  1. Cross server OPR is not "major PvP content" and so far the OPR changes are minimal at best. The expansion is going to have to deliver because right now there's just no PvP content.

  2. You've built a complex and cumbersome game. Pushing territory is abolutely eye watering boredom. Firestaff and Bow wreck my bruiser and I have no counter and to honest I'm tired of it. You seem to forget you're, at heart, selling entertainment, and I haven't been entertained. Glad you have been though. Keep up the great work building YOUR game. I'm off to go find mine. After 3600 hours in, I'm done. Goodbye.

  3. Awesome work team!

    Removing Bane and Ward will definitely help a lot of the endgame gatekeeping/grinding the game has currently. Love the buffs coming to OPR PVE (turrets and doors) and think the game will be greater than the 20v20 player balls at Sun which very often end in short, landslide games (1000-100) as well as help the gap between veteran and new level 60 players.

    I would love to see a large number of new armor and weapon perks centered around player actions (both combat and recreational), the current ones available are no longer exciting to pursue and could make crafting exciting again as well as stimulate the economy.

    Thanks for creating my favorite game.

  4. with the removal of ward perks and increasing the ward potion duration are you planning to adjust/compensate for the loss of the ward protections or will we be losing the 25% (30% with a shield) damage absorption? additionally, what about being able to currently use different elemental ward potions on top of mob family ward perks on armor and shields? will we lose that as well?

  5. Wars are a joke. Everyone is using alts on every server and basicaly gatekeep one of your own content. We have no new freshblood for pvp and game is dying because you dont do jackshit about it. Solution is simple : every war at 10pm on every server. No more alts. Do something it takes you 3s to save your dying game

  7. I came to this game for the PvP, and I'd like to comeback – but the lack of PvP content prevents me. Don't get me wrong, I like PvE, but for me in PvE I prefer to heal, I just hate that there is only one way to do that right now.

  8. Really nice work you guys are doing in keeping the information flow running.

    Also great job on moving forward in changing the resilient/ward/bane system. It is a change we were hoping for since launch.

    PVP vise: I am really looking foward to the moment you start to prioritize long lasting content (e.g. competitive arena with a ranked system and cosmetic rewards/titles/glows…) over short term solutions such as new maps, which go stale very quickly. Cross world opr and a new map will not hold the pvp scene it is a casual pve based mode and should be seen as such. Just hurts to see that there is so much unused potential to give competitive pvpers a home and creating easy long lasting content.
    Nevertheless, you are on a good path, keep it up.

    Friends, you are always changing the pve because of the pvp. So to say that you want to separate the two now, it seems a bit late, what do you say?
    Then another thing, if people have not bothered to make the sets, to get the trophies and get in a position to do things even end game, why should the solution be to eliminate the sets? The fault lies with those who did not bother to compete.

  10. OPR MAP ????? you can create tons of dungeons even focus on to make them extremely great you say? and even creating a whole raid as well ? and even talking about want to create more raids Whitmore bosses and want to make it as a normal raid as well as we know from game like WOW …..but creating NEW map for your PVP game mode call Outpost Rush that is way too difficult and way too much to ask for ? even speak about it it is a way too much to handle…..and when you are speaking about just a little it sounds like you're playing a different game that we are playing like like when you guys was talking about after you are changing the PvP even more Heavy and Medium Armor Bruiser a fighting around the objective ? but in reality 99 percent of the players that are playing opr is Light Armour assassin ? sorry to say but it's pretty obvious that you guys are not playing your own game -.-……..perhaps it's time for us to just accept your main goal is pve content ? and I agree it's much more easier to balance Pve but at least don't hide it anymore make it public…..at this point anything just anything would be a good content if you add something to pvp but hurry up the player numbers is flowing down at midday there is 588 active players on my server pumping something and around 35 to 40 is queuing OPR so I don't know man perhaps the right words is for it we are down bad

  11. I honestly got to the end game and found it boring overall. The game started to feel like a chore. Now you're telling me you're going to probably remove ward gear. What is the incentive to grind out ward gear to play end-game content when all the work will be lost. The world feels small.

  12. I worked hard as a Tank to get all my Ward sets to 625 with proper perks… and now they remove it…I am displeased with this… the effort and time spent to be a proper tank for mutations and then they jerk the rug out from under you. Bye bye New World for me if they do this… I am Expedition One… also I bought a bunch of gear slots to quick change ward sets in the middle of expeditions.. which sounds as if I won't need anymore.. may I return my gear slots for a refund? This is horrible for those players that did the grind to build full kits.

  13. Clicking on this video was a mistake. I always hate seeing the direction the combat of this amazing game takes. There is nothing else like the combat, unbalanced and currently horrible to play as it is, it is still the best. I can go on and on about my views however at the end of the day you'll never listen to anything other than the praise that people give.
    If by some miracle you do want some real feedback on the game, I'll always provide it.

  14. Why did you guys reduce the drop rate for golden scarabs. It’s a complete waste of time to open every possible Elite chest in Brim and get zero or 1 scarab per day.

    There’s no incentive for brim world tours or acid chests anymore.

  15. I hate the idea of removing ward and bane. To me, they are only doing this because not enough people do mutations anymore, and the ones that do are just bad players.

  16. For all the bash this team has received from the community, my hat's still off for you guys out of respect for actually listening on the feedback – no matter how negative it is and actually take it like a champ and trying to address them. I've quit new world last year, but I'm still, from time to time like to receive news and watch this channel, hoping things get better for the game. I really like the game, even with its flaws but my limit came during the burst era meta. I just hope you guys finally find the balance and I will keep on looking out for the changes you guys will make. If I find it enticing, who knows, I might comeback together with other people I know as well.

    Kudos to your team Scot, Katy and David – I hope the best for you and your team to make NW what it is supposed to be.

  18. How do you justify your paycheque after making a game that's technologically behind the original release of World of Warcraft nearly 20 years ago in 2004? Considering you need to instance outdoor world arenas, and the Gurubashi arena was out on release, new world doesn't have swimming, mounts, and is the combat for almost every weapon is clunker than Pubg or Tarkov the day they were released. Like the game is still in 2002 Alpha and still hasn't fixed problem you were given solutions for in day 1 feedback.

  19. New World is another stupid game that does not have their bare as a game. Hardly any content or gossip and only combat that ends in a month. What a waste of our time that only has strong graphics with animation failure and crossings of the two that give glitches. Has other unissued problems and barely a business. What this company has chosen of style of commitment is lacking and bad.

  20. At the end of the commentary (Balance of Power) – it was mentioned by Katy that FL home owners would get a full refund on a house owned there. Is the refund the full value of the house – or what the player paid for the house? If only the amount that was paid – a "First Time Home" purchaser will now have to cough up additional gold (from 5k to 12k gold) to buy house of the same tier somewhere else. Please elaborate what is meant by "full" refund. Thanks.

  21. In F L .. what will happen with the status achieved? Will it be distributed in a city that is not at 300? Will it be a gray area and will that status be lost? If it is lost .. they should let that xp take it to a desired area. to be able to select the points to choose again
