[@petemisc4291]

There seems to be a disconnect between how the game works and how the devs believe it works lol

[@Fargusas14]

devs answers "we like how it works"

[@TamToucan]

Yep....most tables are 100000 not 10000. So luck is actually 1 tenth of the effect they think smh

[@dokanyon]

Haven't watched the video yet, but i guess by your comment that they are out of touch. I have a small "conspiracy theory" about what's happening. I'm not saying it's true, im just saying it's a small possibillity. If you have seen what happens in Discord, in their PVP feedback section you will notice that it's a 24/7 toxic spam and most of the time against the devs. If i were them I would just want NW to die and move to another project.Remember that they won't lose their jobs. They will move to something with probably a better envrironment and with new fanbase. Like the upcoming mmos by AGS. I repeat i'm not saying it's true, but It's just a small possibility.

[@LuciFury]

@@dokanyon ahh yes! The Ole "it's all the PvP players fault" . But never the fault of the AAA Game Studio that released a year earlier then they should have and let game breaking issues persist for months at a time... Riiiiiiight

[@petemisc4291]

@@dokanyon well, not sure they want the game to die but these Q&A sessions should be canceled, you can’t produce a good game listening to the gamers (unless it’s bugs or imbalances), you need a plan and stick to it. As far as PvP players go, that is the last group I would listen to, they are toxic by nature, although the errors on some of the equipment has been AGS’s fault and constant rebalancing is a sign of incompetence

[@KebneKaizeR]

Like every MMO you will come to a point where you are just "done" with the grind. That is how I feel right now for season 3. Me and many of my friends are now taking a 2-3 week break til season 4 comes out. Sometimes it's good to step away for a little bit and feel refreshed when new content comes.

[@buddha2977]

well that sucks s4 is just as dry as s3 right now tbh.

[@darrelllopes5013]

I worst part of this q&a was the comment that was basiclly talking aboutnwnd game activates after gearing himself out , and the answer was ecr and fishing and decorations to your house, like whatttt???????

[@mikemike6182]

my other suggestion is to make chromatic seal tradeable, because crafter can gamble gear again, casual can buy cheap gear, casual can do daily mats & price go up again (instead of crafting at loss)

[@larkwyll7351]

True. Their design while smart for server stability counters their 3-way faction design. Creating a race conflict experience that only caters to two factions over time will push the least populated faction to merge into one of the other colors and create two faction servers. At some point thr devs should consider removing factions all together and making the game company vs company. The faction element of the game is poorly supported.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

inductor is screwing up seal crafting badly, nobody would buy them and craft with them even if they were tradeable which means they will loose value and sold like 5.5k or something. Their entire crafting system is flawed, i told them to increase amount of charms needed for inductor crafting, it should be 10x like scarab only then seals would gain some value..

[@thetinmanify]

These guys need a sofa and some coffee, these q&a's should be way more casual. It feels like all three of them are preparing for the firing squad. Also who needs ranked pvp, 20 man expeditions, new pvp modes and new opr maps when you can just fish as the endgame! I wish someone told me sooner!

[@NeonLine]

also funny how they consider OPR the "most popular" pvp mode when it's just the one with best rewards, compared to open world pvp and arena 🤦‍♂

[@thehappypumpkin5431]

​@@NeonLineHAHA TRUE

[@JustinSmith1287]

When they talked about the gold disparity between casuals and elites being less... my though is, well of course. I'm a casual and I'm just not spending any gold at all. What I want is too expensive and I don't see value in buying the smaller things. Meanwhile, those players that are rich are going to blow it all on the new expensive items. So of course the ratio is smaller... we're all broke! lol

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Elites are having their best, before expansion bis was going for 200k-300k and there were farms paying 20-30k Now bis is going for 40-50k and the best farm outhere pays 5k because entire economy is collapsed so you were farming 10 hours to buy bis and you are still farming 10 hours to buy bis. While a whale could buy 300k gold and get 6 bis intead of one, yay!!..

[@simoneetti5555]

It gets lower because gold is cheaper on external sites and people buy like 100k for 30 euro lol what a shit game

[@GP-ur6if]

I gave up worrying about luck way way back now, I don't play enough to care about what it does, how it works, etc... because it has never seemed to matter much or seemed to work as described. Just gave up and been far happier in NW ever since.

