Named Crafting NERFED! EVERYTHING That Changed From PTR To Expansion Release! ⚔️New World Expansion

[@DukeSloth]

Since there are a lot of people arguing in favor of the Chromatic Seal change, consider HOW many things need Faction Tokens now: Chromatic Seals (20k per) for Artifacts, Named Items, Scarab Rolls as well as Azoth Inductors (75k per) for Prismatic Crafts. Almost all lategame gearing is now tied to Faction Tokens. Faction missions are the main way to get tokens and the vast majority of the player base does NOT like Faction missions: kzbin.infoUgkxT9vV5A0ucAiCCK36c__ApPBor7EGJyFn I have no issue with craftings being time-gated or expensive. I have an issue with them requiring you to do the most boring activity in New World. If they massively improved the Token gain from Territory pushes, it would be more understandable.

[@crinch841]

I'd be completely in favor of this change IF the Chromatic Seals were BoE. Was always nice to make a little extra coin when Token capped from OPR or Daily 3 Faction Missions off Shards of Consecrated Iron/Runes of Holding.

[@madhouse2275]

that's why you should only do the first three per day and then stop. treat it as if it were a softcap giving you still the option to grind more, which is imo way better than just a hardcapped, time-gated cap. spend 10 minutes - get 2 chromatic seals, per day. invest 2 days worth of dailies - get a azoth inductor (of which you can only buy 1 per week anyway) -completing faction missions will get even faster with mounts -you can also get 'lucky' by unlocking a pvp track reward with extra tokens while doing just the 3 dailies. -make use of the ebonscale fort buff for that 5% faction store discount (you don't have to flip it daily, spend your tokens once your faction happens to have it) -combine all of it with the 'loyalty' perk on your bags. your point about faction missions being boring still stands and i dont want to make it sound like 'good' content, but getting faction tokens is probably the easiest and least time consuming thing you can do in new world. bop currency and items are also a great step against rmt and people that shortcut all gear progression with gold.

[@StealthBoyElite]

I'm fine with the change as it is but 100% agree with you on this. I've spend probably more than the average player on faction missions (both PVP and PVE but probably skewed more for the latter because, for the longest time, I did at least 3 Mangled Heights PVE missions every day for the daily bonus) but I still think the entire faction mission system is in desperate need of an overhaul. Faction missions are not just repetitive but they're RNG, meaning you can't even do the ones you want most of the time. Who actually does the corruption portal ones? Not only do faction missions need a revamp (I'd personally do away with PVP "missions" altogether and introduce a new way to find PVP in the open world entirely, along with good faction rewards as you go and I'd prefer it if the PVE faction missions were always 100% selectable and all the bad ones deleted due to no one taking them up) but the way we get faction rewards (coin, rep and tokens) should be more interwoven into our daily routines and flavoured with our choice of faction. A very basic example might be that certain named kills will result in faction rewards and the named on the "kill list" might change every day, or be based on your faction (Marauders vs Human, Syndicate vs Ancients, Covenant vs Lost, as a basic example). These more passive methods could be capped every day. And/or we could opt to hand in salvage scraps for rep and tokens instead of using them for crafting experience/materials. And maybe even a seasonal quest for each faction? Like, as a covenant, a seasonal crusade which gives you seasonal experience but also gives you really nice faction rewards as you go. I'm talking no more detailed than the pretty basic seasonal quests we get already, just unique for each faction and rewarded primarily via faction rewards. Also... do away with the flippin' faction token caps already and just give us one single, very high cap (like we have for gold). It entirely spoils the whole process, forcing you to waste tokens on things you might never want. If I want to build up a million tokens to buy all the items I want in one go, why shouldn't I be able to?

[@Google_Censored_Commenter]

Worth remembering that you can get 45% more faction tokens from the new bags!

[@AlexandrosNewWorld]

Hi mate! Just my 2 cents here: This poll, does NOT represent the majority of the player base. It's a small sample 2k only, and assuming those are individual votes, it's simply a false fact to assume that most of NW players hate PVP missions. Do they need an overhaul? Imho, yes. But I don't hate doing them. I actually am glad for the changes cuz this will force PVP around specific map locations.

