You forgot to mention, but you can get 1 free Transmog token per week per character from elite chests. So it’s still available to people who don’t pay, just pretty tedious. You also get a few from the free season pass.
@@TheLazyPeon it's a 1 token per week on 1% drop chance on elite chests, it requires about 20 hours playing to unlock 1 tmog token, 40 hours if unlucky.
Feels like the game is sorta in a 1.0 state, where most things present now probably should have been in the base game. Definitely a good time to come back to check out the new stuff!
yeah unfortunately that seems to be with most new games, pretty much just rush it so the investors can get money before the hype/desire for people to buy it goes down/away. Even with bigger known companies like Blizzard as in with D4. Their game still missing key things that one would assume it would have at launch or at least gotten fixed within 2-3 months. Not saying it's a shit game but definitely has had bugs, exploits, missing features etc. To me it seems that most games that came out recently and even up to 2 years ago were forced/pushed to be released just so the top people can make more $$.
did i read it wrong? I wanted to play new world cause the mounts and stuff but then I saw the expansion and the inclusion of mounts and new areas was behind a paywall in the dlc section
They still haven't touch all the important core systems, all they have done is rolled the game in glitter and micro-transactions. Let's not forget the territory system that dictates everyone's status in the game. Don't forget the gold distribution to these companies that hold these territories that raise and lower taxes and cost of crafting. You also have the the latency and desync issues they will never resolve by allowing non-regional connections with 300+ pings. And how can you forget the matchmaking system that determines whether you actually have fun in an Arena or OPR PVP match, which doesn't even separate the pre-made from the solos. I could mention the gatekeeping and RNG, but I think you get the point.
@@LilPistacho That's why i don't understand why people complain so much about Ashes of Creation taking so long (when it's not really, it just feels that way because it's a transparent development}, i personally much prefer a game to take its time and get it almost right first go, than games like this that rush due to investors (that AoC doesn't have to worry about) and tank.
You also can get 1 per week in elite chests of any level and the unlocks are forever for any character associated with your account. It could be better but it’s not a terrible system.
No it does not deserve respect. The art department ie enviroment/dungeon/texture/enemy design team deserves praise. Everything else is hugely disappointing, terrible optimization terrible qol, terrible bugs and game breaking problems that affect a large percentage of players taking months to fix with little to 0 communication, problems that have been in the beta and still not fixed, more annoying bugs that have been around and complained about for months and months still not fixed. I'm not pointing fingers directly at x or y dev but something is horribly wrong, could be executives forcing the game to be in this state, whatever it is it's horrible. There is massive rmt going on, hackers running around with no consequence for weeks. The game barely peaks over 10k concurrent players if the game was that amazing and that accessible like the people singing it's praises then it would have more players.
@@cromperer i dont feel the same at all. At least compared to other games I've played, they communicate pretty well. I don't know what "game breaking problems that affect a large percentage of players" is referring to, haven't had something like that since launch (that I can remember). Pretty much every update I can think of has been a good update aside from the weird fireworks thing they did. Can you be more specific with what you think is horribly wrong?
@@crompererPS5 could probably handle it since it’s about on-par with a mid-range PC from last generation and I’ve seen this game run on some absolute jank computers lol
Honestly the changes they have put in makes the game feel so much better then what it was like in release. I made a new character and it's actually a good experience? Like walking all over is still the worse part about it but I didn't dread leveling and had some fun in the process and them actually having voice actors for the story made me actually listen to dialog (granted the story is still pretty meh) If this expansion dosen't bring in a bunch of gamebreaking bugs then New World may actually be a pretty solid mmo
They’ll never make it faster to get around because then people like you would realize it’s a barebones, puddle deep game where walking from point A to point B is 90% of the “gameplay” That along with brainless watered down souls like combat
@@Marchochias Didn't you watch the video? they are literally adding mounts to move faster. I can understand the dislike for the combat but in my eyes it just replaces the same old 1,2,3,4 button rotation combat of tab target into left click and occasionally use ability for extra damage or utility its not like tab target combat was ever exciting it just as boring
as someone with over 1k hours back in the day, it is heart breaking thinking we waiting this long to get basic features like transmog, mounts, and gear sets just to see they are charging an arm and a leg for tthese basic features. I also hater how region transfers are so expensive, it really feels like to get back into the game again i have to pay all this money. they seem to not want players to return. I'm really disappointed with all this news
They need to add trading Caravan. Like in Silkroad - Trader/Hunter/Thiefs Main goal is to bring the stock to another city,village,outpost which rewards you with some decent stuffs if success. Walking with The caravan - choosing your route, protect your goods from the thiefs (players) Will be amazing :))
I was a new player a month or so ago that was completely turned off by the expertise system. Really glad to see they're taking it out. I will definitely be trying the new expansion.
The entire design of endgame was stupid and arbitrary. They had nothing so they created artificial grind. Now, a year later, they are close to having a fleshed out game but I would wager it is still garbage. I like Peon but all he does is cover garbage games.
@@Shmandalf i was endgame shortly after release and I played a while ago also. Spent most of my time farming the same spawn along with 5-10 other people hoping for whatever piece of BiS gear to drop. Not fun. The new quests were mostly running. Just like the entire 1-60 experience at release. Running simulator.
New World studio need to implement more Outpost rush maps in the rotation and do better pvp balance to bring back players. Remove slow on every melee hit, nerf attunment perk, gembit gems bonus dmg and make more and fluid fun weapons
@@Trancer006 dunno don't play it now, kinda broken for wild pvp if guys have been sweating the whole time their gear score is larger and you can't hurt them
Ignore this video completely if you want to start fresh like i did. It's been about a year since i started so everything i knew i forgot, wanted to start fresh and re-learn everything. I joined a Fresh start server and wow, it's really good. If you're not super elite with all weapons maxed like this guy (Which is kinda insane for not playing much?) then give the game another go on a fresh start server. I'll be sticking around for the new expansion and see how it goes. So far so good
The fact that the expansion is going to cost $30USD for 3 mounts, 1 new dungeon, 1 new zone, 1 new weapon and increases to stuff like your level and professions. I definitely expected more content than that for an expansion.
It's 30$ for 3 basic mounts that look laggy af when used and the opportunity to re-grind all of your gear again. Isn't that fantastic? They just pissed on months of people's efforts and there are still baboons in here supporting them, lmao
@@arkdesign9517 That is literally the cycle of every mmorpg. Your old gear becomes completely obsolete. You regrind w/e is needed for new content or even for the sheer shake of having better gear. I'm the first to shiton NW but people acting like this is somehow sth out of the order is impressive in itself
Your info about transmog tokens was a bit wrong. There is also a free way to get the tokens, every week you have a 1% chance per character to get a transmog token from every elite chest you open. It's relatively easy to get, I'm just doing the golden scarab route and usually get the token on day 1-3 of the week. I'll also do that same route on two other characters for 3 tokens weekly, and just sell the scarabs and transfer the gold into my company. That's 156 free tokens yearly, or 31 free transmogged sets. Really good video though!!
I prefer devs that under promise and over deliver rather than those that make all these promises that the game will be good someday after several updates that should have been part of the game on launch. You can keep your new world
I'll give new world another try, but I hope they incentivize world PvP more this time around. On launch running the same 3 PvP missions over and over to push a territory was a slog.
There actually was a decent amount of world pvp when I played a lot, my friend and I racked up tons of kills. Seems like people can't be bothered to toggle it on anymore, even if having it on does give you a 10% exp boost (I don't think a lot of people knew that at the time).
my concern is that it will not be around long enough to reach its full potential, ags has shut down games for underperforming before and very fast at that too while new world isn't dead by any means yet, the playerbase is dwindling and im not sure if charging 30 bucks for much needed changes is going to help that
why would it be free ? there is no subscription to this game, and then the expansions should also be free ? wow, i guess you never played world of warcraft, they both have subscription, box cost AND a heavy cash shop/pay to win. its more than fair to pay for expansions imo. @@matthewmammothswine4395
New World Dev #1: "You think we should add swimming into the game?" New World Dev #2: "Pfft.. nay. Let's make the cash shop more demanding!" New World Dev #1: "Good idea!" *Devs lighting cigars with 100 dollar bills to celebrate*
The bigger free update they did failed to save the game, brought some people back then the player base fell to new lows, same will happen here. New World is fundamentally flawed at it's core.
Definitely didn't fall to new lows. Before Brimstone Sands, they averaged at times like 6k players daily. They haven't dropped that low since Brimstone. Definitely not fundamentally flawed, the game has some flaws, but every game does. If you want an example of real flaw, go try to play Retail WoW as a brand new player and see how bad it is.
@@billyjb9411 What? The avg went up to 30-40k just before the update, peaking out at 120k and then dropped all the way down to under 10k ***in July which yes is a new low and even if weren't that's BAD given where this all started.

