You see you’re wrong though. Beta tester input is valued to the developer company while ours goes on deaf ears. Plus I would definitely not fork out more cash for the games extension when the trust in the department is completely gone to begin with. But hey don’t just take my word for it. Look at the 1.5 million player base that is now barely 20k. It’s barely on the 1% quota of what is once was.
Even Phasmophobia, a game made by indie devs which has more of a player base than that lol.
This is all stuff I knew but pretty much hits the nail on the head. There is more to NW’s problems the video doesnt touch on IMO but it hits a lot of the important reasons. Complete lack of MMO experience from the top on down. This is an eye opener for people that don’t realize everything the video touches on.
PVE didnt kill the game. Its how they went about both PVE and PVP. PVX can work its just that both systems are completely flawed and use archaic 15 year old designs.

Yeah, I’ve known about all the bug issues and game flaws that have impacted myself and others I’ve played with, but didn’t realize the potential why of it…I just gave AGS the benefit of the doubt and assumed enough time maybe.
I guess the question is will the game be around long enough to keep improving, and does the staff care enough to invest?
I’m pretty sure the most successful MMO in history by pretty much any measure is WOW. Never played it, but I don’t think you can argue otherwise.
I think their biggest mistake ever was changing the combat system
The biggest mistakes for New World, were in the November, December, and January patches. We simply didn’t pay for a bare bones PvE Grinder. We paid for a PvP centric game that was catering to PvPers. AGS did the classic bait and switch, and we all know how that worked out for them.
I doubt many gamers will pay for any new games AGS make now. AGS simply has burnt that bridge now. They will have to restructure and build another bridge from scratch now. But hey they already got our money with no repercussion, so what do they care.

So, we should just stop playing it until most are fixed. If all this bug/balance thing is a headache.
Oh yet 99% of player have done that.
Please calm down everything is normal & under control blablabla
So, they are are doing same error as a “amateur” (no offense) doing mod ?
Yeah everything is alrighty they learn !
Please recruit competent people
No, it’s only a part of the iceberg.
People a leaving for all the reason listed by OP
For me it was boring, to "fight’ against the dev & bug everyday. When i can just have fun without stupid headache
At the end we play a game to have fun, not to build a alternative time gated life
Some are saying people are mean, in reality it come to frustration lead by dev team of NW
We are not just a angry mob, AGS as to deliver a working product. Wich he is not actually, 8months after release.
Poor forum modération, I’m sure the dev team don’t even take time to read forums it’s sure
They punished players straight out the gates for being what we are.
Fucking nerds.
Lmao.

They went radio silent for weeks now, so this wouldn’t be a huge surprise. New World is a massive flop, the game was a success for a few weeks and nosedived since 2022 started. We’re down to 2-3% of its launch population, so no wonder if heads are rolling. The game has been mismanaged from the start.
I have multiple friends that ask me regularly, "is New World playable yet?
And if I give them the go ahead, they’re gonna play again. I have not given them the go ahead yet in fear of them not enjoying it again. I think a lot of old players are like this.
Just explaining to my old mmo friends the issues in new world and they get it.
“That’s too bad”
It really is

Can’t stop having this feeling that the game lost direction when Patrick Gilmore left the team.
Clarification: This game had a very short beta but a very lengthy alpha. Alpha tester input is valued to the developer company while ours went to deaf ears - fxt.
Same old forum posts over and over = boring
Its ok. They might pay attention once I mention that there’s a new duplication exploit in the game with the latest update.

That’s rich, it’s too bad with the exceptions of those actually RMTing. All these cheaters will end up being the bigger losers.
The biggest issue in this game is the binding with your current progression and the availability for you to only play with players who share your own progression.
I myself have been in a guild that had players from level 20 all the way to level 60. For a window of 3 weeks I have only done 2 Siren Arena runs with few people from the guild and that’s it.
What I mean by that is even at 600+ and above expertise once you get to m5+ you want to stick with running m5+ or just 1 run per day on normal gen/laz that’s it.
I do not see any incentive for a level 50 player to play together with a level 35 players for example. Also I do not see a reason for a level 50 player to player together with a level 60 player even if you are friends and guildies… The content that one needs to do and the content the other needs to do is so vastly different that there is no way they can play with each other.
I can feel that this is the case in every company that has members with different stage of progression. Even at end game i barely see grouped activities outside of Forts. Whenever I go there is random lonely people wandering around farming or else.
The only exception is probably the Elite chest runs. But that’s global event since there is dozens of people piling up together for a faster run etc. But then again I still think it’s pointless to do elite runs below level 60 since the loot you are gonna get will be bound to your character level - e.g. even if opening elite chest in a lvl 66+ elite zone if your character is level 55 for example you are gonna get the same trash drops as opening a level 50 elite chest in a level 50 elite zone… So yeah I mean, all players below level 60 has ONLY 1 goal and way to play the game → Grind EXP as fast as possible to 60 because the only worthwhile content doing below 60 is gathering materials with tools that are 2x times slower in gathering speed compared to anyone else
