So no content for another 5 months? After a contentless 8 months 🤦🏻‍♂️

sloth they legit dug their own grave amazon games is acting soooo bad marketing wise, communication etc. its like a 2 person company who are trolling a huge community... idk im fking mad

In ither words, NW is a console game that was in open beta on PC for 3 years. Got it

Games GG. I quit months ago with just under 3k hours. It's not going to get better, the content drought, horrible quest design, and everything else wrong will attribute to it's downfall. To think they hinted and made it seem like this June announcement was something huge and it's literally like 3 minor things, it's laughable... AGS need to be relegated to a publishing only role, they have proven they cannot make games. T&L + Blue Protocol should have been out by now...

Why were we expecting more. Because as existing PC players we told there is a Huge Announcement in June. And when the announcement got tehre it was about console players, nothing do with us. It's not huge announcement to us but they said it was huge. False advertisment!

This game is filled with so much content that everyone rushes through, They had a rough start but there is always something to do. They can do better, but The potential is there for a growing player base to grasp.

As I've supported you on patreon, I'm guessing they are now paying you. Admittedly this is nothing. What they offered is so little. W 3250 hours myself. This announcement is full of fail again and again. They have proved failures again and again.

Why do we need to up our gear already? Will there be another new grind to make new material?

there’s nobody even in my server to play with most the time i can’t find a group to do anything at all

I hear gw2 is poppin

Pve wise, there is nothing, there is this 3 raid boss that gives BIS stuff, if its time gated then its little to no content, if its not, ppl will spam it first week till they have what they wanted. 3boss/year aint enough

So if this area we are getting for the FFA is within Cutless then it doesnt need to be called a "New Zone". Zones are large areas like Cutlass, Weavers, Windsward.....etc. So when stating we are geting a new zone dont exspect it to be a zone. . Its more like a small area withing a zone.

After watching some of the AGS release videos, I thought to myself that I would have explained things better and differently and was thinking of several specific examples during the video. Thanks for further explanations and gathering all the info from the various spread out sources. Really helpful. You keep making them, I'll keep watching them specifically because they are to the point, even when you add your thoughts and opinions. It's one of the reasons I watch you over Jay/New World Oddity.

From now until the release of New World on consoles, the development team should pause the whole game so that no one can play at all and wait for the console release. This way, the developers can fix all the problems on both the console and PC without any stress. They can maintain and fix the same bugs while players are not playing. Focus on pausing to fix the servers, making them more stable, and improving the whole game. Additionally, it would be a great idea to have a big live conference with the developers, either online or at some location. Players and content creators can ask hard questions live without any censorship. It should be a transparent and unscripted session, listening to ideas live and not cherry-picking questions. Answer new and old ideas from players. Also, consider adding regular updates behind the scenes from the developers' perspectives and progress reports more often. Daily updates on what they have done throughout the day, including fixing, improvements, and additions, will keep the community informed and engaged. This will help build trust and show that the developers are actively working on improvements and listening to the community. It will reassure players that the developers are not repeating the same mistakes."

Man, youtube is just now sending me notifications from you again. It’s been awhile but I'm glad to see you're still putting in the work. Hope you've been well!

At first they under they don't do enough to advertise they hype from Brimstone and Elysian Wilds, they say we want hype for June, 2024. And they give us console and rebranding for 5 months down the road. They totally jebaited us. They need to start matching good hype with good stuff to hype in a timely manner.

Glad for the breakdown! I was confused about the announcement lol but i just waited for someone like youself to help me figure it out 😂

Sloth, I 100% believe you, but did they actually state somehwere were getting fresh start? I'm so hyped for that!

Great video again, compiles everything proper! Thank you for that work One quick vent on the announcement: The fact that they were speaking directly to the PC players in their dev videos, telling us that there was something HUGE for us in June, making it sound like some sort of big improvements to PC side of the game. Whereas in reality, it was just a marketing ploy to hype everyone up and keep them hanging on (for the ones that are), so they could announce a rebranding and launch to PS5... They are ABSOLUTELY disconnected from their fanbase/long term players and rightfully so, the remainder are pretty upset with how they navigated this announcement.

