New World: Forged in Aeternum - Community Q&A May 2023

[@JakobEslinger]

I have nothing but respect for these devs coming out and tackling these questions head on!

[@natefoldan]

For real. I don't even play the game anymore but I still watch these videos.

[@sirdernosoftides8137]

😂 they literally killed the game and didn't even play it. I need to get the stuff you're smoking. There's a reason they laid off 2/3 of New World studios. They will be milking the blue out of Blue Protocol.

[@DukeSloth]

I take Dave's grin as a strong confirmation that it'll indeed be time to return to monke in the expansion

[@Zhgarr]

Harambe final boss in First Light confirmed! 🦍

[@pigsquealingcore]

Chimp Ward gear gonna be lit

[@Shamus3]

Time to stock up on beast ward/bane.

[@ImAlwaysFrisky]

I dont think i've ever seen a dev team do things like this and take on real questions from haters AND fans.

[@UIMcocodog]

The oldschool runescape devs do and it's absolutely great as a new player to new world to see the same happening over heer!

[@sunfiretys]

Awesome dev team, nice info once again, thanks! End of video made me laugh :D Can't wait to see David's upcoming video :D

[@korrigan6072]

Gonna tell you something, guys... I recently got an offer of one free week to come back to WoW. I took it this morning (last day). I played like 30 minutes, and went back to NW. Combat in NW is so much better than in ANY other MMORPG ! You feel alive, it's dynamic. Keep on the good job !

[@hakunapototah3119]

100% agree. I made the mistake of buying WoW time in bulk... NW ruined WoW combat for sure

[@SetToThrill-STT]

for the trophies they should allow you to have them all up and then in the bio screen you can select 5 that are active.

[@madn0485]

I would prefer if my hard grinded trophies were up and active all the time. It doesn't have to be more complicated then that.

[@kirchhoff7049]

In regards to the "raid groups in OPR" question, I think the intention was; 'Will you add the new raid group functionality (being able to see where everyone is, etc.) to OPR?' Not being able to queue with 20 people, but being able to benefit from the new tech to improve the experience with your randomly selected team.

[@Novalax]

Ya this. Pretty sure I put the question up on discord. I probably should’ve put more effort in the wording

[@headbanger4449]

I have no problem being able to see your other 19 teammates in OPR on the map. this would be more fun if the intention is to reward the objective more than the individual score

[@gamblingrunt1868]

You guys are the absolute best. Looking forward to an amazing future of new world. Keep up the great work!

[@Dr.God-666]

I love this game, it's come a long way since launch and keeps getting better with each update. Please add more rewards for crafting and refining. The House scoring system needs a major overhaul and leaderboard rewards. Please add new quality of life improvements for traders, like better storage for large stacks of crafting materials and more sorting options in the trade post and inventory/storage.

[@Helderlog]

🚀🚀

[@rafaelsousasilva909]

crafting and refining need some love and perhaps new elements of gameplay like minigames related to the lifeskill

[@Dr.God-666]

@@rafaelsousasilva909 That would be awesome.

[@rangikumatsumoto3485]

raid group question stated there for sure isnt question about premade-raid for OPR, but actually about UI for whole allied team, seeing how many ppl are dead and where they are at any given time on map as that gives you chance to adjust to your team not following to baron or seeing two premades heading for backdoor etc

[@zargisan9017]

Loved this one. I got the itch to come back to the game over the last month and finally cracked today. I’m back on and enjoying it. Thanks for the updates and I can’t wait to dive into the new content when it releases.

[@StaciAllen-wy3ct]

I think you are going down the right path for the game. Keep it up.

[@MauriPlaysOriginal]

Loving these videos, thank you for always being so transparent and connected with the community. A question for the future PvP plans: Are you going to leverage the 3 factions setup? It feels like such a loss of potential to not dip into 3 factions PvP. OPR, Arena (and maybe smth entirely different) could all work with 3 instead of 2 teams.

[@courtneybrooks9198]

Please provide an update on when the PTR will be updated, it's been many days now since the update was promised? There's been no communication other than it wasn't happening.

[@saml.2075]

Actually i think this game can have a great future. It got nicely improved, got one nice expansion, now with the season pass they earn more money and can reinvest it. The base of this game is good right now and it has a good (hardcore) playerbase. Some good and interesting changes will come soon. Also mounts for the cryers that its a walking sim. And then just keep expansions comming and it will have a great future. Every single MMO took a few years to got great (wow, eso looking at you)

[@reddrubicon]

LOL that Katy bit actually made me burst out laughing 🤣 love these videos!! ❤

[@MiKalol]

actually a W QnA, well done guys :)

[@DeAzevedo]

Can we get some weapon patterns for the new event ?? Why are we only getting armor ones?

