What is your FAVORITE aspect of New World right now?

I clearly love the PvC (player vs chests)

Run elite zones to zerg the elite chests.
When you are done run some supply chest runs to MAYBE get some trophy materials.
Then when i get bored of that i run some PvP quests, which funnily enough, consist of looting two chests.

Of course sometimes i go level my trade skills, but not before looting thousands of chests to get the refinement materials :heart_eyes:

Most do, really. You just can’t see it under the bruises and broken trust emotionalism that clouds any room in which we gather.

Almost none of which has given any ‘game designer’, ‘gameplay engineer’, or ‘executive producer’ pause to consider that they’re training their market to become what they least want to be - Pavlovian consumers who drool and mobilize on command for shiny pixels (drops)… and in the doing, sawing their corporate jugular twain by butterknife as they drop PR that talks about “metaverse” as if it’s a manufactured place rather than a technologically emergent property.

You put a neuroscientist (I recommend Robert Sapolsky - Wikipedia), an anthropologist (I recommend Katherine Browne), a behavioral economist (I recommend Robert J. Schiller, and a game level designer in a sequestered room and the design bible THEY deliver will shake your snowglobe in ways you could not imagine.

So, yeah… hardcore R&D time. If leadership in this industry can’t recognize it, all the better for the competition that usurps them.

RL PvP if you think about it. A new world. (wink)

Just chilling out not taking the game too serous. Doing my grinds perpairing for what’s to come.
We all know current end game sucks tennis balls. But with what’s been data mined I’m hopefull for the future. Treating this like vanilla wow where the foundation is good but Content is lacking. I’m sure good things are coming. So many games have sucked at launch but got so much better.

I’m hoping for a NMS style turnaround.

OPR is cool but with 1 mode gets tedious. Would like another 2 modes in the rotation to mix it up a bit.

I’m not too fussed about the watermark grind but it does feel a bit arbitrary and artificial. I don’t think they expected people to sit and grind it out but because some have we all have to or sell nothing gear wise lol.

Teething problems but overall not unhappy. Just hopefull for change.

Bot wise, I have mostly come across a specific set of bots that literally run nekkid from resource to resource and then straight back to the trade station. They even did it today while trade was turned off, and if that’s not a friggen hint, I don’t know what is.

Outpost Rush.

I actually enjoy a lot. Hard to pick a favorite.

There should be a good list like this though. Glad you started one.

Three cheers for Sapolsky!

For those who don’t know Sapolsky you can find a number of his lectures and interviews on YouTube.

I recommend the following from his free, first year lecture series on YouTube:

#neurodiversity is real and gaming is about to be T-boned by it.

Once I found that I could just about level to 60 running territory and faction missions out of EF I realized that at 60 I’m going to have fun exploring every other zone I’ve not been to before.

And don’t miss his lecture on depression. The neurological insights will have you questioning what the nature of mental illness is really.

Ok, ok, we’re about to fall into one of the best and most educational rabbit holes on the internet.

Do not watch this video if you are happy with your life.

p.s.: This also happens to be a fairly clear roadmap for a metaverse, if you can manage to reach the lens for it. – eg –
