Yet, 99.9999% legendaries are absolute Garbage! Because of random stats and perks. Most legendaries are totally worthless. It’s not like other games where a Legendary would have attack power and Stats corresponding to the weapon type, making them incredibly valuable.
In Games like Silkroad, a Legendary weapon (Seal of Sun) had an amazing animation that showed what it was. And it had the ability to acquire power beyond normal enhanced weapons. Seal of Suns were so valuable they sold for like 2000 dollars! On average.
Legendaries in New World cannot obtain that value, even if you make them super rare. Legendaries are just 1 quality more than epic. Just a color change.
You might be right, you might not. You are creating a false assumption easily proven wrong. Everything in this game happened before they told us about it.
I would absolutely embrace a subscription model if they would deliver more content.
It always baffles me what a narrow minded view many pve players seem to have of the pvp community. The pvx community is big and extremely varied. I have met players from all walks of life and all age groups in open map pvp. Arenas are less diverse, from the bit of experience I have with it (I hate arenas, they are not my kind of content at all).
The poster in that specific post you seemed to reply to, said simply more open world pvp content, and I very much agree with that. Some fun engaging mechanics, nothing to do with full flag and full loot. I am going out on a limb here, but I believe that is a niche slice of the pvp community. We all pvp, yes, but this simply means player versus player instead of player versus environment. I compare it to enjoying to have an opponent on the other side of table tennis, instead of pushing the table against the wall, then playing against the wall. Pvp tends to be more challenging, as players are less predictable than a programmed environment. I am a grandmother, I have little doubt that gaming overall, but pvp in particular, has aided me to keep my reflexes well honed.
So yes, it is a diverse community, and with diverse taste. I personally enjoy open map pvp, and Lotro, ESO, GW2, all have offered differing takes on this concept, with lots of fun to be had. Swtor and PWI pvp servers did not add any specific pvp map content, and for most parts, even on the pvp servers, there was very little pvp happening.
I find myself logging off and playing other games now, THE main culprit… 0 OPR ques in the past 18 hours… There is literally nothing left to do besides do OPR or Mutators in between wars
I realize the PvX community is wide and varied, having played MMOs for over 3 decades. I also understand what the poster was suggesting, thankyou for clarifying because as a great grandmother at 78, ofcourse I need someone to explain the meaning behind a post, god forbid I retain my full faculties at my doddering old age.
This game was and is marketed as PvE with opt in PvP elements “In the current design, players in New World experience PvP by opting into Faction conflicts and Wars for territory ownership. Opting into these PvP experiences will be extremely rewarding, often granting you exclusive in-game bonuses and rewards for your efforts.” Openworld PvP is not the focus and hasn’t been the focus of AGS since 2019 so why should content be created just to appease the minority and PvPers are the minority. It isn’t enough that AGS granted a bonus luck mechanic for flagging…if you want PvP go OPR or war.
I play MO2, Rust and I still currently play PWI for sentimental reasons, MO2 and Rust I knew what I was getting into because they advertised their product as exactly what I wanted at the time and as for arenas, if you played PWI then you would know the balanced gear system for the arena was far more successful and appreciated than the original free for all system and given the limited playerbase is still one of the most popular instances.
I still play PWI for sentimental reasons, but as I already mentioned, I am not an arena player. I never partook in that content, yet I did play on a pvp server at some point. I also played in the Lotro Ettenmoors for years (open map pvp), and I spent countless hours in Cyrodiil, and even more countless hours in GW2 wvw.
Apologies you seem to feel stepped on your toes, but your response to that poster sounded unwarranted aggressive to me, when all the poster had asked for was some additional map pvp content, instead of just shifting the pvp into arenas. This game has remained focussed around the faction and settlement mechanics, which are inseparably linked to pvp acitivities. You say the game changed course since 2019, yet this is an article from February 2020, and it might be due to interpretation, but to me it seems they did not waver from this base idea.
It also seems to depend who one talks to, in regards to how this game was advertised. A friend and guild leader of mine in ESO, when I mentioned that I was going to play New World, told me she was not going to touch New World as it was a pvp game, and she feels a deep rooted hate for all things pvp. I myself researched the game and saw it as a pvx game with heavy focus on open world pvp activities, not forced activities, yet activities strongly supported via targeted content nonetheless.
It appears players interpreted New World’s promises according to personal bias. Clever marketing ploy, but also clearly a recipe for disaster.
They need to do both. Whatever gave people the notion it’s one or the other is just ludicrous. There is no reason a game can’t attract all types of players, and many have already done this.
I hope you know how much of an idiot you sound right now. First off, making the argument “you shouldnt complain about the lack of content because you dont have a job and play all day” is stupid and irrelevant because 1) I have a job 2) I go to school and 3) its not that hard to get through content in this game, especially when there is a total of 2 dungeons that you mindlessly run through and call it “endgame”.
Im also not sure if at some point you got hit in the head. Youre absolutely right, lets add a monthly subscription to a game thats hanging on for dear life and will lose anything its kept.
ignoring the fact that monthly subscriptions are the biggest scams in games, No one is willing to pay monthly for a game that offers literally nothing enjoyable after reaching a certain point.
regularly, I would just call you off as a child but judging from your comments you should be embarrassed because you clearly didnt do well in math
Mind you: Im only talking this way because you came in hot with your brilliant ideas and start trash talking everyone in the forums.
You pay 40 bucks for a game which is basically a 6 pack of Red Bull, Bag of frozen tendies, and some honey mussie sauce. Then you expect the game to provide you with endless entertainment that you blow through because you have nothing, and then you come here and boo hoo like a narcissist.
Subscriptions work, there is nothing you can argue that proves otherwise. Wow and Eve have been around since before you were born kid due to subs.
Sounds like you need to take a break or just continue to pitch fits in this forum I don’t care.