[@DustPur]

There are some things I really hope for. 1. Pvp matchmaking with roles! Sometimes I play with 30 bows and 9 FS in opr. 2. A new mode in pvp like ctf or at least 1 or 2 new maps for opr. 3. A PvE arena or something like that.

[@richiesantinello8107]

2 years of opr... need a new mode

[@Matosboy]

Lock Roles in OPR !

[@scalorize7096]

With regards to chromatic seals and azoth inductors. They're basically saying they released new content with an "early access" for those that have money to spend on it. Why are game developers finding every opportunity possible to get more committed players to pay with their time/gold/money whilst telling everyone else "just wait 4 months and you'll be able to play the game as well". Even as a spender myself, I spent 200k+ gold on my gear set just to have it unusable a week later.

[@DerrekU2ber]

They must think we all forgot about when they tried to nuke chest runs by making the mobs scale off of amount of players present. Now they quote it as playable content 😂

[@Kupoinfo]

Not to mention they've laced like a million snipers, made bosses face the chests, increased leashing to where you can never drop sniper aggro, and altered terrain to prevent people from solo ECR.

[@vasquezv244]

[@DerrekU2ber]

@@vasquezv244 I don’t dislike them. My point here is that it is a completely player-driven occurrence which the devs initially resisted. Now it feels like they’re patting themselves on the back for it.

28:56 - what you described in your experience is exactly what he said. Two largely represented factions fighting.. you come in with your few players as a third faction, you’ll get teleported. Allows the two that are heavily competing and actually in the running to stay and fight.

[@wesleydebaeck2975]

After 2 years that same team is still acting like complete amateurs. The only reason why they release something with the Quality they do is that they have a dozen of managers and leads and only 1 person doing the actual work. What i learned from the expac and the communication that followed, this game will never reach what Amazon claims it is. There is a fundamental problem inside ags itself. I recognize too many issues i've seen in my own professional carreer and these guys have a product that isn't nearly as complex.

[@KatanaKamisama]

Going slow and getting it right, has 2 prerequisites. 1: Your content has to keep people engaged between updates. This would normally be High skill raids, or more variety in PvP modes and maps which has been something the players have been asking for since release. 2: Your updates have to actually be "done right". And honestly with the notable exception of Brimstone, most of the content has been ridden with problems. @10:50 respectfully... the whole game is an opt-in situation. The problem is your game design sucks, and this gold sync is keeping the population poor. IF it wasn't time gated, you could then consider it optional, because anytime you had the money you could do the thing. But the time gate means if you don't buy, you ARE missing out. Because if you get a piece you want to upgrade but lack the seals, you have to wait THREE DAYS to upgrade that piece. With the current kiln cost of upgrading a named item, players are having to spend ~22k OR MORE PER item upgraded. IF the named items rolled a 3rd perk more frequently farming open world might be a viable alternative. But they do not. MAYBE 1/20 or so roll legendary but getting a 3rd perk that makes sense, AT good gearscore, AT random... requires gratuitous farming. If they ALL dropped orange, and the player only had to fish for perk and gearscore it would STILL be a chore. As it stands it's untenable. Crafting a 700 item with a scarab requires a chromatic seal. This means you're capping the number of items players can roll to 1/day (that they can afford a seal). Realistically refining cooldowns is already a time gate, and you shouldn't need another one. BECAUSE you removed the vast majority of named loot as viable gear with the update, there are VERY limited options for getting specific perk combinations. Crafting, and Upgrading a Named item BOTH require seals or an Inductor. The ONLY other way to generate 700 gear with any measurable consistency is to spam run M3's, which most players aren't able to do. And even if they were, that gear is ALL random minus the weight and attribute bias. @12:00 It's not your obligation to prevent wealth disparity. It's your obligation to make a good game. In-game wealth, JSUT like real world wealth is a product of choices and lifestyle. Players with HIGH wealth, EARNED that wealth. Preventing them from leveraging it, is punishing them for playing your game. That is possibly the stupidest thing you can do as a game developer. A player that plays your game for 8 hours SHOULD have more power in the economy than someone who only plays for an hour a day. If there's no incentive to play the game, WHY would they play the game? Also the whole idea that a gold sync HELPS the casual player is utter BULLSHIT. Some of the wealthiest players in the game are in top tier War companies that own multiple territories on multiple worlds via use of alts. They can then pool that gold to buy whatever they want. So the rich can easily afford a paltry 55k/ week. But the casual player is breaking the bank daily to get their seal. Realistically the rich will benefit MORE from the current system, because they can ensure they never miss a purchase. But if a casual player misses a login day or doesn't earn enough for the seal the next day, they fall further behind. Your logic is flawed. Good DAY Sir.