3:29 is the only detail I'm interested to hear more about. But I doubt they've put much thought into it and think it'll remain the same bottom priority gamemode it is today.

The GS increase pisses me off. I recently upgraded my gear up to 700!! So it's gonna be obsolete?? Especially since I prefer named gear. Or do we get to upgrade that gear with more Seals?? Which is a pain to get

Very interesting to see both sides. From my discord and IRL friends that have console they couldn’t be more excited which obviously is going to be good for Amazon. However of course, myself being a pc player since release of the game it is a giant let down but with the bigger picture it is a massive update for this type of mmo releasing on console with cross play. That being said, it is super frustrating the lack of content for pc players and PvP as a whole but I also understand porting this size of a game and mmo that is crossplay to console a huge task.

NW is lucky there isn't much else to play or anything reasonable launching this year. I also really doubt they can do a free-for-all zone properly, they are typically done wrong and become either nearly empty or 'so-and-so company moves in to farm' for a couple hours. Ah well, I guess at least it is still going and gets worked on.

I was hoping they would do something really cool with swimming like underwater resource nodes or lost cargo chests that you could open for gold,resources,etc I also think It would be cool if the raid came with a 20-30 man version at some point if not at release with harder mechanics and maybe even raid specific items one from each boss that's not an artifact and has a low drop chance but is really powerful and has a unique skin I do have two concerns at the moment my first one is with the matchmaking why would they test it with arena when arena is basically dead because it doesn't have crossworld functionality yet? (or does it have crossworld now?) my second concern is with the gear score bump there is so much content and so many items that are still at 625 I'm concerned that if they bump the gear score even higher that all the 625 content and items will either never get updated and it will remain essentially dead content or it will take them an extremely long time to fully update everything because they will also have to update all the current viable content up to the new gear score increase also what does this new gear score increase mean for crafters? how will crafters be able to make items at the new gear score will we have to craft or acquire a certain ingredient and if so how hard and expensive is this ingredient to aquire? I'm hoping to get answers in the next dev update I'm sure it will be a very "interesting" update thanks for video Duke it's nice to have some clarification on the situation!

Hopefully at some point they will bump the level of the items you get from most of the other content in the game so that it's meaningful again since at this point most of the expeditions don't drop usable gear as their primords for running that expedition

As a PC player since launch this game really does feel like its finally getting out of beta. It truly feels like a betrayal that they purposefully ignored PC and just went straight to addressing the console players to boost their player numbers. One of the worst company decisions imo. Console players have social media and reddit. They will see the backlash and the problems new world has before they try it making the numbers AGS were hoping for, less likely.

Is Character name changing coming?

always clear & precise, Thanks Sloth !

4+ months of "Wait for June for a major announcement" and when June rolls around, it's now "Wait until October 15th" for anything to really show up. Basically, 2024 is a BUST for New World. I feel that the PC gamers have basically been paid beta testers for a console game and Lord of the Rings. EVERYTHING you mentioned will ALSO be available for console players, so to say "There is content for PC players" is a bit misleading.

@dukesloth the fact that youre not getting paid and still making detailed content for those still hanging on is awesome. It shows your appreciation for us that remain and i just wanted to tell you that youre very appreciated as well by this random internet stranger and the nw community! Thank you sir

@DukeSloth what you mean " OK amount " its 1 year waiting for that " OK " content. What parts of it is fucking Swimming!!! Swimming is not fucking content!

Thank you for making things clear. AGS should have done this for us. Thumbs up.

Duke, this is for a full year of waiting. Of course we expected much more. Brimstone update had more stuff, and that same year had regular updates every 3 months.

6:44 Will my level 65 character carry over to New World Aternum? 🥺

3:00 in the new clip, players appear swimming to the new pvp zone. in this video at 3:35.

If I have it on Steam, will it be free on my PS5?

