So you’re telling me pc players were baiting into waiting until June for an announcement and then now we have to wait till October 15th to get even more of nothing the community wanted? Are you guys trolling? Like is this some fucked april fools or what?
Even October release is fuck all for pc players. They deserve that the console release is a complete fail and nobody buys the game. What a joke this video is
Not exactly. Firstof all, last year you were sold an Angry Earth expansion with a "year of future content" that either was delayed, or never happened xD And that roadmap is still getting pushed
I know you're unhappy, and you should be, but acting like the things coming in that patch aren't things people were asking for is insane😂 A true raid, pvp zone, swimming and optimization were probably in the top 10 most requested things for this game
@@propersod2390 Swimming and a true raid and pvp zone were not the most requested stuff. You are just yapping right now. Its been on 3 years with no OPR map, no other type of game mode for pvp. The games main playerbase is not focused or caring about swimming and raids. Its why the game has like 2-4k pop in NA for a reason.
Would much rather them do this than give us a buggy patch of rushed content like they've been doing. When this patch hits its going to completely change the game it will be worth the wait.
Sorry Bro - in case you were out, they mentioned a couple of updates ago that they were set to announce stuff in the spring, but AMAZON told them they had to wait. Like any other contractors they serve at the pleasure of their employer and they had to hold off on it.
Scot Lane EXPLICITLY TOLD US we would get the roadmap in June in the February dev video. Now we're not getting it until October, and for /2025/ not /2024/. That was COMPLETELY glossed over. The announcement was also told to be FOR US when we're getting basically ZERO new content. Nothing but lies. Holy crap.
i mean this was the road map right here, no updates till october and then we have all of the new stuff coming. plus seasonal events. that's it. probalby not a good roadmap, but it's a roadmap.
@@Alex-e1u7v I said "basically zero new content", which is objectively true. The expansion was very lackluster on content. The months leading up to it also were. Brimstone Sands is the last time we had a relatively major content drop. This is the smallest "big" drop to date.
*📢 A Comprehensive Insider's Review of New World’s Upcoming Changes* Hello, New World Community! I am writing to you from the safety of anonymity, using a dummy account to protect my identity. I have been involved with New World for nearly a year now, not just as a player but as a member of Amazon Game Studios’ (AGS) “Experts Group.” My purpose in this post is to share crucial insights and deep concerns about the state of the game and the upcoming changes, which I feel have been mishandled and misunderstood. *🎮 My Background with New World* Before diving into the nitty-gritty, let me provide some context about my involvement: - *Dedicated Player*: I have clocked nearly 8,000 hours in New World, despite taking a significant break of four months. My commitment to the game is not just about playing but understanding its intricacies deeply. - *Part of the Experts Group*: I was recruited last year to offer specialized advice to the development team. Initially, this group comprised various media personalities from Twitch and RU-vid, many of whom have since departed. Unlike them, I am not a public figure; my focus is purely on the game’s mechanics and potential. *🏗 The State of Development* From my first day in the Experts Group, I saw New World’s enormous potential. Unfortunately, despite our dedicated feedback, AGS has struggled to incorporate valuable advice into the game’s development process. This has led to a series of broken promises and a game that often feels more like an ongoing beta test than a finished product. *Major Development Issues* 1. *Too Many Decision-Makers, No Clear Leadership*: - The development team suffers from a lack of cohesive direction. With too many "cooks" but no "chef" to guide them, the development process is chaotic and disjointed. - Multiple builds are being developed simultaneously, leading to poor version control and recurring bugs. 2. *Poor Integration of Feedback*: - Despite the concerted efforts of the Experts Group to provide detailed and constructive feedback, our advice is often dismissed or ignored. The typical response is that it’s "too late" to implement our suggestions. - This disconnect between the advisory team and the core developers has led to frustration and a sense of futility among those of us who are deeply invested in the game’s success. 3. *Broken Promises and Unrealized Potential*: - AGS has a history of making grand promises about upcoming features and improvements. However, the execution often falls short, resulting in features that are either drastically different from what was promised or completely underwhelming. - For example, features like the much-anticipated gear sets have been in contention for months, yet they remain in a nebulous state with no clear implementation in sight. *📣 Recent Announcements: What Wasn’t Said* The recent announcement video aimed at console players left many PC players feeling neglected. Key details were omitted, creating more questions than answers. Here’s a deeper look into what’s actually coming and what it means for the community. *🔍 In-Depth Analysis: Upcoming PvP Island Update* One of the most significant updates on the horizon is the introduction of a new PvP island. Here’s what you need to know: *Core Features of the PvP Island* 1. *Automatic PvP Flagging*: - Upon entering the island, players are automatically flagged for PvP. There’s no option to opt-out, making the entire area a high-risk zone. - This feature is designed to create a constant state of alertness and challenge, but it also alienates players who prefer cooperative or solo play without the threat of PvP encounters. 