughter Lotr with that attitude.. but hey, we still got Standing Stones actually investing love into Lord of the Rings Online (and they even brought old orc and elf camp back in the Ettens). Don't think Amazon will be able to create something even remotely equal, despite new tech, they lack the heart.
They don’t need a rebrand they need to take ownership of the direction of the game and stick to a vision. Along with a way to once and for all balance the combat. Some of us don’t have the time to play the boring PvE to create a new build because they can’t balance the game. All I want to do is log on enjoy OPR not bowpr and log off.
Thanks for the vid - I don't think it's dead. I think it was an pre-mature birth and has been on life support. I'm pretty sure it'll be back in Q3 2024
Yea like I mentioned at the end, there’s still hope that they do cpr. Right now we’re rushing it to the emergency room and the doctors said there’s a small chance it’ll live. They will try administering a June announcement or a quarter 3 transplant

They should re-brand it. Building off what it is now could be done but they also need to hire a lead dev who understands MMO end-games. They have a great core and could definitely make this work. It runs well, the combat is good, it looks great. I'll that still play and enjoy NW, but the fact is if any new MMO had released over the past year I'd be playing it (well, any reasonable one, T&L is not that). It is a real shame that WoW, ESO, etc. all have issues with PvP (for awhile now, all had fun times at various points). NW could be the game for PvPers but they never focused on it and that was a missed chance IMO.
4:45 Nyce, I agree with you. It is best to restart the game to make a new beginning at this point. Even AGS has admitted that only %2 of players enjoy this game which dominates everything and thy are aware these %2 are the main gold providers to gold sellers where RMT is real in this game and these subjects and many other problems affect the game in a negative way... If a restart happens, only these %2 of the so called elite players and guilds will complain, and at that point AGS needs to choose for real: %2 or %98 is more important for their game?
Archeage is closing very soon fully at 27th of June. All of our years of efforts are gone, similar to Tera Online, and now it is time for New World if AGS does not fix itself... Thanks to AGS, worldwide population dropped to around 5k-6k sth... EU servers are 3 and only around 3k-4k players active online most of time currently... Soon, New World is going to close soon too. AGS does not care or listen any feedback or what players say and there is no solid roadmap for long term gameplay. Instead, AGS says that without New World there is no new LOTR mmorpg. NW players are laboratory test subjects for new LOTR mmorpg, AGS has abandoned New World already for new LOTR mmorpg...
Ive just returned back to new world to find the population dead and how unhappy people are. But to be honest im still loving the gameplay and think its a great game. I dont know what theyre gonna have to do to save it, the end game just doesnt keep you around
Yea it’s unfortunately one of those games I’ve seen people check out for 2 weeks or so after a season launch then take a break or quit. The gameplay and combat still cool. Great environment. Good harvesting too
Man, I remember playing this with y'all all the time 😭. Game just got so stale, same people in PVP with the same damn builds. Had a blast at first tho, game has/had so much potential (ItsMaui)
New World died because Asmongold went back to WoW. Thats why if your game is a on going game, never rely on Content creators, just make 1 time pay single player games so these content creators will buy the game and once they are done, you wont have any cost of keeping the game going. That or you make a game that you force the players to love the characters/story (FF14 and Genshin) and then they stick around, if you are making one base on gameplay and hardcore game play, people will leave the game, because they are not loyal to it, they never built a connection with the game.
the game itself is fine, theres just not enough of the game. Bugs can be overlooked if gameplay loops are refined/solid. New World just needs to revise its gameplay loops with people who actually understand what players enjoy. Doesnt need console release atm but I think honestly the devs leveraged porting the game to console in order to buy themselves more development time to try and save it. I think the devs do care - with evidence from season1-3 where improvements were actually made and it was going in the right direction. Now I think the execs saw the numbers from xpac and said "we'll take it from here" and are calling the shots now. It is what it is, the combat is too good for me to give up on it- and I will probably play until the game officially shuts down or if they do some major change that makes the combat unfun/different, but I understand anyone who quits :p
They could have saved some resemblance of population had the gathering been instanced based instead of bot friendly also, the BiS gear should have been earned not crafted.
I think they need new management. Scott seems like a nice guy, but it's just a bit silly now. I quit because it seemed like the team had no idea what their game even is. TLDR. Every single aspect of the game is broken and felt bad. Almost to point that it feels sabotaged. They killed arena, as in 0 Players, where you could queue all day and never see one match,they did it in one patch and never tried to fix it They killed OPR by turning it into DOORPR and only fixed it on the delayed season 5, but also they made note to say they need to keep the PVE players in a PVP mode happy?!?!? The seasonal content was a snooze fest, just a massive damage sponge with boring mechanics. No other real options, so forced boring content. Influence races were added, great idea and saw alot of participants. It quickly became known that the only way to win was to spam the repeating PVP quests. Basically, avoiding actual PVP was how you win. PVE content was just as goofy. M3 dungeons were the ultimate example of devs not playing their own game. M3s required so much investment to actually compete, having a PVE set, changing the gems in every piece. I saw people requiring you had two sets of armor, with different gems. Want to run a new dungeon well...sorry you would have to switch them for each one. So choosing to do multiple different M3s felt bad. Dungeons had mechanics that hid their own mechanics. I really wanted to play them but trying to find players for them was pulling teeth. They also didn't scale any of their high-end content with the expansion and the level increase. Sandwurm was for cosmetics only and dark matter when it was hard to get. Trials? What are trials? Oh that Powerleveling thing? Right gotcha. Crafting high-level items required immense amounts of gold, and i am pretty sure that anyone who crafted 700 GS most likely bought gold. Not everyone but I personally didnt know anyone who did it with out. So not only did you have to grind it or spend a bunch of gold to level it you were met with a 150k bill for trophies and 200k for the gear. Want to grind for it yourself? Extremely small chance to drop meant this was near impossible. I did hundreds of chest runs and got 0 of the items i would need. Dont get me started on Wars. Sorry but they are just incompetent on every level. I am not even sure a Realm Reborn would convince me to come back just to watch them patch the life out of their own game and refuse to address any of the obvious design flaws.
Well said. Them not scaling the sand worm trial showed how little they cared bout previous content. I think when I started getting 1hr arena ques and realized no cross server queuing would happen, it was time to move on
@@Nyce-Gaming Spend all that time making the Sandwurm and then just leave it to rot? They need content and it's wild they just did nothing with it. I can't imagine scaling it and increasing the rewards would be too much work. Same with the Trials. Don't worry though they will add swimming and everyone will be happy. 😅
played alpha beta and at launch loved it for a few weeks then quit out of lack of things to do. came back for brimstone update was fun for another week or two but then quit agian. i just dont know if i can bring myself to play anymore.
