So you’re telling me pc players were baiting into waiting until June for an announcement and then now we have to wait till October 15th to get even more of nothing the community wanted? Are you guys trolling? Like is this some fucked april fools or what?

[@Dreedzik]

Yes that correct. We are feeded by -BIG ANNOUNCEMENT- for 6months to get nothing ;/

[@cube730]

Even October release is fuck all for pc players. They deserve that the console release is a complete fail and nobody buys the game. What a joke this video is

[@fatavocado7291]

Not exactly. Firstof all, last year you were sold an Angry Earth expansion with a "year of future content" that either was delayed, or never happened xD And that roadmap is still getting pushed

[@propersod2390]

I know you're unhappy, and you should be, but acting like the things coming in that patch aren't things people were asking for is insane😂 A true raid, pvp zone, swimming and optimization were probably in the top 10 most requested things for this game

[@FOR70YEARS]

@@propersod2390 Swimming and a true raid and pvp zone were not the most requested stuff. You are just yapping right now. Its been on 3 years with no OPR map, no other type of game mode for pvp. The games main playerbase is not focused or caring about swimming and raids. Its why the game has like 2-4k pop in NA for a reason.

*📢 A Comprehensive Insider's Review of New World’s Upcoming Changes* Hello, New World Community! I am writing to you from the safety of anonymity, using a dummy account to protect my identity. I have been involved with New World for nearly a year now, not just as a player but as a member of Amazon Game Studios’ (AGS) “Experts Group.” My purpose in this post is to share crucial insights and deep concerns about the state of the game and the upcoming changes, which I feel have been mishandled and misunderstood. *🎮 My Background with New World* Before diving into the nitty-gritty, let me provide some context about my involvement: - *Dedicated Player*: I have clocked nearly 8,000 hours in New World, despite taking a significant break of four months. My commitment to the game is not just about playing but understanding its intricacies deeply. - *Part of the Experts Group*: I was recruited last year to offer specialized advice to the development team. Initially, this group comprised various media personalities from Twitch and KZbin, many of whom have since departed. Unlike them, I am not a public figure; my focus is purely on the game’s mechanics and potential. *🏗 The State of Development* From my first day in the Experts Group, I saw New World’s enormous potential. Unfortunately, despite our dedicated feedback, AGS has struggled to incorporate valuable advice into the game’s development process. This has led to a series of broken promises and a game that often feels more like an ongoing beta test than a finished product. *Major Development Issues* 1. *Too Many Decision-Makers, No Clear Leadership*: - The development team suffers from a lack of cohesive direction. With too many "cooks" but no "chef" to guide them, the development process is chaotic and disjointed. - Multiple builds are being developed simultaneously, leading to poor version control and recurring bugs. 2. *Poor Integration of Feedback*: - Despite the concerted efforts of the Experts Group to provide detailed and constructive feedback, our advice is often dismissed or ignored. The typical response is that it’s "too late" to implement our suggestions. - This disconnect between the advisory team and the core developers has led to frustration and a sense of futility among those of us who are deeply invested in the game’s success. 3. *Broken Promises and Unrealized Potential*: - AGS has a history of making grand promises about upcoming features and improvements. However, the execution often falls short, resulting in features that are either drastically different from what was promised or completely underwhelming. - For example, features like the much-anticipated gear sets have been in contention for months, yet they remain in a nebulous state with no clear implementation in sight. *📣 Recent Announcements: What Wasn’t Said* The recent announcement video aimed at console players left many PC players feeling neglected. Key details were omitted, creating more questions than answers. Here’s a deeper look into what’s actually coming and what it means for the community. *🔍 In-Depth Analysis: Upcoming PvP Island Update* One of the most significant updates on the horizon is the introduction of a new PvP island. Here’s what you need to know: *Core Features of the PvP Island* 1. *Automatic PvP Flagging*: - Upon entering the island, players are automatically flagged for PvP. There’s no option to opt-out, making the entire area a high-risk zone. - This feature is designed to create a constant state of alertness and challenge, but it also alienates players who prefer cooperative or solo play without the threat of PvP encounters. 2. *Tent Placement Restrictions*: - Players are unable to place tents within the island’s boundaries. This restriction forces players to find alternative ways to manage their respawn points. - While some players have devised creative workarounds, the developers seem indifferent to these exploits. 