2. *Tent Placement Restrictions*: - Players are unable to place tents within the island’s boundaries. This restriction forces players to find alternative ways to manage their respawn points. - While some players have devised creative workarounds, the developers seem indifferent to these exploits. 3. *Solo Play Mandate*: - Grouping is disabled on the island. This means players must fend for themselves, which drastically changes the dynamic of team-based strategies and undermines the role of support classes, particularly healers. - Despite repeated feedback highlighting these issues, the development team remains convinced that this restriction will enhance the PvP experience. 4. *Difficult Exits*: - Leaving the island is intentionally challenging. The exit area is a hotspot for ambushes, especially from players equipped with muskets who can easily pick off those attempting to leave. - The risk of exiting adds a layer of tension but also promotes toxic behavior where groups can dominate the exit routes, creating a frustrating experience for others. 5. *Resource Collection and New Currency*: - While the island does not introduce new raw materials, existing nodes yield significantly higher amounts of resources. However, gathering these resources takes much longer, increasing the risk of being attacked during collection. - A new type of coin drops in the zone, used to purchase valuable items. There’s also a new token that drops exclusively from a large chest, which takes an agonizingly long time to open, making players vulnerable to attacks. 6. *Cursed Materials*: - Resources gathered on the island are “cursed” and unusable until they are taken off the island. This adds another layer of risk, as dying within the zone results in losing half of these materials. - The cursed materials concept is intriguing but also adds to the stress and potential frustration, especially given the difficulty in safely exiting the zone. 7. *Artifact and Quality of Life Changes*: - A few new artifacts are being introduced, though they are not particularly groundbreaking. - Some quality of life improvements are on the way, but these are mostly minor design tweaks rather than significant enhancements. 8. *Persistent and Game-Breaking Bugs*: - Despite repeated reporting of critical bugs by the Experts Group, many remain unaddressed. The development team often underestimates the impact of these issues, partly due to their limited engagement with the game. - For instance, the gear score scaling bug continues to persist, affecting gameplay balance and fairness. 9. *Crafting Overhaul*: - Crafting systems are set to change once again. My advice to players is to pause any major crafting activities and save their resources until the new system stabilizes. *🛠 Developer Disconnect: The Core of the Problem* One of the most significant issues plaguing New World’s development is the disconnect between the developers and the actual gameplay experience. Many developers spend minimal time in the game, leading to a lack of understanding of the practical implications of their design choices. *Key Disconnects:* - *Minimal Developer Engagement*: Most developers play the game for only an hour or two, which is insufficient to grasp the nuances and challenges faced by regular players. - *Ignored Expert Advice*: The consistent dismissal of feedback from the Experts Group has led to a growing sense of disillusionment among those who were brought on to help guide the game’s development. - *Failure to Address Core Issues*: Persistent bugs and fundamental design flaws remain unaddressed, undermining the game’s stability and player experience. *🌅 Hope on the Horizon?* Despite the myriad issues, there are still reasons to be cautiously optimistic. The game’s core mechanics have significant potential, and there are positive changes in the pipeline. However, given the track record of mismanagement and poor implementation, it’s difficult to be overly hopeful. *Positive Changes:* - *Potential for Improvement*: The game’s foundation is solid, and with the right direction and implementation, there’s a chance for significant improvement. - *Community Passion*: The player community remains passionate and engaged, providing a reservoir of support and feedback that, if properly harnessed, could drive meaningful change. *🗣 Open Forum: Let’s Talk* I’m here to answer any questions and provide further insights as long as it doesn’t compromise my anonymity. My goal is to foster a transparent and informed dialogue about New World’s future. Together, we can advocate for the changes needed to realize the game’s true potential. *Anonymous New World Enthusiast* --- Feel free to comment or ask questions below. Let’s work together to ensure New World becomes the game we know it can be.