Its been a year or something for me to play this game. Started from level 1with new expansion, leveling and especially main questline seems changed a lot and its much more interesting now. Great game.
NW has come so far from initial launch and it has a bright future! As long as people are willing to give it a second chance. Thank you Lazy Peon for taking the time to shed some light on the game! Hope to see you exploring aeternum and elysian wilds with all of us when the expansion drops! 😎
The mass salvage might not be a thing after the expansion, since they will drastically reduce the amount of loot that drops, but the loot that drops will be more viable for you. Think they called it "loot bias" or something.
I just created a new character, lvl 38 now. The game has change a lot since premiere - quest line, leveling and gathering is much easier/faster, less painfull. I had a character lvl 41 that I created at the premier of the game, but I didn't want to continue with.
The first of many big MMO-tubers to re-visit New World, let’s see if it picks the game back up :DD glad you took the time to explore what’s new and share your thoughts!
Its so hard to call it a major resugence when the numbers go from nearly 1 million players down to 22k, then up to 140k for 1 month, then back down to 20k today.
I’m so happy this expansion has started to get coverage. I’ve played fairly consistently since launch and the overall improvement has been amazing. I think New World really can come back and be an amazing MMO. If a fraction of the people that have already purchased the base game come back for the expansion I think New World will be in a very healthy place. Of course there is still room for improvement and I am looking forward to the release of the 2024 roadmap.
Well you at least convinced me enough to download the game again and see how things are going. Definitely waiting for reviews before I buy a $30 expansion though.
I have been playing New World from the start and have to say that the dev's are listening to the player base. It's come a long way and am excited for the Xpack for sure. It's been a long journey but has been worth the ride.
I've been an MMo Player half my life and no game brings me back so quickly like New World. I can't stick with another mmo for long, cause I instantly start craving the ambience and atmosphere of Aeternum. Last time I quit because of the different gear sets and now that they are getting rid of them, I really hope New World will be my permanent home. I have so much love and care for this world and the dev team is so humble and honest. Hype for the add-on, I'm positive it will be a blast:)
1. Can't drink potion while blocking. 2. Can't cancel attack animation and Block right away. 3. If I join a random group and leave, the game still thinks im in a group and doesnt let me queue for dungeon. 4. Quests in the open world are too hard to solo if you are ilvl 590. trying to kill level 63 elites.
They definitely need better character customisation... for a new MMO with some of the best visuals, creating a new character is like a bad game of potato head..
One thing that annoys me, is that they add heavily requested features like gear set storage and transmogs, but immediately monetize them. There is so many things in this game that is already monetized, why monetize important features like those?
I start playing this game a week ago and looking forward for it to develop in the upcoming expansion. Looking forward to the balancing of the faction as well. I'm playing in the new server lilith.
As a day one player I can say that they already lost most of their potential players. They can do whatever they want but the thousands of people that slogged through the launch game aren't coming back.
never forget a comment I found somewhere when new world first came out, "this game abuses your time, every chance it gets." Never went so hot and cold for an mmo in such a short time.
@@backstabber3537 I’d agree that they’ve certainly ramped up the monetization but none of the stuff they’ve added is necessary to be successful in the game.
I will always be a die hard OSRS player. But i, along with everyone else tried at the launch of new world and really thought this game had the potential to be one of the best MMO'S ever. And i still do think that. Im so excited to keep seeing your updates and seeing new world still on a great path. I think it might be worth a shot to try new world again after this new expansion. Ive really been waiting for them to drop mounts.
I'm seeing a lot of quality of life gated behind the cash shop. I'm a simple man, I want to look cool and kill monsters. Transmog gated by cash shop tokens is a huge red flag for me. 10$ for just 5 tokens, that's not even enough to cover an entire gearset.
yes I am the same way. That's why I play osrs because I hate MTX with a burning passion, But I do know that you can get transmog tokens by doing the battle pass or some other content. Their just a pain in the ass. I hope they change that because MTX is the reason so many games fail in my opinion.@@theoryfound
Couple big notes: Not only is the questing better... the MSQ has been overhauled from 1-40 (much better) come Oct 3rd it's getting more updates to level 50, and then in the winter patch they'll have overhauled the entire main story quest experience. Regarding Combat missing - I never had any issues with this. kinda a weird complaint to me... you do have to have the cursor on the mob. You might think the animation will hit but it'll miss if the mob isn't center cursor (melee and ranged). Also never felt weird about the running personally.. I think the movement is best in MMOs because you actually get to dodge attacks instead of have all the combat RNG based. You wanna dodge, you press a button. You wanna block, you press a button. Most MMOs you just stand there and it's a % chance for this stuff. Also - you don't have to use transmog tokens for anything that was purchased/awarded via twitch drops or amazon rewards. Only to apply a dropped in-game skin to an item.
His complaint about missing attacks in combat is partially user error and not understanding how an ability works, he used relentless rush as an example - that ability does not hit twice in a large aoe, you spin forward twice while swinging your sword counterclockwise. It will only hit if the target ends up being hit by the sword hitbox (think of it like the big hand on a clock). If you use the ability when right in front of an enemy you will miss both hits as the sword wont touch them, but if you use it about 2-3m away both hits of the sword will register
I wanna add that the server lag that players encountered in wars when stacking points is now gone, the 50vs50 is still a clusterfuck but is the connection is basically as good as it gets considering it's a 50vs50 action combat.
First MMO my missus actually ever enjoyed. Told her mounts were now in game and they got rid of the expertise system and she said "saddle up, we're heading back to New World". Okay it was more like "I want to ride a lion" but still, the spirit is there. Thanks for this video, great marketing, even with the scuffed animations and drowning in three feet of water.
