This part makes me laugh because @Jiggyspice is 100% correct and yet, on multiple other forum threads where this comes up, people immediately spaz and scream that it’s 100% incorrect and the economy is fine.
Another reason for a fresh start server. A place that has no duped coin in circulation (at least until it inevitably happens down the road) but… that’s “down the road”.
drop the abbreviations and I’ll respond to you. this whole ASDDGAEHYW$GCD#$@# doesn’t work because it leaves an unnecessary amount of room for miscommunication.
Good good, the fire grows for the break the nerf stick crowd.
Its crazy to me how people are objectively shit at a game and they dont ask for help to get better.
Hence my comment about today’s society needing things adjusted to accommodate them.
Time to trim the talons off these nerf harpies and introduce them to reality, either take the time to get good the game or stay quiet, cannonfodder and be happy.
It literally only has 3 abbreviations: AGS which stands for Amazon game studios, IG which stands for ice Gauntlet and CDR which stands for cooldown reduction. All of these abbreviations are very popular in the forums so I don’t see how this helps miscommunication…
Edit: 4 if you count con, which stands for constitution…
thank you for clarifying and I had to laugh at myself because I used NPC instead of non playable characters. so I’ll admit my hypocrisy. it does get a bit frustrating when you read and then have to spend another 5 minutes sifting through googles advertisements and then finally figure out what was meant when they said #$AERRFD.
and you are totally right. I’m more addressing the multitudes of please nerf posts in the game. and as zenith eluded with the subtly of a runaway freight train, “most mmos go through a buff/nerf cycle” and thanks for that zenith, I do mean that.
this post was more addressing the multitudes of posts saying oh please nerf the rapier, please nerf the life staff, please nerf the bow, please nerf the muskets, please nerf, please nerf, please nerf, and I’m thinking. when will you guys be happy? would it be when we are all just sitting down and watching sesame street?
The non-MMO nature of PvP in this game leads to a lot of confusion. Normally its a lot more straightforward, like:
CC is a problem → X class is best at CC → Nerf X class
But when every classes does damage and avoids damage, its basically whoever has killed you the most that day.
From my point of view, there will never be a game that is 100% balanced. There’s always adjustments that will have to be made, even if it’s just to “shake the meta”, like adding void gauntlet for the game, the weapon is so strong that you need them in your war roster, no matter how much damage they do: The utility is unmatched.
In that sense, the circle of nerf this, buff this and etc, is something that is needed imo. It’s up to the devs to have good judgement to which one do they listen to. Some things are overpowered and other underpowered, sometimes easily able to be seen with data, which the devs do have access but we do not so it’s hard to judge which one is “right”.
What we can do is give our feeeback and then the devs will look up the data and then determine if it’s right or wrong.
My take away from what he was getting at Zenith is that NW has a lot of players that are very loud about their opinions that cry nerf instead of trying to figure out if it is indeed the weapons being “OP” or if they are just handling the combat scenerios poorly. I am in no way going to claim I am some extraordinary NW god and in fact have accepted I have much to work on when it comes to pvp’ing specifically, but I will tell you that from reading a lot of “nerf” posts most people just refuse to learn/use the mechanics given to them in order to counter different styles of play. Which to me is not a balance issue it’s a player laziness issue. Pretty sure I’ve seen you around for a very long time so I would think you could atleast agree to some extent alot of players cry before actually doing proper testing.
I have a feeling its because of pve.
If we were buffing staff from last year, we would do lazarus M10 not in 19 min., but in 9 min.
This is only because of PVP the players always complain about everything and then there constantly stuffing our weapons around the faster they can have there own server or something and get lost the better then our weapons can be mostly stable and wont need nerfs and buffs every week/month.
Im a firm believer that if one thing/mechanic/whatever excels then its time to buff its counter rather than nerfing it to the ground.
It could work especially well in NW. There is not a lot of variables here to begin with.
Buff SnS tanking. thank you.
I tend to favor nerfs. When you start buffing everything to catch up to broken things… you just speed up the power creep that ruins the entire game. But if I call for a buff or nerf depends on how I feel about the situation and the state of the game. New World needs both buffs and nerfs but I think it needs far more nerfs for many more things.
If we were struggling to not tip the scales then im not entirely against it. But what we have right now is a culture of people who are more prone to lean on the negative inclinations. We are far more likely to click on a video that meantions the word hate horrifying, never, and in this case, nerf has that certain stimulous. This is unfortunate to think but is the fanbase simply chasing negative posts because we have been conditioned to do so? I think yes. Which is why im trying to do my best to hinder that with a crucade against the nerf culture. Because someone needs to take it down a few pegs so we can all bicker with at least a 50/50 ratio.
Because it’s better to nerf overpowered weapons than buff everything else, as the latter leads to ridiculous power creep.
Imagine if, rather than nerf heavy armor life staff, they cranked up light armor damage and disease. All of a sudden those become the only two viable playstyles, and anything in the middle just doesnt even stand a chance anymore.
Or, imagine if they didn’t nerf the rapier, but rather buffed grabs, roots, and melee tracking so you could keep up with rapier evades and fleches. This would “balance” the interaction between weapons and the rapier, but totally kill every other scenario.
This thread got me all nerfed up.
