PTR is waiste of time.
It only proves amazon is bad in develoing stuff and have no idea how process should look like. Quality of what they do is 1year student on any IT. This ppl are waisting our time. Dont bother checking PTR.

It is disappointing but itâs not that uncommon for PTRs to change little to nothing for the released content.
Itâs not really an AGS-only thing.
And you are saying this as who? How many games have you developed or participated in that process so far? PTR is absolutely normal part of development 
Canât wait to play your MMORPG.

It doesnât matter how many times the devs try to emphasize that theyâre listening when their actions speak for themselves. Testing on the PTR is a waste of time when none of the feedback actually gets taken seriously. At least this time theyâre honest enough to tell us straight up that this build is final and we have absolutely no impact on the release version of this PTR update whatsoever.
I personally feel the exact same way, my confidence in the development team at AGS is dwindling fast and I donât trust this team anymore to ever get New World in a good state permanently. Taking Player feedback seriously and adjusting the direction of the game based on that is a key component for a successful relationship between the development team and the community and theyâre missing the mark time and time again.
I love the game but canât help it but feel extremely frustrated about the mismanagement, the lacking passion and the dishonesty shown by AGS. They have a great foundation for a great MMO, but I strongly feel like theyâre just not up to the task.

i mean how can anybody surprised by AGS.
We all know the History of this Game studio or not ? they never developed a rly long term successful game by themself.
I play nw like this i know that studio is not very good, so i try to have the most fun possiple befor the game for real died or get shut down.
I agree, this gameâs leadership is poor and each day shows just how bad. I can only stomach logging on for about 10 minutes a day right now to make asmo, runic etc⌠I played a lot and now canât do anything I enjoy⌠or find it just utterly pointlessâŚ

Uh, question, because obviously Iâm going senile and start feeling like a fking boomer.
Where on earth are you guys finding the Devs info?
Devlog and PTR forums have nothing of interest. Whereâs the latest dev video posted? Either I fked up the forums with settings, or Iâm really getting dumber by the minute
Here you go:
Full PTR notes most likely out later today.
Thanks mate. Still I have no idea where this was posted for the community to see.
I mean, I see the link, never seen that page before I think.
God Iâm old.

Gameâs main page News | New World - Open World MMO PC Game
Also Twitter and YT.
Personally I use Discord bot that tracks news and dev posts.

There is a visibility process piece that is missing here. As a product owner myself. They should list the most found bugs (meaning the devs/community) as a post - and then give a timeline of what is complex to fix and why.
Thatâs the first part of helping people understand that an âeasy fixâ is not an easy fix. The visibility will help to ensure that the players that are testing on PTR are providing value. Yes, I would not expect everything or a majority to go into a build; they are all prioritized depending on the RISK/reward of the feature.
This type of post: âHere is the priority of bugs we are looking at on the PTR Now,â - is a lot of work to compile, but it goes a long way towards doing it before - INSTEAD of after.

Damn I said almost the exact same thing rofl.
I said that long before I even seen your video. Feels good someone feels the same.
why did i log in to ptr? Okay i guess i could get gear set up. I did that and as a healer i dont even have a piece with fortified sacred ground perk. i guess other people can testâŚwhen there is something to test.
Final nail in the coffin with the patch notes release. This re affirms 5 headâs theory

BUG FIXES SHOULD NOT BE IN PTR RELEASES.
They should fix them in weekly maintenance. This current trend just encourages us to make exploits as public as possible to force them to fix them.

Assumingly if dev done their due diligence, live servers should not have game breaking bugs in an ideal world or good developers like blizzard (in the past), respawn gaming (see apex legends).
With new content and balancing in ptr builds, bugs are to be expected and with feedback, it should be fixed or delayed before it integrates into live servers.
But in nw, ptr bugs are ignored and added into live severs and if exploitors want, they have a library of info in ptr forums to exploit when patches goes live.
Now tell me, which one of the above scenarios serves as ptr? Not to mention, fixed bugs returns in seasonal events (I assume this arose from merging old codes).
There wouldnât be a common conception that feedback on the PTR was useless if there want a history of all feedback and bug reports on the PTR being ignored.
Itâs basically used to generate hype.
Iâm just waiting for the day I can give my character a haircut and reset territory standing points in the PTR
