i think a company storage would be amazing, so company members could deposit items and take items, make extra storage tabs purchasable somehow, but this would be SO useful, also a mail system, so you can mail items in game to friends and company members, i think these things are much needed and would add a lot of convenience to the game.

Game is getting better and better !

If they're going to take the RNG away from crafting they should implement a non-tradable crafting materials for specific tiers that you can only obtain with your gathering skills. It will bring value to potential player professions. etc,

Mount up animation is exactly like how its in Elden Ring

looks amazing - will definetly come back to play! thanks for the amazing summary :)

i don't mind buying an expansion if it contains a lot of content and updates like this BUT i think locking mounts behind an expansion is terrible, it should be a core system in the game itself.

Player retention is my main concern. If I spend $30, will I end up waiting in dungeon finder for 45+ minutes still just to ultimately never find anyone? I’d rather watch people stream it for a few days and spend my $30 on Starfield or BG3 maybe. Think of the level of content you get from Starfield for $60 or $70, then think of the level of content you get here for $30. It doesn’t add up to me. No hate. I have over 400+ hours in New World. I enjoyed it for a time. I think that time is up, however.

For attributes points they said they were adding a 25 point level and the 350 level and elsewhere mentioned reworking some of the 250 attribute point bonuses

Excited for the New World Expansion as a returning player from the official launch in 2021 🙏🏽🍾

lifestaff artifact reduces healing by 50% but increases damage to your abilities. you can go back to your lifestaff dps build.

You forgot a few things about open world PvP that they are improving, mainly, that you will be rewarded for defending the territory and stopping the other factions from declaring or if your faction wins the declaration then you get rewarded for helping which is a big change and will hopefully incentivizing defense of a settlement or more people helping to push a territory and they also said your faction would get some kind of bonus in the War itself either the next time your faction fights a War in the case of the defenders or during the war if the capture is successful. They also talked about capture point "towers" that will give either a multiplier or bonus influence to the team that caps it. Of course, we don't know what is meant by "tower", but hopefully it is an actual structure we can fight in. It'd be pretty disappointing if it was just like a "Tower of light" that shoots in the air that changes color based on who has it captured. I also have my fingers crossed that we see some upgrades for War, like new, bigger forts using assets from Monarch's Bluff castles or a fort using Brimstone Sands assets etc. Of course, there is no indication of that happening right now, but the forts need updating and War needs an upgrade pass in general too so I have my fingers crossed.

wish we could also have bears as mounts

What is the transmog for your head at 11:00?

Im 625 everything, including weapons i dont use and ive never done above m4 dungeon. I also havent played "regularly" since brimstone sands. Did a lot of pvp....but expertise, especially after brimstone.. is not really an issue like it was at launch.

Oh great - I was *almost to trade skill master and they added music, and now they added riding, and they're pushing it to 250. I was hoping to finish that in my lifetime....

Time to play again... so many necessary changes all for less than a packet of smokes or a carton of beer... good stuff

Only reason I would be ok to pay for this, is if there was actual new zones. I do like the game very much, so I'll prob get it tho

I bet there will be a lot of people who pick the expansion up and try it day one. I'm pretty sure they'll need more servers. I don't think they need to flag them as fresh start, but I do hope they do not allow transfers to the new servers for at least a couple weeks.... up to a couple months depending on the metrics at the time. I don't think I'd bother playing on a new server if they did this, but I think having a bunch of high level players transfer to the server on day one just would not feel good for the new players.

Please please please, when it’s time it would be amazing if you could release a video with new gear, builds and advice for healers. I’m a healer in NW and I’ve been following your advice and tips and it’s helped me so much, more than any other creator or wiki page. Thank you! 😄

I’m finally coming back after these expertise changes

I wish they would do fresh start servers for this expansion. It's been so long since I've played it would be better to start over at this point. I've forgotten everything.

