War System Ended the New World

Every time wars are mentioned you just go off on one making out people are cheating. Why is that? lol

War are maded to be a highly competitive mode. It’s not a problem, what you’re looking for is a Mode to random ppl play wars like Outpost.

The gear gap that low geared players face in New World atm. Is about the same gap in power a 600 GS player faces in BDO fighting a 700+ GS player. It’s obvious not small, or people wouldn’t be spending millions per a piece of this gear. The gear gap in New World currently, is the driving factor for PvP success. And the worst part is, at least 90% of the gear progression is PvE exlusive.

Far as the me being mechanically skilled. That’s easy to prove, since I have screenshot on these forums. Showing my massive PvP successes, before the shitters convinced the Devs. In the November patch to change New World from being skill based, to overwhelmingly gear base.

So what happened? Did I just get significantly less skilled as a player overnight? Or did the Devs increased the importance of gear in the game. To the point I was fighting nuclear armed players with only a wooden bow and arrow? With a thousands of hours of PvE grinding just to become a factor again.

Funny because that patch, did the exact opposite, of convincing PvPers to flock to New World. It was one of the two patches that each caused a mass exodus from the game.

I tried playing in wars. I wouldn’t say it’s fun. It’s a zerg fest and it’s not that enjoyable. I quit because my PC could not take it so that may be the reason why I no longer join wars.

Concuerdo con eso, antes new world era mucho mas entretenido cuando el combate era por habilidades del jugador y no tanto por equipo. Alguien bajo 590 GS no tiene nada que hacer, por mucha habilidad que tenga, contra alguien con 625 GS.

Y mientras eso no lo arreglen, se seguirán escapando jugadores. Porque actualmente, si no eres GS600+, no estas “apto” para ninguna de las instancias PVP que hay actualmente. Ni siquiera las arenas te emparejan por GS, que al final de cuenta, termina siendo mucho mas determinante que el propio nivel.

@lubiano83 , Yeah that has been and still is the trend in all PvP scenes. That opt for this type of design. Because with in quick succession in under a 12 month time. All that are left playing are the supremely geared players. And since gear in these types of games completely override mechanical skill. Very few outside this pool of players stay playing for more than a few weeks.

But hey many of us explained this to AGS. But AGS is just committed to catering to the skillets and cheaters. So meh, it is what it is!

Cant help but to laugh every time I check on this dumpster fire, Saturday night 15k players total…I mean I just dont know how thats possible in 6 months from a million without honestly trying to fk it up.

Its funny because that version of the lifestaff could have been made to support a trinity model just fine. It had lots of support type things and just needed maybe a few tweaks. It didnt need a complete gut and redo. There was so much you could do with a lifestaff back then. Now its like one build only and boring.

Well New World is a buy to play game, with no monthly subs. So, it’s not hard for me to believe. They are not motivated to making NW interesting anymore. Loads of MMO vets understood this. And made their decision based off of this fact.

We’re counting down!

4 months, 22 days to go. Let’s see how you do.

Every server shutdown prediction made to date has been wrong. They never learn.

making the endgame PvP around Guilds instead of Factions was a huge mistake on the developers. The game is designed around Guild Vs Guild, which allow certain people in power to limit what the masses of players can play or not.

Are you aware that anyone can push influence and declare war? how is it limited?

If only 10% participate in territory wars that means, 90% is free to go there. If from 10% they are able to create guilds of 50 players for sure you can find from those 90% atleast 50 players who wants to go fight. Ohh you can’t? So maybe those 90% doesn’t want it? I do not see any problem at all.

Wanna play with the best, show them you are one of best and they will invite you. So simple to go duel someone, so simple to ask one of the officer from top guild to invite you to his group and go opr or windswards training center… Definiety its a crying topic no arguments here.

War System biggest mistake is different hours.

Set all WARS on the same hour and many fake/alt companies will disappear. Let active companies to have territory! Either if they are good or weak, let them have the territory until a better company come to contest it.

PVP of this game sucks.
War system sucks.
Scheduled wars WTF
I don’t like the castles.
I don’t like the mechanics.
I don’t like how it is implemented.
They lack raid frames.
I don’t like how it is at all.

WvW maps in GW2 were muuuuuuuch better than New World wars.

DELETE THE CASTLES / WARS. DO IT ASAP.
CREATE A NEW PVP MAP SHARED FOR ALL SERVERS.

I wont say the game wont shutdown.

Most predictions assume a straight line progression into the future without the possibility tgat something will change that.

NMS went from 5K players to 20K players.
