Have you noticed that it seems like your teammates are nowhere to be found in OPR?
WHERE ARE THE DEVS
Because ONE human takes 5 game accounts and groups them up and ques for OPR. He then proceeds to take all 5 of his accounts into a corner and Void Gauntlet hurts themselves then Life Staff heals them all.
WHERE ARE THE DEVS
Your genius scoring system gives him full credit cause his accts get thousand of pts.
WHERE ARE THE DEVS
And the rest of us get to play 15 vs 20.
WHERE ARE THE DEVS
Thanks for allowing groups to que. Thanks for allowing healing itself to score. Thanks for basing rewards on a TERRIBLE scoring system, literally any gamer from age 5 years old up could come up with a better scoring system.
WHERE ARE THE DEVS
Thanks for the 15 vs 20 OPR.
WHERE ARE THE DEVS
IM NOT TALKING ABOUT VACATION. SCORING SYSTEM HASN’T CHANGED IN MONTHS!!!
some of the New World team will be taking some time to spend with their families and loved ones. Please be patient while awaiting non-critical (critical meaning things like maintenance notices, service outages, or updates) communication from us as the team will be operating at reduced capacity. Happy Holidays from the New World Team
There are at least 4 really bad decisions that the devs made with OPR.
how groups queue count team numbers, pre-made teams don’t properly count all team members allowing early game to be very unbalanced especially for low-pop servers that don’t have a full OPR
how contribution is counted in OPR that allows scoring for player that “game the system” and aren’t really contributing to winning in OPR
brutes change from a “slow” vortex manuever to non-stop “machine gun” bouldering - a change that was supposed to reduce the impact of brutes but just made them worst
spawn door that was designed to reduce spawn camping but just made it easier to spawn camp
Literally so many poor choices by the devs and choices made by the devs that had the opposite effect from what was intended. It says that they aren’t experienced or familiar enough with how their game is played in order to make the decisions that they do.
Business as usual for new world… make a change no one wants to bandaid an exploit, honest players suffer, exploiters find a workaround and continue exploiting. The root issue never gets resolved and quality of life for everyone else goes down.
In the United States people with decent careers, in many cases, don’t work much between December 22ish-Janauary 2ish. It’s when most people use the bulk of their leave hours.
This sort of thing is why win trading isn’t as easy as scoring or AFK detection.
Once exploiters figure out the system, they just exploit it.
Of course the best way would just be to remove all PvP whatsoever. It’s just a big time, money, and resource sink chasing after cheaters and exploiters.
The PvP in this game is badly thought out. The top PvP games are simply not set up like this. It’s instanced group matches and the win conditions don’t allow you to just sit in a corner or go AFK or bot some routine.
It’s not like they fixed many of the bugs since launch from September 28 to December 21st (they claimed a lot of fixes but generally they weren’t actually fixed and they still haven’t fixed basic mechanics and they usually introduced more bugs for every fix). So them not doing anything for a couple of weeks is about par for the course.
They dont care. Devs dont participate in OPR. Devs load up the game fully equipped without the need to grind out the idiotic HWM/Expertise system and play.
They have developed the game and made changes to it to their liking not to the liking of the player base.
Like the Indianapolis, this ships sinking fast.
Jesus man, calm down, you are way overreacting.
