Should You Play New World Aeternum? (150+ Hour Player Beta Impressions)

[@trevorcratty5566]

As a new player starting October 15th this game feels like a more modern MMO. I like that they don’t follow the same structure as all the other MMOs and I hope once they get cross play launched they focus on fine tuning and adding more end game content / expansions

[@GamingDualities]

not really that modern. lack of pvp content etc

[@darrenbates8897]

they stopped calling it a MMO and its now called an action RPG. part of the new release.

[@bobbythorton7693]

@@GamingDualities hope they add another opr map or war mode

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

​@Dualities I'm pretty sure a new opr map is coming with aeternum or shortly after... not positive, but I think it was announced. I also really think they did a great job when they overhauled how influence and war declaration works. I used to be in a big guild that was able to take/ hold territory... not the strongest on the server but top 3ish and I never felt a lack of pvp content... especially now that they'll have cross server opr and arena. As for the genre change, it's the exact same game but they market the arpg elements because that's a super popular genre on console, and the pc community sees it as a reminder that they spent years on the re release instead of catering to them. I think this attitudinal is short sighted because this game needs lots of players to survive and even at brimstone sands fresh start it hasn't been that high compared to what is needed by a big company like Amazon to keep the game running.

[@GamingDualities]

@@SomeGuyFromUtah yeah. i feel like the game just needs a bit more pvp content that gives the game more replayability. also weapon system and perks... could be better

[@solarwinds9363]

The enemy variety comes later in the game. 1-30 is more of an introduction so the enemies are kept on the simpler side. Thanks for your review of the beta!

[@beepbooploot]

Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy the launch :)

[@projectyogisha4670]

My main issue is player count + end game. Everything else I love, I wish this game was a 100%

[@beepbooploot]

Fair enough! End game is a real TBD at this point so we’ll see!

[@vexar7575]

Tbh end game is fair argument but player count kind of isn't since servers is 2.5k players so it will probably be always maxed out

[@projectyogisha4670]

@@vexar7575 it would have been great if they could increase the max count or maybe each do a mega server like ESO by partitioning the map or something. When last I played I had been transfered 2 times due to my server shutting down.

@@projectyogisha4670 Why? The map and the numder of ressources on it is just perfect for that amount of players. Plus there isn't enough places in wars for more players... why would you want more??

[@fdimb]

[@jjang8195]

This video was perfectly stated. The game is absolutely worth it for first time players, but this is not to be treated as a long term mmorpg.

[@tonnytrumpet734]

So its not, play rpg, MMORPG is only longterm as you need to invest in community otherwise every mmo is shit

[@beepbooploot]

Hey, thank you! I think that’s the perfect way to approach it for sure.

[@sliimcracker]

I really enjoyed, what seems to be an entire story revamp. I love that they added more cutscenes. Added more lore focused cutscenes as well. I also love that from what I saw in the beta, everyone was voice acted which was cool to see, and the voice acting was not all that bad either.

[@beepbooploot]

I agree with you! Feels like a totally new experience to me and I’ve played the level 1-30 experience 4-5 times now!

[@beepbooploot]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed the beta. Thanks for watching!

[@GR33Nday2]

I have 3.500 h. in New World, mostly PVP. If "lock on target" is not removed in the final version it might be GG for me.

[@DwightHarding1]

Why is that an issue for you

[@Oryyyt]

I'm hearing it's not as tight as people say and actually hinders skill shots. And i'm also hearing it's a bug that shouldn't be activated in pvp.

[@GamingDualities]

probablly added by the same dev who added slow on every melee hit

[@bobbythorton7693]

@@Oryyyt up close it's op, you can 180 hatchet throw someone in the face, takes skill out of melee up close, blunderbuss is crazy with it. You can lock on and lock off to get a easy head shot. It needs to be more like Aim assist instead of Aim Lock

[@cosm0850]

This worries me too. Is the aim-lock only on controllers?

[@uzmari]

one of the few videos that actually have a good structure on the game and what's to come, i look forward to returning and playing with our new console brothers, you guys are in for a real treat, the first 300 hours are heaven, no other game does early and mid game better than NW. if you're new pick the highest populated server, yes there will be more competition for mobs and resource gathering but i promise it will pay off after leveling when you need people to group with for chest, dungeon and pvp runs. once a server starts to dip around 1200 pop the death spiral will start, and AGS wont migrate servers quickly.

