New World: Aeternum

New World: Aeternum

I'm conflicted with this game. People seem 50/50 about it.
Is the game good for a solo player? Does it have a good story? Are dungeons good for co op?. Does it support PvE?.

I'm looking for a new game and had my eye on this for a long time, but people use to complain there was no content. How many hours of story is there, if there is story?

The first part is very solo friendly, but it seems the devs are doing everything in their power to make the rest of the game less solo friendly. It's a mmo... the story isn't good. Dungeons/expeditions are great when you can form a party for them, good luck. There is still very little content in this game, but a lot of copy and paste.

You missed the wave and the player count peak has already reduced by roughly 50-60% since the most recent update. My suggestion would be to ask again at the next major update.

This post partially points out the main issue with end game: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1063730/discussions/0/591757325740581316/

Is the game good for a solo player? Tell you reach max level.
Does it have a good story? Not really. Some like it but no.
Are dungeons good for co op?. They are pugs at best. You need 3 people.
Does it support PvE?. No. Crafting and farming are useless one you reach max level. Its all locked up behind a raid and PvP.

If dungeons were do able duo that would be nice and see crafting, fishing and other skills become relevant again.

Well, there are tons of utube videos on this: reviews, impressions, game play, watch a few and make your own decision. Or...you could just let other folks make your decision for you (seems to be the trend these days).

The game is ok but is crap man.

With the last expansion "Angry Earth" they increment the gs to 700 and let the all gear obsolete with low gs.

They said they learnt from this error and that they will bring all things to the same level.

What do they do?

They launch Aeternum where now everything is really complete obsolete except the gear dropped in HIVE where you can change 1 perk. Otherwise the other options are:

You roll a chest where anything can be dropped with stupid perks you don't need the 90% of the times.

You can craft a 725gs piece of gear with the 3 perks of your selection for 80 to 130k.

I think the guys of new world are compulsive liars or something else is seriously wrong with them, that after 3 years they keep running around the solution but not going directly to it.

And that's what we get. Thing that seems they go in the right direction but is not.

Because then explain how is possible that after 3 years asking for Matchmaking they implement something that doesn't work, nothing really changed and is practically the same as before.