3. *Solo Play Mandate*: - Grouping is disabled on the island. This means players must fend for themselves, which drastically changes the dynamic of team-based strategies and undermines the role of support classes, particularly healers. - Despite repeated feedback highlighting these issues, the development team remains convinced that this restriction will enhance the PvP experience. 4. *Difficult Exits*: - Leaving the island is intentionally challenging. The exit area is a hotspot for ambushes, especially from players equipped with muskets who can easily pick off those attempting to leave. - The risk of exiting adds a layer of tension but also promotes toxic behavior where groups can dominate the exit routes, creating a frustrating experience for others. 5. *Resource Collection and New Currency*: - While the island does not introduce new raw materials, existing nodes yield significantly higher amounts of resources. However, gathering these resources takes much longer, increasing the risk of being attacked during collection. - A new type of coin drops in the zone, used to purchase valuable items. There’s also a new token that drops exclusively from a large chest, which takes an agonizingly long time to open, making players vulnerable to attacks. 6. *Cursed Materials*: - Resources gathered on the island are “cursed” and unusable until they are taken off the island. This adds another layer of risk, as dying within the zone results in losing half of these materials. - The cursed materials concept is intriguing but also adds to the stress and potential frustration, especially given the difficulty in safely exiting the zone. 7. *Artifact and Quality of Life Changes*: - A few new artifacts are being introduced, though they are not particularly groundbreaking. - Some quality of life improvements are on the way, but these are mostly minor design tweaks rather than significant enhancements. 8. *Persistent and Game-Breaking Bugs*: - Despite repeated reporting of critical bugs by the Experts Group, many remain unaddressed. The development team often underestimates the impact of these issues, partly due to their limited engagement with the game. - For instance, the gear score scaling bug continues to persist, affecting gameplay balance and fairness. 9. *Crafting Overhaul*: - Crafting systems are set to change once again. My advice to players is to pause any major crafting activities and save their resources until the new system stabilizes. *🛠 Developer Disconnect: The Core of the Problem* One of the most significant issues plaguing New World’s development is the disconnect between the developers and the actual gameplay experience. Many developers spend minimal time in the game, leading to a lack of understanding of the practical implications of their design choices. *Key Disconnects:* - *Minimal Developer Engagement*: Most developers play the game for only an hour or two, which is insufficient to grasp the nuances and challenges faced by regular players. - *Ignored Expert Advice*: The consistent dismissal of feedback from the Experts Group has led to a growing sense of disillusionment among those who were brought on to help guide the game’s development. - *Failure to Address Core Issues*: Persistent bugs and fundamental design flaws remain unaddressed, undermining the game’s stability and player experience. *🌅 Hope on the Horizon?* Despite the myriad issues, there are still reasons to be cautiously optimistic. The game’s core mechanics have significant potential, and there are positive changes in the pipeline. However, given the track record of mismanagement and poor implementation, it’s difficult to be overly hopeful. *Positive Changes:* - *Potential for Improvement*: The game’s foundation is solid, and with the right direction and implementation, there’s a chance for significant improvement. - *Community Passion*: The player community remains passionate and engaged, providing a reservoir of support and feedback that, if properly harnessed, could drive meaningful change. *🗣 Open Forum: Let’s Talk* I’m here to answer any questions and provide further insights as long as it doesn’t compromise my anonymity. My goal is to foster a transparent and informed dialogue about New World’s future. Together, we can advocate for the changes needed to realize the game’s true potential. *Anonymous New World Enthusiast* --- Feel free to comment or ask questions below. Let’s work together to ensure New World becomes the game we know it can be.

[@trolli2872]

i dont think you understand what a roadmap is

[@TopherWeston]

Literally said the roadmap will be released after console launch.

[@BetterDeimos]

their roadmap is an idea map. They'll remove half of what's on there anyways like they always do

[@TheCrushmaster]

@@TopherWeston Yes, after explicitly saying it would release in June in their February dev video. 🤡

[@ReddieEX]

@@TopherWeston problem about it is, that usually you give a glimpse of content at the start of the year like they did in year 2. now its like "trust us bro, we will give you one at october" which already resulted in a Trust break for the june announcement: No, we will not trust you at this anymore.

