Great review 👏 3.5k hr player here. I'm really enjoying maxing out all the professions and building the artisan weapons armors and tools to show off my time.
As someone who stayed away from the game for so long, I can say that when I came back for Aeternum, it had me hooked. The fact that I bothered to even watch the cutscenes, I cared about the lore and story now, The biomes had changed and things seemed fairly fresh and new in areas. The addition of mounts and new areas I haven't been able to play yet, makes me want to keep grinding to play them when I get the DLC. I've been doing the acheivements lately and a lot more exploring, the parkour climbing has been a nice touch, as well as the difficult puzzle's in expeditions. It took a group of us so long to get through an area on Turkey Day but it was worth a fun challenge. Every fresh start server and old server I've been on has been really active and people play daily. Except one being a lot less people on at a certain time of day, they all play past a certain hour. Practically every single player I come across has a mount and level 65 which shows that they are definitely longer term players. A boat load of weapons and armor on the market place are lvl65 wich a higher gear score but there are still things for newer players or people getting close to that. There are tons of skins for literally everything including mounts. Clearly I'm enjoying the game again. I went from 400 hours to almost 800 hours since coming back.
LOVING this on the Ps5. This was a fun watch, tho I still like ESO better, I am so happy such a terrific mmo is on console now and this is buy to play so pay it once and never pay a sub fee (unlike so many mmo's)
Glad to hear you're enjoying it, consoles usually don't have very many options when it comes to MMOs. I'm actually working on a video about an old console MMO right now so keep an eye out for that!
Really well done video, I have been thinking of returning to New World for a little while now. Maybe it is time. Nothing can match the environment and ambience except maybe WoW
4:10 and this is why for the life of me I can not get into guild wars 2 or even understand why so many people love it. It's so directionless and feels like a complete chore to play
I returned to the game on PS5 Pro, and the amount of quality of life changes is great! However, the core endgame wall hasn't changed at all. M3's are still unfun and disjointed in the progress path (M2 to M3 is an insane jump, and the game does very little to support that). The raids are locked out to anyone who hasn't already done them or has a guild willing to boost you (This is more of a player issue, with too many gatekeepers). This time I was a healer and whilst I was able to gear and spec ready for raids and M3, I just couldn't find a PVE guild at all, and as someone who completely avoids pvp, it killed the game for me :( With that in mind, the new PVP season servers have cemented my decision to not return to the game. The changes are great, but the core progression system at endgame feels just as janky as at launch, be it with more dungeons and raids.
I bought New World after Aeternum was released and didn't get the expansion. I think it's only for people who had already bought it before. It really just means they don't have to buy it again. Am I wrong? Can anyone confirm or deny this? I've seen it repeated so many times, but I really can't find any actual evidence that it should be included for new buys.
I think the original storage system could've worked if they leaned into a slower more hardcore gameplay loop, but it was a weird mix of systems that just ended up feeling like a needless chore. A full-loot hardcore PvP New World could've been interesting.
1: Buy to play 2: No p2w, I have videos on my channel fighting naked and beating top rank. 3: No, it has proper crafting, and crafted items are BiS, considering circumstances 4: Yes, but not as many as WoW
My biggest issue with the game was how all the zones were literally copy/pasted. The buildings/landmarks and enemies are all the same with different names and minuscule visual changes. And then the DLC came that made me buy it if I wanted to have a feature they have added into the game - mounts. I get you want money, but this is Amazon, they have money. They also already got my money for the game. The DLC also came at the time when the game playerbase was at its lowest, so why turn off more players by being greedy?
I played with a group of friends on launch and one of them quit as soon as he realized the copy/pasting and has refused to give the game another shot. I think that was a deal breaker for a lot of people.
Thy should make New World as free to play really. I did not like the seasonal pvp temporary servers too, too much condition and punishments which can be exploited easily and no point in long run that you will never reach to old server players' gear score and so on after 4 months. Instead, thy should bring fully open world permanent pvp server!!!
This game gets boring relly fast sadly, nice leveling experience thoe. Top score as a new game coming in as a new player and exploring (can get some 50+ hours at least on it), zero score for end game. Uninstalled after 2-3 months but u get moneys worth in time for shure.
I played for a bit during the beta and couldn't really get into it. I wanted to try again, but I play PC and they don't do a free trial on pc like they do console. I refuse to pay full box price just to try it. Hopefully they get a trial on pc soon.
your vid is good. But New World is trash. Don't waste your time or money on this game. AGS has failed, failed again, and continues to fail to correct bugs or address player concerns in a meaningful way. Once the 'new' wears off players will realize how toxic the elitist sweat lord legions that run the game are. Play something else, you will thank yourself later.
i want this game to burn simply because of how poorly they monotized it. i am very displeased on how the transmog system was handled, its the epitome of greed.

Someone needs a real life
Just a random guy here wishing you good luck on your TH-cam journey. Great job so far! :)
Thank you very much! Next video drops tomorrow!
Damn, checked out your channel after watching your vid on Brighter Shores 3 days ago, good to see your vids are quickly finding people man!
Thank you! I'm stoked on how things are going so far. Next vid drops in a few hours, this one's a bit different.

Bought a copy on console this time. Loving the new lvling grind.
same i started playing on console again as well
Nice video. I loved the music playing montage :)
Thank you! I had fun making it.
This was a really well done video that respected my time. Deserved subbed.
👌🏽👌🏽
I honestly started to play it 2 days ago, and i am so happy i did, what a game so enjoyable.
I think I went to elementary school with this guy. He sounds familiar.
Really well done video, I have been thinking of returning to New World for a little while now. Maybe it is time. Nothing can match the environment and ambience except maybe WoW
The leveling and core gameplay loop is up there with WoW in my opinion. Worst case scenario you have fun leveling to cap and then drop it again.
You won't regret it.
If i didnt have to buy it again, i would try it now. I loved playing it... joined a great guild.
If you bought the game originally you can still play it. I bought it on release in 2021 and didn't spend any additional money to make this video.

Lowkey the storage changes would’ve made the grind better/harder
I think the original storage system could've worked if they leaned into a slower more hardcore gameplay loop, but it was a weird mix of systems that just ended up feeling like a needless chore.
A full-loot hardcore PvP New World could've been interesting.
1. Is this free to play?
2. Is it pay to win?
3. Is it collect crystal shards from the store to improve your armour
4. Is there proper raids?
1: Buy to play
2: No p2w, I have videos on my channel fighting naked and beating top rank.
3: No, it has proper crafting, and crafted items are BiS, considering circumstances
4: Yes, but not as many as WoW
@@AlexandrosNewWorldsir whats the best weapon combo for pvp right now? Newbie here

I think that's okay though. I'd rather have 100 hours of fun and then drop it than have to slog through 100 hours of boring to get to the fun.
I played for a bit during the beta and couldn't really get into it.
I wanted to try again, but I play PC and they don't do a free trial on pc like they do console.
I refuse to pay full box price just to try it.
Hopefully they get a trial on pc soon.
Was the beta free to play? I played it but I thought I had to buy the game first.
@ you had to preorder to play it, so I preordered through Amazon and then cancelled it when I wasn’t really feeling it.
GAME SUCKS ARR THE END IM REALY PISSED TAKES FOREVER T QUE GEAR IS BORING TRASNSMOG SUCKS GET ME OUT OF HER

no new world stil bad notting new just so bad like
i want this game to burn simply because of how poorly they monotized it.
i am very displeased on how the transmog system was handled, its the epitome of greed.
Amazon is a small indie studio that needs your support
You are mad because a buy-to-play game has a legit cash shop? For the transmog, you can easily get free token through the FREE season pass.
