Gear reset = more people leaving ?

[Teo]

Hello everyone. Did you hear it ? Gear reset incoming. The game has long been in a downward spiral. In my opinion the announcement made by AGS on discord will only further reduce the small number of people who have remained to play the game.

Moreover, if you try to save a product (there is no doubt that New World has been in a downward spiral for a long time) you do not make announcements like that until a week or two weeks before the news and trying to answer every question of the community.

I would be curious to know their public relations manager...

I think a lot of people have already uninstalled the game after the news. New World is one of the few MMOs where a 625 gear you do not do it quickly, it requires a lot of time and if you also want a pvp gear bis it requires even more time. Not to mention the time you spend doing all the wards (ancients, lost, corrupted, ecc..), and gear for the other classes (pvp and pve) to be competitive.

To do a gear reset and to not give you the chance to upgrade your gear means only one thing to me, they care zero about community. But thats only my opinion.

Looking forward for your reply.

If you want more details here is a video ive found on Internet. Very well done.
Basically from now you have a countdown of 6 months and.. after that... your shiny bis gear you crafted, dropped or shiny bis you have bought on market will be trash...

CLAP CLAP ags if you want to close the server sooner, thats your best move ever.

if they expect us to run the same dungeons and opr map over and over and over again to get new gear ill be uninstalling.

They need to create many more avenues to get better gear because this game is stingy as hell when it comes to upgrading your gear.

1 step in the right direction is removing pvp perks from pve buckets so you cant roll ward and resilient/crit retribution on the same piece of armor

Thats what i was thinking too. Before to do some drastic moves they need to add more content and fix existing game and game engine. Its pathetic right now, after 1.5.y to still see lag when you arrive in City even if you play NW from a high end pc.

Morever i completely agree with you. Before to do drastic moves they need to fix crafting and perk system. I completely agree with "1 step in the right direction is removing pvp perks from pve buckets so you cant roll ward and resilient/crit retribution on the same piece of armor".

Anyway going to uninstall too forever. They dont see me neither for CD (i open right now NW only for cd after the news and after that i close immediately).

I don't like this game as things are and hold out for it to become an MMO, rather than the MMO-lite that it currently is i.e. you play but there no purpose or real endgame.

In saying that, taking WoW for example, any time there's an expansion, the gear you have i.e. top-end gear, is pretty worthless as they next thing you get from a drop is worth more - so in effect, as a game progresses, gear eventually becomes obsolete and they send you back round the hamsters wheel again to work for it all again, to become useless again at a later date.

If this the kind of thing they are talking about for NW?

IDK. Honestly IDK. But you cannot move instantly from a system to another one. Expecially when you have a game in a downward spiral. And New World is a dying game right now. If they do that means a lot of people will leave, forever. NW was asking until now too much time to achieve a good gear. And if you are asking now to do that again from zero is.. nosense for most people.... It was a smarter move, from my perspective, to give you an upgrade path... But if they want to further reduce their player base... its their decisions.... they are free to do whatever they want..

I think that the majority of their decisions, both in terms of game design and since release, have demonstrated a lack of strategy i.e. no real plan that they have stuck to and it seems far too fluid, so please don't really know where they stand.

The roots of a good game is here. Somewhere. They just gotta wipe the slate. Rethink it. Maybe do a FFXIV gig where they end the world. Close the game. And come back in 3 years with something phenominal and little door prizes(cosmetics)(and cash store currency total purchases refunded in the form of in game store currency in the new iteration) for the previous owners.

Also they need to rehire the art design dept for armor and clothing/character editor. The options are terrible.

This game sucks and the community has said despicable things to me over the pixels moving on the flickering rectangles, so very glad I quit. Like c'mon, you're going to tell people to off themselves or that you'll kill them IRL over this trash game? I do come back to check out what's changed every so often and it just spirals worse and worse. I also love going to circuses, and standing a safe distance from the mentally ill animal abusing performers, watching quietly as people suffer for my entertainment that I exchanged tattered old feces laden fiber with dead old slave owner men's head displayed prominently to enjoy access. But would I want to abuse animals, act like I'm better than them or my fellow performers, compete for irrelevant clout and influence, and willingly be part of the clown show? Nah I'll sit here on the sidelines. To quote the venerable Batman's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Alfred "sum men jussss wuuuhnt to whhattchh duh wuuurllld buuuurn"

the good thing with WoW and other mmo's that have this system is theres a clear path to getting the new best end game gear and it's by playing their latest and greatest expansions content, new world doesn't have this. New world relies heavily on running old worn out content to have a slim chance something will drop from a handful of dungeons (or pvp mini game) scattered around the map.

After playing for 5 months pretty much daily, I just uninstalled New World.

I spent a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get good gear sets, and if the devs are going to make them obsolete, I have no interest in playing anymore. Not today, and definitely not when the gear reset happens.

This kind of gear reset is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in gaming. It's a penalty for veterans who have been keeping the game alive while most of the casuals left. It's basically deleting all the player progress that took thousands of hours to achieve. Amazing.

Any company that thinks this is a good idea, cannot be trusted to build a simple mobile game, let alone a complicated MMO.

When I first saw that woke garbage in game starting screen, I should have just followed my instinct and uninstalled the game right there and then. Would have saved me a lot of time, but better late than never.

You are not the only one. Lot of people going to leave, this time forever. I think its their worst decision ever. But what can you do with a team that has taken until now only bad decisions ? Nothing. You can only avoid to buy their next product to make em understand your time is precious and their dev team need to be fired. After all their game, their rules...

OFC they have to. Pathetic situation as i see now.
Noone (a loooot less people) will be interested from now to craft, to buy bis, to buy gear that you are going to trash in the next months :D
The funny thing is that they guy in video is a real white knight :D that doesnt realize (or probably he doesnt want to see the truth) the disaster done from their public relations manager. This news its literally a bomb dropped for next months that sit in the game with the player until this gear reset. Unless they close the server before next 6 months.

[Teo]

Thats the game as i see now.

They are trying to end there game. It was a disaster and they want it gone. Expect more game killing decisions in the future. Its not being abandoned its being outright killed by design.