I first started olaying last spring abut May, played abut 4 months, i uninstalled and quit because it wasn't enjoyable i had more fun playing Starfield and ESO...thats saying a lot about the New World game and its longevity and quality
It's frustrating since so many people care and WANTED this game to be good... but for the price, it was a dollar decently spent. I'd do it again. Still interested in what is going to be the "big" news for June. Maybe it's that Sony/Microsoft dropped the ball and saw how incompetent they are. Or Amazon has their own new console coming out lmao
Full reboot is a must. Also needs to take way longer to get to max lvl. We blow the leveling that’s the best part doing MSQ. Brackets for opr is also needed 20s, 30s, ect. Even with a relaunch I think it’s too late. Love you new world RIP.
screw OPR, that was the final nail in the coffin for open world pvp. "hey why go out and adventure when you can queue for OPR while afk in town". disgusting gamemode!!! 0/10 IGN! :P but seriously
new world was at its best when it released, there should've been a lvl cap then unlocked lvl with later updates and stuff while they worked on the issues, everyone enjoyed low lvl pvp
Such a shame with all the lost potential. I started playing after watching your first video and live streams afterwards, I had a lot of fun while it lasted. If with you though, I uninstalled.
@Nyce-Gaming I am back on ESO after a year plus having fun again. Trying out Arcanist for the first time, I'll be in Cyro shortly mixing it up and I can't wait.
new world isnt dead until we see wtf they have been keeping a secret for June, if its not something insane then yea the game is done.....kinda. if it drops on console then they will keep the game alive
Weird thing is June isn’t going to be when we get it, but just the announcement of something and the game still bleeding players. I hope it’s a console release and if it is, it HAS TO BE cross play. Only thing that can help the population at this point. I hope things turn around. As I said at the end, if not dead, it’s in life support :(
Why it is failing is too much to say in a forum. New World is fun. The leveling is now solid to good, the expeditions/dungeons are good, PvP combat is good... the issue is end-game simply doesn't work right and it is a bunch of little mistakes that add up to an end-game that is not engaging enough. Now, at launch it was not ready and burned so many that they'll never come back but if they had launched with an MMO like it was this time last year, it would have faired far better and then build off this. But bottom line, these devs are clearly not gamers or at least not MMO gamers. They do not 'get it'. They have gotten better at balance and a number of things but they simply don't understand how to make an MMO end-game that will hold players and it isn't because of lack of content, it is because of lack of design since they cannot properly sustain either PvP or PvE players.
👏 well said!!! New world should have LAUNCHED with the amount of stability and gameplay it had around season 3ish. And so now it’s forever playing catch up which sucks for end game players steadily wanting engaging content
Man I so want to enjoy this game, I’ve installed and uninstalled it repeatedly. For me the crafting is broken (everyone can do everything), economy is broken, spawning of enemies boring AF, but mostly I can not buy into the initial story line, I don’t want conquistadors and fantasy, I just can’t make the jump. This travels into gear looking dumb and muskets IMO have never had a place in a fantasy MMO (hi WoW boys and GW2). Let’s see how many more times I install, uninstall before Ashes comes out looking for something this game just doesn’t deliver despite it being beautiful with great combat.
dev team just grabbing amazon money they have no idea what they doing core gameplay is really good but damn there is nozhjing to do 2+ years of doing whole lot of nothing
They were better off releasing it as it was originally designed--- a survival pvp game. Now, because of the engine used, which cannot handle large group pvp or fix the desync issues, it was probably wise to shift focus. But they could'nt afford to wait 2 more years to release the game. EIther way the fate of NW was sealed from the start thanks to Lumberyard
True. They indeed should’ve stuck with their original vision or at least gave it a little more to before releasing. And yea lumber yard probably also to niche of a tech to hire developers easily for too lol
I just explained for 20 minutes how it is. do you have a statement to better rebuttal this other than just disagreeing? every day the population is getting lower than it EVER has been. may not be shutting down but to say it’s not dying is ignoring the data presented
If you want to know why the game will never improve look at scott lanes imdb page and then ask yourself why is he heading an mmo. Also as of now me watching this video it has only 5000 players in game
The game died at lost ark release. When they give up PvP by giving priority for pve. We can talk about easy asf Raid too. Or even when they tried end game breaches and die like casuals during the first months
What if they are going to sell to a different developer, and that's why they cant talk about it. The developers are not giving up on it, they are just changing developers. I have never played this game, and im sure it's just a crazy, very improbable scenario. But that was the first thing that popped into my mind while listening to the developers.
You won't find other mmo with the combat as good as New World. You will be back just like many other people who left but couldn't find greener pastures. That is because onece you taste NW's combat, anything else is garbage.
I do like new world’s combat. And as I stated, I’m not quitting 100% and may revisit it if things change. I do however think that without major change that’s unlikely. Think about it. New world combat is amazing RIGHT NOW , yet that’s not enough for me and apparently a lot of others. People want to see content, end game, population, care, transparency, and more. Combat will not be enough to get players back or at the very least retain them.
Bro, the combat is boring and has zero weight to it. 90% of combat is spamming Mouse 1 and dodges are far too spammable. It's boring easy mode dogshit gameplay
@@arkdesign9517 the combat wasnt perfect. they should have made it you can only dodge 2 times in a row MAX. and you were supposed to get punished for dodging twice in a row (0stam punishment). but it was all buggy and made no sense. you could do a 50 stamina cost dodge when you had 1 stamina point remaining lol... & dodging at 51 stamina was a cheat code basically, because you didnt get punished for having 1 stamina remaining lol but if they listened to myself and other pvpers who no lifed the pvp they could have balanced it way better. its a shame they don't just hire people as "PVP developer" and thats their entire job, honestly.
i was looking for some mmorpg to start play,i find New World,then i start to look on youtube videos about this game, its new game,only 2 years old and i find video with name "returning player ..." that is when i get that this game is dead sad times, game looking pretty good i think game was neglected because of new game they are planning to launch.
Thats the take you got? Thats not the vibe presented. I spoke on the June announcement a lot in this video. Last chapter especially. I personally am taking a break unless a big june announcement occurs like apparently many others are :(
@@Grimmnight16 when did I say you couldn’t? Apologies I think something was misunderstood. You said “we aren’t going to wait until June. We just gonna say f it and move on” then stated my take was interesting. That’s all I was responding to. You haven’t posted a take yet except that mines is interesting. Sry for the confusion
For me, the last nail on the coffin were the mounts in OPR. Now OPR is full of mercenaries running like zergs from point to point and it destroyed the team play completely.
