Amazon ships an MMORPG - New World

oh yea, I forgot to mention, there's no swimming. You just walk through the water, started laughing the first time I watched him cross a river. Looked exactly like this:

Appears they made the genius decision of making names unique globally across all servers.

Very wise, preparing for the inevitable server "consolidation" in a few months time.

P. much inevitable. Altho a week from launch and there are still queues. People are sticking around more than expected.

Yeah, the respawn time usually gets me bitten in the ass when I'm inspecting loot too. I killed a boss boar and it respawned while I was looking around his little cave (I couldn't mine the silver ore vein yet but he would have interrupted me if I could). I keep seeing articles about how the respawn is still not fast enough in very populated servers which results in people skinning animals you killed, but that will probably calm down in a while. Apparently the respawn times are not universal either which suggests the devs are still tweaking them.

One quest in particular is soul-destroying. It's a faction quest that sends you to hunt sheep. All you're told is that there are sheep and you must kill them, which suggests that any old sheep will do. That is a lie. It's a specific kind of sheep, and naturally it's the rarer one. I reckon there are maybe two or three sheep spawning in the area, but it's hard to tell when they vanish so quickly. This is a very early quest, so it's also one a lot of people will be doing.

Didn't read spoilers for the MQ but I'm guessing the island is a magic barrier preventing the corruption from coming in from somewhere else and taking over the world.

Would you recommend it, I followed this game for a while and I want to play it but one of my brothers played it and he said he noticed major latency in combat which he feels is a SA international bandwidth problem? Which is very rare if true because we have quick access to overseas markets but he said the combat is very different and requires bandwidth ?

Hard to say, I play on a reasonably populated south american server so I don't notice any issues. Fortunately everyone and their mom is playing it so you can probably find someone in your region streaming it on twitch.

It's like a game that was released in the middle of development with how barebones it is. Everything besides the environment seems like a placeholder. Copy-pasted quests in copy-pasted areas fighting copy-pasted enemies. Skill "trees" seem like a rough first draft just to lay out the basic idea. Same deal with the 3-button combat, crappy random prefix loot, by the numbers gathering/crafting, etc.,.


People were actually excited for this?


Environment is pretty tho. Might give it a play in a few years.

That reminds me of PWI waaaay back. Walking on lava or sleeping on it was fine. You could swim anywhere and never drown; just avoid the nasties. I spent a long time in that giant whirlpool.

one of the towns is essentially another town copy-pasted + rotated

POIs being copy-pasted was lazy, this is just hilarious

Yeah, some of my old buddies who I played DAoC and Warhammer with convinced me to pick this up and while I don't think it's as good as those games for several reasons, I did poopsock pretty hard these first few weeks to grind up muh crafting.

I made some decent coin by rushing engineering and mining so I could craft starmetal tools. That was sort of a flash-in-the-pan sort of thing, I suppose, because now as more players have leveled up their tradeskills no one's buying. Without the ability to make alts on the same server, and how easy it is to be a jack-of-all-trades in crafting, pretty much everything you can make will be devalued eventually. My three biggest pet peeves with the game are the lack of enemy variety, lack of alts on the same server (half the fun of leveling a tradeskill is being able to gear out your lowbie alts) and lack of low-level instanced PvP.

I'm really hungry for a new 'cash crop', but don't know what sells. I'm thinking maybe jewelry, food, potions... things that you're going to use regardless of build.

Jewelry does not drop from world drops, but there are a bunch of quest rewards that compete with you. The quest rewards are not always for ideal stats. There are also some set jewelry drops from boss mobs that are not necessarily ideal stats.

The thing is that gear drops from random garbage up to and including 600 GS. It is infinitely faster to kill a level 63 boar and get a high GS item than it is to get to crafting 200, but it isn't necessarily going to be ideal. With crafting you can customize the stats or one perk, so you are more likely to get a desirable stat or perk once you have finished the grind and use all high quality materials plus the craft boost gear/trophies/etc.

The faction gear is also relatively good for perk and stat allocation and is available all the way up to 520 GS. It takes less time to farm up a full set of the level 60 faction gear than it takes to fill up 1,000 lbs maybe 1.5 times in mining runs that might only generate a relatively small number of items, most of which will be destined for salvage. You can farm up a complete et plus some extra pieces in maybe 2-3 hours straight running the circuit in Shattered Mountain, but it's significantly less time needed at every lower tier.

There are also reasons to buy multiple sets for different roles in PvP and PvE, such as a flanker build, pure healer, AoE cancer pvp caster, heal hybrid, PvE tank, PvP tank, siege-killer, siege weapon user, etc. and all of these would require either infinity hours of farming or fewer hours of farming but using a crafter.

Every time I see this game it's people mining/farming/crafting.

Does anything happen in this game outside of this Bob the Builder shit?

 

[Reever]

I was wondering why I couldn't find this game on Steam. Turns out someone added Walking Simulator to it's tags so it kept being filtered out. :D

pvp in the form of who can get the other people banned the fastest by mass reporting

that's 11 hours a day

fucking pleb numbers, you aren't even trying

 

[Reever]

So is the game any good? I've been thinking of picking it up next month but I'm not exactly sold on it yet. How are PVP and dungeons?

My dude, just use the 2-hour refund steam policy and see for yourself.

Competency is one thing but being such a scumbag to resort to such tactics in a freaking game is just as terrible if not worse.

I found a company[local equivalent of a guild] with “Holocaust” as part of their name. They say the only requirement to join is that you “be racist”.

Well, I see there's a few members of the codex playing that game

If I'm not mistaken you can change guild name all the time without cost, so it's probably staged shit to just complain or troll.