[@Scrags-Gudale]

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

They are just a bunch of morons to be honest, there are ALWAYS whales in MMOs buying their way into bis gear. Even if there is no crafting at all only drops they are still buying raid drops and runs! They have some fantasy about stopping gold sales which is only possible if nobody plays their game and we are going to that way really. Right now you can craft any bis gear around 40-50k which is significantly cheaper than before but people are always forgetting where exactly we will get that 40-50k from!! There were farms paying 20-30k a hour only few months ago but now at best you can get 5k a hour because entire crafting economy is collapsed and nothing is worth a penny. People could earn several k from daily crafting alone while now you are lucky if you earn few hundred and not actually loose gold. They completely annihilated player driven economy and for somebody who doesn't buy gold nothing is changed. While bis was ''expensive'' you could still buy it with 10 hours farming while now bis is ''cheap'' and it still requires 10 hours of farming!! The absolute morons in AGS somehow don't realize it perhaps because they never play their own game. Bis is not cheaper for who play the game, rather bis is cheaper for who is buying gold and gold sales accordingly gold value higher than ever. Lets call a spade a spade, AGS doesn't have any capacity to develop a game therefore New world will be always same struggling game until it is called off by amazon...

[@Der_Wolvenfang]

Perfectly put. Upvote.

[@Manc268]

Data on paper & playing the game are very different tho, the in game rewards do not even scratch the surface of the expansion costs.. how was this not seen on paper ? Imo, just add coin sacks to the chests & lower costs from faction vendors. Raise rewards for lower level faction & town boards.. these should reward a player at their level once main story is completed. Currently some are less than 5gold :/ and only useful for town rank. Trophy costs are also too extreme & seem to have been forgotten with the new gear rush. I still dont have 3 ulti's, never mind 3 of each..

[@kwoowoo828]

Some of the things they implemented are mind boggling. Other MMOs has since removed such 'punitive' idiotic implement from their games century ago and yet for New World as a new game, they implement the mistake that other MMOs has learnt their lesson and discarded. For example, implementing a mount-up time. What is that for? For example, not being able to craft from your storage that is not local to the crafting town. Player will STILL craft where they want to craft, they just has to do the tedious step to move their stuffs to local storage or inventory. Player STILL ACHIEVE what they want to achieve but have to be 'punished' to do more steps. Again what is the real objective and purpose of such design that they are trying to achieve? You still cannot stop player from crafting where they want to craft, so what are they trying to achieve? To PUNISH the player?

[@dv487]

I’m a hardcore PvP player, but I also do love group pve and solo pve content, you know why ? Cause after being a PvP addict for more than 12 years, PvP is always one thing people complain like if there are 300 other ways of doing PvP in other games, PvP is always ego-gear-hardcore griding there’s isn’t much more guys. Accept it at least nw you don’t need a full party to play the top gvg contents you can be a random playing solo in the middle of 300 players I’ve skipped many games and NW is a gem in construction after a massive fail, the gold issue is positive because every mmo gold was easy farmed they died quick, things that are harder keeps players for longer otherwise it all get boring, but players always complain about something, these QA with devs tbh are only bad for them because if people can’t understand things in the practice imagine from words.

Just make specifically the artifacts attribute a selectable in the item action menu where the salvage/lock/equip are and not “magnify”. They can still keep magnify as an easy alternative for other pieces but using the artifacts doesn’t make your attribute split less optimal when supposedly we are using these “BiS” artifacts. Please please do something with the artifacts magnify if they will not change magnify as a whole 🤯🤯

[@XxrollforeverxX]

Where can we make suggestions for these things? I would like to know why we can’t have the same issue with magnify so it keeps them happy with only being able to use a few magnify items, or even limit the amount of magnify gear to only allow to have 3 or 4or what ever number they like equipped as a hard limiter. Then they could have it so once you go in and lock your stats in the way you would like To have them distributed it’s locked and other temporary buffs don’t count as points used so that the magnify gear doesn’t flip flop all over the place

[@HuRrDuR]

Magnify is good for the game, If you have something as powerful as a artifact with 4 perks then your attributes losing one perk should be the trade off. This seems fine.

