New World

I always liked how you would farm the world bosses, and there is a shit ton of them, for some random purps. Those always sold well back then. I would find one and farm the area for a few hours. Reminded me of EQ.

TThe combat was really good too. At least I enjoyed it. I played a tank at end game and I really liked the whole block thing they had going on.

Anyway I was {} this close to firing this shit up today, had it all downloaded and all that but the thought of the grind made me not, lol.

Just think of all that iron ore you'll need to max out every single tier

That's what I'm saying. I already did the full grind on a couple of different servers ( Valhalla was my Main ). I dread doing that shit again. Plus, all the Bots make getting enough coin to afford anything a real fucking chore-- gold buyers make sure the price of shit on the auction is sky high. Also, it's got the new, shiny feel... we'll see how populated the servers are in a month.

Enjoy the ride (although two full grinds if you were maxxing everything for crafting, YMMV) and let the month take care of itself. I am having a post-migraine day today so I thought no new JRPG, let me start a new character for this: Of all the game knowledge I have forgotten, I can still do the old New World beach in from memory without issue. And other than not dropping all the weapons here, and not being able to craft them, the changes don't seem that big. Its not the first part of the game that needed changes, in any event. It was late/end game and the economy that I remember being busted when I played last, my character still at 50 without a server now due to the mergers. I did love skilling up all the weapons, and changing my builds around and trying something new for a while on the same character until I found something I liked. Sadly it doesn't seemed they made the economy any more Eve-like, nor is it readily apparent at this early stage ( I am only level 17/18? Still doing quests in Monarch Bluffs). what exactly they did change. Game is fun for now, will play more, I liked it.

Started new character on Rosa since I saw someone above was on Rosa, don't know if there is critical mass for a FOH company. I will be lonering it up, think the character name is Mhoral? will check to confirm.

What they needed to do was streamline the gathering and crafting, did they ever do that?

So uh, 3 years after this game originally launched, would you guys say it's finally in release state? I mean it clearly launched in an alpha state back in 2021 and we all said it needed at least another year to cook but time fucking flies I guess, I could of sworn this shit launched last year lol


Have any of you reached the end game yet in this new version to see if any of the actual problems were fixed? The low levels were never the issue. It doesn't sound like they've fixed one of the biggest issues that being server capacity/design. I mean a 4.5k player cap is better than a 2.5k player cap but it doesn't really solve the underlying issues of having such a low cap on players spread out all over the place? Does it still primarily have 50 man caps to node wars?

At least you can run dungeons over and over without those stupid orb things. THAT was a fucking mistake at release. But a year later they changed it so at least you can farm those.

Also WOW had huge sprawling dungeons at release, not comparable to these New World ones. Plus they quickly added Maraudon and MC. Its been 3 fucking years for this game and they have very little from the sounds of it. they also had 3 PvP battlegrounds, one of was 40vs 40 pvpe. With shit to grind in all of them. World PvP was also a thing in the beginning in WOW, they never figured out how to do this in this game. There was some, yeah if you wanted to flip a city, but all that shit disappeared once 2 guilds controlled the server.