Duuuuude I saw a post about this! I haven’t seen, but it sounds like one of those ideas good on paper, but horrible in practice. Bet it disrupted group play and trivialized pushes towards the middle objective. I bet groups of 6 back capping easily lol
@@Nyce-Gaming I stopped playing about 4 days ago because of this. For me this was clearly a desperate decision because they have nothing new. They knew it was a mistake to activate them in OPR because when the last expansion came out mounts were not available in OPR. And the thing is nobody was asking for it, there were no complaints or posts requesting mounts in OPR, so why? Why not a fair matchmaking system? Anyways, in my opinion this decision is a clear message to me to play pve or fuck off of the game with my pvp wishes.
@@NoAlias536 yea I remember when they first introduced mounts on the PTR. Mounts were allowed in opr then they went out their way to remove that saying it was an accident. Now look at them. No sense of conviction
I agree completely. I only solo queue OPR, and now it's absolute cancer as a solo player. Back capping is not feasible anymore because a 5 stack premade will just show up instantly and stop it. Also, the ambush style game play has disappeared because it's no longer feasible to ambush someone on a mount because even if you do dismount them, they fly 10 meters ahead and aren't within range to attack.
funniest comment "if they had a good road map" don't even have one :) AGS is so bad and Scot needs to go ! has no clue what he is doing and no clue about this market. Any shinning light on the market Nyce ? PvP was good till they broke it !
yea bro they literally left us with no true road map. Btw something I forgot to emphasize. The ANNOUNCEMENT of something coming in June. That doesn’t mean the content/thing is HAPPENING in June 😂 But honestly I’ll probably play some T&L when it comes to NA just for the combat. Tho it failing in KR isn’t hopeful. Just buying time until ashes of creation this year. ESO a good shout too
@@mgw5377 Yeah I agree. I played it earlier and it makes me even more sad how New World squandered their game 😭 The system was so unique and had so much potential
@@arkdesign9517 Yeah I have thousands of hours on GW2 and while it does have amazing combat. It's different than what New World offered. New World felt so much more grounded and impactful
![KSI - Thick Of It (feat. Trippie Redd) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/At8v_Yc044Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Yup. Waste of time waiting for it to get good. They just don't know what they're doing, and there's absoluuuutely NOTHING making me think it's ever going to get better. They just don't seem to want it to get good ever.
We had a good run, let us move on to the next thing. The first month of the game was the most fun I've ever had in a game I think. Day one, everyone low level just PVPing everywhere while questing, camping tents in the entrance of every town, discovering new plants you can harvest, man it was a blast.
Man I can’t wait until we get that new mmo launch feel again
Agreed dude. Launch open world pvp was legit. After the dupes they changed client sever interaction and the combat never felt as good. I came back and bought the expansion but nothing beat that first month
@@pomps8085 i spent hours roaming around pvp flag on just to get a maybe a fight every hour or so lmao. the biggest tragedy was how rare those pvp moments were, and my server died in < 1 month then i quit because the only pvp was in outpost rush. OPR basically killed any hope of pvp, because every pvper just spam global chat to tell ppl to AFK in towns while waiting for OPR queue :(
open world pvp is the best because u never know whats gonna happen or around the corner. OPR is just doing the same tactics on repeat and really is missing the point of pvp in mmos.
After 1k+ hours since day 1, I gave all of my stuff away, deleted my characters, and uninstalled the game in March 2023, and in April 2023, I removed the game from my library so I feel better. I... just could not stand it anymore.
It’s sad. A lot of players here in the comments feel the same 🙁 we get fed up eventually
I quit when they nerfed Shirking Fortification, rendering my 3.8mil bis gear completely useless. I only got to use it for like 4 days.
It was the 2nd time they completely shit on thousands of hours of effort.
@@arkdesign9517😂😂😂 thats quite funny
@@tbclabamba8051 only if you're not very bright
I didnt give all my stuff away. I said a final goodbye to everyone in the server, put my character to sleep on his bed in his house, surrounded by all his furnishings and his endless amounts of mats in his storage. I looked around one last time, and logged off.
I have been through this with a few games before, and it really sucks when the company cuts corners and ruins a games potential
Sometimes it’s truly hard to understand developer decisions. And can suck to watch your favorite games ruined by solely bad decision making
*I maintain that New World should have been free with Amazon Prime sub.*
👀 oooooh I could see that. Maybe they’ll do a f2p thing a prime gets you the season pass lol
The problem is Amazon. They are an S-tier company for marketing and Wall Street has their backs for the last 30 years. Only goal is to come into an industry and suck the oxygen out from their competition. Blow up big numbers at release so they can show their Wall Street investors what a great company they are and then forget about it 6 months later and move onto a new thing. Their only goal is to suck the oxygen out of the gaming industry so that they are the only one standing. I feel bad for the devs that worked on the game and the players who invested time in it, but at the same time not surprised to see the results.
Sad facts maybe… I wonder how this impacts their LOTR mmo
@@Nyce-Gaming I think they have to make the LOTR mmo the most lore intensive PVE game ever or they will get destroyed by the Tolkien army. They probably should concentrate 100% on PVE and no PVP at all for that game. So much lore to use they can make an epic game that lasts years like FFXI or WOW or FFXIV. Thanks for the video.
@@bigheadkittygaming yea and they should go with the monthly sub this time lol (not that new world really justifies that) but if the lotr game has way more content and features then it could really help them with the funds.
@@Eridorrr I agree with the monthly. I played ffxi with one and liked it.
I played new world at launch and dipped for about a year. Came back and played for a few months..... I will NEVER play another amazon game again period.
See that’s exactly what I was wondering. If the new world experience will affect ppl trying their other MMOs
@@Nyce-Gaming100%.
I'm avoiding anything Amazon and anything Funcom from now on, regardless how good what they make ends up being. Once you mock my time it's over, lol
Average players officially hit 7k range, 80% are bots?
Ouch. Thats not good at all...
when server is at 1500 it feels like 40-100 ppl playing so more then 50% are probably bots
This game wasn't meant to be released. I played 3k hours and quit simply because of eternal bugs.
