While I want to agree, I have to think the goats are a better AI. The whole point of the AI in this game is to distract you from the goal of getting really good gear and taking out the end game mobs. Goats do an amazing job of being annoying and distracting you from whatever you are doing, and on top of that they run away, entice you to chase them after they headbutt you, and will lead you running into mobs or across the map only to see them despawn, leaving you infuriated that you got duped by a silly AI.

@@BJMcKay44 This is the new norm for triple A game devs, like Halo Infinite for example where they make you pay $20 for the color red as an armor coating, but they can sell you that color an infinite amount of times because it’s unnecessarily tied to a specific armor instead of universal for every armor core like in previous Halos. The game is unfinished, you can’t even select your gamemodes, if you thought New World was a grind the Halo battlepass (which you paid for) takes an entire year, if you’re lucky, to complete and most of the unlocks are fillers like “daily quest swaps”. It’s mind numbing how incompetent gaming companies have become. New World is an example of MMORPGs taking several steps back and learning nothing from their predecessors. Halo Infinite is an example of making a worse version of Halo 3, which was fucking released in 2007.

So they not only lie to their consumers they go out of their way to get rid of any evidence they lied in the first place, even though people saved the showcase video and are uploading it because we knew this would happen. Just because it’s free doesn’t mean this is a good F2P model, it’s one of the worst, they’re literally charging you $20 for the color red.

24:55 Odd he doesnt mention this but the town upgrade loop is utterly fucked. The higher tier town project upgrades for crafting require serious amount of gold from the owning company. And the only way they get enough gold is if there's alot of traffic to the town. What ends up happening is that companies cant afford the later upgrades, and because there's no upgrades, there's no town board quests, and because there's no upgrades or quests, nobody goes to that town, so therefore, there's no traffic, and as there's no traffic, there's no tax income and the company cant afford any upgrades and on and on it goes into a death spiral. Only Everfall and Windsward are properly upgraded in most servers, with every other higher level town being just fucking dead.
@jackcollis72582 жыл бұрын
I thinking one of the main things that will improve town traffic, regardless of the town board quests, will be the linking of the trade posts. I'm guessing it will move not all, but some of the population in windsward and everfall and spread it around the other towns, really the only reason I go to windsward or everfall is the guarantee of cheap mats, if I could go anywhere I'd stay somewhere nice like Ebonscale.

honestly the only way to fix this problem is to have each town have a different crafting station specialization (meaning every town cant make all their stations T5). the linked PXs are too late to do anything, especially since its ultimately geography and the availability of the tier 5 crafting stations that make certain towns more populated than others. And the money is in housing tax a/w.

@@brandonleconte4922 I've also played Asheron's Call, DAoC, WoW, Age of Conan, DDO, Perfect World, FFXIV and others, and one might think, with our experience in the genre, that we would not tear a game down in the first 6 weeks, if the developers are actively at work addressing issues and pumping out patches. It's not like they've held your wallet ransome with monthly fees. Nor have they implemented pay to win in any capacity. The worst thing about this game thus far is the community (the exploiters and people who seem to hang around YT and reddit with nothing positive to say). I'm not saying NW is the next best thing. It may never raise to the scale of FFXIV or WoW. But if someone is having fun, let em have it. If you find the game completely unfulfilling then move on? Isn't that a reasonable course of action? And btw, there was a metric shit ton of imbalance all throughout DAoC's life. Smite clerics had to be nerfed hard because no one was healing due to dps and cc ability, animists and their field of mushrooms which would lag down and kill entire zergs.

"The NPCs collision box is larger than its hit box because of the scaling" Fucking THANK YOU, I'm so happy someone brings this up! One of if not my single most infuriating thing in this game revolving around combat (Second only to the friendly-body-blocking) is that they just dumped enemies into this game with a scale slider and didnt test at all how that would impact their hitboxes. The Greatsword enemies you talk about? The tall/scaled up ones have giant gaps between their legs that make spears unuseable against them because the "auto aim" in this game stabs your directly between the giblets and you just whiff air on 80% of your swings. Its just such an obvious and simple concept, when you scale up the enemy, check to make sure their hit boxes dont wonk out and you have Melees doing everything right and whiffing air between the legs... like right? Edit: Also that "Victory Animation that locks your character" you talk about at 23:25 ... You know you can press ESC to immediately dismiss it and resume moving right?