[@beepbooploot]

Hey! Thanks :) very excited for the first month of the game for sure and hopeful that the longer term future is great too. We will see!

[@phillipgooch6856]

First time playing this game as I don't have a pc and I can say im absolutely hooked

[@Darkilikill]

Tbh New World is not a bad MMO. I have 1k hours and I had a lot of fun out of these. For 80€ (base game + expansion) I had my fill. The problem is the wasted potential of NW. If you ask any NW player they will tell you "NW is the best MMO that could've been". It's infuriating to see AGS use a diamond to wipe their ass with, hence why PC players are so jaded. I can't remember a single update that felt "polished". They are filled with bugs, lack content and/or the devs do not listen to the community and introduce/change stuff nobody asked for. AGS do not take good care of NW, and it shows. I just hope that the recent lack of content and updates is solely due to them focusing on the console release and not them trying to scam their way, and once they are done with it they'll be able to deliver cool content. I'll keep playing and supporting the game, but it's their very last shot. Except if they plan to release the game on Switch and Samsung fridges, they can't really do the same trick again.

[@beepbooploot]

I am ever the optimist and hope that they get a better content cadence down moving forward too! Thanks for watching :)

[@JoKeCha]

Samsung fridges 😭

[@Slaughter-Bunny]

Having such a hard time deciding on what my next games going to be, the D4 expansion, NW, TNL, POE2 - I'd play them all of time wasn't an issue. One concern I have about NW is their long-term vision for the game and end game content. I highly enjoyed the beta though.

[@beepbooploot]

Totally agree! Lots of great options to play/soon to play. Long term vision is my main question mark too-we shall see! Thanks for watching :)

[@StealthBoyElite]

Shards allow them to scale up their server player cap a lot more than at launch. This is because the server load is shared and also because they don't have to worry about regions getting filled with thousands of players, ever. This allowed my beta server (EU 4) to upscale to 4.5k cap. Which is insane given the cap at launch was 2k, and when the game reached that, it played extremely badly. Shards meant performance, across the entire experience, was better than that anyway. No lag. No issues. And, in the beta at least, not one queue. It'll be interesting to see how high they can scale the cap. But 4.5k is probably more than enough per server at launch. It did feel like they could just keep scaling it up though :D Honestly, this is the best improvement to the game of them all. And there are many. Also, even if we do see queues, they've improved that experience as well. It doesn't crash any more and you get the option to switch to another server instead of queueing. This launch should be the smoothest ever in the game's history.

[@beepbooploot]

I love the sound of this! I’m so pumped for October 15th and fun to have some positive comments behind the game here :)

[@StealthBoyElite]

@@beepbooploot I'm really excited, can't wait to join in with the cross server fresh start 😊

[@gunnerjones9692]

I've got 2k hours in OG new world, haven't played in months though cause i got bored and servers are dead. I don't think the pc stand alone servers will have much pop from what they have no going forward once crossplay comes on the 15th. SO i think personally im gonna give it another go on the fresh servers for farming/early game/pvp and HOPE AGS keeps content pumping out as the year proceeds and the population stays UP LOL

[@beepbooploot]

Great way to look at it. You should get a few hundred hours out of the fresh start and then hopefully AGS continues a decent content pipeline!

I'm a older player played DAOC when came out .. I had A lot of fun this weekend playing beta . I was SERKER spec and never lost to a melee great weapon build in PVP or duels tons of fast dmg

[@nCognitoYT]

I LOVEDD the dungeon aspect of this game. The only thing I hate is the queue for it. sometimes, I would have to wait 30 min just to have a full group.

[@beepbooploot]

I’m hopeful that queue times will be good, especially for first week of launch. But yeah, that could be an issue long term but hopefully not!