Yea they definitely rushed it out the oven with no long term goals or sense of direction
it took you 3000 hours to realise it lmao
@@skeithaseoxd I wanted it so bad to be good... At least, I jumped out before the boat sank. 😅
4800 hours for me. Finished season 4 then stopped for lack of having anything to do. Waited for season 5. Played a couple of days and finally gave up as the game is almost as bad as it was at launch. I'll hold off until the "huge announcement " in June to decide to do a full Uninstall.
now it's time for the next thing, the console cash grab!
RIP New World we tried, could've been such a great game...
Sooo much lost potential
@@Nyce-Gaming yes
Well, its now hit below 5k. I was looking for a new game to play and i bought new world a while back, then i checked the player count and....yeah.....
Sad to see smh
Hey, I quit before the season 5 launch! I tested the new movement and combat and it felt soooo bad that I just said: "F it! I'm done"
Also, ESO made a free weekend for people to experience the game, check the dates on each games population during that weekend and you will see where all the pop went
Yea I had no motivation to even try season 5. Ended up back on eso 😆
This game suffered from the new age "release a broken mess and fix it for the next 2 years" syndrome but the issue is with an MMO game, you cant miss out on a playerbase for 2 years like singleplayer games, that will kneecap an MMO heavily.
Mmos gotta be baked well, not to mention that their content was heavily delayed too because of bug fixing. The bad launch had unredeemable consequences
Well said. You get one shot at a first impression. Would’ve been better off with delaying the game for at least a couple more months
7 months quit looking at this video down memory lane
If you're hoping and coping that New World turns things around, let me remind you of Rings of Power and wishing that Season two will all the sudden get good. All AGS games suck.
😭 why are they stacking soo many Ls. well at least my Amazon packages arrive on time :)
Put thousands of hours into New World starting from launch, had a great time. I saw all my friends and Company mates quit left and right, so I too left after Season 2. This game had SO much potential, it truly was fun. But it was evident they dumbed down the game over time, became very unbalanced, they ignored PvP, and started chasing profit and revenue... why the F are they trying to go console when PC is their bread and butter. Make the game GOOD retain players, THEN go console. Game Managers have no idea wtf they are doing. And paid DLC when the game is DYING... WTF were they thinking? Seems like they are just milking the players that remain and likely cancel it, just like the other games they have COMPLETELY abandoned and failed at developing. I do not trust Amazon Games. They shaft players constantly.
@@dragonfalcon8474 it’s mind blowing how they handled the game. It only serves as an example of what not to do now
@@Nyce-Gaming AGREED!
Doing a fine job here Nyce, Your takes are decent and relatable. Appreciate your efforts, keep the channel going.
Truly means a lot
I've been playing since launch (7k hrs) and quit 2 days after my most recent video. The video was a jab at exploiters showing I don't need any to kill them. Well, 2 days after I posted it, I was given a 24hr ban for the very exploit I refused to use. I assume AGS doesn't have any semblance of a system that can accurately identify cheaters or exploiters. I worked at Activision and if their system is anything like year 1 of Warzone or earlier, they have all types of devs in a Slack channel documenting their personal play experiences and asking for random players to get bans. Similar to a player reporting but with a much higher turnover due to nepotism.
This was so sad to read. After 7k hours that would’ve been the last straw for me too. I truly don’t understand the thought process behind these decisions
I think that you are absolutely right. I had 1442 hours (not consistent)in the game from launch, as well as having participated in all the Alphas and the Beta. Brimstone Sands brought me back for a little while and the expansion brought me back for a short time. I enjoyed the game, for the most part, but it was never good. Adequate, would be the highest I could judge it. I believe that Amazon has written off the game and the current player base. Your guess about rebrand/relaunch was something I haven't heard elsewhere but does strike me as the most likely scenario.
Yea I think it’s their only option… assuming they care enough to do that and haven’t written it off
The 5 lvl paywall after lvl 60 killed the game. Returning players cant enjoy new content without buying it.
I’m actually mad I forgot to mention this. Great point dude 😔 you literally can’t play without the expansion in an effective manner
@@Nyce-Gaming my friends who tryed to came back just couldnt play with the gearscore gap.
The day AGS announced there would be no more content for at least 6 months, with relatively little new content since launch, my son and I quit. We'd been playing since release with one break during the last big content drought after Brimstone.
We gamers often talk about games with massive potential, and New World is one of those. Unfortunately, the team running this game can't seem to pull themselves together and make a coherent live service product. Meanwhile, most of us are now off playing indie games that put AAA (or AAAA) games to shame. Helldivers 2 is one of the most fun times I've had in many years and it's an indie dev team, doing live service very well, at a $40 price point.
It seems the smaller the studio the better the game or more worth your time the game is
ff14 type rebrand is wishful thinking but if it happens they should also fire the entire dev team and get new ones. we all know that's not happening. this june announcement is just console release, most likely without crossplay because ags is ran by a bunch of idiots, and the pvp island, a literal bland free for all pvp island lmao. this game is not getting past 2025
Over 5500+ hrs played by the end of season 3 and I haven’t been back since. I had so much hope in the game because it wasn’t like any other mmo on the market at the time. I haven’t been as patient with no mmo like I had been with NW. But the devs unfortunately and it’s obvious…has put NW in the backseat and is now being used as a test dummy for lack of better word for LOTR.
yea it definitely seems like a practice ground for the lotr mmo dude :(
They are making fun of whoever is dumb enough to still play their stupid game. They are good trolls
😂😂😂
I am having a nyce day thanks for asking
When you go from a playerbase of 990k to 6k, and still keep the same developers.
Time for change or something new
T-Bagging has increased dramatically in PVP . Players are toxic in mutations and leaving the dungeons. Bugs are in huge amounts. This has made me quit the game a few days ago.
why… why… why would the community continue to troll and infuriate the little people they have left. Now that’s one less person filling up the slow matchmaking smh. Sry to hear
I have like 3k hours in the game. I quit as well. YOU MADE THE CORRECT CHOICE!
Worst MMO devs by far. I hope they lose their LoTR license so we don't have to go through that inevitable sh*t show on their garbage game engine.
I truly think what they are letting happen to new world is already killing faith for their LOTR MMO. can’t wait to see how cautious this makes people
For years I gave them feedback asking for proper support for companies - there was no motivation to join or stay in a company. You can still party with 4 friends for dungeons or PvP. And signing up for a War was by faction, not company.
"But", you say, "it is the company that officially declares war that gets the territory." Our company did more than 50% of the PvP work for the declaration for seven straight wars but lost the "coin toss" all seven times. The company disintegrated overnight.
I was there from the alpha/beta to 3.5 months after launch. I quit because I found out that there was no REAL substance to the end game. I was able to get to GS 625 3.5 months after the original launch. Not enough endgame content to retain people like me and friends. We are your old school traditional, Neckbeard, Die Hard PvE players. That is why they have FAILED.
