New World Rant - June Dev Update & Dead Game?

[@Taikomo]

It is strange how they messed up the communication with this reveal so badly. I haven't been this confused with a reveal in a long time, maybe ever. And it's unfortunate that they made this blunder on a Friday so we're probably waiting for any actual clarification until at least Monday.

[@drdeath8179]

Very poor management

[@D.Snutts]

They messed up everything up to this point it's not that surprising.

[@winterhearted6780]

That announcement left me scratching my head like never before, and I've been gaming since the '90s!

[@bisayatechtips]

want a better game? replace all the devs.. simple as that.. stupid devs will always continue to make the game stupid.. nothing will change if these clown are the ones managing the game.. but its still amazing how these 8k people still playing and keep clowning themselves that it will get better..

[@ErieRejects]

For me its more about the people I have met and play with that keeps me there, more the company than the game itself. If they were to quit tomorrow, I would be right behind.

[@mrzepher2539]

A new pvp zone and one raid is not good enough and you have to question the developers if they think it is

[@LordGank1]

We need to get a petition going to fire this dev team

[@NatOSz8]

Fire this AGS Team, they cant learn from their mistakes...

[@dumflex5895]

Check how many people have checked out the announce trailer on New Worlds official KZbin channel. I cant see this console release making that much of a significant difference. Also, if you remember cyberpunk 2077 being pulled from PlayStation store due to buggy launch? You think Sony will put up with the same as what we have since expansion release? You will have refunds, complaints and overall more negativity.

[@Discospawn]

They spent ~$250,000 on the SGF trailer to attract new/console players, and the only people viewing New World content yesterday were existing New World players. And yet you can go back through Forged in Aeternum videos and hear Scot Lane continue to use the phrase "return on investment" like he coined it.

[@DEE_MYZE]

ive heard the idea that this a "FFXIV ARR Relaunch" thing, it IS NOT , mainly b/c a large part of that FF Re Launch was replacing Nobuaki Komoto with Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi P) as Game Director . And well, i still see Mr. "Chestruns and Fishing are Endgame" Scot Lane. You have to "change the head of the Statue for the Body to make sense". I just hope Console players do their research first rather than be made in to cattle to be milked.

[@robertrogers8519]

Any world on graphic settings from oc to consal. Med,high? Resolution.

[@Frostycrypton]

Personally, I felt like a similar (though nowhere near as bad) communication issue happened with the expansion. I know that you, Brian, always said that the expansion essentially included the next year of updates in the price, but I never felt that was the developer's intention that they communicated. I dropped off after the expansion released for this reason, and I got interested seeing there was a new announcement, but I am left scratching my head about this and feel they squandered their opportunity to get me re-invested into the game. I'll definitely keep an eye out for what they have to announce later this week, but they've gotta dig themselves out of this hole.

[@gingerprimemmo]

I think there is good stuff here for everyone for sure but yet I’m here waiting for more and that’s just a bummer to me. I hope Monday provides clarity

[@travisbruce4170]

I straight up thought this was Louis C.K. talking about New World.... :(

[@PeterPanbe]

This was the only way to relaunch. Current base is gone, potential as a "new" game for console is in the millions. Positioning as a solo focussed MMO makes sense as most MMO players play solo. Communicating it as a "relaunch" of a bad game would be worse for new players than positioning it as something new. IMHO this is tough for die hard fans but I personally will ABSOLUTELY give the new launch a try.

[@nakanoku]

watchin new world for the years is like watchin a crawling legless creature pretending to have legs soon....

[@eaglegaming88]

I expect to be new things in next season, for current players. Also there is ton of content for new players to experience when they start to play on consoles, we on PC were beta testers for greater money income with consoles.

[@buzz819]

Been playing since release, 1900 hours. Tried to play Season 5 update 5.0.2, and now game is crashing hard lockup everything login to Valhalla. Posts on Discord seem to indicate I'm not alone.

[@tolgains1830]

although they havent mentioned a new weapon, has anyone thought about the dual pistols in grace o malys hands......