Appreciate your video and outlook. To me it's soulless and empty. Crafting and gathering doesn't interest me. The reason why it's a grind is because outside of grinding there's no core to the game. Quests are boring and repetitive. If they wasn't prepared to take time and develop good PvE systems they should of just stayed PvP focused. It's a pretty walking and crafting simulator with mmo aspects. They should have pulled it, gave it another 18-24 months in the oven and then relaunched it. As for exploiting, can we talk about how amazon have exploited the player base with copy and pasting everything from map layouts, buildings, quests, mobs, bosses, basically everything to turn a 5 hour game into a 60 hour+ game hahaha

The watermark system by design is terrible. I have seen entire factions run a "train" through all the high level areas, just running past all the monsters in the area to loot chests every 24 hours. Spam killing the same elites over and over waiting 5-10 minutes between respawns HOPING something drops then hoping again it is the slot they need to upgrade, and hoping lastly for it to be a higher watermark. There is nothing clever, engaging or fun about it. Now they want to raise it to 620. They will probably keep raising it in the future, making it require even more time investment to stay top geared.

The crafting economy seems to have run into the same issue that WoW had back when profession perks were a thing. So you had a bunch of max level players either starting a profession or switching professions based on whether jewelcrafting or cloth or inscription was meta. These high level rich players didn't have time to gather resources or do it gradually, and they're starting from scratch, so they buy up all the low-level mats at inflated rates to blitz through their ideal crafting paths, and those mats end up being high value on the AH. Meanwhile all mats that aren't on the 'ideal crafting path' have zero value, and even end-game materials have only so much value because everyone's producing them and eventually nobody needs them.

@jasonmartel8542 жыл бұрын
Watermark system reminds me of Destiny 2's system, with stupidity added in. Destiny 2 you get gear up to x above your currenct gear level, but until you reach the soft cap (so you can rapidly get to the first barrier fairly easily). And it's averaged across all gear slots, so you don't have to farm them all individually. The soft cap has minor advantages to going past it, but it only really applies to raids, grandmasters and iron banner (the extreme endgame content, except iron banner, which is the place where non hardcore people will feel it most) Past the soft cap gear increases can only be farmed a specific number of times, from specific content (one from doing x strikes, from x pvp, from x gambits, from a certain mission, etc) resetting each week. And it's done based on gear average, so sometimes you'll be screwed (and get something you already had recently, so it's only +1-2 power), but if it's something you haven't got in ages then you can easily get a +10-12 or so boost on a slot. You can also average out stats (it's done on an average, so picking up 'average' gear pieces can allow other slots to catch up). After a few hours grinding to the softcap (probably working on latest story at the same time) you can hit the softcap fairly easily and then work on getting to the next cap. Then past that first cap, there's another hardcap, which you can only get via pinnacles (even rarer, and from the very top content basically), and each pinnacle will be +2 above current average power, with the max being 10 higher than people that just stop at the previous cap (fairly meaningless for most people). Since you have 8 gear slots, you need at minimum 4 pinnacles on different gear slots to boost average power by 1, at which point you would be getting pinnacles at +3 beyond the cap (and powerfuls would be averaging to 1 above) and so on and so forth. The difference of 10 power really doesn't change much,. but it gives something for endgame players to chase. Getting to the powerful gear cap probably will take several days if you've done it before, but even a new player won't take more than a few weeks (making use of weekly lockout stuff can speed it up a lot). Getting to pinnacle cap is somewhat rng (you need to hit pinnacle in every slot eventally, so final pinnacle's can be a slog), but generally a few months and you should have it pretty much guaranteed (on a 3 month cycle before the caps increase with the next release)

I think I've played around 50 hours. I stopped playing the game two weeks ago, because I was just bored (I'm currently at lvl 35). I enjoyed the game for the most part because it is fun to go through the world and the combat and crafting are interesting, but for me the game needs more: - More enemy variety - While being beautiful as a whole, the world itself is very repetitive. There are to many reused assets and almost no recognizable landmarks. - Factions need more identity (through story and characters). Right now they are just colors - Small scale PvP - PvP in general needs to be more rewarding. - Better questing. New World has probably the worst questing I've ever seen in a big MMORPG. - More "lore" and story. This obviously is strongly connected to the questing and faction part. - More weapons, gear and zones - A dynamic Open World. I think the "World" (Open World) is the foundation of this game. They really need to make it more dynamic. I think a questing system more like the one in Guild Wars 2 would have been a much better fit for the game. Events that regularly take place all over the World would also help. If they don't give up on the game I will maybe have a look again in a few months, but right now I'm not really motivated to keep playing this game.

I know a lot of people quitting due to the things you've mentioned that had over 300-400 hours played (including myself). The maps looks copy pasted, the mobs look copy pasted & there isnt any thing special te do around the world. Concept of the game was amazing, but the lazyness in putting in some effort to not copy paste 75% of the whole map baffles me. Even the "recognizable" structures in the game are being copy pasted, like big bridges or towers. Very dissapointed in the game and Amazon ( since they're a billion dollar company ). Might give it a small shot when the expension comes out, but if it's shit again I'm done. What baffles me the most is that for expample a game like GW2 that came out like 8 years ago has a better lore, better looking map, better looking mobs, world bosses and all that. In 8 years time besides world pvp and wars Amazon studio has done 0% improvement ( even going backwards ) in making a beautiful diverse lore driven game then a game that released almost a decade ago. It's just a shame.