Yea they didn’t consider their end game players and gameplay loop at all smh
As a casual player playing a couple of hours after work, this is the MMO that consumed my nerves the most...As a most PVP player, and having played several MMOS before with not perfect PVP balance, I do not pretend to have an ideal balanced PVP and so on, but mtf this MMO's PVP is weak...
Nope, not dead, I'm playing it right now as I'm writing this. Plenty of people around any town I go and most places in the open world.
You liked your comment quick. Please watch the whole video. I’m not saying no ones playing it. Dead doesn’t mean shutdown
Don't hate the people trying to save your time, bro. You'll give them thousands of more hours and just like us you'll realise you wasted it.
It will come 100%, all that matters is how soon it happens and how much time you actually waste.
I was 3500h in before I learned...hope you do it much earlier, for your sake.
@@arkdesign9517 All time playing videogames can be considered wasted. Every MMO will end, it's just a matter of time. What's important is wether you are having fun. And right now I'm having fun playing New World.
F sad
New World is so friggen dead. They need to shut the servers down. Right now.
there’s still hope! wait til June! 🥹 lol
I stopped playing this game when they started with leveling gear…. leveling up gear is so stupid. I thought the game was great until that came along.
Eh. I'd say that you were right about it being "fine" from a limited point of view. As an entire game, though, it hasn't been fine since about 5 weeks after launch. Which means likely since beta, really, and the beta play + first 5 weeks of gameplay that I enjoyed was based on having too little info.
Yea that’s the thing . A game will feel fun and fine as a newer player who didn’t experience what u did or didn’t run out of content. Just in this comment section alone there’s a player who just started yesterday and enjoying it for example
@@Nyce-Gaming from someone who likes to play "the whole game", crafting should have been better thought out (with zero RNG for traits) from the start. Then there would have been a stable market for materials, encouraging people to play the whole game. And the influence system should have been there at launch. A de facto gatekeep on large-scale pvp was a bad move too. Should have been open pvp for resources, forts, flag points or whatever, from the start. And if your company can hold down your territory in real time, you lose it. Lots of stuff. But that is water under the bridge.
@@bminturn RNG crafting is the worst idea ever lol
@@Nyce-Gaming it made farming MOST materials useless because no one is going to pay a "fair" price for your time if they may need 100 attempts to get the item they want. Just stupid.
I just decided to download it after not really enjoying it from launch, first thing I notice is my characters world is just missing, had to transfer. already a bad sign. next is seeing only 3 servers all with a "LOW" population, and after logging in the game looks and felt *exactly* like how I left it. super disappointing to see a game funded by literally amazon struggle to do anything interesting years later. shame. I want a good mmo to play!
@@RandyRelish99 oh man I completely feel this one. 24hr peak is 4500. Now if you divide that among all the servers… it’s sad
new world has ugly toons, ugly armor, ugly combat, ugly npcs ugly everything, dead game
😭😂 well damn. I will say. New world has theeee ugliest character models in mmo history
No pain no gain bro, thats how you will play great game. New world will comeback. And if you dare to play it again, you died
I wonder when throne and liberty comes out if AGS will feel that it will be direct competition and hurt NW even more
Weird how they’ll be handling both. Wonder if it’ll distract their focus from nw a little bit 🤔
@@Nyce-Gaming I felt it was kinda weird to have a NDA for that closed beta test. I won’t get into it, but you’ve also played KR ver. So not sure why it’s secretive. But distraction, most likely.
The whole we got something big in June but can’t say what it is but it’s big is a bad move. Say it, tease it, but if you can’t do either don’t say it. Just leads everyone speculating what it is and from their track record, just leave people disappointed when they say whatever it is
Theres multiple teams that operate in ags. Throne won't hurt new world ags is just a publisher . If anything hurts new world it's more resources being sent to LOTR. Also throne is just going to be dead on arrival. Game is already pretty dead in korea.
@@mgw5377 have to disagree on that last sentence
RIP New World, we hardly knew ye...i do hope it gets better with more content in June but I'm not holding my breath on that one >_>
Yea I’m not 100% against returning barring some sort of huge revitalization or improvement, but yea I ain’t holding my breathe either lol
Bro's brain turns to putty without the comma
"On the developer stand point" I think he meant versus the players, not among the creators...
That’s a good and possible perspective. Hadn’t considered that being how the question was asked, but this makes sense
GIVE US THE ORIGINAL NEW WORLD GAME. THE HARDCORE SAND BOX PVP FULL LOOT GAME !
Dude this game in mainteance mode since release, brimstone was created by old crew that is no longer here. We have solid history of their updates in 3 years, anyone who expect anything meaningfull in June is just stupid.
Maintenance mode is a reality
Played from launch, really was ready for a new MMO, but not long and I found myself just standing around, spending more time reading forums. Never happened to me before. It was depressing. Logging in felt more like a chore, I had paid, tried to get some value from it, but couldn't. After 1000 hours or so, many of them just spent standing around, I quit. Tried return once, got the same feeling almost immediately, uninstalled. Didn't come back for the mounts. Don't think anything could bring me back, and I'd not ever pre-pay for an Amazon game ever again, I'd wait for some months, seeing how reviews are going, if at all.
New World felt soulless to me, passionless, dead inside and out, purely created to make the company money, not because anyone actually had love for it or a vision. Dread to think how they will utterly slaughter Lotr with that attitude.. but hey, we still got Standing Stones actually investing love into Lord of the Rings Online (and they even brought old orc and elf camp back in the Ettens). Don't think Amazon will be able to create something even remotely equal, despite new tech, they lack the heart.
They don’t need a rebrand they need to take ownership of the direction of the game and stick to a vision. Along with a way to once and for all balance the combat. Some of us don’t have the time to play the boring PvE to create a new build because they can’t balance the game. All I want to do is log on enjoy OPR not bowpr and log off.
True. That makes sense
Thanks for the vid - I don't think it's dead. I think it was an pre-mature birth and has been on life support. I'm pretty sure it'll be back in Q3 2024
Yea like I mentioned at the end, there’s still hope that they do cpr. Right now we’re rushing it to the emergency room and the doctors said there’s a small chance it’ll live. They will try administering a June announcement or a quarter 3 transplant

They should re-brand it. Building off what it is now could be done but they also need to hire a lead dev who understands MMO end-games. They have a great core and could definitely make this work. It runs well, the combat is good, it looks great. I'll that still play and enjoy NW, but the fact is if any new MMO had released over the past year I'd be playing it (well, any reasonable one, T&L is not that). It is a real shame that WoW, ESO, etc. all have issues with PvP (for awhile now, all had fun times at various points). NW could be the game for PvPers but they never focused on it and that was a missed chance IMO.