[@Genesis115]

This hurts so bad! :( I miss you guys!

[@gingerprimemmo]

Dude, likewise, hope we can hang out soon.

[@ceraskborec12]

If this is the best AGS can do, then i have 0 hopes for the game in the future... What we wanted is brimstone level update, maybe a bit more with crossplay console update, new weapon, OPR map... what we got? A swimming without diving i guess or any other progression, 1 raid, another rework zone and FFA PVP zone, that will be dead in 2 months, because they will forget about updating rewards or create any meaningful ways to play... same like PvE arenas or portals... All this for another 4 months of wait...

[@CSHarvey]

Been playing since Brimstone patch, and finally ran Forge for the first time last night. Still have a couple expeditions and trials I haven't set foot in or exhausted. Paced myself with other games because I learned that AGS content deployment is glacial.

[@user-yw1in1kz2q]

Do you think the game will come alive again?

[@doombeak2517]

I miss new world but have no reason to come back , again. I’ve accepted they’ll never match that initial launch vibe again and that’s okay. Rip Nw 😢

[@MMO_Bean]

AGS is going to be at IGN live today. So I’m wonder if they’ll say anything more about it all to help give the current player base more and to salvage what they can of the current player base.

[@SmartyMcSmartsen]

Where did you find that info? I was looking through the schedule and AGS nor NW is mentioned anywhere

[@MMO_Bean]

I can add a pic, but if you google ign live it’s listed under day two about 2/3 of the way down. I’ll post in the discord general chat if you’re part of that.

[@michaelfreeman8290]

Will you be watching today at 2 PT IGN twitch with dev team. I really hope they clear some of this up today from yesterday's announcement or it's over.

[@gingerprimemmo]

My fridge went out last night, so I have to go buy a new one, and then pick up my kids (parents are watching them while I shop) so assuming I’m home, yes, but I’m not sure I’ll make it in time.

[@ArtificallyIntelligentAi]

New world had so much potential...I remember launch like it was yesterday....Immersive forest, great combat, active community then BUG BUg bug bug hack bug EFFING KEYSTONES to play content, drama hack gold dupe, market glitch, main dev's leaving, dead game fresh start, new life, bug bug hack hack hack dead. Then slap in the face which brings us to the current day.

[@Shokadezz]

Seasons, ah yes, welcome back to 2010! Everything has seasons. WoW has seasons.

[@BillyPitonNS]

Looks like they only got "brownies" for us now :D

[@Jagnarakgaming]

The players know what they want. So implement AGS. A Poll system would be great. Thanks for the video Brian and Crew.

[@touff333]

Next year we'll get New World Eternal Mobile that crossplays with Nintendo Switch. Net Ease now runs it

[@xalix86]

im pretty sure people will pay them money and forget everything right after they do 1 small good thing in this game , people dont show respect to their own selfs . there is not diffrence for them if one company dont care about them or do care about them , do respect them or do not . i really hope one day people respect them selfs in all ways around . not just video games

[@vasquezv244]

This was my worst fear for the game. Waiting all.this time to hear what we already knew

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

Great video brian i like your new style of youtube content man... keep up the good work dude.

[@sonjablue9850]

[@LiamHYT]

01:30 and there it is right there, this is the exact issue that has made 99.9% of existing pc players mad and now probably banned from the official NW discord

[@addadsoids8959]

once they fix the game breaking bugs then i think they need to rework the war and governor systems. if they want the game to have long term success.

[@FelipeBaka]

Almost a year ago I was sure they were trying to kill the game when they increased the price from the base game and DLC by more than 100% in SA (from $70 to $150), NW was so massive in SA, bigger in popularity than FF14, but they choose to kill the SA community making the DLC price almost the Baldur's Gate 3 price ($199), for comparison FF14 complete pack is $158, world of warrcraft full pack is $169, new world full pack is $352!! This is crazy and I'll never ever play any AGS game again in my entire life, they don't deserve any trust...

