I vote for some AI dispute test algorytm. Or maybe he’s a bot they are fairy happy about the game.

This sums up the core of the issue.
Who cares if the game launched better than other MMO in history - it did not and is a blatantly ludicrous statement - but since launch tell me what they’ve done. They have made a misstep in direction at every given opportunity. Some they made minor corrections for but with every subsequent, “hey, we’re excited about this new feature,” the community rightly reports on how ass backwards their systems and direction have been.
For every game there is a small group that will accept whatever they’re given and dig in and play. For most of the rest of us, if the game gives us crap we leave. The OP is clearly in the former group which is fine, white knight it to death buddy, but don’t think you’re fooling the rest of us.
You guys are still posting in here? This thread is old, here is the new one:
Were you even here at launch? Do you not understand how the duping incidents, window mode exploits, resillence bugs, etc basically crushed this games player base? Its inexcusable really.
I stuck around because this games open world is beautiful, its a shame AGS hasnt made better use of it for end game activities.
I started playing a little before thanksgiving. =)
I was paying attention, though.
Wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss Lost Ark. It’s quite fun and it’s more of an mmorpg than it is an arpg. The view throws people off.
Tried it out on the Russian server. Lots of different mobs and we found ourselves talking about them. Some are really good. Gameplay is smooth with a lot to do. Really, it’s a game you can just enjoy without having to get all competitive. You can get really competitive though. Something for everyone.
Also, with time gates in new world you can play your weekly orbs and then play lost ark the rest of the week.

This must be a troll, this can’t be real can it?
This guy acts like “leave Britney alone” video on YouTube, serious fanboy cult behaviour here
20 hours login queues, plenty of duplication issues, bugs found in beta present in the game to this day.
Quite smooth, i agree.
Game core systems with close to no innovation, mediocre pve content, mediocre story, mediocre questing, mediocre AI, mediocre crafting system, the extremely poor state that pvp is in since after launch. and the list goes on.
Best MMMORPG in ears, i once again agree.
The only thing that saves the state of this game right now is the astonishing world that they created. That should indeed be a new standard and something to strive for in this industry.
Agree to disagree. GW2 still looks beautiful, the combat mechanics are great, and the whole open world feeling where you can take part everywhere no matter level is a very good system. Means you can play with friends that are lower/higher level without any issues. Actually… maybe that’s something to go back to again until NW decides which direction they want to take.

Didn’t Warhammer Online have about 800k players who had bought the box and were also paying a sub, all this a month or so after launch?
I don’t think that person has enough experience in the MMO genre to understand that. Like damn even at release ESO and GW2 was miles better PvE MMOs then New World 4 months after release.
I mean New World reminds of Elite Dangerous release. Where there was almost no gameplay other then grind the same 6 hours of missions for thousands of hours. What was the term used… Oh yeah it’s a barebones game that is “A Mile Wide, but Inch Deep”. Which is actually better then current day New World. Because at the moment New World is a inch wider and a inch deep. When you compare it to other MMOs on the market.
Do you even think they have been listening to the people who are explaining what wrong. And why they are losing loads of players. HA, I got news for you. They don’t care at all. They already got our money. It’s not a subscription service MMO.
Damn you hitting this “innocent” person with them hard facts. Lol how dare you, you are a hater now. Because you are talking with objective evidence rather then your feelings. That’s pretty toxic, how dare you. LEL
Lost Ark forums are going to be the same after the 3 month baiting period. When it goes completely pay to win like it is in Korea. Anyone who expects a MMO that is ported from Korea to not be pay to win. Is delusional at best.
It did not do better. You can say it all you want but it doesn’t make it true. This game failed launch in every way it could. 4 months later they still break the same stuff they have broken since the first patch.
Dupes, exploits, bots, broken chat, broken TP, broken storage, broken compass. Items disappearing. Clock jumps. Housing taxing too often. Giving all the EU servers 300k gold each player. More dupes. More exploits. More toxic player. More bots. No bans so people still do it. Nerfs to progression over and over. Nerfs to weapons based on bad feedback and not small ones. New weapon being over powered since launch and untouched. Raising gear score already 4 months in without any actual new content. Monthly patches that really consist of nothing but more bugs. The content is an illusion. We got one weapon, some Christmas boxes put on the ground, a meteor, and a couple recycled dungeons. They still do stealth patching and they lie over and over about how stuff was meant to be put in the notes but mysteriously didn’t make it.
This game is a disaster and not only do you refuse to see it just because it looks pretty but you try to spread your lies here and justify it with false facts.
I don’t care that other games also had que problems, lag, and disconnects at launch. Those games still had far more content to start with. Those games still had far smoother gameplay. Those games were far less exploited, far less toxic, far more to do, and far better content updates. I played those games for years and had tons of fun. I played this one for 4 months and really ran out of fun about 2 months ago.

Best MMORPG in years? Smoothest launch in decades?

What you are seeing is new bots.

That is the reason, NW should be shut down for a while to reset the exploits, cheats and so on. The cheaters will quit first, who cares ! Bots wont have influence anymore.
A restart makes sense, if AGS solves the major issues, but why not? Give them enough time. Devs and community can team up. Everybody want NW to become successfull.
How is bleeding down to 1/18th your playerbase and still dropping with the game being in a worse state than alpha and betas a good thing?
The only thing that was smooth about this launch was the curve of the player dropoff.
This is clearly a troll thread but I’ll respond.
This game had a decent but not great launch. A lot of interest, servers were up albeit with a queue. A lot of activity, but once you were in seemed fun and didn’t seem to have any major issues.
Because of the newness, a lot of people didn’t realize a lot of things:
- Most tooltips were plain wrong
- Many needed items were not in the game
- There was no end game once you hit 60
So fast forward a couple of weeks and people started noticing that the surface looked nice but there was a lack of depth.
Then on to the updates. Every update has been a DISASTER! New bugs, new broken things, things not being fixed. Duplication galore. “Accidental” keystrokes deleting things or issuing 10x gold or you name it. All player trading de-activated on and off. Wars were laggy messes that were never properly tested. Combat started to fall apart when you started to have more than 10 people in an area at a time. Bugs keep piling up. Updates are breaking way more things than fixing. There was exploit after exploit after exploit (and a lot of them didn’t even require people to try, they activated from people just doing normal stuff and didn’t go away until they logged out).
Devs don’t seem to actually understand how their own game works. Things were too rapidly shifted that the entire wealth of servers went into the hands of just a few. Everything completely tilted and unbalanced. And instead of fixing any of this or the assorted new bugs, AGS focuses on slowing everything down onto a grind treadmill in order to not add fun, but to control how much progression players can do.
Not a single update occurred without it coming with game-breaking bugs. It’s a meme now that AGS can’t release a working update. They have failed every single time.
So this is a troll topic. Sorry. If you’re being paid to write it, congratulations on the piddle-squat you made. If not, congrats AGS you’ve convinced the brainwashed to do your dirty work for free.

When the game is so bad, the best PvP is in the forums.
Top tier troll.