[@Kupoinfo]

If you do 3 daily faction missions, they give enough tokens each day for your daily chromatic seal.

[@cosmicxchaos]

I don't think it's too bad, but I do feel like they need introduce more ways to get faction tokens. I'd be more happy to run Faction quests if they offered a reasonable gold reward alongside them. The faction shop charges crazy gold prices on top of the token costs. Yet the quests don't come close to helping with that in the slightest.

[@StovnOG]

Okay hot take, but Chromatic Seal being BOP is amazing, People who war for Stimmy and make 200k a week are now held to the same gating as the rest of us. GREAT CHANGE

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Ikr, free upgrade was just stupid especially while entire crafting was blocked behind faction shop already. Now everybody is blocked, yay! But economy is collapsing tho..

[@windy653]

To make mounts viable in PvP or OPR, AGS needs to make it so you can not move while summoning/casting your mount. Doing so will interrupt the cast. Reason being all you'll have are cat and mouse chase fights once u go against a rapier/x light.

[@baikennep4489]

I don't mind that the artifacts that drop from Expeditions, now only drop on Mutated stages, but I have to ask, was it a good idea to put a significantly important piece of gear in a time gated content? where if a player wants a specific item, they have to wait 2 to 3 weeks just to get the mutated expedition they need to actually farm the gear?

[@Akanat0r]

It’ll be too easy

[@baikennep4489]

@@Akanat0r its not about the ease, I can run M3s, its about not wanting to wait a full 4 week for the expedition you want to come into mutated rotation, do you not get that?

[@SteveGanj]

I feel like it would be a good idea for faction tokens to drop in bundles from other events like throw them in those arena spoils/chest runs to capitalize on all the newly required vendor specific crafting mats

[@Zynsk1]

You do get a little bit from OPR, but I agree, they should be added to a a few more activities.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Yeah sure, crafters will tear their arses while trying to craft items while you people will get tokens from doing same things you usually do...

[@Reiberino]

for me, i think the worst part about the chromatic seal change/addition to named items upgrading, is that chromatic seals are bind on pickup. i leveled up a couple alts to 60 without faction because i think it's pretty pointless when i'm mostly pve-focused. but i'm hoping the upgraded versions are still bind on equip, so i can still have a friend or so do the upgrade for me. edit: named items were bind on equip in the ptr, thus were tradeable.

[@lefraunhofer8869]

[@thecombatcactus4254]

My guess is performance related, OPR already runs like hot fucking garbage

[@jocerv43]

It's fine, artifacts are strong, might as well make the entry cost somewhat high. Everyone complains about no open world pvp and then complain they "force" players to actually part take.

[@MS-wz9jm]

Mounts removed from OPR is a great thing. Essentially it was a significant reduction in respawn time resulting in little to meaning of kills/deaths. Respawn and back to the point in a few seconds.

[@thecombatcactus4254]

Yep, map was designed when we were told mounts will never be in NW. Shouldn't be allowed in OPR

[@xVivianx]

about the chromatic seal, we are talking about GS 700 with two perks of your choice or reroll of named items/artifacts, I think this type of craft cannot and should not be easy, I thought it was a wonderful change, in addition to giving more utility the faction missions, I don't think that the way in which you earn faction points should be improved, after all it is balanced as it is, if we keep making everything easier in the game we will reach a point where there is no reason to do certain things and the game will become boring again!

The named crafting change is 100% about slowing down gear progression. AGS knew named crafting would become the easiest way for 700gs if these were no speedbumps added.

[@Gios2806]

Not having the mounts in OPR is a good decision in my opinion since it would simply be unfair to people that do not buy the OPR. They can´t make different MM for the players due to playernumbers - so atleast even the Playfield by not allowing the mounts.

