New World is one of the only games that the real world cash shop offers less enticing outfits than what you can find in game.

Ive said it a million times. The only way theyre saving New World is to do a Realm Reborn style relaunch of the game. The game was shiny on the outside but fundamentally broken

New World had so much potential.

They are going to announce that you have to link your PSN account to keep playing the game.

So they announced they are going to have an announcement in a month?

the desync issue makes it impossible to complete some quests in the higher difficult areas(playing solo). at least in my experience... you cant dodge properly or switch weapons fast enough.

New World is an Early Access game with high potential. It has yet to be released.

for a few weeks after release New World was insanely fun because of the abundant PVP. you could be out gathering materials or leveling skills and at any point you get bored you know theres several locations with massive amounts of people doing PVP. the best part was that everyone was close in level and nobody had enough time to become super skilled or learn OP builds/farm OP gear. large PVP battles were a shit show but in the most fun way excluding server issues. when i hit level 60 it just became stale and boring so i quit. i think many others did the same or quit in the level 50s.

mmos that arent steam exclusive are more often than not much higher playerbase on regular client, as steam often acts as a launcher to launch the client launcher.

@11:11 "you're gonna make a massive splash..." Yeah I bet she would got dayum.

I love New World. the world , the crafting and gathering, the dungeons, the look of the gear, its all so damn good. Then you have the weird ass combat with the even weirder animations, it always looks like your lagging. there is so much potential in this game man, if they can just do a combat overhaul

Well they’d need to add content to do with swimming to make any sort of impact

Stopped playing when they decided to paywall mount accessibility.

The crazy thing is the game is fucking great for new players. I started and had a freaking blast leveling and doing expeditions. Did the expansion content and got the artifacts I wanted. It’s the endgame and lack of content after all of that.

The only thing that stops me from playing is the same thing that stopped me from playing ESO, I can't keep going into a server at 200+ ping with horrible desync. Server problems can be worked on and improved to perfection but if the desync doesn't change the game is dead for anyone that wants to play regularly.

Crafter - when the crafting got nerfed and got to where you couldn't craft for your character it killed the game.

I hate the fact that mechanics, visuals and systems in this game are so good but at the same time I don't feel like doing them is worth much...

Redo Sandbox Coop game to MMO was a bad idea

queue times for dungeons were INSANE!!

If their big announcement is swimming and a PVP island imma be pissed af. I also hope the announcement isn't about a console release, because that's not new content that would bring me back to the game. A great feature, but not content. I want to see them circulate more transmog tokens to create a better fashion scene, and rework all the housing (add wallpapers, flooring, etc.) for a better decorating scene (and more housing options, each territory has a big ass tier 5 looking house thats closed off). Merge storage from all towns and create a wider inventory UI so it's not just 2 long ass columns of loot we cant organize. Merge the auction house between all servers, I am so sick of seeing so many empty pages and stupid overpriced resources because only 1 person is selling mats.

Amazing! Swimming! I can't wait to see such revolutionary mechanic added to this game. This game never left Beta, i feel like i bought an half cooked pizza with the wrong toppings and now the chef told me he is going to finish cooking it and serve it to me back after i ate a slice and said it sucks.

I and a friend are looking for an MMO to play over this summer. We haven't really played any of the "Big 5" MMOs and most of what we played resides in little known and mostly forgotten games like Spiral Knights. Any recommendations?

Once it got controller support I figured it was only a matter of time before it goes to console

I read the title as "Real Worlds BIG announcement" and you could guess my confusion.

if items drop on death and i mean everything then they're gonna have to add in a runescape like safe item thing to it.

Would say it’s good timing because of the drama with Hell Divers 2 and other games. But there’s still Palworld, Lethal Company, Stellar Blade, and eventually Elden Rind DLC they’ll have to compete with. Don’t think these changes are enough. It’s a good time to be a gamer.

Albion's player base is 90% off steam, around 50-60% are using native client and ~30% are mobile users

Been waiting since 2002 ( runescape ) for a major mmo to expand or re- introduce inventory drop pvp. insane how big it was in RS and how no one has ever really done it since.

