I think they will change from b2p to f2p. And yeah, NW has big problems.

Now I wouldn’t say this a month ago, but all the content released is completely in the wrong order. With this new patch implementing umbral shards might have seemed like a good idea - ended up being a complete disaster. Prior before increasing the gear score, new content should have been released to back the grind needed. Mutations have created a huge diversity in players that can afford to participate versus those who simply can’t afford to buy runs once their orb has been used. Before the mutations they should have released:
- new zones
- new expeditions
- fixed all the previous bugs
- more instanced PvP content
- rated PvP content
- open world PvP events
The list goes on. Instead of implementing another useless grind, they should have polished on what they already had. Mutations would have been a great idea a year from now, but was 100% released too early.
A few more months/years this game will not exist… if it does it has gone from B2P to F2P with heavy micros…
That’s what has been foretold to happen and seeing as how every single other thing that was foreseen to happen has to come to pass… I’d say were right on track lol

Where have you seen me spam anywhere?.. or… OR!.. do you just toss around words while having no clue what they mean?

I think you should either re-read my post, or… OR!.. re-learn how to read entirely.
I never said that YOU specifically spam everywhere. But you did create, just like many others like you, this useless post about the same thing.
As I said - move on, geez. Are you really this beefheaded?
I posted on Alpha forums about 2 years ago…
It would absolutely be the best thing for this game, given that this has been an extended beta thus far.
Not a chance I would come back to have to compete with the numerous (probably over 70%) people that achieved their expertise by abusing busted game mechanics, buying gold, owning WW/EF for any period of time, or just botting themselves.
Only solutions are a total wipe and rework (best option imo); or make a fresh-start server (maybe even a dedicated pvp server) where nobody can transfer in (weaker option imo since the game will still blow without an overhaul).
I’m still playing NW, but I’ve decided I’m not going to spend any more money on it until I see if they go in a direction that interests me. To keep playing this game long term, I’m going to need some more content and QoL adjustments.

some ppls don´t start over right but most of the ppls have stoped playing way with lower gametime. So the 1000 ppls that stop playing are not counting for a rerelease strategie as they could not keep the game alive.
They may as well just kill the game and consider bringing it back reworked with new systems and under a new name.
There is no wipe for NW
I agree but what is the alternative?
Personally I was hoping they would continue with the skill-based part of the game and make the progression based on your weapon skills and add more so called elite skills. So instead of grinding GS, you would grind your weapon and (new) armor skills, making you progressively more powerful, using an exponential curve making it more and more difficult to progress, in whatever skill you are using, instead of random drops.
This could go hand in hand with gear progression, without the feel that you have to grind gear.
FFXIV didn’t even do that though. They let ppl play for free for like a year while they updated things. And then let ppl keep their progress when arr came out.
Right. I was more talking about why it became so popular and in the spotlight all of a sudden. NW is not going to get that type of benefit.

My mistake. I assumed everyone speaking/typing in complete English sentences had at the bare minimum some grasp of the language. The moment you typed “watch the game burn that “YOU” come and spam” you implicated me personally. Basic phonics skills and you would have known that if you wanted to continue to hold true to a broader spectrum then you should have typed “watch the game burn that (“YOU ALL” or “Y’ALL” or YOU GUYS”) come and spam". Basic language skills.
I second that, anyone insightful wanna enlighten me? The game is a lot older and peaking like crazy. What exactly happened? I think the combination of NW release dumpster fires and WoW lawsuit just shanked the MMO community and they reaped the benefits with having a greatly timed expansion release all at the same time. But idk.
Lost Ark will obviously take some players but the issue is not LA, it is NW’s gameplay. (I don’t play LA, looked it over and not the MMO for me)
It has been rehashed a lot. Now, will AGS listen? I have no idea. I like the world, the feel, etc., but a lot has to change and be added for me to even start considering a return. Mostly because I don’t think AGS devs know how to create a well rounded, balanced world (the balance issue also includes weapon/armor balancing). I don’t see them demonstrating proper, thoughtful changes. Furthermore, what most wanted was just fixes and QoL. The fact they ignored many simple changes and fixes to work on… ugh. Ugh ugh ugh.
At this point, what I want is for NW to be sold to a legitimate developer. It has so many key elements in place… just needs a team that can put it all together properly. Sorry AGS, that is how I see it at this point. A clear disconnect with players and a lot of rushed and ill thought through, panicky changes. AGS has done a number of proper moves and anyone with any sense knew that NW wasn’t going to support 500k+ per hour peak, but 100k+ was well within the possibilities. But nope.
I listed what happen in a different post in this thread.
FF has a huge following from an age old IP.
WoW was losing many players because of the Lawsuits and another poor expansion full of crap systems. Those players needed a new home.
People were asking Asmongold to try out FF. Asmongold finally caved and started playing FF. Millions of people watched his stream and bought the game because of it.
Other big streamers took note and followed the trend too. Previously it was unheard of for streamers to change games because of fear of losing their audience. Asmongold broke that trend.
FF14 took off the charts basically because of Asmongold. It had already a decent following but nothing like today. It is a good game so a lot of those players stuck.
This all happened before NW btw. Not just because of expansion.
I get what ur saying bro… your language just didn’t match, nor did the thought process.