New leveling experience... Updated leveling experience... We've changed the leveling experience... Yeah so, the MSQ and storyline have been revamped... Oh, and we're also getting a new leveling experience... Not to mention some thrilling leveling experience gameplay... Also, we've made a lot of changes, so you can expect the ultimate leveling experience... lmfao. What a damn joke! We waited 3 years to get a new leveling experience... Also, did I mention the MSQ and leveling experience has been changed?
3 years? The game came out in 2021 and is still by far the best MMO game out there. Idk what y’all expected for an update? They added lots of stuff and are bringing 2 new consoles to the game.
@@ragix9307 "3 years? The game came out in 2021" It's 2024. " the best MMO game out there" 5k players worldwide says otherwise. " Idk what y’all expected for an update? " Content would be nice. "They added lots of stuff" Yeah, stuff for new players, especially the new leveling experience. Did you know they revamped the solo aspect of the game? I hear the MSQ is updated too. Thrilling leveling experience.
why all these questions about people who dont own the dlc and 0 questions addressing the pvp community? Half of the questions were just repeats of the previous question
because this Q&A is fake. The questions are preselected and the 3 idiots at the table there knew all these questions beforehand. thats not a Q&A its a PR show
Optimization and bugfixes are going to be the content for PVP imo. It's going to feel really nice if the game runs smother and you can PVP without bugs. Also they're adding the matchmade 3v3 which could be pretty helpful. Pretty sure after they release this they're just going to start pumping out content too.
I feel like all of this mess could've been avoided by stating at the beginning of the year "Hey all, we here at AGS are preparing to launch New World on Console. Be on the lookout for the release info and what to expect when it releases, in June. In the meantime, we would like to focus our efforts on this launch and our plans around it to make it as good as it can be so we will not be releasing much until later this year. Thank you"
I can only speak for myself, but if they came out and just said they were aiming for a relaunch and needed time for console, QoL, and performance/bug fixes, I'd have totally understood, and probably actually looked forward to them bouncing back after a heads-down period.
Its better that they delay it until they release something that's completely polished and perfect IMO. Blizzard has done the same thing with many of their expansions and that's how they became successful. NW players want them to just pump out content but the reality is these changes need to happen first. This patch is going to be a really big deal IMO it's not going to feel like the sandworm scam.
Thanks for confirming that we will have absolutely fuck all to do until October 15th, you told us for 6 months to wait until June just to tell us to wait again until October 😂😂 I can’t bruh
o7...What about wars? OPR? PvP? Do you have anything on this? Or...will we just be playing the same OPR map as we move into year 4? Will players who have played since day one still not ever experience a war because there is no form of content to help them do practice wars or simulate the environment? While I applaud optimization, PvE, and single-player improvements, many of your core players come to New World for PvP because of the unique combat. The upper echelon of endgame PvP is war...but this has just never gotten any attention. Console release is huge, don't get me wrong. But, a lack of content is going to result in the same problem. You have shown time and time again throughout Brimstone/Fresh Start, Rise of the Angry Earth, etc. that you can bring back large waves of players. But if you don't focus on both sides of the game PvE and PvP, continue to update your game with one batch of "new" content every year, and continue to not be in touch with your audience, this will surely end up resulting in the exact same historical trend we have seen. It seems that some of these questions being asked are still out of touch with the community, and I am curious as to where they even came from. I love war and PvP, so I will continue to play and give this a chance, but we have held on for 3 years--I do not think we can all make it a 4th if this trend continues.