[@DuskSky25]

i think they should really make a free trial for the first 30 levels. So that people can dable and do the entire introduction and see for themselves if the games is something they want to invest 100-200 hours

[@fullmetalathlete]

I'm so excited to finally play this new MMO! I've been waiting 3 or 4 years for this game to be ready for public consumption and its finally here! Can't wait!!! 😉😉😉 In all seriousness, this game never appealed to me in the past and the well documented history of bugs, content drouts and general incompleteness of the game were why. But for the first time ever, it seems like it may check all the boxes for me. I am a dad who only gets to play an hour or two late at night so i really am primarily a solo player. I'm not looking for a bunch of coordinated raid content or guild scheduling. Many people tell me "why don't you just play single player games then" but anyone who's played an MMO knows the vibe is just different. I love seeing other players online in a shared world, even if we're all just doing our own thing. And the size and scope of the world in this type of game is unmatched. Even a game like Elden Ring can't compete with the volume of activity in this kind of game. So i am very excited about AGS seeming new focus on solo player viability, in an MMO world. I really hope this game can scratch the itch because I've been unable to find the right game to check all the boxes for me for a while now. Here's hoping to a successful relaunch 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@beepbooploot]

Hope you’re enjoying the game now that it’s fully released :) the limited time to play but still wanting an MMO feel really resonates with me. I think NW is a great option for that. World of Warcraft is also in a pretty decent spot for that now too just as an alternative!

[@Crash312]

I had an absolute blast playing this when it first came out. The PVE got pretty stale for me and I ended up dropping off. I feel like games like this and OnceHuman are so close to being what I am looking for as a mainly Tarkov player. I especially like the idea of the PVP zones but the target lock absolutely kills it for me. Sad they had to dumb it down for consoles...

[@lemmyrichards9477]

Once human is decent but the season refresh is going to need another look at.

[@nectros7157]

Season refresh is the reason I unistalled Once Human....I guess I don't have the time to play that game like I want

[@beepbooploot]

Totally fair take! Haven’t tried Once Human but tempted to try. The season refresh does make me wary though as I don’t have a ton of time to game!

[@beepbooploot]

[@Archys666]

This is a best MMO that I have played so far. A lot of people are writing negative comments, because this game is really good and they are sad to reach the end of the game. I mean most of them spent 1000+ hours on this game or a lot more. And of course after so much time it's becomes borring to play it. A specially if you have time to play a lot of hours per day. There are no game which has end game which not becomes borring after playing 1000+ hours. So regarding negative comments they are not because this game is bad, but it is sad for players to agree that they are reached a point there is theoritically end of game. Not the end-game, but END of game. But to reach this point for new players need a lot of hours. So it is worth to play for 100%. I spent for this game ~2000 hours and I will continue to play it, because it's fun, relaxing and has unlimited progression system which I like very much.

[@marknicastro7289]

Shut the hell up. Where the f have you been for the past three years. Is it normal to release the same exact game 3 times in just 3 years? Is it awesome when 1 million players leave and now there’s only 2k players? Nah this game is pure ass

[@bobbythorton7693]

plenty of mmos out there where people have played 20+ years. New world people got tired after year 1.... not even 5 months sounds more like it I love this game but it has major flaws, also the devs did not listen to the player base forever. I hope they change and start listening to them more so

[@syvanas]

Pc players are titled coz of the constant ignorance and lies of the devs regarding PTR feedback or general feedback or updates. You are right the game is fun as long as you don't have set goals. Sound and ambient is pristine. Game falls behind any 15+ years old MMO is when you want to play endgame be pve or pvp. PvE dungeons/raids mechanics are worse and dumber than Vanilla WoW dungeons. In pvp War is the endgame that was always only a small % being able to participate it. 0 update on pvp game modes, OPR same map for 3 years, server locked arenas. The upcoming zone will be an extraction zone camp fest and Devs ignore this fact so it'll be nothing that most expect from it. With console port movement was changed that made the game feel totally different than before and not in the good way, not to mention "tab targeting".

@@syvanas "0 update on pvp game modes" ? Really? What about PVP influence race? OPR cross server games? Arena cross server is coming also. new pvp zone is coming. You said "extraction zone camp"? yeah man, that's how to force PVP fights. Or do you want just to take the loot and go back home safe? It is now like that in open world where guys just running with PvP mode enabled and just not fighting when seeing PvP enabled man from another faction. It's possible to fight, but they don't want to, because whey just want to grab a loot safely. Everyone just complaining about new OPR map. But devs said, they don't think a map will change something, so they are trying to add different kind of pvp content like pvp zone or maybe something more later. Devs has own vision and need to respect it, Instead just thinking they must do what players want to bring from other games. They have right to build a game as they want. That's why New world has unique techniques. And development takes time, so need just to be patient. I agree it is sad what's happening with game updates this year. But let's be optimistic. :)

[@leonkennedy9739]

As a ranged nerd with over 1500 hours pvp player tab target might be the only way to make ranged fair. Its extremely hard to balance because the average player and the fps addicted bow user who snorts ground up arrows for breakfast need to be taken into consideration. Also aimbotting has been an on and off issue at times where later it was much less of a problem but for a couple months early on aim botting was a major issue. Also tab is how darksouls does ranged combat, with freelook aiming as an option, I think people will get over it.

