How is friends list still bugged as hell and everyone just tolerates it?

Same as health bars which are bugged since release. It does not show up until you did damage equal to the bonus health the amulet provides. Sonethimes it seems like i just miss every hit until all of a sudden the enemy bar drops to 50%.

I mean you still cant even see what company a person is in,

At this point I’m pretty sure they typed “make a semi-working MMO” in ChatGPT and just copied the results.

The game is littered with all kinds of bugs and is a meme at this point, and a waiting ground for the next mmo

Why wait for the next MMO that’s arguably worse than the MMOs out now? What copium is this?

Are you people sure you all are waiting for the next MMO? I can tell you right now, Throne and Liberty is going to trash, and IIRC AGS is the publisher for it. So you’ll have all the Bot and RMT issues that New World and Lost Ark has.

AGS has trained its players to treat bugs as features

AGS is so ridiculously clueless when it comes to basic MMO needs that it’s hard to believe. A friends list that has been borked SINCE LAUNCH. Everyone knows about it, NOTHING has been done.

A group finder didn’t exist in this game at launch. But when they finally introduced one, the only remarkable thing about it is that it would be difficult to design something worse. It is, hands down, the worst design for a group finder OF ALL TIME.

If I were an AGS dev, I would simply quit out of shame. The issues in this game are so basic, yet run so deep. Design decisions are so mind-bogglingly bad that it’s hard to fathom how anyone could come up with them. Most people would have to put significant effort into coming up with design decisions like AGS puts out every patch.

Oh yeah! I really wish they would fix this.

To add, sometimes I only see like the top half logged in and a big black blank section below. So it scrolls weird. no clue why sometimes it gets cut in half.

The friends list and the data that goes into is complicated, it’s like building a “door” for AGS :joy:

all this stuff worked on launch I just forget which patch it was that broke it but it was pretty early on

wait so you dont like to open map, scroll in, hit a mini icon thats right next to another icon, then looking through 10 different mutations, want to apply, having to do it all again because you are pvp flagged, then hover over a little icon again to be able to message the lobby owner, get into inventory, link 5 pieces of gear, close inventory, hit send, open inventory and link weapons ? its literally so easy to use, dont know what everyone is complaining about

It’s hard and about priorities. At least now you know Farmer John is going with a 35kda in arenas on Barri server now.

Every single feature or system they have ever released since 2018 had multiple bugs, a lot of which have never been fixed to this day. As a New World player you just have to accept the fact that this game is always going to be riddled with bugs and that most of them will never be fixed in a reasonable timeframe, and often times straight up never.

50th topic, but… True, still an Alpha game btw.

That can really be said about all the ui. Alpha ~.~

The programmers working on this game are extremely bad at solving problems.
Maybe because they don’t understand the code for z,x,y reasons, or they just lack experience/problem solving skills.

Shall we remember how trading post used to work back then? How hard it was to simply SEARCH for an item.
Their solution to the problem is way better than how it was first implemented, but honestly this trading post search method is still HORRIBLE UI/UX wise.
Imagine a bad programmer who can’t code for sheet. Now imagine that programmer having to build a UI = dungeon finder

People aint got friends

Beating a dead horse. Devs will never fix this.

They will just keep adding more unfinished and unbroken paper bags of dog poop like Group Finder and Leaderboards instead of fixing known issues or adding content of value like OPR maps and different OPR game modes, automatic expedition queues or cross server OPR and expeditions ect ect

Not the greatest solution but, if you scroll all the way down and then back up you will see it updates normally

It’s tolerated because like many bugged quests that have been reported hundreds of times and still not fixed; we tolerate it because we know they won’t get fixed no matter how much you try to get their attention.

No different than chat lag that we tolerate, or how area chat repeats itself randomly. These are issues that shouldn’t exist in a MMO today but somehow they have difficulties fixing them. People just have gotten tired of bringing them up.

Or how in pvp, arena, duels, etc… sometimes people’s emblem/faction colors change randomly so you aren’t sure who’s enemy who’s ally…until you hit them of course. We first noticed this issue during group duels in open beta, reported them and it was never fixed.

Just New World things… where simple issues that should be fixed/updated don’t.
