New World: Aeternum | Dev Update - November 2024

[@Antvarquatro4]

Pls make soul trial awards worth anything besides 25 coin lol

[@leonkennedy9739]

Agreed soul trials have a lot more potential.

[@ShAd0w0100]

THIS, OMFG. I was so excited to see them, but after I finished my first three I was like, "25 gold? Surely, I must've missed something" NOPE, 25 gold per trial. Never did another one after my first three (I thought, MAYBE, there was a bonus for doing the daily 3)

[@fullmetalathlete]

YES...as a primarily solo player I was really excited about this potential but turns out they're literally not worth the time it takes to do them...I love the concept of hard solo challenge bosses but they have to have rewards that make them worth doing over other content in the game...

[@SchtekarnFU]

Meanwhile if you rush a lvl 20 expedition with your lvl 65 buddies you get 1000g

They keep making their combat system worse and worse. A PVP world is pointless unless they can make their combat work well again, and fix the various exploits.

It can be an extremely low drop rate - I have done ICC on wow about 400 times with no mount drop but every time I get back into that game I will be runnin that raid weekly and its a what... 15 year old raid that I oneshot everything in - this is a great way to promtoe replayability

[@HammerTF]

Elder Scrolls Online has a 24/7 PvP gamemode called "Cyrodiil". This is a open world faction based outpost/keep warfare PvP zone full of insane/fun PvP moments. I've shown this to hundreds of end game new world pvpers & everyone would love to have something similar to this. I highly advise you take a look at it for some insight. This game mode would be a MASSIVE success on New World 100%. This is what the end game PvPer's want more than a new OPR map/Races/Wars/3v3's.

[@HammerTF]

Here's Your PvP Gamemode Problems: Wars - Way 2 much for the average player to join. Way 2 much work as well/heavy armor healer meta = no fun. Custom War's only appeals to a tiny % of people out of millions that have bought this game. 3v3's - 95% of the time unbalanced/not even close. Healers also a huge problem being super O.P. OPR's - Same thing over and over and over. Lopsided matches 85% of the time. Adding a new OPR map doesnt change the fact that OPRs are not a good game mode. Races - Dominated by a single company that is seeking a war. Giant zerg fest. FFA Zone - Dead or people getting ran down by people groping up in what is supposed to be a FFA zone. Also boring looking for chests/gathering materials. Again New World needs to scrap these game modes/move on/not try to improve them. A game mode such as Cyrodiil is exactly what the community needs/wants. I'm saying this with as much respect as possible, the combat is amazing in this game. The game modes were good ideas, but unfortunately will not work out.

[@leonkennedy9739]

The amount of positivity in the comments is crazy. So many people celebrating these changes and the current version of the game.

[@ShrappNewWorld]

FINALLY! BEST DEV UPDATE YET I LOVE THIS BALD GUYS ENERGY!

[@DadBodGamingCollectibles]

Can I PLEASE..PLEEEAAASSEE buy more gear set slots? There are more skills/roles than there are available gear slots. It sucks having to find my X gear, then store it, find a different set when needed, etc. It would be far more beneficial to be able to have more gear slots to keep it with us, and change to chef, Arcanist, miner etc on the fly instead of picking only so many sets to keep and filter to find each piece any time we need to search for them. You're missing out on a lot of money as well overall. Let us buy more slots please!

[@waltershort1051]

Big Time! I would instantly buy as many slots as you will let me. Nice that those slots apply to alt characters but please give us some common inventory slots to move stuff between alts.

You’re changing minds by being more present and giving us original NW players hope for the future. Loving the game since relaunch, and can’t wait to see some of these new updates flesh out. Good point on not splitting the queue too much between to many modes. Don’t dilute, be impactful. We’d rather have quality over quantity. I think yall are seeing that. I am concerned seasonal worlds will take too much pop from the main game.

[@basslime4795]

Guys you have something really special but you need to make the end game loop better. M3 needs to rewards 715 gear, pvp systems need ranking and teams for arenas, balancing and updating weapons, you need to make more than one source for 725 gear that isnt raiding, this game was designed to be pvp game initially and you have hidden best gear around a raid which isnt accessible for most players

[@Savvvo]

THANK YOU - this is exactly what we needed. These updates look great, excited to keep grinding New World!

