Iāve lost all hope in this gameā¦think Iāll be joining the 800k people that gave up on it. The devs have no idea what theyāre doing or what people actually wantā¦which is mind-blowing because the forums are full of feedback from the few still playing. I honestly donāt think they could save the game if they wanted to at this point.
Iāll probably check it out again when they open the new sections of the map.

To be fair, the forums only make up a very small % of players. Going by the chart numbers, the game should still have over 100k players every day logging in, easily. Sure bots make part of that, but still, thatās not āfewā. However, come February, no doubt the numbers will take a huge hit again, aside from the slowed bleeding thatās still happening anyway.
But Iād not see it without hope. The devs have a lot of catching up on QoL features ahead, content, bugs fixes, balancing and getting on top of bots, but if they manage that, in a few months many players will be ready to give New World another chance, if the game has managed to beef out more. Just depends on how committed Amazon will stay to their baby. Thatās the biggest question mark, but only time will tell.

This game is setup to deter returning players. By the time you come back in March there will probably be 3 more grinds(ācontentā) that will take you a month+ just to get back to competitive level.

Iām going to give mutations a try but Iām honestly baffled by the lack of acknowledgement on how broken void gauntlet is from a balance and stability perspective. It literally breaks wars by creating various movement bugs in addition to being generally overtuned. The fact that this is nowhere on the devsā radar is worrying for the future of the game.

On Steam right now, global achievements show that of the 900k+ people that own this game, 12.8% have completed Dynasty, 5% have completed Genesis, 3.7% have completed Laz. So yeah, this new stuff is not needed right now as the vast majority of players have no use for it or at even at the level to take part in it. Priorities all wrong.

Where did you take take this number 900k?
Much more owns the game.
You have that in other games too though. Lotro as a returning freep, youād have to catch up in level, if the cap was raised, then try to still find raid groups, if the content has already aged a bit.
As a creep you have a long road ahead regardless anyway, to get to the higher ranks.
PWI you are screwed no matter what, unless you are willing to re-mortgage your house.
ESO takes some effort as well. GW2 is rather friendly in basically everything, but still, some effort for new players for sure. Returning players not as much, granted for GW2.
I just think they need to cast the net wider for progression in New World. We lack a pvp progression that would allow players to skip pve grinds. Be weaker while progressing, yes, but be allowed TO progress via pvp activities.
The Feb patch will be focusing on balance, bots and bugs.

Mutations are something to keep us amused at least through February while they do a full bug month.
February, and how the game looks, feels and the QoL/Bugs/UI adjustments and bot problem is going to say a lot about the future of the game.
so no update today? an other hype killer move

I also hope the Feb patches address Amber gem scaling, itās cool, I can play other game until devās have time to fix the scaling.

What is it that you think is wrong with Amber gem scaling?
Does not pay to rehash everything, the post is here:
Amber Gem Scaling is the Same/constant for 20%, 30% and 40% gems - Bug Reports / Bug Reports - New World Forums
Confirmed by devās as a known issue that has yet been addressed. Everyone is running around with 20% flawed ambers vs higher tiers because the damage scaling does not work.
Own-Cantahar shows the pointed issue with this patch, why now and not stuff for the other 90% of players?
Also, clearly turning into a PvE only game with like 5% of the player base doing wars. Open world PvP is so very lacking. OPR cannot retain PvPers for long.
PvE game is what a PvE game patches! To me this genre seems to have 1 foot in the grave, when it comes to PvP/PvPers. Part of it is āusā, all the cheating and whining, etc. ā¦ but gaming companies simply canāt get the basics right. And it really doesnāt take all that much.
@shadow_Fox hello admin, You mean vg nerf will be on february? Because we are really sick of it anymore, people abuse IG exploit which you can get %10 dmg boost for per person you hit in ice storm then change to VG , keep his buff and deal 12k dmg in 2 sec to a off tank g.a/hammer user.Please fix and nerf that shiee