In their minds putting a war cooldown was the biggest shit to put more players in wars, what really happened was simply less wars over the time and I'm pretty sure they think that was a good decision to this day, what a joke. I did not see anyone new in wars because of this cooldown shit, I only saw new players joining wars because the old players were quitting the game, in the end of the day less wars = less players in wars and that's it. Back in the days (Pre-Brimstone) my server had a super healthy pvp community with 5+ different companies with almost no mercenaries fighting every day, after the cooldown update I got like 2 months with nearly no wars because of other companies were trying to deffend their territories from easier companies than us. AGS managed to fuck up all the shit and they still have no clue of what they done.
@@snowhitez681 And as time has passed, the players in warring companies continue to widen the skill gap between top companies and companies that have never warred. There will always be a skill gap in games, but in all other games there is a way to practice. For example, I can play unranked Valorant to learn the game and improve aim for ranked. In New World, there are OPR's and Arena, neither of which help improve players in a war environment IMO. We need ways for companies to do practice wars, or even have queueable content, similar to an OPR, where we do 50v50 war setting. Obviously there is more micro-management that happens with wars/companies. But even just giving players the opportunity to do something, like just play outside fort and capture 3 points, and the game ends, is far better for improvement than sitting there hitting a door that Bob the builder is working on in OPR. What is the point of wars if you don't even give the player base a chance to compete? Just wait until cross-platform PC vs. controller wars on fresh start...it will be a blood bath without ways to improve.
@@Jedi71 Factual...I'm planning to put on my resume that I have 3 years of industry QA experience at AGS. Hopefully, I can get a good recommendation from Scot.
0:41 you know it's gonna be a bad Community Q&A when they already dodged the very first question, the answer had nothing to do with the question lol!!!
I could hear this in jss's voice. If mockery-worthy things were food, this video would sustain her 'till the end of her days and also solve world hunger.
It's worth it. If new world can get a couple hundred thousand players its deff worth it. If this patch comes out and its perfectly polished and there's barely any bugs it's totally worth it.
Hey guys, go easy. AGS has a phenomenal dev team. All they need to work on is community management, implementing feedback, roadmap creation, following through on promises, not gaslighting their players, taking constructive criticism, writing clean code, fixing bugs, and making games.
Then why there's still people stealing my resources in popular spots, hunting rabbits in that dukesloth area video, doing chest runs to this day and actually still seeing people in the open world unlike the glorified raidlogging mmos where the open world is actually dead. NW is way more alive than wow
A lot easier to spot an idiot these days … Dukesloth uses pre recorded old videos of open world pvp or whatever random things he does… Delos at peak got like 400 players… stop rubbing Scott Lane’s dick, glazing on AGS much, bruv is an AGS paid actor it seems.
Told PC players to wait till June for content and news only to be told to wait for October xD. Also claim they want a clean release but cant even give us a clean patch wtf
A few videos ago, Scot was very clear that despite everyone begging for more OPR maps, they will not be doing this because it is not really what we all want. We don't really want that and if they did that we would not be happy (his words, not mine)
0:15 so you just admitted that none of this entire reveal was for us (your fan base), the PC players lmao💀💀 This video just shows that y'all really haven't learned a single thing about end game, gating Soul Trials to 3 a day just shows that you don't want people to play the game. It's just another quick daily that you do that feels rewarding during the 1st hour of playing, but after you are just playing the game with 0 progression and feels trash. There is nothing to grind solo, these solo trials could've been a nice grind with a low chance of giving some cosmetics or the deer mount from the tree trial but nahh.... Imagine if OSRS would gate entry to God Wars 3x a day lmao or WoW gate entry to lower dungeons so you can't spam/farm tmogs. It's just clear you guys don't know how to develop MMO's and that's why you market it as an Multiplayer Action RPG now. Such a shame, this game had potential.
