This is more of an "update" instead of an "expansion" when it comes to terms regarding other MMOs. The price line for this "expansion" is the same price people payed for the base game at release.
i dont get why folks complaining bout the 30 dollas.. i mean, that like ordering pizza for me n my girl. or a variety of freetime or fun cost. to pay 30 bucks for 1000's of hours of fun is a great deal. also do the people expect the whole company and devs to be paid off the price of the base game, Yrs ago.. but they r supposed to work, and bring new stuff as well.. cmon folks.. cent per Hour fun it is more then a great deal. lmao
I bought New World I believe it was 2 or 3 years before the release. I have been playing New World since the last Alpha they had where they made the change from the game being a survival MMO to a more RPG style MMO that it is today. My biggest issues with this paid DLC is that up until the Launch of the game the Dev's were adamant about you never having to pay to play their content. fast forward to now. Lets be real here for a minute. The player base has dropped off dramatically much more then anyone could have predicted. It still has major issues with aim botters in OPR's as well as Bots running around and claiming the resources that people work so hard to get in order to level trade skills. While the Dev's are attempting to address most of these issue they have fallen short on a number of occasions now on top of all that they have decided to lock people out completely from their new content, Nevermind the fact that they game was supposed to launch with over 30 weapons which we are by no means even close to having in the game. I think the majority of the player base that isn't brainwashed by AGS has come to realize that New Worlds paid dlc is nothing more then a cash grab to make money off of this slowly dying game while they focus on the LOTR title which will be using the New World engine. Which is why we are not getting a new zone but a rework of a previous zone that already existed in the game. a rework that you will now have to pay for to make the zone relevant to you. I would have no problems paying for this dlc had the Dev's not been so adamant on the player base never having to pay for content pre release let alone content that we already had access to that they decided to rework and put a price tag on lol.
The fact that people are crying about a 30 dollar expansion on a mmo with no sub and this about of content and systems is literally insane lmao. I feel similar about Destiny players… it’s like wow you guys really are just unreasonable
People also need to understand, that for the $29.99 you're not only buying Season3. You're also paying for Season4, Season5 etc. Until the next expansion.
Honestly I expect more and desire more. For $30 I want several of new zones, more than just one new weapon (daggers, wands, crossbow, celestial gauntlet etc) and more character customization (hairstyles, faces, jewelry, facepaint ETC). With the increasing character level I would've liked to see more power to my core character than just stats. Maybe an extra ability slot for my weapons and increase level to my weapon max with new skills added to my skill tree, maybe even a third skill tree entirely. New added PVP content like "battlegrounds" or different PvP content that isn't outpost rush or world PVP. I just don't feel like we aren't getting enough.
I think the biggest issue with the expansion is that it may not go far enough to draw in new players beyond the game's current base. Outside of PvP there isn't a whole lot of group content (1 raid boss, 10? expeditions). My hope was this expansion would make New World more competitive + comparable to other MMOs when it comes to PvE. But their new fashion system is heavily monetized. Their housing system is still basic. The MSQ is "almost" complete. The mounts look cool, but they are being added 17 years since the Burning Crusade expansion for WoW introduced flying mounts to MMOs. I think it will be a fun zone, just like Brimstone, but that's it. Let's just hope the influences changes are enough to galvanize the PvP community.
weve been going through 2 years of constant backtracking,bugs etc and now they trying to fix NW by revamping the systems that they been trying to fix for 2 years that ontop of only having 1 reworked zone no actual new zone no PvP content.30€ is a reasonable pricetag but the amount of content we are getting is not worth to be called an expansion, there HAS to be more zones,raids,OPR maps,worldbosses(not copy pasta turkeylon) etc. weve been cutting slack for AGS for the past 2 years when the first "BIG" expansion is coming 1 reworked zone and mounts aint cutting it
the problem is, if you look really objectively at what we are getting in this expansion. mounts a new dungeon and a new weapon. everything else is an overhaul of things that are part of the base game.
Great idea rework all 13 current zone with a new life and you want to be in evresingel zone has a purpose. Would be amazing if Amazon game studio and new world develpor. Do thath with care and amezment of evresingel zone in game. Do it with expansion and only expansion and not subsribsen payment. because has a recent to improve game money. Player come back and Amazon game studio and new world dev get paid. Every get wath they want.
New Expansion does not bring mass pvp or pve content in open world to make factions or companies meaningful to make players to play each other to interact with each other instead of SOLO gameplay and 3 or 5 people premade gameplay to do 3vs3 or OPR or dungeons mainly with their premade group… New Expansion is just solving a small part of the some of the existent problems, nothing more… Why do I need mount now while I almost can teleport to every corner of the map without problem… Every patch just turns into more grind and more p2w via illegal gold buying and the actual official p2w options which are added at every new patch… However, there is no word about many of other major problems ruin the gameplay of majority of players, and still no word from AGS whether they are going to fix them or not and when really (it is almost 2 years already)?
