COMMUNITY QUESTION: Where would you take Azoth next from a gameplay perspective?
I'd like to see more ways to spend azoth. Speaking of alchemy, maybe being able to use azoth as an ingredient for some staple potions we all use frequently.
Maybe have a little store were you can spend Azoth for like some weapon skins or armor skins or something
Love your game
Have you considered harnessing the power of Azoth to #freeboh from the grips of Yggdrasil? Its been over 8 days his character has been lost from the server merger.
From all the ideas of videos you could make you chose this one. I guess the whole comunity was wondering about the history of azoth 🤦🤣
Get rid of fast travel, pls , its a fkn cancer
If the people of Aeternum don't age, how do they procreate? Is it possible? Since those infants won't be growing up, they'd still be toddlers.
These empty ramblings are making me lose faith and sense of direction in this game. 😢 trying to explain meaning into something that nobody has given a fuck about since this game came out. #pvplivesmatter
I love the background they use. Empty cubes. Almost like no one is working haha. Feels like it explains the state of the game. Just kidding, but kinda not. I love NW, but it really doesn't feel like the game is getting better. So many friends I make just quit and never come back.
Well I mean, you already have the time idea baked in with unstuck. I know it's not practical in an MMO, but it would be cool to see something time mage style.
I don't remember seeing the RPG gaming convention of resurrection tied so well into the game's lore as you have done. I have always liked that about New World.
You could drink the azoth for a stat boost, also you should be able to put the azoth into bottles and store it instead of losing it, like the bottles of suspended asoth, maybe the arcanist station can do that.
I'm loving this game even though I only have 1k hours. 🙂
Azoth to recustomized character . As a magical thingy that allows people to change how they look and want to look like . Put some lore to it.
i think the game should do their own take on atlantis. a whole zone underwater using azoth as its lifeblood made by the ancients to create a hospitable area that sunk after their disappearance with humans fighting half humans that have evolved in darkness exposed to pure azoth for hundreds of years on the forgotten streets.
Why are the devs still "guessing" at what Azoth is in the lore, more than a year after the game is "released"??? O_o
HEY AMAZON GAMES FIX YOUR SERVERS, since we get no help on the forums for the lagging issues I live in missouri, both your servers in USA east and west are well over 200 ping and a friend of mine lives in alabama both servers till well over 200 ping, please fix the damn issues with latency and lag on the servers its getting old and you are no help on your forums just basic dumb troubleshooting our own machines. many of us with different hardware with good internet speeds are having these issues PLEASE FOCUS AND FIX THESE ISSUES!!!!!
Even though server AP is located in Australia, we SEA players have been waiting for a SEA server for a very long time, but Amazon doesn't seem to care. We cannot thrive during a period of conflict. Additionally, the SEA side currently has more players than Australia. If Amazon launches the SEA server, I am confident that players from this region will visit and participate. due to the fact that individuals in this area will benefit from conflict, as well as from PVP on the side of the road, which is greatly lacking on this Australian server.
Can we have more than 4 POTIONS slot please ? i will pay ALL THE AZOTH IN THE WORLD to get at least 5 slot 🙂 ! 🙂 ! : ) !!!!!!
Love your team and what yall do! I have one question at the moment – Can the Worm in Brimestone Sands be activated without the "1st time in Brim Worm event?"
I would like it if azoth had more impact in the production of future equipment.
What if there were different degrees of purity.
At the beginning of the game it was special when someone had mastered a profession. Now anyone can do anything. I would like it if you could only master a maximum of two professions and it was harder to master them.
I was thinking that like Amazon (From the A to the Z because all the kind of products you can find there), Azoth was just that (From the A to the Z of gaming stuff you will find there.)
The fact that in 10 minutes the lead game designer could not answer the question "What is azoth?" shows that there is zero vision for the game. A lead game designer should have been able to tell us in one or two sentences. Something like "Azoth is the core force of positive energy in the word as a counter balance to the negative force of corruption." Instead we got 10 minutes of how a cool picture that someone drew made us imagine things that we still really can't put our finger on.
Ya'll need to figure this stuff out, write it down and build the world around it so that its consistent. If you build the world around solid systems, it will be very satisfying for the players to figure them out.
Didnt realise we were going down into the world when we teleport… kind of would help if you saw that visually, like keep what you got currently then have the blue go up, then come smashing down into the teleporter. That would then visually represent what you said in this episode.