[@PurrBass]

[@Shade04rek]

I quit eso years ago, but I feel that if I went back I would be able to progress to a good spot faster that continuing with constantly shifting meta that wastes all my 700 gs crafts. What really hit me the last time I played though was that I had around 200k when the expansion came and I used easily 150k of it on things that are now outclassed by trash I just happen to have save. Now I'm back to ~35k and trying to sustain every day, which would be fine if I had something to show for it like a somewhat largely-finished build, like I had before. It's a total pain to still be so far away from progressing, specially after the expansion's inherent reset of progress. Maybe make it way less of a waste while they all figure their balance out? It's ironic though, the only fun I honestly see myself having if I go back is just playing nw like an economics sim and not spend gold on actual gear nor play the actual content.

[@derteki2165]

Thanks Baggins. I'm playing since the Alpha and and i've a good amount of time in the game. All weapons 20, professions maxed out (except of fishing. I hate fishing ;)), 3 houses from back when they still cost money, twitch skins, etc etc you get my point. My biggest problem is: You've 3+ Options to Tank. You've 12+ Options to deal damage You've 2 semi optimal options to support and you've 1 (!!) Option to heal. Since ever. Guess what I play main. Back then Lifestaff had fun things like the Teleport Skill etc but today you either heal PvE or PvP over and over with the same skills. The PvP build is semi optimal in PvE and the basic AoE PvE build not really helpful in PvP. Not having an option to "Save a build" also means respeccing manually over and over again - which is annoying AF. Another point that made me laugh was the comment of AGS about Artefacts. If you want to finish 1 Artefact quest it will cost you a min. of 20.000 Gold. Having the goal to have them all is black hole for your bag of coins. Telling casual player to craft 700 GS items is kinda cynical. You need to have the profession maxed out, have 3 major trophies, a full set of clothing, buff food, town buff and luck. If you want to have certain perks you need crafting mods on top of that. People that play 10h a week will dream of that. There are many more issues atm and Ive no idea how to motivate myself to keep on playing....

[@iFINNIX]

I feel respeccing a tree wouldn’t be as bad if they let you unlock it instead of wiping it clean and having to reselect everything.

[@Dntbehasty]

My server i've 100% seen over the faction limit of syndicate. but they also outnumber the the marauders and cov put together. so every race every objective is all syndicate players to the point where the other factions cant really participate.

[@fyngolnoldor4891]

4:10 You have to get a "special named item" and then wait 3 days to buy chromatic seals, which also cost 15K gold. Which is manageable if you're a rich player who has been buying seals every day and using them judiciously to get the right combination of perks you KNOW is strong, but if you're a new player trying to make your way into New World as a fresh lvl 65 then you're pretty much fucked. God forbid you don't know what the strongest perks are on each type of item cause that upgrade will be a costly mistake. 7:00 As a PVE player forced to do PVP to get Serenity and a bunch of other artifacts, I can tell you I do NOT enjoy it at all. 3v3 Arenas make me rage and hate myself as much as I did playing FPSes as a kid (which is why I quit playing them). OPR is a messy clusterfuck. Races can be good when you get into a raid team whose leader knows wtf he's doing and you don't get teleported around too much. Fort capture parties have been the saving grace that stopped me from uninstalling the game a couple of times. 8:15 The problem is the balance between T52 and T51 resources. Right now the value of T52 is plummeting because there's a bottleneck with T51 (orichalcum ore is the worst). Aptitude boxes should give a mix of T51 and T52 instead of just T52. Also, we need more resource spots on the map for T51. 12:06 This is a moronic goal. If you DO play much more, it's NORMAL that you should have way more money. By making these gold sinks you are not punishing the rich players, who now can USE their wealth to craft BiS items, you are punishing the NEW and POOR players, who cannot afford 15K every time they want to upgrade a named item. Worse than that, the gold sinks are MASSIVELY REDUCING the quantity of gold in the game. As a a result, every resource except for T51 is massively dropping in price which means new players/players without money can't even farm their way to a good spot anymore. 26:48 Here's how luck works: when I go farm Lifering items, if I wear a lot of luck gear on me I'll get flooded with useless 625 named items.

[@kwoowoo828]

I seriously don't mind going fishing if I can fish out a 700 gs gear or artifact. But can I?

