New World: Is It Worth Playing In 2024? - Review After 2,000 Hours 

Question for you/community about the movement in New World .... when walking/running forward does your mouse control your turning from left to right and then when sat still does it then snap in to free cam mode!?!? Really want to get into this game I'm a rookie PC gamer coming from console hope that made sense... #pleaseandthankyou

Just a casual but frequent player (PVE) nearly 4000 hours. That being said, I have not leveled all the trade skills on the 2 servers I play (3 toons). Don't have BIS gear. And don't M3. Still trying to finish some artifacts and I don't have them all. I am not sure how players don't have anything to do. Their PVP track is maxed too? All achievements complete? All lore found? Every quest finished? Hit the new gold cap? Ultimate trophies? All heart runes maxed? It is overwhelming, all the things I need to do still.

Very well done video. I think your opinion on the state of the game was spot on.

Great job ! I'll be playing everyday ! New world for life ! We shall rise again !

Did they add stagger to combat? Or is it still braindead smashing buttons?

I was there on launch. We truly believed invasions are impossible to beat and we will never lose Windsward. I was there when we beat an invasion for the very irst time. I sealed 500 breaches, killed 2000 PVP. Nostalgia is a weird thing, I only remember the very best and only fond memories, granted mostly due to my company (shout out to Red Bears in Hydrus) while the launch was nothing but a dumpsterfire party and after some months, all we did was just talking with each other for hours doing nothing, just walking around on towns or dueling and oing chest runs every hour.

I pretty much quit when Eden was combined into another server, Eden was one of the top 3 servers in the US on launch and I played hard up until the point of its fall. Just didn't feel like home anymore not being in Eden.

played when the game first game out maxed out and there was no end game wanna come back but not to sure where to start since theres alot of other things to do now

Its worth playing because it will be worth your money for the early/mid game. However, when you get 65 with xpac and start upgrading yoir gear to 700, game is no longer worth it. Just het 700 gs, max out some tradeskills, do a few pvp activities (maybe a war), then youve done all

if you are a casual player = yes. if you like to play 16+ hours everyday and go deeep = no.

i mostly just play it due to fomo nowadays. i have over 3 million coin, ultimate trophies *3, fully bissed out pvp and pve gear, 90%+ in-game achievements, every title (seasonals too), now i'm just trying to get all transmogs and lore pages but alas some are bugged or unavailable. tired of hearing nw players say the game 'has potential', whatever potential it had died 2 years ago. new world is already 3 years old, it's just not making a comeback, it has too much bad rep for any revival. i'm low key just hoping it shuts down soon so i can finally be free

40$ for the amount of good gameplay was worth it for me. Hopefully they will introduce more content very soon.

Hopefully it will have crossplay with console release. Then i would even start a new account to play with my friend who has a ps 5. Even though i was already lvl 60 and finished the main game a year ago

the reason why i've stopped play this game was the ping. As SEA player, i cant keep up with the ping. I hope someday they make dedicated SEA server too. But i think it wouldnt be happened.

big question..new world or GW2?

As a console player, if this is forced crossplay with pc, it's a insta-skip unless there are console only servers as well.

how much money did he put in the game so is that real gold he has a picture of..

In New World you aren't able to just finish the story line without doing anything else.. I ran into this issue when I started getting lv 50 quests at lv 40 and I had to go around and do a lot of side quests and other things to get up high enough to do them. At 50 I encountered the same thing.. main story quest jumps to rec. lv 60.. and once again im having to go around and scrounge up side quests and whatnot. I'm not saying its necessarily a "bad" thing as I get to experience the game more but I was unable to just do the main story and get to lv 60.

Keep up the good work bro you're a hero if you still play

I wouldn't say some players will never return even if the developers put in the work to fix it. FF Online launch was horrendous, but devs put in work, made it amazing and has one of the higher player bases.

4k hours, my favorite action MMO and unfortunately in its current state with such a low population, 50% of the content is barely even playable because it requires groups that just aren't there. So sad :( Ill always recommend the game to New Players, but just know that your new player experience can't hold a candle to what you could experience if the game had a thriving player base.