Will be crazy starting over but I love getting rid of all the ward

Just as a note, you said the flail scales primarily off strength and secondary off intelligence, but David said recently there’s no more unequal scaling. Idk if that means 50/50 or 100/100 though

Kinda wish they would add some kind of katana weapon.

Been waiting for this video

Feels like a fair amount of money for a non-subscription game, anyone still playing New World probably won't mind, at the end of the day think of all the money you've saved by not playing other MMOs like BDO!

Even if the expansion was $5 some people would complain. The price for me sounds ok. Maybe around the $20 would be more appealing though. All the changes sound really good but it still seems to be very group oriented. As basically a solo player, I lasted about 6 months in the game and then the appeal quickly waned. Also there's too much of the game based in dungeons and if you're not into dungeons then it hurts you big time. If you're a group player I think the expansion will be another good reason to keep playing New World.

Locking what is essentially a seasonal update, with core mechanics and less overall content than brimstone (which was free) behind a paywall that's nearly the price of the base game, is a surefire way to split the community and drive away returning players. Nobody is going to pay another $30 to get back a revamped zone they lost, access to mutations they lost, and a core game feature that has been requested since launch. They'll just play something else, likely for free. This game will lose what little momentum it had and end up like Crucible.

I have no issues with paying $30 for the expac, however it would be better to price the original game and expac at aaround $50. Would be nice to have shared storage for one's characters.

Great video thankyou.

They really should provide something for all the umbral shards I have stored up! Also what about gypsum orbs…..crazy if all that is just trash to the ground…. Give me at least gold for them.

There will new servers to take the overflow ... And wait for things to settle down and see if any need to be kept

that mean if u not buy the expansion u can acces the new content or we can unlock that via quest?