[@beepbooploot]

Nice! I like this perspective. I hope it’s not a huge deal, certainly doesn’t bother me as a non PVPer :)

[@mrwillham5393]

The 1-60 experience of new world has always been a great time. i played at launch, i played fresh starts, i started alt accounts etc i have a lot of hours into new world and my main concern is that once were passed that honeymoon 1-60 again is the endgame just gunna be butt again or are they actually working on making it a gripping endgame with actual engagement and regular content updates? Big reason the playerbase imploded is that, and the long stretches of no content. And with them trying to advertise it as an action rpg, not an mmo has me concerned that they are even more so now going to try an not focus more on the pvp side of things. even with the whole pvp only area i feel like with that theyre trying to push all the pvp'ers into that area like hey you want to pvp you all go over here, an stay away from our precious pve'rs who want to cut their trees an merch the trading post (which no hate, i love doing all those pve things just makin a joke) it really makes me concerned. If i see that theyre adding new opr and arena maps with better rewards, as well as better open world pvp rewards id be excited for that, as well as making sure that the endgame dungeons give proper rewards and materials. with fresh regular content updates. Those are the things i need to see long term for what i think will make the game a solid mainstay in the space. as you said though only time will tell an we will see.

[@beepbooploot]

Totally agree with everything you’ve said! Hopefully there’s a solid plan in place for additional content to keep things fresh !

Yeah! Totally agree with you. Glad you’re enjoying and agree with you about all the things you’re liking. Thanks for watching :)

[@StealthBoyElite]

Concern #3. Can sort of understand that, if you've never played the whole game, but it takes fewer than 20 hours to get to level 30 and the very next region you enter on the MSQ (Brightwood) introduces a new enemy type (angry earth). You've also got the Varangians (humans), which weren't there at launch and trust me when I tell you that they're an entirely different type of enemy to fight (you'll see why, particularly at high levels). They're introduced in Everfall but the MSQ doesn't introduce you to them there, rather side quests do (and you can see them just before you get your Azoth Staff). By the time you're max level, you'll have seen lots of different varieties of enemy. One thing you maybe haven't noticed as well is that named enemies become more complex as you get higher levels and elite versions. A brute in Brightwood isn't nearly as complex as one in Shattered mountains. And that's not including the brand new regions Brimstone Sands and Elysian Wilds, two large territories that weren't there at launch. They double down on enemy variety and give tons of wild (literally) enemies to fight. The game is literally taking you through the story and introducing enemies as you go. For the average skip-addict, I guess this isn't obvious. Corrupted and lost (and beasts) are all you need to know about initially. And, honestly, the way they get more and more complex as you level up is one of this game's strengths. Limited enemy types was a criticism you could maybe have levelled at the game at launch but it's just not the case any more. I'd be a bit disappointed if I played a game for 20 hours and had seen every variety of enemy, if I'm honest with you, so whilst I can sort of see what you're saying here, I don't understand what you expect from a game's introduction if you think it should have more variety. Shouldn't that come as you progress?

[@Lotiondemhands]

well said do u recommend this as a first mmo for someone and is it good for solo play

[@StealthBoyElite]

@@Lotiondemhands it's perfect for solo play. And yes I recommend it if you've never played an mmo. You can reach the end game entirely solo.

I have 150+ hours in the OG New World and can’t say I noticed much of a difference in the feel of fighting different enemies across the regions but I will keep this in mind as I start fresh in Aeternum.

