I haven’t yet figured out why some people are so heavily invested in their own discontent. Maybe they see it as an objective they are capable of achieving? idk
I think they will do some fixes the next week, but after the playerbase dropped under a critical point - I’d say 100k players - they quickly will go to maintenance mode and never bother again. We might see one or two content patches that they developed during beta already and that’s it. This will be another Warhammer Online situation, but accelerated. You know why? Because their go to game Lost Ark, which will be a money printing machinery, will launch early next year. New World will be forgotten by then, by most players and most importantly by Amazon.
Remove the declaration cost.
Sounds to me like you just want a different game altogether.
I am lost, you bash the game but have 250 hours I’m it. Like dude if you hate it so much why 250 hours in it.
I think you’re looking for a single player game. Companies & factions are supposed to be about community building. Some of this is server dependent and people dependent. My server/faction has it’s own discord channel and they work to include people, especially ones who haven’t had a chance to war before. They just had 2 open wars anyone of any level could join, just post in the Discord to be included. It may take some time for you to find the company & faction that is a good fit for you. Keep looking. The right fit is out there.
what server
You don’t have to join a company to do open world PvP, which is where this game excels anyway.
Pssst… when it comes to the issue you’re having it’s not the game that’s broken.
He’s only Lever 46, thats why!
Im Lever 2000 …

i’m confused i don’t recall everquest being free to play when it came out there was a subscription month for it. Starting in March, 2012, the original Everquest will be going “free to play” and the subscription fee will be optional . everquest release date March 16, 1999 game didn’t go free til 2012.

EQ was you had to buy the discs (I still have all the originals!) and then pay a monthly sub on top of it to play.
For all the Hate EQ got after the years youre never going to find another game as good as it lore wise.

I think most of you missed my point completely.
It is possible to make a game that is NOT a pyramid scheme and this game FAILED.
If you really wanted a community then why would you exclude players? Wouldn’t it be nice if EVERYONE’s contributions counted? That’s the game I want to play.
Instead, this game pushes people to join the one guild in with your faction who runs shit.
That’s my 2 cents
Well said. One solution would be skirmishes of some kind. I guess that’s somewhat of what Outpost Rush is… but let everyone taste war in a practice sense, because there’s no way everyone can get involved. The numbers just don’t add up - and as you said, it’s the game design. If people don’t like that, they didn’t understand the game they started playing.
That’s the issue I am seeing. I don’t want to join a large company and be a MINION for some streaming asshole just to play content. That is the issue I see and why I most likely will stop playing at 60.
and in what real world does a game dev listen to every single person and add what they want? Would it be nice for everyone contribution to count sure but how real is that? You get 100k people all wanting something would be to hard to give everyone what they wanted.
Didn’t I say I have only been crafting and gathering resources? I thought that was clear. No exaggerate. That is all. If you think its a game to gather and craft for no gain except for something to burn time well here is the game of games. You can spend 10 days real life gathering and burning all the mats into crafting because you cant sell them or store them. It is an exercise in monotony. I have only run into bug and unpayable lag when attempting any content.
I am on disability at the moment with nothing but time to kill. If you healthy people think spending 250 hours cutting logs and looking for ore nodes as the sole purpose of this game is a success. Then so be it.

There’s so much doom and gloom on these forums. A lot of people are having fun playing the game, and a lot aren’t having fun. it’s pretty simple if you aren’t having fun, stop playing. If you think things need to be changed, give your issues a voice in a productive manner and hope that is changed. If you don’t like how the game is now, give it a bit and maybe come back to it. If you are enjoying it, probably best to avoid the forums and subreddit.

Outpost Rush and other potential future “battleground” style queued content should offer PvP options for people whether they’re in a guild or not. Assuming they ever fix it and have plans to add other ones eventually.
The queue times I expect will be horrendous on some servers due to differing levels of interest and faction balance, which is why I also hope they do cross-server queues for that kind of content to give faster access to it across all servers.

Agreed. It’s not really fun when you need to prove yourself to other people that your good enough or fun enough or whatever their expectations are just to be able to participate in a major part of the game. I see where the devs were coming from here but I just don’t think it’s going to work out that well.
In a real community not every single person who gets to enjoy the benefits of the community needs to be top dog but that seems to be the case here.
