I am a fan of the game. I was in Closed and Open Beta. The game has never been as fun since closed beta OW madness where no one cares to level and always flagged.

I have around 1k hours for reference.

Played at launch, was fun. Then wars happened and everything started to crumble. Dupes (game breaking), bots, and war exploits. Etc etc.

My thought was that, they will get it fixed, give them time. Their communication and speed of responses was good. Then……

The game got sweaty, you where either grinding as a pve player or looking for PvP wars. Neither felt truest rewarding because of all the above reasons. Game lost its validity.

Dupes got fixed, they seemed to ban a lot and had logs under control. Still this whole time everfall, windsward players where making free gold, to a level so ridiculous it allowed the market to be completely trashed. Bots, prime owners ran everything. Some better than others.

I quit, after 625 came out. Just thinking… how the fuck you already raising GS. Grind more get new gear again? Not quite the case but still. For such a broken game it seemed off putting.

Now, Sept. 2022, give the game another shot.

Game felt great at first, the movement and combat feel good. Balance is still trash but it was a pleasant return full of copium.

After about a week, I was back to dailies and dungeons and the like. Game is much better now for everything BUT PvP.

OPR is still terrible, muskets feel really dumb. Bow is insanely strong too but the way you have to aim. Not as bad. No match making, land slide games of sweaty no lifers vs. returning players.

Arena is a little better but if one team has a life staff and you don’t. GG. No match making, playing the same people over and over.

Unfortunately I really only play to PvP and the allure of OW PvP. Which doesn’t exists anymore. On top of that, the balance is not good and is very hard to even wrap your head around now with them being so quick to change/add perks.

Need to fix:
The performance is still trash and the system power pull intense.

Lack of healing options force LS to just have to be OP. Big core issue.

Things like muskets in OPR just feel so bad. With no real way to ever address having a hit scan weapon in a game like this. Na.

But here is the main problem, the gamers want “content” which they have been providing and not fixing the core issues. They have done a lot of improving but soooooo far from being a solid game. This means those core issues are so rooted in the game, a real fix is probabaly year away.

I hope the game a long future. Will be back at another release in the future to try again.

I hope so too, and I hope between now and when you come back again you find a game that’s working the way you want it to. :slight_smile:

Your “I play only to PvP” should be enough for the devs to ignore this post. 99.9% of forum posters and trolls/whiners are pvpers.

You and PvP (5%) ruined NW and will continue to do so for the absolute majority of PVE players who make up 95% of the mmorpg gamer population.

First you ruin combat by removing the third slot leading to an incomplete feeling of an ability based PVE-friendly combat rotation, then you mislead the devs with the wrong priorities of having them put all their focus on PvP when that alone will never see the game get out of its niche little tiny world of “I play NW only to PvP”.

Seriously just go play overwatch or valorant if all you wanna do is PvP. Makes no sense to spend years of your lives grinding PVE gear just to PvP in an imbalanced PvP system in an mmorpg.

Not a lot of points to debate with you about.

But I will point out this game was sold as a hardcore PvP game…. And they added pve in the end stages.

So I guess what you are saying is the game is not for anyone interested in PvP? Or simply, we ruin the game because you don’t PvP.

The game was a survival game, PvP was an after thought and when they saw the mass exodus of players wanting PVE and not finding it, inexperienced devs started to wake up finally.

Accurate.

Weapon Balance in general is extremely off, OPR has not been updated in an entire year, Open World PvP is completely dead in the water, Fort fights are uninspired, the PvP Reward Track is lacking on every level and Arena is just kinda bland.

It’s great how many updates the PvE side of the game is getting and it has massively improved since launch, but we desperately need some MAJOR updates to PvP to improve on all of these lackluster aspects.

it’s the little things that kill… AGS doesn’t get that

Update, I reinstalled the game. I lasted about 3 hours of OPR and 3v3.

My final thought, I want to like the game, the combat is fun but you have layered so much bullshit in, any kind of balance is impossible. You couldnt balance the game before, no way you can do it now. The new strategy seems to be add mechanic on mechanics.

GL I will return when PVP is cross server and match making is a thing.

Agree with u. AGS is terriblely bad to fix the issues. We still have bots in game.

And so has WoW. FFXIV. Lost Ark. Literally every single mmo in existance now is completely satiated with bots
I can barely see obvious bots until I go look for them, which is literally the same case in any mmo besides LA maybe.

Before the game even launched it was at its peak. PvP was abundant and everywhere. As my steam review says, I’ll come back when they add a PvP server.

Bots do mistakes.
My post about anti bot system.

13

AGS doesn’t care to fix that, imo.

AGS, hire me if u want to find solutions for u game OK? Hahhah

I give them alot of credit for what they have done in only 1 year. I am excited for what they come u p with for PVP in about a yearish.