@@Wild_Cat New Players (Console) will be placed on fresh start servers to ensure they can begin their journey on a level playing field, but can opt to join PC servers (no console player will do this). - AGS. This will do basically nothing to the PC players base my doggy.
@@VeNoMz_ playing console players on fresh new servers is smart, allowing them to be able to play with PC players if they want to is also smart. It's all relevant, more players the better for the game longevity.
@@TheSuchtitv This will 100% happening, October brings basically 0 content. A raid that doesn't have a puggable (learning difficulty) so only veterans will do it just like the Sandworm. Then we have the 3 a day Soul Trials which is 10 min of content and the Lawless zone (PVP Island) that will get camped by largest company on the server with muskets camping the only entrance/exit (right side of the island). I give it a month max.

Just reached the First Question and they instantly denied that it was for PC Players - Scott just dodged the Question and admitted basically that he lied to the PC players EDIT: no new Content till October, "wait for 2025 Roadmap" LMAO
L for just thinking about current players when it can be bigger as said alot of ppl don't even know what that is lmao just thinking of yourselves- learn to trust the process sheep
@jonnmonst3rr577 idk what you get by dikriding ags. But fact is that game is dying, 5-6k concurrent players, devs do nothing, devs lie, devs buy crowds on events like they did recently. If I would expect how things turn out, I wouldn't buy it to begin with. Preview event was best time I've had in NW. As soon as I reached 60 on release, I realized there's almost no endgame, you either farm one of couple dungeons, do lootruns that are boring af, or grind skills that take a lot of time and gold. Only good things about NW is leveling first time, visuals in some places and sound.
where's the new gun? Where are the new skills? Where's the new map? where are the new items? where are the new trophies? where is the new opr map? CONSOLE ONLY? Are you kidding me?
AG launches a much needed Q&A to address current player concerns... proceeds to spend 10 mins talking about the new player experience and ignores player concerns AG never disappoints at disappointing NW players

Many developers spend minimal time in the game, leading to a lack of understanding of the practical implications of their design choices. *Key Disconnects:* - *Minimal Developer Engagement*: Most developers play the game for only an hour or two, which is insufficient to grasp the nuances and challenges faced by regular players. - *Ignored Expert Advice*: The consistent dismissal of feedback from the Experts Group has led to a growing sense of disillusionment among those who were brought on to help guide the game’s development. - *Failure to Address Core Issues*: Persistent bugs and fundamental design flaws remain unaddressed, undermining the game’s stability and player experience. *🌅 Hope on the Horizon?* Despite the myriad issues, there are still reasons to be cautiously optimistic. The game’s core mechanics have significant potential, and there are positive changes in the pipeline. However, given the track record of mismanagement and poor implementation, it’s difficult to be overly hopeful. *Positive Changes:* - *Potential for Improvement*: The game’s foundation is solid, and with the right direction and implementation, there’s a chance for significant improvement. - *Community Passion*: The player community remains passionate and engaged, providing a reservoir of support and feedback that, if properly harnessed, could drive meaningful change. *🗣 Open Forum: Let’s Talk* I’m here to answer any questions and provide further insights as long as it doesn’t compromise my anonymity. My goal is to foster a transparent and informed dialogue about New World’s future. Together, we can advocate for the changes needed to realize the game’s true potential. *Anonymous New World Enthusiast* --- Feel free to comment or ask questions below. Let’s work together to ensure New World becomes the game we know it can be.
