AAA studio budget with a studio located in the bay area of California by the way.
Might as well start making New World private servers. Game doesn’t even have a way to display and select rewards from a quest. Reward caches don’t display top tier rewards in the loot pool.
OPR reward cache description might as well read - “Double click to open, not affected by Luck.”
Modders would have made this game into a modded minecraft server meets runescape trade skills, meets dark souls combat, meets witcher 3 questing.
That was one of my very first complaints about New World. And it is an issue exacerbated by the inundating flood of crap thrown at us disrespecting our time, only resulting in 3 gold salvages across the board, which is boring AF.
The Yeti could have used some fun drops for the holiday event, but nooOOOOoo
Yeah, heard you had to Item Level grind (or whatever it’s called in Lost Ark) to reach arbitrary thresholds to do content.
Also heard that North America server had really trashy conversion rates compared to Korea and Japan.
Like $5 spent in NA is equal to the purchasing power of $1 in Korea or something. Costed easily 5 times when compared to other regions and their monetization.
Has been zero communication from the devs that is the part that’s killing me and making me think this games is just not what they said it’s going to be. Sad honestly
I do wonder what the devs true intentions and motivations are for New World, and I worry that there’s a lot of carrot on a stick BS and manipulating players to create a value for those things like stacked decks and loaded dice, to support a luck system that is inherently a possible lie just to keep people chasing this carrot, while giving not even the most basic of MMO features any true MMO developer would have on day 1.
i think that this kind of feedback doesnt get to the devs, somewhat the support team turn a blind eye on our complains, there is no other reason why there are a six month bugs still around, muskets, trash perks and skills.
double attributes and aimbotters are being mass reported every day and are still in the game.,
I’ve posted this just recently in another topic, but I’ll do so here as well:
right now, AGS just wants your wallet for the initial purchase, then they do. not. care.
They are just looking to “pad their stats” for their shareholder’s meetings to justify their studio’s expenses. AKA, so the shit employees can keep taking their salaries.
Nothing will change until people stop buying skins, etc…
STOP BUYING STUFF PEOPLE. They will not give a f**** otherwise.
I mean if people stopped buying costumes, tent skins, weapon skins and what-not we would have a barber shop and in-depth character customization by this point in time. Probably boob + butt, abs + pecker sliders.
But alas, here we are 1 year deep with “female” characters that have a copy and pasted male skeleton + walking / running animation. Did I mention no swimming animation? Still walking on the bottom of the ocean.
The problems are obvious to us players there would not even be a need to write them down but the incompetence of the development team makes it necessary, despite this, they only make things worse! The pvp is in a bad state and the musket hasn’t been fixed for more than a year demonstrates the bad job they are doing, we all love the game and precisely because we love it we cannot make daily positive posts but we must make the developers understand that if they continue so other players will lose
AGS makes so many initial design mistakes that they spend so much time fixing bad design and bugs so they can’t move the ball forward fast enough because they are constantly back tracking. This is the biggest issue with New World. Released 2 years too early.
