And sadly his sentence continue with "no attack cancelling" which is next level casual shit for dummies.

[@Plainsburner]

@@midderBenchmark Disagree, feints and backing out of unfavorable attacks is a real thing in combat, usually still not the most ideal so maybe have a slight penalty in an optimal scenario but should still be possible. Harder should not have to require restrictions if it doesn't have to.

[@BGIANAKy]

@@762x69 for real. This is so true right there. If new world had chilvary 2’s combat, it would be a truly next gen MMO. I am enjoying playing the game but the leveling process is pretty ass, especially post 25. It’s wayyyy too grindy. The animations are super clunky and no animation canceling for dodge/block is unacceptable.

@Eric Dajernais Did he really though?

[@TimboTbagz]

@@midderBenchmark That game he mentioned has action cancelling ya damn casual. Same as dead angle attacks or charging a hit then turning, it baits out responses in addition to avoiding easy parries and gaining opponent information.

[@sergelysak]

Can't swap to the biggest faction, that is fine. But you will just end up with one faction being essentially empty. Hopefully they have other systems in place to encourage balance.

[@xLinksDreheRx]

thats why gw2 WvWvW was nice it was just servers against each other so u couldnt choose to be in the best one. later on ofc ppl PAID for server swaps to be in winning ones but those got matched up against each other then and also small servers got paired with other small servers so they could just like bigger ones have their max cap of players in WvWvW at all times. But in New World i feel one faction dominates and then one will or has to die out to merge into 2nd best so they can maaaybe retake something thus killing the 3 faction dynamicc kinda entirely. They need to think of rlly good ways to rebalance this shit. But its already a good start u cant join leading faction later on. Im wondering now if it would be the play then to wait with joining a faction till u realize which one is the winning one or not. But honestly it would in a way ruin playing with friends but maybe they should just randomly throw u into a faction lmao and force balance this shit idk but they need to find a way to not make 70%+ of the ppl be in the same one

@@bobby45825 Yes, but usually when you play an underdog in a game like this you get compensated in some form. In this game if your faction gets wiped out, you are going to get penalized and your progression and rewards will be hurt because of it. Because of this it seems like in the span of a week every server devolves into a dominant faction, a weaker faction, and a faction that no longer exists.

[@demslay1]

@@matthewdunphy8524 My Faction at the start of the beta was the under dog faction, now we control 1/3 of the map. And the map is evenly split between all three factions, as long as your company can become good at PvP, you will always be able to climb up from nothing.

WoW pirate servers has huge problem - their playerbase. People on reddit are crying about "toxic mythic dps players" on retail, but just imagine the worst toxic keystone pusher, but as a WHOLE COMMUNITY. I played on pirated servers for like 10 years and i can surely say that like 80% of their playerbase is absolutelly brainded narcissistic a-holes without absolutely no shame, who would try to make you feel bad as possible even for a slight mistake you made, and even for things that are not a mistake, but still they think that "Any player should do"

[@Absinthexx7]

@Dr. Van Nostrand the issue with blizzard on private servers is they don’t really go after private servers and for the most part they stay up. My friend asked multiple gms if it’s against tos to play on a private server and wasnt told no.

Honestly the game has been a blast so far, I've spent 50+ hours on the beta which is a lot for me since I don't have lots of free time and it went by so fast. I think long term it's not going to do great but at least for 6+ month's post launch it will be really fun.

I've played 100+ hours during this beta and had more fun than years of previous gaming toguether, also there has been a leak of new content already, and that includes 2 weapons, dual daggers and a void gauntlet with a possible new map

[@InternetWAPx]

Yeah i think long term meh, for a good half a year and above it's gonna be quite a good time to spend on. But it needs qol improvements, it really needs to be worked on a bit longer imo. There's no minimap, the traveling in this game is absolutely atrocious, you are fighting the same 4,5 mobs everywhere in the world, they have no dungeon finder to que up for, you have to basically tell in chat you are looking for a group, the factions in the game have no lore and you don't understand why you choose one over the other, other players can bodyblock you, possibly trap you, you cannot swim and if you fall into deep sea you fall into the bottom. Mind you those are pirates and they cannot swim. lol Like there are many improvements to be made imo, before i can say, okay this is a contender in the mmo market, it definitely needs a bit morr variety in the content too, but the combat is super fun and it's cool it does play like dark souls a bit with the dodging attack and timing it well enough.

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

Whats the point if a mmo if its gonna be bad in the long term

[@Martindbr]

TBH i feel the same, eveyone has had a blast. But i think endgame will not be that fun tho. IMO i enjoyed this game because it was refreshing to play something new and because they manage the imersion part of an RPG to perfection. Just walking in the open world and hearing people mine and shoot a musket miles away is kinda sick. Unfortunatley i don't see that feature as something exciting towards endgame, just like any game you will get used to it. Also another thing that makes me mad is the oportunity for skins, like they are a few combination of skins and they don't look that good, trying to make your character look good in mmos is key, just look at GW2 (not that gw2 is the best game but it sure brings a lot to the table in this subject, legendary weapons look sick and make you feel sick)

[@Supernautiloid]

I disagree. I’ve put 100 hours into the beta. There are lots of MMOs I haven’t played that are technically “new” to me. But they just don’t interest me. This is the first time I’ve been excited about an MMO in years, despite the fact there are lots of other games that I could be playing instead.

[@nessoak621]

@@Supernautiloid Agree. I'm at level 32 in beta and having a lot of fun. There's actually a lot to do and plenty of areas to explore. Some people might not like the openness of it. There's less structure than other games in the genre so people don't get that you have to make your own fun in the game, sandbox style. It kind of reminds me of old Ultima Online. I think its a good start and has a lot of room to grow.

