New World September Update – BRIMSTONE SANDS!

by



At the extremely kind invitation of Amazon Games, I was able to attend a behind closed doors first look and hands on event related to New World!

I was able to learn what New World has been up too, what they have planned, and to talk to the Creative Director himself about the game in a One on One interview.

This is the first in a series of videos detailing EVERYTHING I learned and you need to know, and why you should seriously give New World another look soon!

N.B – This is NOT A SPONSORED VIDEO, all my opinions are my own.

  2. If there is one thing to learn from World of Warcraft, it's do not increase your level cap. If you do, your world shrinks. You want your world to get bigger with new expansions and content not smaller. So never increase the level cap. You can of course increase the Gear Score. You can of course increase trade skills, weapon skills, attributes, M10-M15 etc, but not the level cap. As soon as you do, you end up causing a lot of issues for yourselves as well as making everyone focus on that new level 70 content and all ignoring the older expeditions because well, they're useless and pointless now. So best to keep adding new expeditions, world events, raids, etc all at the same level cap you originally had, 60. The world will grow. You can always toss in new armour and weapons and stat combos and variations to older expeditions too.

  5. What is the reason for us to go into this new map other then to see and never go back again? Current endgame is inside an instance: dungeons or wars. There is absolutely no reason to go out there in the map…
    White maps should be 100% PvP maps, where you compete for resources. You could even add a world boss to these maps so players have an actual reason to go there and fight/play.
    Quests & lore are really not enough to be honest. Sure exploring is fun, but only until you find out everything in the map, which should be in a couple of days really… afterwards what is there to keep us engaged if not to compete for resources or bosses etc?

  6. Firstly, sorry for the times i call it Brimstone STANDS…ugh i swear i have to train myself to stop that slip up.

    Secondly this is the first of four vids. On Wednesday an overview of the new player experience will drop, Thurs will be ALL about the GREATSWORD, and Friday is a deeper dive into Brimstone Sands new area! 🔥

  8. Great video, well edited and well thought out.

    I doubt I'll be returning. Literally nothing in terms of PVP updates. No new OPR maps, no changes to how wars work… still the same bland fight for 3 flags then fight for single flag.

    IMO wars need buildings and other interesting things to fight over. If you capture the Siege factory your team can use siege weapons. If you fight over the Escape tunnel your team has new points of entry into the Fort. If you fight over the Barracks your team gets a damage buff…add anything other than throw bodies onto a 15m radius circle and see who AOEs the hardest.

    No new healing weapon? Life staff is incredibly dull now and it is quite literally the only true healing weapon in the game.

    This game needs a lot more work before I will be returning and even then other MMOs might already be released such as Ashes of Creation or Riot Games MMO.

  11. 1:40 the queues were the main reason I never gave this a try, figuring there was no point if I couldn't actually get in. By the time the capacity issue was resolved I was looking at other games and New World had fallen of my radar

  12. I was all pumped and excited, installed NW again and jumped back in, an hour later, uninstalled with a big sigh and left the game again. Maybe next big updte in 2023.

    Great video though, many thanks.

  15. These reworked locations are really a nice touch! I personally like it when certain regions traverse in time and not stick with their launch design.
    Might give it a chance with the friends again.