I’ve played ESO on and off since 2016 and that game has run its course with me personally. Just feels stale for me, and I have been searching for something to fill the void. I have been watching quite a few content creators videos, like your great video, and I gotta say I am super excited for October 15th. Sure it sounds like there has been some let down for those who have been in the community since launch, but three years is very VERY young for an MMO. They could very easily turn it around, and for a console player like myself, it’s just brand new for us. The game looks beautiful, and there has been quite a bit of positive feedback out there too. So so SO EXCITED!! Can’t wait to start a new chapter in gaming! Thank you for the video!

[@Raviis]

FIrst time watching a video of yours. Great stuff. Just want to agree that I love New World when I get the kick for it. Low player count is tough when you want to jump in to dungeons and such... but when you can find people to play with it's really fun! I have about the same hour count as you, but 95% of that was leveling. I took my time and explored and enjoyed the world, then the difficulty jump in Brimstone Sands just turned me off, I couldn't complete quests, had no idea how to gear, etc. Came back a little while later and it was even more dead, but managed to progress and really loved the update with Rise of the Angry Earth and mounts. Playing the open beta has vastly improved the starter experience. I wish I had started for the first time in October, and I recommend anyone on the fence pick the game up in October. No one can say for sure if the game stays good past lv30, but what they have shown with Aeternum is much improved. I just hope they commit to new content. The raid sounds fun, but 1 will get boring quick, and hopefully people stick around long enough for me to catch up to end game and play the raid lol.

[@beepbooploot]

Thanks so much! Totally agree the experience seems significantly improved. Hoping this carries onto level 30+ and obviously more end game support would be great.

I’m playing Throne and Liberty right now on PS5 and if the game state of New World Aeternum is the same as that, I’ll buy it. The guild stuff is really fun but honestly I’m mainly a solo player in most times unless the game forces me to group up and I heard this game is solo friendly. I tried to get into BDO and while the combat is super fun, sadly I’m too far behind to enjoy the good stuff and it’s very pay to win. If I ever do buy it, I’ll eventually drop one mmo once I maxed everything. Hopefully it’s this one because I’ve played enough tap target mmos and need something different.

[@beepbooploot]

Lots of upside with New World (at least I am hopeful). I think it’s going to be a pretty solo friendly game moving forward too so that’s nice based on what you’re looking for!

[@beepbooploot]

Sorry, to clarify, it’s more how much better/responsive the combat feels to me now. It was always very good which I think I mention in the vid. Good callout though!

[@Julez3133]

the pvp in newworld is some of the best pvp ive had in an mmo in damn, idek ever? i fucking loved the pvp in this game so much, im talking about when im doing my questing/harvest runs and i see an enemy i go fuck them up, its soooo fun doing that

[@beepbooploot]

I’m not a big PVP guy but totally see how this is great for PVP!

[@xshadowscreamx]

Should be able to synch quests with party members. The story is milk toast.

[@beepbooploot]

That’s a good call! Would be a nice addition for sure.

[@FeelMyBicepp]

But what if you have played for 3 years already and dont want to do the story? Love the pvp but no endgame content and terrible performance in large groups/towns is that a thing still?

[@bobbythorton7693]

they are suppose to be adding a new pvp mode balancing the pvp modes and 10 man raid. But ye who knows if they will push out end game content enough.

[@beepbooploot]

Uh, I didn’t notice any performance drops in town but maybe I was just lucky? If you don’t want to do the story and just focus on endgame stuff, I don’t think there’s enough info to say for certain whether you should buy. I think your best bet is to wait for the launch to see what others are saying about endgame!

[@RoyTT]

The main thing i dont like with the game is the npc levels. Played a lot of ESO where npcs and monsters scale to my level. Would love for something like this to be in New World

[@beepbooploot]

Interesting! Pros and cons to this for sure. I kinda like coming back to low level zones and feel overpowered but understand your point!

[@alexanderpolitis5399]

I'm tempted to return. When i was most invested in New World, i was having the time of my life, i've never had a progression and crafting system i've enjoyed so much in any game ever before and still haven't. But like many have already pointed out, the endgame grind and endgame content just got too tedious and boring for me. Secondly, i never fully felt like i found a place in the combat system. I wasn't invested enough in the combat/raid activites to run multiple gear sets, classes and weapons so i couldn't really switch effectively. I've gone through the crafting progression 3 times now and as much as i do want to give it another go, i'm not sure i have it in me to start fresh one more time.

[@beepbooploot]

That’s a fair concern. Totally agree that the crafting is awesome in NW. But also understandable if a fourth grind isn’t in the cards for you!