Season requires money, transmog, expansion, gear slot, season quests and so manyh other subjects requires lots of money that you need to pay at every new season and new expansion etc.
EU region servers are dead, 5k-7k active players at peak times even after every new patch. The game is monopolized by territory owning guilds which make million of gold every week from each territory by owning 3-4 by a single guild that thy dominate the trade post items and many other subjects. %95 of players even cannot join fortress siege and invasions. We are typing the same things over and over again as they are tons of problems…
After expansion, the new patch – thy increase the system requirements of New World too so if your PC is not good, it will be harder for many players. Instead of optimizing the game to get better FPS, AGS is now saying to get better graphic card like 4090 etc if you want better FPS when thy apply DLSS 3.5 or FSR 3, but still AGS does not improve the game coding etc so much but increasing the system requirements… Azoth Engine even cannot handle 40-100 fights at the same area as latency becomes very high and FPS drops so hard…
its not even about the money… 30 bucks for a DLC is normal and no one cares about that.. its about paying to get dicked around again and continue to have a game that is buggy with garbage performance and latency.
Trick has a good point. First Light was a dead territory. But completely reworking it, AGS breathed new life into it. It's a harder approach to what they did with Everfall and Monarch's Bluff, even though that alone may not have made everyone visit those regions more, it was enough for the main story, which is fine.
i normally would say $30 is not bad for an expansion as there is no sub, but new world has been consistently putting in more and more money grabbing tactics. first it was seasons, then loadouts, then transmog tokens. Whats next? Comparing its money model to wow is bad they are known to have the worst monetization tactics out there
How much is AGS paying you all to promote this game… I have played since beta, top crafter know more about the game then you all but I was smart enough to leave the game, you really push this game like it effects your pocket……. Just don't know how people support a game in this state how you support AGS with what could be the most bugs in any game out there and yet they dont fix it.. The update I refuse to call it an expansion will bring back some people but this game is going down hill fast unless they actually start listening to the players END OF STORY.
It is a better business decision to make it a paid expansion.
It grabs attention, everybody will hear about new world. I bet most of those players wont initially desire to pay for the expansion. But they will hear from friends or youtube if its good or not, and we know already how the game has improved so much already.
So it could bring in the players, by adding a price tag you've set an expectation: "this will be worth the money" unlike brimstone which was a free update.
I've been waiting for trapper rework since forever as a bleed spear trapper musket player this is music to my ears. Sniping is boring so I hope they won't do anything ridiculous for that side of the tree. I'd love it if they removed zoom.
We associate a new zone with a new experience. Elysian Wilds is so different from Fist Light that it is a new experience. It technically is a new zone .It is just in the place of an old one.GW2 has done this with the living story. A whole town got destroyed and rebuilt along with zones. WoW did the same in Cata with the old zones having different biomes. As long as its new content and a new experience who care about its geographic location. Besides complaining wont make them take it away. Don't play it if you don't like it.
end of the day, game should have released with mounts, its basic as fuck. Every mmo has them from the get go, common sense. Its still a buggy mess. if they do not try to bring the player base back with a leap of faith by offering the expansion for free, they will not have anyone to spend money in their cash shops and it will only keep declining.
What would you reccomend fora returning level 60 with mostly maxed proffesions to do now and until the expansion goes live? I dont have any ward gear or stuff like that so grinding dungeons for that or trying to bump expertise which also will be removed seems to be a bit pointless. My expertise is mostly 620 on everything and almost all weapons are max leveled.
Is there anything specific I should do or just get familiar with the game again, grind money and/or do crafting?
18:00, to gain full access to transmog in NW it costs the same amount as 4 decades of wow subscription, or 67,5 years of grinding your weekly token. This may change, well I hope at least. But you pay for what you get I guess. And NW has been lacking in content since day 1. I'm buying the expansion in the hopes that they will be able to release more content faster, because at this snail pace the game will just die in between seasons. 18:50 you can buy gold in New World too, it's called the Territory Standing Booster just get to 300 with 50% tax reduction and print money by flipping buy orders.
You really can't compare WoW to NW because WoW has so much more content than NW does currently, so the price is somewhat justified to be subscription based. Until NW has that type of content, it really is not comparable.
Is this available in audio only anywhere?
i will come back when they add more to the map and the pop comes back.
pay to wiin

