I like this game. I am having fun. If that ever changes, I will move on.
Having said that, I do have friends who have left for one reason or another. The most common of those is “no PvP activities until level 55+”
I have to agree. I am taking my time, seeing the sights, and leveling organically with no hardcore grind. I would LOVE to have some sort of instanced activities devoted to PvP for us mid-level players. Higher level players could be “adjusted” to participate (gear adjustments to match.) As it is, literally my only choice for PvP at my level is open world flagging, which means any random level 60 can more or less one-shot me. That’s not PvP.
Anyway, yes, this game had monumental issues that need to be fixed ASAP. In the meantime, I’ll hang out for a while.
That statistic cannot be true, if this weights in all characters created then ofc loads of new and unused characters are going to bring averages down.
The 5th week in before quitting (and roughly when the quid exodus began), a 1/3 of my server (UK main server) or more was lvl 60, half of 33% is 16.5%, 14% is simply not true. I will happily slam this game to death but it’s not exactly a terrible experience to get to 60 I’d say.
Sub reddits are always the safe space because they have loads of pesky mods…it’s really a huge infringement on free speech but should be what you’re after
Honestly, is anyone anticipating the December update? Imagine they introduce something akin to 1.1 mid December and then it’s two weeks holiday break over Christmas and New Year where they can basically fix nothing.
What content could come anyway? The only thing planned are more expeditions and Brimstone Sands. I highly doubt they have Brimstone Sands finished yet and more expeditions - who wants them when not even Lazarus and Genesis are done due to the horrible tuning orb mechanic, the incredibly high repair costs and the trash loot you get there?
The December update can basically only be bug fixes and more “convenience” stuff. Anything else will be a major risk for the game because of how bad they are at patching and fixing their broken patches.
I’m a member of them. You all are flooding all of them. You don’t have any free speech or constitutional right to post anything here or or Reddit. You are allowed to post it at the discretion of the people that own Reddit and New World.
People that don’t understand what freedom of speech is are kind of annoying. The government doesn’t protect your right to post on internet forums. What’s allowed is at the discretion of the owners.
Proof of concept, go try to join r/Conservative and post bad things about conservatives and see how fast you get banned from that sub.
not surprised. When I give up on a game this early It’s a bad sign. I still play dead games. Just cant find the desire to log on and I’m obv in the majority.
and I bet those “bad things” are summarized by brandishing the “Toxic” and “Racist” cards etc
You can dispute people like Alex Jones, he needs some facts with his verbal.
Yes ofc you are right the Government isn’t doing enough, we will have to see the conclusion in the next 5-20 years, the internet being a common place for practically every single person is still in its infancy, society isn’t clever or driven enough as a collective to handle it yet.
I dont believe in the slightest they will suffer any major risk by doing it either. i mean think about it. thousands upon thousands of people flocked to this game despite AGS having a short and BAD rep for making games.
I suppose they will wipe because they will change everything and want to relaunch the game in a proper way.
Or maybe they will open new servers and lets “old ones” die slowly.
I think a large part of it is content accessibility. There’s also the bugs and exploits obviously, but there seems to be a cascading effect. My server was fine for awhile, a bunch of people transferred off to go play on pluto. Now my server is dead. Our OPR queue stopped functioning at all, so even more people just stop trying/playing.
Dungeon content has the key barrier that many just weren’t willing to deal with on top of having to find groups oldschool in chat if you don’t have a guild full of people that want to run them.
If they want to bring people back and retain them, there needs to be content that’s quickly accessible and fun to play and reliably across all servers.
Some potential ways to accomplish that:
Cross-server OPR queues so people can play OPR at all hours regardless of their server situation. Then add more content in this style.
Remove dungeon keys entirely and if necessary gate drops by having the dungeon chests on a daily cooldown (that way you could go and help as many times as you wanted, but the chests would be daily).
Maybe change it so all other players can port to the dungeon if only one person is there. Or allow anyone to port to any dungeon as a fast-travel point for azoth?
Consider merging to much larger servers so they’re more resilient to people coming and going, but then to avoid login queues, implement a system where we can have multiple instances of the world per server. For unflagged, have multiple instances of the world and only one for flagged due to that being where territory control happens. IE: one server could have 1-5 PvE world instances and 1 PvP that would make room for 4-12k players on the server instead of 2k.
Swap daily lockouts like elite chests from fixed timers to resetting at a specific time of day so they’re less annoying to work around
Add an in-game group finding UI (not automated) that essentially is a bulletin board so it’s easier to search for and create groups for specific things without spamming chat. This would especially be useful if they merged servers into larger servers as chat spam would become untenable on larger servers.
The game needs a lot of other things as well like more build options and variety, but content accessibility is just a 100% requirement if you want to keep a larger playerbase around in an MMO.
I’m pessimist so if devs manage to pull it off I’m happily surprised. If not, I got what I expected when I bought it.
Giving players challenges is fine but if everything is a struggle it’s just tedious. Annoying inventory management, repair costs, taxes, endgame of grinding same stuff again and again in rng driven “progress” because content is not there, &cet. that is not a way to keep players interested.
Nope, need to be toxic or racist. Their rules say flat out that their sub is not for left wing people to debate them.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of your free speech rights. Their primary purpose is to prevent the government from limiting your speech not private citizens whose property you are on or website you are posting in.
Well Reddit is a petty place as a whole, maybe they got beef with R/politics because it is anything but politic, it’s simply agenda and feelings driven.
