sure you can make do, but the barrier to entry and power gap is a fact.
pitting a team of 50 players versus 50 and all of them have that 3rd perk per piece of gear is a huge fucking deal and is felt

Yeah your right. New World’s territory system has the same problem as the champions league (most important football/soccer tournament on a club level in europe).
-
Only the best teams from each countrys league can participate
-
Payout is HUGE, even if a team only manages to qualify
-
this leads to the richer clubs getting richer, buying the best players, having the best roster, personnel, infrastructure, youth development
-
in almost every league with very few exceptions, always the same 2-3 teams are winning the championchip and/or qualify for champions league
-
always the same few teams qualify, always the same few teams win the champions league
-
the rich getting richer, small clubs have no chance at winning
Its a sad circle for a sport which originally was structured to be fair. Contrary to other countrys sports theoretically your unprofessional village town can make it to the champions league. Reality is different.

I used to believe that there wasn’t really much of a gear-gap as lot of people believed and that it was all up to skill until I fought someone who had a full-set of PVP perks with resilience. At this time I was wearing a full-heavy VB.
We duelled multiple times and I was completely defeated. I won a couple of times but most of the time it felt like I was dealing no damage against him, the most game changing weapon perk he had on his armor was the fortifying perofrate. I can’t trade blows with him with my GA and he outdamages me everytime. It was at that time I realized you really need weapon perks and VB can only carry you so far.
VB is a PvE Armor and you still could win. So that gap is there but its not THAT huge if we are being honest. Yes you have sweat way more than he does but well thats just how it is lol
id sort of disagree a bit.
in any professional sport. you team doesn’t get to have special gear privileges you all play with regulation gear. regulation balls and equipment. the only thing that is different between the teams is the skills of the individual players and the coach that directs it all. one team doesn’t get to go on the field with the latest state of the art shirts with +1 defense and +10 to sweat mitigation.
this is how it works in Esports as well everyone starts off equal in CS:GO what differs is the in round buys and economy.
in APEX: you all start out naked besides team comps that everyone can chose and isnt limited.
etc

This is so true, that’s why this game isn’t a good PVP game imo. It’s fun to kill people around but if we’re talking about skills in PVP there are other games that are better examples like LoL, HotS, Valorant, CS:GO, Starcraft etc.
thats why i still advocate for FAR more gear control that isnt directly tied to gold
i think the game would probably be WAY better on the competitive sense if gear can be farmed through proper effort and an actual challenge to fine tune that build you want to run. (not just running dungeons but hitting M13 with gold to get a mat to reroll crap or whatever) (or PVP track 200 + or some other nonsense i dunno)
in the end with a proper leader board you could have ENDLESS PVP where skill is the only factor. and NW is close to having a very meaningful combat. its not there yet its still just a CC spamapalooza but nothing much can be done about that right now.

I would love to have that eventually happen but honestly I’ve given up on NW ever being any better. I still play it since I enjoy it but I won’t hope for the better.
They clearly have their core priority of having players grind for as long as they can push players to (see game at launch) and although it’s getting better they still will stick to that core idea imo so hoping for a less gold reliance on gear crafting or better crafting in general won’t be something we’ll see in the future.
As of now I’m dropping hope that NW will be better, I’ve seen way too many games and communities have hopes that their game will flourish and become better only for it to fall short and eventually die.

basicly same here.
il still log in pvp have fun with the crew but overall im overit.
besides i got way more hobbies than this i still need to tend too now. (miniature war gaming is the true grind and money sink. even got my 3d printer firing again)
Yeah but that’s because its the only way to actually make money in the game in a reasonable time.
RMT will always be present in a game that allows you to trade, either by owning a city or farming stuff in order to sell for gold. That’s why bots exist.
I strongly disagree, why would they do that? to punish everyone that actually farmed along with those that used RMT? that sounds pretty unfair to me.
It would be way better if they actually made it so you can upgrade your existing gear to legendary and choose your perks if you gathered i don’t know maybe 100 perks and added that to you gear.
That would benefit newer players way more than what you suggested.
Yeah man, everyone knows that, the thing is: There’s actually ways to make it better without taking away all the rewards in owning a town.
You can just buff everything else to make more gold, such as OPR, Arenas etc… You can make it so you can actually farm for your gear instead or the RNG stuff we have now.
I gotta ask at this point which is more important to you? your game or the fact that there are people that are doing good gear wise? because honestly most people i know don’t care about other’s gear, only their own gear.
im at like 80% for one of my builds. and its good enough
so i really dont care about my gear atm
i want everyone else gear to have better access and control to the builds they want.
because im not shortsighted often
something about rising tides raising all ships and stuff.
with that id be able to mess around with other types of builds without paying and arm and a leg rolling for shit i will never statistically roll. (even 2 perkers)
Yeah that’s my point, make it so its easier to get gear and buff gold income for all activities and that would be enought to new players to catch up
increase activity gold
nerf town gold
its the same thing
gear price is determined by the commodities and other gear that people are willing to pay and land owners are whom determine those prices
id say reduce town gold in some way
that way prices wont inflate like nuts because increasing activity gold also increases the wealthies wealth even more
At the very least, give the gold automatically to all clan members. The higher rank you are the bigger the cut, but at least it isnt getting taken by the top 3-5 people and the rest are f’d
Depends on the “win” but yes they kind of do deserve it.
We’re talking about war, OPR, arena wins. You don’t ‘deserve’ a win just because you bought the game. Get that shit out of your head.
they deserve to be included in wars
No, they do not. You get picked based on how well you can perform in a war, get good.
and they deserve to access BiS items
Ah yeah just hand out the best items to everyone across the board. No effort required because you’re lazy. Dungeons already contain BIS items at times. Put the rest of the work in.
i never said they deserve to win a duel/arena/opr/war
No, you just want everyone on the same level whether you put 10 hours or 200 in. MMORPGs aren’t your thing. Consider another genre.
everything i said was about accessibility to gear and content
I guarantee you that even if you had the same exact gear you would get fucking rolled in wars. Farmed 15-20 times and kegged at war camp. BIS gear allows top end players to be competitive amongst eachother. You getting handed welfare BIS does not change your skill level.
So kindly take your selfish idiotic perspective and opinions and shove it up where the sun doesnt shine
Kindly get good and stop crying on the forums because no one wants to take your 535 GS STR/FOC paladin build to their highly competitive Everfall war.
Should push for gold to be spent on members. If they don’t wanna look after people then it’s time to find/make a new guild that will.
the problem is not the gold. The problem is the entire system that is bad and flawed.

initially three factions were created, the error started here.
People tend to prefer between two options, the third will always be left out.
What is money for in this game where you can do everything?
In most games you can be an expert in a certain profession, in the new world you can be everything, that is, a GOD.
I have tons of gold sitting on my character. I never used it for anything.
It’s the worst economy I’ve ever seen in games.
Everything is easy to get, the location is always the same.
And it always comes in exorbitant amounts, where for the amount of 1 comes 5, 13, 20.
The problem is not the gold!
Not even to buy items, as most are already lv 200 and can do everything.
Plus there are beginners… If they have an ounce of wisdom they would buy the faction items. Even in that the game fucks with the economy.
Gold is only good for crafting and that’s it.
This can’t be fixed without a restart. There are people sitting on massive amount of wealth with sheds full of cooldown mats and trophy components. Some of these are from exploits some from imbalanced territory income. They can buy their way to the majority of achievements and that invalidates efforts of honest players.
Current system would work only if there where regular wipes or wars would actually cost loosing side. There’s no reset for wealth and I can’t see how they would be able to balance the game again.
