Did 1.2 Kill New World for anyone else

and youve just showed you havent even played the game since near launch cause i havent heard about duping in game for quite awhile. youre living in the past here.

It’s funny you corrected his your vs you’re and you made the same mistake in this very thread.

nuh uh

Nice edit. I have the screen cap, silly.

thats crazy man

Insane, cause every single person in my company has noticed how the new buffering has completely borked PvP in OPR and Wars. OW it’s not as big an issue.

And it’s “that’s” not “thats” and “because” not “cause”. Since this seems to be about spelling now.

its pretty clear i dont really use apostrophes and say thru instead of through etc.

omg i dont care about this

okey doke

kiss-blow-kiss

While it hasn’t killed NW for me, 1.2 did introduce some performance issues I hadn’t had before - most annoying a condition where, at specific and repeatable points on the map, my fps will suddenly plummet.

I run a 3070/10700 system and keep fps locked at 60 because beyond that fps doesn’t matter (to me), and pre-1.2 it pretty much stayed there with periodic momentary dips into the high 50s it would immediately bounce back from. Now it’s not uncommon to see fps fall off a cliff into the high 20s/low 30s and then recover when I move out of an area (or even turn my character in some cases).

I made a post about this 21 days ago and completely agree with you in every regard really . Delays in combat and movement is just terrible right now :

i am missing maybe a week or so from having maxed out expertise and even for me game died with expertise patch xD

magic find nurf made every part of the game unrewarding and boring.

sure i have nearly max expertise. i can go farm shit right? except i cant because they nurfed all that legendary gear drop. before 1.2 i could find 4 legendary items per week at least. now i found 0

pve is dead in this game because its totally pointless. if my elite runs and dungeon runs are gonna result with no gold drop, then whats the point of playing? i have same result by logging in for 15 minutes a day as i would have by logging in for 8 hours xDDDD

I have a far broader perspective about MMOs at this point. I was there for the launch of DAOC and several earlier MMOs and they all had problems. DAOC had problems with battles in the frontiers, massive lag, severe class balance problems, etc. We didn’t have a whole lot of other choices for MMOs back then, so you had to stick it out in DAOC. You also needed other people to effectively level. People aren’t willing to stick it out now, because they have choices. Moreover, the attachment to other players is not a strong bond as it is just too easy to level playing alone. That isn’t a criticism to me, I enjoy solo play but I really enjoy my guild mates and most of the people in my faction. I like NW and the things that aren’t going well right now are not a reason for me to spend time with other games. But life is short, if you aren’t having fun, find something that is. Sometimes people cannot have fun until they change their perspective. If you always see the negative, it is hard to be positive.

Havent played in a week. I just hate dailies/daily FOMO in games. If i wanted a PVE end game i would play WOW not new world. “You havent done your dailies to increase your gear? Your gear is going to downgrade”…
Nope not going to participate I hate to to the core of my soul Dailies and PVE/Daily MMORPG on rails theme park i would play wow. New world is turning into a PVE game for me anyway, everything end game progression related is PVE, i hate it. I dont get why PVERs just dont go play WOW\FF if they want raids\dungeons the game is designed around it. We havent had a good MMORPG PVP game in years and what do they do on launch, tie all progression to PVE then add FOMO dailies for progression. Actually disgusting Feels like world of warcraft but action combat

But the PVE is trash too… Extremaly rare 600 GS drop. Imagine drop a really good 600 item?
The DG orb system is extremely tiring and cloying to fall into the same problem of upgrading expertise and have luck to drop a 600 item after the 1000x try.

The lag, shuttering, and inconsistent hit registration is bad right now, particularly for the musket. It is not fun. I normally would play OPR for hours each day. I pretty much just play a few games now. It will likely kill the game for me if they cannot fix it.

Roots + the general lag = unplayable for me, logged in a few times to try and play an opr and just saw all the same faces (because fucking EPIC lol 2000 max capacity but only 2 servers in my entire region have that), and they are quite literally all void gauntlet X.

It’s finally at the point where everyone on my server plays void gauntlet on the secondary regardless of their primary. And you can’t blame them, if you only wanted to win anyone with over 30 IQ would clearly see you would pick void gaunt. Boring.

From what it appears each update progressively loses more people.

For some people it’s a sunk cost, they’ve already paid for the game.

But when people say it’s a dead game, what kind of actual revenue is this game pulling in? Without subscriptions, this game relies on new game purchases, on-going daily players don’t really contribute to that. I would guess that they’ve been operating at a loss every month since the inception of the game except perhaps during the launch month. Even Amazon will cut their losses at some point.
