Looking at Steam charts people aren't 'coming back' it's had peak players in the 20k's for 6months, it's very stagnate, which is better than it falling off I suppose. I enjoyed my time with the game at launch, played for around 4months, hit max level, farmed out all weps, got BiS crafted gear, was in a warring company that owned 2 zones(sometimes 3). We literally exhausted the content. I hope the game has a resurgence once it's had more time to cook.

On top of that, it's really annoying that all PVP content is locked behind a lvl/GS wall. If you're not a lvl 60 with 625GS you can't participate in any Outpost rushes, 3v3 arenas, wars, etc... which sucks big time

[@sian1of2]

I play solo most of the time. I don't do expeditions. I solo Q OPRs. The game seems to be going towards raids and grouping up to do things. The time spent to group up is more than the time taken to do the actual thing. If group content is necessary to progress, then this game is probably not for me.

[@designing9391]

I am on the same boat, i love group content only if finding good group is not time consuming, also not a fan of time consuming raids.

[@jayd8584]

Im still not seeing enough change in this game to want to go back unfortunately, its a good game but they fell over so much at the beginning by releasing a half baked game that it just feels like there is nothing really new and inspiring coming out. Just revamps of old failures, even the new zone is just a redo of an old boring zone they had. The fact that the clan system is still so bare bones after this long when its a core feature within the game blows me mind. Hopefully in another year or so itll do a No Mans Sky and have a good flip.

It's like why waste time and energy investing in something that has no return.

New World can NEVER do a No Man's Sky. The difference is in developer integrity. No Man's Sky has had 24 named content updates since 2016's launch and they have never charged a single penny more. Amazon Games...not so much, they charge for items that you can literally not get in game and even after multiple reports over a 6 month time span, STILL do not deliver. Its literally criminal.

Just started New World, feels super fun so far as an Runescape player... Enjoying the grind. There are things I'm really... Hesitant about of, such as Player Support from the horrors I've heard, but can't be worse than EA so... I do hope the content they are doing for Seasons stay, I don't think it's beneficial for the players or the health of the game to vault content, it breaks the continuum personally, and creates this hollow point like in Warframe etc. My Question in regard to the Seasons is... Are you able to go through the rewards if you've purchased the pass, even after the season has ended?

[@andycrizack]

Nope. Season 1 just ended yesterday. If you missed out, thats it. So if you bought the season pass 2 days earlier, you have to buy another for Season 2 that just started too.

[@RageInducedGamer]

​@@Ezz0ClanThat's how most battle passes work. It generates FOMO.

[@Ezz0Clan]

@@RageInducedGamer FOMO can be created in many ways, away to successfully do so is in-game specific events without restriction to them. The idea of FOMO is subjective and usually if it's set behind payment method steers player interest else where as consumers have become more aware of the malpractices. Awareness to being screwed is at all time high. Short term benefits for these companies are still massive, but if the players refuse to fund this, it creates loop of necessary action from companies to find ways to beneficiate the investors. I can't express how crucial this is for the health of games, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the community and the game evolves as it already has. However, the ball is on the players court now.

[@rimebinder]

There is NO player support. I purchased an item at launch time. It was taken out of the game by accident. I showed them how and where with multiple reports and I never got the item back (this was an item paid for with real money through amazon, not in game gold). I have another issue from 2 months ago where I was not rewarded from an in game activity and 3 reports later I have not received a single email. Yes I checked spam and yes I made sure they had the correct email address. This alone should tell you their postion on the game. They want to make stuff to sell, but not spend any money on fixing what was already sold. That by definition is a cash grab.

why is every feature people have been begging for since launch paywalled? Gear sets, transmog, trophies, prob mounts aswell is stuff everyone should be able to access nomather how much gold or cash you got. I see regular players dont think this is a problem, but as a player that left the game and looking for reasons to return this keeps me away from the game. Whats next, have to pay for more storage space? They should focus on giving the huge crowd that left the game reasons to return, not squeeze as much money out of the 10k regular players still keeping up with the game

in my honest opinion and this is coming from someone who bought the game on release and saw first hand the many reasons this game lost so many players. The devs should be making end-game more accessible to players and cut out the gatekeeping. Also, just from listening to all of the different things you NEED to do to go into certain dungeons or need for PVP is mind-numbing to a casual player. They should tone the games systems down a bit, release the game on consoles and have crossplay and progression to get new players involved in the game.

And dont get me wrong for a game thats still in pre pre pre - alpha state its not as bad, hopefully by the time they are going to release it which was set to sometime in 2050 most stuff will be fixed by then

Fun game to level through, but the endgame gearing is one of the most rubbish systems i've ever seen. The whole need to re-gear for the content you want to play is horrendous.

