I don’t think they would or could. It would remove too much from the game and they would have to redesign most of the game to the point where they would simply remove gear altogether and have all players with the same stats depending on weight class which would limit the individual choices for builds.
if you asked that because I said about ‘Remove gear and class differences from wars’ I was implying if you ignore those factors from wars then the rest of what I said was the outcome.
While I agree with your sentiment on wars I think they should stay as they are. I think the reason most people want to get into wars is because they are meaningful battles that decide which companies get to own land and make tax money and which companies will be homeless. Without this exclusivity and meaningful outcome it would be the same thing as OPR. This competitive drive for companies to win creates an environment where companies are trying to get better to beat other companies.
I also don’t buy the idea that players who want to get into wars can’t. On my server there are a bunch of mid to lower tier companies who will help get people into wars and help them get better if they do influence pushes.
I honestly don’t think OPR is more unbalanced than wars, it’s just OPR is usually played with random groups where you don’t have healers or optimal setups.
I do agree there should be other ranked or meaningful PVP in the game that can be access more quickly, such as ranked Arena, company vs company ranked OPR with meaningful rewards etc.
I also agree that influence pushing should be made faster or way more fun.
You shouldn’t be allowed to take part in a war when your factions isn’t concerned.
If a Yellow company attack a Purple one, you shouldn’t be allowed to slot green merc on either side.
That’s nonsense, this is a 1v1v1 faction game not a 1.5v1,5 when it arrange you
It’s not impossible to get into wars, it’s just more difficult than it should be. Like they are too exclusive. Full stop. Everyone who owns new world paid for the game. They should all have access to content but they don’t. I enjoy wars the are but you can’t deny they are too limiting. They should happen more and be easier to get into. Perhaps the random qued practice wars or what someone suggested with where you Que as a company to fight other companies.
Yeah that is a good point. If they made influence pushing way faster and added practice wars you can queue into would be a really good change in my opinion. I agree there should be more wars.
Woah @newb, thank you for the amazing and thorough feedback!
We appreciate the points you’ve made in your discussion and your solutions for some of your ideas. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this discussion and @briskelmechz - I appreciate the tag.
Discussions like these generate valuable feedback and I will definitely get this to the Development team to review! 
np. Make sure to try to really drive home that everyone who plays new world paid for the game and isn’t able to participate in one of the best aspects of the game.
Imagine being someone who hasn’t played new world and they see an commercial, 50v50 pops up on the screen and you see the 2 zergs clash together over the fort. WOW so cool they say, I want to check that out and get in on that. They buy the game, get to level 60 just to hit with a giant wall gate keeping them from playing. Even if they manage to start climbing the wall, if they don’t know guy at the top they won’t get allowed in.
You guys need to at least add some sort of practice wars or company v company mode where you can have large scale combat that players can just jump in and play.
I agree territory pushing is the worst part and needs to be made faster (with ~5-20 players) and more fun!
Also, I think more information/tools (weapons, stats, armor weight) need to be available for war sign ups to reduce the work load.
Yeah I agree, that’s why I’ve always only really played one build. I have other builds, not nothing on par with my main. It took me almost a full. Year to get bis for my main set. Have no interest in doing that again for another.
homerun!
I never said anywhere people can’t get into wars, but getting good war experience is hard to come by. They join those low tier companies, and they just get farmed for 30 minutes. Getting good war experience to the majority of players who all paid for the game is very difficult/impossible in the current set up.
You can troll all you want, or go rant in discord about it but there is no argument, there are 1200 total war spots per server and 2500 players. Everyone paid for the game.
Not to be rude or anything, but no. They don’t. They are part of the reason why social slots exists and why “top pvp players” is all about who brags more or I’m friendlt with, not who perform better.
Most of the actual players that love the game wont even try to get a slot thanks to all the drama and butt kissing envolves in getting slotted.
Kinda divided, I get where you come from but most of those leaders simply choose to be a douche. “Power” corrupt players, as we all saw the big ones getting bigger and greedier with tax systems and gold ravenue from cities. Plus the game cant handle over 100 players in the same activity good enough for most above avarege specs.
Not sure what you’re smoking???
Not sure you understand how wars and invasions go hand in hand, but you can’t have 12 wars in a day unless all factions band together for a timed push post invasion and even then it’d take them more than a week to make it so.
from your own screenshot on El-D or Ygg or whatever that server is right now, There are at best 4-6 wars in a day. Thats 400-600 people.
Not everyone forms a company, Not everyone joins a “low-tier” company.
Some people are just decent enough to get noticed and asked to merc then eventually invited to a company. If players can’t do that, they should learn on how to get better first.
You’re the biggest troll I’ve ever seen. Taking my words out of context and then making assumptions. Classic you.
I know wars and invasions go hand in hand? Clearly your brain is so small you can’t figure out the point I was making, 1200 potential slots out of 2500 people on the server, hence why I say it’s literally impossible to give everyone a chance to play. Most Companies only will take people with war experiences and vods and getting good experience and vods is hard to come by for players new to the game and or just not know. Both things are true at once. You’re just a troll.
Go make your own post no one will respond to Instead of trolling here.
I was more just pointing out how much time spent and everything goes into running a company. While your as well. Ya.
As a way forward I would propose we just get rid of companies owning territory at all with the game itself managing territory (town board, craft stations).
Make it purely faction based (can only queue for your own faction) with RNG selection that you can queue for solo or in squad.
Introduce seasons, have wars happen hourly or at least multiple times per day with a score counter for each territory. Rewards for participating in each war remain same.
Territories are successfully defended or flipped weekly based on score for each territory.
Weekly Reward Box with some gold, azoth vials and pvp armour/weapons for all those who actively participated.
The weekly gold reward is still linked to territory income after factoring in maintenance costs and follows current mindset of which territories are more valuable, but adjusted to suit new system (shared amongst many, rather than the few) and is sanity checked to promote positive gaming behaviour.
Season rewards for all faction members who actively participated with Gold, Silver, Bronze reward packs. Unique titles, cosmetics, emotes, housing items etc.
that just creates a separate problem of faction wars, companies will have no identity and nothing to compete for. There is no reward for being the best. People have no incentive to play in this model.
Because what he stated was absolutely correct. You’re the toxic one who wants to butt-in when I wasn’t even talking to you lol. There is error.exe and countless other companies on el-d/ygg who get people who are new and want to war, and OPR is usually played in non premades which makes one team hardlose. Calling it homerun, somehow triggered a troll (you).
huh? I dont even know what that means, but yea I will be here talking while you will be crying to public quoting someone who wasn’t even tlaking to you.
as time go’s on i am growing more of the opinion that wars should be something like Ranked 10v10 in wow, but in nw. An OPR type que for clan vs clan only.
This thread makes me miss Tera pvp. How action combat can be so good, and well done, in 1999, and yet end up like this is 2023 is mind boggling. Granted the graphics were dated and the cash shop skins could make your eyes bleed, but damn the combat so well done.
