New World: Is It Worth Playing In 2024? - Review After 2,000 Hours

[@alejandronunez7650]

if you are a casual player = yes. if you like to play 16+ hours everyday and go deeep = no.

[@NewbWorld]

Completely agree, due to work I play 2-3 times a week, slowly grinding away at things, and am always having fun, but I could see how hardcore players get frustrated.

[@alejandronunez7650]

@@NewbWorld yep, there is simply not enough content once you reach max level and you get decent gear..

It's pretty fun to play casually imo. Personally, I had fun when while I was mindlessly grinding skills and running quests while bantering in the world chat. It's not for everyone, but it may be a decent choice if you have nothing to play and need a filler game.

For sure, especially on sale. I got my copy for $20, and got 3k hours out of it, very worth it for me.

[@PotatoGunCamper]

Yep. I only got to play about 20 mins of the latest beta, so I went and bought the old version on PC. I'm quite enjoying leveling up and running around., I also really like the world and the pretty scenario. Perfect game to play while listening to TV/Podcast/Livestreams and so on. Prob will stick to the PC version once the new release drops because the PS5 one looked really muddy to me.

[@ahemming06]

Yeah dude some people chew through content like crack cocaine. This game is awesome there’s 100’s of hours in maxing your crafts alone. There is a TON of content to this game and a lot of fun to be had both PVE and PVP. People are just so damn impatient it’s truly amazing the horrible attitudes some people have. New World is my favorite MMO by far. Def give it a try.

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, it's a shame there's this toxic community now around the game, wish it was more positive and welcoming.

Thanks m8, I think you'll really enjoy all the changes they made to the game.

[@BrynnBumfuzzle]

Just a casual but frequent player (PVE) nearly 4000 hours. That being said, I have not leveled all the trade skills on the 2 servers I play (3 toons). Don't have BIS gear. And don't M3. Still trying to finish some artifacts and I don't have them all. I am not sure how players don't have anything to do. Their PVP track is maxed too? All achievements complete? All lore found? Every quest finished? Hit the new gold cap? Ultimate trophies? All heart runes maxed? It is overwhelming, all the things I need to do still.

[@NewbWorld]

I am in the same situations. Still using my gold as fast as I earn it on small things like BIS bags, finishing off trophies, skilling sets. I always find something to do in-game, but then again I can't play as much as some people due to work, and I have to edit a lot, so it's hard for me to use this argument against others who might have more time to play than me.

[@D.Snutts]

Yeah most players have yet to do all that. Too bad it's not worth doing lol

[@spiritzp5299]

Same here. Just slowly enjoying.

[@AJ_Zen]

It is not overwhelming. Every game has different goals toward catered audiences. There isn’t allot of players in any game that love to do anything. I stay away from PvP and slow grindy crafting systems like new world, so I will never get any PvP trophies neither do I care. So you can’t tell me “ Oh there is PvP stuff to do” for me that’s dead content

[@NewbWorld]

@@AJ_Zen Well you can always do PVP tracks without PVPing, just for the artifacts anyways.

i mostly just play it due to fomo nowadays. i have over 3 million coin, ultimate trophies *3, fully bissed out pvp and pve gear, 90%+ in-game achievements, every title (seasonals too), now i'm just trying to get all transmogs and lore pages but alas some are bugged or unavailable. tired of hearing nw players say the game 'has potential', whatever potential it had died 2 years ago. new world is already 3 years old, it's just not making a comeback, it has too much bad rep for any revival. i'm low key just hoping it shuts down soon so i can finally be free

[@NewbWorld]

Damn, you went hard on the game. When I am in a rut, I usually just use my gold to host community events in my house like quizzes or transmog comps, that always makes things more fun for me. I am waiting to make my final judgement until June, if done right, console could be the game's savior, but I am not holding my breath. With pretty much all of the PC population leaving, it gets rid of a lot of the negativity, and maybe with all the console players jumping in to the game, who have never played it before, and not been through what a lot of the players have been through, if the game is in a good state, they can come in with a fresh set of eyes and build a better and more positive community.

[@bigheadkittygaming]

@@NewbWorld Thanks for the video. I think that if they don't make the servers cross platform the game is pretty much dead. I hope they make them cross platform because I do like to casually play the game even with the issues.

