New World

So I can tell you right now that the graphics in this game aren't THE BEST OF THE BEST, but are really fucking good. The environment and theme looks great, very much like a more modern ESO. The actual skins and textures on weapons/armor are very bland and basic, but based on their current development rate I'm 90% sure they have a massive texture drop coming in soon that will basically change everything. They drop patches that are bigger than most MMO's every 1-3 months now.

The reason their graphics may not be over the top, shiny Korean MMO garbage style, is because this is a large-scale PVP game. If everyone's fucking glinting and shining and every particle has Ray Tracing how the FUCK are you going to handle that in a 50v50? You aren't. They need to be able to reasonably scale everything within the games own graphic parameters have the "good" look good and the "dogshit potato PC" also look tolerable. A lot of those GRAFFIX OVER GAMEPLAY games don't have that. The second you set it below medium you're playing fucking Clay Fighter 63 1/3.

I just hope the graphics engine forces grass/bushes even on lowest settings. I think it's the first pvp MMO with a prone position. (Guess SWG did)Edit: Thanks, Animosity.

It's a theme park MMO now

It's both. 50v50 is how you take and control territories and 20v20 is your BG's. There's also OW stuff that is... less rewarding in its current implementation.

There is still Forts and Sieges and 50 v 50 PVP. They just made shit to do besides that and to get to that.

Cool story. Ffs are you playing or not? Will you be a reliable member of the FOH territory control group?

I'm here to play both sides, undermine the guild and support the trannies wanting vicodin and xboxes.

If I play it will be with PRX.

Too many leftists and pedos with the FoH tag.

In all seriousness, PRX is a phenomenal guild for large scale PvP, I would recommend if this game is one they play

Are they not in crowfall with a lot of the other major pvp guilds? Basically built for GvG.

Most of these decade+ guilds are usually really like 2-3 people who do the work and then about 10-20 hanger ons that suck or live in the glory days. Watched all sorts of "ELITE PVP GUILDS!!!!!11" get destroyed in Arche Age, Last Oasis, Atlas, Guild Wars 2, etc by just the most recent hardcore poopsocker guild that recruits the best talent. They usually end up toxic as fuck and corrupt and fizzle after one or two games, but the old guard just can't hang anymore.

May Update Notes

Surprisingly ahead of schedule. Was expecting next Tuesday.

Takeaways
- Discoverable fast travel points -- no longer limited to teleporting to settlements!
- Coin was rebalanced; no longer always drops from NPCs, capped at 500k (player) and 5mil (company)
- Houses are now tiered with increasing perks and cost more money if you want a better house.
- Mana regen was normalized across the board; Focus no longer boosts it
- Open world PVP rewards for killing long-living players
- New social window
- Group vote kick
- Expeditions are now gated behind having a Tuning Orb. It sounds like "you need a key to do it" to me.

Where my invite?

Nice!

*Looks more like a balance pass over a lot of shit
everything from combat, attributes, additional looks to armor/weapons, gathering, gold rebalance (gold cap for players? 500k), xp leveling rework, faction missions,
*Player titles (account/player wide varieties)
*Fast travel points
*Elite POI for overland
*Vote based group kick added
*Social UI menu

Old fella chatting again. I hope there's some fishing spots near forts so I can fish and watch people get wreckt.

Love how it's coming along but the fast travel points kind of bum me out. I really hated TP'ing all over the place constantly in FF14, as it took me out of it constantly. I get having SOME speed-ups for travel, but fast travel points all over the map is too much.

To each their own. Running somewhere is fine the first dozen times. By 100, you fucking hate it and want the run to die