Im beginning to think that Amazon hired the wrong people, they just seem like amateurs.

will arenas be cross server / platform?

Thanks for addressing the PC player content specifically. I definitely think they should have specifically announced that separately.

i think the barbar shop is already in archtype all have different new hairstyle etc

As someone who plays this game for 1100 hours in the Sutekh server and paid all season pass. I doubt I'll play this game again. I will still check out this game on release date though.

All fine but man, October?! FFS...

You know this would be a great patch if they add these things: Something for small guilds to do. Like guild houses and farmining in your own house. 2 new opr maps 2 new modes on all 3 maps 1 new arena map And this would be still only a normal patch after 1 year

The que thing was mentioned a year ago and it is a permanent transfer.

What does matchmaking in arena mean? Isn't arena already matchmaking? Isn't arena 3v3?

8:08 id say CK getting a pvp and mini rework in the look crosses that one off lol so you get +1 point

Thanks for fishing that all out... You shouldn't have had to. Some was in the chat, like the gfx engine, but it was barely a line.

I am soooo down for a PvP only zone. Since they made open world PvP optional and reduced rewards nobody does it anymore, it was sooo fun on launch. Hopefully I can be more competitive in PvP without the expertise system too.

Are they increasing GS yet again? I literally just got to 700…

Duke Grüße aus Deutschland freue mich immer wenn ein Video von dir erscheint

I feel bad for people that watched the announcement and still plan to keep playin afterwards.

The Problem is the 4 Months until then , not the content itself

see mounts are still paywalled :(

Without balance in PvP I don't see that zone.

Hmm.

I saw the announcement and legit thought they made a new game built out of NW that was only a single player experience.

Gotta admit, having a long history of 100-1000 OPR stomps asking for some kind of matchmaking or team balancing only to finally grant an MMR system....to Arena, the mode they killed so hard it takes asking in global chat to pop, is very funny. Like a grim Joaquin Phoenix "Joker" funny, but still funny.

You're right everyone's expectations shouldn't have been that high. Get used to it too. AGS will never be good enough.

The reason PC players are pissed is because AGS made numerous videos talking about how there will be HUGE changes coming and while there wont be any new content for 6 months the June announcement will make it all worth it. We expected a lot because THEY THEMSELVES said there would be. The only copium here is the fact people actually believed AGS yet again. They lied to the PC players. No way around that

I watched your full vid and am now 3.2% less disappointed than i was after the ign vid.

So that's because the Devs despise the players Duke. I felt the spit in the face way back when they gave us the horse emote.

Atleast give us a new zone or a reworked one

Ill always love the game, Maybe Console players will just enjoy the game as it is :) The Pvp zone being added along with the raid is very exciting, i understand why the wait could anger some people... But shaping the game for console and working on the code like they said they did takes up a ton of time.

Its not no content but imagine, it should be new stuff and should make good the 6-9month waiting for the past seasons where we didnt get content at all. How can we not get cocky about it? They promised that with the announcement everything will be cleared and we will understand. Nothing has changed for us. We still need to collec tthe information from different variants of sources like you said, we have no specific information what will be new for us. Its purely focused on new console players. Dont you understand that a lot of players feel betrayed? If you see on Steam whos downvoting the games, theres a lot of people having over 1k hours. And some over 5k. Ofcourse its very less compared to console players, but why do you pull such a marketing move, if should know that the backslash of the PC Community will be very rough.

Lol was the new world trailer revealed and shown at the Xbox showcase tho? Sooo it's focus on console makes sense 🙄

New World is game now just to login when its new content out finish in one week and delete game. Every year like that.

I dont understand the disappointment, its only logical they want to focus energy on console. It will be a huge benefit for the existing community. My prediction is that nw will explode to an average 150k players for 5 years atleast

A HOY Duke PAX Dei 18 JUNE be there or suffer in Aeternum um um um. 18 JUNE. Devs are developing whilst we play the game. Its beautiful. Bug fixes almost happen in the live chat. Come and be an actual part of the build of an amazing thing. Not Just another number in the stat chart. Did I say 18 JUNE.