[@skycatlive1576]

Agreed, No potential left, I knew when i completionist Angry Earth in a single day. Think Brimstone took me 5 months? Let it be. Too much bad rep for a revival, agreed. Tragic. I like the combat more than souls, an the crafting more than rust, the music more than WoW. But thats it. UI, quests, optimization, blob pvp, mounts they didnt need to add were just extra work, all bad. When the graphics got dated but the client still didnt play well with other mmorpg clients that was it for me. Theres just no endgame loop if you are bored of ECR, which has too much walking sim. I capped out 6 chars700 ilvl 3 servers all 200 crafting. Id rather pvp in EvE than NW. What else is there to do if xpac is done in a day and all proffessions are 200+ on all chars. Game came on like crack but it was WAY TOO EASY to put it down. ALso I dont think a flood of population from console will save it. Maybe games pass will save it but has games pass saved ANY game?

[@DogukanSeptem]

I was there on launch. We truly believed invasions are impossible to beat and we will never lose Windsward. I was there when we beat an invasion for the very irst time. I sealed 500 breaches, killed 2000 PVP. Nostalgia is a weird thing, I only remember the very best and only fond memories, granted mostly due to my company (shout out to Red Bears in Hydrus) while the launch was nothing but a dumpsterfire party and after some months, all we did was just talking with each other for hours doing nothing, just walking around on towns or dueling and oing chest runs every hour.

[@NewbWorld]

I really wish I was around for launch, it looked like a crazy mess. I know it killed the game for a lot of people, but I still think I would have enjoyed it. I love how everything feels so crazy at the start, same with Sand Worm more recently, everyone couldn't figure it out, now it's like clockwork, you can do it in 5 mins without paying attention 😂

[@connorhall69]

Is the game dead or its okay to play now?

[@Foof50]

One of my biggest problems with the game is that you're probably only going to be making one character and that one will do all of the skills. You have storages in every town that isn't shared for that one character and they are limited in space. Having to bounce town to town to get mats is really annoying

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, for sure they need to just make 1 big storage. It is such a a pain doing storage management. Hopefully soon. I made a couple characters, for some series, and to experience story again, but yea, no need really for multiple characters. Unless like you love wars and want to war in multiplayer servers multiple times a day.

[@vorisodan4627]

As a father of five and a full-time employee, I only have 1-2 hours a day to play games, but this one has brought me immense joy. I don't really understand the hype around newer MMOs that focus solely on endless grinding and back-to-back raids. I prefer MMOs that emphasize exploring the world rather than just gearing up and raiding. If you share that sentiment, you've found the perfect game to enjoy.

[@NewbWorld]

I agree, I love New World. Shame the community has become so toxic though. I kinda get why, but it's sad to see. I like a good grind, but like you I can only play a few times a week, and I have other stuff I also need to do on my days off, so can't play as much as I'd like, but I don't mind grinding a bit every day for a few months for something really epic.

Even still, it's a bit strange, some items are pretty much valueless. Maybe a general store ppl can sell to for a set price to get some items out of the system would help that. There are some good items you can craft and flip for a profit though, but there should be more.

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, it's so hard to explain. I get so many people saying combat is terrible, but I love it. Been playing a lot of other games, and recently jumped back into NW, and I got into a 3 way battle on a control point, and the skill, and intensity, to out maneuver and take out 2 different players from 2 different factions, it was unlike anything I've experienced in the other MMOs I've been playing.

[@AmaZingPotat0]

Hello, so me and a few friends are thinking about restarting New world (on one hand cause of your vid) we used to play in the early weeks of the release waaaay back November 2021, so yea we are max lvl with good gear (for this time), so now to the question : Should we just start new Charakters ? What are u guys suggestioning ?