[@tc-one3749]

Let's be real, when they deliver what they promised in the road maps? I don't know why people forgot so quickly what happened before and still believe "this time it will be different"... NW:A...same thing. Do we need to make another endless list of all the bugs and exploits not fixed after a month? We'll play anyway, sure. But I'll not pretend like AGS is magically changed for good and the road map means something. Fool me once, it's on you. Fool me twice, it's on me. Fool me 3 years straight... You tell me.

I think they did a decent job delivering on the roadmap prior to them fully abandoning it for console support. I do hope quality can be improved though.

[@ThaCousin]

@@cranknnutz I love NW, but just a remainder. S4 had 10 thing on the road map. - 6 cancel or delayed. - We got 4 of 10: 1) One was the battlepass (Ok.... "content" lol) 2) Season Story (just 1 day of quests, but it was bug and not possible to complete for some people) 3) World events (same events as the last 3 years with the EXACT SAME BUGS and new ones) 4) New Expedition (Bug as hell, literally unplayable at launch after countless PTR reports)

[@cranknnutz]

@@ThaCousin Yeah I know S4 was when things turned very bad. That's when I quit. I'm pretty sure it was due to shifting focus to the console support even though they hadn't announced it.

[@staticfanaticxx9384]

Not only that major companies gonna just ruin the season for smaller companies and splitting the player base even more when servers already have a lityle population

KEEP the game alive! it's to good to die again. Keep us updated and keep the content incoming!

[@MrVikingmead]

Very concerned with having all crafting buffs (gear, food, trophies) and can still only craft 700 gear score items and competing the raid is the only way to get 725 gear score via a craft, but not requiring the effort it takes to become max crafting.

[@ohayjude]

You guys need to make actually impactful untradable/character based rewards from leveling up crafting/gathering skills. Cooking having really good untradeable food is a step in the right direction. Give arcana lvl 200 potions that give huge benefits but can only be crafted for yourself, smithing honing stones that give huge bonus damage but are untradeable. Borrow from RuneScape’s endgame progression.really hard quests that give you like a 5th potion slot or a 2nd ring slot. And ABILITY UPGRADES. Make bosses or content drop rate “codex” that upgrades the functionality of skill tree abilities. “Awakened Finish” -bleed damage removed now does extra 25% total damage as arcane. Chase items that change your entire character

[@Unrages]

a dev update that is actually good! BIG W for NW

[@haakonstormbrow]

I liked everything but the seasonal Servers.. This seems like a big miss.. 1. it will split the already small server pop. 2. MMOS are all about long term character growth and materials and gear and character progression.. I would never do a 3 month character.

[@fullmetalathlete]

Same. Especially if it's an all on pvp mode. I'm sure there are people who are interested in it but I won't be joining that one.

[@Phin016]

This. SO much this. They are obviously super pumped about it, and it doesn't sound, at all, like they realize either a) how badly this can flop and b) how devastating this can potentially be if it doesn't. I played DDO for a long time. That game has a much bigger player base than NW and much better optimized server pops. A few years back, they started running seasonal permadeath servers that lasted like 3 months each. If you lived long enough and completed enough high difficulty content, you could achieve different tiers of rewards that were entirely cosmetic, but also cool and desirable for your main characters on your normal server. It was really challenging and stressful at times, but also extremely fun and rewarding. You can say that it was popular and successful, so they started doing them like twice a year. Here are the two giant problems that created: 1) For half the year you weren't even playing your actual characters, or progressing them in any meaningful way 2) More importantly, they split the player base. Normal servers were a total ghost town for half the year. If you wanted to play your normal characters, half or more of your guild were gone. They might as well be playing another game. It was difficult to find groups, etc. Having experienced this in a game with superior player numbers, I am confident that it will be an absolute disaster for NW, which already struggles with numbers, as is. I hope someone from AGS reads my lengthy comment here, and takes the following lessons to heart if they are hell-bent on having "seasonal servers" that are successful and don't kill the game: 1) If I'm going to be interested in playing a temporary character instead of spending that time on my permanent character, there needs to be compelling rewards for my permanent character involved, but they need to be cosmetic or something that does not give me any tangible advantages over other players. Something like a really cool, unique mount skin, or housing item. Maybe +1 gear loadout slot. 2) Please understand, and carefully consider, what this is going to do to normal server pops and limit their duration accordingly. Honestly, based on my experience, I would recommend no more than 2 months of this per year. If you run these "seasonal servers" for the duration of an entire season, then first of all, what is the point of normal seasons? I can't progress them if I'm spending the whole season playing a temporary character. More importantly, though, if you run these temp servers for the duration of an entire season, I can absolutely guarantee you that one of two things will happen: 1) nobody will play them (hopefully) or 2) you will turn normal servers into ghost towns and literally kill your own game. The folks who would rather spend their time playing their permanent character, that they have invested thousands of hours in, and who don't care about a new mount skin or whatever rewards are offered for participating in a temporary game experience, won't have anyone to play with, won't engage with their friends who are participating for months at a time, companies will disintegrate, wars and raids will be impossible to fill, etc. It's a poor experience, and they will quit. PLEASE consider the ramifications of what you're doing. I'm not just complaining, speculating, or being pessimistic, because, again, I have actually seen the effects of what you're trying with a game that has (had) way more players, and I KNOW what the results will be. The idea you laid out for a "seasonal server" as soon as Season 7 sounds like a very cool concept (permadeath is a cool concept to consider, too, for future iterations), but you HAVE to limit the duration of these or you will destroy the game.