I recommend the game to every player wanting to return i myself returned a week ago and had so much fun better msq, fun company, good pve and pvp content so far had big open world fight. And with all the quality of life changes coming with expansions its gonna be actually so much easier for us returning and new players to catch up with the older players.
@@lefraunhofer8869 I'm so tired of listening to cheap people crying about having to pay 30$ to play a video game. The game has no sub, they don't force any microtransactions on you, has the most consumer friendly cash shop of any MMORPG, and they gave an entire expansion away for free last year to compensate for the poor launch. They need to make money, people have mouths to feed. MMORPG devs are not your slaves, and 30$ once a year or even TWO years is cheap as fuck for such a high quality game.
@@alainsauve5903 I dont care about paying 30$ for the update. I care for the player base of the game. This game still has to prove to old and new players that worth it. My friends, for example, bought the base game at launch. They quit couse at that point end game was really bad. Now, they want to try it again but they wont pay that price again to TEST. Endgame is now behind a paywall. The same happen with new players, that have to pay 70$ for a game that has no players. Im from SA, none of the server has more than 1500 on peak days-hour. In a MMO players base is king. I dont see how a paid DLC helps with the bigger issue NW has.
@@lefraunhofer8869 They can test the game without paying if they bought it -.- Your argument is unsubstantive. There isn't a paid game in the world that allows a player to try out the end game for free. If you've played NW for any decent amount of time, you'll understand exactly what you didn't like about the game. You don't need to pay to find out if you're going to like it or not, you just need to have a brain.
In opposition to the OP, I recommend any new potential player to look at other MMOS if they want a nice game. Don't waste your time with this dogshit chest run simulator.
There's something that nobody seems to mention: for those of you that like Dark Souls style combat, give NW a try, because dungeon bosses require a damn lot of well timed and constant dodging and I'm sure those that like that genre will enjoy the end-game combat.
The best thing about New World is the incredible combat in smaller scale PVP. Compared to other mmo's, and ive played most, its not even close. I have an example that will highlight this: last week i was in an arena fight with my FS/rapier build where i broke off from my team and had a quick 1v1 against another rapier user. After some scruffing about we riposted at the same time, at exactly that moment my teammate hit him with a fireball. He obviously riposted the fireball but his riposte got riposted by my riposte. Resulting in him being riposted by me and therefore stunned and rended so i could finish him off with a clean swing of my rapier. That is just so much detail and nuance in some of these pvp fights, escpecially smaller scale, that is just incredible. Name me one other MMO that has this? Dont get me wrong the game still has many faults. But the combat in that regard is just S tier. Its a shame that this doesnt get talked about more. Most people are stuck in the New World is dogshit meme and rightfully so i guess. But people should give it a serious 2nd chance after the upcoming update. Loved the vid Peon!
To each their own but I've always found action combat to be awful and clunky in MMOs, FF14's combat is best in class IMO, with classic WoW coming in second place but most would probably disagree. Guess I'm just coming from a different era where pseudo turn-based combat with GCDs and careful rotations are the norm. I hate this button mashing speed speed speed bullshit.
@@matthewmammothswine4395 I do and yes I am very much long gone, while in New World and similar games you can mostly press random buttons and do most of your potential damage, FF14 and WoW Classic have rotational combat, if you press the wrong button at the wrong time you can lose a very large chunk of damage, and in some cases be doing 20-30% of your potential (Looking at you Black Mage). Learning FF14 combat is akin to learning how to play the piano, pressing keys at the correct times to create noise (Do damage, heal, etc.), learning a class in FF14 is like learning to play a specific song, and learning a specific fight is like learning a variation on that song. Call me crazy but I prefer a well thought out, strategic combat system than one in which you can mostly just press any of your half dozen buttons and it'll do fine, just keep all your CDs rolling is so fucking boring. I'll note that the best of the action combat MMOs, BDO, is still leagues behind FF14 and WoW Classic as it still suffers the problem where you arrive at a pack of mobs, what do I press? Not some carefully thought out series of buttons, but whichever damaging ability does the most damage that isn't already on CD, boring.
I never left nw, some of my friends have 3-4k+ hours in it, I'm at 2.7k atm. They're definitely moving in the right direction finally - biggest gripes for me are the misalignment of hitboxes/collision boxes/and visual animations. Sometimes you are running against the enemy spriggan like a wall but still won't hit it with your hatchet.. Sometimes there's a ghost hitbox behind thorpe's back when he atks infront of him.. Sometimes the acid burns you 5m away from the visual acid pool.. Otherwise it's just the content they need to keep up with. There's also a lot of wasted opportunities for easy content, like hatchery is a super easy 10man. But if it had harder difficulties with rewards/leaderboards, it would make for amazing 10man content. Same with making the sandworm having an easier version so pugs have a chance at experiencing it. You could also apply similar logic to the 5man PVE arenas, having way harder versions of them would be super cool. But there should be leaderboards for TTK not #kills for the harder versions
Played it everyday since day 1 and it’s come so far. Best looking MMO and the fighting style is top tier IMO. Totally different game than what it was on release. I highly encourage players who left to come back for expansion (big changes coming) and see how far it’s all come. #s growing everyday again too. Hype! 🤗
@@ryangallegos3218 You pick a server upon character creation and thats your server until you decide to officially transfer (aka you cant freely jump from server to server like in some games) There arent explicitly pvp servers although some servers are more competitive than others. Most instanced pvp content is cross server so no matter where you go, you should easily find players. One of the best combat in MMOs in my opinion, do I definitely recommend!
