D3 is a very casual friendly game and at the same time D3 has content that catered to the hardcore community. For instance, hardcore character and leaderboard.
New World is a one dimension hardcore mmorpg that only the most devoted people would enjoy. Good luck getting these people to stick around when majority of casual player left the scene.
Theres some very real difference between D3 and NW. For example, D3 (generally speaking) had combat fleshed out – fluid and fun. NW is the opposite and is built on a terrible engine., lacks direction, etc etc. The problem list with NW is a mile long. D3 underneath was a solid game.
Comeback? This one aint coming back unless they pull the game and do a bottom up rebuild. It just wasn’t ready, and now, has millions of salty players under its belt.
they never did adjust combat for the removal of stagger, bring it back combat was way better with it in game. Mobs stagger the hell out of us but we dont to them.
Bring back stagger! revert all combat changes to what we started with. Start fixing it from there.
Same with WOW and FFXIV and a ton of other games. NW is not the worst game release in history and it isn’t going to die. The devs are constantly updating and fixing things. People just like to complain
Help your weak company members get 625 and 50 man that 5mil a week territory. Youre not into PvP? Carry your PvPers through PvE so they can do it then.
Saying there’s nothing to do and saying it’s too grindy is redundant. Lol.
I agree, bugs and what not is the most hurtful part. I don’t think the u.bral system is bad per say, it’s just unrefined and unfinished. You can’t 600 to 625 content without having multiple avenues to do it. They’re adding it to OPR and buffing the amount from crafting so now if you PvE PvP gather and craft you naturally get umbral.
I think they should iterate it into 520 to 590 for lower levels so they can use it as well. Give umbral fragments or something in normal expeditions that go 1 to 1 all the way up to 590.
strong IP with infinite money and goodwill of fanatic fans > Some random billionare who thinks they can hire a shoddy dev team while also underpaying and understaffing them
Nonsense. Having a grind doesn’t mean there’s something to do.
If the grind isn’t fun, and the content after the grind isn’t fun, then there’s nothing FUN to do. They shouldn’t need to specify that in a video game, because many games understand that it’s important to make the grind fun, or at least offer a good carrot after the stick.
If there’s nothing inherently FUN to do, then there’s functionally nothing to do in the GAME. No matter how many mindless shitty grinds they add.
I mean we should get more dungeons.
But spamming dungeons is pretty standard Endgame content for most MMOs.
In here we have less dungeons but also sole elite zones. So it’s not that different imo
Trying to be a standard MMO is such a disservice to this game’s potential. This game was on track to be something so much more and then the big shots at AGS decided they wanted to hard-shift development less than a year before release and pander to lazy design. It’s that short-sighted vision that’s killing this game faster than any other factor.
Why are you comparing 2 complete different games and both in completely different genres? Not only that, Diablo in general has a decent size following and not something that would just die. New World is a brand new game and didn’t come from a popular IP.