[@claudioestevez1028]

I think allowing to have all your trophies makes so much sense. You work so hard for every single one and the limit is almost like a punishment. I would imagine that from a dev perspective it would be sooo much easier to program the "allow all" scenario over the "swappable" scenario. The swappable scenario sounds to me like there would be a fixed place in the house for trophies rather than just putting them wherever you want.

[@KrokusOfDagon]

i mean, the game probably just has a "check" where if player has "x in house ->enable x bonus", but i agree, having all trophies available just makes more practical sense, having to swap trophies and remember said trophies anytime i do anything is kinda meh tbh, if you have them swapping them really doesnt do anything, its just a mandatory chore of go to house put up new trophy x3, that being said, they would have to limit the trophies to "1 of each trophy" kinda scenario.

[@johnkaiserZ]

se siente bien refrescante para el juego verlos respondiendo preguntas de los jugadores...diría que no he visto hacer esto en otros juegos....se siente más personal, y sí !!!!, auxilio con eso de los trofeos queremos democracia.

[@geonosi]

Amazing, amazing, amazing stuff coming! If all these promises are delivered successfully, and the game gets a much needed engine/code optimization, New world has an amazing future ahead!

[@ATLien12]

“I’m gunna make a video on PvP content” great deflection per usual

[@Vik-Tor94]

did not see a single question asked from KZbin comments. I guess you don't read these.

[@MeMe-pd8mi]

Please add 1x1 Arena finally.

[@Mr.NoodleHair]

I only just started the game a couple days ago, and it's so refreshing seeing a dev team so open and chill with their community!

[@SakiLearning0]

i want to say thank you for making the season pass easy now i will return and get the 100 LVL so i buy the premium one, i just want u to always show task together like (do mutation + do expedition) or ( partecipate in arena + do 50k dmg in arena) .... ect / like make us do what we want and complete multiple tasks in the same time ( help make the season pass also for players that can play only 3 time in week)

[@sraitama9412]

Rly love way you doing those videos

[@SIRCAM73]

Great episode love the humor 🤣

[@dracuhl8342]

Yooo what? lol. I stopped paying attention to this game completely about a month after launch. I saw this pop up randomly on my feed and it is both funny and informative. Good job and now I want to watch the others to check out what all I missed.

[@milokopi613]

Are they hinting to a global bank/storage? It would be nice to have a place to store personal gold.

[@nerdacus724]

I would like to see a Herdy Gurdy, Bagpipes, Harp or Concertina for people who like to play as pirates and want that type of music.

[@jorgeosuna7375]

This definitely has to be my favorite q&a video so far. Also keep up the good work!

[@MM2001k]

I hope the looted transmog tokens is going to be enough. Not just 1 or 2 tokens or whatever. I am fine with a littel grinding. But not where it is not fun anymore. Transmog is afterall the huge part of the endgame in almost any mmo I have played and heard of.

[@VeNoMz_]

Should just throw token in the bin, and use a in game resource like Azoth.

[@denismdde8114]

we need PVE free option for OPR's please

[@Nightmoss]

[@jonei]

Lol you guys are the best Dev's ever man.

[@fabilichusaquaman4263]

Just let us put up 1 of each thropy in each house. Best solution! Do that fast plz! Also put a link when u log into the game with all Patch Note fixes/updates. That have been lacking since the game came out. Players have to find out of things them self or wait a week for a youtube video or 10 with people finding out stuff.

[@estdes1]

thanks for the video

[@obscurside3652]

Cross-server expedition ? with the increase in the number of expeditions and others multi-players content (raids), spreading the players in more content. Its becoming more and more difficult to find group, often waiting up to an hour to be able to start an expediton. Any plans to add cross-server expedition ? Keep up the good work, love to see devs engaging a lot with the community.

[@MrLouYouTube]

Cross-server expeditions and 3v3s will release in season 4 winter, they’ll want to test out how OPR works before implementing the feature to other content.

[@Carvalhal1989]

Pre 20 man opr actualy would fix balance problems BUT you need a "rank" Mode and "non rank" Just like we have now with randoms both sides

[@kronicrelief8364]

Balancing off win rate is useless, track average points earned/dmg done if your not going to deep dive balance. Group icons disappear when your within 50m is annoying, still no clarification on gear disruption, is it a gear reset or just new system?

