One of the most hyped modern MMOs in recent history that hit huge peaks in player count before bottoming out like nothing we've seen before. New World is a game I've made fun of a lot for how bad the release of it went relative to expectations, but in 2024, over 2 years later, is it still as bare bones as it was? How about with the new Rise of the Angry Earth expansion? And is Amazon Games just going to drop New World completed when their next MMO comes out? Wow so many questions.
I played a TON of new world over the past week to find out what works, what doesn't, and if this game has a future that's worth investing in.

Masterpiece? ROFLMMFAO...GTFO here with this bullshit. This might be a masterpiece to someone that never played a single MMORPG ever and only played survival games like ARK and Conan Exiles but an MMO? Not a fucking chance. It isnt even average for anything other than graphics. All gameplay is weak as fuck especially the combat...and crafting? and dont get me fucking started on that nightmare. This games crafting system would make a South Korean MMO developer have grinding nightmares. The world is tiny, the story is light, the amount of things to do is few as long as you avoid the crafting like the plague it is and the game is over-run with bots the developers are doing nothing to stop. Literally reported the same 7 people every single fucking day for 17 straight days. Same fucking people were still botting the exact same areas when I came back after walking away for a month. Fucking Funcom makes better MMORPGs than this shit game.

[@ClickToPreview]

I play different builds here and there but seem to burnout before I even hit level 20. Still, love the first 16 or 17 levels. Lots of fun. I do the same thing with Skyrim. I burn out right around the time I prove to Delphine that I am, in fact, Dragonborn... Then I tend to quit and make a new character weeks later, rinse and repeat. There's so much I miss of these games because of it, but I just get burnt out. I think the need for novelty is what does it.

[@urud591]

Talking about grandma, you reminded me an old quest in Aion where you had to escort a very old woman walking hunchbacked, with a cane. She wanted to be escorted to a close lake where she could finally die. You could even see the lake very close to you, from the starting point, but this woman walked so slow that it took a lot... You could stay still for 1 minute and walk 3 steps to catch up. And if you moved a bit ahead to kill a bandit, she disappeared and went directly to the starting point. What a great quest. There were no kids at least.

[@ZMACxx]

While I do appreciate and agree with most of your analysis, I think you got it wrong with lack of regional variety. If you stopped at level 40, you never experienced Great Cleave (snowy mountains), Edengrove (mystic forest), Brimstone (Roman desert), or Elysian Wilds (fantasy jungle). The intro to the game feels very cozy as do most MMO starting areas. But the regions expand and get better as the game progresses 😊

If you have to grind at least 30 hours, and don't see any change in any of the landscape (except the sky changing color or fall leaves) or the monsters you are grinding, then there is something wrong. I am so bored of turkey and boar and wolves oh my! (with the occasional rabbit). Right now my character is sitting at level 40 (and I too am around 35 hours on her), and I just can't move her forward due to well, just everything being the same. I really enjoyed the mount races. Wish they had more of those.

[@ZMACxx]

@@hawklight21 there are more mount races as you level. And you really don’t need to put that much time into the game to see the variety of regions.

I feel like that problem with crafting being outpaced by pve content could be solved by a system similar to what is done in monster hunter where pve earns you resources to craft weapons but not the weapons themselves

[@PhenomRom]

Agree

[@Kenionatus]

Albion Online does that.

[@enkript]

in New World you can and a lot of times you must craft your equipment to get the wanted perks on it, also crafting in end game is a good source for making a decent income :)

At end game gathering & crafting is a great way to make gold as well as make best in slot gear and lock in exactly what you want for your dream piece. At the same time drops are a great way to get some bis gear and a lot of drops can be customised to your liking. They strike a good balance here. NW has come a long way, but still needs more engaging content end game (new PvP maps & modes, 20 person dungeons etc). Expansion was nice, but as you rightly said lacked content.

[@SirDubleton]

You reach end game and then realize how empty the game is... I feel so sad wasting 400 hours in this game.

I played the game on release with friends, we all went in blind and had an amazing time. Their PVE Dungeons were actually challenging with appropriately leveled and not over-geared characters, each boss being fairly unique with a variety of mechanics that couldn't be ignored. I wish they would push harder into the PVE strengths. Adding 10-man "dungeons" (raids) which have multiple bosses and require coordination and to overcome each challenge would be a great boon to the game.

