If it is or isn't, is beside the point.

It's not aiming, fps style. It's more along the lines targeting a random weak spot with a specific melee attack, skill, or move, much like a Magic user does by picking the right spell vs a mob magic resistance. Combat is still locked targeting, like you have in EQ, for instance, a mob would be...

Can you explain why, or are you just triggered for no reason? I'd also like to point out that I believe melee combat should be on the slower side, where melee swings are not just auto spammed a mile a minute for dps. and this goes for melee skills also, Melee attacks should be meaningful and...

My rough thoughts on melee are. Melee classes should not have an auto attack. No class should. Spell casters have to click a button to make an attack so should melee classes. If you want to swing your sword, kick, punch, bash, whatever okay, click a hot key just like a magic user has to do...

And the question becomes how you get those people, who are already playing a game, EQ TLPs, P99s, etc., to leave their established graphical chat rooms with dragons for another. Seems like high-risk endeavor, when those people aren't playing for the game itself but mainly just to hang out and chat.

Around where I live finding someone to just show up, late or not, is a huge problem.

huge mistake

Pretty sure this is already a thing. Lol.

At this point the conspiracy theorist in me wants to believe this is some kind of money laundering scheme.

This all sounds like a bunch of scripted NPC dev bullshit that all game developers say. Thanks for nothing.

The internet today is not the same as it was back in 1999. Beta/Alpha testing is not that same as it was back then. Most everything is data mined and known before release. If EQ came out today everything would be known in the matter of weeks if not before release. Those days of mystery and not...

Looks like amazon decided I needed this and just randomly sent me a key.(no charges to my amazon account) Okay. Still most likely won't play it. lol. Never going to Vax or play your game amazon!

They said the turn-based battle system will be changed in the next iteration. I think it's a huge mistake.

Awesome world. I finished the main story around level 26 in about 16 or so hours, on PC. The controls really didn't bother me much. It makes sense to have wasd movement with space as the dodge roll. My build focused on a crits with the healing nade, and the aug that lets you roll back damage...

I hope so, lol. People have only been complaining about it since the beginning of testing. Every single time there was a wipe, people would level to max level and sooner after the testing servers would empty out. It would make sense for them to slow down leveling and fix all the quick leveling...

I'd say most people who don't poopsock NW will get at least a month of fun out of it before they hit that end game wall of boredom. Shitty end game is still shitty and none of the recent changes have changed that. Best thing they could do is slow down leveling speed.

I believe the light armor is they only armor that you can roll in, which is OP when it comes to pvp, also light armor gives you speed. Heavy armor puts your character into a heavy state. Not sure if the stagger stuff is still in but it used to be the meta. Since everyone and their mother is...

This is why heavy armor sucks. Hardly any magic resist and you can't dodge as good. I believe the meta in alpha was using light armor + sword and shield, but that could have changed.

Peddling degenerate shit to his addicted fan base. ( yes, twitch is an addiction to many ) Doesn't care if they and their families end up broke or dead. Comes out an says, " Not my problem " Pretty sure drug dealers feel the same way. Nice.

I think the skills go to 300? If you just focus on it?, Not long at all I was level 20, (in 3days?) with 100+ in mining, 60+ in the other gathering skills. before I uninstalled the game. (instancing was the nail in the coffin, which all future content will be) The problem with new world is that...

75 year old drug and alcohol abuser, I doubt he had much left in him. I'm actually surprised he lasted this long and wouldn't be surprised if the guy was on, or needed, dialysis and wasn't able to get it.

Not sure why they didn't just go with a complete open world design with sharding of " group content areas " That way the people who don't want to deal with random encounters with strangers, in an mmo, can avoid all contact with everyone and those who want to actually run into other people while...

After watching someone play an expedition, this game is a big nope for me. I can already see what the future direction of this game is going to go. Sit in your instanced house, pop into an instance dungeon/raid, rinse and repeat for the life of the game. I will never understand why people want...

Good, fuck queues. There is no reason for a queue in this day and age, outside of streamer cancer. This is the best thing they could do. Launch with a million servers and merge them later in a few months when all the streamers and their NPC followers go back to playing something else. From the...

Same here. I never made a purchase but when I look on my amazon account it shows a 2017 purchase for new world at $0.00. Maybe they gave the old alpha testers a free copy or just a bug.

I'm getting 100+ fps on very high with my 3070 TI FE. Temps around 65c @ 1080p. My monitor is like 8-10 years old, lol, it's the next thing I need to upgrade.

I have only been playing for an hour or so and have already ran into groups of gathering bots. lol.

Is this a joke? How the hell are there queues from a company who has unlimited amount of servers, all over the world, and unlimited money.

Left my house at 6:30am, arrived at Best Buy at 6:37am, counted about 85 people in line, decided to wait knowing they had about 150 cards. Was able to score a 3070 TI, fuckers handed out tickets at 7:30 but didn't open up till 9am, got home at 9:45am.

My only reasoning for this is that all the covid relief ends in sept. (eviction ban, unemployment benefits and food stamp boost are ending) The age group that I saw sitting in line at best buy earlier today were all around 20-25 years old, the group that is getting paid more to sit home than to...

Same. I drove by my local bb today around 4pm and they only had about 20 people camping out. Will check back at 7am. If there are less than 100 people i'll wait, but there is no way I'm camping out for a gpu, not that thirsty. In a few months these things will probably be on sale everywhere.

School is going to be back in, in a couple of months + the unemployment covid bucks will end Sept. 6. cards will be a plenty. Cpu's can already be had on sale for under msrp.

I have not played this since the Settlers and Raiders stuff was added. I recently logged back in to check things out and to do the brotherhood quest line. The end game and pvp are still absolute trash. Nuclear Winter ( the PvP part which is being shut down in sept. ) is filled with majority afk...

No random loot? shame. :)

Isn't this the norm for these " Truebox " servers. EQ can run on a toasters, not hard to get 6+ toasters. I guess they figure the server is going to die in a few weeks from over abundance of loot and no carrot.

Pretty sure a GOG key can be had for around 25-28 bucks on those gray market sites. I'd wait for the sub $20. NMS and FO76 was an easy buy around $13 when everyone was shitting on them. I put 100s of hours into each.

Competition is what made EQ, EQ. Working with your team to beat the other guilds and players to an objective was half the fun. Take away the competition between guilds and players and EQ is just a shit game.

Not enough interest. Those 3k backers are probably the last remaining EQ/Brad fans who still play online games.

The people who want this type of game are generally older and have more disposable income, and the people making this type of game know idiots would give anything to get those EQ feels back. It's the prefect storm of shit.

At this point, if it does come out, why would anyone trust giving them money? You are just asking for disappointment.
