I want to start out by saying that I absolutely adore New World and all of the experiences that I’ve had within. However, I’m starting to hit a point where the content is becoming a bit overplayed. I’m running out of new activities and just find myself doing the same expeditions over and over, which is still fun but is starting to become a bit dry. I’m writing this in hopes that I can possibly make a few suggestions on new content for New World.
When I think of a really good MMO, my mind goes directly to DC Universe Online. There was a lot of variety to what missions were available, and the content was seemingly endless. I think the main thing that drew me to DCUO was that I didn’t always need to have a group of friends with me in order to progress. There were Solo, Duo, Alert (4 player), and Raid (8 player) missions available which really gave me options depending on what I was feeling up for at any given time. A lot of times, the lower player count missions (Solo and Duo) took place in the same instances that the Alerts and Raids did. They achieved this by making the missions in a sectioned off area of the instance, and changing the difficulty to reflect a solo player or a two person teams capabilities. They changed a few enemy locations, and usually added a quick boss fight to the end. Something simple like this would be a fun way to give players another way to gain Umbral Shards while we wait for our team to get on for an M10 or what have you.
New World is a game that I absolutely love. It has it’s quirks, but it’s become a really fun adventure for me. Please feel free to leave comments regarding what you think of this idea, or how it could be tweaked. I think it would be really cool to see something like this implemented in New World. Thanks for reading!
