Why do we keep deluding ourselves? This game is horrible and it's not going to improve

Many of us keep deluding ourselves into thinking that this game is worth playing, but the harsh truth is, it is fundamentally a crap game on so many levels, and it’s not going to get better any time soon.

There is literally no endgame pve content. Endgame content means grinding elite zones and opening chests. I mean c’mon… What are you even opening the chests for? Your gear is already good enough to do the elite zones, which is the endgame content…

PvP is supposed to be a major part of the game, but it’s a complete joke. There is 0 reason for people to flag for pvp. When you do encounter people at the pvp quests, 99% of the time it’s a completely unbalanced fight of 1 faction zerging up on people who stand no chance. And even when you do encounter a 1v1 or 1v2, the classes (weapons) are so ridiculously unbalanced that there hardly is any point in trying half of the time. A lifestaff for example can LITERALLY survive alone against 3 players trying to kill him. The word ‘overpowered’ doesn’t even apply to it anymore. A better word would be “complete fucking GODMODE”.
This is exactly what is wrong with this game. This has nothing to do with “the game being new, so things are not perfectly balanced yet…”. That’s a fucking excuse. They are LITERALLY not even trying to balance the game at the moment. Lifestaff and GA/hatchet have been completely broken, and people have been telling about it since the beta’s. And it’s not like they tried to balance it but that things are not perfect yet, not…, THEY LITERALLY HAVEN’T EVEN SPEND 1 SECOND TRYING TO BALANCE IT.

Outpust rush has been disabled FOR WEEKS because of a relatively minor bug where people had trouble leaving the instance. I mean c’mon…

And the only remaining form of actual pvp content is wars, which essentially has 0 individual skill involved and is all about spamming aoe in a blob. Sure, tactics are important, but aside from the leader coming up with tactics and giving orders, other players literally have nothing to do but spam aoe in a blob like a braindead monkey.

And here we are…, deluding ourselves into thinking the game is still worth playing. Hoping that perhaps…, “more content will come soon!”. Guys…, we are wasting our time here. They literally need weeks to fix a minor bug in outpost rush and they LITERALLY aren’t even trying to balance the weapons, and we try to tell ourselves that things will get better soon… THEY WONT. I know this post is going to be very offensive to the mods because you are supposed to be nice, etc. But I really don’t care anymore. Countless of players are thinking exactly what I wrote and it needs to be said.

WE NEED TO STOP DELUDING OURSELVES. THE GAME IS BAD, AND IT’S NOT GOING TO GET BETTER.
It’s time to stop playing.

The game is worth playing right now. For how long it is worth or how much we should invest in it depends on personal expectations and developers ability to make the game better over time.

I was just going to read and move on as usual, but since I’ve been a recent witness to the power of the life staff in heavy faction armor, I decided to just say: this guy is telling the truth.

I’ve seen a guy being jumped on by three of an enemy faction and he just stood there, jumping and walking in circles inside his “sacred ground”, making fun of us while healing himself back to full every few seconds. I was a possible fourth in the area, but seeing he had a life staff and was wearing heavy faction armor, I didn’t even try just not to look like a clown like the other three.

After a few minutes we just started talking to each other and commenting on how life staff and heavy faction armor is absurdly overpowered to the point of outright broken.

That’s solely the only thing that has been keeping me playing: hope for a brighter future.

Such hope has been slowly dying each day bugs, exploits and bad design multiply themselves with each patch.

Sometimes I wish AGS rolled New World back to the first build with which they released its first alpha.

You are wrong OP, no offense.

The game is wonderful, I love it but I had to stop playing it for the time being due to the issues there are, bugs and exploits. I refuse to take part in Wars or Invasions due to exploits and bugs for example.

BUT I love the world and environment, I love gathering and just doing what I am doing.

This is what you believe, what I can say, it isn’t the only reason.

The problems they are facing now is beyond game balance, and they have no time to do it right now.

It is a game for us to come to play and enjoy, if it isn’t bringing quality time for me, I just do anything else or play another game. When I play a game I take it seriously. I invest in the objectives and manage to be above average in almost all aspects, but in the end, is a game, is a tool for leisure. If it stresses you on a level it is affecting your life, you just need to put it aside and remove it from your life.

The sad part isn’t how grossly imbalanced the lifestaff is right now.
It doesn’t truly get pathetic until you read the developer’s official response.
I don’t have the link available, but this is what they may or may not have said:

“We believe the over powered life staff is kind of funny. Hell, after a day of trying to fix a steaming pile of buggy code we like to kick back and run around in a zergball blowing up noobs and shit right outside of Monarch’s Bluff. We just laugh, and laugh, and laugh… and will continue to do so until this game is shut down. Cry more losers!”

Undoubtedly, at some point a community moderator will get on here and deny that quote. The moderator will tell you a bunch of nonsense about how games, upon release, typically have balance issues and that these issues are being tracked and fixes are already in the works. There will be verbiage (all lies) about how there are several balance issues in need of attention and there will be a plea for a little bit of patience.

Don’t fall for it: File that lawsuit NOW.

Just like me, you seem to deeply love the assets, the environment, the atmosphere, the graphics, the landscapes and (most of) the sounds. The actual game underneath it - the code - is a complete and absolute mess that each days looks more and more to be beyond repair.

I wonder at what point in time it became cool to not leave a game, but say you’re leaving and stick around.
