New World

K this game is pretty awesome. It's like a MUCH better Albion Online with combat that's like Dark Souls and Smite. Liking it a lot so far.

Bullshit. 100% they'll add priority for "big" streamers like Asmon. Streamers are WAY too big of a marketing scheme now to have bad press about how long you have to wait in a queue before playing. He'll just be told to log-in off-stream.

That does have a mirror though - people waiting in queue getting pissy while streamers have preference. The Ultimatum league for PoE had a terrible launch combined with streamer pref and the pitchforks really came out over that one. So much so the following league had zero pref. Looking at Twitch right now there's 400,000+ viewers for New World. Is there a need to pick some winners and losers to give special access to?

edit - Asmon is on Babiliary

I got in the game but didn't go through the tutorial as I do not have time to play yet unfortunately - haven't had time to read the thread - tutorial phase is a requirement to add friends? I did manage to log in and stayed there.

I saw your character, so I sent a request. I was spelling Uta instead of Ut. ;p

Yeah, I logged out to get some lunch. I came back and the queue isn't moving at all. I'm done until I can actually play.

Watching asmongold and shroud streaming the game today. I remember a time when streamers had a little bit of pride, wouldn't beg, and wouldn't take stuff on new games they tried.
But these days lol:
Asmon: I sometimes like doing tutorials for new games, I'll be doing one explaining how you guys can send me gold in game.
Shroud: I have a whole chat watching me play and none of them sending me gold, what's going on here.

Sure, could take that as joking around, but it's not something they've only mentioned once for the day, like multiple times hinting at it. If they have that many idiot simps might as well take advantage of it I guess.

My friend trying to log in 8am in the morning.. lol..

Got kicked while getting my kids(Vingolf). Back to a 575 queue. Not too shabby.

so how do i find any foh fags when i get on

Got annoyed trying to talk to multiple people cause chat is f'n weird or laggy? Made a Company with the obvious name. Just send me a tell for an invite "IF" you're marauders.

As a reminder, you can change your faction for free the first time w/no wait.

This looks fun. Do you guys have a guild and do you have space for forum lurkers in it?

Fucking bullshit someone really took name Jozu.

Lame af.

Blattos on Vingolf

Did we decide on faction? We should all get on same page.

Lol 1400 queue first time login. Ouch.

Marauders, on Vingolf.

ty!

Also, can anyone confirm that maxing CON is the best bet for pvp due to dmg scaling and the way maxing dex or str doesnt provide enough of an increase in damage?

Im seeing people maxing CON, saying that the way scaling works in pvp a lvl 30 hits a lvl 50 harder than the 50 hits the 30 etc. Im not sure if true but if so thats gay as fuck. But from what I have seen I do believe maxing CON is needed for pvp at this point. Surviving longer and more health is just better than the small damage bonus from STR and DEX.
