It’s over. I can’t take it anymore
I’ve been trying to see the good in this game, but I just can’t. I simply can’t. This game is completely DEAD, and as much as it pains me to say it—because I’m a fanboy—they need to shut it down already. It’s miserably bad, so bad that:
• They released a new OPR map, and they didn’t even have the DECENCY to change Baron. A fire-themed Baron with a different power? A new demon in the demonic portal? Something to change the gameplay? NOTHING.
• Seasonal worlds are DEAD. There’s nothing left of them. Development resources wasted on garbage that nobody wanted and that was doomed to last two days.
• Season 7 hasn’t just failed to retain players—it has even fewer than before. Yesterday, I saw 8K players on Steam, and that’s with the new OPR map. Almost back to pre-Aeternum numbers.
• M3 in matchmaking is impossible. Not because of difficulty, but because the system randomly matches you and doesn’t even let you choose the level you want to play. Not to mention the garbage loot you get.

What can we expect in Season 8? A barbershop and a new battle pass.

This game is absolute trash, and I can’t defend it anymore. I’m done.

Everyone is done... U.S. West has 7 servers and under 1000 players on peak times.... weekend... game is dead BECAUSE it's boring as hell. Nothing to do, no rewards, no content, mobile week long time gates... holy sh*t, how to kill a game 101.

So, have my assessments of the trajectory of the game been largely correct?

Given how you've made similar threads over the last 6 weeks being for, then against, then for, then against the game as this one, over and over again.... well,.,, I dont find the evidence presented to be compelling that you're "over".

Time will tell, as always, but I remain highly skeptical.

Imagine having an MMO with one of the best combat systems and killing it. By the time Season 8 arrives, we’ll likely see the 5K players from the Pre-Aeternum days again… what a disaster.

Dude the trajectory of the game was established by 2 months into release. It was obvious to most people. Why are you looking for vindication? All video game's become obsolete at some point.

I've said this for a while now and I'll say it again... As long as the dev team keeps focusing on PvP and not PvE content, the game will cease to exist. I've watched so many games go from good to gone because they wanted to focus on the minority's (PvP'ers) opinion over the majority's (PvE'ers) issues.

Just by scrolling these forums and NW resources, you can see the disdain for PvP calling it "toxic" and "garbage". If you focus most of the game around this "toxic" and "garbage" without fixing the issues at hand, the game will become consumed with "toxicity" and.. "garbage".

Players want content. They want to explore and they want new things.

THat's where the misunderstanding is. They aren't focusing on PVE.... they're also not focusing on PVP. They're focusing on monetization. Not content. And people keep buying subpar "seasons," that don't add anything.
finally you opened eyes!
ok, that's rude to admit as a fanboy but everything they touch, it's dead end!
NW was the most deceptive game i ever saw, now they just try to milk the tiny player base
(there's only left many ppl to fill up ONE server per region, at max!)
T&L take the some trajectory...

imagine release content and lose ppl, that's insane! you cant defend it!

ok, ok, console will save it! hurray!
if it was a big success, number wil be here, everywhere!
it's just silence about it!

as i said in a post, AGS want to see this game sunk to close it!

Just forget about this 2021 dumpster fire and wait for the Dune Awakening MMO, Q1 2025, but I suspect they gonna delay it

It’s incredible, mate. They’ve managed to make a fanboy like me open my eyes, but I can’t take it anymore.

In the new OPR map, they didn’t even have the decency to add a new gameplay mechanic (a new Baron). Seasonal worlds are already dead (EMPTY), and all I do during the week is log in, clear Gorgon in 30 minutes, and log out. The game is completely adrift, and at this point, it would almost be better for them to just shut it down rather than keep wasting resources.

AGS has no talent. They don’t know how to make games, and they probably aren’t even competent as a publisher. We’ll have NW until Amazon gets tired of throwing money into the trash.


P.D: T&L is following the same path as New World. The game is completely doomed to fail and is just mindless Chinese grinding. It has lost 90% of its player base, and in Korea, no one wants it. Terrible times for MMOs.
