Nw will always be known as a pvp centric game. That is the public image and honestly that is very much what the game still is.
The endgame is war. Expeditions are just a low tier activity in the endgame. So is chestruns. So yeah it deffinitely attracts the PvP crowd and also non-mmo players because it is action combat and for those that like third person medieval action combat games (Of which there are very few in existence) New world is certaintly one of the best options on the market, currently.
You know what, that’s fair. This not being Reddit, that is. So I’ll elaborate.
People who call women “females” online (while also referring to men/boys, and not “males” in the same breath) have probably never had a meaningful interaction with a woman IRL.
My use of the word females was very deliberate. And being as I am a woman, I understand very clearly when others are being toxic, petty, competitive, and nasty for no reason.
I understand all of that completely. And like I said, I’m in agreement on general levels of immaturity and toxicity… I’ve been a part of many gaming communities, and this one is, uh, special. But people of both genders fit that description here, so call them out for being sh**heads and not their gender, because one of those things is not relevant here.
My two cents.
There are good people here as well, as there are on any game. You just may have to dig a little sometimes to find them, because the toxic ones are pretty loud.
THIS. I am afraid so too. When AGS borked the game it also alienated many renowned “multigame” communities that have solid reps in the gaming world. The only one I see present is OTG. But its a shame many more didn’t stay in New WOrld.
There is definitely a problem with some companies and Toxicity. On that end I feel pretty lucky I seem to fall in with some of the chiller groups. And even when I was in a sweat company they were pretty chill. Just a matter of finding those people alot of the chiller ones keep to themselves.
exactly . most players are 30 years old average,
very little drama , eazy to make friends in ww front , no need for guild if you dont do wars.
its a f chill place.
if it was any more chill it would be f boring.
maybe bit more toxic in wars but thats normal.
The companies I have been in have been amazing and the people have been great. I even still play other games with those from past companies. Having said that, I can see what you mean though. NW is pretty toxic in general. I hate to say it also but most of it comes from the pvp players. Like someone above said, a good chunk of the people who never played mmos that are playing NW as their first have come from fps games and fps games have the most toxic players.
PvP players looking to dominate others to make themselves feel better
Frustrated players who are fed up of playing with lower skill players.
I, myself, have resorted to flaming some teams in opr who are useless. And I really shouldn’t, in real life I wouldn’t.
To fix my flaming, warning messages from teammates reporting me would curb my behaviour. But most people don’t report flames they just ignore them or react to them.
Ideally I’d like cross server ranked opr so I can play with people as competitive as I am.