[@TudX011]

they probably don't show the map before october 15th because they want to see if they have anything big to fix and most likely because based on the number of new players, they will decide how many resources will go into continuing the development of the game

[@BetterDeimos]

I feel like all of this mess could've been avoided by stating at the beginning of the year "Hey all, we here at AGS are preparing to launch New World on Console. Be on the lookout for the release info and what to expect when it releases, in June. In the meantime, we would like to focus our efforts on this launch and our plans around it to make it as good as it can be so we will not be releasing much until later this year. Thank you"

[@AsahDuhh]

That’s asking too much for a group of devs that have proven to not take any accountability

[@procles876]

They decided to milk us with Season Passes that they're discontinuing lol conveniently

[@DustinHarms]

I can only speak for myself, but if they came out and just said they were aiming for a relaunch and needed time for console, QoL, and performance/bug fixes, I'd have totally understood, and probably actually looked forward to them bouncing back after a heads-down period.

[@LilAlbus]

I think that they did say something like this actually around January.

[@Randomybored]

Or they coulda added better rewards in 3v3 and new maps in opr in the . Years they had

[@user-uk1nw4lh6y]

Thanks for confirming that we will have absolutely fuck all to do until October 15th, you told us for 6 months to wait until June just to tell us to wait again until October 😂😂 I can’t bruh

[@therealzeem]

they spent half a year being hush-hush, telling playerbase to wait for june announcement. @5:22 "nothing between now and october"

[@robciog2006]

That's the world we live in. Your anger changes nothing. Enjoy your free time waiting for October.

[@vonkarolinas]

And?

[@LilAlbus]

Would much rather them do this than give us a buggy patch of rushed content like they've been doing. When this patch hits its going to completely change the game it will be worth the wait.

[@arklinmike]

Sorry Bro - in case you were out, they mentioned a couple of updates ago that they were set to announce stuff in the spring, but AMAZON told them they had to wait. Like any other contractors they serve at the pleasure of their employer and they had to hold off on it.

[@ITALIANWRAPPER]

Please if you are a console player. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TRASH GAME. CHECK THE REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING IT. So true. Bruh i quit the game in 2022 why u all still keep playing a dead game 😂 under 25k have no sense to play that game. They do like this since launch. No one want to come back to this trash game. Just give up. The combat system can be cool 1000x but if the staff and team behind the game sucks there is no reason to put hope in it. Just give up guys. I have played 7k hours. I will never come back. I even buy the dlc and i didnt even play it(quit it again after 7 days or less). Everything sucks ahahaha whats the point to play a game where each update brings 3636x bugs 🤣🤣 or where they change the gamestyle and gameplay every 3months 😂😂 all ur grind gets always invalidate to make new player able to join the game. They care more about selling the game instead of grinding a fanbase and keep it. Do not fall anymore for their promise. Just drop the game like majority did! Gl to y'all.

[@danielparra9219]

You should go outside and touch grass. It's interesting to say that a game isn't worth it when you have 7k hours in it, which is practically a year lolololol.

[@fwdrummer]

i'm in somewhere between disappointment and love with the game. So i agree with both sides but your statement here is a huge gibberish which can actually persuade new console players to buy the game. They'll be like "whooaa that guy played 7000 hours, it must be an amazing game actually!"

[@danielparra9219]

@@fwdrummer Of course, I understand. I just found it funny. I don't support what they're doing with the game. I'm an old player; I've gone through all the phases and understand the frustration, and it's completely acceptable. It's just that from my point of view, I haven't decided to throw in the towel with the game yet. I think if they work well on it, it could turn out to be quite enjoyable, and if not, well, it was good while it lasted.

[@Caindele]

Well if people really want to deliver a message to AGS, they just won't buy the game on console and the PVP players will just not play and then maybe they will get the message.

[@danielparra9219]

@@Caindele Yes, it's obvious that you can't buy the game without seeing how it will work, that's more than clear. My hands are tied, and I'll give it a try on launch day since I have all the content purchased lol.

[@viciousjfitness]

New leveling experience... Updated leveling experience... We've changed the leveling experience... Yeah so, the MSQ and storyline have been revamped... Oh, and we're also getting a new leveling experience... Not to mention some thrilling leveling experience gameplay... Also, we've made a lot of changes, so you can expect the ultimate leveling experience... lmfao. What a damn joke! We waited 3 years to get a new leveling experience... Also, did I mention the MSQ and leveling experience has been changed?

[@FRiiZZHD]

But "the way we tell the story" is what the people waited for!

[@InfamousMax]

@@FRiiZZHD No?

[@Z-MACx]

Sounds pretty legit for new console players though

[@ragix9307]

3 years? The game came out in 2021 and is still by far the best MMO game out there. Idk what y’all expected for an update? They added lots of stuff and are bringing 2 new consoles to the game.