@@ryangallegos3218I don't want to break your bubble, but you should really consider if wasting your time in this game is the best move you can make. I played nw for close to 4000 hours and I swear I have yet to find something in my life that wasted my time to the extent that new world did. I would do anything to get those 4k hours back and forget this dogshit game ever existed. I thought I'd give you an opposing opinion than the majority of the comments, since new world lost 99% of their playerbase, whoever is still playing now is obviously a huge fan and will give you a biased version of the facts. I used to be new World 's biggest defender, screaming at my friends it's all in their heads and the game is good...but they all left and didn't come back. The majority of people left and didn't come back. The game is a glorified asian grinder MMO, majority of activities in game are RNG, crafting is RNG, loot is 99.99% worthless, endgame sums up to doing chest runs every day or farming the same dungeons over and over. And people praising the combat are obviously full of shit, it's got no depth, no complexity...a monkey can press dodge at the right time.
@@lifebrookestyle2887 I just bought the game today, played a little on a US East server earlier. I didnt see any labeled as pvp servers. Maybe its best to play on a regular server my first char anyway.
just because its not your favourite MMORPG, we should all still celebrate the great good news of one of the MMORPGS going in the right direction, which sets the standard higher for the other mmorpgs to follow. At the end of the day, we are all basically holding out for Ashes of Creation.
Walking animation (and others) and hit register problem is on your side. Based on your clip from arena you are 150-200ms ping. In NW ping does affect this stuff since client does syncronize with data it gets from server.
If two equal skill players duel with the same weapons, the one with better ping will win every single time because his animations end quicker, allowing him to land more hits on you. And this is why new world is an absolute shit game for pvp and why a lot of people downgrade their graphics to the point the game looks like a background for Tetris.
This game blew up my 1080 and thousands of other peoples GPU's. There's no way in hell I'm ever playing a game from this company again, I'm not risking my 4080. It's a shame too because I was really enjoying the game at launch.
Whenever people talk about New World it kinda makes me want to play, but then I start watching what the game is, and it really is an amalgamation of everything I hate about MMOs...
I started playing on launch day, fell in with a great company, and was hooked with the company v company PVP; those were probably some of the best times I've ever had in an MMO to date and I honestly miss them. I'll probably check it out soon though, just hope the state of PVP and large scale wars is better than the launch...
The game is in a really good state right now. I started playing in december 2022 and been playing pretty much every day since (got over 400h in NW right now). It's a very beautiful and fun game! Can't wait for the expansion!
Personally idk why DEVs and companies have such a hard time creating an amazing well received and dun MMORPG. Just create a modern take on GW2 and there you go, it’s a hit. Literally just COPY/PASTE the game and all its features with updated graphics, re-designed maps, and fully open world with no loading screens. There you go, mmorpg of the century.
What killed NW for me is the same thing that also killed Diablo 4: lack of world PVP. We live in a sad world nowadays, where games just won't add world PVP anymore.
The reason why running feels weird because it actually is in sprint mode as default. They did this before release based on feedback. You can disable it in game and have a more normal and natural running animation but obviously you will be slower.
The animation itself is just bad though, it doesn't matter when it happens, its just not smooth and looks completely unnatural. I don't see why they haven't fixed it yet. Your character constantly gets stuck on stuff. Hit boxes are just bad.
I agree, I think that characters and animations need a lot of improvements. It is weird how beuatiful some aspects of this game can be and how ugly the characters models are. The contrast is huge.@@AlecWyld
I was getting excited until you mentioned all the P2W things they added xp and even gathering boosts which is insane to me, they might as well sell gold and weapons to the cashshop at this point, you also got gear set slots and on top of that a battle-pass, all this in a PAID game, the main attraction for me for this game was no p2w bullshit and had many similar elements to runescape, the market is already over-saturated with p2w gacha games.
I don't understant your point, you didn't play Brimstone Sands because when it launched everyone was playing on the fresh servers ? But uhhh, weren't the fresh servers out a whole month after the expansion launched ? Because that's the exact reason why I didn't bother playing the new expansion, because fresh servers came too late. So you had 4 weeks where the expansion was there on the old servers ?
since you didn't seem to mention it in the video, you can get transmog tokens as drops from elite chests, as well as in the season pass on both the free and paid side so it's not mandatory to buy them, just a faster way to get them
I was interested in New World when it originally released but it already had small microtransactions. I won't play any game with micros. It's a darn shame they have them because It looks like a game I could really enjoy.
If you won't play a live game with constant updates (literally every non singleplayer game) with microtransactions then i dont think you're gonna play any game ever lmao. Games cost money to produce and keep up. The microtransactions in new world are all skins/emotes too. Only exception is gear set slots and a 3 month battlepass
@@richardkim3652 i put almost 300 hours on release and over 400 hours on fresh start servers, i would have not touched the game if it had the P2W bullshit it has now, i guess it got my moneys worth from the game but it feels like a bait and switch to release the game for over a year with no mtx to then add a bunch of them now.
None of the micro transactions affect combat nor are they mandatory to play the game. The boosters are simply for weapon/character/profession xp/luck increases. Others buying them do not affect your interaction with the game.
Animations are off because they've changed most of the speeds for abilities and general movement but they never update the visual animation. Same for VFX when you'll notice most things hit you well outside of the radius it shows.
Maybe it's just me, but it's like devs made the game needlessly clunky and grindy. At the end of the day a turd Is still a turd no matter how much you polish it.
Thats kinda a non sensical argument, thats like saying you like a chocolate just for the factory it was made in even though it might taste good or look good