"Ride mounts, wield a new weapon, and explore transformed lands when New World: Rise of the Angry Earth launches on October 3. We can’t wait for players to experience every new feature, including the story behind the fall of First Light, in our first paid expansion. Discover Aeternum’s next chapter for $29.99. New players can pick up both the base game and the expansion for $69.99 as part of the New World: Elysian Edition bundle. Look forward to Season 3 updates for all players alongside the release of Rise of the Angry Earth. With revamped mainline story quests, open world PvP changes based on player feedback, and quality of life improvements like the removal of Wards, Banes and Expertise, there has never been a better time to visit the Eternal Isle. Check out the announcement trailer below." -Revamped main story Should have been in game at release, no effort was ever put into this previously, and the little bit of effort that has come since is simply not enough for an expansion or even for a base game purchase. Cinematics and story progression that have been added have been nothing but lazy gap filler for previous lack of service. Not to mention the inability for some people to even progress their questlines for weeks or months at a time due to bugs that are not even put on the back burner - but rather into the freezer to deal with at a later date. -PvP changes (based on player feedback) Should have been in game at release or addressed during early stages of development (alpha, beta), or at the very least sometime in the last 2 years. The game should always be being adjusted based on player feedback, not just when it's convenient to get more people back or prevent them from leaving when there's a price tag looming. -QoL Improvements, removal of wards, banes, expertise Removal of the entire boardroom exec playtime analytic-driven gearing system that should have never been part of the game, but nevertheless has been the basis for gearing and content for the game's lifespan. Never respected the player's time and effort, no REAL end game content was ever introduced until Worm, and that just rewarded more trash gear that could only be used in certain circumstances, the same as all other gear. Now, to drive the point home that they never cared about your time and effort, instead of making those changes early on, they are removing the entirety of that system and leaving you with exactly zero content below the new level cap. Take any other MMO that has ever been worth anything as an example - FFXIV and WoW being the biggest and most recognized - their first attempts at a world and content were vast and the content remained well after the fact for players to do. If you made it to level 60 in WoW and didn't have the most recent expansion, besides the lack of other level 60 players - you can experience that content almost exactly as it was intended, or get some friends that made it to the new level cap to have an easier time. The plethora of raids and dungeons were still a reward for getting to that level. Same thing for FFXIV, which also had the benefit of a MASSIVELY immersive and flushed out story as well as quests that were present from the start and available to this day. They have also given the option of going back to their previous end game content with scaling, so that not only people who are short an expansion can experience them as intended, but even people who are significantly above the content level can experience it alongside them in the exact same way. New World never made any sort of efforts to give a playable or flushed out story, or anything meaningful at all to the player. When I first started playing the game, my impression was that I was starting your standard, generic, run of the mill survival game, but some guys had an orange mark above their head in an attempt to pretend to have/add RPG mechanics. But at least in a survival game, my time is still more respected when it comes to leveling my skills and harvesting resources that serve any sort of purpose beyond gambling for gear. Tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, 4, 5 - gather 10000, 1000, 100, 10, 1 and refine them... and refine them... and don't forget the rare resources... and awww, sorry, you didn't actually get any of the additional perks that you wanted, so you crafted a piece of gear that is unwanted by any player in the game because of the system that we designed. But they're getting rid of that now, so of course we don't talk about the effort and time sunk in by people who used that terrible and broken system. Oh, but it wouldn't be fair to compare New World to other MMOs, well, of course unless it's convenient in that you're trying to defend their anti-consumer, anti-player, anti-your-wallet practices, and then it's fine to say that other MMOs did it too, or did it worse. "New Story - First Light has fallen. Once a welcoming place for newcomers to Aeternum, the fields have been ravaged by the fury of the Angry Earth. No one is certain what has become of the people and villages that once populated the area, and a deadly barrier has kept all but the most intrepid from attempting to find out. This abundance of earthly powers has awakened the mighty Beast Lords, a new possible adversary facing the people of Aeternum… but with them also comes a boon - the secret to taming and riding animals." - New Story/Zone reborn Other games have starting zones, but most of them don't have random, arbitrary, unnecessary starting zones with little to no meaning, little to no content... that exist for... what exactly? I still don't understand their reasoning for having three different starting areas, with effectively the same exact quests, a tweaked story - that, to my understanding was actually not part of the game to begin with, or at least not meaningful whatsoever. The game had a much greater grinding aspect, and leveling was gated by time rather than effort or completion of areas/quests/content because it didn't exist or rewarded nothing. When other MMOs have starting areas, it's usually because they have races, or classes, or something that warrants having them in a particular area for the purpose of lore building or flushing out the map in a purposeful way, usually the quests are unique and the content is different. As far as it can be in the realm of MMORPGs - go here, talk to, deliver, kill, loot, etc. But New World just said "other games have multiple starting zones, so we have to as well, or what will they say about the size and usefulness of our map???". Remaking a zone is nothing new, and in this case most people probably wouldn't even notice or care because of the seemingly meaningless nature to their starting areas, but I still view this as more of a removal of content rather than an addition to it. "Mounts - Summon a mount for faster traversal across Aeternum. Master horses, dire wolves, and lions, each with a unique look, customizable equipment and a name you can set. Level up the new Riding Trade Skill to earn upgrades like increased speeds, buffs and higher tier consumable food for your new friend." The most basic addition to any open world RPG/MMORPG, nearly every existing game in the genre has had them in the base game, usually gated behind a level requirement or quest. Simply a QoL improvement to traversing the sheer scale of the worlds that are constituted by the genre. Probably not included initially for artificial inflation of time spent in game, or of course whatever excuse you want to toss their way for them to use in order to justify the lack of them existing from the game's inception. But of course, and this has yet to be seen, they mention upgrades to speed, buffs, higher tier consumables... through trade skill (and customizable equipment?). So, you'll have to equip your mount with gear or something similar. Which, at its core is a decent enough concept that leaves room for future implementation of upgrades without having to get a new mount tier after the next level cap increase. The concept is at least justifiable, but again, the implementation of this remains to be seen - and knowing how the game has been designed up until this point, it's most likely going to be a series of things that you have to farm and farm and farm, in order to squeeze out a bit more damage and protection. Kinda just sounds like wards, banes and trophies but with extra steps and pushed into a staple mechanic to let you think that you're getting something out of it. I can almost guarantee that these have been thought about more than most other things in this expansion, simply for the fact that having something else to gear/equip will make up for some of the loss of session time that comes from removing wards and banes and allowing you to traverse the world faster. They're not letting you off the hook, or just giving you something basic, fun and cool - they're giving you another reason to drive their analytics in a positive direction at the expense of your time, effort, and likely displeasure because you feel that it's necessary, or you're not allowed into a group without the highest tier of buff/consumable/etc.

