New World Aeternum: PvP Area Overview

[@Savvvo]

What are your thoughts on this new area?!

[@RegionYT]

@@Savvvo it looks super spooky I’m looking forward to it

[@pandemoniumgaming6344]

I managed to run into it last night and yep was murdered many times but managed to get 29 dubloons out. I hope this way of doing pvp is better than before.

[@Savvvo]

Yea seems pretty cool overall!

[@JChalant]

Looking forward to what more may come! ♪

[@Savvvo]

Amen to that!

[@arthurlayao3465]

I wish there was a wilderness like RuneScape near the middle of the map. And I wish there was more risk involved in PvP like more loss involved so it adds to the hype of it

[@Savvvo]

Yes, minimal risk but there’s some. Maybe this is the first step towards a legitimate PvP “wilderness”. I think it would be such a cool addition to the game!

[@meoman9798]

That Savvvo is still at it...Fris Centuria FOREVER!!!

[@Savvvo]

Meo! Hope you’re doing well!

[@windy653]

Happy to see you getting views again Savvvo... it's impressive how you continue to power through AGS's neglect. We'll see what happens with this game. I fear the end game bugs from perks/abilities/desync/wars will still exist especially since the open beta was for only low levels and not max level people to really try and stress test AGS's bug fixing abilities. AGS needs another open beta for a PTR of all max level people to experience OPR/war/etc and test to see if their code is written as intended especially when it comes to the perks and having them work as intended.

[@Savvvo]

Appreciate the comment! And agreed - hoping for some sort of PTR to test out the new additions to the end game (raid, PvP zone, 725 GS)

[@lVladness]

I hope they add more of these areas because of this alone am considering this over throne and liberty as a console player

[@Savvvo]

It’s a pretty cool idea for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@yeabsiraabebe8755]

I was thinking the same thing honestly!

[@FXKNJOEY]

Same

[@Oryyyt]

Same. tbh whatever has more satisfying combat for me. I already tried tnl over 60hrs and i just couldn't stand the combat. I hope nw is better. It seems simpler but more tactical

[@itsch8674]

I am with you here. I'll have a look at T&L and see how I like it. But this PvP area together with the fact i can equip my char by (nearly) only doing pvp might actually make me return to Aeternum (yeah, I know about artifacts and heartrunes :D). And I wonder how this new pvp shard thing will play out.

[@Z-MACx]

Thanks for doing some scouting for us! Didn’t get the chance to check it out for myself, but it looks like a good start to the PvP zone concept. Hopefully they’ll continue to expand and improve on this idea going forward. I wonder if there will be large groups of companies gatekeeping this zone periodically? Sure it’s free for all but that doesn’t really mean much if the factions get coordinated with it.

[@Savvvo]

It’ll be interesting too to see how the sharding system potentially impacts this zone!

[@randomdude-yep]

Nice

[@Savvvo]

It’ll be a good time I’m sure!

[@Falcontf]

I wonder how hard it will be to grab those longer timed chests; one arrow or bullet and you have to redo the whole cycle…

[@Savvvo]

So I didn’t include this in the video, but the timer for gathering the chest does NOT reset when you move away from it early. So that’s at least a plus.

[@SinnfullDuck]

I quit new world shortly after launch because no one went to open world pvp areas and the few that did, would just run if they saw anyone. Actual pvp fights were almost impossible to get.

[@Savvvo]

Maybe worth checking it out again in October? Servers will be flooded and the PvP opportunities will be plentiful.

[@Ambro_Play_Games]

Maybe because 99% of players doesnt give a shit about pvp in every fuckng game? Just maybe

[@Liquid-yj1ok]

@@Ambro_Play_Games This isn't really true and depends on the culture of your game and server. Open world pvp was consistent, if not constant, on the the servers I played on.

[@mightymort915]

I wonder how the dynamic will be in this Zone. I hope this wont be another ECR lol.

[@Savvvo]

I think it will be, but with a twist 😅

[@inquisitortaki6476]

The concept is the same from Division games which is Dark Zones...

[@Savvvo]

Reminds me of wilderness in OS Runescape

[@Oryyyt]

I've been wanting something like that but in a fantasy setting. This is the closest to a darksouls mmo with a pvp island. If only the combat was more polished..

[@Label07]

Dark Zone worked so well for the Division too...

[@mightymort915]

Extraction modes aren't a new thing, but it's a welcomed one in NW. Now we'll just have to wait and see if it will actually work.

[@inquisitortaki6476]

@@Savvvo question if your character dies in pvp zone all your loot will drop especially the for upgrading 725 gs?

