    Underwhelming and uninspired update IMO , they need to do better than this.

    I would have expected them to tackle game mechanics prior to an update like this. /sigh

    It sounds like Mutators are similar to WoW Mythic+ dungeon affixes.

    Pretty well the same.

    Well clearly they are doing something, but difficult to say what effect this will really have. Maybe when players have had a chance to dive in we will hear more.

    Most casuals/snowflakes don't like it, but the game needs damage meter in dungeons, if they are going to have damage checks, like you have in depths. Right now players have no idea if they are doing bad or good. So you are running dungeon with players who think they are doing good, but they are straight up sucking. And then you wonder why you keep failing at damage checks. Then you start suggesting weapons switch without any data backing you.

    Nope, there's a big difference.
    All the "usual suspects" will tell you that in WoW, they are awesome, while in NW, they suck. Even without ever having played a single one in both games ;)

    The New World expedition bullshit bingo gets its next iteration. Dungeon keys to enter, gypsum to level gearscore and now umbral shards for the mutated SAME content as at release time. All they do is add more grind to the same nice loocking life time eater with each update. Most uninspiring MMO I have ever played.

    Still don't understand the point of the dungeon keys, just let people run the dungeons for gear

    Don't bring your casual bullsh#t into dungeons, if you can't pull your weight. Rest of the party don't have to suffer because you are too lazy to properly gear yourself.

    It's so cute when PvErs take their dungeon runs so seriously.

    Honestly, didn't plan on taking a break from NW but after seeing this I just did a 180 and will be breaking till "new" content. Altering anymore existing content isn't what players need/want. especially the stupid dungeon system with orbs/keys that shouldn't even exist.
