Why You Should Care About New World

[@haartrich]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to point out that I was wrong about dungeons not being present in New World, as pointed out to me by Antonio Freire and Soo Hapi. Thank you to both of you, and sorry to anyone I misinformed.

There are "no stanced dungeons"... like a place that deeper you go, stronger the mobs get... till you find the Boss...

[@haartrich]

Gotcha, so does that mean there are other forms of dungeons? I couldn't find confirmed news on this, and it was kind of concerning. I'm hoping I'm wrong/misinformed on this.

@@haartrich Think of it like an Open World dungeon, no teleporting etc. for example you go into an old Ruin of sorts and as Antonio wrote, the deeper you go the harder it gets. Once you enter the dungeon it could be that you (and your party) will get a private instance to prevent other groups from killing the mobs before you get to them etc. Although don't blindly believe me on that one, it has been weeks since I last checked. Anyways, amazing video quality, very nice structure and commentary. Greetings from Reddit

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And thank you for being concise and informative. I really appreciate it! I'm glad that there seems to be something in place in the way of dungeons. I really don't think it would be fair to PvE players to not have any, so I'm happy I'm wrong.

the tax rate shouldn't be an issue. it has been done before, all you have to do is set parameters for minimum and maximum tax rates, with secondary incentives based on where you land on the scale of min to max tax rate. the higher you set the tax, the less secondary benefits you reap.

Fair enough. I guess I was more alluding to the fact that this game is very community driven and reliant, which puts a lot on the player's to create the world they want to play. It's hard to know if that will be inviting, or toxic. The devs can always employ countermeasures, but if players are always going to be power hungry, it could create a community that most people will avoid. I hope that explains where I'm coming from. Thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it

There is nothing "exciting" about PvP in this game. I am telling this as a current alpha participant: ibb.co/BLPB8ms The PvP is worse than in any existing game such as GW2 or ESO or especially EVE Online and it will not get better because Amazon does not have time anymore to add huge PvP areas to allow for larger battles without artificial schedules. And doing "NPC invasion defense" is as boring as farming dolmens in Alik'r Desert in ESO, though it is more convenient because you do not have to move as much as in dolmen farming. The story is non-existent compared to any existing MMORPG, the crafting is largely pointless since you do not lose your gear even in PvP and you can explore whole in-game world in a couple of hours. You also do NOT "control" anything in the world - for example you cannot evict players from any settlement or attack them if they do not want to be attacked. You can only adjust taxes which are meaningless for people who do not craft and do not care about housing or making a lot of money.

That really sucks to hear... I was really looking forward to finally enjoying an MMO.... And pretty much all that drew me in for this game was the combat and pvp. I hope they will at least make steps to improving it all.

I feel like your talking to fast

[@haartrich]

My bad! I'm trying to work on that. Hope it wasn't too frustrating or hard to understand...

[@notneuro]

Haartrich I didn’t think you were.

[@haartrich]

Hey, thanks! I think I honestly edited the intro to this video poorly, which made it sound like I was talking too fast. I think the rest of the video was paced correctly though! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
