If you were in charge of New World for 1 day

I would get rid of the Forum…

The forum should be a good place where people can come together and enjoy a lively discussion about New World…

Instead, it has become a place where you can bully, tear down and harm other people on the forum… Including all the bashing of AGS…

So taking down the forum would probably be a plus for AGS as there probably wouldn’t be as much vitriol about the game.

-Quicker bug fixes so that when I try to hand in 2 faction quests I am not left with two completed quests that won’t hand in… then to find out this is a but since at least November 15th and there was never a reply and the post gets shut down (not my post).

Why bother when the developers are not fussed? Yes, that is exactly how Amazon work.

Stop bullying people then?

That is the kind of behavior I am talking about…

Nothing I said could ever be considered bullying…

Stop bullying me…

No one is bullying you…

The “situation” you speak of is not from one direction, it is individuals. You ignore said individuals.

To “suggest” shutting down forums because people are critical of the game (we ignore silly individuals that are trolling, because we are not silly ourselves) is trying to brand those critical as “bad people”… so yes, you are passively “bullying” others.

Ignore the obvious trolls, let people actually discuss issues they might face. Heck, make posts about what is positive too if you feel like it.

From what I have seen there have been some “nasty attacks” on those trying to voice concerns, probably by just trolls, and you appear to not want to allow for negative comments about the game.

If you put your head above the parapet then you will get some flak, how you handle it is more important. So “Shut down the forum” is a win for the trolls. “Bullying” works in many ways, and shutting down the ability to discuss is a way of “bullying” players into accepting a third rate game with some really nice polish.

I would announce that the entire game is going offline for a period of 6 months to 1 year for a complete overhaul with bi-weekly updates provided to the community. All players that have already purchased the game that log in within the first 30 days the game goes live again and play for at least 30 hours within a month would receive a unique gift that will never be offered in the game again.

… I do not think you understand people. I also do not think you understand gaming forums. This forum is no different than any other forum I have seen in a decade or more.

I was actually talking about all the trolling that is going on in the forum… not discussions…

If you read the first part of my statement you would see this…

As the forum stands right now… It is full of trolling and bullying… this isn’t good and AGS needs to stop it somehow.

Some of the comments can be devastating to the people they are bullying…

It needs to stop…

And your attack on me, needs to stop too. It wasnt constructive, nor was it a conversation…

You said this when I did not bully anyone…

So you were the bully, not me.

Dungeons free to enter but locked to 3 a day per character. When mutations hit same 3 a day per mutation and max 10 “completions” a week to prevent over farming.

It wasn’t an attack so I will not take you seriously.

But yes, moderation of this forum appears horrendous in many aspects.

I’ve explained, you obviously have severe hangups and I can’t do much about that. If you consider this bullying then I don’t think anyone can help you.

Actual “nasty” intent or “trolly” people can just be ignored. Or you can shut down the forum… whichever you think is more reasonable…

Don’t worry I won’t pay you any more attention if this upsets you, sincerely.

ban you for wasting your 1 wish on something a trivial as that

I would eliminate open world PvP except duels and create a lot more instantiated PvP options.

I think that would lower the toxicity quite a bit.

I would be satisfied with a more square shape of the invisible box around mobs. Right now it feels like pushing a slippery cylinder with another cylinder.

Fix the damn weapon switching so we can swap weapons without a spastic delay or just straight buying and showing wrong weapon so you get murderd

Remove Gypsium mechanics. Reintroduce when new DLC launches with 620 max GS, where everyone with the DLC gets boosted to 600, and you can only raise 1 item per day.

PvE and PvP only servers.

Reduce GS/crafting grind by 5 times.

Cash Shop to boost gathering/weapon/crafting/GS. No-lifers are already maxed anyway so let others pay to max.

Level 60 versions of all dungeons, and easy to get keys (should only take 30 minutes max).

an back on topic! give me your dank ideas and sweet memes!

I don’t like this idea too much only in regards to increasing the GS simply because I believe it is far too early in the games development to be introducing a power creep its something personally I want to avoid as much as possible power creeps make ur achievements of the past less validated because that content becomes stale but again just my opinion

I would put a lot of efforts into making combat much more dynamics, and ensure all characters have at least one good movement ability.

I would add some more impactful items drops sound effects

I would rework how the luck system currently work

I would probably avoid doing balance changes too often, and set a specific frequency for those (similar to seasonal games)

But overall, I’m happy with what we have now -