You must be confused on trading from trade skills. I’m fine if people give the mats but you shouldn’t expect everything handed so easily. Also faction points is so easy first 3 grant a bonus and if you leveled up cities you can designate one to be your faction farming territory. Since u can’t trade faction points just charge your buddies more mats then ez or gold for it

Chromatic Seal change is fine. They made normal crafting completely pointless. With adding some limitation to crafting with them, RNG crafting with trophies/gear will still be relevant for bulk crafting.

[@DukeSloth]

My issue is not with it having a limitation. I'd be completely fine with it having a daily CD or something. My issue is with the limitation being faction tokens, arguable the most obnoxious resource in New World.

[@Tukotaga2024]

i think faction tokens is fine, i'm sick to death of people using gold to get to the top. bop currency, bop items is good. the issue, is the crappy faction quests. the game is going in the right direction with bop currency and items. gotta combat the gold buying warloggers somehow. so i see the longterm solution, evne if it means faction tokens@@DukeSloth

[@cragor]

@@DukeSloth Fair enough. Faction missions are due for a major rework as in their current state they are some of the most mind numbing content in the game. But just being able to buy everything from the trading post and and guaranteeing 700GS item with 2 perks was a bit strong and it made normal crafting completely pointless. I think putting these items behind a faction store is good because that will desaturate the market. But I wish they would have reworked the whole faction mission system into something better.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

@@DukeSloth Crafting also had faction token moronity in PTR but nobody cared about it, right?! I actually adviced AGS to use Chromatic seal for upgrade as well to become a bottleneck against their abuse lol.

[@galixeesgrotto5805]

Honestly I just quit playing because I didn't have an income. I want to be a crafter and MAKE all my gear and weapons. BUT that requires all three houses and the major luck trophies in tandum. Which in order to get to this point I would need a stupid amount of money just to get the trophies or the materials in order to craft them. Then I would need to buy the 3 houses. Which I'd eventually lose since there is a cost to maintain the house. If I were to come back to the game and since all the servers have been condensed there are a ton of players now. Result being getting materials to make things to sell to make money is stupidly annoying and time consuming. Which is major issue with New World. Don't get me wrong though, I'm fine with how it is structured, what I am not fine with is the basic materials being the exclusive start to anythign and everything. You need Iron ore to make an iron ingot. Okay thats fine. But you also need Iron Ingots to make Asmodeum Ingots. "Oh but that's not true!" some people scream at me. FALSE, it is true. You need Iron to make steel, you need steel to make Starmetal, you need starmetal to make Orichalcum, and you need Orichalcum to make Asmodeum. This is NOT how making ingots works at all in the real world, which yes, fair point this is a game and I shouldn't compare it to the real world. But FFS, at least make it so there are different smelting condtions to make a higher tier ingot rather than force everything to be made of the same basic material. HOWEVER, if they made gathering completely player per player instanced for the lower tiers of basic materials, and the higher tiers only partially instanced... Then there wouldn't be a problem. A game is meant to be fun. Painstakingly gathering a material that has an increasing multiplier on how much it is used based on what tier you are crafting at, ONLY to craft something that doesn't have the perks you want on it and forcing you to repeat the same gathering over and over again... That is crushing to a lot of people. Sure there will be the masochist that enjoys being stepped on and likes the grind. But this is just something that hurts a crafting system, unless if the crafting system has a lot more depth in how it works and what you can do in it, all the way down to the recipes itself. And then to put a cap on it, al lyour crafting work is meaningless unless you have your three houses and all the trophies, because you cant ever make anything close to the gearscore for endgame.

[@botta88]

Removing mounts from OPR is a massive L IMO. I’d argue that a lot of people who think it’s good didn’t actually try it or spend much time with it on PTR. Not to mention, mounts are pretty much one of the main focuses in the expansion and for people who spend most their time in PVP modes, they will never even get to see their mount. The map is huge and there is no reason to not try it for a while. If it honestly turns out somehow destroying the mode then fine, revert it. But the mode is already a bit of a disorganized mess, so honestly what does it really hurt.