Im actually so happy to see that the devs are sticking to improving the game as time passes. I can't wait to see what becomes of it in the years to come
I don't really care for MMO's anymore because companies today just don't understand how to make a successful MMO you either spend years and years making sure there is tons to do or you start with less but make sure it's highly replayable and varied it's not rocket science
@@matthewmammothswine4395 i thought it was pretty dogwater but some people genuinely love it. Have a feeling these people would love any game with half decent dodge mechanics.

Surely. 1 paid expansion after 2 years of countless free updates and essentially a free expansion with brimstone. They've done big updates every 3 months since I can remember and none of them paid. God forbid a development team attempts to earn money for its work
Lord forbid a development team for fixing game released in alpha state with no content and tons of bugs@@bigmacnw anyways, i wish amazon gl with the sales xd
My company had just over 200 players before launch, today it's just me and 1 more person I know who's still around and both of us are basically just war logging.
It doesn't. It's got up to 15k concurrent players. First day at launch it had 900k, then lost 99% of them within two months as people started seeing it for what it actually was, a shallow game with nothing to do run by baboons who took the fun away from it and replaced it with multiple layers of RNG.

Out of curiosity, are you still playing bdo?
70 euros AND in game cash shop .. ? no thanks !
mounts behind a paywall is really sad tbh
Downright unacceptable.
You forgot to mention, but you can get 1 free Transmog token per week per character from elite chests. So it’s still available to people who don’t pay, just pretty tedious.
You also get a few from the free season pass.
I didn't know this, thanks for the info!
Also I can’t remember if he mentioned it in video but also unlocks are account-wide so any character can use them.
Imagine having to grind to get a $2 token lol
@@TheLazyPeon it's a 1 token per week on 1% drop chance on elite chests, it requires about 20 hours playing to unlock 1 tmog token, 40 hours if unlucky.
@@VeNoMz_ That sounds like the game I remember.
Feels like the game is sorta in a 1.0 state, where most things present now probably should have been in the base game. Definitely a good time to come back to check out the new stuff!
yeah unfortunately that seems to be with most new games, pretty much just rush it so the investors can get money before the hype/desire for people to buy it goes down/away. Even with bigger known companies like Blizzard as in with D4. Their game still missing key things that one would assume it would have at launch or at least gotten fixed within 2-3 months. Not saying it's a shit game but definitely has had bugs, exploits, missing features etc. To me it seems that most games that came out recently and even up to 2 years ago were forced/pushed to be released just so the top people can make more $$.
As long as we are not stuck with chest runs 24/7, it's a good thing so far
did i read it wrong? I wanted to play new world cause the mounts and stuff but then I saw the expansion and the inclusion of mounts and new areas was behind a paywall in the dlc section
They still haven't touch all the important core systems, all they have done is rolled the game in glitter and micro-transactions. Let's not forget the territory system that dictates everyone's status in the game. Don't forget the gold distribution to these companies that hold these territories that raise and lower taxes and cost of crafting. You also have the the latency and desync issues they will never resolve by allowing non-regional connections with 300+ pings. And how can you forget the matchmaking system that determines whether you actually have fun in an Arena or OPR PVP match, which doesn't even separate the pre-made from the solos. I could mention the gatekeeping and RNG, but I think you get the point.
@@LilPistacho That's why i don't understand why people complain so much about Ashes of Creation taking so long (when it's not really, it just feels that way because it's a transparent development}, i personally much prefer a game to take its time and get it almost right first go, than games like this that rush due to investors (that AoC doesn't have to worry about) and tank.
Good video, one important note, the augments and transmog tokens are also available in the free battle pass. Just FYI
You also can get 1 per week in elite chests of any level and the unlocks are forever for any character associated with your account.

The game has improved SO MUCH and the dedication from the devs deserves respect. Not perfect but come a very long way
No it does not deserve respect. The art department ie enviroment/dungeon/texture/enemy design team deserves praise. Everything else is hugely disappointing, terrible optimization terrible qol, terrible bugs and game breaking problems that affect a large percentage of players taking months to fix with little to 0 communication, problems that have been in the beta and still not fixed, more annoying bugs that have been around and complained about for months and months still not fixed. I'm not pointing fingers directly at x or y dev but something is horribly wrong, could be executives forcing the game to be in this state, whatever it is it's horrible. There is massive rmt going on, hackers running around with no consequence for weeks.
The game barely peaks over 10k concurrent players if the game was that amazing and that accessible like the people singing it's praises then it would have more players.

It's bizarre that this game isn't on console. So much of it seems legitimately built for controllers. The limited skills, action combat, etc.
its a fun game to play through. If you want to do group content, play with the option to tank or heal
It would have sold good on console all we have is final fantasy..... this and guildwars are made for console

@@crompererPS5 could probably handle it since it’s about on-par with a mid-range PC from last generation and I’ve seen this game run on some absolute jank computers lol
Honestly the changes they have put in makes the game feel so much better then what it was like in release. I made a new character and it's actually a good experience? Like walking all over is still the worse part about it but I didn't dread leveling and had some fun in the process and them actually having voice actors for the story made me actually listen to dialog (granted the story is still pretty meh) If this expansion dosen't bring in a bunch of gamebreaking bugs then New World may actually be a pretty solid mmo
its cool because mounts will be getting implemented and collectable at lvl 25 :D since its a profession
They’ll never make it faster to get around because then people like you would realize it’s a barebones, puddle deep game where walking from point A to point B is 90% of the “gameplay”
That along with brainless watered down souls like combat
@@Marchochias Didn't you watch the video? they are literally adding mounts to move faster.

I was a new player a month or so ago that was completely turned off by the expertise system. Really glad to see they're taking it out. I will definitely be trying the new expansion.
Yeah, that was what kept me from recommending it. The expertise system was stupid and arbitrary
The entire design of endgame was stupid and arbitrary. They had nothing so they created artificial grind.
Now, a year later, they are close to having a fleshed out game but I would wager it is still garbage. I like Peon but all he does is cover garbage games.

The fact that the expansion is going to cost $30USD for 3 mounts, 1 new dungeon, 1 new zone, 1 new weapon and increases to stuff like your level and professions. I definitely expected more content than that for an expansion.

Your info about transmog tokens was a bit wrong. There is also a free way to get the tokens, every week you have a 1% chance per character to get a transmog token from every elite chest you open. It's relatively easy to get, I'm just doing the golden scarab route and usually get the token on day 1-3 of the week. I'll also do that same route on two other characters for 3 tokens weekly, and just sell the scarabs and transfer the gold into my company. That's 156 free tokens yearly, or 31 free transmogged sets. Really good video though!!
Finally. Balanced reviews that actually discuss the good AND the bad, in terms of mechanics. This is why I'm here.
I prefer devs that under promise and over deliver rather than those that make all these promises that the game will be good someday after several updates that should have been part of the game on launch. You can keep your new world
I'll give new world another try, but I hope they incentivize world PvP more this time around. On launch running the same 3 PvP missions over and over to push a territory was a slog.
Season 3 should come with Influence changes so we'll see how it does.
Same, world PvP was my groups main concern. A PvP server with no flagging would be even better.
There actually was a decent amount of world pvp when I played a lot, my friend and I racked up tons of kills. Seems like people can't be bothered to toggle it on anymore, even if having it on does give you a 10% exp boost (I don't think a lot of people knew that at the time).
It was ezy mode
oh boy you'll be in for a treat!
will there be a fresh start for expansion? Kinda wish this game had megaserver too
Give it few more years and couple more expansions and this game will be amazing
my concern is that it will not be around long enough to reach its full potential, ags has shut down games for underperforming before and very fast at that too
while new world isn't dead by any means yet, the playerbase is dwindling and im not sure if charging 30 bucks for much needed changes is going to help that

Have returned to the game feels like a complete new mmo with all the updates, new world pulling a no man’s sky on us.
they did mention theyre doing a combat CODE revamp, so i assume it could help with the desync issues in combat hopefully.
The bigger free update they did failed to save the game, brought some people back then the player base fell to new lows, same will happen here. New World is fundamentally flawed at it's core.
Not really tho:) game is in a good state! Even a peak of 15k players equals to a Playerbase with around 100k players
The only fundamental flaw that AGS hasn't been able to move past is the bad launch. Gamers will never get over it.
Definitely didn't fall to new lows. Before Brimstone Sands, they averaged at times like 6k players daily. They haven't dropped that low since Brimstone. Definitely not fundamentally flawed, the game has some flaws, but every game does. If you want an example of real flaw, go try to play Retail WoW as a brand new player and see how bad it is.
@@billyjb9411 What? The avg went up to 30-40k just before the update, peaking out at 120k and then dropped all the way down to under 10k ***in July which yes is a new low and even if weren't that's BAD given where this all started.

Its been a year or something for me to play this game. Started from level 1with new expansion, leveling and especially main questline seems changed a lot and its much more interesting now. Great game.

Thank you Lazy Peon for taking the time to shed some light on the game! Hope to see you exploring aeternum and elysian wilds with all of us when the expansion drops! 😎
The mass salvage might not be a thing after the expansion, since they will drastically reduce the amount of loot that drops, but the loot that drops will be more viable for you. Think they called it "loot bias" or something.
yeah they nerf the drop rate so no more spam salvage
I just created a new character, lvl 38 now. The game has change a lot since premiere - quest line, leveling and gathering is much easier/faster, less painfull. I had a character lvl 41 that I created at the premier of the game, but I didn't want to continue with.