[@HadesConstantineNightingale]

They should limit faction numbers to 1/3 of max server population. So if the max pop is 6k, each faction, syndicate, covenant etc can only have 2k players. It would increase territory battles. And if players don't participate in a certain amount of faction events every season, they are removed until they wign back up.

[@Aodan]

Territory battles and the build up, needs to be completely redone. Only way I would come back to PvP.

[@greyaye8565]

25:20 you say that the difference is negligible...which is honestly empirically false. From the datamining: 1% luck adds 100 to the roll, max luck from gear and trophies is 46.7% luck, so that's 4670 added to your roll. Considering datamining found that a roll above 99500 (rolls are between 1k and 100k) was needed for a trophy mat, no luck your chances are 0.5%, but with full luck it's 5.17% chance. That's literally more than 10 times the chance of getting a trophy mat with full luck. If I'm wrong, or I've misconstrued the data, please let me know. :)

[@larkwyll7351]

"The gold sinks are currently meeting our expectations in making everyone equally poor." I've been banned recently from NW discord/reddit for even addressing the problem of how the game's economy currently relies too much on RMT to subsidize the flaws with in-game coin accrual. The mods/devs don't want to even discuss how baked in RMT is to the game's economy. They just want to put their head in the sand on the issue and ban players that acknowledge it as a topic that needs to be honestly addressed by the dev team (not banning gold sellers/buyers), but actually making the avg. player experience less reliant on 3rd party gold buying to circumvent the issues New World's economy has currently in the expansion with how poor the ROI is for content grinding.

[@Hasil8424]

Their response on the single company owning multiple territories question was just ridiculous. They apparently are going by the name of the company and using that to determine that generally one company (BY NAME) doesn't own 3+ territories. The fact of the matter is that there are so many alts and shell companies and the same people fighting in multiple wars/on alts/etc., that the situation is far far worse than they make it out to be. All they need to do is check IP addresses/computer hardware information of people holding territories / participating in wards to see.

[@iFINNIX]

I think your comment also brings up another issue, that if a company is holding a ton of territories by using multiple accounts then that shows pvp players don’t have enough to do. But I agree and personally don’t think a company should be able to own more than one territory. There’s a small amount of territories compared to how many companies there are that we should allow more room for more companies and hopefully more variety of factions

[@falcon9ner]

Gold sink, magnify crafting all working as designed, hope they wake up and fix before another major plummet

[@P1CKUPTHEPACE]

Still don't understand the non-upgradable 625 legendary named items. Some wonderful pieces you can get from chest runs and stuff, but it's useless. What's the point of having those items capped at 625? Once you get to 65 600 gs it's super easy to get your gs to 680. I'd argue 690 even. Not BIS, but you can get some pretty decent gear from drops. Just don't see the significance of doing that. They time you put into making the skin for that specific, it just all goes to waste. Why? If anyone sees this, let me know what you think.

[@calistin1]

People should be doing wars for the enjoyment of it and "prestige" of their company owning territory, there should be no gold in pocket from it and any gold from taxes etc should be just to pay upkeep of town stations etc and that is all. Right now essentially AGS allows companies to "embezzle" town gold for their own personal use. Any gold from town taxes should be locked to that town period and it hold be locked there so no company members can take it and to stop it from being sold to gold sellers etc.

[@gonzalesguy21]

Same I know people with just bags that have better actual luck on drops I think to much luck open you up too many common drops flooding the rolls with low end drops

[@nate8383]

They alluded to the truth. Loot buckets are in the realm of 10,000 and and 1% luck moves you 100 points. Then that just means you get into a new loot bucket but not actually significantly more likely to get a desired item. So luck only technically matters but is statistically insignificant.

[@tedmundnw9310]

Teleporting mechanic in the influence races is working as they intend right now, but I disagree with the design. The way they described it in the video is they have separate per faction limits (lets say 40 per faction) and then an overall pvp flagged limit (for example we'll say 100). They did say the overall limit was less/different than the sum of the individual faction limits. And so the exact situation you described (we've seen it on maramma here too where covenant was down bad in #s early in the season ) does occur. You could have 40 purple + 40 green and then yellow shows up with its pitiful 20 and starts getting telported out. In the video they said they wanted to allow two factions to slug it out....but that sucks if you're the third faction showing up to the fight. They should just make it equal to be fair for all who participate. Perhaps there's good reason to prevent rotations but I don't see it.