[@franksunseri2060]

The $30 was for more than just mounts. You had a whole new area added to the map that is actually beautiful. You had the additions of Gear Score going up to 700 and Artifacts. Not to mention. New Dungeons and mob types. For a non-sub based MMO, It actually felt great. If they can work on OPR and Arenas more, this game would feel a lot more complete

[@serensoriano6890]

I played NW when it came out and sunk about 400 hours into it. It definitely needed work back then and I'm glad it's in a better position now. However, I was a major crafter and gatherer player. I loved spending hours just gathering materials and crafting tons of stuff. But when I got to later and later items, it got very hard to want to be a crafter. I didn't mind having to go to more difficult areas to get high level ingredients, but I did mind how I'd have to spend tens of hours just getting lower level ingredients just to use them in higher level recipes. Thousands upon thousands of wood, metal, stone, etc. just to make a handful of swords or bullets or potions. The crafting system was genuinely cool, but gathering was a pain in the ass. Right now I check in on NW every now and then in hopes the gathering system, at the least, has been overhauled to make the grind easier. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon.

[@VeNoMz_]

22:00 monetization is the worst part 4 me in NW, it goes hand in hand with the lack of pve content and completionism content being non existent. Grinding tmogs is borderline useless because you can't use it (2,50$ per token and white/black dye paywalled in store too), mounts basically only standard and cool ones from store (even regular white/black horse is paywalled) and the achievement system is bad with horrible grindy repetitive tasks and only rewards you with titles. 23:25 it's because the 1-25 leveling experience was completely redone by hiring other companies to do it for them, after level 25 AGS did it themselves by only changing the MSQ slightly and change almost nothing about the world, that's why you see so much copy pasted stuff.

[@OrdinarySense]

It's kind of weird with crating because I somewhat agree... however you just didn't get deep enough. Which imo is the issue with most mmo crafting systems. Crafting is actually insanely good the entire way through to even end game. You can craft all bis eventually for every level bracket/build. The problem you ran into is in my opinion unsolved in any MMO I have ever seen. In the early game the rate at which you level crafting and can then make really good gear is a few hours max. So if you were running around questing and gathering for a while before getting into crafting, it feels like it's almost no time at all. The flaw in pretty much any system like this is in trying to match the time investment for equavialent gear from questing/bosses. In that, every single game fails. The amount of hours and gathering/resources required for lvl 50 is doubled for lvl 100 and 10x for level 200 and multiplied again for 250 in any crafting skill. Now while for people willing to put in hundreds or thousands of hours this gives something to do and progress for at least 500 hundred hours... 2 or 3x that if you are gathering everything yourself... and multiply that again if you are a casual who doesn't consume content that provides tips and knowledge that will save literally hundreds of hours... the time investment is astronomically huge for them. And this even after the system was made much easier and faster... at launch it was truly insane. So what I am rambling about is the fact that the crafting is truly amazing if you play the game for 1000+ hours, and the best I have ever personally seen if you max everything out... 99% of the playerbase won't get there. The steam achievements tell the real story... lots of people get to lvl 50 skills.. some to lvl 100... very few to 200 and almost none to 250... letalone doing that for EVERY single skill. It seems impossible to balance crafting for trade, providing an alternative for BIS Pvm and for BIS pvp... I really wish games would stop trying. The solution (from a dummy who knows nothing about game design) seems pretty simple. Make crafting for yourself really accessible. Make long term crafting for sale viable by making the best gear in the game crafted by player... HOWEVER, the crafting materials for those should only be obtained through the hardest content in the game. OSRS does this pretty decent for a game that has hard locked smiting to lvl 40 defense armor by requiring high ish crafting level to dismantle high level pvm gear and infuse it into other higher level pvm drops that then create BIS items. I personally believe stuff like Torva and the void walker is the true evolution/marriage of how gearing and crafting should work. Reward those who train the skill to max by requiring them to turn the rarest drops in the game into the best armor and weapons. Twisted bow, sythe, shadow... should all drop like the cerb crystals or Kodai... requiring other items and creating an item sink/value for lower level weapons and crafting levels. The elven stuff should only be obtainable if you have the levels to make it yourself... thats the ultimate imo. I say this as a maxed main and mid level iron account in OSRS. I am fine having to wait and grind out levels on my Ironman because I chose that. You should need 80, then 85, 90, 95, 99 to get all the best stuff if you can't trade. No idea why I kept typing this all out, but I might as well post it now since I wasted my time 😂 Have a good day one guy who read this 😅

[@ButWhyWasTaken]

8:40 But without fast travel you are not able to truly appreciate the environments. That's because without fast travel heavily cutting down on travel time travel consumes so much time, becomes so mundane, monotone and boring that you just started to hate the environments or at least stop giving a damn about them. If you are not forced to spend far more time than comfortable in each environment just getting from A to B to C you can truly appreciate the environments because you are not sick of them, you can always see something new or even if not new something you have't seen in a while and that you like to look at for a bit longer. You can always make a detour if you want in a game where fast travel is has map good coverage and is free or cheap but but you cannot magically speed up travel and get away from the boring part of the faster...unless you pay a substantial amount of money as this is just a way to make money in games with bad fast travel map coverage. Walking everywhere is only fun early on, if you played for half a year, let alone several years then you do not want to see the same scenery for literally the hundreths time but just get on with the quests / arrive at the town or dungeon.