Its so hard to call it a major resugence when the numbers go from nearly 1 million players down to 22k, then up to 140k for 1 month, then back down to 20k today.
I’m so happy this expansion has started to get coverage. I’ve played fairly consistently since launch and the overall improvement has been amazing. I think New World really can come back and be an amazing MMO. If a fraction of the people that have already purchased the base game come back for the expansion I think New World will be in a very healthy place. Of course there is still room for improvement and I am looking forward to the release of the 2024 roadmap.

I have been playing New World from the start and have to say that the dev's are listening to the player base. It's come a long way and am excited for the Xpack for sure. It's been a long journey but has been worth the ride.
I have always said "I didnt quit new world, it is just on pause until it is ready."
I've been an MMo Player half my life and no game brings me back so quickly like New World. I can't stick with another mmo for long, cause I instantly start craving the ambience and atmosphere of Aeternum. Last time I quit because of the different gear sets and now that they are getting rid of them, I really hope New World will be my permanent home. I have so much love and care for this world and the dev team is so humble and honest. Hype for the add-on, I'm positive it will be a blast:)
Me too
Until they actually have Asia servers in Asia, not Australia, I don’t think I’ll ever go back.
New world is pretty fun today and will get so much better with the new expansion, I’m hyped
1. Can't drink potion while blocking.
2. Can't cancel attack animation and Block right away.
3. If I join a random group and leave, the game still thinks im in a group and doesnt let me queue for dungeon.
4. Quests in the open world are too hard to solo if you are ilvl 590. trying to kill level 63 elites.
They definitely need better character customisation... for a new MMO with some of the best visuals, creating a new character is like a bad game of potato head..
One thing that annoys me, is that they add heavily requested features like gear set storage and transmogs, but immediately monetize them. There is so many things in this game that is already monetized, why monetize important features like those?
I start playing this game a week ago and looking forward for it to develop in the upcoming expansion. Looking forward to the balancing of the faction as well. I'm playing in the new server lilith.

Wow. What a time to release this video...I just redownloaded the game to see what has changed in the last 10 months since I last played it.
I will always be a die hard OSRS player. But i, along with everyone else tried at the launch of new world and really thought this game had the potential to be one of the best MMO'S ever. And i still do think that. Im so excited to keep seeing your updates and seeing new world still on a great path. I think it might be worth a shot to try new world again after this new expansion. Ive really been waiting for them to drop mounts.
I'm seeing a lot of quality of life gated behind the cash shop. I'm a simple man, I want to look cool and kill monsters. Transmog gated by cash shop tokens is a huge red flag for me. 10$ for just 5 tokens, that's not even enough to cover an entire gearset.
yes I am the same way. That's why I play osrs because I hate MTX with a burning passion, But I do know that you can get transmog tokens by doing the battle pass or some other content. Their just a pain in the ass. I hope they change that because MTX is the reason so many games fail in my opinion.@@theoryfound
i remember chopping wood for like 500 hours and never playing again
Couple big notes: Not only is the questing better... the MSQ has been overhauled from 1-40 (much better) come Oct 3rd it's getting more updates to level 50, and then in the winter patch they'll have overhauled the entire main story quest experience.
Regarding Combat missing - I never had any issues with this. kinda a weird complaint to me... you do have to have the cursor on the mob. You might think the animation will hit but it'll miss if the mob isn't center cursor (melee and ranged). Also never felt weird about the running personally.. I think the movement is best in MMOs because you actually get to dodge attacks instead of have all the combat RNG based. You wanna dodge, you press a button. You wanna block, you press a button. Most MMOs you just stand there and it's a % chance for this stuff.
Also - you don't have to use transmog tokens for anything that was purchased/awarded via twitch drops or amazon rewards. Only to apply a dropped in-game skin to an item.
His complaint about missing attacks in combat is partially user error and not understanding how an ability works, he used relentless rush as an example - that ability does not hit twice in a large aoe, you spin forward twice while swinging your sword counterclockwise. It will only hit if the target ends up being hit by the sword hitbox (think of it like the big hand on a clock). If you use the ability when right in front of an enemy you will miss both hits as the sword wont touch them, but if you use it about 2-3m away both hits of the sword will register
I wanna add that the server lag that players encountered in wars when stacking points is now gone, the 50vs50 is still a clusterfuck but is the connection is basically as good as it gets considering it's a 50vs50 action combat.
First MMO my missus actually ever enjoyed. Told her mounts were now in game and they got rid of the expertise system and she said "saddle up, we're heading back to New World". Okay it was more like "I want to ride a lion" but still, the spirit is there. Thanks for this video, great marketing, even with the scuffed animations and drowning in three feet of water.
I recommend the game to every player wanting to return i myself returned a week ago and had so much fun better msq, fun company, good pve and pvp content so far had big open world fight. And with all the quality of life changes coming with expansions its gonna be actually so much easier for us returning and new players to catch up with the older players.
But now i have to pay 30 $ to acces again to those things
@@lefraunhofer8869 I'm so tired of listening to cheap people crying about having to pay 30$ to play a video game. The game has no sub, they don't force any microtransactions on you, has the most consumer friendly cash shop of any MMORPG, and they gave an entire expansion away for free last year to compensate for the poor launch. They need to make money, people have mouths to feed. MMORPG devs are not your slaves, and 30$ once a year or even TWO years is cheap as fuck for such a high quality game.
@@alainsauve5903 I dont care about paying 30$ for the update. I care for the player base of the game. This game still has to prove to old and new players that worth it. My friends, for example, bought the base game at launch. They quit couse at that point end game was really bad. Now, they want to try it again but they wont pay that price again to TEST. Endgame is now behind a paywall. The same happen with new players, that have to pay 70$ for a game that has no players. Im from SA, none of the server has more than 1500 on peak days-hour. In a MMO players base is king. I dont see how a paid DLC helps with the bigger issue NW has.
@@lefraunhofer8869 They can test the game without paying if they bought it -.- Your argument is unsubstantive. There isn't a paid game in the world that allows a player to try out the end game for free. If you've played NW for any decent amount of time, you'll understand exactly what you didn't like about the game. You don't need to pay to find out if you're going to like it or not, you just need to have a brain.
In opposition to the OP, I recommend any new potential player to look at other MMOS if they want a nice game. Don't waste your time with this dogshit chest run simulator.
There's something that nobody seems to mention: for those of you that like Dark Souls style combat, give NW a try, because dungeon bosses require a damn lot of well timed and constant dodging and I'm sure those that like that genre will enjoy the end-game combat.
The best thing about New World is the incredible combat in smaller scale PVP. Compared to other mmo's, and ive played most, its not even close.
I have an example that will highlight this: last week i was in an arena fight with my FS/rapier build where i broke off from my team and had a quick 1v1 against another rapier user. After some scruffing about we riposted at the same time, at exactly that moment my teammate hit him with a fireball. He obviously riposted the fireball but his riposte got riposted by my riposte. Resulting in him being riposted by me and therefore stunned and rended so i could finish him off with a clean swing of my rapier. That is just so much detail and nuance in some of these pvp fights, escpecially smaller scale, that is just incredible.
Name me one other MMO that has this? Dont get me wrong the game still has many faults. But the combat in that regard is just S tier. Its a shame that this doesnt get talked about more. Most people are stuck in the New World is dogshit meme and rightfully so i guess. But people should give it a serious 2nd chance after the upcoming update.
Loved the vid Peon!
To each their own but I've always found action combat to be awful and clunky in MMOs, FF14's combat is best in class IMO, with classic WoW coming in second place but most would probably disagree. Guess I'm just coming from a different era where pseudo turn-based combat with GCDs and careful rotations are the norm. I hate this button mashing speed speed speed bullshit.
New world has terrible PvP and combat in general. It’s just a shittier version of ESO combat, which is also shit.
@@tjparkour24you think FF14 and wow classic has the best combat of MMOs……..? Good god there’s no saving this man, he’s long gone.
@@matthewmammothswine4395 I do and yes I am very much long gone, while in New World and similar games you can mostly press random buttons and do most of your potential damage, FF14 and WoW Classic have rotational combat, if you press the wrong button at the wrong time you can lose a very large chunk of damage, and in some cases be doing 20-30% of your potential (Looking at you Black Mage). Learning FF14 combat is akin to learning how to play the piano, pressing keys at the correct times to create noise (Do damage, heal, etc.), learning a class in FF14 is like learning to play a specific song, and learning a specific fight is like learning a variation on that song. Call me crazy but I prefer a well thought out, strategic combat system than one in which you can mostly just press any of your half dozen buttons and it'll do fine, just keep all your CDs rolling is so fucking boring. I'll note that the best of the action combat MMOs, BDO, is still leagues behind FF14 and WoW Classic as it still suffers the problem where you arrive at a pack of mobs, what do I press? Not some carefully thought out series of buttons, but whichever damaging ability does the most damage that isn't already on CD, boring.
@@tjparkour24 people don’t press random buttons. This is likely why you don’t get action combat, you just press random buttons.

