I feel your pain, I had a dream that character stiffness when moving, the look of female characters and swimming in water would change but they dropped a new patch ignoring these annoying issues and that did it for me. I did not purchase the new patch with the mounts and stuff, just uninstalled the game, abandoned it and moved on. The game had potential, LOTS of it, I just loved the randomness of the world and that you could interact with every little thing and get completely submerged in it but they clearly ignore the community.

Jay, I apologize if this has been asked before. What is your interest level in World of Warcraft? Haven't seen you cover it so not sure if you are maybe not interested? MMORPG wise it feels like it is the one in the spotlight at the moment. Since they have all the different versions out right now. Cataclysm Classic, Pandaria Remix, War with in expansion etc. Just curious if you have any interest in covering content for it.

They move the studio over and it gets put in maintenance mode. I can't imagine Amazon has been making very much money from New World for quite a while. Most of their sales I would imagine came from the original launch of the game.

I was beyond hyped for New World and waited, impatiently, for it to release. I loved it through the launch and through the first year, waiting and knowing how good it could be, I gave the devs plenty of good faith. But my gosh dude they completely blew through it quickly after that and it just blows to see where the game has been since then. I love New World and it could be such an incredible game if they would just DO SHIT WITH IT. Like sometimes I get on and wonder how they even got it finished in any reasonable timeframe with how slow and horrible the updates are, it honestly doesn't even feel like the same team is who made it is who works on it anymore.

PC was early access for console players. I will never NEVER trust Amazon Games. Amazon Games will not provide long-term support, will cancel, and will use PC gamers for consoles.

They should add stratagems with air strikes, cross with marvel skins and add PTW battle pass rewards and the will transform into their final form.

[@PeterPanbe]

I personally think this was the best decision: to aim 100% at the massive potential new players on console, and presenting it without the history. Also the switch to soloing is smart, as studies show that the mahjority of MMO players play mainly solo. I have often jumped in and out of NW, and this is the first time I feel enthousiastic about it.

[@jamesmalcolm4288]

They didnt even thank the PC players for doing their job and beta testing their console game. Just threw everyone under the bus and gave themselves a pat on the back.

Pretty fucking much. If that isn't a big giant F U from AGS I don't know what is. You ask me I think the entire Gaming Community should come together and pull up Bud Light move on AGS.

I quit right before the expac and im actually cautiously optimistic.

[@Agumon5]

I don't think many of us on console were clamoring for a new world release ... Don't know that they're going to get the massive surge in popularity they expect. I remember when the game came out. It didn't interest me then it doesn't really interest me that much now. The fact that it's available on console where I play most of my games doesn't really change that much ... But who knows I might be completely wrong. In general, a cross-play PVP game doesn't strike my fancy as a console player. Why the hell would I want to be at a disadvantage? There's a reason why ESO is not cross play between PC and console. There's a reason why so many games that have cross play allow for disabling that feature within console.

[@DPBMIrage]

Issue is not console but that NW devs prefer to focus on content that can be forgotten in a week or two every 4-6 months. There is no end-game content and they have already received suggestions but decided for a short-term content that it hurt new players because no one wants to sit again for 100 times to get an artifact from a max lv elite mob.

[@btackett2]

New Worlds fan base has been ridiculously patient with AGS. I came back for the expansion and a couple days later as a casual I had already reached max level and had done the things that were there for me. That expansion was terrible imo, especially for a paid expansion, yet people hung in there and kept waiting and waiting (as they had for years) for them to fix all the issues. I hate seeing it, as a concept it could be an amazing game in the right hands but AGS does not seem to really give much of a shit about the community

[@Pawuch]

[@akadama-1978]

There are over 1 mio Pc-Players out there with a copy of New World and there is a reason why they quit and dont feel it is worth to come back. Console players will come and we will see the same player dropp because under the hood nothing changed. During the past years we also see that AGS learned nothing and this will continue. I still play and love this game but hope things getting better is zero. Take NW as it is and expect nothing. Good job Jay and thanks for your work to keep this game alive.

[@Noneofyourbusinesswhatsoever]

Despite all of its short falls, I loved Funcom's Secret World. New World reminded me a lot of Secret World. For awhile I was convinced Amazon must have used Secret World ideas and simplified them. Secret World had many flaws but I thought it was superior in imagination, puzzles and story. Secret World relaunched itself in 2017 as Secret World Legends. I did the update, logged into Secret World Legends. It was clunky. They made the combat into action - combat. The magic was gone. I worry this is what will happen when New World "Aeternum" launches.

It's frustrating to see Amazon Game Studios treating loyal PC gamers like this. But from a business standpoint, it seems they made the announcement before Summer Game Fest to build hype among pc gamers. They couldn't focus on adding more content as they were busy fixing the game for console release. This should reassure PC gamers that future investments from console gamers will allow for more content development, as the focus shifts from fixing the game to expanding its features.

Agree, expectation on PC community destroyed. IMHO, the Console release a right direction for AGS to earn money, They will sell it to provide 40-100 hours of great experience. Up to 200 hours NW is great! Main issue AGS must concentrate on fixing BUGS, otherwise Console players will kill the game by refunds. I'm 100% sure, the current dev team will work on LordOfRing game... NW development(or pure support) will be moved to Romania for maintenance... You should not expect new features during this time, the knowledge transfer is not easy... in case, they get "high rotation" (leaving company) in Romania -> even more time will be required.

As a BDO console player, let me tell you that console will get treated just as poorly as PC if not worse. They will finally be able to reallocate the people responsible for making the console version. AGS should have planned to make it crossplatform out the gate if that was the plan. Both console/PC players are going to suffer from the split development efforts. Instead of overhauling the game (like FFXIV ARR) they figured they could get an "easier" cash infusion by releasing on console.

[@Toadbabe]

It will take AGS 6 months to clean up the console bugs. During this time, the lack of end game content will cause most of the console players to leave. Most of the PC users will already be long gone. And you wonder, how hard would it have been to have new bgs (OPR for years is so boring), arenas other than 3v3, make wars more accessible (a bg modeled after a war?), etc. Who asked for a free for all PvP zone? Well, AGS thinks that’s what PC players wanted so let’s just see if they were right.