[@381andme]

I'm on valhalla,marauder experiencing the same problem.

[@braydenjj1163]

Teleporting mechanic isn't a mechanic. It's an incomplete game, doesn't allow the players in the game to participate. It's a fuck you to those who get ported, it's beyond dumb ... It's literally a giant AGS hand that comes into the game to say Fuck you and your fun ... My response is fuck your game, this is a bullshit solution ... They have launched this game knowing it cannot support all the intended players = broken and the devs shitting on their community

[@markovrejic2878]

I haven't played for 2 weeks. and I won't until season 4 either. Nothing to do. PS you go fishing......

[@Shhhelley]

Or play an instrument lol

[@ojh518]

I’m new to New World as of the Steam Autumn sale. I gotta say, I am absolutely loving the game. The world, the quest lines, the gathering/crafting and the combat are all awesome in my opinion. That said, every time I see community content for New World, it feels like it’s 80% complaining. Is the end game actually that bad, or is the player base just never satisfied? Haven’t played many MMORPGs so maybe this is a common theme.

[@tosapox1545]

I find it so weird how people who are new can shit talk about how the community is complaining without zero clue about what has been going on for over a year now. If your enjoying the game keep playing it but telling the community to stop complaining when you don't know shit about what is going on makes you look really dumb.

[@Acanis87]

Gamer are always complaining...

[@dopeness5848]

There is no end game. Hasn't been since launch. These guys have no clue how to make an mmo.

[@Acanis87]

There is an endgame. Maybe you dont like it and thats fine... Go play another game. I have 2k+ hours in the game and know ppl with 5k+ hours in the game. And we lile the game and endgame.

[@dopeness5848]

@Acanis87 did you not listen to this video they literally covered what endgame was lol. Fishing, chest runs and transmog isn't acceptable end game man. The game has been out for years and there is still no ranked pvp or anything like that. If you call farming gear score to get a higher number end game I really feel sorry for you. The game is pretty and has nice sounds but everything else is terrible. I've played mmos my whole life this is amongst the worst of them. Maybe once they add some better raiding for pve and a cool pvp system then I can say something positive. Just being honest man they had 0 people on their team with any mmo experience and it shows. You still can't swim loool.

[@Omegafaction]

I just dislike that every thing I watch on making gold its either grind something for 12 hours (because I have the time for that) or craft something that you need a ton of money for in the first place. Getting gold for someone who plays casually is a pain. Hearing people who have 100k or more in cash complain about price of stuff getting cheaper so they don't make as much money is stuff that puts me off playing the game at all.

[@braydopaintrain4346]

Its a shame they cant give us more pvp modes or role based ques. Its a good thing season of discovery will keep us busy until the devs get their shit together

[@gusgusington97]

Can someone tell me what qualifies as "a lot" of gold?

[@dopeness5848]

Tree fiddy

[@s13ef9]

I do not know a single person who is actually a predominantly pvp player who likes outpost rush lol. OPR is a meme.

[@TheGingerlie]

My company play opr for like 4 hours a day minimum. Most people who play opr grind that shit out because it's fun.

[@ItsGlaive]

On the next Balance of Power episode we'll be talking about... balance!

[@lusthupe7416]

I think it's good that they go slower and do it right. Magnify is really annoying. For example i use the 4/5 parts of the Keratin Armor as my Tank Set. That's 4x Magnify. The Wall ... Magnify. Odo... Magnify. That screws the whole build.

[@uglyfoox8964]

There should be varieties of vendors for pve and pvp to purchase from. You gain currency for doing dungeons, opr, arena and influence race and use those for purchases. Vendors should have like cool cosmetics, consumables, gears and more.

[@kailanirhys6107]

Not merging my server, and no cross dungeon. Means thise of us who log in at 2am after work. Are just fubar for being able to do anything. Everyone is doing WT, and nothing else for hours aftwr reset

[@barva1120]

We need to watch that Balance of power too :)

[@milesmorales2722]

come back when a pug finder is up

[@Musickkk]

Wait a minute. So Magnify mess is not a bug but a feature? Sorry, WHAT??? And I have just one build. I' don't swap it. . But its stupiest thing Ive ever heard, except for D4 explanation about stash tabs. So like, you can have 2-3 of those. But not the whole set? I cant make my const more than 110 atm, cause it just doesnt allow me lol. It's just jumping straight to 300+ const and I lose all dex from MAMgnify. So what they're saying is if you wanna build your character properly - don't use magnify? So why it even exist? I just refuse to understand this logic.

