Sometimes this is the best part of a game...

Despite what some say, this game is getting better. I'm happy with the direction we're going. I won't be surprised if, a year from now, NW gets a healthy return to the spotlight.

Can you tell us how the arena rewards compare to the old PvP rewards, specifically are they separate rewards or can you purchase the same items etc?

14k concurrent players atm. I dont think the game will ever return to popularity. Too many issues. I DO hope they keep trying.

The clock is ticking because we are going to have many new games coming out in the next 18 months that even if NW gets better it may not matter.

I played for 500 hours after launch and realized that root canal was a better option with my time.

See... posts like this I never understand. You played 500 hours? And it took that much time to realize that it was worse than a root canal?

But... is the update good different on the PTR?

Ignore the haters, honestly those who comment are just trolls imho. If they didn't care about the game, why would they be posting and paying this much attention to it. I personally enjoy the game, of course it's not perfect but no mmo was in it's first year... WoW included! I am happy to see they keep adding content and cleaning up the bugs... yes there are issues, and there will be more in the future, however the time and effort is really showing by the DEVs and there as been an uptick in active players in the past 30 days by 3.27%... it's a small trend, but it's going in the right direction. Of course the game will likely never see the numbers it had a launch... i am okay with that. My west coast server is full and the game still feels fun.

It doesn't take 500 hours to realize that. To put it in perspectie, that's essentially 8 hours per day for 3+ months.

It seems you wasted 500 hours, exhausted the content got angry and here we are.

I had a similar experience, though I really enjoyed my time with NW...well...until I didn't anymore. With these types of games the level-up gameplay loop will hook you, but when you get to the "end," you realize that next phase of the game is lacking or doesn't hold your interest.

Sure.. we all left for a reason or we would still be playing. But to go from 500 hours to "Worse than a root canal?" Nah... I do not think that's likely. Or maybe they never actually had a root canal.

You put 500 hours into ANYTHING.. you should just thank them for the fun when the time comes.

You can put your pronouns now? What In the fuck is going on in our world... it's truly insane to watch what is going on.

I'm playing again, after a hiatus because of reasons I've explained before, and the game is in a much better shape now, all activities are now enjoyable with less useless micro-management. There are many ways to earn gypsum no matter what your play style is.

This patch seems promising, the game needed more PvP activities and some PvP reward system. And expanding the Varangian Knight's story line is a great idea.

Oh, and the concurrent player peak on week ends is 26k, peaking over 35k after new patches, and not 14k like some troll (alt account of another troll ?) tries to make you believe. EvE online survives and expands with 30k concurrent players for years now.

Some people can't help being asses to people who enjoy things they don't, just ignore those. Bullies only have power if you give it to them, ignore them and they are nobody.

Actually the pronouns is a pretty cool idea. I remember years ago when games did not even have accessibility options like colorblind mode, etc... When WOW introduced it, those options made it so much easier for my wife who is visually impaired.

To see games now consider things like pronouns or such is really cool in my opinion. It may not mean a ton to a lot of people but it will mean a lot to some.

While we are at it let people be able to show if they have bipolar, ADHD, borderline and so on.

That's discrimination now that pronouns are in the game, then there should be room for similar options.

I play video games as my job, I stream video games . I put full effort into a game before i pass judgement. 500 hours is nothing to me for a huge MMO.

The remaining few will have fun with pronouns...now they are truly at rock bottom...nothing says immersion like pronouns

And it's supposed to be pseudo-historical (despite backpedaling from being a bit more historical because "spanish evil", according to some ignorant and perpetually offended folks). Sure, let's add something that appeared in the 21st century. I'm looking forward to seeing how that helps them with player retention rates.

user298 · May 2022

It's both sad and amusing to read that the only major "improvement" Amazon bothered to do for PvP is add instanced 3v3 arenas... The type of gameplay already offered by billions of existing "small team" PvP games.

What about for a small empty MMO like New World?

I came back as well and transferred to Camelot. I am really enjoying myself.

I would be willing to give it another shot if the player movement is a little tighter.

At the free weekend, my player character was sliding around on the ground in a weird manner that made running around the world feel weird and sluggish. Has this gotten better after that weekend Korrigan?
