An interview by MassivelyOP was just published this morning, and I have to say that it does not make New World look good.
They should have come up with more concrete answers to these questions! The one that really concerns me is their non-answer to the mid-game “wall” that pops up at around level 30. It’s hard to imagine us attracting any more players.
And it’s not like these questions came out of nowhere. The “wall at level 30” has been a concern since before NW even released!
Even their recent video was a bit lack-luster with the amount of “answers” they revealed.
They also seem to over-state seemingly small changes (as partial answers), and they make it hard to tell how close we are to the next few “big” changes. Things are overall just cryptic, which doesn’t really help with morale.
That being said, I am really looking forward to the February update (bug fixes), and I hope it leaves the game in a more stable place.
