Back in Alpha I said the game should be pushed back. But got a lot of flack for that

Feel like this first impression will be a hard hurdle for New World to recover from now. The game should have had the release date pushed back so the developers could deliver a better game overall.

The Leveling content could have been more thought out with more activities.

The game world could have been fleshed out with more gameplay activities for better open world group content and solo content. Concepts like the Portals could have been looked at to make it more exciting and fun and rewarding.

the instanced PvP could have been given more detail and polish.

The Instanced PvE could have more time to polish and design new concepts. Invasions for example is a neat idea, but more polish could do wonders.

The Open World PvP could have had more development time and planning.

The Combat mechanics and balance could have been more examined and worked on, with maybe some of the new weapons that are coming could have been ready for the release date instead.

Bugs could have been examined more thoroughly.

But the thing that bothers me the most was all the clap back given by the testers and the playerbase to rush the game out the door when we all could see that the game wasnt ready for release.

Companies get deadlines. They were already given a 1 year push plus a 1 month.

Just because you said they should delay doesn’t mean they could delay.

Hell, I think the game was better in alpha than it is now.

This is as funny as it is true.

This game is so broken I doubt they could have released a decent product even if they had pushed it back another year.

Y smacked yr head? Game just lacking good development, but the idea of game is good.

Correct me if im wrong but… mostly alpha but also beta testing phases are purpose built for exactly that. If a tester feeds back that the game isn’t ready then a good dev usually asks why and considers the criticism. I think the wider point he’s making though is that he identified many of the issues we see now but was ignored generally.

all they had to do was make leveling to 60 a matter of actual progression meaning increasing the xp needed to max level.

Getting to level 60 was the easiest part about this MMO.

Also they shouldn’t have mentioned how the watersystem worked, they just made it all about rotations after telling us.

11

I actually agree. They made getting to 60 too fast, they really needed to slow things down.

TBH, I’m not a hater of the game. I really love NW and feel it was fine to be released (not popular opinion).

Things I don’t like are how fast the leveling process was. Town board remained OP. (I didn’t even use it) and it was still relatively fast process to 60.

My main criticism for level 60 is the watermark system. I literally hate it.

(Profession leveling was too fast too, thanks for changing that… oh wait this should have been done before people were already 200)

How can you think it was okay to be released after the literal shit shower of failures that have happened? They’re using a bucket to try and stop a sinking ship. I can’t comprehend how anyone thinks it was anywhere near to ready tbh.

you as a company invested around 20 million dollars within 3 years to develop this game and then you realize that you are almost out of budget.

What would you do?

  1. let the game halfway die in beta.
  2. rush out to the world and get 40 million dollors (i dont know how much they sold and the cash they earned) and have the chance to fix the problems.

maybe this was their problem…

but iam not 100% sure. they dont tell me :slight_smile:

I get it, you are salty.

Use some self restraint and just don’t play it. Why must you attack people that want to play it?

Salty? Because I disagree? That’s real constructive… well done.

I haven’t played it since I hit 60 and realised how awful the game is. I’ve hoped and continue to hope it will do well, but to see anyone actually say that it’s acceptable in this state is mindblowing.

If you are offended by people pointing out the failures of a game and find it difficult to have your opinions challenged then maybe the forums aren’t the best place for you… :confused:

You didn’t just disagree, you wanted to insult my opinion.

It’s funny when someone wants to attack someone else because they have a different opinion. The actions of a salty person.