To play you need to buy game and if you want progress more you need to buy DLC, that will be in future company main point to focus, to create more DLC for you to must buy to gain more lvls and GS... that cut lots of players from game..

idk i think everyone should take notice that fresh start servers are always big jump of playercount. I myslef love fresh starts in mmo rpgs, and i would be fan of yearly wiped servers, or just fresh start servers every year or every 6 months (ofc if they dont want to wipe them, they should at least merge them constantly when player count is decreasing) I think it would give the game regular players that like fresh starts like me and i would jump to the game untill i get bored again and again every time when fresh start servers arrive.

Seems like testing for their LOTR franchise

I didn't know anyone was still playing this. I keep forgetting this game exist.

For the price new world is a great game. If u dont approach it as a forever game and just as a regular game that u reach an end point and move to another its actually fantastic. Its the live service part without a monthly payment to support further development thats a prob. It cant decide what it wants to be. But for the money? Damn good game

I feel like creating a drop loot on death feature could fix the problem of nobody farming the bosses that drop artifacts once they've obtained them

They fixed a lot of the desync in this last patch. It's not janky anymore.

The moment they released paid DLC for what was essentially a beta version of the game i uninstalled and simply cut my losses.

Server population numbers is, imo, the single most important thing for an mmo. without it, nobody will stay. You need enough that players are constantly around, but not so many that everything is camped and can't be done. High pop servers with layers for overcrowded zones is a must

Once I hit 60 and I realized the leveling system, All the crafting and gear, I just gave up. Way too f****** tedious for me...

during the beta with VoIP enabled, and everyone playing it was amazing. Even with the bugs and shit quests it was fun af, would love to see a 2.0 of this fix the bugs

we need boats, we need naval combat, this game has so many pirate stuff but NO BOATS?? WTF

They need to fix the dungeon party for all server can que.

Is the console release gonna create cross play between pc and consoles?

Neat. I bet we still cant swim though.

So they are adding a PvP region now? Years after release? Maybe in some attempt to pull back players they ejected during the alpha game direction shift? "Lawless zones" were a hot topic, even during alpha, and even more so after the game direction pivot some ~6 months prior to the first launch date.

If there are valuable resources, people would still create parties in discord or create non aggresion pacts if large number of people just to harvest them.

Hope they turn it around. I would like to play it again. But there is just not much exciting endgame content and they messed it up in the beginning with crazy bugs und gold dupes. The basics are there with the sounds, music, graphics etc. and when I watch my saved videos I really started to miss the game and enjoyed my 300 hours a lot.

How does studio backed by amazon not have enough resources? Mind boggling…

My dad and I were super into New World at launch, playing every day, questing together, doing high level trains together and so on. For us here's what stopped us from wanting to play step by step: 1. The streamers. Some brought in a bunch of super toxic people that the game refused to deal with, brought in a constant level of drama, and resulted in our server having an unbalanced number of people in each faction which made it extremely difficult to get and keep territory. 2. The update that nerfed healers into the ground to a point where I was basically redundant; I would have been a bigger help to my faction and company if I just made and passed out health potions 24/7. 3. The changes they made that made trains pretty much redundant which caused the community to fragment, it was fun the way it was; you could run around with a bunch of random people, healers would heal people, when finished at one section you'd have many people helping the downed players up and then continuing on. 4. The changes they made to gear/loot drops. It was grindy already, they didn't have to do this. It made weeks straight of grinding feel like it was for nothing instantly. After the 4th change I started looking through forum posts only to see staff/developers replying to players who were understandably not happy with the most ridiculous and disrespectful, dismissive responses I've ever seen. I lost pretty much any remaining hope I had for the game at that point because the staff seemed completely clueless on the PR front let alone the development end, and if anything New World just made me want to go back to playing RuneScape at that point lol. So I did. Left, later uninstalled and it's been sitting in my library collecting dust ever since. No regrets, even RS3 is better than NW anyways.

they couldnt get this on console due to how unoptimized it was on release... so hopefully with a console release (if real) means an optimized patch

I like how he felt that he needed to explain that big events are a good place to announce stuff.... lmfao.

