    I'm waiting for the announcement that all servers have been shut down and wiped to essentially relaunch the game from scratch.  Because, that's about the only thing that this mess of a game hasn't had so far.






    I would support that. I love the game and would be willing to start over again if necessary! I'm having a blast!

    Still having fun in the game.
    Still undefeated defending our home.

    but... I dunno about the future. So much shit breaking that I guess I'm kind of numb to it.

    At the end of the day though... I can't complain. I got multiple copies of the game for free by "pre-ordering" it when it was F2P. Definitely got my money's worth :)

    And the gold exploiters who knew about this in beta mailed millions around the servers to unsuspecting players who are now receiving bans due to having that gold. Previously innocent players were getting autobans from groups of people spamming reports on people, New World devs have zero clue what they are doing.

    Finally decesive and stated PERMA bans (whether it's truly permanent... cross fingers).  :)

    Previously major exploits they were given out vague information... aka a lot reported 24 hour to a week bans.. not perma.

    They are just better off just being publishers! I mean, Crucible and now this! Just put all the effort towards getting Lost Ark released and you got yourself a paying customer.

    With a new bug that happened to me I'm also starting to lose patience.
    So the new 'feature' is that when you die you are stuck in the 'waiting for revive' pose.
    According to forums the only solution is to get revived by other players (GMs, devs can't do anything about this!). If you are for example under water your game ist over as you can't be rezzed. The best thing is, once you've had this bug it's permanently active and you cannot completely die ever again and from then on always need to be rezzed by other players.

    This is one the most ridiculous bugs I've ever had in my 20 years of playing MMOs.

    Seriously they need to get their sh.. together. This is getting out of hand.

    It's really sad that they don't have any other solution than to punish the whole population for the actions of some exploiters.
    A company like Blizzard would have hotfixed this within a few hours.

    Sad really.

    Yet again, why are gaming journalists just reporting the studios "transfers" line as a panacea? We had the server merges announced last week, yet no one called that out for the potential debacle it could be. Transfers only sort issues out long term so offer no immediate solutions and they have a track record of creating bugs which this studio finds hard to clamp down on.

    My concern is that this is not in entirety a mistake on their part, we may well see every MMORPG "launched" in what is really early access from now on. Now I am going to point the finger, many guys on here played Fallout 76 and accepted it, played Valheim in EA and thought nothing of it, you played NW in EA and think nothing of that. By doing this you are setting the level of what is acceptable as a "launch". 

    Not leveling all of this at you Cyromatrix, you may have not played Valheim or FO 76 for all I know, but players doing and accepting this are setting a precedent the studios are seizing hold of.

    P.S Good to see you posting more.

    I have 313.7 hours in this game since launch, I have done every dungeon, won/lost wars, invasions, world pvp, crafting, fishing... you name it... and I have stopped playing... The amount of bugs, dupes, exploits, broken weapong perks, unbalanced weapons, wars lagging out to no end, ninja nerfing items etc. makes this studio look incompetent.



    A couple weeks ago I would have schilled and argued with anyone hating on this game, but honestly at this point, AGS deserves all the hate they get over this game. Sloppy release, sloppy support, sloppy game. Shame on me for not listening to reason sooner.



    I read the final review of the title from last week, and was surprised it got a 6, I would have given it closer to a 4.



    To anyone still playing, I hope you are having fun, really I do.



    Yep..me and my wife love this game. I have about the same amount of hours in as you. Still lovin it. AGS will get over this hump. Nothing is ever smooth at first with any game. Looking forward to the compensation we will get for being patient with the devs working overtime on these things, and for the people that decided to take advantage of the dupes and exploits...well...so long!

    This reminds me of that Charlie Brown Halloween Episode when Linus is out there waiting for the great pumpkin.

    Linus says "Just wait ’til next year, Charlie Brown. You’ll see! Next year at this same time, I’ll find a pumpkin patch that is real sincere and I'll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He'll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he'll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I'll be waiting for him! I'll be there! I'll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch... and I'll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see, Charlie Brown"
    You think you're clever but seriously....how long has the game come out? Your analogy would be better suited for a Star Citizen release. Amazon has the resources and they have shown commitment, why anyone would think they won't fix this game is baffling to me. All I can think is haters and trolls who want to see it fail....another thing I don't get. People are enjoying it, if that bothers you then guess who is being trolled?

    So, Jean , wouldn't that indicate to the community that AGS is incompetent ,something that many if us have been saying for weeks ..

    they are in range for a low maintenance 150k playerbase, they'll stop pulling the levers now and get down to business unless they plan on scuttling the ship altogether lol.

    The management has been awful and I believe they are too arrogant to attempt an A Realm Reborn remake, which is what New World needs.I feel bad for the working devs that are caught up in this debacle.
    The only reason a full relaunch like ARR was possible was because of the strong attachment to the FF IP. There are very few IPs in the gaming world that could get away with that nonsense.

    This is why I usually wait for 6 months to a year after release before playing a MMORPG seriously. And I never put any time or money into a game in alpha.
    I saw you running around in LOTRO.
    *waves*

    On Crick ..?

     Or i thought i saw Olepi in Fallen Earth also ..
    Yeah, Crick.


    Im on Crick ,  saw Olepi yesterday also ... Was on Vilya till it shuttered Crick since


    Yeah, I started a new character on Crick. Haven't played Fallen Earth, surprised somebody stole my name.

    no no sorry if i did not explain that clearly ..

     I was in Fallen Earth yesterday a bit and LOTRO , i saw Olepi was not sure which game it was..

      Welcome to Crick :)

    Thanks, I have Olepi in New World too, but like many, I have decided to stop playing for now. I did the same thing in LoTRO: played in beta, bought it at launch, and then played for a short while. Then waited for a while to let it mature.

    I have played enough NW to know that I do want to play it more. And I usually wait 6 months to a year before playing a new MMO, to let it sort out.

    in fact, who's not gold maxed now with all these gold dupe exploit?

    i know none



    Believe it or not there are people who don't exploit. I would argue a vast majority don't exploit. The issue is that those who do exploit (usually in the power guilds), grow in even more power and dominate the games core game loop. I have 400 hours in the game and I didn't take advantage of any exploits it just isn't how I roll. When hatchets were chopping people up for 3k a swing, I stopped using the hatchet till it was fixed.

    So, there are a ton of us who don't have max gold and just play the game to have fun. We are the majority, but unfortunately Amazon doesn't ban the exploiters perm and that is what is hurting the game.

    I 100% agree with you. My wife and I been playing non stop since it came out. My guild way back from the UO days (we all in our late 40's to 50's now still playing. We enjoy the crafting, the PVE and love the PVP.

    I just wish they would ban these power guilds that are obviously abusing these dupes and bugs. Not a 24 hour ban, but erase the account type of ban. It needs to happen.
