Only good in a small group, unless you have strong AoE while in a zerg. Did a few rifts in a large group (20+) and never got credit for any of them.
Really? Unless I'm solo I've never had a problem. And I've ran with some pretty large groups. Hell, the Restless one was probably 2-30 people, and I was one of only two healers (which was kind of a hilarious shit show...I was actually the only healer for a while, and watching everyone stack on my single heal was funny as hell). Still for credit though, and I don't believe healing counts towards anything.

I've heard lots of people talking about Amrine for exp. Seems bizarre to me that one of the best ways to level at end game is the very first dungeon.

Our guild did the 25 ones (they are all still mid 20s and low 30s), we had 2 groups plus whatever stragglers tagged along and I got 3/4 level 44, not sure how many we did bout it was about a hour.

Only correcting you to help - you have key elements you have to hit in each rift. The tentacle is obvious, hit the tentacle. The one with the breakable doors, hit any door and hit the boss. The orb is shitty cause you have to get a hit in on it before it dies, though Ive still gotten credit at times for hitting it while its being channeled. The ring event is shitty for time, because you have several waves - which really all you have to do is hit things in it and the boss. The Major rift is the same as the ring event. If you do the channeling to end the event on any of these, you get credit. If you dont do these things, you're not going to get credit for it. I think healers get credit differently, but I could be wrong on that - never played one. I miss credit for one or two when there are 20+ people in the horde, but overall its fantastic exp. I'd arrange a group to do them if we were all in a similar level range, but I suppose the level 35 ones would still be "ok" exp even at Lasch and my Levels.

I'm pretty sure my server is being invaded by bots. Gold seller messages are starting to pop up and the queue for my server has been getting nuts at night - like bigger queues than Shroud's server. What the fuck

If your game isn't older than dirt or doesn't IP ban from China and Russia, this is the result of ALL "modern" MMOs.

I've yet to play an MMO released in the last decade that wasn't infested with bots within 30 days.

Nice thing about this game, at least in chat, if someone spams gold, they are gone within seconds with the automated ban thing and 100s of people reporting. Also for normal players cash is worthless in this game. Maybe if youre a guild leadership type or whatever, but so far I have not found much use for gold other than maybe buying an item here and there. (maybe buying up mats?) But even so like I said, im way further ahead on my server than the masses so I cannot find too many items on market 420+GS. Not sure why but I try to sell all my good rolled blues on AH and most sell for 75-150 gold. I have about 13K on hand and I even funded my guild 3K a few days ago to take a city.

I think Asmon did a great job summing this game up just now. "It's like when you're hungry and go to the fridge and don't want to do any work and there's an old frozen pizza that you can microwave. It tastes like shit, but there's nothing else and so you just eat it. That's New World."

I don't generally even look at the town board because those quests are so shit. But I will pick up 3 faction ones to knock out since they're usually kill quests where the others are.
Bit of a mistake actually. Board is an easy way to gain favor which btw you need to be a pretty high level with a town to get a house, especially a good house. A lot of the times I'll do the acquire quests and just buy shit off the auction house and trade for the exp/faction boost, especially the cheap ones.

if you put the microwavable pizza in the oven directly on rack, it tastes way better and has a slight crunch to it.

Thats kind of where I am with the game. It could have better ingredients, but Im finding ways to enjoy it.

He's a fucking idiot. That's a terrible sum.

Edit: Ashes of Creation wins the frozen pizza award imo.

New World bringing that natural racism vibe. To think we spent all these years trying to educate society out of it and then you see how quickly it comes back out.

Got in a War last night. Was buggy as fuck pre-War with loading screens nonstop, then I was in the War for a few seconds, then loading screens for minutes again. When the actual War was < 1 minute I got in and was with everybody else. I was the last one out of our fort though because it failed to transport me and it took about 6 tries before it let me through.

Actual attack was just "Zerg A, Zerg B, Zerg C, break gate(s), and capture point." Took 9 minutes start to finish. As a Bowyer I just basically shot their healers and kept people off the parapets best I could. Died ONCE to a cannon direct hitting me for like 80% of my health. At the end if gives you a stat breakdown and the '"Top" leaderboard. I was 65th overall out of 90-100 people. 1 Kill 1 Death, 18 Assists and 30k Damage.

The best part was we took Everfall from the Purple who are literally 60-80% of our server. This meant the rest of the night the purple zerg rolled out attempting to do PVP quests to flip the zone quickly. We counter zerged and our team, Covenant, is much more competent apparently as we absolutely obliterated them sometimes 1 v 2 numberwise. All I can say is if you're going to fight in a huge clump, you better have a LOT of Sacred Ground.



There was a better Force v Force clip but can't find it. Just all of them charging together, getting Ice Gauntleted and Axed in place, then dying almost immediately.

Dam that actually looks pretty fun.

The war mechanic is pretty cool, although viable builds are pretty limited. You either need to be a literal tank, an AOE god, a heal god, or go full marksman with the zoom in feature to better snipe the cannoneers. It's really hard to snipe them without the zoom because you never get close enough. I mean, it's not impossible to ironsight, but it is very difficult.

Yeah I watched his stream the other night when I was surfing through channels on twitch when he was playing and the dude is a fucking ass. So him and probably his stupid followers decide to take on some world boss in some cave. Lv48 or some shit he was lv 46 or 47, forget what level but he was lower, there were like 3 others there not grouped up mind you, and kept getting spanked by this gargantuan fucking beast and hes just bitching the entire time "HOW COULD THEY THINK THIS WAS FUN?" just bitching about Amazon non stop. Its like go the fuck back to wow you faggot. I kept on thinking to myself, how could you think watching him play is fun, lol.

I know I have a bias because I like the game, but damn, this doude is a douche and sucks. I like him when hes bitching about blizzard and other such no0pnsense on his other channel when he just talks about playing rather than actually playing.