Please if you are a console player. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TRASH GAME. CHECK THE REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING IT. So true. Bruh i quit the game in 2022 why u all still keep playing a dead game 😂 under 25k have no sense to play that game. They do like this since launch. No one want to come back to this trash game. Just give up. The combat system can be cool 1000x but if the staff and team behind the game sucks there is no reason to put hope in it. Just give up guys. I have played 7k hours. I will never come back. I even buy the dlc and i didnt even play it(quit it again after 7 days or less). Everything sucks ahahaha whats the point to play a game where each update brings 3636x bugs 🤣🤣 or where they change the gamestyle and gameplay every 3months 😂😂 all ur grind gets always invalidate to make new player able to join the game. They care more about selling the game instead of grinding a fanbase and keep it. Do not fall anymore for their promise. Just drop the game like majority did! Gl to y'all.
You should go outside and touch grass. It's interesting to say that a game isn't worth it when you have 7k hours in it, which is practically a year lolololol.
i'm in somewhere between disappointment and love with the game. So i agree with both sides but your statement here is a huge gibberish which can actually persuade new console players to buy the game. They'll be like "whooaa that guy played 7000 hours, it must be an amazing game actually!"
@@fwdrummer Of course, I understand. I just found it funny. I don't support what they're doing with the game. I'm an old player; I've gone through all the phases and understand the frustration, and it's completely acceptable. It's just that from my point of view, I haven't decided to throw in the towel with the game yet. I think if they work well on it, it could turn out to be quite enjoyable, and if not, well, it was good while it lasted.
@GenX_GamerDad Yes, it's obvious that you can't buy the game without seeing how it will work, that's more than clear. My hands are tied, and I'll give it a try on launch day since I have all the content purchased lol.
maybe your right but you still have 7k hours playtime which is fking crazy. This game is cool but not for hardcore nonlife grinder, just do some pve pvp and play other games.
The fact that you admit to putting forth a message to NEW PLAYER base without ever fixing the way you do business with your existing player base speaks VOLUMES. You are done trying to do the right thing and simply using a cookie-cutter approach to sell the same stuff to a new player base that doesn't know any better. Console players need to be warned well prior to this release to stay away and make sure that this release fails. They don't care about the players AT ALL and continue to prove it over and over.
Several have already said it, but from March to October we will have nothing? that's all we want, what happened to season every 3 months? where is season 6? we were really expecting content now in June, understand, we are angry simply because now we have to wait much longer to get something and simply more players. These are the questions we also wanted answers to, most of the questions you have answered most of you already knew the answers to.
more insult to injury. shroud said it best; this is what happens when you have people who don't play games, make a game. no one cares about the leveling experience. we have all been max level for years so why would we care about a cinematic that zooms on your character. people need a reason to log into the game everyday and as of now there still aren't any plans to add things for endgame players to do. you guys are the luckiest devs in the world because you have players who still hang on and check back to see if their once favorite game has updates to return to. players dream about big content updates rolling through so they can once again rejoice in playing but are constantly drove away from your lack of care. in my opinion, big changes need to be made with staffing cause other big studios would have fired you guys a long time ago.
Holy shit this was sad. This team and game are lost. I can't fucking believe this is what we waited on for 6 months. Scott "I'll start with our players who own angry earth, yeah so we redid the leveling experience". Oh you mean that shit we did a year ago? Who cares dude. Msq rework? Who cares! Nobody who's done the content already wants to go back and do the story again for a few cutscenes. CONTENT!
You had a literal gold mine in your hands. The New World beta was some of the most fun i ever had in any game i ever played. Even the release i look back on with fond memories. But the way you mishandled this game is crazy. Talk about being out of touch with your playerbase.
1:29 And that provided nothing in terms of what existing players receive or benefit, why so vague? Ok, so 6:17 If I pay for the game again, for console access (If I wanted to play on console) All I score is a mount skin?
To save time since they don't say anything new. Skip to 10:40 for the upcoming release content listed (they are repeating the same answers throughout). Road map for future 2025 content is said to drop somewhere after that release.