[@jeramienelson7816]

Final fantasy online did the exact same thing. It re released as Final fantasy reborn and it’s been amazing since

[@beepbooploot]

It would be great to see New World turn it around in the same way!

[@spcbrass]

I wasn’t sold until I pushed through the campaign in Brightwood. That’s where the game finally seemed to let go of the training wheels a bit and you had to engage more intelligently with the combat. Those first few zones do drag on a bit and the game feels like a Ubisoft title with all of the quest icons and fetch quests. This is my biggest concern that it copies too many things and doesn’t do anything original. My only choice now is to fork o we the $80 Canadian to play at release or wait until the price comes down a bit.

[@beepbooploot]

Nice! Yeah, I’m pumped to get back into the full levelling experience now that it’s been revamped.

Amazing haha. I think it should be a great MMO to play with friends/loved ones. Especially the initial levelling days!

[@davep5788]

I'll play up to character cap (60 probably, something will have to grab me for me to get the expansion and level 65) then play something else.

[@beepbooploot]

That’s a good idea. Everything after cap is gravy!

[@theblackishboy1105]

People should probably just look at the game like a rpg you can play with randoes that gets updated over the years and i think people would be fine with it, thats probably what ags was trying to convey with the rebrand

[@beepbooploot]

agreed! I think that’s the perfect way to approach it :)

[@d2titansareweak]

the only issue that I've really had is that there are no npc traders.

[@MultiRoyds]

Do the dungeons/raids offer matchmaking?

[@mikefisc9989]

This is an important question. It may be the reason I don't buy the game. Most of my friends are playing other games.

[@beepbooploot]

I am not sure about raids at this point. Dungeons do though and the queuing was pretty quick during the beta! It’s also cross world so you don’t have to rely on only people in your realm :)

[@setitfree78]

Yes, they do. There was a time in the beginning they didn't and it was awful.... but now it's insanely easy with matchmaking.

Good advice. It really is a 100-200 hour game then dump. Sad in one respect, but helpful to not get your hopes up. Really wish endgame was something sustainable without time gated activities.

[@beepbooploot]

Hey, thanks! Yes, I hope that was clear from the vid as my main point. It probably won’t last forever but fun while it does :) thanks for watching!

[@MarkoBotsaris]

I played at launch, and I really liked a whole lot of the game. I’ve been playing MMOs for close to 25 years now, and there were a lot of new ideas in this one. Most good, but a few inherently unstable core ideas that ruined the game play for me. I was not a fan of the constant factional pvp. Mea Culpa. I’m more of a 12 man raid type of guy. Still I figured I could just opt out. Maybe become the guy who gets rich selling weapons and stuff to the maniacs. LOL. I realize that experience showed that different servers got very different results as far as the factional balance. But after about 100 hours I found myself getting angrier and angrier that the result of the constant factional fighting about %85 of the time on my server there where no high level crafting stations available - not just within my chosen town and faction, but IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I wanted to do some crafting and found their systems very interesting, but I couldn’t because I’m on a server where all my contributions to a town are getting destroyed constantly. So all this potential, but one aspect of the game was just a cancer on another aspect of the game. So I quit and will never play a game like that again. It amounts to having very little freedom to decide how you will enjoy the game, so no wonder they have such trouble keeping players. Charitably, it’s just not for people like me who don’t want to spend most of their time running around ganking each other, and each other’s expensively developed community assets in varied sizes of cooperating groups. And that’s fine. Every game does not have to be for everyone. But the game will not work for anyone if a large enough subset get pissed off and leave.

[@beepbooploot]

Interesting and fair perspective! I’m curious to see how this is addressed (or not) with Aeternum now out.

[@pureplay7071]

I got the base game in the summer sale and spent all day trying to get in the game. Opened the right ports, allowed it through the firewall, must have did 20 suggested fixes and I just gave up and refunded the game.

[@beepbooploot]

This was always a thorn in my side with the PC game but the console version has had zero issues logging in. Understand if you’ve been burned though and don’t want to try again!

My question is, why after leveling to 65 and spending time and money on gear, would I want to start all over again? I played the beta and hated to have to grind again to get skill, weapon, territory, and xp up again.

That’s fair. I find that grind relaxing but understand if it’s not something others are into!

