😢 anybody else waiting for expansion update
Played since beta but not the last 6 months as endgame is lacking and lack of pvp updates,
The expansion will make or break this game,
I hope you guys deliver 🙏
Where is GodSem statue
I have skipped every cut scene in this game, have no idea what story is about and cannot care less. Instead I care a lot when in the evening I want to hop in for one expedition and it takes 20 min to find lobby cos of gear level and difficulty difference
Expansion – give us something, anything!
Thought I was going to hate this…… was actually very eye opening and inciteful. Person in the cap was the BIS commentator.
Ps. Can we get some info on season 3 😅.
Hi can you give us practice wars? Would be great to be able to set those up so guilds could get better & have fun without it being gatekept
U guys need way more of those cinematics and all the other series u got going.
Like the one about all the enemy factions.
Telling story by that and bring back isabella would go looong way <3
U should also add a option to watch them whenever we want ^^.
Love the feel u get.
I love the 2.5D cutscenes, the art style in particular is really good. I would love see one getting more details about the backstory of the more important characters like Thorpe or Yonas. I also would like to see full 3d cinematics for big events like the expansion.
The cut scene everyone wants is the history of voidbent armour.

So…. transmog is soon then? Otherwise what's the point of that clip in the last few seconds
Guys – THE CAMERA has a few hot pixels and it's very distracting watching on a OLED because I'm checking my OLED for hot pixels! 🙂
Season 3 info/demo's when?
I would love 2.5D cinematics as a quest dialog for MSQ
As an illustrastor myself, I really like to see this kind complementary storytelling through beautiful illustrations. Well done!
Venla venla pls
As another artist, I absolutely LOVE them, I'm so glad the game is using them, everytime I get to see one I get so excited! makes the whole story get a lot more weight and importance imo.
arreglen los bug, muchos no pueden conectar al juego o tienen que intentarlo muchas veces hasta poder conectar
Link all trade posts across all servers!
Love the animated cinematics! Keep yup the good work 😊
I think Major content updates like Expansions and Seasons should have highly detailed CGI cinematic trailers and the questing should have the illustrated cinematics as far as subjects for possible future illustrated cinematics I would like to see some exploring the lore of the player factions and the Soul Wardens especially Yonas and what exactly happened to him and his fellow Soul Wardens.
I would totally love to see more 2.5D cinematics when you complete an expedition for the first time (and then, like, have an interactable lore piece to rewatch it again), in order to get an idea of what was that boss that you fought, their goals, their lore, etc. (Something similar to how Tempet's Heart ending cinematic)
Hey Devs great Video, I would like to know where the Ancients come from?
I love these cinematics, but I often rush through quests and pay little attention to them when I first see them. I wish there was a cinematics tab in the journal where you can watch all the cinematics you've encountered.
Can we see more 3d cinematic in main story or key invents? In fact we have only 3d cgi game trailer. This is “game comix” not cinematic, but they lock perfect. Do it at least for expansion.
You should upload all of the cinematics from the game to your YouTube channel.
FIX OPR LAG ROLL BACK "PERFORMANCE PATCH" GAME DOESNT EVEN LAUNCH STOP EVADING QUESTIONS ABOUT GEAR RESET
This discussion was fantastic. The Lula's eloquence, with no surprise as a writer, offers such a deep-dive into the process and emotion. The artistry in the game beautifully conveys the punctuated points of events and characters that should be envied by other gaming studios. Excellent work!
It is an absolute shame that our older characters cannot do the brightwood/weavers fen questline after the changes. Everyone is missing out on these illustrated cinematics. Please allow us to re-do those quests if we had already completed it so everyone can enjoy these. Thanks!
Im sorry, but no illustrated Cinematic will ever surpass the game's intro Cinematic where Thorpe and Father Russo talk and the ship arriving to Aeternum. That should've been the norm when it comes to cutscenes. If we needed to have Illustrated cutscenes, they should've been left for small things.
I love the cinematics but please fix the lagg in large groups really off-putting playing the game doing ecrs or being in a large town
Maybe a new world serie/anime?
Allow is to watch all cut scenes from main menu / Corsica library or journal
I absolutely love new world cinematic art. Im happy to see more to come
We need to fix the optimization for lag I have a RTX 3050 and get 35-50 fps in the city. And it’s been jittery outside of town as well.
fire staff sucks, no fun to play against. anyone who plays it should be ashamed of themselves. Please do something about flame thrower.
Your cinematics are very good and gives personality to your game. Keep em going
Someone should really make some vids about the story of New World. Its hard to keep track of it imo . Im really interested in the whole lore, history, characters ,… Of Aeternum. But i just can't find a source that explains it. Maybe somebody else found a source of this kind? Ty!
Can we Get a play list on yt with all the cinematics to rewatch them?
love the art style, would love to have something similar on the backstory of commander thorpe
Great work everyone, I really enjoy these as well! I need to see if I've missed any while getting wrapped up in the day to day of Aeternum!
It's time to rollback the 2.0.2 performance patch. The desync in OPR is unbearable and these maintnance restarts is not helping at all.
Need more cinematic like you guys have in the opening of the game with…false advertising showing it in the start of the game and to expect more in the game but nope ….. lazy still cartoon images cinematic …. draw that crap in 10 mins
after patch game unplayeble with insane lags
The game NEEDS in game cut scenes or at least a few CGI cut scenes to help the players connect to the story better. The 2.5d maybe "pretty" but its disconnecting.
I'd like to ask why you still not able to bann koeksal babas other accounts named: monyan and tomris h. Instead peoples messages get deleted and they get a timeout. Even when they have proof bcs of a stream they made. People stop playing because of him but you dont care at all. Good Job at failing banning the one guy who get reported 24/7 by people but no one cares 🙂
