Well it was expected at some point. The forums are the end game afterall
I don’t see anywhere where it says a mmo rpg must be played with people in groups… and is required… I must have missed that part when looking up what a mmo rpg is…
Hmm
I gues you can play solo in most MMO rpg but to see the end game content (Gear etc) you generally had to group with people single group or guild raids
As someone who rerolled my character and has been fighting level 60s for the past 60 levels since I decided to flag full-time, I was very much looking forward to finally hitting 60 and actually being on a level playing field.
Now it is going to be months before that playing field is actually level. It will take me longer to get to 600 GS than literally any single player in the game right now has been playing for, and honestly? I don’t think it’s worth it.
You’re wrong if you don’t think that Expertise is going to have an effect on my experience in the game.
Are you attempting to blame the state of the current game on the future?
I corrected a statement OP made with incorrect info. I never said it wouldn’t affect your gameplay.
This is Not a MMORPG… Nothing “Massive” about NW.
Multiplayer Online yes. But 2500max is not massive by any way, shape or form and
is why OPR is dead on most servers. (they really shoulda instanced this and gave everyone access on all servers.
As far as RPG goes, The story is completely un-engaging and thrown in as an after thought. This part, may change and soon even. but right now… no… there is not one story, one character, one anything that makes you as a Role player, feel engaged or even care about your faction or the tiny little micro island we all play on as a whole.
If you are interested in the lore (as I am) you’ll need to hit you tube. It really (currently) is the only way to find out about New World lore history, trying to peace together the lore of NW threw Notes you find is completely un-engaging and although I enjoy finding and reading them, it’s more relaxing then inspiring.
This is a Multiplayer Online Semi PVP, Semi Survival, Grinder.
Does not mean it will always be such… just how i see it as of this day.

Blah blah blah entitled blah blah blah blah blah entitled blah blah entitled.
Watching this:
Got me pumped to play new world. But I love the RPG in MMORPGs 
I would have never probably played this game if I knew the Watermark system existed.
The RNG Diablo garbage stat generator with weapons is bad enough.
If I kill a god and get a god weapon… .I expect it to be god weapon quality… Not… Oh… congrats… have this weapon… sorry even though you put in the work You have not looted enough Other Random X weapons to really have this weapon live up to its full potential so you are wasting your time here… Go loot X more chests to be a better player.
No… its a horrible system loot system where you are not truely bettering yourself as a player looting boxes… there is no enjoyment mashing the buttons for the effort. Bosses have little to no mechanics.
I would rather get nothing then an item dropping to possibly increase my chance to eventually get one 100 days from now when i eventually cap out.
As you can see many players have trouble getting past the 30 day mark… you think delaying that satisfaction is going to keep the common player around.
Ohh loook I crafted these great items… Why buy it when i can’t use it till i loot a drop just like it to get the gears effect.
Good news all!
The BIG change
In early 2022, when we start reducing the effectiveness of gear to your Expertise level, we will exempt the following items:
- Any item you craft
- Any item you earn from a quest
- Any item you purchase from the faction shop
Face the truth, they have a target audience and if we are pissed, we are not the kind of players they are looking for. Time to move on.

You obviously don’t read patch updates. WMing is going to be far easier now and all the gear people grinded will retain their GS even if your WM is lower after patch. So these updates will only apply to new items and there’s 3 exceptions.
People need to be patient. It’s a new game and a less experienced game Company. Amazon is hiring a ton of new people and even trying to acquire a more experienced game company to merge with. Like… just go take a break and wait a few months then. New games have issues, welcome to Year 1.

Did you even read what he said?
So you’re just here to whine and bash on others instead of playing a fun game?
OH maybe they need a NO guy instead of YES MEN… I’m available for hire.
And yeah they are grandfathering current gear for current players, but i also have the forethought to take the view of how future players will be screwed by this.
Catch up mechanics are a big deal to new players or to game that are over 6 months old in this type of genre.
You just can’t always tell people oh… yeah the games 3 years old you have to spend 2 years grinding to get to where I Am now and forever be behind.
And now you read latest dev post …
Right now there is a very good catchup mechanism. Levelup to 60 - buy cheap 590+ gear from TP, congratz, you are on the same level as anyone who spent 500 hours in game … we need to find a middle way, don’t you think?
In which way is this graph supporting your point? Just curious
You do realize Watermarking will be EASIER after the patch? The reason they’re making these updates is because WMing took forever and was boring. I feel like you don’t understand the patch notes even though they continually update their post explaining it in easier terms.

This is exactly what I expected to happen.
There was that one guy who liked the game and was a crafter. He gave away all his stuff and uninstalled NW because of the original patch notes.
I NEED to dig out that thread now just to rub that in
