I copy and pasted the "lol - guess no major changes or balance this month’ from OP’s post. For August and September, we’ll be focusing on bug fixes so you’ll see those in the rolling PTR.

And here’s an update on the Group Finder. New World Update 1.6.4 - News | New World - Open World MMO PC Game

Whilst we’re chatting here I gotta ask. What about rapier’s balancing and heavy armor?
Please… You’ve got to do something about the balancing asap. Opr is unbearable now as a melee. Twice today I was the only melee on my team. I’ve tried to stay engaged in the game by doing the new BnB dungeon and grinding mats for crafting gear, as well as running m10s but that pve is getting old fast. With no wars (our company had decided not to push in this merc/shell environment) and awful oprs that only leaves 3v3s. I’m at my breaking point with my frustration in this game. I’ve invested so much time I hate to walk away but the fact is you haven’t taken action against the meteor shower exploit, nor addressed the flamethrower visual bugs (tired of watching health melt with some guy just holding a stick near me} , or done anything to tune down the bows and muskets in opr for weeks now… I know you guys have the data to see the same things we all are complaining about on the forums… Why aren’t you doing anything? Im losing my faith in you and this game…
Please do something meaningful asap for balance and war fatigue unless you want more of us to quit

Dude they are getting ready to put out a huge update in a month. Get real on your expectations as they are pretty ridiculous. Group finder coming tomorrow. Dev video next week. Just chill
Did you sign a contract with them guaranteeing they would put out content every month?

No one cares if you quit a live service game that costs the same as two large pizzas.
Stay on topic, or make your own feedback forum topic. Don’t just hound moderators and community managers with topics already accounted for on these forums when they make their presence known.
You can’t make an assumption like this. Wait until the next PTR iteration and make your voice heard then.

A lot of these ranged issues are coming directly from the new mortal empowerment perk. Ranged can stay alive forever if they just stay at ranged, and then they can get an extra 30% damage buff the entire time. If they limited mortal empowerment perk to 5 stacks instead of 15 stacks, it would probably fix the entire problem overnight.

Not at all, Group Finder is one thing and it should have been out before already (we can only pray that after the extended testing it has no bugs). They basically removed the balance/bugfix patch for August by pushing everything out, and there is a load of promised things still missing.
This month shows they are slowing down the release schedule, and no longer committing to major balance/bugfix patches monthly between the major content patches. That is a negative direction, considering the known issues lists gets longer each month, not shorter. There is still bugs reported in July PTR, that now currently still in live.
Delivering one thing late (i.e. Group Finder) is not worth appraisal. AGS is trying to play with the big boys, so we should hold them up to the same standards. Other major title live up to higher standards, and build expectations that they fullfil. Only thing I will apologise for it expecting more from a company funded by Amazon.

Because they are facing one of the biggest, if not the biggest update in history of this game. Really, dude. Cut it off. I am frustrated myself on many things, but I can not say that they are slowing or doing nothing. Most of you guys can only complain since the realease of the game.
Tell me, when was the last time, last topic, where You actually appreciated any of changes they introduced so far?

Literally when the Summer Patch released, but it was the aftermath that was terrible, and the reaction time was lacking. Azoth was down for too long, Instanced Wars are still not back up and there is no acknowledgement or compesation for those that lost wars/declares because of of it. BowPR got worse not better, and there have been very little in all the weekly patches. All they have currently been doing in August is putting out fires they created (and some of those fires would not have been there had they reacted to PTR feedback when it was in PTR). I don’t know why you cannot say they are slowing down, when have literally just said it in this thread themselves.

I said more less everything above. there is massive update coming, so maybe let’s be critical after that.
Like I have mention, the amount of negative feedback about everything on this forum or stupid ideas is incredible. if you guys cares about this game, and want it to be better and perfect one day, you must give the same positive and negative feedbacks. they dont even know whay they are doing good in changes, cause all they can see its only complain. not specific, good ideas.

There a thread in general discussions this morning titled something like new group finder is a joke where the OP complains that GF is a joke because you have to go to each dungeons door to access group finder. The first responds corrects him by showing how you access it from the map. .
There was another post in another thread a few days ago claiming the group finder wouldn’t be out for months. That didn’t age well.
These people are so desperate to throw shade on the game and everything AGS does.

At least that extra time gave us a quality release.
Oh wait, what happened to the sounds.
Guess more fires to put out.

Guess we should assume August 31st PTR release at this rate, particularly so since the Dev Video is not dropping today.
Also, nothing but comical and certainly insignificant “updates” in the PTR now that the group finder was pushed into Live with 1.6.4. Hard to test anything when you do not know what to test or when there isn’t anything worthwhile to poke your head in to check out. Been nearly a whole month since the July update and there have hardly been any notes added apart from group finder. Not thrilling.

All this new shit everyone is crying for involves alot more players on your screen. it all points to the inescapable fact - lumberjack game engine is piece of dogshit for an MMO. I don’t think they’re able to further optimize it… otherwise this kinda stuff woulda been added or slated… its probably one of reasons mounts haven’t been discussed yet.
AGS will never admit this openly… whether or not they optimize the client will be revealed if the aforementioned goes on the radar…