@@GP-ur6if missed chance indeed. I would love to see a full rebrand even if it meant skipping a season or something to focus on said rebrand update
4:45 Nyce, I agree with you. It is best to restart the game to make a new beginning at this point. Even AGS has admitted that only %2 of players enjoy this game which dominates everything and thy are aware these %2 are the main gold providers to gold sellers where RMT is real in this game and these subjects and many other problems affect the game in a negative way...
If a restart happens, only these %2 of the so called elite players and guilds will complain, and at that point AGS needs to choose for real: %2 or %98 is more important for their game?
Archeage is closing very soon fully at 27th of June. All of our years of efforts are gone, similar to Tera Online, and now it is time for New World if AGS does not fix itself...
Thanks to AGS, worldwide population dropped to around 5k-6k sth... EU servers are 3 and only around 3k-4k players active online most of time currently... Soon, New World is going to close soon too. AGS does not care or listen any feedback or what players say and there is no solid roadmap for long term gameplay. Instead, AGS says that without New World there is no new LOTR mmorpg. NW players are laboratory test subjects for new LOTR mmorpg, AGS has abandoned New World already for new LOTR mmorpg...
It does feel like this. Like we are just a lotr testing ground. EU pop that bad!?
Really disappointing, it had so much potential. Some of the best pvp I've ever experienced, but its hard to see a pathway to recovery now
3:40 'from the developer's standpoint'
Interesting qualifier...
Edit: you caught it too. Yup.
lol yea. A lot of commenters think he meant the players have given up, but that makes sense too
June announcement is them closing the pc servers and them opening up console. Appreciate the vid. ❤
😆 thanks! Oh man if that was to happen lol
i would actually play this again, not sure for how long, if it came to console
Ive just returned back to new world to find the population dead and how unhappy people are. But to be honest im still loving the gameplay and think its a great game. I dont know what theyre gonna have to do to save it, the end game just doesnt keep you around
Yea it’s unfortunately one of those games I’ve seen people check out for 2 weeks or so after a season launch then take a break or quit. The gameplay and combat still cool. Great environment. Good harvesting too
It is in maintenance mode, thats why still didnt got shutted down, how dont you see it? They even said it officially a while ago :D
Man, I remember playing this with y'all all the time 😭. Game just got so stale, same people in PVP with the same damn builds. Had a blast at first tho, game has/had so much potential (ItsMaui)
Yea man soo much potential. Truly some of the most fun PvP 🥲
FF14 relaunch would be the best thing tom do but something tells me they don't have the balls to do it. Amazon would sooner pull the plug.
agreed... I hope they keep faith in nw. too much potential
New World died because Asmongold went back to WoW. Thats why if your game is a on going game, never rely on Content creators, just make 1 time pay single player games so these content creators will buy the game and once they are done, you wont have any cost of keeping the game going. That or you make a game that you force the players to love the characters/story (FF14 and Genshin) and then they stick around, if you are making one base on gameplay and hardcore game play, people will leave the game, because they are not loyal to it, they never built a connection with the game.
Yea I bet theres no content creator big enough to save this game at this point :( I bet asmon ran out of stuff to do lol
I’m a big fan of it and still love it - worth the money imo
Yea, if ya do an hours to price ratio, I’d say it was/is worth the money
the game itself is fine, theres just not enough of the game. Bugs can be overlooked if gameplay loops are refined/solid. New World just needs to revise its gameplay loops with people who actually understand what players enjoy. Doesnt need console release atm but I think honestly the devs leveraged porting the game to console in order to buy themselves more development time to try and save it. I think the devs do care - with evidence from season1-3 where improvements were actually made and it was going in the right direction. Now I think the execs saw the numbers from xpac and said "we'll take it from here" and are calling the shots now. It is what it is, the combat is too good for me to give up on it- and I will probably play until the game officially shuts down or if they do some major change that makes the combat unfun/different, but I understand anyone who quits :p
Well said dude. All real 100%
Amazon made once again enough money to not giving a fuck for its community anymore. was a good game unfortunetly it's doom was just a matter of time
Seems stagnant right now but hopefully they get it turned around
They could have saved some resemblance of population had the gathering been instanced based instead of bot friendly also, the BiS gear should have been earned not crafted.
I think the crafting decision was ok but I see the value both ways. But yea the bot friendly resources was tough to combat 💯
I think they need new management. Scott seems like a nice guy, but it's just a bit silly now.
I quit because it seemed like the team had no idea what their game even is.
TLDR. Every single aspect of the game is broken and felt bad. Almost to point that it feels sabotaged.
They killed arena, as in 0 Players, where you could queue all day and never see one match,they did it in one patch and never tried to fix it
They killed OPR by turning it into DOORPR and only fixed it on the delayed season 5, but also they made note to say they need to keep the PVE players in a PVP mode happy?!?!?
The seasonal content was a snooze fest, just a massive damage sponge with boring mechanics. No other real options, so forced boring content.
Influence races were added, great idea and saw alot of participants. It quickly became known that the only way to win was to spam the repeating PVP quests. Basically, avoiding actual PVP was how you win.
PVE content was just as goofy. M3 dungeons were the ultimate example of devs not playing their own game. M3s required so much investment to actually compete, having a PVE set, changing the gems in every piece. I saw people requiring you had two sets of armor, with different gems. Want to run a new dungeon well...sorry you would have to switch them for each one. So choosing to do multiple different M3s felt bad. Dungeons had mechanics that hid their own mechanics.
I really wanted to play them but trying to find players for them was pulling teeth.
They also didn't scale any of their high-end content with the expansion and the level increase. Sandwurm was for cosmetics only and dark matter when it was hard to get. Trials? What are trials? Oh that Powerleveling thing? Right gotcha.
Crafting high-level items required immense amounts of gold, and i am pretty sure that anyone who crafted 700 GS most likely bought gold. Not everyone but I personally didnt know anyone who did it with out.
So not only did you have to grind it or spend a bunch of gold to level it you were met with a 150k bill for trophies and 200k for the gear. Want to grind for it yourself? Extremely small chance to drop meant this was near impossible. I did hundreds of chest runs and got 0 of the items i would need.
Dont get me started on Wars.
