The Failure Of New World In 2024 (Aeternum)

Рет қаралды 2,931

Күн бұрын

MMO New World Aeternum had horrible marketing and neglected its current player base on PC until damage control occurred. The MMO is set to launch on console, but has underwent a lot of drama as of late for asking its community to wait just for a console announcement whilst also being told to then wait until October. Player numbers continue to slowly die down further and further even from where they were last time I covered the population. Is New World Aeternum enough? 2024 has not been a good ride for players.

I wanted to do this video not to just kick NW while it’s down, but for full transparency incase some people subscribed purely just for New World and waiting on more builds. As someone who has mained the game and done so much content, I felt a follow up from me was warranted after the console news and community feedback. My previous video on console release was strictly informational so I wanted to give an opinionated take and maybe provide a reference for new players coming soon. I don’t want to see the game fail and hope the population spike in October makes the mmo competitive Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed

I dont think the Amazon game studios are using new world as a learning experience for LOTR mmo, I just genuinely think they're incompetent and forced to make an mmo game despite having no experience. Made worse so by the fact that the game blew up *too fast* . The fact that they consistently shift their game's focus leads me to believe they have no coherent vision of what they want this game to be, that's what is killing this game. If your game has no vision then there will be no content focus and no content focus on an MMO means no players, because MMO players are looking for "forever games" not nothing games.

@Nyce-Gaming 18 күн бұрын

Well said even if everyone doesn’t agree with the vision, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VISION. They rushed the game out with a “I’ll fix it later” mentality and it’s crazy. They have had soo many focuses and identities and now they are saying ARPG…

@DefiantWun 18 күн бұрын

This video is right on point. With over 7K hours (not including Alpha/Beta/PTR) and an embarrassing amount of real money spent; I’m officially on hiatus. The truth of the matter is, the “re-brand/relaunch” of the game in October is completely catered to the possible new audience of console players. Likewise, that version of the game is the version it should have been when it first launched; at bare minimum. Essentially, what that means is: “WE,” the pc players, were nothing more than mere BETA testers this whole time. Most of us, want (or wanted) this game to succeed…. But the “let down” history is amazingly horrific. All I have left one word: Betrayed!

@whoismatthewyoung 17 күн бұрын

By the time October comes around there will be nobody playing PC side. All the good players are gone and those remaining are either new or coping hard. I imagine when console releases, those players will want to be on fresh start servers. And going off of their history of not delivering, ags cross platform might not work. I'll be playing Chivalry 2 and GTA5 if anyone out there is looking for a teammate.

The playerbase as of now doesn't matter. They're relaunching the game in Oct, and people will come back either way. Will it also disappoint? Probably.

My biggest issue with new world is the combat feels subpar compared to most other popular mmos like it gets repetitive and boring fast. But ya on top of that there's not much to do. Once you invest time into it. I always go back to ffxiv cause there's so much content. Why play jew world when you can play 2 entire expansions of ffxiv with what I would argue has better combat flow even though it's tab target

@GP-ur6if 18 күн бұрын

Video/your opinion 💪. My two cents: AGS has no idea how to do PR haha. The minor upside is that NW will continue since they are doing console and so NW will live on... but with no new content until October (very lame) and they clearly treat their current player base (PC) extremely poorly. That said, NW should be far better off than it is, AGS management is to blame (IMO). Too much to say really... ah well. I still play NW, not a ton but I play. Why? Nothing else to play and I enjoy the combat. If I had a minor wish, I'd wish for someone to restart WAR, that is how lame MMO land is now. An old outdated MMO with no PvE is better (at least from a PvP player's perspective). I know WAR has a private server but it is EU and the ping is too low for me to enjoy PvP. I guess I could use that minor wish to make NW a more complete MMO but AGS doesn't deserve that.

@Nyce-Gaming 18 күн бұрын

Yea I believe just being on console alone will make population better than it’s been since maybe Elysian wilds launch. I just wonder if pc players will feel too disrespected to do their part. Population could solve a lot of issues but I’m curious if July will see like 4k daily peaks 😫

This is what happens when the endgame core systems tied to pvp, such as the town system, get undermined by a shift in the design direction to pve. But NW had no pve endgame upon launch and it takes more than a year to create one. This is the biggest reason why op-in pvp will not work in AoC. If no one has an incentive to conquer towns and change the world then the endgame might be less boring than NW end game yet still boring. You need pvp and you need pve. Thus, pvx. If you don't have both you don't have a reason to play. This was NW failure. Unfortunately, the game engine, Lumberyard, was unable to handle open world pvp or even isolated pvp modes. I don't think they had a choice to shift towards being more pve focused. The pvp game design was doomed from the start due to technological limitations that experienced game developers would have recognized early on. They pivoted too late in the games development and had no hired pve designers on staff.

The concole release is a final cas grab for NW. At the same time a testing grounds for LOTR. Yet at this point majority of people who played NW will be very careful about anything AGS will do in the future. For 3 years they are failing again and again with everything they try to do. I came back once elysian wilds came out just to find a broken MSQ for the update and azoth staff not working. How the actual fuck they release a "game saving content" with these major bugs and then dont fix them for weeks? The game may not be dead yet, but at this point even the blind can see it has no future. They failed to create a player base and there are new and likely better games on the horizon. Time has simply run out.

My comment was not appropriate at all and I want to apologize for that. 2) AGS completely fooled me to think we would get more content geared towards current players. And in the end, I was the idiot who lacked critical thinking skills. Not you. And even if it turned out different, I still would have been in the wrong with that comment.