[@viciousjfitness]

@@ragix9307 "3 years? The game came out in 2021" It's 2024. " the best MMO game out there" 5k players worldwide says otherwise. " Idk what y’all expected for an update? " Content would be nice. "They added lots of stuff" Yeah, stuff for new players, especially the new leveling experience. Did you know they revamped the solo aspect of the game? I hear the MSQ is updated too. Thrilling leveling experience.

"On Oct 15th we are all playing Aeternum" You sure about that? LMFAO

NW is way more alive than wow

[@saturn01]

Zero new content? Did you not watch. the video?

[@TheCrushmaster]

@@user-ue4mm2je6q I said "basically zero new content", which is objectively true. The expansion was very lackluster on content. The months leading up to it also were. Brimstone Sands is the last time we had a relatively major content drop. This is the smallest "big" drop to date.

[@TheCrushmaster]

@@craybest It's not a roadmap, it's literally just a graphic for the announcement. It tells us nothing about the future of New World at all.

[@soldiersmayhem2334]

Waiting nearly a whole year for no content 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LilAlbus]

Its better that they delay it until they release something that's completely polished and perfect IMO. Blizzard has done the same thing with many of their expansions and that's how they became successful. NW players want them to just pump out content but the reality is these changes need to happen first. This patch is going to be a really big deal IMO it's not going to feel like the sandworm scam.

[@DjEmillPerson]

why all these questions about people who dont own the dlc and 0 questions addressing the pvp community? Half of the questions were just repeats of the previous question

[@AsahDuhh]

Facts. They’re still speaking to console players who aren’t even watching this. So bad lol

[@HoraShadow]

oh wow, you are right, there was not a single pvp question... yikes!

[@ThaCousin]

Is not a PvP game tho is a PvD game. (Players vs Devs). And now it's more hardcore than before.

[@Merguin]

because this Q&A is fake. The questions are preselected and the 3 idiots at the table there knew all these questions beforehand. thats not a Q&A its a PR show

[@LilAlbus]

Optimization and bugfixes are going to be the content for PVP imo. It's going to feel really nice if the game runs smother and you can PVP without bugs. Also they're adding the matchmade 3v3 which could be pretty helpful. Pretty sure after they release this they're just going to start pumping out content too.

[@SpruceFlea53]

5:17 basically nothing new till october, no season 6

[@LilAlbus]

It's worth it. If new world can get a couple hundred thousand players its deff worth it. If this patch comes out and its perfectly polished and there's barely any bugs it's totally worth it.

[@Berserker604]

o7...What about wars? OPR? PvP? Do you have anything on this? Or...will we just be playing the same OPR map as we move into year 4? Will players who have played since day one still not ever experience a war because there is no form of content to help them do practice wars or simulate the environment? While I applaud optimization, PvE, and single-player improvements, many of your core players come to New World for PvP because of the unique combat. The upper echelon of endgame PvP is war...but this has just never gotten any attention. Console release is huge, don't get me wrong. But, a lack of content is going to result in the same problem. You have shown time and time again throughout Brimstone/Fresh Start, Rise of the Angry Earth, etc. that you can bring back large waves of players. But if you don't focus on both sides of the game PvE and PvP, continue to update your game with one batch of "new" content every year, and continue to not be in touch with your audience, this will surely end up resulting in the exact same historical trend we have seen. It seems that some of these questions being asked are still out of touch with the community, and I am curious as to where they even came from. I love war and PvP, so I will continue to play and give this a chance, but we have held on for 3 years--I do not think we can all make it a 4th if this trend continues.

[@Jedi71]

PC has literally been a 3 year beta test for console.

[@snowhitez681]

In their minds putting a war cooldown was the biggest shit to put more players in wars, what really happened was simply less wars over the time and I'm pretty sure they think that was a good decision to this day, what a joke. I did not see anyone new in wars because of this cooldown shit, I only saw new players joining wars because the old players were quitting the game, in the end of the day less wars = less players in wars and that's it. Back in the days (Pre-Brimstone) my server had a super healthy pvp community with 5+ different companies with almost no mercenaries fighting every day, after the cooldown update I got like 2 months with nearly no wars because of other companies were trying to deffend their territories from easier companies than us. AGS managed to fuck up all the shit and they still have no clue of what they done.