Sorry but they are just incompetent on every level. I am not even sure a Realm Reborn would convince me to come back just to watch them patch the life out of their own game and refuse to address any of the obvious design flaws.
Well said. Them not scaling the sand worm trial showed how little they cared bout previous content. I think when I started getting 1hr arena ques and realized no cross server queuing would happen, it was time to move on
@@Nyce-Gaming Spend all that time making the Sandwurm and then just leave it to rot? They need content and it's wild they just did nothing with it. I can't imagine scaling it and increasing the rewards would be too much work. Same with the Trials.
Don't worry though they will add swimming and everyone will be happy. 😅
Numbers look even more abysmal now
@@timewhite95 yea I got really ahead on this one lol. Seen it coming
New World at launch was peek gaming
That’s how I felt around season 3 🥺
played alpha beta and at launch loved it for a few weeks then quit out of lack of things to do. came back for brimstone update was fun for another week or two but then quit agian. i just dont know if i can bring myself to play anymore.
See you in June!
Fingers crossed!
Had a fun time at launch getting to level 60, but the post game was so stale so quick
Especially if PvP not ya thing
I first started olaying last spring abut May, played abut 4 months, i uninstalled and quit because it wasn't enjoyable i had more fun playing Starfield and ESO...thats saying a lot about the New World game and its longevity and quality
Well said. That really does say a lot. ESO has its problems but not new world level problems at all
@@Nyce-Gaming yeup definitely
I kinda get emotional by this lol. New world holds some of the deepest gaming memories for me.
Me too… I’ll never forget season 3 and 4 😕… very good times
It's frustrating since so many people care and WANTED this game to be good... but for the price, it was a dollar decently spent. I'd do it again. Still interested in what is going to be the "big" news for June. Maybe it's that Sony/Microsoft dropped the ball and saw how incompetent they are. Or Amazon has their own new console coming out lmao
lmao at Amazon console 😂 who knows. may the June announcement is free battle pass with Amazon prime
@@Nyce-Gaming ooof, still not worth lol
@@windy653 😂😂😂 truuuuuue
Full reboot is a must. Also needs to take way longer to get to max lvl. We blow the leveling that’s the best part doing MSQ. Brackets for opr is also needed 20s, 30s, ect. Even with a relaunch I think it’s too late. Love you new world RIP.
Yea a relaunch with biiiiig changes is the only savior for this game
screw OPR, that was the final nail in the coffin for open world pvp. "hey why go out and adventure when you can queue for OPR while afk in town". disgusting gamemode!!! 0/10 IGN! :P but seriously
new world was at its best when it released, there should've been a lvl cap then unlocked lvl with later updates and stuff while they worked on the issues, everyone enjoyed low lvl pvp
Yes I hear good stories bout that
Such a shame with all the lost potential. I started playing after watching your first video and live streams afterwards, I had a lot of fun while it lasted. If with you though, I uninstalled.
:( I was having sooooo much fun man....
@Nyce-Gaming I am back on ESO after a year plus having fun again. Trying out Arcanist for the first time, I'll be in Cyro shortly mixing it up and I can't wait.
One things for sure: this June will make or break this game.
this theeee determining factor for the future
new world isnt dead until we see wtf they have been keeping a secret for June, if its not something insane then yea the game is done.....kinda. if it drops on console then they will keep the game alive
Weird thing is June isn’t going to be when we get it, but just the announcement of something and the game still bleeding players. I hope it’s a console release and if it is, it HAS TO BE cross play. Only thing that can help the population at this point. I hope things turn around. As I said at the end, if not dead, it’s in life support :(
Why it is failing is too much to say in a forum. New World is fun. The leveling is now solid to good, the expeditions/dungeons are good, PvP combat is good... the issue is end-game simply doesn't work right and it is a bunch of little mistakes that add up to an end-game that is not engaging enough. Now, at launch it was not ready and burned so many that they'll never come back but if they had launched with an MMO like it was this time last year, it would have faired far better and then build off this. But bottom line, these devs are clearly not gamers or at least not MMO gamers. They do not 'get it'. They have gotten better at balance and a number of things but they simply don't understand how to make an MMO end-game that will hold players and it isn't because of lack of content, it is because of lack of design since they cannot properly sustain either PvP or PvE players.
👏 well said!!! New world should have LAUNCHED with the amount of stability and gameplay it had around season 3ish. And so now it’s forever playing catch up which sucks for end game players steadily wanting engaging content
Always knew this Dev team was a clown show how tf do u get caught cheating in your own game... and in PVE to top it of what a bunch of losers.
Man I so want to enjoy this game, I’ve installed and uninstalled it repeatedly. For me the crafting is broken (everyone can do everything), economy is broken, spawning of enemies boring AF, but mostly I can not buy into the initial story line, I don’t want conquistadors and fantasy, I just can’t make the jump. This travels into gear looking dumb and muskets IMO have never had a place in a fantasy MMO (hi WoW boys and GW2). Let’s see how many more times I install, uninstall before Ashes comes out looking for something this game just doesn’t deliver despite it being beautiful with great combat.
Agreed man. The environment is great looking but so many other issues like the ones you mentioned. AOC when!?! :(
dev team just grabbing amazon money they have no idea what they doing core gameplay is really good but damn there is nozhjing to do 2+ years of doing whole lot of nothing
One… one opr map… man…
They were better off releasing it as it was originally designed--- a survival pvp game. Now, because of the engine used, which cannot handle large group pvp or fix the desync issues, it was probably wise to shift focus. But they could'nt afford to wait 2 more years to release the game. EIther way the fate of NW was sealed from the start thanks to Lumberyard
True. They indeed should’ve stuck with their original vision or at least gave it a little more to before releasing. And yea lumber yard probably also to niche of a tech to hire developers easily for too lol
the game is not dying
I just explained for 20 minutes how it is. do you have a statement to better rebuttal this other than just disagreeing? every day the population is getting lower than it EVER has been. may not be shutting down but to say it’s not dying is ignoring the data presented
If you want to know why the game will never improve look at scott lanes imdb page and then ask yourself why is he heading an mmo. Also as of now me watching this video it has only 5000 players in game
Holy sh** sad to see man
Man definitely miss running into you and atlas in opr
Good times
The game died at lost ark release. When they give up PvP by giving priority for pve. We can talk about easy asf Raid too.
Or even when they tried end game breaches and die like casuals during the first months
😕 yea their launch makes it hard to make a comeback to this day
They fucked up, keep new weapons coming and add opr maps, world bosses
This all that’s needed. ONE. ONE. ONE OPR MAP THIS WHOLE TIME
Played more than 1k hours, deleted it last week.