[@NewbWorld]

You'll for sure enjoy it. Max level is actually 65 now though, after you get the expansion. If you plan on getting the expansion, which I think is kinda a must, cuz having artifacts and mounts will make things so much better, you should for sure look at getting it asap, last I checked it was on sale. As for new characters, I don't think it's needed. I would go in with your old characters, and get right into the new zone Brimstone Sands. It's an awesome desert zone, and it will unlock for you eventually something called heartrune gems, which are like ultimate abilities. Then you can start farming for the one you want to use and max it out. Oh, but first, if you're getting the expansion, for sure go get your mount asap, and start slowly leveling them up, to get they faster, as it'll speed up your questing by a ton. After Brim, I'd head to the newest zone, the Elysian Wilds, and start grinding for artifacts. They're a ton of fun. Basically, really strong weapons/armor/jewelry that completely change the way you play, and define you build. Like for example, there's a great-axe that scales with int, so you can make a really cool mage build with a fire staff and great axe that has so much mobility and power, it's a ton of fun. There's videos on my channel on how to get every artifact if you guys need. That'll consume your a good chunk of your time as you make your build and finish off your characters. Now, if you want to experience the new story they put into the game, I would hold off until console release in October, and make a new character in the fresh start console worlds to experience that. You'll get that awesome experience of playing the game at launch, with all the new and excited console players, plus with the release, there will be bear mounts added, and new cut-scenes in the story that just make the whole experience all the better. From there I'd run through the story and experience it. That's what I would do, you'll get kind of the best of both worlds. Hope it helps. (:

[@AmaZingPotat0]

@@NewbWorld Thanks for the answer, we are trying to get a few friends to also try the game again and we all might even restart (even before oktober) so we can all play for the same Faction and on the same server :)) hope it is as good as it seems in your vids, will look forward to ur other videos Hope we meet soon ingame

[@bonbarmandrink]

Its worth playing because it will be worth your money for the early/mid game. However, when you get 65 with xpac and start upgrading yoir gear to 700, game is no longer worth it. Just het 700 gs, max out some tradeskills, do a few pvp activities (maybe a war), then youve done all

[@az3eelnchill]

I paused at 3:27 to say it's in no way 2nd to none. The new player experience is not bad, but holy crap, it is not the best by any means. It's actually pretty boring. I can think of a million other MMORPG games that did it better. GW2, SWOTOR, hell, even WOW has better ones by far, and that's for every race!! lol Also, the visuals are ehh, it's pretty basic, to be honest, and I remember last time I played there was this huge frame rate issue. ALSO IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE: MOUNTS ARE LOCKED TO XPACK, and no, they aren't actually a game-changing feature like how Guild Wars 2 does it, they are just basic mounts, keep on walkin :''''( ALSO, side note because it killed a lot of my experience starting this game, nobody does low-level dungeons hardly ever. Anyways, overall this game is a solid 5/10 because it could really just be a mobile game if they wanted it to (and not a good one). I recommend ESO, GW2, SWOTOR, WOW, OSR, BLACK DESERT, don't waist your time playing a lazy-as-hell ran game.

[@NewbWorld]

I mean I guess it's how you look at it. The reason I love the new player experience in New World, is the feeling of being on a new and strange island, kind of like one of my favorite shows ever, Lost. Plus all the weapon leveling, and choices, I like the feeling of leveling the weapons for the first time, and as a new player, it makes you want to kill everything you see to get those new levels. And the gathering skills are done so well, it has you going and gathering to get those levels, to get more stuff, and it feels really satisfying imo. I never played WoW, I did play GW2, and I really enjoyed it, but I don't think I liked it as much as I liked NW, and the combat felt more skill based, despite all of it's flaws. Early on you kind of don't see all of the flaws. SWOTOR might be better, I haven't played that in a long time, but that would be purely based on the story telling, which that game does amazingly well (but that's not very hard to do in the Star Wars universe), I find the combat a bit underwhelming though. The visuals I still love, despite some areas it being really poor, like sometimes you will see a character face model and be like wtf, but then sometimes you will look off a cliff, and into the distance, and it's stunning. As for the mounts, I guess it's just how you define game changing, I don't mean like genre changing, I mean it just completely changes how you play NW. No more tons of running around to make things slow, you just jump on mount, get from place to place fast, even with Chest runs, it really sped up the gameplay. And then when you throw it into modes like OPR, it changes how that game works too. Even open world PVP, if you're trying to get away, you gotta think about dodging shots so you can mount up n dip, for me, that's game changing, it changes how I play the game. For the dungeons, I don't know when you quit, but with group finder, it's a lot easier to get the low lvl dungeons done for your quests, I still think more of a daily bonus for the random dungeons needs to be added though to make even more people do them. Even if you're still struggling to find someone with the group finder, just ask in Recruitment chat, I find it really easy to get a lvl 65 to run my new characters through it, a lot of the players have nothing else to do, so they will help you out. If it takes more than 5 mins to find someone, just offer something like a couple k worth of gold, and you should be fine. I recently made a new character to playthrough the new story, and it was very easy for me to find low level dungeon mates. But still, yea, there are a lot of other great games, and after June announcement, I would probably say hold off on NW, for at least a year, and try out something else.

