Until you realize that the game is fundamentally broken, it looks really good. When you scratch the surface a bit… better don’t do it.

I agree. Honestly, it’s easy to hype the “exploits”, but each patch has crushed a number of them. The development team is actually working to make it better. It does seem rushed, but improvement is improvement in my book so I will absolutely not downplay that work.
The gaming industry is pretty critical between developers and gamers, with a little bit of understanding it can be pretty easy to see the positive light. I’m not saying that everyone should stop reporting bugs, not at all. Being toxic about it and unhelpful on subjects you clearly don’t know anything about is absurd. It’s a great way to make a team lose their passion when all their audience does is trash your work, and never gives you a chance to make up for it despite the obvious work that has been put in.
This last patch update is a great example of them actually caring.

yes it is good, just some people does not understands how MMO works at launch, the number of bugs and exploits are phenomenal lol but are decreasing as patches are done
then, there are also the traditional people that wants all MMO to be the same, mounts, costumes, massive skill selection, massive raids, auto targetting skills, sidesteps to avoid mechanics, they don’t want to experience something new they just want the usual

Yup.
Weekly patch, comunicative and responsive. We have luck with this game and developers honestly.
Remember the worst karma post Reddit of all times? Few years ago, it was EA lol.

Please tell us from other AAA companies (not indie) that take care of the game and customers like this. I will be interested on their games.
Another example is CA, Creative Assembly from Total War Franchise (SEGA is the distributor). They are aven on Discord, and Total War Warhammer III looks fantastic.

i thought that was an ironic thread but no. what do u smoke ? there are lots of players telling “they told devs about the issues/exploits/bugs at alpha” and they didnt solved these things and we are experiencing these all kind of errors 2 years after these alpha players reported. So basically that means devs just ignored alpha players which meant to be play the game and report the issues. so they didnt even care their alpha player’s opinions it seems like. and released the game with these errors from 2 years ago.
And u are telling us “devs are fantastic” ? I bet u are smoking some kind of strong thing.

Can you tell us an example of good and comunicative devs please? AAA companies, not indies.
Certainly!
Here you go: No maintenance, no patch, no communication - #275 by Razzaqi1066
This is an example of post on a “general” category. A member of the NW team responding, accepting the issue, and willfully saying we will do better.
Have you had this before? I personally have not. It’s a breathe of fresh air.
Not only that, there were a lot of complaints about the tool tip for discounts on first house with weekly tax. In my original post, I even noted how they owned this and offer a peace offering of 2k coins for that confusion.
Do you guys really not understanding the lengths they are going to, in order to try and make this a great game?
I figured this post would be controversial due to all the negative gamers out there…
A little sad really.
This is like paying the price for a Ford F150, but actually getting a fancy Porsche that may not be for everyone… and then brats expecting it should be an ultra rare McLaren F1 worth millions for the price of a standard truck.
Again, great work Devs. Keep it up.

What lengths are you talking about? You make it sound like they achieved some Olympic milestone. It’s their job, just like the people that work at Blizzard.
Ye right, the amount of times a Blizzard game master contacted me ingame and fixed the issue immediately. I still have to see that in New World…oh wait everything is automated right?
I have a ticket open with Blizzard right now that has been open for over 8 months without resolution. With very little communication, for a resulting error during a realm transfer and the character being inaccessible.
I think you underestimate what it takes to develop a polished bug free game.
People also think, “Oh it’s Amazon!” They must have unlimited Money to do everything! That is not even remotely how it works. They have a division like any other company, with budgets, time frames, goals, metrics, etc.
Anyway, not going to continue arguing with you. I think the SOME of the gaming community can be particular rotten and lack appreciation. Maybe that’s just people. :}

I think something else that should be kept in mind, their structure, organization, and management may not being something that we are all familiar with. Just because it’s different does not mean that it is bad.
“Gamers” typically have no idea what they are talking about, and I wouldn’t be surprised if actual valid issues got ignored because a gamer was unable to properly convey the issue in a way that made sense. A great example of this is the recent “invulnerable” “game state” bug. How i’ve seen a majority of gamers explain this is entirely inaccurate, and flat-out false. There’s even videos that attempt to spread this misinformation. They know nothing about game development. I will not explain it here, either. Go pick up a book or go to school; I have no interest in helping skiddies find more exploits.

excellent point.
Hey, I feel bad for you. 8 Months is not acceptable, but thats YOUR situation, YOUR experience. Mistakes are made everywhere. Making an appreciation thread is fine and I am pretty sure the mods and devs like to see some positivity from time to time.
You knew this was going to be a controversial topic to talk about. Then why do you continue to defend it? You said what you wanted to say, just like the rest of us, now lets leave it at that.

I agree with that.
Good luck out there, and enjoy your time!
I also think the game and the devs is great.
Yes, I am totally aware of the exploits and as I am a programmer having done distributed systems and more I am also aware of why. I additionally agree, that this part should have been done better. But current state is as it is and the past can’t be changed.
I am seeing continuous work on multiple aspects of the game, thus I appreciate the work being done. This is what matters to me.
What also matters to me are small little details like a little relationship between a guy and an alligator both called Nekumanesh (you probably didn’t realise that up to now).
But lets go back to the exploits that were reported in the alpha and still persisting: I don’t know how that happened or why that wasn’t changed earlier, still I assume it is now very present and action to change it is taken accordingly (we will see).
So that is my point of view, still I understand people being disappointed or even furious of the stuff happening.

It is true that there are al sorts of issues around that were flagged in the test phases, though I have to admit I have seen this in every MMO I have played. I am not excusing the devs here, more just raising what I find is an interesting question - Why???
I understand that MMOs are huge beasts and it is impossible to quash all bugs, but why is it every one of them seems to fail at fixing significant bugs raised during testing. I can understand putting bugs like ‘ladle disappearing when interacting with a cauldron’ on the low priority list, but all the games end up with exploit/big bugs raised at early test stages creeping into the release.
As for this thread of positive vibes, it may be a bit over the top, but I don’t think the devs are nearly as bad as the common posts suggest, so maybe a bit of appreciation is good. They bit off more than they can chew for sure, and I am sure the unwieldy monster that is Amazon actually makes it harder to do the job rather than easier

As a 65±year-old player who has been gaming since the beginning of games, I just wanted to share my thoughts on New World. I did not want to participate in the beta. I decided to wait until the game was officially released. And the wait was worth it. This game is not perfect, but it appears the developers are in touch with their player base and are actually listening and addressing issues in a timely matter. I realize you can’t please all of the people all of the time, but in its current state, New World pleases me very much. And hopefully, as the game evolves, it will only get better.
