Wasn't meant to be this way but because animation cancelling is baked into the engine and can't be changed to much

You know they removed animation cancelling, because they believed the skill gap was to high?

Just logged in, animation cancelled bow aoe with block. What the fuck is a 90k parse WITH OUT animation cancelling? You need to weave your light attack every 1 second or you won' hit your optimal parse, which means you need to, wait for it, animation fucking cancel the light attack.

What? We play the same game?

Anyone have an extra closed beta key so I can check this out before the July stress test? :)

I'm an idiot nm :)

New video today. A lot of generic mmo spin. Most notable for me was looking at the various UI parts and definitely feel like there will be a min. required crafting for endgame.

Like everything else in the game, all crafting is easy enough to solo. Game is more solo play than group. You can pretty much be a master in all crafts/gathering skills in a short amount of time, a month or so. This is not a game that you are going to want to rush through. Anyone can tag whatever you are fighting and also get exp and loot, no real reason to group, at this point.

IMO, this game needs endgame contents. It would have to be 3 faction RvR in PvP, or raiding in PvE. 50v50 castle siege between guild simply won't cut it.

Fuck raiding, shits tired already. I would love some good challenging group content instead.

This is just going to be one of those games I'm going to have to play just to see if I like it or not. That video was boring af, though. Nothing really riveting, or intriguing. Really nice visual landscape and NPC's though. Someone already said it best from what I have gathered - the games going to launch like ESO and need several patches before its actually got enough content to warrant playing it.

I still think this is a trial run for the new LOTR MMORPG that Amazon is doing.

I think I need a change of pace, with FF14 having its content delay, so I might sell my soul to Amazon to try out beta. I've been very curious after researching NW and watching all the videos and reading the articles laying around.

It looks and sounds very nice, but yeah the features don't win points for originality at this point.

New World has neolithic gameplay PvE and unconsequential, instancedn queued PvP, if you're looking for a FF14 break your disappointment will be absymal.

Anyone looking for a WoW/FF14 replacement from NW will be disappointed -- Ashes of Creation will be the new hotbar MMO king. NW will take a serious chunk from BDO and TESO. Anyway about 3 weeks now and the masses will get their hands on this and that's really what needs to happen at this point.

it's also a great time to open up a new world for people to fuck around in. WoW is boring af to actually play and ff14 is just gonna do what ff14 does