Do we know if new crafting require trophies, gear etc?

It's one-off pay for lots of content most players wished for like mounts etc so not ongoing loss of income

You’re thinking of Hand of Sacrifice for paladins in World of Warcraft.

new world looks so good. I love pvp games but aiming is ptretty tough when you cant see that well in the first place. Did they ever make that better after launch?

Wish they would let you dual wield them flails. That would be really cool.

they need to add more than 1 weapon, or at least change some of the current weapons to adjust the meta more often

Will mounts be locked behind the expansion or how will that work ? I just came back to the came after 2 years, but now I'm conflicted if I want to play if mounts will be in the expansion.

Any new weapon skill abilities or point cap increase?

So sounds like shrinking heals will be bis if you have a set with it to get 700 gs items....

I’m still confused about how we will get gear at 700 when not all locations for specific gear is the hardest content.

I worried that AGS is biting off more than it can chew with all these system changes.

So, does anyone know if umbral shards are going to disappear? If so, it would be nice if they converted to gold.

Really looking fwd to the crafting changes, I've never understood the current random levels and stats, and it's resulted in me totally ignoring crafting even though I have levelled them to 200. Personally I'd disagree with what you said that it's worth its price tag, compared to what I used to pay for WoW I'd say this game is better and cheaper and I'd be prepared to pay more for it, even a reasonable monthly fee.

got my game as free to play will I be able to buy expansion and continue with current game or will i have to start all over

My 1 question is. What new activities are there to do now in the game?

raising the level to 65, does it mean that all the items I farmed every day for half a year now go to the trash?

Hey I have 5000 Asmo stacked up and havent played for a really long time. Now I see the prices dropped 500% and I loose soo much coin. Do you reckon asmo and such will be more expensive again?

People who don't pay for the expansion, will they have mutations removed altogether for them? I hope some aspects of this expansion are once off. Meaning the constant level increasing each expac, and frequent increases...when payment is compulsory...I'm not okay with that model. I'd like to think the level increase is only to force people on to the new looting system as we all need to replace out gear now, it's a good way to reset.

I hope that if I get to 65 and 700gs I can just walk naked on myrkgard

something like 19,99 would be fair. 29,99 is just too much for a patch and mounts

It doesnt feel good to have a territory cut from existing content, then sold back to us... Also, that door to the dungeon aint gonna keep many people out XD

lets hope they dont do fresh start servers. Make it more fun to transfer to a brand new server with your bois and have a good time.

That's expensive for me. 🙁

Asmon Runic Phonix - are they going to be usless? are there any official infos

There is more new territory than revamped first light

Now we just need swimming and we can say this is the best mmo ever…

for some reason im feeling hints the want to go more wow loot style and more frequent updates and gear wipes, which doesnt sound fun

The game has been a shit show performance wise since season 2 and they haven't bothered to fix it, season 1 and 2 were both seriously uninspiring and not worth the money, charging for gear set slots, same crappy events reskinned or straight up copy and pasted, even transmog which on the whole they did well they screwed up by locking the weekly free token behind a 1% RNG elite chest run nonsense. Now they are charging $30 (Plus the cost of the season pass of course) for basically a reskinned FL and mounts and locking previously free content behind a paywall. I pretty much have zero faith left in AGS now to make the game what it should be so season 3/expansion will probably be me signing off. Can't really complain it's been a good run with NW but time to try something new.

