The problem is AGS refuse to bend their vision of the game for the sake of fun. So w/e.
sadly it’s been this way since they started nerfing hard late beta early release
it will never change. this is why a game from 2008 Wotlk is so popular lol
when a game from 2008 is more popular than your new game, you need to look at yourself and ask why?

Most of the people commenting in the forums are the same crowd who wants the game dead man. I highly doubt a lot of pvp’ers visit forums in general
it’s the guys that enjoyed the time the game was a buggy mess and 10k ppl were playing it.
No FSS, no pvp, more solodungeons, low serverpop, only pve farming with 10x speeded up nodes is a dream for many of the people here.
Don’t change anything just let the game finally die, maybe cause they can’t stop playing idk

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.
THIS GAME USED TO BE F*ing AMAZING
Early days were fun cause everything was op XD
Kinda the charm that Elden Ring has
Even demon kim closed recruitment to his company after the first bad patch
Now only Strength weapons and bruisers are overtuned. Leaving everything else weak and wanting. The truest of death of Power Fanstasy.
I disagree with that statement tho xd
Everything is less fun to play
I played every single class in the last 2weeks. And you will have most fun as ranged in opr. Be it bow/musket/fs.
Well or tank if you have a healer buddy(that is prob the most fun lol)
Bruisers feel strong cause like now I’m running 5con full dmg jsut to kill those archers in the back and sacrifice myself.
No point to run 50-200con when I get shot by 4arrows same time just to die in 2sec anyway
It’s payback time now

Compare Int weapons to Str.
Compare Dex weapons to Str.
I’m mean no one can honestly say Strength weapons don’t reign supreme in PvE and PvP.
Yea. I’m not even a meele main. I’ve been mage since release. But playing all classes changed my views a lot.
I can only recommend to people to try it
You will have more fun playing FS atm than playing a bruiser in opr, i can assure you that lol
Despite fs being pretty much trashtier. And bow is the most fun you’ll have for a long time I’d guess. Even if they’d gut bows dmg literally by 50%, you’d still see people playing it for the sake of convenience and fun
So this is also sth they have to keep in mind when doing balance changes
I’ve played all weapons except GS. The mage playstyle is the most fun in my opinion. But in every MMORPG I’ve played I’m normally aways either a Mage or Healer. Those are the archetypes I just enjoy.
But with AGS going this route of completely pushing Int weapons out of the meta. Pretty much pretty much all but made me quit New World. If my favorite playstyle is being made to suffer. Then simply I’m going to spend much less time in New World, and much more time in other MMORPGs.

this happen to me very early on and haven’t been back since
it’s going to happen to everyone sooner or later
Real PvPers need to demand a return of august beta pre release PvP scaling; that more than anything killed off PvP game in this MMO.
Every good modern PvP game has scaled combat in their MMOs, they mitigate this with horizontal progression items and providing meaningful build diversity that you can easily swap in and out of to keep the content fresh.
As long as gear progression remains a mandatory to effectively PvP the game will only ever have niche PvEers who don’t actually want competition they just want victims.

also shard sellers selling gold for real life money by using in game players as free labor?
this game is done
They mostly fixed that by moving all the rewards to the end but ye i suppose some ppl may buy even more gold to buy those runs who knows.
Regardless it does amaze me that AGS sought to stop the shard selling but not the root cause of why ppl were buying shards which was mostly to not have to do PvE to play PvP.
It’s almost like artificial friction barriers are bad for gameplay and content
who knew
But they have a PvP update on the roadmap so i’ll be paying attention to it and if they deliver some good changes then it will help determine my long term and level of play in this game.
Till then ill roll Fresh start enjoy the first few weeks of caotic World PvP and then casually pop in to the game from time to time when that inevitably dies off because the current design poorly supports it.
So long as scaling doesnt exist PvP will always be limited because it will lose players over time through attrition wo bringing in new ones, the burn rate will just exceed the replacement rate as it does in any MMO that doesnt have proper scaled PvP.

yes, it seems like AGS hired a bunch of mobile gaming devs to make a complex mmo