[@WiFi314]

4k hours, my favorite action MMO and unfortunately in its current state with such a low population, 50% of the content is barely even playable because it requires groups that just aren't there.

There's videos on my channel on how to get every artifact if you guys need. That'll consume a good chunk of your time as you make your build and finish off your characters. Now, if you want to experience the new story they put into the game, I would hold off until console release in October, and make a new character in the fresh start console worlds to experience that. You'll get that awesome experience of playing the game at launch, with all the new and excited console players, plus with the release, there will be bear mounts added, and new cut-scenes in the story that just make the whole experience all the better. From there I'd run through the story and experience it. That's what I would do, you'll get kind of the best of both worlds. Hope it helps!

It's for sure worth it. You'll enjoy it so much more than launch, and hopefully by the time you're getting through everything, it'll be October, and then you will have console launch and more new content to run through. I'll copy and paste a comment I made for another person looking to come back to the game that quit at launch, maybe it'll help guide you along what to check out! Max level is actually 65 now though, after you get the expansion. If you plan on getting the expansion, which I think is kinda a must, cuz having artifacts and mounts will make things so much better, you should for sure look at getting it asap, last I checked it was on sale. As for new characters, I don't think it's needed to make a new one. I would go in with your old characters, and get right into the new zone Brimstone Sands. It's an awesome desert zone, and it will unlock for you eventually something called heartrune gems, which are like ultimate abilities. Then you can start farming for the one you want to use and max it out. Oh, but first, if you're getting the expansion, for sure go get your mount asap, and start slowly leveling them up, to get them faster, as it'll speed up your questing by a ton. After Brim, I'd head to the newest zone, the Elysian Wilds, and start grinding for artifacts. They're a ton of fun.

The gathering and crafting works great for a pair, I would even say you should play like a duo iron man mode (so you don't use trade-post, and make everything). One of you can be out gathering resources, like iron, and the other can be leveling weapon smithing, and make weapons with the resources for you both. Most quests are in the open world, so you can run alongside each other doing them. A couple missions will require you to be in a solo instance, but not many. And you can do expeditions together as well, which are like the dungeons.

Anyways, this was a huge deal back then and the forums were constantly arguing about it. In the end, like 70k players left the game and appointed “stagger-less” combat as one of the contributing reasons. I eventually also came to realize the game was a skill spam fest, and left the game along with my friends.

buying the dlc is a necessity is a prime example of a bad game, DLC isnt supposed to make the game better to the point its needed, its meant to be additional content to an already completed game. If its just for the mounts, then they can do what gw2 did and put either rentals everywhere, or what they recently done, and gave everyone the base raptor. If its everything else, well again sounds like content they should have already added for end game to begin with.

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, I think it's just step one of their plan though. The way it feels to me, is that next they make the game free, and the base game is free trial like a lot of MMOs do, and DLC is what ppl buy if they enjoy what they're playing. Keeping nice stuff like mounts behind it, like GW does, to incentivize ppl to buy DLC. That'll boost their player numbers, and probably be the smarter business model.

Hello there, thanks for your input. I am considering returning to the game to play casually as I have little time for video games nowadays. I played the game on release until level 60 and have like 500 hours on it but completely stopped playing before any expansions released. I was wondering if you could give me some insight on what has changed since release? I know a lot has and there has been many dungeons added and stuff but im more interested in knowing mechanical changes and just overall substantial onces that affect gameplay. One that i heard like a year ago that really turned me off was this whole thing about needing multiple builds/sets to progress through certain high level content. Is this true; that sometimes you need to switch from dps to healer to tank and what not to be able to do some content to where you would need multiple gear slot loadouts to progress or complete specific content? Or can I do it just which sword and hatchet or something like that the entire way? I ask because I don't want to feel like i have to spend extra time min maxing gear for all classes and weapons. Let me know what you think and thanks!

