most of the sub 60s iv seen are people leveling their second character on a separate server for various reasons.
of those sub 60s i wonder how many are actually new players.
Fell like they could make a new set, 600 just make sure it rolls with two perks as before. I’d take a fight in 600 res/ref gear and feel like I at least had a chance.
We’ve recruited quite a few recently that are new (if they are re-rolling then they are hiding it well).
People are regearing alts on other servers in a matter of days. It does not take hundreds of hours to be able to play pvp - it takes hundreds of hours to gear for pvp and know what youre doing.
This game will never be hype again and numbers will reflect that no matter what because the streamers have made their decision that the game is bad. These “new PvP players” dont exist.
Lol. Drop stupid expertise downscaling so ppl can go and buy cheao 590+ and jump into pvp modes. That would be simples solution. Other is add 590+ pvp gear to faction shop.

at the least equalize it for opr and arenas so that players can at the very least try out stuff and get better at the game WHILE spending thousands of hours building 1 set.
thats is the bare minimum thing to do.
You dont need new players. You have base of like 95%+ players of 15mln+ compies sold that quit the game. Now you have to figure out why they quit - change that - and then find a way to lure them back.
Since there will soon be nothing worthwhile to spend faction tokens on, maybe we could add an endgame tier of pvp armors to the faction shop that runs 590 and stays purple after 600, and just make it cost half of token cap per piece if you really need to timegate people.
They’ll go out and run faction missions (maybe even pvp ones) and actually have rewards for it, while getting toward a viable GS for doing pvp.
Most of them quit because a streamer told them it was bad 6 months ago, not because they gave up on their own after toiling over gearing choices for months. Youre giving these people way too much credit. They play what the streamers they like play so they can hang out in the chat and feel like theyre gaming with friends.
AGS dropped the ball and ruined the hype surrounding their game. Throwing red meat to people based on “do this or else!” posts is not changing that.
They should probably just dump resources into new content and double umbral/gs gains, then do a soft reboot with the new zone
I do not know one single person in our 100 man clan that quit because of streamers quit. They quit because the bugs and the ignorant grind to get gear.

@Soluss arguing with the moron @ComfortablyNumb is pointless. Just block him like everyone else did lol.
Nah i dont think its due to streamers. Its all around game: bad patched, no content. Expcet march patches there was no single patch that did not restore old bugs + add some new ones. Amount of content we get since release would be ok if dev team is max 10 ppl. But since its amazon and only game they made im expecting like x10+ amount of ppl working on game so i want like x5 amount of content we get and bugs as a exception not as a rule every patch.
The 4 people I started the game with, all of whom were mmorpg newbs, quit when people stopped playing it on twitch. They all basically said, “games dead, man. Stop playing it.”
They did have other reasons to quit. The leveling grind was too arduous for them (they all stopped around level 30), the walking around everywhere when the game first came out was painful for them, and, perhaps more importantly, they “weren’t sure if they were having any fun” playing the game. I think they felt compelled to play new world because there was a lot of hype for the game, but once that died down they decided “what’s the point?” and stopped playing.
They realistically are never going to come back, and they aren’t unique. Most people who bought the game never got to level 60.
You said they were mmo noobs… No one in my guild was mmo noobs and none of them quit because streamers that they didnt even know quit the game.
That’s fine.
I’m just saying a lot of people, like tens of thousands, quit because streamers stopped playing new world.
The streamer stops playing when the game stops being profitable, or simply when they stop getting paid to bring people, not because they like the game or not. Whoever pays attention to the streamer on duty in all the stupid things he says, better go see a psychiatrist.
How many shitty games have seen them “promote” saying that it is the revelation game (V Rising), and after 1 month they were never seen there again.

Crawfishing now huh after being called out?
Insults just show you have no logical point to make.
You really think they are turning a monthly profit right now? lol
That’s not ENTIRELY true. I’d like to think I make both logical points and really good digs from time to time!
Well, you are guilty of both, yes. LOL However, at the moment, you are not the topic of conversation.
