end game raids and mounts - that is all the game still needs and they were announced at the start. Pretty banger imo. Rest of the vid was just recaps.

3k + hours playing nw, but after today, idk, guess i will give on this game. 1 year and they just didn’t do anything, i dont think they’re that engaged like they’re are always saying.

I was really expecting… something in game.
We haven’t had a prime drop yet this month and I figured with it being the 1yr they were going to toss something out on there for us via this route.
A skin, some marks of fortune, a birthday candle blowing emote… or even just a title…
I didn’t expect an event as there wasn’t anything on PTR, but I figured a title at the very least isn’t asking for too much, right?

What ever the case maybe we all are getting a tiny (Very Tiny ) Expansion for free!!! Let just hope there is more MMO fundamentals on the way and quickly!!! This semi expansion wont keep people happy for long everyone thinks they will main the great sword until they get owned in pvp
I was really hoping for something fun ingame myself.

My sentiment exactly.

No dates because AGS never releases anything on time. It was hilarious to me how they were releasing monthly-named updates on the very last days of those months. They simply can’t add anything without breaking the game and probably spend more time bug hunting than working on new content.
As much as I love AGS and New World, this might (sadly) be the case as to why nothing patched in today.

I believe the video was made a few weeks back when they released the PTR. If you pay attention they mention the PTR and the new dungeon a lot making me think the video was recorded way before the anniversary date.
Anyway, they did a good job so far, things still need to be improved, but you guys are way to demanding lately. We are not paying monthly for this game yet they still work on it much more than other companies do on their own games

That’s entirely feasible.
Yay one year. Not exactly a major event is it?
Sort of sounds a bit like when I was a teenager and we celebrated our “one month anniversary” and got all excited about it.
Five years, maybe 10. But one? And this is the outrage because of it? It’s just one year. The passing of time roughly equal the time it takes our planet to orbit our sun in one full rotation is a whole lot less important than literally everything they spoke about in the dev update.
So much less important. Please, perspective.
Flashing a code on screen for some kind of title or cosmetic item could’ve definitely helped to drive home that anniversary theme for everybody watching the video. Definitely feels kinda off to “celebrate” without anything happening in game.
Besides that I think people expected too much in terms of the video itself. We’re getting a new roadmap with the next update and I’m perfectly fine with that.

@BRADLEY People are just unhappy in general and looking for things to cry about. These people crying are making probably the dumbest complaint I have ever seen about a game. It is so nonsensical I actually thought the complaints were sarcasm when I first read them.
So people really are focusing on there not being a free lollipop?
I thought the dev video was a big info dump. For example confirmed coming:
- raids
- solo end game content
- mounts (not soon)
- inventory management
- separate solo/group queues for OPR
They talked about areas they want to focus on and improve including less grind, better rewards, better performance

Please, dont take that as a “anniversary” video. Its just a regular dev video, has nothing to do with their year anniversary what is the main topic here

An achievement at the minimum. I mean bare minimum…but even that was too elusive to push out.
I would not phrase it in such a demeaning way by calling folks who are concerned “crying”, but they are definitely unhappy and rightfully so.
The game has more bugs now than ever. Gold dupes are STILL happening. Companies are running entire servers with their shell accounts (my entire server is run by one faction, one company and their shells).
Housing has been borked for 10 weeks now. It does not calculate.
So are people unhappy? ABSOLUTELY, but they are not crying, they are voicing their concern and disapproval. Some do it constructively, and some do not but its feedback nonetheless.
Dumb complaints about what? New Worlds FIRST ANNIVERSARY? Ya, that is actually a pretty big thing. 5 years would be next, then 10. I doubt we see three personally.
The fact that NOTHING was done to celebrate their anniversary is pretty telling. Imagine a couple where one of them was super excited about the day (us) and the other seemingly completely forgot about it (AGS). So…I don’t really see how you can classify this as being “dumb” when it seems like a pretty natural outcome to me.

Brimstone Sands? Hello?
Have you even checked the scope of the next update in the PTR?
I have played alot of MMO’s and Every Single one of them make big deals out of Anniversary’s.
I can see where MMO players would think something was going to happen today.
I myself have been looking forward to today, because I love events. and have NEVER played an mmo that didn’t have an anniversary event. So I too Thought something was going to happen, a cake, a cosmetic a twitch drop something.
So no they/we aren’t crying, they/we aren’t complaining, Just Shocked They didn’t do something, and Ride the momentum they are currently on.

It was wise of them to not do anything as anniversary imo. Probably they want to get the game to the point where they really want it to be and celebrate when they do so. Yes they’ve improved a whole lot, but needs a bit more.
Fresh start servers will most likely come at the same time as Brimstone update, not sure why they would open them earlier? It just makes more sense. If it comes later then they dropping the ball.