[@NewbWorld]

Hey, yea, you're going to love the game if you casually play it. It's really only the people who play 5 hrs+ per day who are complaining about it. To give you the best advice, I'd have to know the kind of player you are, but I'll give a broad bit of advice that'll work for most players. For starters, the main story line has been completely reworked, and is actually really good now. So might be worth making a new character to experience that, or you can watch my series, the story of New World, which is like a cinematic journey of the revamped MSQ. There's here if you want it: kzbin.info/aero/PLsvqzr-SWJqvqqL1SkgsQqWMC5eUFun90 They're also adding even more cut-scenes and cinematics to the main story in October, with the console release, so maybe if you want to experience those, hold off until then with the new character. Now, the level cap has been raised to 65, but to be able to get there, you need the expansion, if you don't have that, I'd say that's something you should look to get, you could wait for it to go on sale if you're not in a rush. But this expansion will unlock a bunch for you. You will now get mounts, with the riding skill line, so you'll want to get your mount leveled up, and most importantly, you will unlock artifacts, which are really good items, that you can only use 1 of, per item type (1 armor, 1 weapon, 1 jewelry). These artifacts will completely change the way you play. For example, there's a sick great-axe called Abyss, and it can scale off of intelligence, so you can then make a great-axe/mage build that's so much fun to play if you pair it with a fire staff, and it'll hit like a truck. You'll want to grind out the artifacts you want for your build, which won't take very long, they usually drop pretty fast, and they have a pity system (unless they are on the PVP track, those are bugged atm, and take forever to get). But if you want to see what artifacts are out, and how to get them, here's all my artifact videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLsvqzr-SWJqvz9HU3QhKPcaqMDfJplAGJ You for sure never need to change your play style at all through your play through. I have been using fire staff/ice gauntlets for the last couple of years, and had no issues. What you might be thinking about is mutated expeditions. You can run through these with the same old PVE gear you use for everything else, the only things is every week it rotates what kind of mutation it is, and if you want to do the highest difficulty, it's best you slot a gem of the mutation in your gear, to make you more efficient in the run. Regular dungeons, and M1s and M2s for sure don't need these gems. And switching gems each week, isn't much work tbh, or that expensive. They introduced gear sets as well in NW since you've been gone, so you could have a set of gear you just always run around in that you'll never change the gems on, and your expedition gear in another gear set, and you can change between the sets with the click of a button. I use these gear sets for my trade-skills gear. So I have 1 gear set for logging, 1 for mining, and when I see an ironwood tree, I press the button I assigned my logging gear to, to switch into it, and then cut the tree, for added resources, and then go back to my main gear. This is completely optional though, because it doesn't add that much of a bonus. I think you will really enjoy the game (if you get the expansion), and you for sure don't need to min max much in this game. Once you get a couple of pieces of highest ranking gear, with the skill perks of the skills you use, you're good to go. Don't spend too much of your time or gold min maxing, because gear score will be increased to 725 in October, and we don't know yet if we can upgrade our gear in the gypsum kiln yet, or if we'll have to go hunt new pieces. Oh and we got dungeon group finders now, so if you like doing those, you should find more ppl, and cross world OPRs, so if you like PVP, you'll be able to play more matches. Hopefully that covered most things, feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have. And if you're lost on where to start looking to gear up, here's a video I put together recently showing you some bosses that drop best in slot jewelry you can grind for, to start gearing up. And then once you get the jewelry to drop, just upgrade it at the gypsum kiln with the 3rd perk you want and you are off to a great start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnO4Y32IbN-ljZI

Back when the game released i had so much fun playing it Casually, but that i mean i took my sweet ass time to progress the story, i was very hooked with chopping trees, mining, crafting and cooking 2 bad i cant find a similar game to new world i do like the combat since it doesnt have many skils like wow has too much for me

[@NewbWorld]

Exactly how I feel. All these games with 2 bars of 20 skills, it's too much to learn, too much to remember, I don't have the time. Plus the gather skills are phenomenal.

[@pietropesce5355]

big question..new world or GW2?

[@NewbWorld]

Honestly, at this point probably GW2, maybe when we see roadmap I can change my mind, but I think this is going to be a painful year in New World.

[@zaoshikung2756]

New world on console is confirmed crossplay. Distinctly says crossplay in the trailer. Just fyi.

