New World Community Q&A May 2023, Free Transmog Tokens! New Faction Gear! So Much More!

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

This was an unusual one! A community Q&A that wasn't simply discussing shit we already know! There was some actual interesting stuff in there!

[@dabnbong]

Just let us change our trophies from the menu and it would be a lot better

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

this would be the ideal way

[@JoWendee]

No way, just get rid of the trophy limit like they said. No need for changing and adding a bugged Trophy UI for a few weeks 😂

[@MrAcuta73]

For Dungeon trophies, I think the best thing would be to create an upgradable "trophy" that perhaps takes the form of a statue in your house. For each new bane/ward you unlock, you craft it into the statue and in doing so, the statue changes appearance until you get some sort of "ultimate" form when you have acquired all banes/wards. Just take it completely out of the house trophy system and you only need one in one house...or could still be run needing 3 for 3 houses. Doesn't really matter that much, just a matter of grind in the end. Solves a lot of problems, from itemization of gear to just having space for it all in your houses.

[@Scrags-Gudale]

I’d like to see 5 more trophy slots added to each house to hold Ward trophy’s. Then they could remove it from the gear.

[@christopherdaffron8115]

Yeah, we already effectively have Bain trophies so why not add Ward trophies. Good idea! However, everyone would NEED to have houses then if you couldn't place them anywhere else.

[@geassmuffin]

The way i think transmog tokens will work is like destiny 2 you get the collect log from getting the armor. But to transmog it you need a token. so really you can complete the log but only need tokens for what you want.

[@LordGank1]

So are we going to be able to dye skins? Because if not and transmogging turns your item into a skin that means you can only dye it before and not after transmogging

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

They have said we will, however, maybe not right away, this is unknown

[@Kainoa_25]

Bro I swear the easiest solution to trophies is allow us to place all of them(limit 1 of each obviously) in each house and then to toggle the ones you want actively giving buffs, go into the bio menu that shows our trophy buffs and add a dropdown menu that lets the player select 5 of the trophies currently in the players house. Problem solved.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Ya the toggle would be best, but seems for them thats the most complicated on their end ?

[@Kainoa_25]

@@5HeadSurvivalGaming yeah probably coding it, is a lot more complicated than it seems. Though it does make me wonder if this idea has even been run across their desk or if they're trying to solve 2+2 using calculus.

[@tayalt2406]

I love how people on reddit and other youtube videos love to bring gw2 when talking about transmog tokens, but I play gw2 and change my character appearance all th time, and I've never had to buy transmog token there, because I get tons for free just playing the game. Right now I have more than 100 saved and, as I said, I keep changing my character appearance because we have MANY options there.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

I don't think I mentioned GW2 ?

[@tayalt2406]

@@5HeadSurvivalGaming not you, other youtubers and ppl on reddit. sorry I didnt mention it properly.

[@mickdiebold517]

I really like the trophy's; collecting and crafting them. I did a bunch of furniture appitutde chests to try and get the more expensive items to craft major trophy's. I think you should be able to display all of your trophy's in your houses and then just make 5 of them give the active at any given time

[@ViliGiX]

I hope all named items that have Ward and Resilient will be changed, they could remove Indestructible from the game

[@RavenRplays]

Let us hang all trophies and choose which are active from the bio.

[@scottledbetter5705]

Before the faction 'welcome' changes, the gear shop was kind of great as you fit the gear as you progressed up. Now that you're waiting to get to EF to join a faction, you're getting close to the level 30 side. This assumes you did all the beginning quests in the starting areas. The shop gear is so under scored that it's completely useless now. The only things you shop for anymore are the bag/chest tokens. Will admit I've shopped potions as I'm always behind on potion making. So, a revamp would have the gear starting at 350+ and working up. Would also like to see them allow you to shop the stats - INT/FOC is a waste of FOC on a rapier/IG build. Keep up the great work and you are allowed to sleep. 8-)

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

especially at 60, with all of the event gear, named items coming in at 590 and so one, who even bothers with 520 stuff

[@tobias1075]

I don't get the ward issue. You need one ward set and you can do more ethan 50% of end game, dyn, temp, depths, invasion, portals etc.

[@Scrags-Gudale]

Five (six if you include Beast) sets of ward gear needed to do all the dungeons. Now multiply that by two or three if you play different roles. Now, if you are a crafter, add another five or six sets. Plus an acid resist set if you farm the pools in Brimstone. Maybe a luck set too. Quite a lot of gear to manage endgame.

[@tobias1075]

@@Scrags-Gudale what did you expect from an mmo? But if you get corrupted ward, which is very easy with the 600 patterns, you can farm m10s. The bigger issue is how picky ppl are about ppls builds. Sorry you have 7 con not 5, trash.... Yh it is grindy and difficult, isn't that what the end game should be? But tbh is the gear and issue or is getting bis gear the issue? You can do mutations with purples, these are common/very easy to craft yourself now with scarabs. And if you want any crafting gear, they are cheap on tp and can be farmed quite easily when you look at the mobs you need to farm. Even the ward gear you can now craft very good sets with materia, for all dungeons.

[@Scrags-Gudale]

@@tobias1075 the issue isn’t getting the gear, I’ve been playing since day 2 and mostly have what I need. I was answering your comment about “not getting the ward issue.” The issue is it’s a lot of gear sets to manage in inventory. The load outs have helped, but having 9 load out slots, when many people need much more is a pain point.

[@tobias1075]

@Scott Rehfeldt that's fair. But would having unlimited gear slots solve the issue for you? The complaints I've heard is that having so many types of ward is an issue, some calling for one ward only. But this is probably linked to the gear sorting issue also.