[@GamingDualities]

ok, but can a dev explain to us why we have been waiting for 3 years for new Outpost Rush map in the rotation? or no open world carriages like Archeage had... New world has so much potential... and it really sux that the game has been dying for 2 years now because dev simply ignore pvp content. just like smite or wow devs

[@Savvvo]

Yeaaaa we really just need a new OPR map. That’s been asked for years it seems!

[@larkwyll7351]

It will be interesting to see how the pvp player base reacts if the dev's essentially forced pvp players to do chest runs ad nauseum for progression.

[@Savvvo]

It’ll be interesting. It did seem like a lot of fun in beta and I’m a fan of the concept. I believe there will be ways to get 725 GS without needing to PvP, like the raid and other items (just might take a bit longer)

[@ignaciolopez5206]

When is it coming?

[@Savvvo]

October 15!

[@BrynnBumfuzzle]

​@@SavvvoI heard yesterday Oct 24. Hoping the 15th is still accurate.

[@t.k.o4776]

So does this force you to pvp if you want the best gear

[@Savvvo]

You could also do the new PvE raid to get 725 GS gear. Additionally, there might be ways to collect mystic tokens throughout cutlass keys without actually entering the PvP zone, but it’ll be much, much slower of a process.

[@t.k.o4776]

@@Savvvo I figured I don’t mind pvp but most of the group I play with can’t stand pvp so I was very curious about that. Thank you for quick responses!!!

[@dyslexicape4249]

What are your opinions on the lock on in pvp for ranged combat

[@Savvvo]

Not a fan, we’ll see if it makes it to the actual game in October! I’m all for keeping it for PvE, but for PvP it’s a little nutty imo.

[@dyslexicape4249]

@@Savvvo that’s exactly how I felt I always loved how skill expressive the combat was especially for an mmo but the autolock makes it feel very shallow

[@Savvvo]

I loved how if you were actually GOOD with a musket or bow, you could make it work and do great in PvP. However, it was fully skill based. This system in the beta requires no skill to be very effective imo

[@dende1886]

my issue with lock on as a double ranged player is it completely ruins the entire purpose of playing those weapons, now it just makes me look like a pver who put stats into the right place and clicked middle mouse button to lock. It almost makes it embarrassing to play what once was a skillful choice.

[@dyslexicape4249]

@@dende1886 exactly dude I had hundreds if not thousands of hours of just bow and musket 5 con pvp builds and now it’s just a left click bot

[@GR33Nday2]

Is there only one way to get in and out? If so, it will be camped by guilds waiting to kill you and get your farmed doubloons. :(

[@Savvvo]

There are multiple ways on “leaving” the area. You can see on my map it’s the entire right side of that designated area basically. I’m sure some people will try to camp regardless though.

[@magz9816]

So if this is a PVP area where are the other players never played this game but believe the good loot is in the PvP area is it easy enough to escape with your loot

[@scudsturm1]

so looks like this area is only safe for a big group of friends or an alliance

[@Savvvo]

We’ll see how it goes once it’s live! You cannot be in a group within the in-game mechanics, but as we all know, I’m sure if you join a call with some buddies you can make it work. Only time will tell for this one!

[@scudsturm1]

they are lvl 65+, dont they always aggro quickly uf u are 10 lvls or more below them?

[@Savvvo]

@@scudsturm1 yes, was just surprised by how far away you can be and still pull their attention!

[@moltavui8307]

Watch there be a chest run day one.

[@Savvvo]

I’m sure there will be. It looked like one of the higher quality chests actually disappeared after I looted it though! Maybe this is how they mix it up…every man for themselves in regards to chests!

[@BrynnBumfuzzle]

I snuck in there also. Was nearly eaten by a very aggressive, fast swimming, gator. I swam to deeper waters only to see the huge shark hanging off the cursed ship so I headed to shore to take my chances. Curious about all the lightning and the ominous towers that are repeatedly struck. It didn't appear like the cursed resources were doing any damage, I was taking any ticks, so I wonder if the cleansing is just cinematic (since AGS spent all that time on quest scenes...too much IMO). I am solely a PVE player so I'm not looking forward to the amount of murder coming my way as I am forced (without PVP gear) to enter that space. There is no other option. Raiding just burns me out. I was shotcaller/tank for the Winter Rune and ran that 4x a week for 14 weeks, just burnt out. The drop rate for those coconuts, I'd heard, was super low, like transmog token low. The gorgon's eye, perhaps even lower. Regardless of my play style, the new area is beautifully cursed, NWA excels in that area. The chest that disappeared after you looted it was interesting as well. Is it a first come, respawn type or again just a cinematic. I think the new date is Oct 24 for release. Guess I will start looking on the trade post for some basic PVP gear to die in.

