Friendly? Not sure. I try and run lower level players threw an expedition once a night and I leave them alone when I see them flagged.
Even with the lack of content you see most of us complain about now won’t affect you for some time. But the game has tons of fun to be had to pay itself off.
Yes is the short answer.
Most of the players are at end game, but the solo progression to end game is quite fun.
You can most probably get to end game in 2 weeks if you play a couple of hours each day.
Honestly, don’t buy it.
Yes
Honestly, no it’s not new player friendly. If you find a community or group of people you wanna play with, that’ll help ease the process.
No way. I have about 1800 hours in game. I made a new char and got him to 60, it was a horrible experience. Can’t do expeditions because pre 60 base is so small. Some quests need more than 1 to complete story line. You will be mostly solo to 60.
Even joining companies didn’t help me. Most companies have cliques, a main small group of people that are friends or play together excclusively.
It did get a little better after 60 but still most of the players are doing M level expeditions. You can get groups but it does take a while.
Finding even now on my main, with 620 GS, the population is so small, I find it hard to get regular groups and I am on the second largest populated server. If you like mind numbing chest runs, they happen a few times a day. I love the game but very depressing
You definitely get your moneys worth in my opinion. The main issues with the game come in the end game and pretty much boil down to a lack of content but it takes a lot of hours to get there. Also there is no sub or anything.
Wait for the console version if it comes out one day.
AGS, reading all of these comments, don’t you think it’s time for cross-server dungeons?
Not only dungeon, but also OPR, Arenas, TP, etc.
Love that, cross-server dungeons would fix a lot of issues.
Don’t do the mistake to come New World…
New World is not player friendly at all. Everyone plays solo or 5 people friend dungeon group and does not care others.
New World is full of bots, mega alt account barons, exploiters, aimbot cheaters, gold sellers and gold buyers, territory owner exploiters to earn millions of gold weekly from single territory as thy hold x3 territory for +1 years already so noone can fight against them.
OPR pvp, 3vs3 pvp and fortress sieges pvp are total joke. Open world pvp and pve are empty…
New World right now is mega grind. Only p2w players who buy illegal gold can get the full BIS gear to fight against other old p2w BIS geared players to compete in pvp and pve… Otherwise, you will never catch them unless you play the game like real-time job to play over +8 hours daily…
EU region is dead. Trade post market prices are insane.
I enjoy the game. AGS has had more than their fair share of mishaps, but honestly the combat is quite fun and unlike any other mmo out there at the moment. There are many other options than there were in the past, so the population will fluctuate based on content drops quite a bit. Forums for any game get quite emotional, so don’t take everything said here as truth lol.
The game will probably look very different a year from now with the release of mounts and a future expansion, so you would probably have an easier time finding lower level people to grind away with at those times.
Just be weary it will be tough to hang with pvp crowd since everyone sticking around is good at the action style combat of new world for the most part. I think a lot of mmo players got filtered hard by not having tab target combat, so it’s possible to get completely dumpstered in pvp until you put the time in, but you can always team up with people and learn much faster that way.
Tldr: Game will look way different by end of year and you must be okay with getting destroyed in pvp for a while.
If you want play pve. Then untill endgame it is friendly and fine for casual players.
Moment you get to endgame pve - not so much.
When it comes to pvp. No. Its not. You will fight vs best geared and most skilled veteran players on all game modes starting day 1.
the game itself is nice, would even recommend an ironman… just try to avoid pvp / m10 pve. toxic as hell
Of course. The new pve front end is amazing. 50 dollars and no sub gives you hundreds if not thousands of hours. There is no alternative game with better PVP atm, it is no more or less toxic than any other end game content anywhere. Less probably. It’s not dead, don’t pick a low pop server to start on. Have a great day!
It is somewhat New Player friendly if you’re somewhat social competent.
With the upcoming Patch crafting gets buffed for Players within the leveling phase.
PvE is fine, we do have some entertaining dungeons, combat system is engaging and using different weapons is a lot of fun.
Cant say much about PvP as i never enjoyed it in any game.
So true
How big is your wallet? It has been a RMT run game since launch.
Throne and Liberty is coming within 2023.
Aion Classic coming 12th April.
PVP is not great… You cannot get into that so called Fortress Sieges ever if you are not part of the owning territory guild. Attackers are the hired 3rd party of the territory owning guilds most of the time. 3 major guilds from each faction dominate everything.
OPR, 3vs3 - good luck having fun to fight against pre-made groups, aimbot cheater bow users (musket is ruined already).