[@flix1179]

"It will take us longer to release more polished content." I know that there will almost always be one bug or another, but, knowing AGS, this seems like another excuse for their incompetence.

[@ikugan]

cross-server should be the priority even more than that expansion

[@ramschasar7654]

Grind can be engaging but what keeps players is interesting gameplay aka new weapons, perks, dungeons and things to do. I also think while new world isnt perfect (and for example the lore is pretty boring and the server structure is just bad) the game is doing pretty good. I am really excited for their lord of the rings mmorpg and hope they learn a lot from new world. I also think they are communicating enough and dont deserve the hate they get from some people. Taking a break now but will check the new dungeon and artefacts once they come out. The music still gets me excited. Such a masterpiece :)

[@petemisc4291]

The three amigos made it thru the dungeon

[@thelonebro8191]

4:30 question is a good one. NW has literally nothing to do after you get your gear. Less grind is good, but they need more endgame content, mainly PvP. 1 sided OPR matches and inaccessible wars or gate camps, waste of time grinding for gear when that's the only option for PvP endgame. Not like PvE is much better either.

[@iyonthedark5070]

Arena is actually a lot of fun.

[@dnaoakog4739]

​@iyonthedark5070 yeah but if I wanted to play an arena game I'd switch to an arena game that dose everything better

[@iyonthedark5070]

i’ve heard that before. To be honest, all current MMORPG games have major issues for me. I can’t think of a single MMORPG game with a better Arena mode that i’d want to play over new world’s arena. And that’s with all NW’s arena warts. I actually think new world’s arena content is its most fun pvp, just has historically lacked in incentives. Especially relative to war.

[@mikemike6182]

u know what make OPR imbalance? the number of healers. AGS already got that data, why dont they just balance healer numbers on each side? so it will be more competitive instead of stomping.,

[@danielkerr4100]

​@@mikemike6182what makes opr dosghit is premades and the op as fuck firestaffs

[@tayalt2406]

Now that’s so hard to make gold that the RMT has increased like crazy, and they are not doing anything about it.

[@bimmerthing]

4:34 - The exact problem with this game is the devs and leads like Scott Lane think transmog, house decorating. fishing, music and chest runs are the end game content. . . Those are just standard features of any game out there, none of that is end game. Again this is a PvP game trying to make PVE content and the content last 2 weeks each release with no new PvP content. The person asked a great question, why should I keep playing and their answer said it all which is a grim outlook for the game. Sr mgmt is the problem with this game direction. OPR needs solo queue only mode, least they can do for community.

[@ReadR00ster1]

At least the economy is better on my server. As long as I feel I can make profit and do some things to advance my character during the day, I am okay playing it.

[@Simply_Helen]

Very disappointed with the magnify thing. So annoyed with not being able to get the balance I need because it flips every time.

[@xDaddyDeadx]

Someone should have asked when they will provide a fix to farm things such as the weaponsmithing hat 😅

[@Manc268]

ye, i got that same issue too.. such an oversight.. surely they have a better database than nwdb & can easily see what each mob or area drops before they nuke a place.. the last time i had an issue liek this it was only a vista painting in cutlass that got nuked by a bearcave somehow.. only a picure for walls i cant fit any items on so i let it go easily.. but the weaponsmith hat & gloves.. and boots ? was it both yeti's ? unbelievable.. players without the full set should just receive a crate of Bop wpnsmth gear for free

[@GP-ur6if]

Always will be players who consume PvE content faster than it is delivered, WoW has had this "issue" for 10+ years now, expansion gets a huge bump and 2-3 months later a chunk is gone. I personally think a new PvE end-game design/model is needed, too much to go into in a forum. Can't expect NW to do that though they could do what many MMOs have done, a 'grind' (or grinds) that provides a small bump in whatever, that is reasonable fun and takes a long time. They have some of those, like the music playing, but they could use more and ones that maybe provides, say+3 to your base stat (so from 5 to 8), which is really no biggy but players who play a ton will do it. I am not one of those players, haha. I mostly PvP and despise grinds. Don't care if my gear is BiS or not, just has to be 'good enough'.

