My Feedback after around 2500+ Hours of playing New World

Hello Forum Users, Hello AGS,

I’m sorry to say this but i’m actually about to stop playing New World.

I started playing the Alpha - played the Beta, was one of the first who started the first charakter on release. I love New World. It’s such an amazing Game. You’ve improved so much!! I love to see that. I saw how everyone left the game, saw all the hate and all the love. Me personally? I stayed positive since i think that this is the best MMORPG ever made.

Well, here i am with my Feedback to the Game.

The Beginning

Jeez, alot of people playing the game. You weren’t able to finish a quest where you have to kill a specific Mob :smiley: Took you 10 Minutes to kill the first corrupted (small) Elite. Loved it. It was fun. 1500 Players on a Single Server. It was huge. It was amazing.

After some time, i got annoyed. Because it were EVERYWHERE… After some more time, people left the game… ALOT of them left the Game. We had even more fun, more ressources to farm. I was able to find stuff i have never seen before. It was my first game where i haven’t slept for 42 Hours…

I loved it!!!

The Time between then and now

New World improved even more. The Void Gauntlet, The Blunderbuss. The Events, New Ressouces, Bug fixes here and there also stuff the community asked for. Huh, my first break from the game (3 Months). I came back with alot of suprises. Alot changed, New Dungeons, New Taxes etc etc etc. It was fun. Nothing else to say here either. You improved even more.

The here and now …

New World’s BIGGEST Update. Brimstone. Love to see it. It’s amazing work (I tested it on the PTR) The new Dungeon looks amazing, the new features are amazing, the map looks stunning! The change of the mobs is amazing looking. I love the little armadillos :smiley: They are so cute ^-^
Good job!!

Let’s start with the “not so good” stuff. And i’m worried about that i’m not the only one who thinks like that.

PvP

I’m not able to say alot about PvP. I tried it and failed miserably because i’m not focusing on PvP and i’m not goot at it. I hear alot of hate because of healers are too op etc etc… But that’s nothing i can give feedback about. Sorry for that. Also i have noticed that some kind of perks on Rings / Amulets etc are overpowered af … “If you don’t have it, don’t go for PvP”

Bugs

I don’t wanna talk about Bugs. Bugs are happening and you’re working on them, we see that.
Bugs are annyoing, we know that. But atleast you’re trying your best.

PvE / General Stuff

Since you guys have increased the player cap to 2500, the game is no longer in my interests.
2500 in one Server is just too much… Yes, you have more players that can join an “Elite Train”. Yes you have more Dungeons to run and what’s missing? …
ALL the ressources are gone. I have done my own routes of farming. I literally can’t find anything anymore.

  • Iron
  • Silver
  • Lodestone**
  • Starmetal
  • Orichalcum
  • Wyrdwood trees
  • Ironwood Trees
  • All kinds of Motes

You can be lucky, if you find some. But it’s a HUGE difference when it was only 1500 per Server. Sadly that’s a big nogo for me and actually the only reason i’m about to lose interest.

From the Morning (after my work is done) around 9am, the Servers are already half full of players. Can’t farm. Around 2pm Server is around 2100 / 2500 full. Can’t farm … 7pm … Server is at around 2400/2500 Players… Guess what … I can’t farm anything. After that, i already saw 2500/2500 with 800+ Players in queue.

I know the reason behind this is = Wake up early, grab your farm and be happy… But not everyone is able to do that. Casual players that can play 2 Hours a day can’t do anything anymore(farming related). Except dailys or do their quests if they are below 60.

It is 10am currently :

My Suggestion for this problem :

Go back to 1500 Players per Server. (Before you do that, give everyone a free Transfer token)
Open up more Servers.

I’m not saying “More Ores, more ressources” because you will break the Server even more. More Ressources = more lag etc etc

Lodestone

**(Before PTR) Since they found out that you need lodestone for runes and crafting in the future, you cannot find any lodestone on the map anymore. You can buy it … 1x Lodestone ore = 4.50 Gold each … That’s hillarious

The End

I really think that you made an amazing job over the last year (and before) keep going. But we need a solution for the comback … And increasing the cap wasn’t the go.

P.s :
I don’t want to start a discussion here, this is my opinion on New World now and before.
You are free to leave a comment but please respect my opinion.

Thank you for listening.

//EDIT

The idea of “instanced” ressources i just found is an accaptable solution or Random spawns for Ores / etc. I love the idea. Because players / Bots can’t just run to the route and start farming everything. Now we have to run around to find stuff.

Hey !

Really good feedback. If you could divided it in smaller post it would help a lot. (Keep 1 idea per post)

I am in a similar boat as you OP.

I enjoy running around in game and do a metric ton of farming, but farming has become such a chore now that (along with other issues like my houses not calculating to be shown) that I simply do not feel compelled to log in.

I was also turned off by the game when I finally hit 200 crafting for furniture only to find out that the 1000 slot chest pattern goes for over 100k and is EXTREMELY rare. What is the point of leveling professions to be self sufficient, if you cant be self sufficient. Its a complete joke.

I did not mind farming when my server was around 1500 people and even then the “popular” areas were usually being farmed, but occasionally I could get stuff from them. Now, its not even possible and the most remote areas to farm often have people camping.

Hello Kalpas,

thank you for your comment.

Alot of people already created solutions for this situation. I do not need to open another post. I don’t like seeing 1000 Posts about the same issue. :slight_smile: That’s why i just said it here. I know the Devs / Community Manager / etc are going to read this since it’s feedback.

TO me, this is the perfect solution for this game…

Just make it instanced, with higher respawn times. If players want to spam gather ONE resources (like Lodestone or Ori Ore) they will need to travel ALL around the map, which frankly is a good thing. Having people venture to various other towns/zones. Maybe moving homes there based on farming routes, etc.