[@waltershort1051]

Please listen to this comment. New World is a great game for those of us who want to scratch that achievement itch. I would never play a character that will be deleted. The whole game is built around progressing your toon for the long haul.

[@Curlsl]

Idk it works on other mmo, and it's so they can try some things to maybe put them ingame. Pvpers want real agressive pvp. I think that the best solution. I don't think they'll stay all day long there but have a good time for some hours a day and go back to their main as it disappear each season anyway. At least if they break something it will be on their server only.

[@FairuzaGoes]

Idk if this is copyrighted, but tradepack runs is a great way to get people to go through unknown zones. Basically, have a system setup that pays out faction tokens, currency, rare resources, etc. when a player delivers a tradepack from one capital to another. Tradepack payouts would based on player population in a zone, delivering a pack from Brimstone to reekwater would pay a ton because reekwater is a dead zone. You have to do it flagged for pvp.

Great features on the road! As a side request, I would like to have an option (if not as default) for the Life Staff so that when I press the key for let's say Sacred Ground, to cast the spell on that specific target location, not where I have already moved the camera after the key press. The same problem is with Divine Embrace but not for Beacon which is casting on that exactly spot where you had the camera when called it. Doesn't matter if Divine and Embrace are casting a bit slower, important is that they will be casted where you have requested to be.

[@xxCross2]

A few things: 1. Although the hive raid is great, locking 725 behind it to once a week has been painful and feels especially grindy. Replaying the hive can still be fun for fun-sake, but having no drops or rewards to replay it for the duration of the rest of the week feels bad. It's refreshing to see mutations will receive an "upgrade", but this upgrade should include a chance to gain 700+ gear. 2. A new OPR MAP is very much needed, but I hope the new map features other environmental assets from other parts of NWA, say a village or town for better close-quarter combat, or a dense elysian-wild style forest, or megalithic structures on sand dunes. Each new environmental feature should highlight an advantage or disadvantage for certain weapons or playstyles/roles. 3. Other game modes like battle royal or capture the flag would be great, but I feel like instead of making those instanced, maybe people can sign queue up and be teleported to a random zone in the open world and start the game mode there. The open world is under appreciated and I feel having a game mode to have a reason to run around the world again will be great. PVP races are great, but for real you're only around the fort and the other capture points, not so much other the other POIs. 4. Invasion update actually sounds exciting. With close to 7000 hours of playtime, the last time I did an invasion was maybe around maybe when my playtime was at 4500, and before that was maybe 2200. Definitely not my favorite activity but if there's a refresh to the mode to introduce new mob type, mutated invasion, updated loot drops to include chance for 700+ gear, and just something to not only give me a reason to play but excited to play it. Overall, great dev update and I'm excited to see where NWA goes next!

As someone who quit playing NW just after hitting max gs after the expac. You've won me back as a player after seeing this, thank you for listening to the players!

[@Noremac-0329]

Really need an appearance optimization option for late game. Add it to the store, feel like that’s such an easy thing to grab our money

[@weeabooslayer2563]

Think about creating the option to apply to multiple queues, like mutation and normal dg and arenas at the same time if the player wants, the first one to complete would call the squad, i think some games have this feature already

[@silkroad780]

World bosses for 725ilvl gear, dungeons for ilvl gear 725 ( then people will be excited to play dungeons in this game )

[@coreybroussard5264]

Or at least allow us to level up the gear we got in dungeon to 725. Not being able to get frigid dawn past 700 feels bad with how much of a grind it is.

[@luisdomingo7277]

That'll kill the raids then. No point running actually challenging content if they do that. I say at least 705 from dungeons.