I kinda wanted to get back into it but the server my friends on is locked 😃

BARBER SHOOOOOOPPPP

As a newcomer, I can confirm the expertise was really unfun. Was a huge turnoff and really the only reason I stopped playing. It's fine, I suppose, if you've been playing from the start and have/ had the time to grind it. But for me, I just simply didn't have the time. I have other games I play, work a lot, and have a family to look after. So taking away the expertise is definitely going to bring me back. Super happy it's gone cause I REALLY like the game otherwise. Can't wait for October!

Saya mau tanya. Kita harus bayar 30$ untuk perbulan atau sekali bayar saja?.

Can we swim tho 🏊

only aspect of this that i don't like is, if you don't plan on buying the expansion, you might as well uninstall. it's not like... optional content. if you primarily do pvp, you will be left in the dust without the expansion. locked out of "the Flail weapon, Artifact gear, mounts, progression updates,". think about that. you will not be able to progress... what does that mean? you can't get to level 65? or.... can't get 700 gear score? if it were just being locked out of the new zone (that they essentially took away from us), a new dungeon, and even mounts, i wouldn't care. but the way they explain it on the site, it smells kinda bad.

How about being able to search in your storage and see all of the results storage wide!? Such a worthless time sync IMO

While I appreciate everyone who plays regularly and especially people like Baggins who makes content for the game.. .the truth is, this is a non-subscription MMO. They don't really need to make the grind so crazy for gear that it takes months and months of playing to get really good gear. For example, Once you get good gear, then you can enjoy pvp knowing that you are fighting on an even playing field, which actually makes pvp more fun IMO than making the grind so hard that most people quit before getting up to that level playing field. Destiny has some grind to get max power level, but most content doesn't really require max power level, and that game does just fine keeping people engaged (at least up until recently when they kinda dropped the ball). New world is a fantasy MMO so they have fantasy mmo features, but so many of the mechanics are like destiny, and I think it's good they are adding some more destiny-esque features (artifacts especially, basically the equivalent of exotics in destiny).

So no raids? Yeap....not coming back

We can upgrade actual set gs600 to gs 700 after ?

Was gonna come back just for the new weapon but fuck that lmao. Not paying 30$ just for that. I don't care about the other content. R.i.p new world

So we're essentially given re-skinned First Light back, great. Now, imagine moving mutations behind the paywall for all the people who won't purchase the expansion. I don't mind paying, but taking away what has been in-game and trying to sell it back to us is scummy.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I hate games with increases to vertical progression. I've always seen the leveling process as part of the tutorial. Games really begin at level cap. Games with horizontal progression are so much more fun. So many successful games have implemented such models. This level increase, as minimum as it is (5 levels only) just pushes me away from the game. All the gear I have now is worthless, and I can expect the new gear to become obsolete at some point. I've been playing GW2 for over 10 years. I've been basically using the same gear for almost as long as I've been playing the game, and I can play any content, new or old, any time I want to.

New world is turning into destiny 2

So long just to make the changes If they did this in the 1st 6months

I got like 1500hrs in this game I want to play again but I don't wanna pay for exit lag just to have a playable ping :( i miss this game

Servers having only 2500 players in an MMO is baffling to me, increase the cap you cowards !

18:32 It's worth it if you're ok with buying a game smaller than before because they took away a map region to sell in this expansion, and if you're ok with never being able to compete with those who will pay for the expansion no matter how hard you grind. You'll be paying for a demo basically.

its a sad time for me. i cant afford the expansion wew. never thought that it will be a payed expansion.

One of the big selling points of New World to me was that it was a one time purchase avoiding all the subscription BS other MMOs had. Unfortunately, with the addition of both the Season Pass, and gear sets and now Paid expansions, not to mention the generally lack of content, there doesn't really seem like I have any incentive to play it anymore.