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, this was put out before the trailer though. (: Cross play is good, will see how they make the rule sets though, I feel like console only servers will be needed, because PC players might blow them out of the water on mouse and keyboard. Cross progression hopefully soon as well. (:

[@btheos2611]

Keep up the good work bro you're a hero if you still play

[@NewbWorld]

😂 Thanks m8. Yea, I am still enjoying myself.

[@kystuv9834]

played when the game first game out maxed out and there was no end game wanna come back but not to sure where to start since theres alot of other things to do now

[@NewbWorld]

Honestly there isn't that much end game content, but if you haven't played since launch, you will get a good amount of content. You should probably get the DLC, I would start by getting my mount, and then go through the Brimstone Sands zone/story, and after that, over to the DLC zone, Elysian Wilds, and work through there. Then get some artifacts for your build, they will really change the way you play the game.

[@DejvidR6]

there just nothing to do i have 1.6k hours myself but there is no endgame u just run same boring dungeos that u dont even need a tank for.. and wars that were keeping me in game for prob 600 extra hours since my company was strong.. idk how amazon still plays this dev team im impressed insted of doing something that could keep player for longer they focus on revamping cooking.. game needs a team that can do things quicker and better and 10 new dungeons wont save a PVP focused game even tho they said they leaning into PVE experience now which is complete joke of an statemant.. liked the game but theeree is actually no hope with this team of devs.. and the fact that same team working on new LOTRO mmo im worried

[@NewbWorld]

They have said that a lot of the slow response time was down to the previous coding. With the new code in place, I am going to give them another chance to prove me wrong. Already I am seeing fixes rolled out faster, hopefully it'll allow them to make content faster as well. Just gotta wait and see.

[@DejvidR6]

@@NewbWorld problem is their idea of new content is just another easy dungeon.. pve was never intresting in this game atleast for me they should stay focused on pvp if they want to fix pve they neeed to remake whole game how mobs act etc...

[@x_x714]

After 6k hours since launch, no. The devs are just unable to make the game good.

[@NewbWorld]

For me the final decision will be by the end of the year. Now they got the code re-worked to how they want it, if they can get things to a better level, and start delivering without delays, I am willing to give them one more go.

[@samuraidabz885]

If players got picked randomly for wars I’d come back this game gave to much power to groups either you follow what I say or your not going into wars I can’t get behind that shits dead asf

[@NewbWorld]

They for sure gotta rework the system. It has the potential to be amazing, just needs some tweaking. The same with a lot of things with the game.

[@ModernStrikeGameplays]

not to ruin it for someone trying to get convinced if new world is worth it, but now a days, its more likely you'll find sex games more fun lmao

[@juanalvarado7794]

New content for JUNE? They were working in a Console port this whole time ... that's your June content. Better luck next year guys 🤞🏻😂

[@NewbWorld]

Guess I gotta sell my PC n go get a console. :P

[@Applecompuser]

This is a good genre for like a RTS game.Otherwise, it reminds me of WOW and no-one will do better than the classic Blizzard.

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, overall probably can't, but with NW being action combat, vs the tab targeting of WoW, I feel like there's a whole fan base of this kind of combat that don't really enjoy WoW.

[@Robin_The_SkyrimLord_NLD]

The Elder Scrolls Online have also the same problems with PVP.

[@NewbWorld]

Really? That's a shame. It's been a few years since I played, but when I first got into Cyrodiil I was amazed, it was so fun. Sewars were fun too, but not to the same level.

[@Spyriel]

the fact that you play firestaff instantly makes your opinion void xD

[@NewbWorld]

Best weapon in the game. (;

[@HafidLazuardi-sy8ft]

I have 9k in the game just log in and doing same all day this game is o content after year and they do same event thats make me quit this game

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, I get it, after that many hours there can't be much more to do. At 2k I still have tons of stuff to do, it seems to just be more of a casual game.

[@hajinka98_]

I couldnt even do the first noob dungeon expedition due to literally no players. 95% of the people that plays it now are 60 doing the end game content lol

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, the non-mutated not many ppl do, but it's really easy and you don't need a full group, so if you ask in recruitment chat, you can probably get someone to run you through the ones you need.

