XP Extravaganza, more like: let it die already

Another useless xp event for people with lvl 200 . Good idea for kill the player base bored making the same again and again.

Events during the weekday, you really want the game to die a slow and painful death, don't you?!

... or at least a little pony? :csdmeh:

I'm down with a my little pony mount, just make it have wings and a rainbow body that sparkles. When it flies let a rainbow come out its backside with cupcakes. Kinda reminds me of this mount back in Riders of Icarus but they could make it better.

Worthless without giving the same xp towards Aptitude crates. You see close to no under 60 players. This is what they are spending their time on?

And, a year and a half later, nothing has changed. They're still trying "to make games the Amazon way, instead of simply making games people would want to play."

New World's development has basically been Anthem's development - minus the involvement of a company that at least actually knows how to make good games.

What they're doing right now with all the "extravaganzas!" and "drops!" and "devs vs streamers!" nonsense is essentially trying to turn NW into a glorified Twitch plugin, so they can at least wring some profit and infometrics out of its failure this late in the game.

Here's the AGS logic behind these 'events':

Opprinnelig skrevet av AGS honcho:

"Nobody wants to play the game? EZPZ. Let's make all of the stuff that players do, produce TWICE as much other stuff. That'll make the game TWICE as good, and TWICE as many people will watch it on Twitch and try it, and that's all it'll take to make this snowball capable of rolling again. TWICE!"

That is *genuinely* how the person in charge of making every important decision at AGS thinks (and, more importantly, directs the development team). There's no fixing that. Frazzini's departure simply opened a void for the next Frazzini to fill, and that's exactly what happened.

*Shrug*

If you're new or coming back, you should take advantage of this. The world is about to get much bigger with the map expansion later this year.

Yay! That's what we needed!...More XP and not a better game! rly? This Devs are totally useless.

stop whining

That does not help with hard-to-find groups, wicked politics of areas, utmost poor level design even diablo II did better with hell mode (yes, I am talking about 20 seconds respawning powerskeletons that you can solo barely beat als lv 58, and these are simply 700% boosted footskeletons) - and worst of all a rather ultra grindy, little rewarding crafting tree in the end. Requiring 2000+ items to craft and destroy, that are worthless, only to achieve the next level...

el sueño de todo player/bot farmer

xp events for harvesting???? its already a harvest simulator. walking simulator. fps drop simulator. just add pve content. optional pvp. mounts and tons of optimization. you could polish this turd into a diamond. i mean you have BEZOS money.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

Havent played in months but Im guessing this is the weekly dupe?

pretty like 9/10 ppl still playing have all these maxed would be nice if we could get aptitude boxes if were at 200

Man what a waste of good potential, this game was.
Bezos and AGS just either don't get it or care.

Got my stonesmithing and leatherworking to 200 finally. So that's all 6 refining finally done.
