New World Returning / New Player Guide, So Many Changes Since Launch, Don’t Miss Anything

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Hey guys, just wanted to make this video because I have been finding that with new and returning players there is a ton of confusion on what changes are currently in live from previous updates, vrs what is new on PTR from brimstone.

[@Android25K]

Thank you for this video, it's a pretty nice recap of everything that has happened for returning players like me. Between this and your updated guides, this channel is as useful as it was when I was last in the game, thanks

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Glad I could help!

[@GoodwinGeryon]

You put more care into your videos than Amazon puts into their game.

[@twahly8170]

Ironically I just came back since October 2021 and I think you are the most soothing and informative creator. Thank you!

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Yay, thank you!

[@fransorka8074]

best summary on YT what changed since premiere, excellent!

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrbicboi2540]

Great guide ! subscribed looking forward for more of these returning/beginner guides

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

More to come!

[@__boo]

Thank you!!!!! you made my return feel so much less overwhelming lol

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Glad I could help!

[@adsadas80]

Damn, just googled the exact title while waiting for twitch drops and downloading the game. Was stockpiling those skins since the dupe scandal. Time to try it again. Thank you for the information.

[@nicholustaylor9443]

been consuming your content for a week and it made starting this game a fun time

[@SkullJr]

TBH, the dev steam for this game is amazing 1 year, lost 80% of population, and still continue to become better, and now the games hype is back POGGERS

[@tomaszmachniak3726]

Thank you for the videos. I'm coming back to the game, having quit way before gypsum was introduced. You help me a lot.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Glad I could help!

Love you videos I share them all with my company on discord. Just thought I would throw in one item that should go down in price and that will be salt, but on a different note Onions are going to skyrocket in price.

[@sa30tage]

I really appreciate your videos since returning to New World ✌️

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Happy to hear that!

[@gamezonereactions8388]

As expected the numbers initially were trending up, then flattened off, and now according to steam charts they are trending downward. This will probably continue until the official release of Brimestone Sands update. Which will bring another hype trend up, flatten, then head downward as usual. Until they fix their core mechanics of shell companies, wars, gold distribution, node management, RNG casino crafting, latency/desync, OPR maps, solo vs premade matchmaking, and all the other annoying bugs, it will continue this pattern.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

The desync I haven't found to be an issue in some time on US servers anyhow, also lat never goes about 30 , there are still many issues to fix, but many you listed are from October and were fixed months ago

[@christaylor9656]

@@5HeadSurvivalGaming I still struggle with game performance due to it still being badly optimised

[@fransorka8074]

u wrong, check steam charts again

[@gamezonereactions8388]

@@fransorka8074 Do a deeper dive, check out the discrepancies between nwdb and steam charts. You'll notice 5k+ differences between the two at times. Then take a closer look at when the peak numbers hit on Sunday for the US, which is Monday for the EU. I think AGS might be manipulating the numbers like they were caught doing with their Prime Video reviews.

[@mufasafalldown8401]

I'll be coming back to play casually and enjoy some dungeons, but I think you are right. I actually think the core design of "owning" territories is pretty bad. It doesn't work because factions mean nothing... they might as well be called purple, green, yellow. Let's fight to the death to control this city, but once the battle is decided it's like nothing ever happened. Everyone is friendly again. I think it's a dumb system, and it's basically the main premise of the game.

[@jweezy15able]

I appreciate the effort the dev team is putting into updates and reworks. The game is superior to its launch by miles. However, there's still some changes I want to see. Outside of the stuff they already planned on working on, which are in the PTR, I want them to draw focus to the lack of high tier gathering locations. Specifically Silk, but the others would be nice. It's hard to compete with 12 people going full bot mode (figuratively and literally) on a specific rescorce and having no choice but to spend money in the shop to get materials. I can find a few here and there, but not enough to really train them.

[@d3adagain385]

There is simple fix to this - remove non-PvP mode Bots suddenly dissapear, more PvP in the game, players need to evolve if they want to be effective.