Yea sadly it’s for the best. I feel like a lot of people gained hard drive space within the last month or so
What if they are going to sell to a different developer, and that's why they cant talk about it. The developers are not giving up on it, they are just changing developers. I have never played this game, and im sure it's just a crazy, very improbable scenario. But that was the first thing that popped into my mind while listening to the developers.
Definitely possible. I bet that would cause players to lose faith in the game and AGS even more however. I could see it happening 🤔
died weeks after release
This is indeed technically true I suppose lol
8:26 made a video when mutated dungeons come out, they even can complet m3 ( has 10 level in those days)
I love new world they just need to tend to their end game experience.
Agreed
You won't find other mmo with the combat as good as New World. You will be back just like many other people who left but couldn't find greener pastures. That is because onece you taste NW's combat, anything else is garbage.
I do like new world’s combat. And as I stated, I’m not quitting 100% and may revisit it if things change. I do however think that without major change that’s unlikely. Think about it. New world combat is amazing RIGHT NOW , yet that’s not enough for me and apparently a lot of others. People want to see content, end game, population, care, transparency, and more. Combat will not be enough to get players back or at the very least retain them.
Bro, the combat is boring and has zero weight to it. 90% of combat is spamming Mouse 1 and dodges are far too spammable. It's boring easy mode dogshit gameplay
@@arkdesign9517 damn bro, then go back and play your favourite point and click, tab target garbage in whatever game you think has better combat
@@FinchFinley I did. So did everyone else.
@@arkdesign9517 the combat wasnt perfect. they should have made it you can only dodge 2 times in a row MAX. and you were supposed to get punished for dodging twice in a row (0stam punishment). but it was all buggy and made no sense. you could do a 50 stamina cost dodge when you had 1 stamina point remaining lol... & dodging at 51 stamina was a cheat code basically, because you didnt get punished for having 1 stamina remaining lol
but if they listened to myself and other pvpers who no lifed the pvp they could have balanced it way better. its a shame they don't just hire people as "PVP developer" and thats their entire job, honestly.
ff14 style wont work as they didn't have time to rework it at all as time spend trying to fix, Can't relaunch using the same crap
"It's really big news! I can't say what but omg!" Feel like I just lived this somewhere recently 🤣
I’m waiting for him to see it 😂😂😂 I watched it back after recording and was like wait that’s basically what Jamie did
@@Nyce-Gaming 🤣
i was looking for some mmorpg to start play,i find New World,then i start to look on youtube videos about this game, its new game,only 2 years old and i find video with name "returning player ..." that is when i get that this game is dead
sad times, game looking pretty good
i think game was neglected because of new game they are planning to launch.
Indeed. It’s sad to see. I think they know know matter how good they do, public perception is ruined so they’re putting more focus into T&L and LOTR
Damn that’s why y’all stopped playing. Welp,saved me some time and money🙏🏾
yea wish you could’ve tried it in its prime while we were playing. best PvP I’ve had, but now… yea you saved some time 😆
So we aren’t going to wait for the June annoucement and stuff? We just gonna say f-it and move on? Interesting take.
Thats the take you got? Thats not the vibe presented. I spoke on the June announcement a lot in this video. Last chapter especially. I personally am taking a break unless a big june announcement occurs like apparently many others are :(
@@Nyce-Gaming so I can’t have that take? I can’t express how I think it feels?
@@Grimmnight16 when did I say you couldn’t? Apologies I think something was misunderstood. You said “we aren’t going to wait until June. We just gonna say f it and move on” then stated my take was interesting. That’s all I was responding to. You haven’t posted a take yet except that mines is interesting. Sry for the confusion
@@Nyce-Gaming my bad, I’m must be
Losing it
For me, the last nail on the coffin were the mounts in OPR. Now OPR is full of mercenaries running like zergs from point to point and it destroyed the team play completely.
Duuuuude I saw a post about this! I haven’t seen, but it sounds like one of those ideas good on paper, but horrible in practice. Bet it disrupted group play and trivialized pushes towards the middle objective. I bet groups of 6 back capping easily lol
@@Nyce-Gaming I stopped playing about 4 days ago because of this. For me this was clearly a desperate decision because they have nothing new. They knew it was a mistake to activate them in OPR because when the last expansion came out mounts were not available in OPR. And the thing is nobody was asking for it, there were no complaints or posts requesting mounts in OPR, so why? Why not a fair matchmaking system? Anyways, in my opinion this decision is a clear message to me to play pve or fuck off of the game with my pvp wishes.
@@NoAlias536 yea I remember when they first introduced mounts on the PTR. Mounts were allowed in opr then they went out their way to remove that saying it was an accident. Now look at them. No sense of conviction
I agree completely. I only solo queue OPR, and now it's absolute cancer as a solo player. Back capping is not feasible anymore because a 5 stack premade will just show up instantly and stop it. Also, the ambush style game play has disappeared because it's no longer feasible to ambush someone on a mount because even if you do dismount them, they fly 10 meters ahead and aren't within range to attack.
@@kurtdha smh back cap was most of my play….
funniest comment "if they had a good road map" don't even have one :) AGS is so bad and Scot needs to go ! has no clue what he is doing and no clue about this market. Any shinning light on the market Nyce ? PvP was good till they broke it !
yea bro they literally left us with no true road map. Btw something I forgot to emphasize. The ANNOUNCEMENT of something coming in June. That doesn’t mean the content/thing is HAPPENING in June 😂
But honestly I’ll probably play some T&L when it comes to NA just for the combat. Tho it failing in KR isn’t hopeful. Just buying time until ashes of creation this year. ESO a good shout too
Ash of creations maybe the new meta coming soon
They're pulling a zos fr
It's sad tho because I thought NW would be the AMMORPG king after playing it a couple years ago
Another mmo with wasted potential
They fucked w the smoothness of the combat and movement.
The only thing the game had going for it.
GG RIP
Time to try out ESO
Recommend over new world right now. And yea idk who asked for thise movement changes. I’m assuming it’s a game pad thing or something
eso can be fun but if you're hoping for better combat and movement you be disappointed. Movement feels too light and floaty
@@mgw5377 Yeah I agree. I played it earlier and it makes me even more sad how New World squandered their game 😭
The system was so unique and had so much potential
Try GW2. The base game is free and you can compete with endgame characters in pvp as early as level 2.
Combat also puts new world to shame.
@@arkdesign9517 Yeah I have thousands of hours on GW2 and while it does have amazing combat. It's different than what New World offered. New World felt so much more grounded and impactful
