Amazon Have Just Killed New World...Again 

Been meaning to do this for a while. Appreciate all your coverage/videos on New World. I have found them helpful. Know it can be hard as a content creator when the game you are covering is struggling.

AGS milked New World. They do not care about the PC player base.

AGS effortlessly turning the "Dead Game" meme into reality.

The big surprise after 6 months was them ignoring us again.

Played since launch, I have 5 lvl 65 char's all geared across several servers. Waited for the announcement and then, sadly, uninstalled.....

RIP new world 2021-2024 🙏

The cut scenes look like they were downgraded from good to Claymation

No trust in the lotro mmo. They got 0 clue how to develop content.

This game had so much potential 1.1k hours and I got my money's worth, haven't played since 2022 but still held on hope Man they really had something special and let it die like meemaw on life support

I really enjoyed the game and spent many good hours playing it. But that was too much. It's not bad marketing, they just lied to us! I've now quit so I won't be fooled any longer. I have an Ashes of Creation Alpha 2 key and will spend my time there.

Will the levels for crafting remain or will they raise it?

I can't believe people still actually have hope that more content will be revealed next week. Their words don't mean shit right now. They're liars. We'll have to wait until October to find out what we're really getting.

Jay, I apologize if this has been asked before. What is your interest level in World of Warcraft? Haven't seen you cover it so not sure if you are maybe not interested? MMORPG wise it feels like it is the one in the spotlight at the moment. Since they have all the different versions out right now. Cataclysm Classic, Pandaria Remix, War with in expansion etc. Just curious if you have any interest in covering content for it.

I wonder how much money it'll take for Shroud to stream his console play lol.

So no longer an mmo no longer give a shit...

When Scot Lane lied on stage at IGN about “there is loads of end game content” I hit the uninstall button.

It was over a few years back when they made it PvP preferred.

Its a complicated multi year toxic relationship with ags. But blatently they said were violating the pact of transparency and communication, and in return we promise a huge announcement and your going to be pleased and suprised. They did not deliver. Simple.

did they change whole skill system or?!

Had no idea about the Romania studio. That makes a lot of sense. My prediction is console sales will be meh/decent but not enough to support the game long term. They move the studio over and it gets put in maintenance mode. I can't imagine Amazon has been making very much money from New World for quite a while. Most of their sales I would imagine came from the original launch of the game.

My biggest detraction - and why i stopped playing - pre-launch you could build your own towns entirely, then they took away farming and went to instanced housing. This change totally lost my interest.

Crazy how well made new world is and this happens. The audio, pvp combat and open world were done so well initially. Something only skilled devs can do.

When we getting the JayOddity, Baggins, and Tricktrick group video?!?!?!?

as of right now there are 4000 players on NW. its dead

The biggest issue making me angry is no fucking content until October when there is nothing to do since november 2023 !!

This is so sad I'm speechless 😪😪😪

They should add stratagems with air strikes, cross with marvel skins and add PTW battle pass rewards and the will transform into their final form.

what's a good MMO to play?

Okay i've been wanting to play another MMO for a while, is there a modern good one?

Amazon needs to move onto Throne and Liberty, NOW

this is the same team that will work on the new the lord of the ring game LOL.... another game they're going to kill.

When greed meets cluelessness - this is the story of New World. Now get some popcorn and lean back...

to be more accurate, nw currently has over 150 bugs in the live game, some are in there since day 1 launch. Source: miicrow video

thanks for all the updates you gave throughout the years

is a fresh start confirmed on 15th of october ? thats pretty much the only point playing this game lol

Game officially over

great content @jay. my thoughts? 1milion players x 40.00£ per game = move team to Romania. Game is off then flash it down the toilet and let it drain on the Romanians. Amazon quality, as good as it gets.

After 1800 hours in the game, since the June 5.2.0 update, it hard crashes, freezes my whole PC after a minute in game. Have to power off. RTX 20270 8GB / i7. Tried reinstalling, latest drivers, clearing shader caches, at all video settings to low.

Great video bro.

There is nothing in sight that is going to bring players back to the game. Even the pvp zone and 10 man trial is not going to be enough for most players that want to play but are waiting for a reason to come back.

3 years, 1 OPR map 💀

Force Gaming thumbnails, nice.