[@hajinka98_]

@@NewbWorld How many players total are active? am thinking of returning to play

[@NewbWorld]

@@hajinka98_ About 10k per day, it's a very low period, but in June after announcement I expect a good amount of ppl to come back.

[@tmr10059]

i try lost ark and already spent 200h in game. when i try to get into legion raid, my monkey brain cant keep up with like 100 mechanic per boss. so i just fucking give up why i playing game like doing homework

[@NewbWorld]

Lost Ark was fun, but it got a bit much for me. There's just so many stuff you gotta do, and everything is so complex.

[@RikkuRikku]

in short : no in long : nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@NewbWorld]

Well, I for sure think there's enough fun to be had for new players, and players who quit before Brim, but yea, it would be a no if you quit recently.

[@AJ_Zen]

New World is just for specific audiences, that’s is minority of minority. Stats show that. They added new transmog system that is buy to use , or be very lucky to get one token for chest. Their leveling is glacier slow. So having alts is non existent. Only this minority loves this game and enjoys it. It has potential it needs lots of rework. L

[@NewbWorld]

It does need a lot reworked, but I feel like leveling isn't slow, maybe at the start, but now it's pretty quick. Transmog system for sure needs more way to get tokens, and higher drop rates from chests, think I only ever got like 3 or 4 from chests to this day.

[@MG-un9bh]

Hopefully it will have crossplay with console release. Then i would even start a new account to play with my friend who has a ps 5. Even though i was already lvl 60 and finished the main game a year ago

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, I am not sure if it will though, would be nice. At the same time, if it doesn't have cross-play, when you start on console it'll be like how launch was, with everyone starting all over with fresh accounts, which will be interesting. If it has cross-play, I hope they throw in some fresh start console servers so players can experience that.

[@MG-un9bh]

@@NewbWorld yeah the start with the first hours with exploring the map and all the other stuff with friends is really fun for me

[@NewbWorld]

@@MG-un9bh Yea, they just need to work on end-game.

[@skycatlive1576]

Ive got 1500 hours, answer is no. Let it die,let the engine become another bad game like Pax Dei, LOTR. I logged into Pax Dei Alpha 1st time yesterday? and left and uninstalled after 5 mins when I saw they were using NEW WORLD'S UI. DEAR GOD WHY. Well. AGS theyre new, they need to learn, so do we. No joy, no sorrow. I seriously think they used us as a waiting room/stepping stone for their engine and we used them as a waiting room/stepping stone for a GOOD MMO. It was a bad romance, I do not regret =) Summer fling before you meet your wife in the fall, kind of thing. I think it was a win win. See you next time space cowboys i loved your game!

[@NewbWorld]

You left the game because of it's UI? 😂 I don't think I ever experience an UI that was so bad it made me quit the game, and I don't even find New World's UI bad. 😂

[@MrDaneis]

The answer is NO. Saved you a bunch of time. They launched with almost a million players and currently have just over 6k... This game is dead and for good reason. They split the player base with a DLC that should have been a free update. Don't waste your money

[@NewbWorld]

Tbh, after the June announcement, I would probably say no too. If you want to treat it like an MMORPG, if you get it on sale with the DLC for $20, and just want to run through it like an RPG, then I think it's worth it, but there's a lot of flaws.

[@diegomedina1659]

game has so much potential but they are just wasting it its sad cause the gameplay is really it just has no content

[@NewbWorld]

Hopefully they change our mind this Friday and they turn things around.

[@ute.fritzkowski]

Started the game a few weeks ago. I am a casual player, I have a full time job and stuff. I like it, it looks great, and although I am up to level 65 already, there is still stuff to see and do. But I can see the end of that already, and I don't know if I am invested enough in the game to deal with the minutiae of min-maxing a build, grinding and farming for just THE special perk or bonus. I am not that kind of player. Give me some weapon, and I will hit stuff. Give me lots to see and explore. But don't pester me with a gazillion choices of perks and goodies and different kind of bonuses that all give 0.001 percent of something. I already have a job, I don't need another one.

[@NewbWorld]

Honestly that's the best way to play it. I also have a full time job, so I only get to play a couple times a week, and it keeps me enjoying things. The people who can play 6+ hours everyday really are fed up with this. I feel like gearing is very easy to get bis gear with the gypsum kiln, but yea, a couple percentage buffs here and there with like trophies and bags isn't for everyone.
