I agree. I comb the TP every day for a three perk legendary piece of gear that also has the same 2 perks on my current “Epic” gear which we know a full 2 perk Epic gear build can be just as effective if not better than a mix of 3 perk Legendary + 2 perk Epic gear build. All depends on the perks and build.
I can’t complain about my gear, it’s very solid for 2 perks from Head to Feet. Although, my FS/IG are legendary and jewelry x2 Legendary w/ x1 Epic quality and all are 625GS.
And I agree, crafting needs to be improved 100%. What’s the point of crafting Legendary items with 0.1% > 1.0% chance at BiS when you can have 2-perk Epic quality BiS pieces which are more abundant from crafting since you can pretty much “force” two perks that you want. Crafters are sinking gold cap into crafting with little to no results of items they’ve hoped for but make a profit off of Epic “BiS” perks more often than not.
Is 5 extra perks in your gear it does can make a difference when you face a skill players vs skill player even more now with new perks that are coming out for pvp
I guess I haven’t paid much attention to gold sellers, but last time I saw them advertising in game, their rate was $1 per 1000 gold. So, 3m gold would cost $3k. Please for the love of god tell me that people aren’t paying that.
In a company discord that had pushed ef/ww on the same day on Camelot, they were all discussing gear upgrades and market availability for some bis they still needed.
They had all just spend $200+ on rmt coins to try and beat out Dawnguard.
Idk if they thought it through though, they likely bought those coins from DG in the first place without knowing it!
This whole thread just serves to underscore my assertion that New World is a libertarian economics simulator, and it brings me endless joy to see that aspect of it implode so constantly.
Reading posts like this about things getting worse and AGS learning nothing about their failures makes me even more happier I quit the game, even if I Didn’t got a refund.
It has to be better than it is now. 7months the game has been out. 7months I’ve played. 7months later and the only BiS gear I have is the shit I paid hundreds of K on the market for and it’s not fully BiS.
So… you’d figure… I should have SOMETHING worth a shit after 7 months. I’ve played every single day. Hours a day.
the RNG is busted AF and not a single one of you can argue this point with any hope of success.
You’re speaking of cheating, not P2W. P2W comes in when a dev supplies a service in the in-game store that gives a benefit to players who spend irl money for said in-game services. Good job on the click bait though, and getting yourself to up to the top recommended discussions.
While your argument about crafting is valid, your statement of the game being P2W is not. You’re stating that is impossible, or nearly so, to have enough funds to craft the gear sought after without cheating (aka RMT w/ gold farmers).
territory earnings should be removed or reworked into only being able to spent in towns as well, or at the very least should be reduced SIGNIFICANTLY. On top of that, PvP being only way to control a territory in an mmorpg which is supposed to offer to both PvE and PvP is ridiculous. I completely agree that crafting is just awful. imagine maxing the skill itself, grinding or buying all the trophies, all the gear, basically spending tons of hours and effort and ending up with a ridiculous lottery system… because of that, only the rich(territory owners) and people who buy gold via those sites can access top quality gear. In my opinion a crafter -after all that effort and time- should be able to craft whatever they want to, but i would settle for 2 perks + stats and a possible random 3rd perk at this point. i also believe town buff needs to go and gear and trophies should be more accessible.
I have “company” members that left the company to form their own for the sole purpose of holding gold because they’re gold capped multiple times. They’re not big on pvp content, never bought gold irl cause there wasn’t much a reason for it. They could easily buy a 5 piece BIS gear and probably still have a x00k left. Main reason why people aren’t getting gear is they’re doing stuff like OPR all day.
Also I’m in a competitive company on CoS. I’d say 90% of the gear our main army uses is 2 perk purples and we just took Windsward this past week. I’m willing to bet thats true of most of the competitive companies just because of how metas can change its hard to invest into BIS pieces that won’t be BIS in a month.
Every single company worth a damn moved to Maramma. Every other server is a mid tier PvP server. 3 Perk BiS companies are losing often. When the best companies on each server migrate to one server, of course mid tier companies can take windsward.