The only way I will start playing is when NW add pve server and change special nodes to random spawns.

there just nothing to do i have 1.6k hours myself but there is no endgame u just run same boring dungeos that u dont even need a tank for.. and wars that were keeping me in game for prob 600 extra hours since my company was strong.. idk how amazon still plays this dev team im impressed insted of doing something that could keep player for longer they focus on revamping cooking.. game needs a team that can do things quicker and better and 10 new dungeons wont save a PVP focused game even tho they said they leaning into PVE experience now which is complete joke of an statemant.. liked the game but theeree is actually no hope with this team of devs.. and the fact that same team working on new LOTRO mmo im worried

In the current state of new world i would not suggest it. Just wait and keep an eye on it. No telling atm if they might drop the game or just make it f2p

have over 5k playtime and play for last year 1 time in a month..nothing to do...best time to play was the first six month after relaise.then the game with every update easy and easier.all finished long time ago...after every update new things gives only 2 weeks gameplay.after relaise all maxed out in 3 month solo..after update to higher level 3 days for new maxed out.

i try lost ark and already spent 200h in game. when i try to get into legion raid, my monkey brain cant keep up with like 100 mechanic per boss. so i just fucking give up why i playing game like doing homework

Yea

I have 9k in the game just log in and doing same all day this game is o content after year and they do same event thats make me quit this game

The Elder Scrolls Online have also the same problems with PVP.

I LOVE New World and they are fixing lots of issues and making it better. I’m a full time worker, so I’m a causal player (20-30 hrs per week) - average 4 hrs per day. We also have family gaming day with all my adult kids

No... just wait until the Moment comes ... ! in Juni we will know more ^^

New content for JUNE? They were working in a Console port this whole time ... that's your June content. Better luck next year guys 🤞🏻😂

Plus Devs choices to weapons SUX .. no dual axe, no dual daggers , this gauntlest mages Sux... Community try to talk and never be answered ... fuck this game

New World was fun for its time but Amazon needs to realize its dead and move forward with Throne and Liberty ASAP

I wish Amazon did an open world zombie apocalypse mmorpg instead of this.

I couldnt even do the first noob dungeon expedition due to literally no players. 95% of the people that plays it now are 60 doing the end game content lol

It sounds like an incomplete game. Still buggy, I will wait another 12 months.

Honestly if you are looking for money just play World of Warcraft, usually hardcore playing is looking for money in the game like farming and such things

What's your character name in new world I'll add ya as a friend :)

It’s boring at end game. It’s basically a banana farming simulator.

All these ppl with no jobs in the comments saying they have anywhere from 1k to 10k hours wow nothing left to do........

14:06 "I think the game is in a decent state" Let's see...season 5 brought virtually zero new content, lots of bugs and the current average concurrent playerbase is around 8.2K😂

Pretty sad its so much copy paste content. All mobs basicly and so on.

I paused at 3:27 to say it's in no way 2nd to none. The new player experience is not bad, but holy crap, it is not the best by any means. It's actually pretty boring. I can think of a million other MMORPG games that did it better. GW2, SWOTOR, hell, even WOW has better ones by far, and that's for every race!! lol Also, the visuals are ehh, it's pretty basic, to be honest, and I remember last time I played there was this huge frame rate issue. ALSO IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW PLAYER EXPERIENCE: MOUNTS ARE LOCKED TO XPACK, and no, they aren't actually a game-changing feature like how Guild Wars 2 does it, they are just basic mounts, keep on walkin :''''( ALSO, side note because it killed a lot of my experience starting this game, nobody does low-level dungeons hardly ever. Anyways, overall this game is a solid 5/10 because it could really just be a mobile game if they wanted it to (and not a good one). I recommend ESO, GW2, SWOTOR, WOW, OSR, BLACK DESERT, don't waist your time playing a lazy-as-hell ran game.

No, Amazon is actually about to stop funding the game sooner than later. This is someone with over 1100 hours of game play.