[@silkroad780]

@coreybroussard5264 agree, a option as well, I say that because I feel nobody play dungeons ( me either because the gear )

[@silkroad780]

@luisdomingo7277 yep, can be a option as well , the point is to make the dungeons more worth to play.

[@BrenturoX]

They say something about this around 8:43

[@NewbWorld]

It all sounds great! Looking forward to seeing all the new content come out. (:

[@oreosneaky7473]

Guess fresh start servers didn't divide the playerbase enough, lets add seasonal worlds instead of addressing current game issues.

[@nicholaspietrantonio4651]

Excellent video, and great timing! Hearing things like "All in on endgame, pvp game modes, open world enhancements and updated progression" is music to my ears. I'm very happy to hear the devs say in this video things that I have expressed in my feedback in surveys and in discord. This makes me excited for the future of NW:A!

[@user-uq1yk1kp1u]

The first thing being talked about in depth is Pvp, on most of the slides. The Pvp in this game is based on how well you know to exploit bugs and use macro scripts. Moreover, it devides the community even more. Next, they say they are all in on end game but then want us to continually restart on new characters every season just because they think early, mid game is perfect and dont want us to see the far from perfect endgame as mentioned. Give us PVE and things to come together as a community, not divide us...

[@Jet_Diesel]

I've been playing forever. Would love to see an expanded FISHING menu and mechanics. Please give us "personal bests" and the ability to see height/weight after the catch to compete against friends and compete against myself. We really enjoy fishing in this game and would really love to just see more of it. Thanks for continuing to improve on this great game!

[@ParagonPanda]

Thanks for updating us. Is there any chance we get name changing mode soon?

[@goodpig6458]

Suggestion: for opr maps, can we think about biomes and random weather effects on maps. biomes have different feels, islandy , spooky , heavenly, the presence of the biome or sub biomes impact. The impact aesthetically and the feeling of fighting with a waterfall background, giant mushrooms, floating mini mountains or other fantasy like areas instead of plain trees and rocks would be wonderful. Also i dont know if it would be plausible to have the base map(old or new map) and have it generated in a night instance/day instance, rain/lightning/thunder, fog, sandstorm, snow , corrupted, nature overgrown, etc. Food for thought

[@MoiDj22]

Hello Devs! Good to see an update.

[@JChalant]

15:45 I would say that's been the number one ask of all the high level players as well, for several reasons. Many of which related to helping newer or less experienced players, so they have more opportunities to learn and grow/practice. Keep up the great work team! ♥♪

[@BoR1791-pl6qv]

One thing I would love to see is more options for healers. I love the flail but it would be awesome to have more flexibility and variety with healing builds.

[@spencermorrow2109]

Amber gems and runeglass my boy

[@tubeyou007-ke1qf]

Definitely the best MMO I ever played, that did something different from the other MMO's The launch was terrible we all know, but now the game is close to perfection.

[@hroxyz1]

If AGS succeeds in delivering everything on this roadmap over the next year while fixing the existing bugs and not adding new ones then NW is 200% back on the menu man. Lot of cope, let's see what the devs will give us now, and how fast it will be.

[@traemaxwell]

I started playing right after it first launched and had a rough time. I spent ALOT of time loading into the game. Now, it loads fast and I can start playing. Ease of access is great and you guys delivered. So far I have been enjoying the changes to leveling and gearing so that we can level fast and not have to worry about gearing as much. Keep up the good work, guys! Happy Holidays!!

[@PeasantUnpleasant]

finally NEW 3v3 ARENA maps 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrThunderChief11]

Jumped into the game for the first time on PS5 with the Aeternum launch. Having more fun with this game than I have with an MMO since the early days of Destiny. Y'all are doing great work, and I'm excited to stick around for the longhaul!

[@XeKc]

You can't claim to be a good studio having zero tech support. Do you think it's OK for players to lose accounts by your mistake?

[@Sammwhich]

Well presented and great plans. I think the seasonal server will be the best way to 'low-risk' test the ideas that some of the devs are more passionate about (and the first one sounds like a fun kinda hell). The ball has been dropped on some of the crafting/gathering in the latest. I think the higher end dungeons could be primarily used to get rare mats, but then you need to craft (with an element of luck). Perhaps an idea for a later season. Thanks for the hard work.

[@eaglegaming88]

W Roadmap

[@ericfitchett5575]

Huge round of applause to you and your whole team. Been wanting a WOW-like game on console forever, and this really delivers the experience. Bravo!