[@zakgriffiths2683]

raid groups in opr should be a thing just not premade groups anyone who joins solo put in raid group

[@StaciAllen-wy3ct]

I think company v company OPR should be a thing. There should be a leaderboard, seasonal rewards, maybe even a seasonal bracket/playoff system. maybe it should be more akin to war with set times/dates opposed to queueing up whenever you want. It could actually be really cool and competitive

[@rowanb4395]

@@StaciAllen-wy3ct That is a cool idea, but due to the games longstanding issues (ie. RMT would go even more through the roof, real/ bot player numbers would be even more artificially inflated as people are priced out of competition - then the game would collapse in on itself) ... I feel it is all but a distant dream :(

[@thetankgarage]

Almost 2 year old game and the list of bugs is longer than any other triple a game I can think of, even something as basic as running in a straight line still spazzes out frequently. I played a few weeks after launch (since the game was in such a criminally poor state before that, it didn't actually seem safe to play) and literally the only thing that feels different is that they moved the "gain ability to fight" perk from 300 strength to 300 constitution. That's ACTUALLY all they've done? What do they all do all day?!?!?!?!?! Here are the three thoughts I had while playing today. "Guess I should try the event boss thing... great... no rewards after boss dies and no idea how it works. Even google can't explain it, fuck this shit" "Holy shit the UI/storage/build of this game is so unbelievably shit I now know several people who have leveled alts to not have to deal with sorting their inventory" "A quest boss I've spent 6 months casually dying to when I log in once a month just died and then fell through the floor so there's no loot that I need for the quest item... siiiiiiiiiiigh!!!!! How do the game still have this level of completely unplayable combat? What the fuck are they even doing all day? World of Warcraft Intercept has a 1 second stun for a fucking reason. How many years have they been making this garbage and still haven't figured out even the most basic of basics when it comes to multiplayer gamest!!?!?!?!!" Bonus thought "I fucking hate this fucking trading post UI, come to think of it, I hate literally every single piece of this UI period!"

[@emstorm1725]

Can we have alts with shared progress (crafting), housing, and storage?

[@Apachito]

i havent finished watching the video, but i had to laugh my ass off right quick. bro said, no expansion questions cuz we're hype for season 2....first question is about season 3 content hahahaha

[@danii5630]

I don't think this game will survive in the long run BUT you guys are awesome! :) you did a lot of things right after the release, sadly it wasn't enough to make people return, anyway as you develop the LotR MMO, I hope you will do everything right with that one and see New World as a practice MMO :)

When on Discord, do you allow us to ask questions. Every time I go on discord the dev channel is locked.

[@samenoise532]

To be clear, I dont think most people want to bring a whole raid group into OPR they just want to be able to see the people who are not in their group on the map. So when a game of opr loads will it bring everyone onto the same group so they could see everyone and know their role?

[@rick9705]

Balance PvP and make smaller 10v10 and 15v15 battleground maps. I've uninstalled twice this week. Fighting against 90% Bows/Firestaff is not fun! OPR map sucks it's WAY too big. Be back in Q4 to check it out again. PvP PvP PvP give us something!!!!

[@GamblerX77]

It´s easy to understand what a MMO is: It´s a PvP game. and the PvE is made to keep people in the open world so the PvP can happen. That´s it. You gotta make people fight for farm spots, for dungeons, for bosses, etc. That´s what MMO is. A group of 5 doing quests and dg together with no risk of PvP is not an MMO, it´s a RPG.

[@rimebinder]

I love the visceral impact of the game from harvesting to sunsets and the music is top notch. I am excited for the future content, but I have to ask are you all going to work on bugs that have existed for well over a year, specifically regarding housing and territory calculations being broken? I recently ran into a couple bugs that are game breaking for me. I have submitted reports but because these affect my character personally I am frustrated because I am not getting rewards I worked towards and it seems like submitting tickets in game go into the ether.

[@Coldberg]

Will there be graphics improvements? -> the low "sharpness" of objects takes away alot, e.g. in houses

Appreciate you not allowing raids in OPR. Pre-mades already stomping solo queuers as it is. Also transmog sounds interesting. I agree with Dr. God that the housing system needs an overhaul, needs its own leaderboard and maybe innovative ideas in the future for it.

I'd like to know when they ever plan on implementing an abandon quest option in the future. Currently, I have 21 quests that cannot be abandoned and it is keeping me from all the new content. I realize some quests can be abandoned, but not these. They are quests for gear, all of which are cruddy.

Damage meters should be present especially if you are including raids that you say should be “extremely difficult”. If it’s time consuming like any other MMO raids, no one wants to spend hours just to find out someone is barely contributing. The other toxic alternative already exists for other content which is requiring VODs so people can review them as an acceptance criteria.
