I genuinely enjoy playing this game and am actually happy with what the game has to offer as of right now. But I can’t actually play the content, because the lag and desync makes it impossible. The game is not playable.
The worst part about this is that AGS is being completely silent about the whole issue. Where is the communication? The game will die if desync is not dealt with. Can you at least confirm that you are working on it? Because we haven’t heard a word ever since the “desync team” was announced back in january or so
I would love for New World to become an E Sport with professional matches and commentary. Would be the most hilarious thing I’d ever seen. Just imagine the commentary trying to keep up with all the hits not landing, abilities misfiring, players teleporting…
Desync got worse with the latest patch with animations stuttering, warping, missed attacks even tho you are right next to the player with melee swings. Sometimes even sounds of attacks landing goes off but no actual hits regestering.
Not being able to make this basic game mechanics feeling solid is a bigger issue then balance tweaks and fixing grammatical errors in quests.
Yeah I just love shield bashing someone in the back when they aren’t dodging, hearing the whomp sound effect as it connects, and they just walk away like nothing happened.
desyncs are ruinning overall game experience and when i take a look on everyday new exploits I think that there is no hope to see them fixing desyncs anytime soon… but wait… we have isabella expedition soon… that gonna save the core game
It’s implied, assumed, or believed by some (myself included) that they can’t fix it. It’s possibly the limitations of the game engine or something. Would explain why world population is capped at 2000 or whatever it is. Whatever the case, it’s proof the game was released too soon.
Im glad to see that someone is still trying to underline this issue. I’ve never complained about any balance, duping, endgame contents and so on. I just wanted to play this game but since 1.03 it become litterally impossible. As of now im just checking from time to time if they are doing something about it and basically stopped playing. Thank you AGS, congratulations
The thing is that the combat was actually fine the first two months of the game. They added something in the november update that started all of the desync issues we are still experiencing months later. Idk what they did but they have to figure it out and revert it
Same boat as you Ps3udo77. I just uploaded another video to AGS as an example of how terrible it is to engage in any combat even PvE. I have noticed that for me my input latency jumps anytime I begin an encounter and start firing off weapon abilities. It gets worse when the enemy is in melee range and when I try to dodge.
I do not experience this level of lag when traversing the world, harvesting, accessing the market or town storage only combat. That leads me to believe they have a lot of data going back and forth that checks and validates combat actions and it is not able to keep the client and server side in sync.
I was also surprised by the lack of complaints about desync and weapon swap and ability queue bugs as well. It seems most of the community has lost faith that they will be fixed and just accepted them.