[@danborg1228]

Saying opr is shanging? no new map and same one sided content meaning premate crush the other side = no value wheir is the solo q for arena and opr?.

[@kur8edby]

I just know that New world player count gonna drop by like 20-30% once TL and Blue protocol global releases

[@EmvyBeats]

the gold i have spent on respec could fund an entire build.

[@benjislack8479]

I'll cream myself if they make attributes save work you're gear sets. Been hoping for this since I started playing again xD

[@bigbsumm7501]

big meta shift? i do not think there has ever been a meta change...always been great axe great hammer or great sword for the most part every other weapon gets nerfed if its better than them great weapons in my opinion...they also need to add at least another tree to each weapon got more versatility

[@xQTx]

I fished every fish in the game, there are no more fishes, why should i continue to fish?

[@Imaro2137]

Wealth gap between casual and hardcore player? If casuals should be able to simply enjoy the game without need to spend extra time or gold on stuff, how would you reward people that grind like there's no tomorrow? There's need to be difference between the two, a big difference. If someone works 20h/week on part-time and gets the same money and benefits as someone working 60h/week then what's the point? They have to rethink how they want to do this game, otherwise it's gonna die.

[@DarkScreamGames]

They don't want people playing that long in a day because they don't get any money out of those people. The ones who pay are the ones who can only play 1hr a day. So that's the audience they are targeting with development - seasonal pass boost buyers.

[@xxjuberxx1927]

that thing he says at 5:12 that playing musing instraments, go fishing, decorating your house, changing character with transmog (mostly with irl money) is the end game content is just disturbing. These are side activities not end game content. The expansion for me was a big chance for the game to bounce back and they failed. Despite all the good changes the game still seems soulless. you run around this beautifull wolrd and there is nothing to do apart from hiting rocks etc. Hard to kill open wolrd bosses with a chance for some great loot and some pvp zones could give some life to the game imo

[@petemisc4291]

Speaking of luck, he didn’t even mention the luck trophies which cost a lot and in reality do very little!

[@madkitty2801]

After watching this video i realized how good of a decision i made to stop playing NW before the expansions. At first i was excited when they announced it but then the more we got info about it the more it felt like big step backwards and seing this QA just made me remember many frustrating moments about this game and im glad i have avoided it, since this game has been mostly frustration and disappointment 90% of the time.

[@mehmetmetintekin6016]

good hairstyle man keep it up.

[@iansoliz1992]

He just said it. It's what they like. They don't care what we like or what we need. It's what works for them. The only reason why something changes is because it suddenly didn't work for them. They need to be brought back down to reality. They think their game is so good. It could be, from the people that playtest this game. Hate to admit it but this game is still in beta.

[@Rudbeckbitten]

After logging in to New World as a returning player, the world map and stuff to do just felt overwhelming

[@HadesConstantineNightingale]

Can we have a swim animation yet?

[@thaleyumd1219]

I have no problem with a feature being buggy. I would rather them release something communicate that a feature may have some bugs get player feedback and work on it live. Instead youre going to get a feature that has little to no community feadback that will take awhile to release and still have the majority if bugs.

[@tdub7301]

crazy how this is how the economy is supposed to be... sometimes i wonder if they play the game or if theyre making gold off this themselves

[@craayy6159]

mmmm on release.. there isn't enough things to do at level 60... fast forward.. Game is too grindy? they really can't win

[@aortenzio]

i dont think these guys know what they are doing. also everything is so slow in this game. even getting gear if you are a new or returning player. most people are still buying gold from websites to get gear.

[@DreadedLad88]

No most people arent lol

[@aortenzio]

@@DreadedLad88 they are buying gold and doing gamba. For sure.

[@Shhhelley]

Gold is too expensive to buy since the new expansion

[@danborg1228]

7k hours hear and am a bit tierd of this game been taking breaks but now we are their again soon but what i do really hate is the uniq items cap 500 for bags and bank before you could just sell but now they are worth nothing because the econemy is broken for real so play and salvage and del items that´s what am doing and for the race it clearly don´t work we get teleported when we are fewer people and the other 2 factions are 200++ and we are 30 ish i miss the old system more and looking at player base it seems am not alone if you go in and read 10k players it´s not 10´k it´s more like 7k and people with more account i have 3 accounts logged in at same time many does this from eraly days.