Desync hasn't been an issue for over a year, from open world to opr to wars

I didn’t feel I would invest time in my server because in 2 weeks it could be dead and I have a kid I can’t invest time to do the same shit over and over again. So fuck it.

at release i ve started up from those zones and now each New World zone is end game zone, trash managment from the amazon side, hired/fired system at ags studio needs to be addressed. by the way Asmon to keep game running and going afk isnt almost 2k gameplay hours lol

there should have always been an place/island that had best resources thats all pvp. to make people wanna guard their high rank gathers

both players, the new one and the old one, will be happy about this.

I tried to play New World, bought it because my brother convinced me to give it a try. I got bored pretty fast, it just did not hook me at all. I was already cautious with the game because a class and decent mount being gated behind a paid DLC is a bad sign.

I honestly like the game... i hope it gets to where it should be one day. I kind the style of combat, even with its issues.

Anytime you get a bunch of people in one area it’s a janky mess. It’s laggy as hell and no matter how much I keep upgrading my internet speeds and regardless of me running a Ethernet connection the Devs just blame my internet over and over. I’m now at the point of having the business grade 10000 mb/s internet speeds package.

This game has my absolute favorite controls of the get go and also the movement is top notch

Alot of the desync was fixed when they changed the combat code! I think the experience has improved a lot since launch compared to what azmon is saying. At the same time the content could deff use some more improvement.

I think that New World could be saved if they fix enough stuff (not realm reborn level, no dev team should crunch like that) and release it consoles. Make it available on Gamepass and PlayStation plus a while after console release. Also it would need crossplay

The fact that the New World team is going to be working on the upcoming new Lord of the Rings MMO doesn't exactly instill me with much confidence in the project... it will be interesting to see if it can compete with the existing MMO, Lord of the Rings Online, which released in 2007 and still has a stable population of players.

When they say swimming... don't say Oh finally! Rather How much swimming are talking about!

the "mmo" that is only for the hardest of hardcore cheaters and trolls with null integrity, because not only is is cheaply made and full of bugs, but devs were dumb enough to make the only bug report function a PUBLIC ubb-forum, so that EVERY bug and exploit could spread much faster than anyone could not care less to fix it or rollback any effects.

If there's a full loot element to this zone it would add so much more content and fun for pvp and pve players. Items would mean more and be more valuable which would be good for every aspect of the game! Really excited about this!

This game reminds me of anakin as ben said " you was the chosen one!"...

9:48 Weeheeeee I've been waiting for this since launch. - Year One Supporter - 🧘‍♂

Also seems like they are just trying to get as much experience as possible before releasing their new Lord of the Rings MMO.

New world’s combat, with ESO’s world/lore and SWTOR’s dialogue and quests would be the best MMO.

Console and the PVP zone was suppose to be during Season 5 road map they kept failing and kept pushing it back, that's why there is no content cause they don't know how to design any and when they do fail to implement it

Still can’t log onto the server without paying to server swap

I hope it comes to console, I've wanted it for so long and the UI is setup easily for controller/console

I’m on console and currently play FF14 (3800hrs), so just a casual. I’ve done ESO (3000hrs) and BDO (less said the better) and I’m yet to understand why I should play New World at all, maybe I’m just stupid. PvP is for a minority of people and I hate full loot s&@t. So unless there is a trial on PlayStation (if released) and it’s longer than 2hrs, I’ll just stick to watching vids and playing what I enjoy. But good luck to the devs all the same.

A year of not being able to keep an Azoth Staff in my inventory, with hours and hours of research as to why, and hours spent trying to get help through these guys, I gave up. I really loved this game but I was one of those with the Azoth Staff bug. They not once answered my questions or acknowledged I existed.

My PC crashes every time I log into New World and nothing I’ve done has fixed it. I want to love this game so much but I literally can’t play it reliably.

Swimming sounds great...but I hope there's a reason to do it. Ideally swimming is a side affect to actual content, like pirate ship warfare where you get knocked from your ship, or treasure island chest runs involving swimming through shortcuts or along rivers. Needs something other than just...you can swim now. I hope it does become a skill, more high skilled can swim faster, breathe longer, dive deeper etc.

I've never played a game where it was so easy to troll people as this game. Whenever i would stand still, someone would aggro an enemy, stand next to me. I would then take damage. Sometimes, dickheads would decide to follow me around and loot half of the enemies i killed. I remember when they added voicechat and kids would scream in theirmicrophones for everyone nearby to hear... All this would never happen if the mechanics weren't so broken.