[@cromperer]

@@Ripcraze trying to scale mountains, roll off them afterwards and see if you survive, run in to a high level area by accident and run for your life from mobs that throw kidney stones at you, constant pvp, you can hide in a bush and gank and surprise people, you can take your clothes off and go prone in a fountain and somehow create an infinite ouroboros human centipede circle in the fountain of mostly naked prone men. Pve is okay, fishing is kinda fun too, it's a very nice looking game especially grassland areas so even just standing around is enjoyable in a lot of places. The combat despite only having 6 skills max has a lot of depth to it, with positioning, combos, synergy of weapons, build, animation canceling and so on. It's seemed both fun and fair so far, I died because I sucked and I won because the other guy sucked more.

[@Supernautiloid]

@@Ripcraze The biggest problem the game has at this time is a lack of content. Nobody denies that. The game is very sandboxy and relies heavily on player-driven activities.

Sometimes I feel like the reason why we haven’t had any good mmorpgs in such a long time is not because the devs or the games, but the players. Do the players really know what they want in an mmorpg? Or do they just want to complain about how flawed everything is nowadays? If the game has a cash shop, they say it’s pay to win. If the game is too grindy, they say it doesn’t respect people’s time. If a game is too hard, they say it’s not for everyone. If a game is too easy, they say it’s not challenging enough. If a game has too many story quests, they want the quests to be award winning. If a game has too few quests, they say it feels empty and doesn’t give people anything to do. If a game allows people to solo, they say it’s not a multiplayer game. If a game promotes team play, they say it’s forcing people to play in a specific way. If the game is lagging, they just assume it’s the server’s fault, not their own internet. Do they remember what the MMORPGs were like back in the days when the MMORPG genre first emerged? Do they remember how much fun they had as long as there was a world where they could play with other people in? There were no quests, only some fantasy worlds with background stories that might as well not exist, some monsters that people could grind for loot and XP. There were no endgame other than getting to the max level and getting the best weapons and armors, leveling alts, maxing out alts, leveling more alts. But didn’t we all have fun and weren’t we content with what we had at a certain point? So what changed? What do we really want? What matters more to us, the players, in an mmorpg? The game? Or the people? Again, what changed?

[@latjolajban81]

I completely agree. I have been saying the same thing for years. People think WoW sucks, but every time a new mmorpg comes out, everyone just wants it to be like WoW.

[@racingbeats1493]

I personally love the game so far and will absolutely be playing when it's released 1) not sure what this "easy game" stuff is about. If you do solo quests against enemies at your level or above it isn't just a run through. I find that the lack of "tells" on base level enemy attack animations is part of the skill. You have to learn individual enemy attack patterns. 2) I literally cannot remember a popular game launch that did not have server issues during the initial beta release. I played on the first day after a long queue and didn't have any issues after that at all. Way more than I can say for many games. 3) I hate the uneducated "trillion dollar company" point from this guy. It's a studio that has an operating budget. They do not have access to all the money and talent in the world. If you expected it to be flawless that's on you imo. A game is made by people.

The “trillion dollar company” skit to me is more of a statement of “you have so many avenues fo be better, yet you still chose to be vanilla flavored”. Would you want to be touted as “the world’s strongest man” but have problems gripping a baseball? 5 years and the additional fact that Amazon is a company that has to have MASSIVE servers for their website… And yet they couldn’t overprepare on an MMO? What’s the worst that would happen, they have to shut down a dead server? It’s not like they had to reinvent Dark Souls combat, or work from the ground up on movement, or couldn’t draw from other games on “having more traffic than expected”. Amazon wants to be the “new kid on the block”, but they have no reason to start off with so many rookie mistakes after FIVE YEARS.

[@Darksyde1029]

That feel when the only real complaint in the video is about server performance and some minor bugs in a BETA. They had 200k peak concurrent players as well so server issues were expected and they've already identified and fixed problems that were causing instability. Being a trillion dollar company doesn't automatically fix every technical issue in the world, and even if they could just throw money at it to fix it (which wasn't the case here) the game still has to be financially viable so them being a trillion dollar company doesn't mean they can spend trillions on the game. I personally didn't really experience any server instability and to my knowledge almost all server instability issues have been resolved for the most part. I also think he's underselling the combat a bit considering he's judging it at low level, with no abilities, against PvE mobs which are always boringly easy in every game. PvE is never hard, PvP is where combat shines and in this game the PvP combat is spectacular. Given the fact that those are his two main complaints, and one is has been fixed while the other is subjective and possibly fixed by him just leveling up and accessing more abilities, I don't think calling the game "slightly above average" is a justifiable rating. New World is easily one of the best MMOs to release in the last decade and it looks to have a very bright future. It's at least a 7-8 out of 10 right now and hopefully will continue to get better after launch.

Wasn’t impressed but I do want more competition in the mmo space, so I hope it can improve.

[@CakeorDeath1989]

I agree. More competition always makes games better! Just not from Amazon. Their shady business practices will be as bad as Activision, EA, Ubisoft and Konami times a million..

@@CakeorDeath1989 shady? just like every major corp out there? lol

I guess its just popular to be as negative and whiny as possible nowadays. Half of what this guy said isn't even accurate. The footage shown isn't even from the beta, so I'm not sure why that footage was used instead of more recent gameplay. The game seems fine, and is actually running fairly smoothly relative to most modern MMOs at this stage in their development. Everyone I know who has tried it is excited to play. Of course there's the whole issue of is it going to be P2W with some sort of cash shop boosts. We won't really know that until release. If it is P2W then I can see it being dead within a few months.

[@VisualRift]

I agree with this completely. Everyone that I’ve talked to including other streamers and people in my discord say they really enjoy it

[@Gu3ssWhatsN3XT]

Yeah this looks like old alpha footage plus this dude hasn't even really played it seeing this footage