I was beyond hyped for New World and waited, impatiently, for it to release. I loved it through the launch and through the first year, waiting and knowing how good it could be, I gave the devs plenty of good faith. But my gosh dude they completely blew through it quickly after that and it just blows to see where the game has been since then. I love New World and it could be such an incredible game if they would just DO SHIT WITH IT. Like sometimes I get on and wonder how they even got it finished in any reasonable timeframe with how slow and horrible the updates are, it honestly doesn't even feel like the same team is who made it is who works on it anymore.

Console is a good move I agree. I just wish they never hyped us up for a big announcement. Would have been fine without the hype. Maybe missing an opr map

RIP - good to take a break and vote with our money/time!

AGS had the goose that laid golden eggs, but chose to 💀 and eat it.

Love your content Jay.

Played since beta and thinking back the game was so much fun. It has just run its course for our group with nothing new to do for sooo long. Now to figure our what that new thing is 😢

I love the fact that is says pre-beta like cmon they cant even give the pc community that much.. We tested the game for three years

Talking about beeing ignored .... I cant login to the game for 4 weeks now due a Bug. They cant fix it so they told me to look on Discord from time to time because they will release fix notes there ... at same point^^

Hey Jay, I like you as a creator, I hope you move to something that I am interested in like Ashes of Creation on Once Human. Pax Dei sounds WAY too grindy for me.

They didnt even thank the PC players for doing their job and beta testing their console game. Just threw everyone under the bus and gave themselves a pat on the back.

As a one of the believers im just speechles they just lied to our face like its nothing and if you play this game from now on you got no spine.

Man...this game had sooo much promise

They could literally just add Daggers and PC players would *glug glug* AGS.

Is this even really an update? We already have the slayer script, msq updates etc, like what is there actually coming? This is insanity. If these are the same devs making a LotR mmo I hope they move New Wolrd to the new studio post haste.

Ty for the video, Dad ❤

I personally think this was the best decision: to aim 100% at the massive potential new players on console, and presenting it without the history. Also the switch to soloing is smart, as studies show that the mahjority of MMO players play mainly solo. I have often jumped in and out of NW, and this is the first time I feel enthousiastic about it.

Wake me up when they discover a real storage system and a UI designed for by humans for humans using a pc

is it a crossplay?

It's time to tell AGS to listen to the PC gamers now, or we WILL do our own marketing campaign to DESTROY the game for the Console Launch.

They can do console launch and new content and even be brilliant but till they fix desync issues it will not help much. While desync is this big an issue rankings will be useless, ranged weapons will never get balanced right and players will remain frustrated.

I don't think many of us on console were clamoring for a new world release ... Don't know that they're going to get the massive surge in popularity they expect. I remember when the game came out. It didn't interest me then it doesn't really interest me that much now. The fact that it's available on console where I play most of my games doesn't really change that much ... But who knows I might be completely wrong. In general, a cross-play PVP game doesn't strike my fancy as a console player. Why the hell would I want to be at a disadvantage? There's a reason why ESO is not cross play between PC and console. There's a reason why so many games that have cross play allow for disabling that feature within console.

They can survive on the people left. They won't ever quit lol

I hope it goes well for the game for the sake of the content creators of New World.

People just want Throne and Liberty

Crossplay is prob the most lucrative thing in gaming if we talk about money, but it have almsot cause alot of problems like bugs&glitch content problems with server stabilty i go on and talk about it for prob an hour pro/cons but nvm, seems like new world is the last game that should go this way with it´s history of 10k bugs and glitches/exploits/cheating/dupping :). I am a big fan of not only games like this mmo/rpg am fps player at hearth br games is my love to not only mmo/rpg but my exp when crossplay first enter the market the cheating sky rocking with toxic kids and more ore less bad games with mem leaks from hell. That's my honest that and exp about the subject and tnx for keep uploading nw content/news you´r a shamp togather with duke.

Someone dropped the ball over there at ags. The people that were loyal were the pc gamers. Also the horrible communication. Should be addressed this wasn't a announcement for the current players it was for new players.

Despite all of its short falls, I loved Funcom's Secret World. New World reminded me a lot of Secret World. For awhile I was convinced Amazon must have used Secret World ideas and simplified them. Secret World had many flaws but I thought it was superior in imagination, puzzles and story. Secret World relaunched itself in 2017 as Secret World Legends. I did the update, logged into Secret World Legends. It was clunky. They made the combat into action - combat. The magic was gone. I worry this is what will happen when New World "Aeternum" launches.

