While I do love the fact that monthly patches are a thing, I don’t think there is enough time to allow for a patch to be property tested by the dev team themselves. How is it that a patch will work on the PTR but when it goes live it’s busted? I truly love New World and I enjoy every aspect of the game and I see a bright future here… but I can’t help but think that the lack of internal testing or auditing doesn’t seem to be happening. Where are the team leads that check everyone’s work to make sure that things work? Are the devs too short staffed to allow for things to make it into the live version and not be broken?
To make this game great once more there needs to be supervisors who check the work. I really want New World to succeed and I continue to buy things from the in game store just to make sure that work keeps moving forward. I’m just getting frustrated that things have been said they were “fixed” and in fact weren’t, or changes were made and new bugs were added.
Maybe if AGS switches to quarterly patches then the content might come out in a better state. I realize that the game doesn’t have much for population left anymore but do you really want to see your 6 million dollar baby die off because the dev team keeps pushing new content and internal testing is failing at their job?
Something has to be done
