Good point. I often only have a bit of time to play per day before work, and once I get my dailies done, which doesn't take long, I find myself thinking now what, and I usually end up logging off.

That would be awesome, that's the long grind content I love in games. Like super small percentages, for a decent grind, but then at-least I feel like every kill is worth it. When I am leveling weapons it's so much better then when I hit max level, and high level skins to show how much you've used said weapon would be great as well, and let others know the person you're up against is elite at their chosen weapon type.

I feel the same way, I am looking forward to the announcement on the 7th, I hope that will bring some massive new content. Until then though I have been playing other games I haven't had a chance to play, so I am not too frustrated. (:

War Scrims, not only good for new players to get war xp but for companies to test meta changes and strats during these scrims without having to test them in real wars.

Yea, actually that's a really cool idea. I was never that interested in these practice wars, but if you can like challenge any company you want to a war, and put some gold up on the line, that would allow everyone to participate, and keep things fun. The territories can be for the extreme companies, but casual wars can be more for fun. You challenge another company to a war, with a set bet amount and time to war, and if they accept, it goes down, winner wins the gold, and then each company can have like a war record, with how many wins/losses they have. Good idea. (:

Like none. 😂 Shards does feel like it's the start of making mega servers though.

Yea, they need to double the bug fixing staff and get on it. 😂

Thanks m8, great suggestion. (:

I actually am doing that right now. 😂 I am making it into a series, it's called artifact hunter, I am currently 2 episodes in. Mostly knocking out PVE ones first tho.

Yea, that would all be great. (:

I've never tried GW2 for PVP, I don't think I have ever played in a game where the gear is balanced, I guess that would be great for the newer players who just want to PVP without gearing up and leveling first.

Yea, I went and got it set up (which was kind of a pain), but then it wasn't accurate at all, so I just deleted it, especially with it not being confirmed if it could get you banned or not.

Thanks m8. (:

Did you see Jay's new video about the new game studio AGS is forming in Romania? Maybe they'll hand NW over to them and things will change. I am trying to keep my optimism up until June, and go from there, but it is worrying at times.

Thanks m8. (:

I got 1M wood in 1 of my storages they prob break that shit

Yea, after a while of lazy grinding, re-sorting my banks is such a long process. 😂 Grats on the AGS Spotlight btw. (:

No swimming yet, but it has been pretty much confirmed to be coming with the June announcement.

Yea, that would be sick, like in OSRS, the little dueling ring. Allow the company members to practice in the base.

Yea, there recent comment on a video from someone who had a great idea for wars, what do you think about this: So instead of just practice wars, they keep the hardcore ones for territories, but they also add "casual" wars. This would be, any company can challenge another company to a war, set the time, and how much gold to wager, and if the other company accepts, they both fight it out, winner takes the gold, and every company has a record of wins/losses for wars. So it's not too intense of a system that no one does it, and keeps an incentive to do it. I thought that was a good idea.

@@NewbWorld It's simply looking at games like Conquerors Blade or Myth of Empires, where any clan can fight for territories on a small and large scale. Here they simply allow the same clans to control the entire game and the same characters to be in all the wars

@@sikandarnw6163 Yea, I am all for going and looking at systems in other games that do it better, and just copy it. xD Then once everything is up to par, come up with some unique original systems.

@@NewbWorld It's not like they were the first to use a "conquer the flag" system either...

Yea, mega servers would be massive for the game.

Well hopefully June will prove us all wrong. (:

@@NewbWorld I hope so too

Thanks for the response. (: Yea, for leaderboards, that's why maybe just for servers is the best move, so fresh start servers will allow new players to jump in and be able to compete on overall leaderboards. If it's lifetime, and cross-server, new players would have to no-life to catch up, or hope people in front of them quit. Achievements for sure needs so much of a rework, I keep getting achievements done, but it's like, for what? 😂

Hmm, I don't really notice bad performance in town, and my PC isn't great, plus I am in the Caribbean with really bad internet. I have heard a couple ppl mention it though. Grats on the FA Cup as well btw. :P

@@NewbWorld Manchester will always be red ;)

Yea, those are some good ones. (: Do you think Expedition Scoreboards might make things more toxic though? Like if one DPS isn't as good as the others, they might get kicked mid-expedition?

@@NewbWorld that’s a good point, maybe in M3 competitive content but honestly out of the 1000s of mutations I’ve done I’ve never actually had anyone toxic enough to kick people for being “not good enough “ typically have only seen people get kicked for being verbally abusive towards tank or healer . But maybe a score check may give the tank and healer more firing power lol

@@Tuggsie Yea, I been in those lobbies where one person is overly aggro n eventually someone snaps. xD

Same, swimming is coming, so that's one step closer. :P

Yea, with the bugs, since the new code is in, we haven't had much time to see if it's working, I hope that makes a big improvement to bug fixing. I really don't want addons, I just feel like things would get done so much faster with addons. I haven't really played any PVP focused games with addons though, so I wouldn't know. It would get annoying in PVE as well, everyone would need like 5 addons at least for M3s, and invasions, etc.

