Updated several key points as they’re getting adressed with the Brimstone update. Going to update the list further once we receive the updated Roadmap in the next developer update.
Imagine what this game could be. I really really hope that alot of these changes & features will be implemented and they continue to improve New World.

Even though a couple major features have been announced, I really hope the roadmap will reveal some more surprises to adress some of the core gameplay loop issues regarding things like Open World PvP.
But now with a (hopefully) larger playerbase longterm, they might be more active hiring staff again and we might see larger content updates in the next year. Fingers crossed.

I have to agree with this. Inspecting people and dps meters. No thx.

I definitely understand that there are two camps of people for this. One camp really enjoys information being public while the other camp likes to keep things hidden, either so nobody can copy their builds or to not feel embarrassed when performing poorly with a DPS meter in play.
I’m not sure what Amazon’s stance is on this, but I personally believe that dps meters are a little more controversial than inspecting people. As a middle ground an Inspecting would be fine, but to reduce toxicity in expedition runs etc. to a minimum, they maybe shouldn’t implement a DPS meter. I guess we’ll see what they do.
That is why this thread is not productive and divisive.
All that is not productive here is your comment. Going through the forums and posting the exact same comment under every active or big thread doesn’t add any value to any of those conversations.
So what’s the purpose? Feeling a little loose after work and looking for an opportunity to vent?
“Show the ingame time / day nightcycle” would be amazing if you can add this

Going to add this later when I have the chance to! Good suggestion.
Added a section for the Day & Night Cycle + Time.
Indeed, Scot went to the hairdresser ! 
maybe another one: scale the healthpool of enemys (like you do in mutations) and tie that to the level of the player or activate such system if you hit 60 so “low” level content gets actually more interessting. i dont like to run around in an level 20 area and just oneshot everything. it also makes open world pvp kinda more interessting tbh and bots will love it too.
This is one of the best posts about change on the game. Congratulations you made a great job.
Seams that they are working on a good direction, hope they’ll hire people and go faster (but stay healthy and no crush part è_ é )!
Adding my little stone with few PVE/custumisations points :
- More feminine appearance body and skin.(Very important for me) Currently feminine character look very androgyn. It cause a lot of my women friends to not want to give a try more on the game.
- Mounts, (i know, they are working on it) not only for the speed but i find it very ridiculous to see my character running litteraly miles with 70 pounds on the back. My dude is so dumb that he can’t take a horse for traveling xD. I imagine him at the end of the day, in the inn’s room, the feet full of blisters. +It’s making the light roll more effective than the heavy armor roll which is ridicule in terme of speed. (I understand that, but that is an other down point on heavy armor)
- Just a little fantasy from me, I would love to have more exploration things in the game. Climbing moutains and having rare minerals or hidden quest. And in order to have a more freefeeling exploration, why not adding the climbing feature that you can have in God of war when he stagg the climbable wall with his daggers. Or like in breath of the wild where you can climb a lot of vertical assets. It Could be awesome. Maybe having some climbing tools and why not skills too
It could be fun in War too, with nice ambush created by this new feature. - On the pvp part I would love to see 1v1 normalized arena mode. I love making duel in the open wolrd so a more competitive version could be so fun.
I love the game, and i Know that I can love it a lot more ^^ can’t wait to see how he will morph
Thanks for this post, but 2.0 sure way more than what’s in here I hope, the foundation is THERE, it’s AGS job to simply ignore or step up and attract more players to play/try with a really meaningful improvement not just nonsense marketing, my experience as a new player was… im still feeling empty, I don’t know why, I just newly advanced to 60 but those experience on leveling was a so-so for me, I can’t climb I can’t glide I can’t ride, just walking walking walking, the interact with others player so far was when I got killed accidentally as I turned on pvp at lvl 30, find same people on same mission(elite, etc), given coin/item by other kind player, turkulon winter event(got literally nothing except few item and coins) and expedition, I don’t have the chance to try opr or anything related to pvp like 3v3 yet because it’s hard to find and I’m not confident enough with my gear for now, even company or faction was useless so far, title? for what? house?? my everfall standing still not 30 so I save it for later… but I bet my experience was better than what it was year ago… anddddd the world population started to decrease oohhh noo
This game is almost completely free of toxicity, outside of a very small (10-15) players on the top company on the top of a server, and those players are pvp focused.
Any form of meters in this game will result in people simply forcing that information to be public (via ss’s in discord).
As for inspection, why about players like me? Who are tanking with Mage tank build, but tanking m10s better than sns/combos? Do you think that such an inspection process in the game will go well? Let me tell you the amount of people that decline me because i mage tank is actually insane. Most of the time its out right ignorance to the idea that “you do not need a shield to tank” (in fact, rapier far, far exceeds sns in tanking).
Then we come to the idea of rewarding players ( or the native benefits of complexity in game design) for finding new builds and meta-setting changes to the game (like i am currently doing with mage tank). I’d love to see a mage tank solo boss encounters in ennead, im willing to bet they cannot do it.
Both of these features are abusive. I’d like to approach them both with the question with what exactly are they bringing to the game that the game does not have?
You can obtain best in slot perks by asking, and you can obtain information about a players dps by simply groiuping with them. Players are able to test new perks and builds on dummies, its wht they are there for this is simply just an argument for laziness.
It does not take rocket science to see if you do 2k on one attack and swap perks and do 4k its a better option.
Elitism exists no matter if you put an inspect button into the game or not though. People are already asking to link your gear and weapons for M10s, and if you’re not using any of the meta-builds, chances are low to begin with that they’ll take you with them unless you run them in a premade group with your company or friends.
This is mainly rooted in the fact people have limited runs per week, so they’re less likely to take somebody in with a suboptimal build (in their eyes), even though you personally know it works just fine. Nobody likes to waste a run because somebody in your group is performing poorly, so people put a lot of emphasis on them atleast having a solid build ready.

Dont forget the large group of people who dont play the game but fill forums with their complaints about it.

I really appreciate the effort you put into this. So many posts are simply people complaining about something while not providing any real feedback. Plus, the concrete examples & mockups to give the devs ideas…well done.
Devs, if you aren’t reading this, you need to. This is a true alpha/beta tester right here.

is there any datamine ?
No datamines in this post, all based of community requests, which might or might not be released in the future. Some of the points obviously got announced by now though.