Endgame solo trials = 3 per day. PLEASE make it so that you can skip a day or two and NOT lose out on potential rewards. Let players accumulate up to 3 days worth of solo trials (9 as max), so that if we cant play for a few days, we can log in and do 9 and get rewards for 9.
I played the game a LOT, I was almost in love with it!... but that love ended in disappointment. Thanks to the "wonderful" development team who instead of taking the courage to confront THEIR playerbase problems (for almost several YEARS now), focused on THEIR OWN visions which were not nearly about OUR problems and killed the game. Did they admit it? No. The game is nearly dead? Yes. And now they're releasing an update that relies on console gamers, abandoning the PC sphere and just changing the name of the game. I still HOPE that they will replace the current developers and put brave people who are loyal and faithful to the game at the helm of development who really want to see New World rise from the ashes.
Ags: "if you wait a year we will have big things for you" 1 year later: "we know there was a lack of content so we redid content you already did before (trials) and the story mode (that you already finished) so you could do it all over again and have content 😅 My absolute favorite quote : "we know you have been asking for a new opr map but thats not what you want, we know what you really want" No AGS, you clearly do not know what we really want. We want a pvp mode that isnt winnable by doing pve. I want my company to be able to war other companies of similar level so i dont have to try and crawl my way up into gate kept wars by being smashed by the same 2 companies and all of their alts. On every server. Clearly no one who works here is married because your wife would have told you by now how terrible you are at listening and knowing what the other person in your relationship "really wants."
Guess I’ll log back in on October as a PC player but so many AAA MMOs are expected to release this year in Q3-Q4 if you think I’ll still be playing new world, your wrong. Good luck
Why no new opr map? SADGE... ALSO ---- What will happen to the current Artifacts on Oct 15th update? Will they be up-scaled or are we going to have to farm them and upgrade them again? Would love to know, thanks
Add an endless PVP track? no) add an infinite lvl? no) new card out post? no) new weapons? no) New PVP mode? no) New perks? no) you can't even fix the mistake of long animation of health potions, in 4 months we will have the dialogues in the plot fixed, the best game, thank you.
So we were sold an expansion based on a roadmap upon which only 25%-35% of said road map was delivered. Then we were goated for 8 months with no content for the June announcement that was made specifically for console players only. Now you tell us there is no season 6 or literally anything until Oct 15th? Does anyone know any good class action lawyer ready to get rich?
Can you please get the game supported in Egypt as it is being sold in our Steam and many of us would like to play it, but seems we never able to connect to any in game server. Although we are being able to play many other mmorpg games without having such problem at all.
This isn't helpful. This is mostly the same stuff we already knew, without further details or context. If you rushed to get this video out, and thought this would help the discontent from PC players, it demonstrates that you still are completely disconnected from reality.
I"m not sure if AGS has little to no experience with games due to poor delivering quality of new content, or just they not giving a shit about existing players and just telling lies. In the last months they didnt delivered nothing, they"ve created expectations and delivered nothing. For the AGS management, please hire some people that knows what to do!
Its crazy how these people sit there with a straight face saying how excited and optimistic they are for the game, while every single player knows by October they should be happy to have 1k people online.Might be a genius trick to annihalate the pc population so they don't have to bother with it, since pc players won't be milked anymore lol. They can start milking all the console players for a while.
Explain to me how GS increase is content if it’s the same perks we have had unchanged for almost 2 years? Like you’re telling me I have to re-gear for the second time for the same armor I have used for 3 years. Please understand how bad of an experience this is.
what happen to all their glowing faces at IGN....they look a little pissed....they didn't even apologize to the PC players....they don't even understand the problem, they caused....NEED TO BE REPLACED....