[@sogomn]

Grinded New World on release to max level and realized the end game has nothing to do with the rest of the game until that point. That made all the progress done feel completely worthless. Not sure if that has changed now.

[@beepbooploot]

I would say you have to assume that once you hit endgame you’re done. If that sounds bad I would skip. That’s not to say endgame might not be great, I just think it’s better to assume it will be nonexistent.

[@DefiantWun]

I’m pushing 10k hours on this game, and I have to say, I’ve had more than my fair share of disappointments. But I also have to say; there is no other game like it. I went on hiatus for a few months after the “June” announcement. I came back a few weeks ago, and I must say; IM EXCITED FOR AETERNUM. I’m hoping that the “lock on” feature is strictly for PvE content; it will not fly in PvP. And IT alone will kill PvP in the game. Fingers crossed, and great content my friend.

[@beepbooploot]

It is definitely unique and special, totally agree. Awesome to hear you’re pumped for Aeternum too! Thanks for watching :)

[@CalebJK316]

Been playing NW since release with over 3000 hours, and for me I love the end-game, but stopped playing before the group trials came out and never got to experience them. Now there's a full raid coming out (as it has shown on nwdb) and I feel so far behind because I can't find people to run these group trials with to even get raid-like experience. The player-base has such a huge PVP scene that when Wars and OPR get too repetitive they leave the game, thus leaving the PVE behind with it. The rapier is one of the hardest weapons to consistently hit with against another player, the lock-on changes make the rapier absolutely busted in PVP. There's clips of people pvp'ing in the beta while blindfolded, and winning just based on the sounds queues. The lock on feature has completely eliminated a core mechanic of the game.

[@beepbooploot]

This is interesting context! The rapier affect seems wild!! Hopefully this gets addressed in some way. I saw that AGS did acknowledge they were aware of the community complaints but well what that means!

[@SFMikeN7]

But how easy is it to strafe or dodge the range lock on??

[@beepbooploot]

I haven’t tested this enough to be honest. I’m not a big PVP guy. But great question!

[@SFMikeN7]

@@beepbooploot yeah I’m very interested to see how that plays out. I feel like they introduced that for console players. So as long as it’s not a 100% chance to hit I’m okay with it.

[@doctheop3034]

Great video and I concur; I’ve played 3 betas (closed and open) for PC and now the closed and open betas for PS. I have to say, the new introductory experience is head and shoulders over what it used to be. I am confused by the lack of clear messaging though on the game purchase itself. I was under the impression that NW:A was just the console port and OG NW was on PC but there’d still be cross-play / progression happening for both? If I am wrong, I wont be (re)buying what is essentially an updated version of the same game just 3 years after the original, a game in which I had lots of Amazon Prime Loot drops collected. I spent like $70 bucks of the higher tier edition. But that’s all just a waste now?

[@beepbooploot]

Thanks! So it is the console port but PC will also be getting this same update so there will be parity everywhere. No cross progression but there will be cross play on some servers! So if you are invested in your PC account, you can stick with that and still play Aeternum on PC!

As someone with over 1000hrs in oh new world all I got to say is that at least from what I seen, they have not addressed the glaring issue of lack of endgame stuff to do…dungeon wise it just looks the same…pvp is fun but you got the same ppl running it…the major companies are filled with a-holes and it’s not worth it. If invasions are still a thing I fail to see how they will be sustainable seeing as companies don’t give two shts about it and there is no longer and incentive to do them…if they add more variety of enemies like those vampires that were hunted at though might be enough to make me consider coming back…just so I can assert my dominance on invasions with minimum effort…top 10 on leaderboards without trying is depressing…

[@beepbooploot]

Endgame is definitely a question mark. We shall see!

[@carlojohnplatero2199]

just dropping this here cos they kinda framed the whole beta to feel like you'll be entirely fine going solo. Although you're not forced to pvp, endgame really requires multiplayer.. the endgame zones will really hurt if you don't go in with a group, some of the open world bosses with the sought after gear require some grouping, dungeons/expeditions you can't even enter them unless you join a group, the 10 man raid and worm raid is another group only thing, even the event world bosses are things you can't beat by yourself.

[@Oryyyt]

i think they mean solo as a one and done singleplayer rpg experience not participating in endgame or mp components.