[@programmer-network]

New World was an amazing game during launch, when all of us started from level 1. Lot's of players, world PvP all day long, etc. Sadly, once we all reached max level, that "magic" started turning into a nightmare. Endless and never ending chest runs (as I called them back then, a "E key" runs, corrupted breaches zergs (you can pretty much AFK), brainless dungeons with no difficulty, etc. Those who played from day one know what I'm talking about. It was truly a magical game. Graphics are beautiful, the music is magical, crafting (ignoring the utter and horribly grind) was fun, etc. Sadly, once you start the endgame, it pretty much all starts going down. And while this game is always gonna remain as one of the most beautiful MMO's I played, seeing the latest patches all being in the Store, and that you need to pretty much pay for everything, it doesn't look good. Wish such decisions, I'm starting to think that they are intentionally trying to make the remaining of players quit, so they can just shut it all down.

good thing they didnt remove ward and bane

They will by the end of the year. Its Confiserie in a dev Video.

Thanks for the info! I may try playing during S2 a little bit, but most likely wont commit fully until S3 from the sounds of it.

Clickbait. No one is coming back to this dogshit game. Player count is still down according to Steam Charts.

Bruv check ur numbers lul

[@rimebinder]

@@gobucsgobolts3238 Its due to the sale "bruv". Anyone who played season 1 can see that season 2 is no better...its still a grindy joke with terrible rewards. Its a cash grab.

@@gobucsgobolts3238 At the time of this video release, numbers were still down. As of today, player count is up by about 250 people. Numbers checked.

@@z543 if you want to play certain content, you gotta have a particular build, gear, and ect. If you don’t play the way they see as optimal, you won’t get in groups. Gw2 dungeons was like that when people played them back in the day.

Man I wanna give this game a go but I’m running a 3090 founders edition gpu . I know it was killing evga models and gigabyte models but is the game okay now ?

Ultimate Trophies seem good, but bloody hell 45K gold for one, and if I want to just complete a set I need 135k!!

[@garrettleao4137]

The game is a husk that has potential with the gameplay, but often times, I am left confused on what is actually going on in the story because of the mediocre explanations and 'lore' pages. It has the corporate corruption on it that plastered what could've been a good game into something so mediocre, a five year old could create something with better narrative and lore than that. The itemization is rough as well and I feel it suffers from the same problems as retail Wow in that regard, items don't feel unique and even a legendary is far too common of a sight. At times, it reminded me of playing Age of Conan back in its prime, but then I slowly realized how bad the story actually is as well as other misc facets and am now requesting a refund on steam. Hopefully it improves but honestly at this point I don't think it will.

[@Skarface08]

Thanks for doing the lords work Baggins. I played this game religiously and the main reason I left was the player count and grind. I really love a bunch of things about this game like the audio and feel of the game mechanics. But I found it to be tedious to craft leather every morning I logged in. It started to feel like a job and I think that was the biggest reason why I left. I felt bad if I didnt craft everyday because of the cooldowns.

[@keykey2152]

My thoughts exactly. At some point it felt like an obligation to craft stuff. I also started to feel continiously overwhelemed by my storage and all the items and gear that I could potentially need at some point.

[@lewmaca]

What even is your accent? UK or US?

[@johnquin23]

They ruined the OPR global system so lag .

[@gamezonereactions8388]

Having no matchmaking ruined OPR from the start when they had enough players.

[@CantankerousOB]

I somewhat agree but disagree as well. OF COURSE the game is in a better state than it was at launch, it's been almost 2 years. Bug fixes tho... there are still bugs in the game that were there at launch. Content...doesn't exist. I love the game as much as you do, and played just over 8k hours since beta, but there's just nothing there to keep me entertained. The 20 main raid? Just another way to separate the casual and small guilds from the larger ones. It will be quiet a while before a pug beats the sandworm as the in game voice is pathetic so organizing a pug group will be difficult. I played on PTR and tried many times while the worm was easy mode, and couldn't get a group to join discord to beat it. I did run through with a couple other streamers and beat it easily. Removing the forums was a final nail in the coffin for me. I honestly believe they couldn't take the criticism.

[@calanne5250]

Am I the only one that wasn't compensated for my house in First Light & missing everything from my storage? To top it off, customer service is a joke and they don't care. Why would I put my money and time into content that can be taken away? I hope someone talks about this... and the bugs/content not even working. They don't deserve new players until they care a bit more and fix their shh.

[@jeromethy]

Amazon should just do a SEA release for us

[@leonardorangel6190]

Cross server for arenas and OPR il n great

[@sergeoh735]

gaining players? Steam charts hasnt moved

[@Fukyoubigtime]

Yeah I joined for game sale. Super surprised to see how bare bones the game is. Expected a little more depth. Story is also garbage

[@janispaegle8693]

Good vid, I still find game to become boring after 60 lvl for casual players, all that stuff you mentioned are for ppl who play multiple hours per day, there is just too much stuff that needs to be done to do something while i just want to log for one hour and relax

[@JohnnyBoy8089]

Should have been a raid dungeon. Sad its just another boss that will collect dust like the other boss arenas like siren queen etc.

[@jackorickoricko7875]

Still no love for open world pvp... still no pvp only server. as a pvp player there is not enough content yet im sorry, doing the same outpost rush and arena i just not fun enough
