Appreciating New World and AGS

Discussion

Going through this reddit section feels like the game is shit, but at the same time people be playing over 300 hours and are still playing to this day. Yes, this game has flaws and yes some things could be better.

​

"Upcoming war" popping up everytime after closing it?

God fucking damnit, literally unplayable. Good they fixed it tho.

​

Progressing slower?

Good, I dont feel like every person should have every trade skill on 200 or 600 GS. Imagine having everything you want. You going to get bored and eventually quit the game.

​

Activate PvP to get advantage looting/gathering

Totally fair, you go into a risk/reward mode. WAIT you think it's unfair because you play solo in a MMORPG? Okay dude.

​

GA FUCKING BROKEN

Fair point, ranting is always easier than actually looking for a different playstyle. I have friends that play musket rapier and are totally fine with the weapons. Instead of blaming the system you could change yourself - either adapt or play the meta. Why change yourself, when the game is shit? Idk maybe it's easier and more realistic than praying to god to change the world. Also you train your brain to think around the corner, which is healthy and community friendly.

​

Lags in PvP

Reasonable rant. It's easier to say "get better Servers" than to actually do get better Servers. Give them time they will find a solution - Im sure.

​

My point is: Most people think they are the centre of mass and if they dont like it, they try to convince people to not like it too. Some flaws are commonly shared and some flaws are exclusivs. Either way don't hate AGS and New World for it. Write a theoretical or subtil critism, don't hate speech on the Devs. They are working and they are working hard. As an outsider it's always easy to see a fix.

I played over 380 horses and enjoyed every damn second of this game. I'm a mix of a social and competitive player and experienced both PvE and PvP content. I had time where I suffered ^((farming Flutter for 5h straight)) and times I enjoyed ^((seeing Myrkgard Thorpes oneshotting 20 people at the elite chest)), but if I would ask myself, would I buy and play this game again? Hell fucking yeah.

Rule 1: We are all humans.

Just be more tolerable, appreciate every moment and have fun playing a video game. If you don't like this game then continue on with your live without leaving a hate speech - so unnecessary.

Thank you Amazon Games for New World and keep up the good work. I'm hyped to continue playing tonight. I write horses instead of hours idk maybe datamined dunno.

PS: Think back and comment the moments you enjoyed the most. It's a RPG so I think there are plenty stories you can tell.

This doesn't work anymore. Game studios realized they make more money releasing early, patching out negative press and throwing bones.

New World could have cooked for one more year and would still come out with multiple day 1 exploits and broken core loops. Sometimes studios need a fire under their ass before they make changes.

Is the game fun? Obviously. There are so many still playing after 2 duplication exploits, massive bugs, and copy/pasted content. The world has so much potential.

I had faith AGS could pull through but the second dupe followed by stealth nerfs on crafting and chest runs is disrespectful. I don't condone hate speech but tolerance is followed by apathy. Not a good sign for a healthy MMO.

Do you have any idea how gaming used to be before digital distribution? You dropped $60-70 on a game and if it was buggy…tough shit. Look up superman 64 and get back to me..

beef_or_dirt•

Of course I remember. Isn't the point of past knowledge to learn and adapt? AGS is repeating rookie mistakes on a gem of a base game. It's sad to watch.

Your argument to me reads, 'ignorance is bliss.'

thestereofield•

My argument is that the expectations of gamers for hundreds of hours of flawless entertainment for $40 is just slightly ridiculous.

1
beef_or_dirt•

So you're saying we should have expected dupes, bugs & poor gameplay in a AAA MMO because it was only $40? Do you have any idea how business works?

Riot does a better job of balancing, patching and content creation. Guess how much Riot games cost - and they still get lots of criticism.

Stop making excuses for terrible end game being made more terrible to extend it. Stop making excuses for the Devs not being out front about their changes in the patch notes. The game was already a slog, telling people to suck it up and deal with it is giving the devs a pass on bad ideas and under handedness. Posting this makes you look like a suck up and someone who doesn't think critically about what is actually going on.

Not saying to deal with it. But understand that things don't happen over night and they're actively fixing improving and trying out new things. Better if they left it unplayable and added nothing?

ALittleMadLad•

Better if they were truthful about major end game changes and out front about why they did them. Now, why would you trust a company that purposefully leaves out major information like nerfing drop rates and increasing the end game grind? They do not deserve appreciation for this.

Isnt this kind of thing the whole reason to have a ptr?

Seems kind of pointless to have one if you're adding stealth patches to live anyway when theres already been so much untested.

DEAD_ISLAND_IS_SCARY•

I'll have to re read patch notes to see if they mentioned it or not. But if it's tweaking rates like it's not like they've made it impossible. If you're hitting bosses AND chests with a group as it's intended I'm sure it'll take the same amount of time. Like if people are just skkipping those mobs and bosses for chests whats the point? May as well put the chests in Windsward and put it on a 12 hour timer.

I'm not saying it's good. But it's an MMO so it'll get tweaked for what they hope the game to be played as. A Cooperative experience...

How much does Amazon pay you?

They gave me a promise they will add horses. Enough for me.

yeah thanks amazon games for killing your game and making all those players who put 300+ hours into it feel like they have completely wasted their fucking time.

I had fun through all of my time, so no matter what happens the time wasn't wasted in anyway.

300 hours for £30 sounds like a bargain

No we demand unlimited entertainment. UNLIMITED!! Why should a single AGS dev enjoy a solid night’s sleep while I am sitting here unable to craft a 600 GS ice gauntlet?

A 600gs ice gauntlet won't give you unlimited entertainment. For £30 you get unlimited access to limited fun. Just like life

Piece of shit game with a garbage dev team that breaks 10 things for every bug they fix. Yesterday 2 wars totally lagged like day 1. 1 Month and this is still a thing. Uninstalled wont ever come back. Now i see why the game is losing 20k players each week. Im one of them. Good for you for enjoying a dead game. At this rate, they will merge every single server by christmas

Well said. They're actively updating and fixing to game along with tweaking. It comes with not always desirable choices to be tested. Fixes don't happen over night

1.05 was a decent patch to play on. Most things were kinda working. Sure weapon balance was meh, but if you didnt spec into dex for religious reasons you still could be relevant in most encounters. HWM farming was dull but steady progression, same with trade skills.

Around came 1.1... Performance is as low as release. They deleted items from ppl for no reason but stupidity. Dead servers are even more dead now. HWM farming is stupidly, stupidly more grindy, same with trade skills. Even faction tokens are massively time gated now with impossible pvp missions (capture your own fort?). If I want to play some asian crap grind pay to win rubbish I would do that...

myelrecsy•

Why don't we see more posts about how good the game is? Because they're not on reddit complaining, nothing to complain about, they're in the game playing and enjoying the game even with all the flaws and bugs. Well, except now, downtime lol.

blankednameOP•

Exactly! Get into a skin of a devs who reads all these comments and posts on this subreddit. I think this post is more directed to the Devs, so they can smile once for a whole month.

The money we gave them were perfect, the payments went through without error.

Can you say the same about the product that was delivered for that hard earned money?