Went baxk to GW2...still after all these years, its a solid MMO

I quit right before the expac and im actually cautiously optimistic. If the game dropped with the current content it would have done a lot better retention wise, so i think console release will do well. I also want to check out the pvp island, reminds me of rs wilderness. It also makes sense why theyve focused entirely on console marketing, its potentially a lot of players while the pc is definitively not

It looks more like a cartoon. Man I really liked new world. Now even on Maramma there is a very low player count. This server used to be poppin now I can’t even do a mutated expedition

You know it’s bad when Jay and his lisp get involved

New Worlds fan base has been ridiculously patient with AGS. I came back for the expansion and a couple days later as a casual I had already reached max level and had done the things that were there for me. That expansion was terrible imo, especially for a paid expansion, yet people hung in there and kept waiting and waiting (as they had for years) for them to fix all the issues. I hate seeing it, as a concept it could be an amazing game in the right hands but AGS does not seem to really give much of a shit about the community

Issue is not console but that NW devs prefer to focus on content that can be forgotten in a week or two every 4-6 months. There is no end-game content and they have already received suggestions but decided for a short-term content that it hurt new players because no one wants to sit again for 100 times to get an artifact from a max lv elite mob.

That game finally just got to grindy to me. Not enough nodes and they never fully got rid of the Bots. The PvP wasn’t bad though. I thought the artifacts were kinda stupid as well.

MMO "Massively Multiplayer Online" means common folk on equalish playing field, not end game no lifes one hitting you in pvp. Access to more people = Good? maybe I'm wrong. What do ya'll think?

If New World gets included with the Xbox game pass, it can live on in Aeternum. Look up the definition of Aeternum.

You ever play WoW?

What a damned shame. Such an awesome game so screwed up by mismanagement. I just wanna play!

Man I did love the game when It came out. Yet it just died so fast with massive people bailing :( Lost so many Friends that left I left back last Spring just could not come back now moved on and went to Nightingale

If console is a big success, the whole game benefits from more support. So hopefully they somehow manage to find an audience. Seems unlikely though.

I paid for the game, I enjoyed many hours, and then I moved on. I may even come back if they launch fresh start servers since I managed to not burn myself out on it. I think we all expect too much.

From needs to make Souls the MMO where theres an online version onto the main game could be done with elden ring where bosses respawn that would be better than new world.

DUDE- move on to another game already, so many other ones to cover! all the best;)

Honestly, If I can get to do solo dungeon, I might come back as the stupid group member are a reason why stopped playing.

After what AGS did a lot of us are probably not going to touch the LOTR MMO. Meanwhile they're choking T&L and NCSOft needs to get their heads out of their arses and realize AGS is literally destroying their IP.

I dnt care about expeditions or pvp. I just want more event bosses. There's too much time between open world events 😢 Wish they were rolling every week...

I understand why players are upset and it’s valid. However. There comes a point where I hope those planning on sticking around will get on board and move forward with us. Btw, I’m hoping for optional console only servers. Some console players would opt for joint to play with friends, plus I think with sharding things will feel much busier for all. (I read a rumour of cross platform being opt in - hope that’s true so I can opt out)

Excellent roundup of whats been going on. This really is lackluster, too little too late offering obviously designed to capture a new audience, whith no respect for the patience existing players have given them. I stopped playing a while ago but even I was a little excited to see what they might have coming, but I'm just apethetic at this point, it's not even fun to see them fail anymore.

If only they used a good engine

RIP New World, Hello PAX DEI !!

Once human is where im going to next that game looks great so far!!

From a console launch stand point there will be a lot of content. Because the pc players have been playing it for years getting it ready. TBH... Ags should give the expansion for free to all pc players who don't have it. And fix the combat, buttons not responding or not queuing, is absolute pants.

RIP NW 😢

It's frustrating to see Amazon Game Studios treating loyal PC gamers like this. But from a business standpoint, it seems they made the announcement before Summer Game Fest to build hype among pc gamers. They couldn't focus on adding more content as they were busy fixing the game for console release. This should reassure PC gamers that future investments from console gamers will allow for more content development, as the focus shifts from fixing the game to expanding its features.

New World is so friggen dead... they need to shut down the remaining servers PERMANENTLY! ITS OVER!

The gameplay footage they showed was some of the worst footage they could show. It shows they don't get the game, let alone love it

I've said it before. I feel used. I always enjoyed your videos