[@Scrags-Gudale]

@@tobias1075 maybe instead of having a specific ward on gear, you could have a generic ward, which would then key off of whatever ward trophy’s you have on your house? That would allow the devs to keep the gear as it is, just replace ancient ward with generic ward. So instead of 5 different healing sets, 5 different DPS sets, and 5 different Tank sets, I could probably get away with 1 healing set, 1 DPS set, and 1 tanking set. Sounds like the devs are reworking the trophy interface already to make swapping easier, so that’s a plus.

[@liamwarren7590]

If they can get OPR working well cross world, i really really hope they role it out to dungeons aswell cause they're such a pain atm.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

ya thats the hope I have also

[@kaisquared90]

They should work on making music timing more consistent. Most of the time it's fine but there are times where the timing is completely different from both the notes on the screen and the beat that you can hear (and sometimes the notes are out of sync with the music as well) even though my ping is under 50. I understand lag and desync are unavoidable when it comes to pvp but music really shouldn't suffer from the same issues, especially when playing solo. It just shows the quality of the netcode when something like music can suffer from lag and desync with a stable connection.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

ya i agree

[@jumblestiltskin1365]

Agreed also, this is the sort of thing that I suppose is really down their list. It annoys me because I can feel how off the beat some of the key hits are.

[@Ink.Mapurol]

Thank GOD !!!! Trophy changes Y.Y I'm crying!!

[@fleischtomate2435]

For the faction shop update they said: in season 3...so another 4months wait minimum 😢

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

Ya, but season 2 looks good so far, we will see, everything really is so far off

[@that773guy4]

I have to agree with 5 head on what he said at the very end. I also feel NW is on the edge of becoming great. But they have to add beer. Potions and food are not enough, need a stout...like Guinness. +1000 Health for 30 mins.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

100%

[@willw8011]

I would not count on much form the devs/ AGS. The way they designed the music system is just so disrespectful and malicious to players. Many of the current sheets of music are nearly unatonable, so that is an endless grind in of itself. Players will spend way too many hours attempting to find these hidden and extremely rare music sheets: Canarios, Soulwarden's Journey, Heartgem's Burden, and a few others. A rare sheet of music only drops in one small area, which players might have one or two quests in, then forget about. Many of the sheets are so rare that players question the existence of those. What benefit does AGS get from this system? AGS spent the money to develope these music tracks, just to hide those in obscure areas and make those near impossible to obtain. How many weeks or months should a completionist player spend to get these.

[@Discospawn]

With the Season 2 PTR still unreleased, and transmog already delayed to the midpoint of Season 2, I get the sense AGS might be caught behind schedule again for the year's content. It seems like a mistake to tie all the much-needed QoL improvements to the Seasonal release cycle, because those QoL features are always going to be out-prioritized by the monetized features they're trying to add every 3 months.

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

I feel the same, hard to believe with 4 rounds of ptr to come + delay we will see it on schedule

[@poisonhawke1]

Don't forget, you are an elite player and I love your videos! But....PVP content should always be an option not a rule. We on the West Coast are down to one legacy server and one new start which is on Low status now 24/7. The weekend players are what keep any game going, not the elite players that have endless time to do the really cool things I guess they are cool. They are not worth the effort for this weekend warrior. I'm a quest and leveling type player and new area content finder. Too many people don't have the fast net connection for good PVP play and that keeps a lot of players out and why they don't carry a game as some would like them too. Just my thoughts and again, your videos are always informative and I hope your subs go up higher soon! P.S. I'm hoping for a common storage for alts some day! LOL At least we can have all 3 chars on one server now.

[@kaisquared90]

Heck yeah a new tier of faction armor that will also be obsolete like the rest of my bis gear 😂😂😂. Ive stopped playing after thousands of hours but i still have hopium

we run on it lol

[@ImAlwaysFrisky]

Just let me hang one of each trophy in every house. Make it a TON easier on us

[@willw8011]

Another point I would like to write about: The factions are only useful for the holding rune to make bags and chests and the materials converter. The gypsum orb is also useful to low GS 60 level players. Everything else is just overpriced filler/ bloat. It would be nice if some of the PvP modes were not locked to the PvP track rewards. These could be sold in the faction shop... because getting 1 or 2 or 3 of the PvP craft mod has no real purpose to crafters and most players. It only shows that the devs know nothing about the game they cobbled together, like some trash they fused together. I have 3 of a mod, which means I have almost zero chance at actually making a 600 GS item with it. The mod is bind on pick-up, so I cannot sell those or buy more. It is just something I could make a 2 perk failed attempt at a 600 GS item. I would also not put mush hope in the new transmog system. AGS cannot even get the thubnail on their Spring Bloom patterns to work correctly. Also AGS took great time and effort to make dozens of the most useless ugly dyes, just to add bloat to the game. With all of the dye colors in game... a player cannot get a basic black nor a real red nor a good green color dye. Everything is some sort of abomination dye color, so players just buy the skins... that have good color schemes.

[@pat_mc_fly]

this Transmog is great... love it in other MMO's but there you have it totally for free. This Season Pass thing in reference to Transmog is complete Trash since the SP is kinda hard to get to LVL 100 due to stupid things you have to do. Siply should progress via XP you eran while playing like in almost every other "GAME" New Wolr already is a farming simulator, no need to farm way more to get to especific point. As long as it is linked to all those lilttle quests i wont buy the SP, cause im not paying for something i will achieve 100%

[@5HeadSurvivalGaming]

It isnt so bad, I completed the SP and all of the chapters in the first week :/

[@pat_mc_fly]

@@5HeadSurvivalGaming did you finish the SP simply by playing, farming, killing whatever? Just wonder about the week, im playing since day one having only Lvl 38 (did not activate the chapters so far). I#m not spending Gold for things from the market not do i switch the challenges if this isn't for 0 Azoth.
