I think most of the PvEers that demand PvP be removed from the game. Do so because many of their playstyles have been completely nerfed due to PvP. So they feel like PvP is a direct threat to their PvE enjoyment.
I’m neutral in this topic. I only play New World to gather and shoot the breeze then I’m back PvEing and PvPing in other MMOs and or games. So I might not have as much stake as you people.
What I found to work in cases like this. Is to have a realistic outlook, and acknowledge that AGS is pushing people, to grind PvE for untold hours to do any form of PvP in New World.
Do what you and the lazy others do best. Go into trade and buy your way. The rune drops from the last boss, pay up and get the drop… your problem you think you have doesn’t exist.
Did you need the game to be even easier? more than what is already the PvE? LOL
This game is easy, it’s just tremendously tedious because they force you to do certain content or have to progress for “X” period of time, but it has absolutely no difficulty.
In alpha the game was much more difficult and entertaining but unfortunately that was changed because of the crying of the “PvE”.
If you think PvP in New World difficult. Then you stand little to no chances in PvP outside of New World.
Grab a bruiser build and just left click your way to victory. Also, more so than not the gear gap between players are so wide that it almost destroys any semblance of skill based combat.
In my experience playing many MMOs since 2003 New World have some of the lowest skill ceiling in the genre. Believe it or not, but even Final Fantasy XIV requires more mechanical skill in its PvP combat than New World. And they don’t even try to market their PvP scene.
I don’t believe New World have any official 1v1 game mode though. Even in 3v3 Bruiser/Healer combo is pretty much an auto win against a team that don’t have them. And perks are so strong in this game that gear can basically end the match before it starts.
Let’s not even forget about the whole non-competitive auto-win/lose matches people get thrown into. Where the team with the most bows and musket pretty much automatically lose if not getting killed leaving spawn.
It is auto win but having a healer behind, what if it is broken is the lifestaff and how OPR builds the teams. But 1 vs 1, they are just one more player.
This was clear for hundreds of thousands of players after the Expertise and 625 Mutation updates. What’s also clear, is that AGS is dead set on forcing players through massive hours of PvE grind loops, to be viable in PvP in this game.
That in mind there are only two rational responses.
A.) Bare down and go through the massive hours don’t PvE grind to be able to PvP.
B.) Turn New World off whenever they feel the need to PvP. And go PvP in another MMO or game that won’t push them to grind PvE for untold hours to PvP.
