New World

My company got fucked on a war. The mauraders used the ice gauntlet spam exploit to force desync so no ranged attacks did damage to them, which invalidated most of our siege defenders. What a bunch of bullshit

I wonder how many of these desync exploits are coordinated vs just being a bunch of tards spamming IG on the point.

We're pretty sure they knew what they were doing. They didn't put down a single siege weapon the entire match until the gates went down and none of them bothered to even target our siege operators. Green on our server has been heavily exploiting all sorts of mechanics, like some type of exploit that lets them do all 3 PVP quests in less than a minute in a territory and easily push a zone into conflict. They abused the fuck out of that the night before the patch.

Do you mean just finishing 3 quests and not turning them in, and then when the window opens everyone finishes their 3 quests they had waiting? That's not an exploit.

If you mean they can instafinish them from pickup to turnin on refresh cooldown? That sounds like a truly wild exploit and you would see people able to skyrocket levels? Hard to imagine that kind of quest completion power staying hush hush.

Someone had drawn the comparison to Runescape as a spiritual successor-- in terms of NW's progression systems.

Runescape a fair comparison in terms of the spirit of New World, or is it bunk?

I could see some similarities in the spirit of the gathering system and harvesting. But are there more similarities in the overall tone of the game?

Its definitely the most similar to albion. There are pulls from other mmos but that one is easily the closest. Gathering and crafting systems especially.

Meanwhile everyone just compares shit to what they like. This game is basically ff10 with the islandy feel and people being dreamed into existence! No retard its a wow clone. No fuck you its basically warhammer online god I miss that game. Turkish spam. Hey guys I think its like sid meiers pirates. Etc etc.

Why would you get banned? Majority of my skill ups were in a 3 star out of the way hot spot most people don't know about yet or just fishing out in the ocean where I saw no one if you're worried about being in one spot for a long time.

Anytime I see fishing bots in an area I would always drag NPCs to kill them.

I was fishing day before yesterday and this retard kept pulling a wolf around me. It didnt hit me for like 5 minutes and hes strafing all around me. I didnt even know what was going on, and then it dawned on me when the wolf hit me. This mother fker thinks Im a GD bot, lol.

McFly Are you soloing this Myrkgard or w/e, stuff? Or should I move to Reek to solo? I was taking a straight path through the center of the place, not paying attention, running along and this ghost taps me for just a small bit of my health and knocks me out of sprint. W/e, I keep chugging along and then BAM, this BIG fker slams the shit out of me for half my health. I dodge out of that shit, turn around to look - see the Ancient Chest and then realize as I die that its a named 2 hander guy haha! "Ok, you win - ill stay out of your little Hive of death." Respawn at the left fort, run to the objective I was going to and the fort I went to had all 63's in it and they swarm easy.

The copy / paste of these little forts dont bother me, but the difficulty scale has sky rocketed in my mind. All game I was fighting stuff at least 5-9 levels higher than me. Get 60 and 3-5 levels difference is pretty chonky.

Hmm. This has just been our experience for the last 3 wars or so as the meta has settled on our server and each side has at least 15 ice gauntlets. Capture points just have 20 people standing still. It's very weird and nobody fully understands what's happening. They have some really interesting, perhaps good? lag coding that creates some weird stuff. But oddly enough, everything still felt fine. I imagine from their end, they saw 20 of us frozen as well. You just do the damage you can and do the healing you can and try not to clump.

But they've got to do something, because it is only going to get worse as the meta sprinkles down. There are only 3 meta war builds and all 3 cause a ton of aoe lag. If they don't figure it out soon, you can expect to go into every war with this lag issue where 20 people just appear frozen on your screen. Light staff sacred ground is huge offender as well, but ice storm seems the worst.

It's a combination of several games really. The way they have the loot system set up is identical to Warhammer Vermentide 2/Diablo. The harvest/crafting system is similar to Albion Online. It has climbing like that of Assassins Creed and has combat that is sorta similar to Dark Souls but a bit faster paced.

And swimming from fellowship of the ring, of course.

I mean, it is a realistic when I run around in heavy armor. I just sink like a rock and waddle around at the bottom. A+ game design and working as intended *cough*

Pretty much. Any time we go against Mauraders, its MASSIVE AOE spam all the time. People have trouble holding the points as a result. They own 90% of the map and our last purple territory is fucking Reekwater.

AGS needs to fix this shit asap or they are going to have people quitting like they did in Shadowbane

Ran Dynasty at 60 because for some reason I thought 500+ stuff would drop. No dice. So don't waste your time running it more than once.

I think they fixed chests and now I've got way too many refining ingredients. Like, almost 1000 of the green ones, 500+ of the blue ones...not as many common ones but that's because I'm not opening those crates as much.

Engine is good, visuals are good but lack variety, sound is good.

PvE is a pathetic copypaste job through and through. If they had balls it wouldn't even exist and they would have stuck to the original plan of this being more akin to Rust, but I'm sure that didn't fly with the bean counters somewhere during development, so instead we get a bunch of terrible copypaste quest hubs that re-use the same 6 tile and mob sets. Completely miserable bear ass collecting all the way through.

PvP works pretty well on smaller scales, but quickly spirals out of control on the larger scale. Game has the same problems Warhammer did 15 years ago somehow with wars and town battles just being gigantic desync lagfests that barely function. They tried to fix this artificially with player count caps, but it doesn't actually solve the problem and just creates a whole host of new problems like leaders mass kicking players until it fills up with only their company members and shit. Don't even get me started on their fucking autoban system and how the best way to win a war is just spam the /report button on your enemy.

Their original pvp vision would have been a failure. Even this system where pvers get fucked hard by the siege system exploits is going to have repercussions. Sweaty exploiters use borderline cheats to win, jack taxes to max, you can’t teleport anywhere because you run out of azoth, and you can’t do shitall about it

Between that and lack of pve content, I think original prediction of massive Playerbase falloff next month will hold accurate

Although thank fuck for a buff to refinement drops - if you try to level crafting, you will absolutely exhaust your supply in short order. I’ve gone through over 1.5k cross weave and tannin just leveling armoring to 100

Yeah the game is a hot mess, but despite all of this people myself included, still play it. Really highlights the death spiral of the MMO Genre IMO. Just an overall disaster of a game that was poorly changed last minute off some outdated feedback (Valheim anyone?). They should of have just waited another 6 months. They have the cash, just polish the PVE aspect since this game is now an SWTOR/Warhammer/Wow-mini clone. It's not even that much of a sandbox IMO.

Still, because of the shitty state of things I am somehow lvl 48 and slaughtering many bears and wildcats....