[@Savvvo]

Huge shark?! That sounds super cool, missed that one!

[@Savvvo]

And have you heard of them adjusting the release date?

[@lilsabin]

Is there Battleground (queue up) in this game ?

[@Savvvo]

There’s OPR (20v20) and Arenas (3v3). If you’re in a company or amazing at PvP, you could also potentially get slotted for a war (50v50).

[@profesoralbert1136]

R.I.P

[@Savvvo]

😳

[@nodeflection5827]

Is gear still crazy BOP? Cause that alone fucked this game. They have no real end game loop for gear which was the main issue. Once you had your gear content was stale as fuck and all you could do was repeat OPR and the expeditions. They need a gear recycling loop. That alone would add depth to this “mmo light”

[@Savvvo]

I believe a lot of the new 725 gearscore items for the most part will require a form of crafting, and those crafted items will be primarily BoP, with a few exceptions!

[@Label07]

Named gear has always been the grind focus they want for the player. You can craft "BiS" but it's super expensive and time gated. With no infusion system, each time they up the gearscore you are forced to either regrind or grind new equipment. It's the only way the devs know how to lengthen the game. Keep in mind these "updates" are not like your typical WoW expansion where there a lot of new systems, mechanics, and new continents. One new zone or a rework of an existing zone is hardly enough to qualify... Back when watermark was a thing, they made the grind from 600 to 625 be required for all gear slots, making the grind exponentially more vast. It's what happens when you release with little to no content, and what little content you have is not well designed.

[@Savvvo]

I loved the watermark system, but not a ton of true people that love the “grind” I guess, and it got quickly changed :(

[@Label07]

How long till NW dies again? I'm guessing 4 months. What your guess? Rebranding will only go so far and fool so many. Those of us that have dealt with these devs for the duration of this game know this update will be lackluster, probably full of bugs, endgame will still be extremely lacking. These are some of the most incompetent developers you will ever experience in gaming. They are woke as well...don't believe me, go check out the Marauder's NPC in Elysian Wilds...

[@Savvvo]

If they launch a roadmap with end game content by February I think they’ll be in an okay spot in my opinion. Really hoping the resources they used to get it to console and revamp the MSQ can now be shifted to end game content.

[@Griffonyx]

For the mobs aggro point that you make in your video. Just saying it's nothing new. When your low level the high lvl mob see you from farther for some reason. You should try it in Shattered Mountain it's the same. Fun fact, when you die your supposed to drop all the curse loot but in the beta it was bugged. You only drop 1 of them and you don't lose it in your inventory. So if they don't fix that we are gonna see some people glitching this for sure.

[@Savvvo]

Yea, it just felt like EXTRA intense aggro compared to other mobs for some reason! Maybe I’m over thinking it. Thanks for watching!

[@sardo.numspa]

Not a fan, it certainly will put off the casual players.

[@RegionYT]

@@sardo.numspa it’s a mmo. Most casuals won’t even play this genre 😂

[@Savvvo]

It’ll be interesting for sure.

[@Oryyyt]

Stop acting like this is the only thing you can do in the game and that casuals don't have their content. If this isn't for you simply don't participate. It's an mmo.

[@sardo.numspa]

@@Oryyyt It isn't about content, it is about locking artifacts behind content. It's strange how you say MMO, yet people praise this game sometimes for not being like every other MMO. What is it to be? Be different, or be like every other MMO?

[@sardo.numspa]

@@RegionYT I see, is that why most people have left the game? The last hope for its survival is an Action RPG for consoles😅😂

I disagree, I think it’s got a few positive things going on with it. Thanks for watching!

It's really sad... the same thing is going to happen on October 15th... in less than 1 month, the fun is over.

[@Savvvo]

I had a lot of time exploring this area and honestly, I am a big fan. I think it’ll keep me busy for a few months…especially based on how many dubloons are actually needed for some of these items!

[@mgw5377]

Typical lazy development. Cool to have a pvp zone but it looks like they just used all the assets from elysian wilds.

[@Savvvo]

It does seem pretty similar. Kinda like outside of dynasty shipyard and thrown in the middle of Elysian wilds is my best description haha. Thanks for watching!

[@RegionYT]

Typical complainer

[@Z-MACx]

Its not the assets from Elysian Wilds. It’s an extended portion in Cutlass Keys… which is exactly what the devs said they were doing.

[@RegionYT]

@@Z-MACx yeah they look like total different zones😂

[@Oryyyt]

It doesn't look too bad so i don't mind if they reuse some stuff if they have to. They need to improve on more substancial stuff 1st like making combat satisfying, and more endgame content.