Let's dive into answering all those New World questions that only PC users will roast you for... because that's worked out splendidly for you over the past few years, hasn't it? Come on, AGS, for all the "beta" PC players who've endured and even shelled out for the DLC... just listen to us for once! You're like the band playing on the sinking Titanic... why are you still strumming through the chaos? I love how you're focusing on the entry-level experience and dialogue... because that was definitely the problem. AGS, supposedly a large studio, had potential only limited by the DEVS... who claimed they were really listening to our feedback. Over the past 3(ish) years, it sure doesn't seem like it. New content, weapons, lands, NPC stores... you had so many opportunities to listen to us. From 100K+ players to less than 10K... do the math. You asked, we responded, and you turned your backs on us and did the opposite. You all seem way too happy for a game that spits in the face of all your (past) current players.
i REALLY want to love this game but you guys don't know what you're doing, most blunt & honest way to put it. People saying yall should lose your jobs are ruthless, but in all honesty, this game had an amazing foundation and failed in every right - if the problem was resources, amazon didn't care enough
I know everyone is fuming and rightfully so, I am as well. Katy and Scot are straight up laughing at us but I want to take moment to acknowledge David. Looking at his pained smiles and expressions I can tell he is not ok with this shit.
It will very likely be extended, but I don't know why that would matter. Season 5 had enough content to last a week at best. The hole thing was a straight joke.
so youre gonna release basically next to nothing until october and string us along promising that there will be a good roadmap when Aeternum launches. Sounds familiar....
Nobody asked these questions, quit playin. Why not address the real concerns and questions current players are asking. No one asked for solo content, why was that the main focus for this abysmal announcement.
You guys should start adding the names of the players asking these questions. It feels like these videos are intended to just get a message out rather than address community concerns.
I'm gonna change my previous statement. Here is my biggest issue with how you've handled things thus far: All you had to do was be upfront and actually transparent. If you had said: "Hey guys, we're going to massively overhaul the game. It'll take about a year, and while we still will release content, but it won't be anything major until after the overhaul, please give us time and thank you for understanding" the response would be drastically different. Yoshi P did it with FF14, and look at the state of the game now compared to its initial release. Instead, while New World is hemorrhaging players, you decide to string along what remains of your dedicated PC player base, and then *troll them*. The fact that your second to last video had to be approved my multiple people, and still made it to being published is insane to me. It comes off as extremely out of touch, and it makes myself, as well as many others think that you just do not care at all about the state of this game. For the record, I *want* New World to succeed and have a massive playerbase. I also think that console will be great for the health of the game. I just do not understand the decisions that are coming from the top. They feel disconnected and out of touch, and from a business perspective it seems to run counter to a companies bottom line of making money. And when you shut down the forums, and instantly ban anyone on the discord who even remotely gives valid criticisms, it makes me have to ask you one question: Why should any of us trust what you have to say?
What in the actual F***!!! We got slapped in the face with hush hush. Slapped in the face with a “bleeped out” dev update. Slapped in the face with a “wait until summer fest.” Slapped in the face with the Summer Game Fest announcement shenanigans. And now we get kicked in the groin with this Q&A. You mean to tell me all we get between now and October is the summer medley; NO season 6?! NO content?! My mind is blown, not surprised; but BLOWN! ✌🏾
Console player, you seem to have a lot of bad reputation surrounding this game. This really puts me off spending my money, especially if it's full of bots, duping, and bugs 🐛 i feel like you're a sinking ship thats finally decided to get us console players involved so you can try and scalp the market one last time
As a PC player who got high level character (optimal gear with maxed out professions), I'm actually hyped to start over with fresh servers. I did not get to experience the new quests since my character was already past that. Good stuff ahead! Thanks and see you around in October!
Why would you make this personal and talk about someone’s weight? That’s disgusting. I get you’re pissed about the game cause I am too but don’t go talking about peoples weight.
@@Khicksy if she could lose weight maybe the game would be in a better spot, and additionally if she was normal weight she would not be there anyway cuz she will have huge ego cuz of looks. end of day being 300 pound is ur own fault and thats disgusting to me.
