The PvP in New World is the best out of all the other MMOs. Is more engaging and it takes a lot more skill to compete in the top, when they introduce Leaderboards, you will see a huge uptick in PvP engagement and ability.
Like I always say, practice and research the game, then practice some more. If you are not wiling to learn and go through the gauntlet like all of us enjoying the game, then don’t bother complaining or commenting on the state of PvP in the game.
There is NO PvP in New World.
That’s why players are leaving.
Won’t bother about the rest, it’s too much copium.
I mean it use to be in a way better state… the only problem was the lack of content. But now the mechanics in the game are so bad after this patch. Combat is unplayable and to top it off we know they ain’t fixing anything and have no plans of PvP content. You can tell they gave up on their game. The roadmap looks pathetic. They don’t listen to the community and if they do they clearly listen to the wrong people. They only listen to pve people and when I bring up a skill nerf pve ppl get on my case saying that will kill the skill for pve. But idk I think Amazon chose they want it to be a pve game despite it suppose to be a PvP game near luanch. Oh and I don’t see why ppl are addicted to the pve in this game lmfao. The game potential was pvp
100% agree. The pvp is what made nw special and seperated it from the competition.
It’s a tragedy that AGS chose to completely abandon pvp. Since launch we only had 1 content update for pvp. Wars are still inaccessible to the majority of the playerbase. Open world is barren. All we have is OpR and arena which also never got content updates.
Now it’s just a shallow PvE game. The PvE is not challenging and can be facerolled by even the most casual gamers in any gear.
They killed everything that was good about NW and keep pumping out awful content like expeditions that literally nobody cares about instead on focusing on giving us more quality pvp content or revamping wars and open world to make it accessible and rewarding.
It’s a damn shame. But hope is lost for sure. New worlds best days are far behind it. It’s just gonna get worse and worse from here
Exactly I loved the combat it was amazing. But 100 percent this is a shallow pve game… idk why people hardcore pve game like there are way better pve mmos… they should of just stick to there guns and just made it a PvP mmo
It’s pretty nice to see. They can focus on what the popular MMOs have that makes them actually popular. PvE.
Pve somehow always wins. Just crazy why they just don’t strictly make Pvp mmos. And this ain’t even a good pve game lmao so there’s no point into pumping more into it
Yeah but new world pve will never be able to compete with other mmos because the games design.
Crafters can make BiS gear so Pve content will never have any prestige attatched to it. You can literally buy anything you could ever desire straight from the marketplace which is absurd to say the least in a PvE sense. Which is why nobody takes new world pve seriously.
On top of that the PvE content in this game is so incredibly easy. No real PvE player will ever be contempt with this low level of content.
Lmao I remember when pve was actually relevant for PvP players trying to get dungeon weapons like laz bow. Now like you said with crafting making bis gears. Pve is utterly useless for a PvP player. Maybe pop in to get a heart stone but other. Then that there is zero need for it. If I wanted to play pve I’d go play Skyrim or something cause new pve is a joke. Game is laughable… if you stuck to a strictly PvP game people would have cared about the copy and paste mobs and areas lmao. There is also zero to prove in new world cause of no leader boards… so what is the hype of running m10s lmao
This whole forum post just sounds like a skill issue and cope for being awful
Two questions about the game -
Action combat, tab target, hybrid?
PTW or PTW elements?
It’s unclear yet.
I am very sceptical when it comes to P2W and Korean games. I wouldn’t mind GW2’s model.
I saw target markers in various videos, not sure what to make out of it.
I guess everyone in this game has skill issues if people are leaving the game.
It takes skill to spam left click, abuse musket bug and ranger overall making Out post rush feel awful?
Or how about premades making stuff like Arena and Opr onesided borefests? Clearly it’s a git gud issue.
It’s why one of the most prevalent poster that has a lot of support in this forum gets banned for speaking the truth.
Are you sure we are smoking copium, and not the other way around?
Unlike the 100m left click to death ranged dex with staggers and 50% slows? Which is smooth brain again? The one that dances in the fire and tries not to get burned or the ranged dex user asleep in a lazyboy abusing hit scan and broad side of barn 100m+ hit boxes.
Oh word back from my 1 day ban lol so soft… couldn’t handle my joke. Must be a skill issue
AGS uses their internal slang of “We want this game to feature melee centric combat” in their developer videos.
What it really means is let’s zerg each point, sit in green circles and bash each other’s heads in death ball style, unga bunga.
What if the clown skins was an Amazon Games Studio insider (monetization team) subtly warning us about the clown show going on behind the scenes? Trying to communicate to our subconscious mind…
one of the best examples of it
It hurts the soul how true that is. Everything you wrote is 100% spot on actually.
Tons of people on this forum call us haters or dramaqueens but the reality we are actually just passionate about the game. New world was a real gem in the gaming world. One of the very few PvP centered mmos who could have ACTUALLY pulled off a pvp mmo with success! It could have been a legendary game that would have been popular within its niche for a decade or more. Easily!
But time after time after time the PvP community gets shafted by AGS. I remember back in november an official dev statement PROMISED US that different colors for friendly and enemy spells (like sacred and iceshower) was being worked on. Over a year later and we havent heard a single word about it yet. An empty bullshit promise.
They say they want to make PvP balanced and make the rewards for PvP equal to PvE. Bullshit promise.
PvP has had ONE SINGLE content update since release! And it was the most barebones shit ever. A single arena map with only one team composition option. What was being widely requested back then was 1v1 arena and 2v2 arenas for the most part. 3v3 is nice, but not as the only option… and no ranked? And only 1 map?
AGS might as well give us the finger at this point. Its disgusting how hard they have failed. A game which could have been so damn great, with so much potential catering to a niche community of the gaming world. The mmo pvp-centric crowd. Maybe not the biggest crowd in the world, but certainly bigger than the 20-30k players NW currently has. And mmo pvp’ers are definitely a loyal community because we dont got many places to go… But none of us are gonna stick around with NW, because AGS keeps shitting the bed when it comes to PvP.
Its a disgrace.
The negativity from one post.
Do you have a clue why they do? Dont you see why AGS ignores you?
but we have you, klas and others to blow sunshine and rainbows on every post.
so everything is in balance as it ought to be.
now if game could be as balanced as forum is would be great.
lastly Penfold remember what the forums were like at start of fresh start and brimstone release, why do you think all that positivity disappeared?
maybe the devs should want to know why their retainership declines w such rapid pacing?
I know I know there’s like 2 or 3 legacy servers that are going strong so all is right in the world, how many players lost and servers merged and transfer tokens consume to maintain it though?
imagine changing directions on a video game to prevent it being a niche title only to make it a less but still niche title then concern trolling others who point out game isn’t retaining players like it should for a variety of clear and concise reasons.
bury that head deeper penny as long your server is doing fine nothing to see move along right?
