The Negative Impact of Leaderboards in New World Before Addressing Major Issues

That’s because the skins are worthless.

Cause some people aren’t happy unless they are complaining about something.

This leaderboards are not competitive and have nothing to do with competition at all.
Everyone was asking for a ranked mmr system but not leaderboards that say nothing and can be easily exploited.

Or maybe, just maybe because their proposed implementation rewards and incentivizes bad player behavior and exploiting instead of measuring skillful play.

Even if they were perfect, they’d still find something to complain about. It’s a mindset

bro said “don’t add new content i don’t trust you to do it” :skull:

Can yall be patient? It will only take half a year for them to start thinking about changes, and only another year for changes to be implemented into PTR

This is what makes me never want to come back to the forums. If you based your opinion on new world by the forums it seems like a shame not worth trying but it’s a great game.

People complained and complained wanting leader boards and now they are here and they complain about it.

I think it’s for the better they ship leaderboards as is. No one wants them, and they’re garbage.

The sooner they’re released, the sooner that team can work on implementing actual content.

No. If it were a great game, the population wouldn’t average a drop of over 1% per day.

No one has asked for leaderboards, just like no one asked for reactive potions, nor many of the other pointless things they’ve added.

It’s dying because players are locked on low pop extra servers and a lack of new content. People WILL return each time they throw content out

bugs, desync, lag, exploits, terrible pvp balance, OPR team balance. horrible territory control system. very low PVE cap. no story. and more also plays a huge factor.

No, it isn’t lacking content - at least not in first place. First and foremost the core has to be fixed before another content is added upon the already broken stuff. And the core is the combat system and its balance. That should have been done long ago and was half heartedly started and then layed aside to implement things like instruments or overhowling the start experience. Things that are surely fancy to code but didn’t adress any fundamental problems this game has. If they can’t get this stuff fixed then they should probably tell us and anounce the game to be PVE only. This way the PVP oriented players at least know what’s at stake and can finally look for alternatives - if they have not already done so - instead of still hoping AGS to get things straight.

Literally laughed out loud.

That poster is the epitome of homer in the simpsons when he designs a car.

But he got listened to right? The current whiners, not so much.

Good points. I would also mention the awful service called

“new world customer support”.

Leaderboards should be a low priority when there are still cases of mass reporting in the game, and when every instance of a ban is copy and paste response declaring someone “guilty until proven innocent”

Honestly, I can’t even argue with you there. Touche.
