Why did this game get such a crappy review score?

    I suspect that your chart is wrong.  It is highlighting numbers from two weeks in the future.

    Lol Steam projects forward also .. you ever use Steam ?lol.. It does not change the Facts now does it .. Actually thought you were smarter than that .. hmph go figure..:)
     Fixed  so as not to confuse anyone .. LMFAO
    Projections of the future are not facts.  If you want to cite facts, then site actual facts of historical numbers.
    The "fact" is Steam is predicting lower player numbers in the future, pretty clear to me.

    Wonder how long it will be until NWs number dip below EVE Online....say Feb or March maybe?

    "Why did this game get such a crappy review score?"
    Because it´'s the most inconsistent MMO I´'ve seen for a long time (and many people agree). There is absolutely no real story, plot or lore. It is a bad PvP Game and a even worse PvE Game. Everyone was able to get this info in the beta already and most ppl saw exactly this coming, what happens atm with NW.  It is a shame but Amazon totally screw it.

    HAHA! I stand corrected Lurk it is. English is not my native language so i do make some spelling mistakes from time to time.

    Criticism on the issues is valid. Population numbers dropping don't lie. If the game was fun pop would not drop.

    I find attacks and insults to the devs to be idiotic though. Making an MMO (or any large development project) is inherently risky and complex, I would like to see all those idiots throwing insults try something as complex.

    The entire point of good management is to take complex tasks and break them down into smaller non complex tasks.  If this isn't happening then this is the start of the problem.  Its not as if 1 dev is doing all this on their own.  These people should be specialized and experienced to do the job day in day out so that they are not recreating the wheel.

    What you say is complex should just be another day at the office for the proper team.  Its not different than designing buildings, airplanes, cars, running a hospital or so many other seemly complex jobs that run just fine day to day.

    Sure if you hire Fred living in a box on the corner to do your Brain Surgery then sure its going to seem real complex.  But a competent professional is just going to do the job like clockwork.

    Yeah, whenever I find myself being overly critical on Devs I have to ask myself if I really could do any better operating in their environment.

    Answer is probably not. Creating a successful new game is a crapshoot, so many variables outside of any one person's control.

    No matter how well you make something, will anyone really like it, who can say.

    Yeah it was impressive. Impressive for a show based on a game IP but also overall. I kept expecting the plot to go to predictable places and it just didn't... ever.

    I think this is a fair point.
    It is always good to pull back on the judgement thing.

    That said, my criticism of New World isn't because they tried something new and nobody really cared for it.   The criticism is that they repeated well known mistakes from the past and appeared to have missed obvious QA points.  It is the 'noob developer' problems that generated the most heat.

    Would you launch a game without serious attention to duplication bugs?
    Would you attempt a full loot open world PvP game with vertical progression?

    How can a developer be shocked by noobs getting slaughtered on the beach?
    That is almost weird.


    Well I agree, NWs devs have been surprisingly obtuse in terms of repeating the sins of the past, which is why I suggested perhaps the bulk of them really haven't played MMORPGS all that much, particularly those in charge of making the final design decisions.

    Seems to me that they recently understood that being too obtuse doesn't work...
    The change to the Expertise system prove that at least for the moment.

    Let's hope it's just not too late... which I don't believe yet. The game has still a healthy population for now, and people WILL come back (including some haters/trolls here) when they release a major content upgrade with new areas/dungeons/pvp.

    I'm with Brainy on this one - I fail to see how merging servers fixes the game.

    It seems to me that if you rob 50% of the player base of their territories there is a good chance you'll lose 50% of your player base.

    There's no "robbing" since they are refunded.

    I didn't see any posts yet about people being satisfied of being on a low pop server and being basically "kings of nothing".

    no idea, I'm having a lot of fun.  From what I read by posts, the reviews usually get poor reviews from the community, so I don't really pay too much attention to them.