Started the game a few weeks ago. I am a casual player, I have a full time job and stuff. I like it, it looks great, and although I am up to level 65 already, there is still stuff to see and do. But I can see the end of that already, and I don't know if I am invested enough in the game to deal with the minutiae of min-maxing a build, grinding and farming for just THE special perk or bonus. I am not that kind of player. Give me some weapon, and I will hit stuff. Give me lots to see and explore. But don't pester me with a gazillion choices of perks and goodies and different kind of bonuses that all give 0.001 percent of something. I already have a job, I don't need another one.

This game is coming to xbox lets go.

the fact that you play firestaff instantly makes your opinion void xD

New World will be forever the game that proved you should release only when the game is ready.

If you think this game is going to keep going once LoTR is released you're kidding yourselves. Their biggest additions to the game recently have been microtransactions, seasons and a paid expansion. They got you right where they want you, hoping for a better game that will never come, while continuing to milk you for money. Guess what they've spent the last 6 months doing? Preparing to take console players' money, while you wait for a new OPR map that will never come. R.I.P.

12:21 LOL

Ive got 1500 hours, answer is no. Let it die,let the engine become another bad game like Pax Dei, LOTR. I logged into Pax Dei Alpha 1st time yesterday? and left and uninstalled after 5 mins when I saw they were using NEW WORLD'S UI. DEAR GOD WHY. Well. AGS theyre new, they need to learn, so do we. No joy, no sorrow. I seriously think they used us as a waiting room/stepping stone for their engine and we used them as a waiting room/stepping stone for a GOOD MMO. It was a bad romance, I do not regret =) Summer fling before you meet your wife in the fall, kind of thing. I think it was a win win. See you next time space cowboys i loved your game!

if you want to be a beta tester for features for the lord of rings mmo yes hahaha

game has so much potential but they are just wasting it its sad cause the gameplay is really it just has no content

After 6k hours since launch, no. The devs are just unable to make the game good.

Dead Game! nah.. I love New World.. 🙂

I quit this game a year ago. It was boring and just doing the same bs then and doesn't look any better

still beating Suicide Squad lol

New World is just for specific audiences, that’s is minority of minority. Stats show that. They added new transmog system that is buy to use , or be very lucky to get one token for chest. Their leveling is glacier slow. So having alts is non existent. Only this minority loves this game and enjoys it. It has potential it needs lots of rework. L

The answer is NO. Saved you a bunch of time. They launched with almost a million players and currently have just over 6k... This game is dead and for good reason. They split the player base with a DLC that should have been a free update. Don't waste your money

The Answer is : No

This game is a joke, devs ruined it because it’s obvious they don’t care. On Lilith, I know at least 3 big pvp guilds that have quit. That’s almost 300 people that I know who have quit

in short : no in long : nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

how are you recommending a game that is completely dead with no new REAL content 10k players max between 9+ servers with even more people quiting day by day... you should give your fans GOOD advice this isn't good advice.....

its even a real mmo was a disappointment

Short answer. No.

The computer players cheat too much

Game has very little to offer as far as MMOs go. Gameplay is also quite boring and slow and unathletic.

These clowns will NEVER listen to there player base. It's sad AF!