I don't really want Addons either, but I just feel like it might be for the greater good, with players who love the game able to get quality of life features out way quicker than AGS could.

I should have put a little disclaimer at the start of the video, this is more to get the game back on track, and make it more enjoyable for those still playing, then when they try to bring everyone back with like a console release, or an expansion, the game is ready to keep them. I wanted it to be easier things to implement, and keep it realistic. There's infinite things that could bring people back, like Naval Combat, new skills, etc. But that's just massive implementations that I don't think are really realistic. As for rewarding the PTR testers, I think it's fair, they're pretty much working for AGS for free, a small incentive on their main accounts seems fair to me. Would also get more people in, and it seems as if a lot of bugs are making it into patches, whether they know about them or not is a different question, but if there's tons of ppl testing for them, more will be found.

2) For the Overwolf, I tried it, and it was a pain to setup, and when I got it working, it wouldn't accurately track my location. If it was done better, I think you'd see it in action on a lot of Twitch streams. I also think I heard somewhere it can get your account banned? Not 100% on that though. 5) For me it's not massive, but I know a lot of other MMO players who don't like the server system we use. And it would be nice to be able to play with my friends who aren't in my servers. I hope AGS Romania does improve the game. Thanks for the response. (:

@@NewbWorld 2) officially, AGS does not ban for minimap. They changed rules for showing players coordinates, overwold adapted it... anyway, such plug-ins are not stable.. would be great to get official SDK for mods. Receipts, quest items, storage are great candidates for AddOns :) 5) My point was, AGS should concentrate on correct rank/gs/xxx matching for all PvP activities. IMHO it's ok to wait 5 min to get similar change to win in OPR/3v3 arena/etc... AGS Romania will definitely try to do best.. they need 6-12 months to get necessary knowledge... in case, no quick rotation in the team... Anyway, it's great time for AGS to buy experienced game developers (Gamelot+others) to grow dramatically. Main question: Are New World is prio 1 or 2 for AGS? do not think so for next 2-3 years... the NW game was great to get experience in game development, to get idea how it works and collect mistakes (different mistakes, always unique ;) )... Now, they are ready to focus on LordOfRing - new game, new experience, new unique world + funs. IMHO, we (players) can help with bugs... at least report most critical bugs to get the game great again ;)

@@mykolago Yea, and I don't mind if they try to bring everyone over to the LOTR MMO n have a fresh start. I like LOTR, I'll give it a go, and if it feels like New World but really good and polished, I'm down to play it.

Yea, I am kinda the same, I don't like addons, but I just feel like all of the small quality of life stuff the game needs, like storage names, and mini-maps, can be knocked out in a week by players, instead of waiting on AGS to add it to the list, and implement it in a year.

i dont like addons

Yea, and they should reward those dedicated players like Mecrow, even if it's a small gesture, like a custom title, "Dedicated Bug Fixer." He's doing more work than some members of the AGS staff, and it's for free. 😂

I am completely in the same boat, but I worry we might be the minority. I love a good grind, and a rewarding drop, but I see so many people complaining on Reddit that they had to grind for a couple of hours to get their artifact. I feel like that's how it should be! These are game changing items. I got a lot of my artifacts on the first 3 kills, and it really just makes it feel less special. Pestilence took me a bit longer to get, and when I finally got it, the feeling was so much better than any other ones I got.

I get it, there have been hints at a new monetization method coming though, hopefully the game goes fully free to play, but we'll have to wait and see.

@@NewbWorld maybe free2play would be the best option

@@fernandomedina9450 Yea, get more people in to play with.

We out here surviving. :P

Not me but I did watch this video

@@Nateramis 😂 I am the same, I still watch OSRS videos even though I haven't played in years.

I think it'll be longer than a couple of months. 😂 They got the big announcement in June.

@@NewbWorld dont be too sure about that LMAO

@@AGENTEN-ry6lr We'll have to wait and see. xD

What does that mean? 😂

I mean, that's what I would do. 😂 Take the best aspects that work well in other MMORPGs, like Runescape's skilling, ESO's Cyrodiil, etc. No need to come up with 100% original ideas, I would first get the game to a really good place, then start thinking about unique, genre defining things to add to the game.

@@NewbWorld I agree with you :)

Lol, you suggest something then that would take no dev time and make the game better. You're being overly bitter for no reason, everyone of these games will 100% make the game better, and of course everything takes a bit of development time.

I'll never let it go until the servers are shut down. 😂

This is what makes it so hard though, is because I don't really notice bots in my server, or city lag, even though I am in the Caribbean with terrible internet, and I don't really struggle getting gold. I do believe we need a lot more PVE, and PVP content though. And bugs needs to get fixed asap, or console players will just give up after the first day.