[@LemoniGames]

@@snowhitez681 And as time has passed, the players in warring companies continue to widen the skill gap between top companies and companies that have never warred. There will always be a skill gap in games, but in all other games there is a way to practice. For example, I can play unranked Valorant to learn the game and improve aim for ranked. In New World, there are OPR's and Arena, neither of which help improve players in a war environment IMO. We need ways for companies to do practice wars, or even have queueable content, similar to an OPR, where we do 50v50 war setting. Obviously there is more micro-management that happens with wars/companies. But even just giving players the opportunity to do something, like just play outside fort and capture 3 points, and the game ends, is far better for improvement than sitting there hitting a door that Bob the builder is working on in OPR. What is the point of wars if you don't even give the player base a chance to compete? Just wait until cross-platform PC vs. controller wars on fresh start...it will be a blood bath without ways to improve.

*📢 A Comprehensive Insider's Review of New World’s Upcoming Changes* Hello, New World Community! I am writing to you from the safety of anonymity, using a dummy account to protect my identity. I have been involved with New World for nearly a year now, not just as a player but as a member of Amazon Game Studios’ (AGS) “Experts Group.” My purpose in this post is to share crucial insights and deep concerns about the state of the game and the upcoming changes, which I feel have been mishandled and misunderstood. *🎮 My Background with New World* Before diving into the nitty-gritty, let me provide some context about my involvement: - *Dedicated Player*: I have clocked nearly 8,000 hours in New World, despite taking a significant break of four months. My commitment to the game is not just about playing but understanding its intricacies deeply. - *Part of the Experts Group*: I was recruited last year to offer specialized advice to the development team. Initially, this group comprised various media personalities from Twitch and KZbin, many of whom have since departed. Unlike them, I am not a public figure; my focus is purely on the game’s mechanics and potential. *🏗 The State of Development* From my first day in the Experts Group, I saw New World’s enormous potential. Unfortunately, despite our dedicated feedback, AGS has struggled to incorporate valuable advice into the game’s development process. This has led to a series of broken promises and a game that often feels more like an ongoing beta test than a finished product. *Major Development Issues* 1. *Too Many Decision-Makers, No Clear Leadership*: - The development team suffers from a lack of cohesive direction. With too many "cooks" but no "chef" to guide them, the development process is chaotic and disjointed. - Multiple builds are being developed simultaneously, leading to poor version control and recurring bugs. 2. *Poor Integration of Feedback*: - Despite the concerted efforts of the Experts Group to provide detailed and constructive feedback, our advice is often dismissed or ignored. The typical response is that it’s "too late" to implement our suggestions. - This disconnect between the advisory team and the core developers has led to frustration and a sense of futility among those of us who are deeply invested in the game’s success. 3. *Broken Promises and Unrealized Potential*: - AGS has a history of making grand promises about upcoming features and improvements. However, the execution often falls short, resulting in features that are either drastically different from what was promised or completely underwhelming. - For example, features like the much-anticipated gear sets have been in contention for months, yet they remain in a nebulous state with no clear implementation in sight. *📣 Recent Announcements: What Wasn’t Said* The recent announcement video aimed at console players left many PC players feeling neglected. Key details were omitted, creating more questions than answers. Here’s a deeper look into what’s actually coming and what it means for the community. *🔍 In-Depth Analysis: Upcoming PvP Island Update* One of the most significant updates on the horizon is the introduction of a new PvP island. Here’s what you need to know: *Core Features of the PvP Island* 1. *Automatic PvP Flagging*: - Upon entering the island, players are automatically flagged for PvP. There’s no option to opt-out, making the entire area a high-risk zone. - This feature is designed to create a constant state of alertness and challenge, but it also alienates players who prefer cooperative or solo play without the threat of PvP encounters. 2. *Tent Placement Restrictions*: - Players are unable to place tents within the island’s boundaries. This restriction forces players to find alternative ways to manage their respawn points. - While some players have devised creative workarounds, the developers seem indifferent to these exploits. 3. *Solo Play Mandate*: - Grouping is disabled on the island. This means players must fend for themselves, which drastically changes the dynamic of team-based strategies and undermines the role of support classes, particularly healers. - Despite repeated feedback highlighting these issues, the development team remains convinced that this restriction will enhance the PvP experience. 4. *Difficult Exits*: - Leaving the island is intentionally challenging. The exit area is a hotspot for ambushes, especially from players equipped with muskets who can easily pick off those attempting to leave. - The risk of exiting adds a layer of tension but also promotes toxic behavior where groups can dominate the exit routes, creating a frustrating experience for others. 5. *Resource Collection and New Currency*: - While the island does not introduce new raw materials, existing nodes yield significantly higher amounts of resources. However, gathering these resources takes much longer, increasing the risk of being attacked during collection. - A new type of coin drops in the zone, used to purchase valuable items. There’s also a new token that drops exclusively from a large chest, which takes an agonizingly long time to open, making players vulnerable to attacks. 6. *Cursed Materials*: - Resources gathered on the island are “cursed” and unusable until they are taken off the island. This adds another layer of risk, as dying within the zone results in losing half of these materials. - The cursed materials concept is intriguing but also adds to the stress and potential frustration, especially given the difficulty in safely exiting the zone. 7. *Artifact and Quality of Life Changes*: - A few new artifacts are being introduced, though they are not particularly groundbreaking. - Some quality of life improvements are on the way, but these are mostly minor design tweaks rather than significant enhancements. 8. *Persistent and Game-Breaking Bugs*: - Despite repeated reporting of critical bugs by the Experts Group, many remain unaddressed. The development team often underestimates the impact of these issues, partly due to their limited engagement with the game. - For instance, the gear score scaling bug continues to persist, affecting gameplay balance and fairness. 9. *Crafting Overhaul*: - Crafting systems are set to change once again. My advice to players is to pause any major crafting activities and save their resources until the new system stabilizes. *🛠 Developer Disconnect: The Core of the Problem* One of the most significant issues plaguing New World’s development is the disconnect between the developers and the actual gameplay experience. Many developers spend minimal time in the game, leading to a lack of understanding of the practical implications of their design choices. *Key Disconnects:* - *Minimal Developer Engagement*: Most developers play the game for only an hour or two, which is insufficient to grasp the nuances and challenges faced by regular players. - *Ignored Expert Advice*: The consistent dismissal of feedback from the Experts Group has led to a growing sense of disillusionment among those who were brought on to help guide the game’s development. - *Failure to Address Core Issues*: Persistent bugs and fundamental design flaws remain unaddressed, undermining the game’s stability and player experience. *🌅 Hope on the Horizon?* Despite the myriad issues, there are still reasons to be cautiously optimistic. The game’s core mechanics have significant potential, and there are positive changes in the pipeline. However, given the track record of mismanagement and poor implementation, it’s difficult to be overly hopeful. *Positive Changes:* - *Potential for Improvement*: The game’s foundation is solid, and with the right direction and implementation, there’s a chance for significant improvement. - *Community Passion*: The player community remains passionate and engaged, providing a reservoir of support and feedback that, if properly harnessed, could drive meaningful change. *🗣 Open Forum: Let’s Talk* I’m here to answer any questions and provide further insights as long as it doesn’t compromise my anonymity. My goal is to foster a transparent and informed dialogue about New World’s future. Together, we can advocate for the changes needed to realize the game’s true potential. *Anonymous New World Enthusiast* --- Feel free to comment or ask questions below. Let’s work together to ensure New World becomes the game we know it can be.

