I just bought Wasteland 2 and 3 on the Autumn sale on steam.
I guess that will keep me occipied for a while until the big games drop.
This game?
I really cant see me coming back until they add more Expeditions, remove the crafting for expeditions, remove the lag from Wars, and do something about the economy and gearscore system.
I feel sorry for you man, and i really hope you get to use all those crafts someday.
I jumped of that wagon around 150 WC when i saw where this was headed.
Yeah we were a group of 25 WoW players, we were hoping NW would be our new “10 year game”, but oh well. We are dabling in a few to test, GW2 is one, someone mentioned Black Desert Online today in another thread so im testing that tonight. The videos look so similar to NW.
This game indeed feels like a second job. I stopped around lvl 48 because the mobs were getting annoying and no matter how hard I try I would aggro entire zone for some reason and then feel like a rag doll being punched back and forth. On top of that the crazy respawn rate makes it really tideous. I noticed my mood has improved a lot better now that I don’t care about combat and just do some gathering once or twice a week when I feel like logging in.
with the town buffs i can routinely craft leggos sometimes with great perks - but i just feel like what’s the point now, everyone of my RL friends is so discouraged about the state of the game, it just lost all the luster sadly
Hopefully this game will be back stronger in a years time or so.
The thing i hate most about releasing unfinished products is that it removes the joy of working hard to get on top and feel like you are a part of the community.
Coming back will be a chatching up game instead, and its just not fun.
Get into Diablo, BDO or other sologames, I agree that those will suit you and most here much better. New world is a group game and prolly not for you then. Chestruns were never intended like the players did it. U should need a tank to contain and healer to keep you up in a 5 man group. Not running around jumping on stones and laying down behind chests or just front face smashing everything as a DD.
I feel you OP. I took the same direction a week ago and it was pretty tough cause I love the game, I enjoyed playing it SO much… but everyone has a limit. I couldn’t stand with the infamous x4 crafting system, the highly increased difficulty of some elite areas, the cut down chest drops… You don’t make those game-changing changes when your product is fully developed, you do that developing a beat, even on early-access… Oh, guess what!. I will never accept that kind of game-breaking changes at this stage of the game.
I’m with you, this game has the potential of becoming one of the best ever mmo’s but all the stuff happening is plain and simple awful. “They” (whoever they are, devs, a single person, uncle Jeff… whatever) are going bad choice after bad choice, issue after issue. I fear we will not have a peek back to take in some time if they don’t make a 180º degree turn asap, cause game is sinking and fanbase are running away.
