The team is looking for additional telemetry in order to improve the Group Finder. There will be an update coming today on the PTR with Group Finder changes so any help we can get in the PTR would be super appreciated. You can find those notes here: [Downtime] PTR Update: August 18th, 2022
For August and September, we’ll be focusing on bug fixes so you’ll see those in the rolling PTR!
The August Dev Update is coming at the end of the month but I don’t have a specific date to share just yet. Keep an eye out on Twitter! We usually post a teaser before we release it.
Thanks so much for this! Really helps knowing when that dev video is coming out and knowing we won’t see anything big until October. Excited about the potential upcoming Brimstone Sands spoilers! Heard Baggins may have videos he can release in the future when he gets the go-ahead. We really excited! Thanks so much for the communication!
Respectfully, devs don’t listen to feedback on PTR along with no incentives to play and test the PTR plus additional grind on ptr because you can’t just spawn whatever you want makes it a MASSIVE waste of time on players end.
Well so literally 2 months without nothing new, great that you will be focused on bugs, that you should be focused always on it, but there is comming soon an aniversary… There should be something big to bring new players and the players that want out cuz of your failure at strart… but nah you just are fine with the community that you have right now…
Great 2 months incoming, probably more out players cuz crafts are so easy right now and there is at the moment nothing hard to get, the items that were “rare” now are almost common.
Game with a great potential to be one of the best MMOs wasted and keep being wasted by a such a bad devs…
Thats only about the group finder though. Can we get ANY information about instanced wars? You guys disabled them day1 of the summer patch and never mentioned it since.
I wouldn’t say they are doing nothing, but they are doing it slowly. Well, slower than expected anyway. At least I know I won’t have to keep my hopes up for the greatsword next month
What in the world is this 1 step forward 2 steps backwards development?? You have finally gained some player increase with the new content and now there will be 2 months withouth any new content of any sort? This is the time you should go pedal to metal and keep the momentum going forward.
If you do this all the gained players will be lost in the end of the month and we will go back down to the player count before Summer Medleyfaire patch.
Im really sad to read this is the plan and that will defiently be the end of my journey with New World. I dont see any future success for this game with stupid decisions like this being made. It feels like the only goal AGS have is to investing as little time and resources as possible without shutting the game down and still make some money from month to month. Is this the plan to just half ass the game until something new is released to the market and kills it for good?
Thanks for the informations but 2 months of bugfixing… that’s rough. And pretty disappointing. I reckon after 1 year, the game should finally be in a state where you don’t have to focus mainly on that anymore. I really hope they are just holding features back to bring the expansion with a bang and soft-relaunch the game.
People are starting to look into the game again. The event brought some people back and AGS greets them with… 2 months of bugfixing?
I would be fine with them spending 2 months focusing on Brimstone and deliver a huge and insane update with it with the goal to “relaunch” the game. If that is the case you need to be open about it! But spending 2 months strictly on bugs that is just not good enough.