[@CaseyBartley]

I mean they stated most of the stuff in the longer form video. Just had to read between the lines. Pretty much all of it was data mined prior. I am not sure why everyone is so upset? Cross platform, server and sharding is big. New audience potential is big. Trashing them isnt helping, its going to drive people away when they are searching KZbin. Is the end goal from the current community to make the game fail?

[@trumangarrick9646]

What did you expect there was no one left anyway

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

brian dawntrail calling june 28

[@Z-MACx]

Yyeeeeuuup. It felt like a slap in the face. Especially for those of us who actually supported the devs throughout this period of silence. Extremely disappointed.

[@WorldKayos]

And I quit lol game was fun but not worth it anymore. Back to FF14 or ESO

[@ShadowKingRecks]

Nah, The launch of angry earth killed this game for me. Being a marauder it screwed my progression yet they did not care that it made the pvp unfair and pretty much told us we can wait for the next patch like they didn't give a damn about players they just go by deadlines and nothing else now with this whole we cant tell you shit cock tease for months...nope this game is dead to me atleast.

[@matheusgazola764]

The paywall they made with the expansion was the worst move ever. No returning players could play the end game without buying it.

[@zedorian6547]

Im confused….have these people never played an mmo that wasn’t RuneScape before?

[@GamblerX77]

NW is just a test camp for LOTR... just let it go...

[@TygerBlueEyes]

Ya not to happy 😢 meh is an understatement 😮

[@flyingmatteo89]

You're Italian as much as I'm Irish, and im actually Italian

[@user-if4ti4et9e]

stopped playing 4-5 months

[@HafidLazuardi-sy8ft]

there is so sad ive been playing this game for 10k hour this game is OVER!!!!

[@MiguelVega-ze6ny]

Looks like nerdSlayer was right all along 2 years ago. These devs just can't do it.

[@DblTapSlapMcGap]

This is what ags is doing- they are using new world as a beta for LOTR. It will have the same engine/animations/gameplay. They have no intention of new world future. It's just a way to make money off play testers. They will copy and paste LOTR over new world.

[@ramschasar7654]

I see new world as a game with a lot of potential but i lost interest over the years. Played brimstone sands and the expansion. That said, this reveal was only for consoleros and they marketed it as a new game, explaining who the lost are and so on. Really disappointing. A revamp and console release could bring me back but i got the feeling that they just want more sells and the players that already paid are not important to them. Just can recommend path of exile 2 to you. Thats a great game with devs that are in touch with the community and communication is on point. So sad to watch these new world videos after a poe2 interview. They could learn a lot from jonathan. I dont like the react hypocrite bs that is common these days (because its easy money) but new world devs earned it this time.

[@minakatahizuru]

The last people to milk for money before abandoning it like they abandoned pc.

[@gingerprimemmo]

Yeah I don’t think that’s what will happen, but time will tell

[@LADetective255]

I've come to accept this game is gone

[@kgotter]

Games not completely gone. We’re just secondary priority.

[@DoctorPepper4]

I have well over 4k hours in this game and I finally called it quits. All they do is the same crap over and over, recycle content, make FALLs promises and make the game worse. They killed this game and their fans base I don't care what they do next but from my experiences with this game it's just going to be another Disappointment.

[@fuckyoutubrforchangingthis]

No content yet you were able to spend 4k hours in the game??? ....right...

[@zombiejesus7445]

Glad new world didn't learn from ESO. Consoles WILL hold back content since they will have to make it for multiple devices. Don't be surprised if there are two schedules and releases now. ESO has a schedule for PC and basically the same for Consoles but 2 weeks later. The worst part is performance! For the longest time ZoS has been telling players "we can't add new skills/classes because the consoles are maxed out" You need to have it playable on all devices now, so you will have to make it for the lowest common denominator aka consoles

[@zedorian6547]

Oh shut up

[@CL-jq1xs]

meh if FFXIV can do it then it can be done. The question is whether Amazon can do it.

[@josephtidwell4845]

ZOS problem is they're still supporting old gen console the Xbox One and PS4. That's why they can't do the new skills and crap. If they dropped old gen and only focused on the next gens then they wouldn't have that problem.