They're definitely moving in the right direction finally - biggest gripes for me are the misalignment of hitboxes/collision boxes/and visual animations. Sometimes you are running against the enemy spriggan like a wall but still won't hit it with your hatchet.. Sometimes there's a ghost hitbox behind thorpe's back when he atks infront of him.. Sometimes the acid burns you 5m away from the visual acid pool..
Otherwise it's just the content they need to keep up with. There's also a lot of wasted opportunities for easy content, like hatchery is a super easy 10man. But if it had harder difficulties with rewards/leaderboards, it would make for amazing 10man content. Same with making the sandworm having an easier version so pugs have a chance at experiencing it. You could also apply similar logic to the 5man PVE arenas, having way harder versions of them would be super cool. But there should be leaderboards for TTK not #kills for the harder versions
Played it everyday since day 1 and it’s come so far. Best looking MMO and the fighting style is top tier IMO. Totally different game than what it was on release. I highly encourage players who left to come back for expansion (big changes coming) and see how far it’s all come. #s growing everyday again too. Hype! 🤗
I never got around to trying it, are there different types of servers? PvP preferably.
@@ryangallegos3218 You pick a server upon character creation and thats your server until you decide to officially transfer (aka you cant freely jump from server to server like in some games) There arent explicitly pvp servers although some servers are more competitive than others. Most instanced pvp content is cross server so no matter where you go, you should easily find players. One of the best combat in MMOs in my opinion, do I definitely recommend!
@@ryangallegos3218I don't want to break your bubble, but you should really consider if wasting your time in this game is the best move you can make. I played nw for close to 4000 hours and I swear I have yet to find something in my life that wasted my time to the extent that new world did. I would do anything to get those 4k hours back and forget this dogshit game ever existed.
I thought I'd give you an opposing opinion than the majority of the comments, since new world lost 99% of their playerbase, whoever is still playing now is obviously a huge fan and will give you a biased version of the facts. I used to be new World 's biggest defender, screaming at my friends it's all in their heads and the game is good...but they all left and didn't come back. The majority of people left and didn't come back. The game is a glorified asian grinder MMO, majority of activities in game are RNG, crafting is RNG, loot is 99.99% worthless, endgame sums up to doing chest runs every day or farming the same dungeons over and over. And people praising the combat are obviously full of shit, it's got no depth, no complexity...a monkey can press dodge at the right time.
@@ryangallegos3218 You haven’t tried the game yet or you haven’t tried the content yet? Just so I know how to best answer your question 😊
@@lifebrookestyle2887 I just bought the game today, played a little on a US East server earlier. I didnt see any labeled as pvp servers. Maybe its best to play on a regular server my first char anyway.
just because its not your favourite MMORPG, we should all still celebrate the great good news of one of the MMORPGS going in the right direction, which sets the standard higher for the other mmorpgs to follow.
At the end of the day, we are all basically holding out for Ashes of Creation.
Walking animation (and others) and hit register problem is on your side. Based on your clip from arena you are 150-200ms ping. In NW ping does affect this stuff since client does syncronize with data it gets from server.
If two equal skill players duel with the same weapons, the one with better ping will win every single time because his animations end quicker, allowing him to land more hits on you. And this is why new world is an absolute shit game for pvp and why a lot of people downgrade their graphics to the point the game looks like a background for Tetris.
This game blew up my 1080 and thousands of other peoples GPU's. There's no way in hell I'm ever playing a game from this company again, I'm not risking my 4080. It's a shame too because I was really enjoying the game at launch.
One of my favorite MMOs ever, been playing from alpha and still enjoy it. The expansion looks awesome.
Instead of classes based on 'play style' have classes based on something that you have a spiritual affinity with...who you are as a person...🎉🎉
Although I haven't really played the game all that much I have to give Amazon props for sticking with continuing to try to improve the game.
You can also dye all your transmogs now, even the skins your buy in the shop. Pretty fun
I miss the updates on life in Thailand ☺ the real life MMORPG
Whenever people talk about New World it kinda makes me want to play, but then I start watching what the game is, and it really is an amalgamation of everything I hate about MMOs...
I started playing on launch day, fell in with a great company, and was hooked with the company v company PVP; those were probably some of the best times I've ever had in an MMO to date and I honestly miss them. I'll probably check it out soon though, just hope the state of PVP and large scale wars is better than the launch...
Are we all going to ignore the naked Albert Einstein at 9:06
The game is in a really good state right now. I started playing in december 2022 and been playing pretty much every day since (got over 400h in NW right now). It's a very beautiful and fun game! Can't wait for the expansion!
Everyday but only 400 hours? So u only play like 1 hour a day
@@JohnpdfSo...?
@@wendake215 cant be that fun if thats all u have put into it when its been close to a year since then
@@Johnpdf lol get a life dude - 400h in 10 months is an achievment for a father of 2 young kids and owner of a business.;)
Personally idk why DEVs and companies have such a hard time creating an amazing well received and dun MMORPG. Just create a modern take on GW2 and there you go, it’s a hit. Literally just COPY/PASTE the game and all its features with updated graphics, re-designed maps, and fully open world with no loading screens. There you go, mmorpg of the century.
Little early for a new world video - would love to see a video when the PTR comes out
What killed NW for me is the same thing that also killed Diablo 4: lack of world PVP.
We live in a sad world nowadays, where games just won't add world PVP anymore.
The reason why running feels weird because it actually is in sprint mode as default. They did this before release based on feedback. You can disable it in game and have a more normal and natural running animation but obviously you will be slower.
The animation itself is just bad though, it doesn't matter when it happens, its just not smooth and looks completely unnatural. I don't see why they haven't fixed it yet. Your character constantly gets stuck on stuff. Hit boxes are just bad.
I agree, I think that characters and animations need a lot of improvements. It is weird how beuatiful some aspects of this game can be and how ugly the characters models are. The contrast is huge.@@AlecWyld