I would recommend flagging pvp your entire level up process. Most people higher level won't mess with you outside of races. If someone is a bully you can turn it off to get a main story item done but the bonus xp to level up faster is worth.

[@katsuye249]

You’ve reviewed content most of the players did for a week or 2 back in 2021 and never cared about or looked back since. A lot of the content is after you’ve past leveling, including your weapons. It is an odd end game with people having different taste. I personally enjoy playing with friends in a mode called OPR, similar to WoW’s battlegrounds, which you can’t do until you are 60+. The combat system, variety and diversity of builds (similar to classes but better imo), unique talents of other players, silly encounters, challenging pvp scenarios, etc is the content I and many others enjoy. Same with war modes. Some others also enjoy the dungeons, which I find to be better than other mmos I’ve done. But pvp is my speed. To others looking to figure out if NW is for you, I suggest watching someone that actually plays the game.

This is the first time I've started and MMORPG in years and haven't been bored to tears after 10-30 hours of game time. Most of them out there just aren't fun to level, the world seems empty or poor designed, quests are boring, etc. Even worse, some constantly bombard you to get more money from you. WoW, Rift, Eve Online, and The Old Republic were the main MMORPGs I played for long periods at some point over the past 20 years.

firstly, amazing video, never seen you before and will definitely be watching more. However, I have some extra points to add 1. The world difference gets a lot better closer to endgame with brimstone, ebonscale, and the new zone. Enemy difference is still lacking in some of those areas. 2. Expansions biggest thing is the item system with artifacts (destiny exotics if youve played that) along with increase to gearscore 3. Crafting your own BiS is very possible once at endgame but it sucks that crafting doesnt scale with you while leveling 4. PvP back in the alpha used to be scaled, so level 34 you could compete against max levels. Streamers complained that they werent stronger and got beat a lot so AGS reduced scaling 5. Arena is matched with levels, so its not that nobody is play, its that nobody your level is playing. There are level brackets but i cant remember them 6. Overall world and questing gets better in their expansion zones like brimstone and the elysian wilds, they have improved the launch zones a lot from the beginning but still not enough to make them feel different 7. The newer/endgame zones become actually challenging, whether thats solo questing or the max level dungeons. The game definitely becomes a slog fest after 45 but once you get up to playing in the newer zones at around 55+ the quests become interesting, dungeon XP is higher, and with the new queuing mechanic you will be able to run these dungeons fast.

good stuff, I actually just started playing. I’m about level 15 I think? I really want to love this game, I’m so in love with the sound effects alone and some of the environment, I kind of like the combat? It’s OK? I’ve just been playing guild wars 2 for a while so there’s like 1 billion more buttons to push in that. This game is more like a 3-D Albion online, but with even less skills to choose from.

I recently came back to new world after 530 hours played on vanilla and can say they have changed a lot for the better even though originally I still think the earliest leveling is by far the best experience I’ve had in an MMO… however once reaching end game I burnt out quickly focusing on min maxing anything and everything, so I switched to monster hunter :)

[@Jeroen734]

I got just shy of 300 hours into new world back when it released. It was all about the mass low level zergs everywhere in open world pvp. Had lots of fun but as you stated. It stays the same even at higher levels. Eventually the company i was with started to quit and i followed suit. I do have fond memories of the initial 4 ish months where i was active but I dont see myself returning to Aeternum anytime soon.

You would think with a 30gb patch every week for 2 years it would be fixed by now.

[@billlam7756]

Atleast the devs stay in touch and communicate with the community pretty often. Look at blizzard or any other Korean mmo, they would hide or only come out when shit go down

[@Mini_Hayley]

The patch is never 30gb, you got something wrong with your pc and it’s validating the whole games files after each update.

Rise of the angry earth wasn’t the first expansion, it was like the third one, the first two were free. And there’s no monthly fee to pay that game. I see zero issues with how they released that. And it added way more than mounts and an area, it expanded the max gearscore to 700 from 625, a new dungeon, new artifacts, beast hoardes, new world bosses, essentially hundreds to thousands of hours of stuff to do… for $40. That’s a heck of a deal.

I fully expected this to just be an entire video shit talking New World. But it was surprisingly honest and showed off a lot of great features that the game has to offer. Legitimate criticisms and reasonable takes with actual cause to take issue with what was wrong felt so good to hear. I still don't think waffles are a C-tier breakfast food, but other than that, good.