[@kevinarnold8634]

ESO added a new class not all that long ago, so what are you talking about?

[@zombiejesus7445]

@@kevinarnold8634 they did for Necrom. Before that, they kept feeding the player base the line of not adding new skills, weapons, guildlines or new classes because of lack of memory on the consoles. When they added the arcanist, it did share some animations from skills already in the game

[@Grimmnight16]

It’s been a dead game for a Long time now. Started with 913,000 players and averaging 5,500 now. If that not dead nothing is.

[@zedorian6547]

That’s not dead. Just not crazy populated. If you consider it dead then there is no use arguing semantics.

[@Grimmnight16]

@@zedorian6547 exactly. Def dead.

[@NJtrailflow]

Still one of the biggest disappointments, New World is a mmo I waited for, for a while and enjoyed playing it and it fell on its face and was hoping for more so I could come back. But as of right now there’s no coming back. So I’ll just go and play EverQuest 2 or gw2 even black desert.

[@SodoMojo22]

Terrible marketing approach regardless of whether or not there is PC content coming. Also there are a lot of ways to describe what they did but co**-tease is not one I want to hear over and over again. Glaring on the ears.

[@petemisc4291]

God I hate the word “community “!

[@fernandojohnsen7639]

We need Content, what did we get. The 3 players who play on Console. Yeah cool so we got nothing. Cause 99% of players are Pc and 1% are Console cool. I mean it's just Amazon spit again in our faces.

[@zedorian6547]

You really love that bubble you live in

[@fernandojohnsen7639]

@@zedorian6547 wich Bubble ? That we deserve Content or did we need Publishers who care again for their community, tell me which Bubble is this in your Opinion ?

[@kevinarnold8634]

We don't know yet what we'll be getting precisely, as we are just at initial announcement. More details will be provided between now and when it comes out so people have a better sense of the full extent of that being changed and how it may impact their future enjoyment of the game. It seems quite major though, so is understandably concerning for those that just wanted more content for the current game. I can't help getting some "bait and switch" feeling over it, but if the switch is pleasing enough I won't overly mind it.

[@AverageYTcomment]

MMORPGs are one of the least played genres on consoles, there is almost no games to this audience in these plataforms. Or new world will be a massive sucess on xbox/ps5 or will be just another failure in a sea of closed console MMOs. I really hope they suceed on consoles because on PC looks like they have already fucked up.

[@ReadR00ster1]

This is replace your players instead of making new content.

[@kevinarnold8634]

Since those that own the game and expansion will get the new one at no additional cost it is not as though they are trying to replace players. If that was their genuine goal it would have made more sense for them to make everyone buy the new game with no credit for purchase of the current one.

[@jeremysumpter8939]

what a surprise...whoever read my comment here yesterday you see...i didnt have a crystal ball, i just know this game. if you still shill for this game you have brainworms

[@louishpjr]

Play the game or NOT. I like it for the few months I have been on. Don't know why all this talk and yammering about the game. No comentary needed. No game is flawless. NO Perfect game ...ANYWHERE/ANYTIME>> never wiil be. JUST PLAY IT OR NOT.

[@kevinarnold8634]

People want to talk about the game and are free to do so is why. If you aren't keen on that then don't participate in or observe the discussion. Exposing yourself to the commentary is not needed. Take part or not.

[@justinpatrick9249]

They might as well just release throne and liberty this game is trash there not saving it idc what they do. Total flop so please stop holding throne and liberty away from public just cuz there game sucks but they don’t want competition 😭

[@ITALIANWRAPPER]

Ahahahahahahah... 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. 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.

[@zedorian6547]

You and a lot of other players seem to have a very different idea of what constitutes a dead game

[@kevinarnold8634]

Presumably those playing enjoy it. Why else would they? Not even sunk cost is at play to keep people lingering.

[@planetg2125]

Take a break, is break for 1 year. It will take console players at least 6 months to get to GS725 and make a build to be decent enough at it. PC players will farm them in to oblivion if they don't take a year off
