I feel this game will become a gotcha game with a westerner “flip”.
I hope I’m wrong, but I can easily see soon in the store stuff like exp boosts, crafting boosts, rare material boosts, teleporting scrolls/currency etc
If they go full gotcha, they will then introduce a store only weapon type, gathering speed increases, etc
The excuse will always be “no monthly fee”, and the younger generations of gamers that are growing up with microtransactions and soft-P2W everywhere will swallow it becuz it just normal to them…
I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it
I feel the combat is way to simple for a action combat. The game feels like a tab target mmorpg with the use of a mouse camera only. Obviously, nothing is like Black Desert when it comes to action combat mmorpg but I was hoping they would overhaul the combat to feel close to Tera.
If its 17th century, why you can have huge medieval axes and hammers and shiny knight armor? This doesn't make any sense to me
You either follow the concept of the game and make everything look like 17th century or you change the whole concept of the game and put knights with hammers into storyline.
My main issue is content… I seriously have no inspiration to keep playing.
1. Story is non existent.
2. Questing is non existent due to there being no story.
3. No relatable characters.
4. Combat is fun for a few hours then becomes bland quite fast..
5. Crafting is the only side activity I found
6. The community sucks. One of the worst I've experienced so far, and I play Dota 2 and WoW used to be my main game. Thats saying a lot.
7. Theres no customization in terms of transmogging / glamours.
8. No mounts to collect
9. No raids or real PVE content.
10. The pvp is suppose to be the main thing but it's so bad man..probably because of the sluggish server response playing from South Africa. Didn't have the same issue with other MMOs. Still, a multi trillion dollar company can buy servers to accommodate all its players. If SMALL companies like Battlestate games (Escape from Tarkov) can give us a server in SA why not the mighty Amazon?
Shallowness, grind and a lack of meaningful endgame is most MMOs fail shortly after launch and New World is all of these things.
This game could have used another year or two of development just to create more content.
This game will be pay 2 win by the new year.
And it will be free to play with a premium subscription within a year of its launch.
Seems like the game it's closest to is Black Desert rather than FF14/WoW, however the combat and movement seems super bland compared to BDO, plus if you're a graphics junkie BDO is 10x better. It doesn't seem "bad" but it doesn't seem excellent either. I can't see many people leaving any of the major MMOs (FF, WoW, BDO, GW2, ESO) for this. Probably OK for a person who is new to MMOs and doesn't have any other expectations or currently playing another.
I think this game comes down to "what's your $/hrs ratio". It's 40 bucks and a handful of hours of fun due to its very finite amount of content. I looked at it and said I'll maybe get 10 hours out of it…..4 $/hour…..I'm out. I have a good friend who looked at it and saw 30-40 hours of content of exploration and crafting….good value, he's liking it. The real test will be in a month or two when everything has dried up and if there'll be some kind of support for the game or if the community makes it their own (a la Conan MMO).
Ah yes another beta game being released for beta payers. I just got bad vibes from this games development from day 1. If you enjoy it you enjoy it, but I don’t think Amazon will commit to making this a proper game. They will undoubtedly start focusing on money and add in micro-transactions. Eventually the game will revolve around this, the gameplay is being setup for this. “Fast Travel Orb x10 for $9.99” “Max Level boost $60.00” “God Armor + sword $120.00 *usable in pvp & does not lose durability*” “Friend Teleport scroll x10 $9.99”
I've played it a fair bit since release. It's better when you just go around exploring. The graphics are mind blowing, especially for some of the later zones.
For $40 and no monthly fee, I'm having a good time. It's beautiful, the sound design is excellent, and gathering is super satisfying (fishing mini-game included). The rest of the design is about ten years old in MMO terms. I think I'll get my moneys worth until level cap and I won't feel bad taking extended breaks while I pick FFXIV back up at Endwalker launch.
the developers no doubt have exhaustive market research behind this, but i just have no idea who the game is meant to be for. it gives me the vibe of a fictional mmo that a vfx team mocked up for, like, a black mirror episode.
when amazon releases a product or service, your first thought is always ok, how predatory is the pricing and can they actually make the competition fold? in this case, i don't know the answers and it makes me nervous.
I believe MMORPG as a genre are going thru identity crisis at the moment. At one end, it is trying to bank on the MMO aspect like it had been since the beginning. At other end, it is being altered back to single player story driven game where emphasizes the RPG. I seriously think that FF14 is on the right track for the MMORPG renaissance. Since forever, MMORPG has been stigmatized with grind and time commitment. And rightly so. Time has changed. Average gamer age has risen to 30 and 40s. Most of then are now middle-aged adults with diminished time for gaming. A game that respect your time but at the same time still offer fair commitment for those want is in high demand. I seriously think that New World has come out at a bad time. They should have done more research and embraced the modern MMORPG genre, not copying the old tired tradition.
The problem with PVP/War mode being the end game is that its 50 v 50. Literally 5% of the online population at most per War.
FFXIV had also long queues at launch, so its not that uncommon. Potential players count is hard to predict, even with beta. It can be way more than beta players… or not, so they dont buy all servers at once.
Idk, New World didnt conviced me. It will certainly find playerbase, but because its 'buy in', they already got what they wanted from players. To buy the game.
So they arent bound to keep developing/fixing the game in future. When game stops growing(read profitable), they can simply turn servers off.
Kind off like Star Wars Galaxies.
Btw, if you get bored, watch /emote.

You'll never make something like this in WoW….
Man this game is BORING and nothing about the game play itself compensates for a complete lack of purpose or vision. Just another farm game. At least Destiny 2 has fun game play and fast travel via speeders to keep my half way engaged while doing repetitive farming missions.
Nice Street Fighter V shirt! Love that game lol.
I tried looking at the gameplay and content. Graphics-wise, it is pretty solid. Gameplay is okay but on the bland side. Story is…meh…I personally like games which are story-driven or has a rich lore tied into it because it just means that there is room for growth, story-wise and that the developers really thought of the game at the onset. Personally, its okay but I think content/story trumps graphics for me so will definitely not pick this up unless they vastly improved it in the near future….which I doubt as of the moment XD
Quazii! Just poppin’ in to say I miss your WoW content man! Hoping you make a return one day! Happy gaming dude!
New and shiny but it lacks any soul really. It's a sandbox mmo and offers nothing new only it's looks better than the many MMOs that came before. I'll check back after a lot of patches.
I wonder If the fish of New World walk along the Bottom of the river
I don't think you know what roleplaying is, you seem to think it's like reading a book. That is not roleplaying at all. Roleplaying is using the New World to create your own story. This is why SWTOR, WoW and others isn't really roleplaying, they are controlling the story very very tightly with minimal options.
New World does it better than most, they do need some world building story, so you're on a ship as a sailor, not a pirate and they control how you arrive, but after that you have to write the book yourself.