If you can’t afford 30$ video game probably shouldn’t be a concern. Maybe getting a job and focusing on real life should be a focus instead
15:29 cod isnt like that anymore lol
The fact that people are crying about a 30 dollar expansion on a mmo with no sub and this about of content and systems is literally insane lmao. I feel similar about Destiny players… it’s like wow you guys really are just unreasonable
Already dismantled 4 storages of gear and weapons. Felt good. Bring on s3
I thought they said daggers werent the next weapon
I'm a simple man, I see a pink haired dude, I hit that do not recommend option.
People also need to understand, that for the $29.99 you're not only buying Season3. You're also paying for Season4, Season5 etc. Until the next expansion.
The pro move is to let people play the expansion for 24 hours for free besides the ptr. Give them a taste.

I'd like to take at least one of my current 625 GS items up to 700GS. For sentimental reasons. 🙂
DEAD GAME.
Trick has a good point. First Light was a dead territory. But completely reworking it, AGS breathed new life into it. It's a harder approach to what they did with Everfall and Monarch's Bluff, even though that alone may not have made everyone visit those regions more, it was enough for the main story, which is fine.
Personally I’m fine with the expansion but they should make new zones more. Don’t be changing lower level zones since not every player is lvl 60.
i normally would say $30 is not bad for an expansion as there is no sub, but new world has been consistently putting in more and more money grabbing tactics. first it was seasons, then loadouts, then transmog tokens.

A new podcast episode. I thought this day would never come.

Anyone know what's gonna happen with the daily legendary crafting materials like Asmodeun, Runic Leather, etc? Will they be obsolete now?
We associate a new zone with a new experience. Elysian Wilds is so different from Fist Light that it is a new experience.

im good for 30USD expansion in guild wars 2 the mount expansion is 30usd also first day
I hope they add the ability to change your appearance in the NEAR future!

Your a good duo! 🙂 Was enjoyable, thanks!
I’m not sure what to farm lol I’m max in everything
First light had THE BEST iron route ever
18:00, to gain full access to transmog in NW it costs the same amount as 4 decades of wow subscription, or 67,5 years of grinding your weekly token.
This may change, well I hope at least. But you pay for what you get I guess. And NW has been lacking in content since day 1.
I'm buying the expansion in the hopes that they will be able to release more content faster, because at this snail pace the game will just die in between seasons.
18:50 you can buy gold in New World too, it's called the Territory Standing Booster just get to 300 with 50% tax reduction and print money by flipping buy orders.
30 euro is CHEAP for all the content that is in the expansion 🙂
buff muskets and i will quit the game.
You really can't compare WoW to NW because WoW has so much more content than NW does currently, so the price is somewhat justified to be subscription based. Until NW has that type of content, it really is not comparable.
$30 for month of experience
Awesome video, very entertaining and informative podcast.