Everyone knew it was coming to console, so the secrecy snd teasing over a huge announcement, everyone filled in the blanks.

JFC, I hope they paid you, Duke. Not sure I can watch any more like this. Sad for me, as I've always thought you consistently produced great content.

Literally every update sounds awesome i don't understand what people are whining about

All these new features just sound like they took ideas content that eso and ffxiv do and just added it. Im kinda excited about it to see how ags implements its. None of this seems bad it justthe lack of communication and information ags has given us. Their marketing team sucks ass. But i think they expected this reaction and knew the player base was going to go ape shit. I really hope im wrong but i dont see this game going any further when LotRs comes out. Im stay until i get perma banned or the servers shut down.

I wish they would just ditch the GS system and make gear progression linear, same as GW2. They are already messing with perk balance every patch....increasing GS does nothing but put players back in a gear farm fest. Just add new perks and system with expansions

So nothing untill october. awesome

Some of the things you shared are not confirmed by devs of have any information anywhere, just some community speculation. Nice job trying to protect your source of income.

Doing AGS's job for them.

Games done, they'll squeeze the consoles for whatever cash they can and then GG.

Get gear all over again, just what we need lol.

Lol. C'mon, this was a clickbait vid. Period. 😂 You got me

AGS struggles with updates for PC, console updates will require certification to make sure the game isn't going to do damage to the console. My prediction is they are hoping that console will bring them enough money to keep the game alive, it won't. A year after console release the game will have done so badly that Amazon will have to shut down the servers. Console players will likely have to buy the game, and a keyboard with a mouse. The controller support wasn't smooth and I felt like putting down the controller to use mouse and keyboard, sometimes things didn't work, I think console players will demand a refund shortly after trying to control their character.

How much they pay you?

In all seriousness, if you expected more, you fooled yourself

Fresh start means I'm back in.

They did this delay every fkin year

Steam reviews are now “overwhelmingly negative”. 😂

Nobody will play S6 and the GS increase will crash the market now everyone hordes mats and gold for 5 months

I'm sorry, but where is a decent amount of content? it's all we get for a year of waiting? And this should be enough for the next year?

You know you’re starving and thirsty for content when you’ve been anxiously awaiting a KZfaq video from Dukesloth. On that note, if AGS isn’t paying Dukesloth, they should start.

Console players also get the classic aim help shit for musket and bow? Would be funny to see how this noobs play against pc players in pvp without it

Im sure this "content" will keep the players for atleast a day or two(im only talking about the 10-20 players that might still be playing the game by the time this gets released)😂 But overall this is a joke.Damn they finaly found a solution for ques thats exactly what was needed back when the game was still ALIVE LOL not now. But hey its just NW dev team doing dev things as per usual. Checked recent steam reviews and boy oh boy gamers are mad big time. The game could have been saved if they did changed entire dev team 2 years ago, now its over.

The game has less than 6k players average , it will bleed out even more until october, this looks like a cash grab before they shut it down eventually, not much involvement from their part and also NO roadmap. Looks clear to me.

constantly wanting an ilvl increase is not good for this game. It doesnt work like WoW or FF14. Just a terrible idea for new players and just makes them have to grind insane amounts of gold before even being able to participate.

new world rise of the private servers

im never playing this game again... if anyone has read the actual updates by now... they are locking people out who dont have the absolute dogshit of a dlc from future updates by the sounds of it!!!

I see you moved on from Smite content.

pleaase change devs plz

stopped playing 4-5 months

This is what we waited for 8months? I’m out

as someone who eagerly awaited their announcement, i thought it was pretty good. I think maybe the negative reaction was how they announced these things, like you said, kinda hidden throughout their 30 minute dev update video. Having to wait for october however is super rough, after already having to "wait for june" for the past 6 months so that feedback is understandable.

man i love when im right. as i said in the comments in the last video. nothing but more disappointment
