New World
- Thread starter zero_name
- Start date
Seems to me like they spent more time setting up the framework to do those things quickly, than actually make the game they wanted.
The beta seems far improved on that end. I'm excited at the pace they have stuff coming out, personally - it means future content won't take too much work at all.
Also really excited to see when O3DE hits New World. Think they're using the 1.x version of Lumberyard.
O3DE, when completed, will be SO MUCH BETTER than current LY.

I hear what you're saying, and you aren't wrong. The thing is that I wanted to continue my experience of the beta where I left off the day before. That was not possible, so I chose to not start over again.
I'm fully aware that when the game actually comes out I will have to start over from the beginning. That's completely understandable.

I think its more they had no clue what game they wanted. It started as one thing, switched to another, switched to another. All the pve content(dugenons) have all been added in recently. The game really has/had an identity crisis. Almost as if the management had no clue what type of game they wanted and listened to a different "expert" each time they made changes.
It would of been interesting to see what the original setup would be like after this many years of development. iirc the original game was a survial game with building. A conan exiles type game.

Pretty much. People are so full of desperate hope that they are ignoring all the glaring problems. I genuinely hope I'm wrong and this game pulls off a miracle, because right now I don't have shit to play. I'm playing a bit of ff14 and a bit of p99, but nothing I'm really supper passionate about or having a blast on. So I'd kill for a good MMORPG to play every day, but this fucking game does not look remotely close to that and I think it's going to be dead in a month as well. I won't be surprised if the actual release is way smaller than this so called beta.

you could just try it and not rely on people to tell you what you do or don't have fun doing?

I literally had zero interest in the game when it was a survival game. As soon as I heard that, I was done with it. The only reason I bought it to do the closed beta is because they changed the game design away from that model.

Well like I've said before, this isn't a MMORPG in the vain of EverQuest, WoW, FFXIV, etc.
It is very misleading that the industry calls games like New World a MMORPG. I mean, I get it. It technically IS a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, but the term MMORPG means more than that in the eyes of most customers that grew up on this genre.
They really need to come up with a new term for games like New World.
It's a Fantasy-Based Online PvP Game with unlockable progression. FOPvPwUP. There.. new term.

People go by reviews. Nothing new. For me personally, I have Amazon gift cards coming out of my asshole.
Overall, the initial parts have been fun and it's something new to play - but the massive travel sinks here can suck my ass. I spent the majority of my time running place to place because of that bullshit 60 minute zone to Inn timer - I cannot travel to a Camp unless I am at some totem or something ? (I might be missing something here) but even then it's typically 700-1000m to the quest area anyway and it takes 5 minutes to fucking get there.
The problem comes down to I want to play the game not hit "=" and watch Netflix.
They need to set the cool down timer for the Respawn to Inn to 15 minutes tops so you can at least get back to the quest hub in a quicker fashion. Even WoW had minimization here since Vanilla. Otherwise the stupidest work around is to respawn out of the menu back at the Inn and take a durability hit in which you do not lose that much gold anyhow for repairs. It's cringe worthy design here. Quit using travel as a time/level sink.
Other than that, there are a lot of initial things here that look good under the hood from at least the territory aspects

Slim pickings on the horizon and everyone of the upcoming mmo's will be picked apart ad nauseum and thrown into the dumpster by the mmo herd. Deserved or not.

Be honest, you were never going to play anyway. Your posts since it started was "is anyone really going to play this game past X days, I watched some streams". Yet you keep clicking on the thread.

Sounds like people are retarded. There isn't an absurd amount of running unless that's how your playing the game IMO. Maybe do some gathering while you travel or other stuff?
You can fast travel to destinations once you level up a bit and finish quests higher that give you the mats for it, along with travelling to places your faction controls. Sorry the game didn't start you with a sippy cup and a turbo insta dragon mount from the jump. In WoW you didn't get a mount until level 40 and hearth was 60minute cooldown. The barrens was a 10minute+ autorun alone. Have you ever played an MMO?
Admittedly, they probably are making the world feel a bit larger by not having mounts though, but I think the world size feels "good", not great, right now running through like two of the available areas. By 60 might feel smallish. I don't think you need mounts at low levels.

. New world will stand on it's own and you will be wrong. Your edgelordiness, you're starting to sound exceptionally pissy about nothing meeting your standards and everything being too sharp kneed. Are you sure MMOs are your jam?- 1

Just turned on twitch - how the hell is someone 59 already since I thought it slowed to a crawl after 20ish?

Oh Jesus Christ Guy - Travel should NOT be used as a time sink - quit defending the fucking obvious. I have the mats - it's idiotic design that I spend half my play time running from spot to spot in the time it takes without any mount feature to ease that pain as you level up. And trust me, I know how to maximize gain vs travel. The back and forth is mind numbingly boring as fuck - and the tactic shouldn't be used any more and if you think travel time means "Coddling" you're a fucking moron.
Once you got to the barrens you had flight aspects to not have to make that run over and over again either. Have you ever played WoW?
PS: It's ok to point out negative aspects of the game without you flying off the handle.

They were exploiting the 5 min timer on the town board quest thingie and had people in their guild and viewers feed them mats to finish them without actually doing any of the gathering.