The one thing EQ did so right, that no MMO's have really done since - most of those items could be used forever, and didn't need to be worn. You could click them from your backpack. So they were permanent upgrades to your character, like unlocking a new skill. Jboots, Guise, CoS, Primal Velium Weapons, Butcherblock Hammer, Lodi Shield, Lodi Eyepatch, etc etc. That's one of the things I loved so much about that game, and what made it worthwhile doing a long camp for an item, because you knew you were never going to replace it, and it would give you a significant benefit. Funny I can remember these items by name 20 years later, but can't remember items really from many other MMO's since. That's how gamechanger they were.
@black_phantom75062 жыл бұрын
@@guitarskooter yep this is perfectly accurate. And you knew when someone had one of those items and they were known by name on your server. People wearing Planes gear were considered the best of the best. Hell I remember doing my first Plane of Fear raid and having to teleport people in, knowing if I screwed up it was an instant wipe. Haven't really felt that kind of anxiety in an MMO since. FFXIV comes very close.

This is a pretty honest and accurate review. I'm currently 57 with 262 hours in this game and I will admit with zero qualms that I'm dreading the fuck out of this watermark bullshit. There's a lot to like about this game and I've really enjoyed the majority of these hours but even I have some serious issues with it. The bugs are outrageous, some of the most difficult quests prevent players who have already done that quest from interacting with it ever again (well guardian, Yonas the corrupt), and the TUNING ORB system is absolute trash. When I tell you these last 3 levels are making me want to quit playing this game, I say that in utter defeat. Nobody on my server has been asking for help with expeditions at all lately. For like 3 days now I've not been able to find a Dynasty group to save my damn life. Probably because the tuning orb takes hours and hours of farming to create! So annoying. But watch me sink 6 hours into this game tomorrow so I can get my smithing to 200 or something else time-consuming. The game gives you plenty to do. It just needs lot and lots and lots of work.

Awesome video. A lot of these issues have been adressed by now like dungeon chests actually scaling with your personal gearscore (now called expertise) and crafting heavily encourages you to craft the highest tier to level. New type of enemy was introduced (medieval knights) and a new weapon type (void gauntlet). Some nice events like a big turkey boss for thanksgiving and now a winter event for christmas is happening. Still loads to improve on, especially QoL like an updated UI for the auctionhouse and better combat responsiveness, but they are taking huge steps towards improvement. The current state of the game is imo one of if not the best it‘s ever been in

Amazing. something you forgot to mention about the watermark system is that all the gear in new world scales in PVP relatively to who you're fighting. Therefore, ITS MEANINGLESS. Theres some 520gs faction armor that performs better than 600gs voidbent right now. Its ridiculous. Same with damage scaling. It all makes PVP feel completely unrewarding when outplaying your opponents.

He`s right, nothing more to say. I played 500hours and can say the same thing. I never cheated, but i feel ripped off. And the second thing is, endgame is ONLY grinding or wars, theres nothing more... (and i'm in the endgame, but it's to boring for me to farm elite mobs ALL the time). Nearly all your crafting stuff is worthless... most of it you throw away cause you cant sell it. (and the market is broken completely) (until you are high level crafting) No NPC Trader to sell stuff you have to throw away... NPC's are without any soul ... you don't care about them... Story? Where? There is nearly no story... Balance... where? (2hand Hammer for example atm.) No... sorry. For me here is the end (for a few months or forever). Went back to ESO & FF14.

My only issue with the bugs is that it's a player based economy and once it's broken, it's broken. The amount of duped gold in the game is far in excess and spread out more than anyone actually realizes. I don't think Amazon actually knows how far it's gone. I've played other games with broken player based economies, and while some of them are still around, they only appeal to certain players because for the rest of us, we go in, look at prices, etc. (how much time do I have to spend to earn this or get that) and are like okay this is broken. The one saving grace for New World may be that it appears (from the outside looking in) you may be able to actually gather and craft all the various materials on you're own and get around the market place entirely, but then you're just kind of in the EVE economic situation, which again only appeals to certain players.

Eve Online does not allow "storage sheds" to be linked. If you want to move items from one station (one town) to another you carry those items there yourself. Or you hire another player to carry them for you. I am not sure I see the issue with stuff being cheaper to buy in a town than to "transfer" it there. The transfer feature is essentially as if you were hiring an NPC to carry the stuff to the new town for you. Buying groceries in a town where I am located in real life probably is cheaper than paying to having those groceries shipped halfway across the continent.

Yea I'm overall at the point with New World where I am really excited to see where it goes, but I'm taking a break from it. 1-30 had me absolutely enthralled, but after that the game felt like it ran out of rewards - All my abilities were the abilities I was going to have until 60, I would get new zones but the quest formula would stay the same, pvp felt fun but was a little too zergy and "all or nothing"