0:15 so you just admitted that none of this entire reveal was for us (your fan base), the PC players lmao💀💀 This video just shows that y'all really haven't learned a single thing about end game, gating Soul Trials to 3 a day just shows that you don't want people to play the game. It's just another quick daily that you do that feels rewarding during the 1st hour of playing, but after you are just playing the game with 0 progression and feels trash. There is nothing to grind solo, these solo trials could've been a nice grind with a low chance of giving some cosmetics or the deer mount from the tree trial but nahh.... Imagine if OSRS would gate entry to God Wars 3x a day lmao or WoW gate entry to lower dungeons so you can't spam/farm tmogs. It's just clear you guys don't know how to develop MMO's and that's why you market it as an Multiplayer Action RPG now. Such a shame, this game had potential.

Thankyou for adressing us. We want this game to be good and popular as much as you want. Was it that Hard to have a 15sec video pre-recorded saying "for old players, the video is on wednesday"... That said, so no new content until Aeternum...

Hello, New World Community! I am writing to you from the safety of anonymity, using a dummy account to protect my identity. I have been involved with New World for nearly a year now, not just as a player but as a member of Amazon Game Studios’ (AGS) “Experts Group.” My purpose in this post is to share crucial insights and deep concerns about the state of the game and the upcoming changes, which I feel have been mishandled and misunderstood.
