New World MMO

[Raumarik]

I wish it was like Daoc, I really really wish it was like Daoc. But sadly, it was not to be.

nothing will be tbh, although depending on the community NW might still be fun. SAIC pvp took a while to tweak, it was pretty dire in alpha/beta and only really flourished months after release in the USA.

not sure the devs will listen or have the flexibility to make the changes necessary though, doubtful.

Played an hour, got to level 5 and will leave it there.

Had fun, will keep my preorder but don't wanna get too far to have to do it all again.

Hope to get to play with an ocuk NW guild.

I wouldn't mind giving it a go but being a Linux user there ain't much love due to EAC. Hopefully valve can get that working too through proton one day.

I've pumped 35hours into the beta so far

 

[Frubeling]

What world is everyone playing on then?

Not that it matters right now because of course when I want to play everything is under maintenance

 

[unwashed potato!]

slaekk is the world i play on. should be another 1.5 hours or so until servers are back

Absolute mad man! Not bothered about having to replay it all?

Good way to see the higher content that is currently present I guess, I saw a few max level characters on the server I'm on, running about slaughtering folks in pvp

Yeah you should get a few days of activity before it goes stone cold dead.

Nope not at all, trying lots of different weapons and figuring out crafting etc.

Fair point, I am tempted to go back to it but I wanna experience all the stuff fresh if that makes sense? Probably puts me at a disadvantage come release though.

Played 3 hours of the beta and gotta say this really isn't for me.

What about it isn't for you? I'm curious as I'm interested but haven't played it yet.

I think it's a sensible approach if you are in it for enjoyment.

22 hours here and lvl 24. Going to stop here I think and wait for release. Don’t wanna burn out early

The combat is pretty poor and the quests uninteresting
I can see that the game is banking on things like the economy and territory control systems being the main draws, but those just aren't things I care about. Who knows, perhaps it gets better after the first few hours but I can't be bothered to slog through it

territory control systems being the main draws

Regarding the PvP, I've said this a few times in various places, they really need to make seperate PvP servers where the PvP flag is always on when you are outside of towns because right now I can already predict what will happen, the same thing we have seen in other MMOs with a flagging mechanic, once the players keep getting ganked repeatedly (or they become the lesser faction overall) they will simply stop flagging for PvP and the amount of PvP happening will diminish, which will then cause those seeking PvP to become bored and move on. Its what we saw once Ultima Online added in a land where you could avoid the PvP, players just went there instead of the PvP areas, you only have to compare the world pvp on something like WoW on servers where you can flag the pvp off in comparison to servers where you are always flagged. There will obviously be exceptions to that, people who run with the pvp flag on all the time but if past MMO history is anything to go by I can foresee the majority of players simply leaving the flag off so that they dont have the "hassle" of being ganked, a generalisation maybe but wolves tend to like to hunt sheep not other wolves. We'll see what happens but I'm not convinced that it will deliver the PvP experience that many want, unless they add in no-flag pvp servers. Its just that in my experiences if you give people a way to avoid PvP, the majority will elect to avoid it, at least until they outnumber the enemy at which point they all suddenly turn on their pvp flags

Already happened to me.

I leave the town and 20 seconds later someone wants to fight for no reason. Happened 5 times in a row that I have disabled it now.

I just want to kill some turkey and some 25+ level player kills me before I even have a chance.

Why I don't get it. I don't get extra xp while I'm flagged, at least that might encourage me. Extra 10 percent xp for all tasks while pvp enabled. But nothing so it's gone odd

Did not like it at all really is not my cup of tea , i have played wow from the 1st beta think am too suck in my old ways

Plenty of players just attack you on sight as well. I wasn't even flagged and everyone I passed started trying to burst me down