[@nolan66617]

@@d3adagain385 or hear me out, release a god damn pvp only server exactly to fight bots

[@Android25K]

@@d3adagain385 I don't think that's a good idea. Not everyone likes to be PVP. What happens if you're a new player with only level 10 armor and weapons and come across a 625 lvl 60? Or not even that, what if you hate PvP entirely and just want to have a nice day farming and gathering to craft gear for expeditions or to decorate your house

[@d3adagain385]

@@Android25K Life isn't fair. Not everyone is so savage that they chase every man with enabled PvP. It would exterminate bots for sure so.. Lesser evil

T0he main constraint of housing storage, the rediculously low unique item limit, that isn't effected by house size or chests, is still the main constraint of housing storage

I agree!

Love your videos, yours are hands down the best. But I have a question. I honestly can't tell if your voice narrative is your actual voice or a synthesized voice? Sorry if that sounds like a dis, it isn't, just an honest question.

[@rekt9226]

Thanks for your videos man!! :D btw do you know anything about the starstone mutations?

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

What are you wondering about ?

[@KamiKaXi]

i am a returning player and I'm having a blast in the game 😊✌🏾

[@themagicalex]

I gotta say, that starting screen made me giggle.

[@cuneytbolkan2374]

very good and simply explained, thanks for the video!

[@kurtc2435]

still trying to get to level 60 and confused if i should level to 60 first or get gather skills to max first thanks for any advice on this matter in advance. Also love your content been a subscriber for some time, im a returning player, last played back AT christmas time, with the yeti event

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

I wouldn't go max on your gather skills before 60, but also push them up a bit, it should happen quite fast naturally

[@tayalt2406]

That’s a lot!! A bit sad to find out about the suspended trade between players once again today, but I do love this game. Do you pretend to make a new video on culinary craft?

[@nkdgma]

Thank you for the video, I remember quitting because I was tired of competing with bots for supplies. I know that will always be an issue with most games but has AGS done more about their botting problem?

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Bots are still around, but not nearly as much, and get banned regularly

[@ollZYr]

They basically made the game a lot easier and less grindy :)

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

wich is what people seemed to want :P if you go through the reddit from NOV/Dec :/

[@fransorka8074]

the grind still is high but they provided many layers of it with in-middle rewards plus many methods to accomplish same goal

[@CesarSanchez-vk4ei]

I just started playing the this game and I am on the PTS. I stumble in to your content two days ago and after seen many of your detailed videos I can’t help but to ask, is there something you don’t know about the game? 😆 Edit: oh and thank you for your videos.

I never played the game but I heard that a new player experience is coming with voice acting and better story introduction so I am waiting for that to hit live servers and then I will join, when does it release ?

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

No one knows for sure, but best guess seems to be October 18

[@taylorman40x9]

Best thing they did was lowering fast travel cost of azoth while carrying a full load.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Yes, also the cross settlement storage!

[@eternalvigilance5697]

I'd come see how things have changed, but I am waiting for a fresh start server I think. I feel like the economy was too wrecked by the dupes in the beginning.

Buggy and ridiculous release policy of not testing anything. Just been perm banned for no reason at all. something to do with duped items i purchased legally from the Auction house i believe. Madness. Customer service is terrible and they dont care about the player base. For this reason not a game i would recommend as i sunk 1800hours legit play into the game to be deleted for no reason other than a developer bug and my bad luck.

[@pawelkapica5363]

I am a solo player and I simply find that there is not enough enjoyable content for solo players. If I go to an elite zone that is 10 levels below me in difficulty I still get owned by too many enemies for a miniscule xp and reward chance. I heard there is supposed to be an single player dungeon, but thats it. SUre I enjoyed logging and mining and fishing for a while and the world is pretty but there is no interesting content imo. Sure thats just my opininon, its personal taste. Edit: I just watched a video. That new solo dungeon is literally just one boss room. Lmao
