Nothing failed about it, it’s in place and will stay in place. There are also in game ways to combat anything like taking the town. Nothing says “I’m not good at a game” like making excuses
Just stop playing this shit game with their shit designs.
Its irrevocably broken at this point, the miniscule population that remains of the massive player base that started this game just a few short months ago underscores that.
my suggestion would be that town/fort/buffs upgrades don’t cost anything and are solely reliant on the town board missions. all settlements should be faction owned to bring more unity to the factions as a whole. all tax revenue created is split evenly among every player that logged in that week of that faction.
I will probably call it quits when Elden Ring releases. I mean the developers of this game are just so downright bad and the fundamental design flaws so great with zero chance of ever being addressed. They can’t even be fucking bothered to give a simple statement that they know the tax system is wrong and busted and agree to start discussions on remedying it. Amazon has utterly failed in the video game business.
It would actually be a great and positive thing if factions as a whole benefited monetarily from town ownership. This would incentivize way more people to engage in territory pvp activities. It would also naturally cause more cooperation among faction members. With the current tilt towards companies getting 100% of the financial gain there is nothing but negative and toxic to be had from it. This should have been blatantly clear to so-called game developers when the idea was initially floated. These numbskulls were completely oblivious to the obvious outcome when they not only proposed but actually implemented this system. Just like the idiotic “make good”. Not a single one of them were intelligent enough to realize the obvious and how that would be totally abused by 100% of town owning guilds. This entire development team must be replaced if New World is to have a snowballs chance of ever recovering.
They are weeding out the weak players that ruined this game to begin with, the pve non flagging type will soon be gone so they can refocus and build the game they intended to build.
If only that were true.
Hey Troll boy… its gonna be working as intended!
- We learned a lot from lower housing taxes in December, and want to further reduce the costs and friction with taxes to players that own homes and have greatly reduced housing taxes. We also increased the amount of company revenue earned from housing taxes to not soften any disruption to their income. We are continuing to evaluate and make optimizations to our overall territory tax system, here are the changes introduced for the February Monthly Release (not in the PTR):
- Updated housing tax minimum band to 0.1% down from 5%.
- Updated housing tax maximum band to 1% down from 10%.
- Controlling company receives 5x coin from housing taxes.
They just need to tweak wars so defenders don’t win by default against more skilled and better geared attackers. Seen it kill many servers, especially post merge. The EF/WW reps trolling this thread are most definitely on the defender side.
I don’t like the gold I earn going to players that do absolutely nothing for me. It doesn’t matter how much gold I have or don’t have.

Taxes suck we have a clan of gold sellers maxing all towns and raking in all the $$$$$$
The WW and EF company members are easy to pick out here. It’s pretty obvious when someone defends such a disgusting game system as the tax system in this game…they are grossly benefiting from it. I know a lot of them have the default line that they’re not part of a town owning company bla bla bla…
yeah I get that. Thinking about it I do not like that either

So everyone who isn’t upset like you must be on the take? It just couldn’t be that some people aren’t upset like you?
I have no idea how that sentence pertains to the facts I laid out. If you’d like some further education please ask a logical question or state a logical opinion.
That is your quote. So if someone defends the current tax system, the only reason they can be doing it is because they are profiting from it. There is no other possible explanation according to you. Now think about what I posted. Maybe people aren’t upset like you, aren’t bothered by it, don’t think it is that big of a deal. According to you, that cannot be possible … those people must be profiting from it … ie they are what, just lying when they say they are not in one of the controlling companies?
Well I suppose there are real people that get off on physically hurting themselves and such. So yeah although the chances are slim I can stretch to imagine someone may actually enjoy such an overtly toxic and unfun system they they get zero benefit from.
No, it’s simply that you are totally wrong. People know it’s not an issue and you have a small amount of others crying against a designed system that impacts them in no way.
not only that but it would also add incentive to join the faction with the lowest population and push for land because there would be more money if there is less people and they take land.
Please provide evidence that everyone else is happy with the system? Maybe ask the 95% that stopped playing to come back and explain why they left.
Even with the changes the WW/EF owners are hitting it big. Hopefully with time they add real restrictions that stop those two territories from dominating allowing all territories to be worthwhile and therefore decent PVP targets.
To say the current system is fine is either complete ignorance or just lying to protect your RMT interests.