@@jj7741 I was just thinking that last night when playing.
In my opinion New World will rise again, in the same way ESO did. By going free to play. But first they still need to fix a few things.
I was getting excited until you mentioned all the P2W things they added xp and even gathering boosts which is insane to me, they might as well sell gold and weapons to the cashshop at this point, you also got gear set slots and on top of that a battle-pass, all this in a PAID game, the main attraction for me for this game was no p2w bullshit and had many similar elements to runescape, the market is already over-saturated with p2w gacha games.
I don't understant your point, you didn't play Brimstone Sands because when it launched everyone was playing on the fresh servers ? But uhhh, weren't the fresh servers out a whole month after the expansion launched ? Because that's the exact reason why I didn't bother playing the new expansion, because fresh servers came too late. So you had 4 weeks where the expansion was there on the old servers ?
This game is so damn good and the potential is huge. One of the best combat of any mmo out there. Can’t wait to get the expansion.
since you didn't seem to mention it in the video, you can get transmog tokens as drops from elite chests, as well as in the season pass on both the free and paid side so it's not mandatory to buy them, just a faster way to get them
I was interested in New World when it originally released but it already had small microtransactions.
I won't play any game with micros.
It's a darn shame they have them because It looks like a game I could really enjoy.
So you don't play any game at all since every game has microtransactions? unless you only play single player games like Elden Ring and BG3
If you won't play a live game with constant updates (literally every non singleplayer game) with microtransactions then i dont think you're gonna play any game ever lmao. Games cost money to produce and keep up. The microtransactions in new world are all skins/emotes too. Only exception is gear set slots and a 3 month battlepass
You either get comfortable with that idea or never play anything online ever again, they are here to stay...
@@richardkim3652 i put almost 300 hours on release and over 400 hours on fresh start servers, i would have not touched the game if it had the P2W bullshit it has now, i guess it got my moneys worth from the game but it feels like a bait and switch to release the game for over a year with no mtx to then add a bunch of them now.
None of the micro transactions affect combat nor are they mandatory to play the game. The boosters are simply for weapon/character/profession xp/luck increases. Others buying them do not affect your interaction with the game.
Animations are off because they've changed most of the speeds for abilities and general movement but they never update the visual animation. Same for VFX when you'll notice most things hit you well outside of the radius it shows.
The game needs seasonal servers that go into the legacy servers after 3 months to bring back any hype
Should have done this right from the get-go instead waiting till they lose a huge chunk of players that won't come back no matter what, including me.
Best mmo currently and it's not even close
Based
100% agree
Yep
The biggest problem to me with New World is that the game pvp combat and skill tree weapons are not fun enough
This has been the longest Beta test I have ever been a part of ... and the most expensive
4:44 i have played NW for quite long time but i didnt know about this... This.. changes everything!
Maybe it's just me, but it's like devs made the game needlessly clunky and grindy. At the end of the day a turd Is still a turd no matter how much you polish it.
Yeah but at the end of the day people will still buy into a polished turd and die on a hill defending it.
Still don't understand the walking under water thing. It's just so odd to me. Wonder if we'll ever get swimming.
Biggest problem in the game for me is the engine they’re using, doesnt matter what content they add when it feels like you’re playing a beta
This
amen brother... the real knows the deal...lumberyard my ass
Thats kinda a non sensical argument, thats like saying you like a chocolate just for the factory it was made in even though it might taste good or look good
New World studio need to implement more Outpost rush maps in the rotation and do better pvp balance to bring back players. Remove slow on every melee hit, nerf attunment perk, gembit gems bonus dmg and make more and fluid fun weapons
Im actually so happy to see that the devs are sticking to improving the game as time passes. I can't wait to see what becomes of it in the years to come
I don't really care for MMO's anymore because companies today just don't understand how to make a successful MMO
you either spend years and years making sure there is tons to do or you start with less but make sure it's highly replayable and varied it's not rocket science
New world combat is just tooooo dammmmm goodd...
3 button jank 😂
I actually never have problems with desync or attacks not hitting, maybe peon has that because he plays from Thailand
@@alexorgy yeah that definitely makes sense I never have issues with combat or desync it’s the best part of the game
This is a joke right?
@@matthewmammothswine4395 i thought it was pretty dogwater but some people genuinely love it.
Have a feeling these people would love any game with half decent dodge mechanics.
thought about to return and check what is goin on in the game (didnt play since 2 month after initial release), but after hearing that DLC cost $ - i am not fallin into this trap twice
Surely. 1 paid expansion after 2 years of countless free updates and essentially a free expansion with brimstone. They've done big updates every 3 months since I can remember and none of them paid. God forbid a development team attempts to earn money for its work
Lord forbid a development team for fixing game released in alpha state with no content and tons of bugs@@bigmacnw anyways, i wish amazon gl with the sales xd
The fact that this game has nearly a million players on at one time is insane.
My company had just over 200 players before launch, today it's just me and 1 more person I know who's still around and both of us are basically just war logging.
It doesn't. It's got up to 15k concurrent players. First day at launch it had 900k, then lost 99% of them within two months as people started seeing it for what it actually was, a shallow game with nothing to do run by baboons who took the fun away from it and replaced it with multiple layers of RNG.
expect AGS to fix the lighting in transmog window by selling "light sources" in the cash shop.
I never felt a drop off a level 30.. the game was fun. Now i think they went too far in the other direction with how fast you get to 60
The leveling on release was a bog compared to others... have you played other mmos ?
@@MixMeister5000 I played wow, swtor, gw2 and eso on release. Each for a thousand to 10s of thousands of hours. Played Tera and Rift at its peak.
The world of MMOs is in a sad state when the recommendation is "You'll get a couple weeks of fun out of it at the very least".
Game got a stank to it