[@oleandersen1999]

Feel like they are really listening to the community here. If they can deliver on this it will be great. Sound like a lot of good changes, including some of my biggest issues with the game. To not set timelines are a good idea, if you are not sure you will reach them. I feel that its more important to know whats coming, than when its coming. Lets us know what to look forward to. As long as they update the roadmap this is fine in my opinion.

[@deejay554]

Love from Poland. This is one of the best PC mmo's I ever played, and for sure the best console MMO. Keep on the good work!

[@joelthomas5680]

What Happened to Having a World Boss idea? That Spawns at different times in the day.

[@RonPalacio]

U have the turk

[@pipo9713]

Excited to see the new zone and the continuation of the story quest.

[@To4sta]

Why would you make a seasonal server to split an already dwindling game population where on some servers there is already an issue with getting enough people for activities?

[@coyoteperson]

Yeah I'm disappointed i like keeping my character

[@xxCross2]

Seasonal servers are meant to attract new players or returning players that don't want to come back to their existing character. I don't think a seasonal server will impact too much from the existing classic or fresh-start servers.

[@conancimmerian5066]

You answered your own question. The new server allows all pvp players to que in one place so the team can finally see if people really want pvp alpha version. Every pvp player acts like they would play total loot pvp but none of them actually play. Now they will have a server and statics to say hey let's not care what pvp players complain about our hey we have a base here let's dedicate a team to growing then

[@conancimmerian5066]

@xxCross2 what player base would left if the goal is attracting new players and returning players?

[@chewbacca9158]

I have an idea, there is a massive amount of loot that is just ground down. How about an NPC in the main hall of cities that will take your unwanted loot, in exchange for a currency & rep that in turn can be used to attain things (similar to faction or maybe the same npc but different categories), and what they give in exchange for the loot is dependent on the gear score / item type. Perhaps the same vendor that takes your loot has random daily/weekly items for sale that you'd want to buy with the currency/rep that you've gained, maybe a way to buy artifacts that are not farmed anymore, chrom seals, materials, named gear, food, fish bait, decorations etc etc. This gives ppl incentive to play for loot in dungeons or ECR. Make it NOT GOLD related, as in you need the JUST the curreny and NOT gold to buy, (which is terrible design and just promotes the exploitation of gold buying to win that kills the incentive to play). This could also play into closing corruption portals, give the big ones (lvl 65 up) a drop item that the NPC wants badly and after like 20 or more will give you a seal for it or a matrix or whatever but limited to daily or weekly withdraw. I think this would drive MASSIVE player interaction in the world / dungeons if done correctly and rewarded properly. Please think about this one.

[@AlexandreBackes]

Pirate Ships Battle PVP Mode when?? Make guilds command ships and shoot cannons in other guilds ships! I want OPR Ships mode

[@GamesIDN-mx8bv]

what ??? go playing sea of thieves bro 😂

[@AlexandreBackes]

@@GamesIDN-mx8bv That's a good example, I feel NW could have a mode like that

[@BenjaminDevine]

It still feels like a very small team of Devs are keeping this game a float. All the PvP content on the map they've already said was in development 18 months ago.

[@ryanebert5962]

#makecraftingprofitableagain

[@ukaszanioowski9722]

9:50 - fights going a little too long???? have they touched retail pvp or only done internal qa sessions????? unless you have extreme sustain/healing and great defense, you get zero'd in 1s in most burst players fights i'm zero'd before i cast my first heal

[@TorikuToriku]

Capital W.

[@rascal9314]

This checks all the boxes, finally a dev video that leaves me hopeful and excited So much content discussed idk what I'm looking forward to most Thanks for a respectful and informative update

[@Z-MACx]

TLDR: Come back next year. Here are some ideas that we may or may not implement into the game. PS: I’m NOT hating on the game. I love New World and all these improvements/updates sounds great. But we’ve been promised things before and I’m going to wait until the content actually releases before getting excited about it.

[@neilrodriguez6705]

it's good to hear feedback and what might be good what not

[@kyfam4]

I'm a Ps5 player who plaed the Beta and got NWA on launch So far I love it. Historically I'm almost strictly a PvE guy. The game is awesome. The one complaint I have is getting other players in the lobbies for the dungeon runs is difficult and takes forever. Please don't forget us PvE folks looking to run expeditions, etc.

[@leonkennedy9739]

Best update release so far. Also the raid is a 10/10 experience.

[@drittz5470]

Such a great game and Dev Update. Thank you all so much 🤙
