I recently did a stream where my viewers requested their voice to be heard regarding quality of life improvements on New World. I figured, why not attempt to use my voice, my stream, and my reputation in the invasion world (lol) to hopefully get AGS to notice us little PVE-ers of New World.
The list we compiled is one I’ve heard on countless occasions. I did speak to a software developer while we were compiling this list, to ensure we are bringing problems to the table that have solutions. (I am of the mindset if you identify a problem, be sure to come with a solution, or at least have ideas for a resolution!) If I could be the voice of the people, and rely messages FROM AGS to the little guys… I think it would help immensely on keeping this game alive. There is still a small community in this world that is in love with this game and we want to see it thrive and grow, no matter what the rate it may be.
Quality of Life Improvement Recommendations:
Starting with Invasions. Invasions are a necessary evil for New World – however no one has seen an update to invasions in a VERY long time. People are losing interest in invasions, no matter how important they are to a servers health. We need to spark interest and excitement again in invasions.
• Offer better rewards, since the reward haven’t been updated in quite some time. The cache’s are extremely lackluster, no one has ever gotten anything worth using out of an invasion cache. It’s an insta-salvage (if even worth taking time to open). Providing umbral shards would help IMMENSELY, Gypsum Orbs as well. This would help at least bring people into invasions and give them an incentive to sign up.
• Allowing the individual that has been provided a crown to change siege! This is HUGE – it is extremely cumbersome on the territory that this is not allowed. Crowns are given to trusted individuals – allow them to make changes to siege please!
• The freezing in invasions is out of the world. People are hesitant to even join because the amount of freezing that happens during invasions. Also, being removed from the roster if you’re in a group prior to accepting the invite that goes out. That is a huge turn off to players and they are feeling that I as the invasion leader, is the one kicking them… and that’s just not the case. ![]()
• It would be incredible if AGS could make the spawns random so people stop utilizing this horrible spreadsheet that has been going around New World. Rely on skill - Not an excel document.
• WISHLIST – Creating different type of invasions! Lost, Ancient, Angry Earth, and Beast specific invasions. I’ve heard this request from HUNDREDS of players – they would love to see different variations of the game.
Open World QOL Improvments:
• Allowing Haste Elixers to be purchased outside of invasions (i.e. open world)
• Having presets for Gear/Attributes/Different Builds. People would be willing to try more builds if they had an easier way to switch! ![]()
Music
• Allowing Music to Buff PVP and PVE content (i.e. Invasion buffs, War Buffs/Fortify, Etc.)
Home
• Trophies – Increasing the amount of trophies one can put in a house (i.e T1 House – 5 trophies, T2 house – 7, ETC.) OR just allow us to put them all up at once… OR provide an easier way to switch out your trophies. It is extremely cumbersome transferring all over the map to put up 3 trophies. ![]()
• Own houses in however many territories we want. This was a HUGE request – if we want a house in every territory, allow it. It will also help the territory owners with tax dollars = more money to put back into the economy.
• Being able to plant a garden and utilize seeds you gather from around the world to plant your own fruits and veggies. This was also a unique request that I think would be absolutely appreciated!
Character
• Be able to dye transmog/purchased outfits!! – HUGE request.
• Any Weapon/Armor skin that is collected by the player can be salvaged/retained and can be used to transmog your own weapons. As stated in the invasion tab, invasion caches are HORRIBLE… but the skins are so beautiful. People want to be able to use the skin, without sacrificing damage. This was a huge request from the audience.
• Allow players to craft Legendary bags/tools with a 4th perk or premium perks.
• Increase the gold cap on players! At this late of the game – many of us are well over gold cap. Its either trust your company with the treasury log… or go out on your own and have a company of one to keep your money in.
At least allow us to hold 1mil gold or something. ![]()
• Server times should be displayed to the player based on their location
• Rework the entire “luck” system. Luck seems to work against you in this game. There has been multiple counts on where people have actually removed luck trophies, gear and food and found what they were looking for faster than they did when they had luck maxed out.
• AUTOBAN FEATURE needs updated IMMENSELY. There are players (i.e Chongal) that are banned on a nightly basis for playing Musket in OPR. He has to submit over 10 appeal requests to get a manual review of his account, which is always unbanned once you guys get the tickets and see he is not cheating. He has been banned 7 times since transferring to Yggdrasil (All have been removed after being appealed) but the same people mass report him nightly and he gets banned. There have been multiple threads posted regarding this issue, all of which get locked down with the reason “this is not an appeal forum” instead of listening to why the forums are being created to begin with. People are getting very discouraged stating “AGS doesn’t listen to us.” Also stating things like “Why do I have to limit my playstyle to accommodate others?” Please please help me AGS – I don’t want you guys to lose these incredible players due to the autoban feature being broken.
Storage
• Allow Bulk Salvage by quality (with a disclaimer ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SALVAGE ALLLLL THIS LEGENDARY GEAR so people cant cry if they accidentally salvage their legendary gear. Lol!)
• HUGE REQUEST - Perk filter for storage units!!! SO. MANY. REQUESTS for this one.
Mutations
• Remove the 25 a week limit on mutations. This limit is actually hindering the server. 625 PVE players are not willing to use their 25 limit they are allotted a week to help out smaller players in lower mutations – its hindering the growth of new players immensely and extremely discouraging. Coming from a 625 player myself – I understand where people are coming from. I do absolutely try to help as many littles as I can but I run out of my limit quickly. Huge flaw and shutting a lot of people down. The quote I got from this was “Limiting PVE content on already limited content – not a good look, AGS.”
Help. Please.
I hope this lands in the right hands – This list was made out of pure love for the game. Appreciate the chance to have our voice be heard!