Nice try Amazon.... i already have payed for first light in the basic game. Then they take away that area and sell it again in a expansion. Wow good business model without expanding the map. Why not leave first light and expand map to the north or east? I loved first light and miss it. If it works amazon will have changed whole map and selled every area twice 🤣

As in ONE massive reworked map? So AGS reworked a map which was included with the first purchased and now call it an expac? Enjoy your clunky animation mounts.....

If there is no full loot pvp like Albion Online it gonna be dead soon just like when the game was first released lol

if the expansion had a new zone similar size of brimstone sands i wouldnt mind the 30€, guess i'm gonna wait for christmas promotion. this isnt worth 30€. how the F a game release an expansion without new zones,dungeons,raids or whatever new content,systems? We are paying 90% the price of the base game for so little content

18:12 sounds insanely scummy to me. Imagine you spent MONTHS to grind your First Light territory standing to 250 to get the achievement (which needs 300), but than they remove the region (and all your work) and the new Region is locked behind a paywall. I hope they remove the achievement and compensate players that were grinding their way towards it because that is certainly a reason to drop the game. I'm not continuing to play a game knowing all the time I've spent grinding towards something could get wasted at any time

One uniqe item sounds a lot like Destiny 2 LMFAO

FRESH START FRESH START FRESH START

Uhm? Remove a old zone and add a new one with expansion???? So they take away from people who payed for the base game....to give to people who pay for expansion? Really?

so....they added passes now they also want us to buy the expansion....i would rather start playing wow honestly

WoW is a subscription based game with 80$ expansion and people dont mind. 30$ is pretty fair for NW. Just the level cap increase the new tradeskill increase the new item grind / artifact tier item requiring quest to " level up" to unlock full potential akin to Destiny Exotic quest. Pretty sure you can put 60+h at the very mininum on that expansion so 50 cent per h played isnt that bad. Think about going to the movie nowaday it run you nearly 30$ if you buy comodities and you are there only for 2 hours ish at most. I dont get the hate I hear about the price of the expansion really its definetly not that bad. Diablo 4 was 70$ and was a pretty crappy game with seasonal content scarce af. They will release a expansion obviously asap at a 70-80$ premium as soon as corpo will need boost in their Quaterly too. So i'm glad to spend the few buck on NW im sure we are only scratching the surface of this expansion. Dev spoke about making full fledged Raid once their team got the hang of making good engaging raid boss ( Sandworm being an honnest attempt at it )

so will we pay for the next expansion?lmao

I hope the new levels aren't paywalled for pvp sake. The new (pvp)armor paywalled is going to be bad enough. This could kill pvp(as if opr isnt bad enough already).

It's an mmo without a sub. Pretty sure it was only $49, at that. A mid cost xpac is fair and justified. It may never be the game we wanted, nothing ever is, but you get a lot for your money still.

$69.99 for the base game + expac is a big mistake IMO they should now make the base game F2P and keep the expac at $29.99 there will be a lot more players giving the game a go if it’s f2p then buying the expac than there will if they keep that price tag. That’s super steep for what is deemed as a failed MMO by the community at large.

flail so boring I want daggers lol

the time is here, paid expansion. Imagine you farm a shit raid to get stuff and the game tell you they're useless and now if you want to have fun with new content with the new system you have to pay. And it's not just that, mounts are behind a paywall and even the heartrune. The game is becoming like Destiny 2, and the only thing that make it better is that content are free and the only thing you pay is the base game, now you have to pay the base game and the expansion, at least D2 base game is free.

Everyone who bought the Deluxe version of the base game and was playing for at least 6 months from release should have gotten the expansion for free. Why? At that moment, the game was completely garbage, and those people who were struggling with it helped the game develop without getting the quality they were supposed to gain and which they paid for.

the animations for mount riding looks so horrible xD
