New, Fresh Start Servers, one day

[January, 2022.] UPDATE:

The original name of this thread was: “Servers Wipe, Seriously”. But it was in October, 2021.
And now? Now it is too late for total wipe, obviously, so the only option left is to add new, fresh start servers. BUT… First of all, they need to fix all the most impactful bugs/exploits/etc… Its not gonna happen any time soon, i guess… Maybe one day in the future… maybe…
Amazon Games is still a newbie, crawling dev. company, with dubious management and unclear/shady/uncertain decisions.
Thats why over 800 000 people left this game.

So, this thread got new name: New, Fresh Start Servers, one day…


…Amazon…
So many bugs, gold exploits and now its more and more, every day:

[BUG EXPLAINED] Received no gold for selling? House compensation error?

Another Game-Breaking New World Exploit Has Been Discovered

You can coding now just using ingame chat.

[EXTREMELY CRITICAL] Duplication Exploit

Update:
Another week, another exploits, and again, dupers will get ban for 24 hrs (instead of perma ban).
And again, market and coins transfer disabled, probably due to trophy duping.

Update:
New week, new issues. This time we are going back to the future. :upside_down_face:

  1. Our server just jumped 63 days into future..
  2. Adiri [Probably also the game] is borked again..
  3. Xibalba US East just kicked everyone for AFK, skipped forward a month in time, and then went down for maintenance..

Update:
People getting tons of random gold from AGS. :dizzy_face:

Update:
“I believe i can fly” bug/exploit or maybe new feature…

Update:
[New Exploit/Glitch] Setting up tent outside War Camp gates causes those exiting to get stuck in them. :man_facepalming: :woman_facepalming:

Update:
New patch and millions of bugs…


Amazon, if you finally fix all of the most impactful bugs/exploits/etc., maybe you should consider t̶o̶t̶a̶l̶ ̶s̶e̶r̶v̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶p̶e̶ to add new, fresh start servers?
Of course, if you finally fix all the most impactful bugs/exploits/etc… before users abandon game…

This game is like alpha tests, or very early beta. It should be in early access.

We all (mostly)know, youre The Beginner in gaming development and publishing, thats why there is a really big chance that players will treat you lightly and turn a blind eye to your current stumbles and falls.
Of course, after such a mess and a botch you made, you have to prepare some kind of compensation for players.

NO WIPE, TOO LATE, DUDE :expressionless:

And no money from the Amazon or any other source can fix it, because the servers are already ruined by all these bugs and exploits.
It doesn’t matter how rich Amazon is. The servers are already ruined, the economy, playebrase, etc… And they won’t do anything about it, unless they have a time machine or magic ball (that ones from amazon store or aliexpress doesnt count).

That is the reality. :frowning_face:

The number of players will keep decreasing overnight, in the near future they start to servers merge, because no one will want to play on a server with ~300 people during prime time.
And in the meantime, new bugs and exploits will emerge, like the fresh one about coding by using ingame chat - imagine you can spawn items using in-game chat… Cool, right? Well, No.

If Amazon doesn’t do anything about it, then New World will be abandoned by players and die after all (which I personally wouldn’t want to experience).

And recently the popular saying ‘New World, same crap’ will be most appropriate.

Just wipe away hundreds of hours from all the players, that wouldn’t kill the game on the spot. Especially when AGS has the tools and the technology to fix most of these problems without a reset or a rollback.

The fact they are actually patching in back to back days is a massive improvement of addressing the problems and I’m looking forward to more of it.

I dont think theres a point if so many issues with the game still exist, everything would just happen again

Yeah I think the thousands of players would not appreciate reseting hundreds of hours of game time each.

Fixes are in order tho.

u call making me do that stale questline again compensation ?

Yes, exactly. Thats happen when you play early access/early beta tests of the game.
And it doesn’t matter if you play 20 hrs or 200.

I know, they released this “product” as a full game, not early alpha/beta, but well… Happens…
Like i said, wipe the servers now till its not too late.

After all these problems game already lost about 60%-70% of players?
And ist not surprised, again, thats happen, when you release early access/ early beta state of the game.

For example - Albion Online had several wipes and now? Now its very healty game with huge popullation.

Some suggestions are just so ludicrous… that I actually can’t think of a reason not to say the following… Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

This game has the Questline? :dizzy_face:

all im hearing is

“i wanna start over, and i would like to force everyone else aswell because i didnt get to benefit from various bugs like others did”

guess what , me neither but i dont have time to care, i just want to have fun. Wipe =/= fun. hell to the no to that.

thats fair

I agree. My wife, friends, and myself love this game and have hundreds of hours invested, BUT a wipe is necessary at this point. Yes, the game would lose some player base but those who understand and love this game would return.

Most of the people that are complaining and say they would quit if a wipe happened are probably those who cheated in the first place.

Hundreds of hours playing since launch and we are only level 47. Why? Because we enjoy the journey. Level 60 means nothing to us, but all the gathering, mining, crafting, exploring is absolutely awesome, and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

This would be the final nail in the early death spiral of New World. There has to be a better fix and a complete reset.

Just wait, it looks like they’re finally very close to implementing and fixing transfer, so they can finally focus on other important things. I’m sure we’ll see way more significant changes addressing majority of all issues.

Transfers?! They need to start merging servers/worlds

The people suggesting ALL of these Albion online changes are worse than the people suggesting all the freaking WoW changes. Permanent gear breaking just because you are using it, full character and server wipes, always PvP zones and full loot PvP all do not belong here.

If AGS can do it without a wipe I’m all for it. BUT, it would need to repair all the cheating that went on. So maybe remove everyone’s gold and give everyone maybe 10k to start with? or remove everyone’s storage of mats, cause they bought it with their gold they duped? I don’t know how to fix this broken economy without a wipe ( Once the bugs are fixed of course ). But it’s not fair to all the players to allow the cheaters and gold dupers to keep their items at this point. Is it?

You are quite right. The problems are very clear and impactful. Going to be some pain to right this ship.

Youre wrong, my friend. I dont care about other players benefit stuff but i do care about this games healty, because i really like this game.
I have everything i wanted atm and i havent even got lv 60 (220+ hrs of playtime).
Im “old timer”, who plays MMO(RPG) genre from the late 90s (Meridian release times).
And trust me, i saw (almost) everything and i can imagine, how NW ends if they dont do something, if they dont fix all the mess ASAP.

Looks like there are some players who understand the problem and its consequences. :+1:
