COMMUNITY QUESTION: What sandwurm mechanics do you enjoy? What do you want to see in future 20 player content?
were is DMG MATEEERSSSS ????
Maybe fix the massive butterflies in Gen when frames aren't capped first?
Great to hear the thought process behind things and to know that the feedback has been acknowledged, as always thanks for the transparency! I hope we'll get another test phase on PTR to try these changes and make sure everything works as intended!
For a player that already have a close to BiS armor piece of every ward, and BiS PvP armor, I feel like the sandwurm rewards are really disappointing. Where is the 1/100 furniture piece and transmog? Why doesn’t the sandwurm drop one of the items needed to craft ultimate trophies? For me the sandwurm just seems like a waste of time. I’ll probably just do the hatchery instead because it’s a limited event, and wait for sandwurm until season 3 when I can invest in BiS beast gear.
What I would like to see from future raids:
Raids that have multiple bosses, layouts and trash mobs. Even if it’s something like re-using ECR zones and repackaging them as raids (I’d bump the level of the enemies to 70-71, make them skull enemies so we can’t CC them, etc.), I think it would be enjoyable and you have multiple ECR locations that you can use as raids in a separate instance (imperial palace, siren, myrkgard are app great locations that clearly look like they were possibly at one point being used for a raid).
Rewards: if it was me, I’d experiment with drops in raids and giving either exclusive perks on drops or having PVE only perks on drops (y’all have PvP perks already in the game, I’m assuming the same could be done for PVE exclusive perks.). A PVE perk I think would be cool is something like “warhammer shockwave has a 10% chance of spawning 2 additional shockwaves near the player or something cool like that. We need some legendary gear that people will grind to get, something that give bragging rights and a big goal for PVE players. This is a good opportunity to do that.
I love how they make this videos, it's really an honest, direct and clear way to talk to the community and show that they care about details <3
I will say the new narrative is really intriguing. If they can match the story and lore with gameplay this game is on the rise to be a very quality MMO
I’ll do it a couple of times like any event, the rewards will determine if and how many times I come back to it
maravilloso, seguid así. gracias por los esfuerzos. Una cosa. Podríais poner en los inventarios y almacenes la opción de ORDENAR POR TIPO, es decir todas la espadas juntas, hachas juntas y demás objetos. Como algo principal, aparte el orden que ya existe dentro de dicha opción. Gracias.
Easy Easy Easy
please add double dagger weapon 🥲😭
Did I miss something in this video ? where is your answer to the biggest concern about then new content we are getting ? Nothing about how trash and useless the rewards are ? You know what I can relate this to.. you think gamers are like those people doing a minimum wage dead end job with no future and no real vision or progress in life. You keep dropping raid and dungeons and mutations and all this stuff but FOR WHAT !!! I mean am I the only one who doesn't see the point in all this ? I mean forget about a end game, what do you even get by doing this boss encounter(its not a raid btw) Why would players even be interested in getting any of those rewards? no good for pvp or pve and it is supposed to be the end game content ? How are you guys so delusional not reading all the PTR feedback and just making your own kind of video where the first 5 minutes is explaining the lore of the sandworm!! I mean this is just so unbelievable!!
I think people were expecting to see the sandwurm in the open desert of brimstone, seeing only the head feels boring 😐. What if one of the mechanics was to grab a acid buff that makes you run fast to out run this huge monster. When i think Sandwurm i think that its too humongous to face it.
👍
It looked good!
10-15k concurrent players, YIKES.
Multiboss raids. All of them hard in different ways. and rewards that are in check with hard content. Some form of last stand mechanic where you have to kill the last 10% health within a set amount of time or there will be a super attack hitting most of the raid members, resulting in a loss. Or high chance of loss.
For the next upcoming 20 player trial i hope for elite trash with mechanics and reset when the group wipe.
More bosse in on trial with many mechanics.
Amazing as always NW Devs! Thank you for giving me 1000 hours of enjoyment!
It looked like a pretty good fight from what I saw, cant wait to see it on the official servers ♪
He did not answer jack all to the question. It was an impressive rambling for minutes about absolutely nothing. In the end he answered what did you learn with yes we learned a lot because more players.
I would like multi boss raids. The hatchery and the sandworm should be combined in the same raid, and maybe another boss in between. I also think there should be different difficulties. Tuning a singel boss so that everyone is happy is an almost impossible task imo.
No one care guys. Please nerf light armor, balance all armor and weapons and make pvp fun again.
Let people create their builds with their desired perks and make rewards better, even umbral shards by doing only pvp.
And don't worry, no one will leave the game for getting things fast, on the contrary, you will keep players base longer because they will be actually enjoying the game and playing and trying different builds.
Don't be scare to give this step, because of not doing it, you are every day more and more close to shutting down.
is PAtricks dad John Smedley?
A real raid when ?
Sandworm looks as basic as it could possibly look. It's super boring. The fact you put it inside of a fort and it never moves form it's location is a huge fall. Haven't seen Scott Lane recently, hopefully he's been let go. This game need a manager redirection immediately to save it. 8k players and falling.
I hope they incorporate mounts in future raids or similar content. Would be fun to be able to fight on a mount, even if its a specific weapon to use on during the content while on horse back. And chasing the enemy down after a specific % of health, much like a Monster Hunter chase could be exciting!
Fix housing. Ban cheaters. You are not doing a good job.
Will season 2 finally fix the bug that started in December 16th, 2022. This was the day that salvaging crafted 595+ jewelry stop returning asmodeum. Also 2022 Winter convergence event pattern only return repair parts when salvaging. The 2021 Winter Event patterns return proper materials for salvaging 595+ GS items not just repair parts. This was considered a bug per the Devs and assumed the fix was going to happen months ago from a patch note before season 1 started. Now the 2023 springtime bloom event patterns also only return repair part as well. If this is intentional to not return then use proper communication channels and tell us.
The only answers I've recieve was "I will let the dev team know" yet no proper feedback which is annoying.
Yes I have submitted countless ingame feedback and utilize the AGS bug email and provided videos I uploaded to YouTube.
What this has caused is me having to buy T4 houses to load them up to 5k lbs then abandon the homes and lose access to those storages. It is nice to get the 10k back for selling the home but then I essentially lose 10k each time I do this because of FOMO on materials returned. I have done this at least 6 times.
Your crafting (gambling) system is a big morale killer, I've provided easy fixes above but in reality notes submitted to the dev seems like codeword into the paper shredder. I remember in the glorious forums we actually got feedback from what the devs said in return to our question. 0.01 star out of 10 for the PR staff. Please communicate, literally that's all I'm asking for and probably fellow other gamers but I'm just speaking from my standpoint
Awesome video as always. I have one really exciting question to ask. Is there a possibility that you guys will introduce flying enemies in the future? This could greatly introduce more range weapons into the group composition.
I just wish void blade was viable for something. Such a cool but completely outclassed weapon in every single way. But seriously their dps is last place, heals, last place.
LONDON 🟣🌙
Bestie when you adding photo mode
First of all, this is no raid..it is boss arena with mechs. Secondly, its boring mechs, way to easy im sorry but it is too easy, please have a look at other sucessful mmo raids like come on!!!! just take a look at it!.
And stop giving us trash rewards when that gear rewards are going to be obselete soon like what is the point bro.
DO SOMETHING BETTER DEVS.. LOOK AT THE PLAYER BASE NUMBER
PS; THIS IS POKEMON DIGGLET BOSS..ONLY HEAD.. dissapointed
"Exciting" word abuse.
get rid stupid ward gear
Is Patrick Smedley related to John Smedley (former president Daybreak, current General Manager Amazon Games)?
Make a partnership with DUNE and get us some worm pets and some Fremen apparel. Good job guys
I want to see longer raids, and not just boss fights. Also, please make every weapon/class viable in end game pve content. Mages are still in difficult spot in PVE end game, and usually won't be selected to groups…
Why is it so difficult for them to come up with a decent raid? Raids have been inMMOs for the past 20 years.

Yall still playing this crap game!??!?? My god lmao….
This team is the baddest shit in Gaming History…
U guys have to talk about cheater because cheater destroy OPRs so fcking hard with speedhack and aimbot
I have one thing that has not been said yet… that man is terrible at public speaking if I took a shot every time he said uhhhhh I would be dead from alcohol poisoning
5K hrs. Done with the game.
I´ll play now and then a couple hrs but I have understood that there is no way to have fun, like a game you actually enjoy consistently for what it is. It is extremely annoying in some aspects, especially PvP.
You want ez OPR? Just make a group and stomp on all the randies. You can even pretend you are actually good.
Then, IF you manage to get some of those people that will not play without advantage to a low hp, guess what? they have a boyfriend behind to get them to full hp PLUS other 2 or 3 minions coming straight at you for defying their premeditated advantage lmao. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. If you are a weak scared person then maybe this is the game for you, just find a male gang bang group and voila, you will kick ass in this game. Easy, no sweat and you will simply not die, its even boring tbh. I prefer solo than the stupid group for opr 100%.
NW is not worth your time at this point. Trust me.
BAN KOEKSALBABA CHEATER FROM AARU. THE WHOLE SERVER IS REPORTING HIM DAYLIE. SO CRINGE THAT U DONT BAN HIM LIFETIME!