I for one quitted bc of gameplay, do not know how to explain it but it is weird ,I would rather had the wow combat or terra (combat gameplay was fucking great in that game) ,their combat gameplay its something new but I feel its broken, I didn't mind the empty world I wouldn't probably play after getting to some end game, but as it stands now I played a bit at start gave up, came for greatsword then gave up .If they don't do mega servers they should do something like companions to experience the dungeons solo, that I think will add some more hours for some people especially when they have some chain quest tied to dungeons.

makes a bunch of swimming puns and references. everyone gets excited for swimming being added in big announcement: POOLS CLOSED!!

The crafting was so good imo.

developers have the budget for this game to be better. Certain things need adding and certain other things need improving

gotta buy the expansion too

I bought this game and never figured out how to download it lol completely forgot about it after that

I play new world everyday still, que times are rough sometimes for dungeons high end of 20 mins... But other than that I still have alot of fun, I don't consider the game dead by any means

Albion Online, actually has over 100k concurrent players nowdays. Mobile and its own launcher.

The only way i would play new world again is if they rework the combat because it is way to janky especially in end game

There just isnt enough content and smoothness to the game for it to bring back alot of original players

I think new world gameplay base is kinda fine, but they build terrible quest, terrible history, and every nice mechanic has a issue that they are not fixing. For example the crafting system, is kinda nice, but the shop and dugeons make the system kinda useless until you max level. Where you use it a little bit and then becomes kinda useless again. The dungeons are not bad, but you need to redo them until you go crazy, and just some dungeons are userfull, others you cant find players and maybe never gonna play. If you want a set to craft better items you need to farm a hidden especific mob like crazy to have a 1% chance to drop. They could drop that in the dungeon boses and make every dungeon userfull, but no, boses drop items that are just userfull in the level, but because you up like crazy the dungeon is useless. The combat also is not bad, but the one winning is the one who farmed all max level items, and to get the items you need to do the PVP, where you gonna die to the people who farmed the items

I love this games dungeons (expedition mutations). I think they offer what WoW does but a bit better at least for me. The problem is the population just not being there as well as missing some of that extra aspirational stuff. Theres one raid in brimstone that is massively out of date, no other raid... Mutation aspirational only is M3 has the difficulty of like.... +7 weekly cap of WoW (so if 15 is max gear than 22 would be about the difficulty of M3)... IMO has some amazing ideas with mutations/mechanics and scaling it just needs the population and a little more of the aspirational content to really make it playable. Right now you wont find any lobbies and its kind of sad. Expeditions are really up there in terms of content, easily 10/10 for me. The gear leveling is also an issue for me. For some reason you can get 700 Ilevel gear kind of all over the place and it is not specific to any one area. M2 is 675-700 loot that can drop but M3 is 695-700. You can also just flat craft/buy 700 gear as well with the perks you wanted from whatever item drops. Im all for alternative paths and doing things and what not, but there really needs specificity. Why run really hard content if you can just buy/craft or chance m2 to 700 gs? And the difference between a 690 or even a 685 piece between a 700 is not that huge. Just a couple quips I have is all.

Not running around this world without controller support

Good end game content doesn't repopulate the earlier zones. It would still feel bad for new players if a bunch of returning players came back. I also don't get into MMO's 2-3+ years past their launch because why would I want to start a competitive game at a 5000 hour disadvantage.

Another thing about new world is all of the gear u get except for maybe 2 pieces. it just looks like shit or beyond goofy. And even the mtx cosmetics look like shit. And this is the least of their worries tbh.

1:47 - got over 1k hours in this game and this nails it

It's crazy they couldnt make the game run on PS5 when all the calculations done on the server side. I get Xbox Series S is challenging but come on.

Id wish they do season resets, would make me wanna go back to playing the game again

Incompetent Lead dev, making a "PvP" MMO oriented, to then release it into a PvE focused MMO, to then unrestrain PvP design again... Garbage. These guys have no idea how a core MMORPG matter and how community works, and they are lead dev, this is astonishing.

they should take notes from albion online with their pvp zones and loot teirs/locations the two games already have a lot of similarities

Do they have private servers? Private servers with just a whole group of people would be nice

Studio will be close soon!

Full loot PvP please