TL;DR: Play something else until we have some form of confirmation the game is actually going to be good in June. For anyone else, here is my full review. It is entirely negative, because the game sucks, and is entirely negative. Enjoy. I can't recommend paying what they're asking for right now for even the base game (which includes Brimstone), because even casually you can reach max level incredibly quickly, and at no point do you feel any level of challenge progressing through the base game. All of the quests & leveling in general have been made so easy, especially with the inclusion of the new MSQ updates to make the whole thing solo-able, you're not going to be playing the base game for long, and will then immediately get tossed into the content that has caused the continuous and heavy hemorrhaging of players for years now. Part of the issue with this is that players who have barely been playing a few days and playing a game so easy you can essentially just left click through all the content and win, are now expected to do content with other players that requires more than holding W and Left Clicking. This lack of skill buildup creates issues where new players feel like they can't properly engage with the end game's more challenging curve, and many drop off due to this, if they don't drop off due to absolute boredom. Regardless, it is very likely that all you'll probably doing once you're done with the main story and Brimstone, is the occasional chest run (which isn't REALLY content) or spam OPR for the sake of farming like everybody else does, except for the like 7 weirdos that take it seriously or somehow have fun with it. The crafting is annoying and the system of crafting gear & trophies & buffs used to directly support your crafting/combat/gathering is utterly awful as well, just like the storage system is terrible, all held back by horrible design decisions. Even coming into the game in the hopes you can get addicted purely to the life skilling, you'll find yourself disappointed. Don't even get me started on how hardcore they killed fishing. Sorry prospective fisherman. Combat is terrible, and their update to the combat system made it worse. Hitboxes are still horrible, with many melee swings still going right through NPC models that are standing still, only for the game to not register any hits. Have you tried fighting a wolf lately with a sword or hatchet? Good luck. It is as atrocious as it was at the start. To make matters worse, many players (but not all) are now reporting heavy rubber banding that wasn't present until the start of Season 5. Swinging a melee weapon at a target, and having that target create any amount of distance against you mid combo, results in the rest of the swings in your melee combo chain rubber banding you back to your combo's starting position until you stop swinging, or get staggered. This is not a PC or Internet issue, nor is it a server issue. It is the fault of their new combat system called "Slayer Script" that is affecting some players Client Side, but leaving other players alone. Due to this, some players are claiming people are complaining about nothing, and that they're just experiencing connectivity problems on their end that need to be resolved by the players. This is an enormous cope/troll attempt, and do not let them gaslight/troll you into thinking this is your fault if you are one of the unfortunate ones to suffer this experience-destroying bug. The end game is lacking and what is there is boring. Tack on to that the fact that the jank of the combat as well as the hand-holdiness of the base game's combat starts to become a serious issue once you get to the more challenging endgame stuff. Those issues are the heaviest hitters in why people don't play. It feels like there's nothing compelling me to go on after playing the basic version of each form of content. Why should I continue to gear? So I can play the same boring and/or frustrating dungeon/raid experiences... again? So that I can play more OPR and have maybe a slight gear edge in a completely wonky, jank, glitchy, unfair, and unbalanced PvP experience? Doing a few rounds of the ONE PVP mode that doesn't entirely suck, on the ONE MAP they've had for YEARS? If they want that to improve, they better announce some new maps and PvP modes with this June update, and not just some boring open world always-on PvP that will not make an impact at all. The problem with AGS is they have no creativity, and they prove it year after year, but people keep saying: "Well maybe this time!" - No. I have no confidence in their ability to bring this LITERAL dead game back to life. Their lack of ability to create fun and engaging content is the issue, but they keep updating the game to include stupid artifact weapons, which feel like handouts instead of something special that you really worked towards, and adding/reforming zones to play the game in, while not realizing the gameplay is not good! Oh wow, so you're telling me I can play the game on a new island now with gorillas on it? Cool. Let me swing my sword at them-.... Oh wait my sword still goes right through their body. Cool. Let me just re-install SWTOR or WoW again. At least those feel like playable MMO experiences despite their imperfections. I'm not even kidding about that last part. I see a lot of people talking about transitioning to SWTOR and WoW and it is hilarious how true and real that is.

I would not recommened playing this game.

The gameplay is dang boring.

TL DR, No its not worth

dead game is a dead game,what ever ou say

Just cut ties, there is good games out there where the devs care about you. The community is so small and trash now. It’s all toxic no life’s.

omg you've got the most annoying downtalk problem I've ever heard.

sentences can have more than 6 words in them. try it out. couldnt watch your video because of ur weird talking rythm

so bad game

s New World Worth Playing In 2024? no

I don’t get these WoW games at all. Seem sooooooo boring.

NO ITS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. THE GAME IS UTTERLY TRASH AND FULL WITH BUGS AND NO END GAME CONTENT. THERE U GO.

trash game

Still playing in 2024 on Valhalla. Looking forward to new content, console crossplay and a mega server. I still try to play daily. All the best. 🤍🖤💜🎉🎉🎉
