I’m not going to discuss anything I’ve already brought up in the past, only what I think the game needs as a PVE player and having only logged in for about 30 minutes in the past 2 weeks.
The end zones are dull and boring. There’s simply nothing to make me go, "Wow! That is beautiful or amazing or anything… no dungeon fights to excite me to go back, no zones, no abilities, housing… you can’t fly, you can’t swim, you can’t really do anything exciting in New World.
They might as well rename the game, Mediocre World.
The fact that they thought it was acceptable to create a system where the players need to manage many sets of gear, yet give them no way to do so. Now they’re finally working on one, that will arrive in the next 3-6 months… but there’s so little to do that players do chest runs through dead zones because they really want New World to be a great game, but the company making it apparently has no money to create content, and their big backer, Amazon, the richest company in the world doesn’t care enough to actually make it happen.
Gear/Weapons are mostly junk, 99% of player have no idea what is good and what is bad, and have no idea what to craft, or how to craft. Crafting is ridiculously expensive to reach to 150+; Storage is a ridiculous mess. The 500 unique item limit in inventory is stupid, specially in a game that has a million craft items (which further causes confusion in people), Expeditions that require BIS geared players to party up, in an empty party search, useless “dodging” with medium/heavy gear, OP Bows/Muskets, Aimbot cheatters, No fun “Boss Meta’s”, Stories and Quests are boring book pages that nobody wants to read through, Wars, invasions are long, boring, and start too late at night. there is practically nothing fun to do in this game. What I see most player doing most of the time is just harvesting nodes throughout the map, or doing ECR’s…
The Developers should’ve played Guild Wars 2 so that they could’ve used some of their fun ideas in New World. Map Meta bosses in Guild Wars 2 are SUPER FUN, gear can actually be salvaged for useful things, their inventory/storage sheds isn’t a hot mess as New Worlds, Guild Wars 2 also has FUN Holiday events with good drops, and everyone can enjoy, not just LV60’s where junk TEMPORARY drops disappear after the event… Guild Wars 2 also has the best gear/weapon features, their legendaries actually ARE legendary, not New World version of junk “legendary”.
Dev’s, please play Guild Wars 2 and use their good ideas.
I am working towards The Ascension - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W) atm, it’s so cool that you can decide if you want to get your Legendary through sPvP, WvWvW or PvE.
