    Content creators are not everything, but for sure they can drive hype and increase sales and increase participation. Many are absolutely great marketers. I watch Twitch streamers a bunch and I see it every day. They can give players good reasons to try a game, if the game is worth it. New World has been sadly neglected; streamers who put their faith into the game have had a rough time. Amazon needs to help them out with both a better game and more reasons to keep streaming it. Thumbs up for great videos.

    Any employee who joined the New World team in 2023 or later was being set up to fail. The project seems to be constantly behind schedule and under-resourced, and the game's terrible reputation has already been cemented into the minds of nearly every gamer who would possibly be interested in such an MMO. How do you support content creators for a game with no meaningful content for extended periods of time? How can they create an organic community for a game that is all-in on the console port, when the console launch is 4+ months away and the beta is delayed (and is 'confidential' anyways)? These are all just impossible tasks, but I can imagine AGS leadership hiring some poor person and telling them on Day 1, "make this trailer go viral!"

  • @spiritwyrmk8622

    Watching tge gameplay in this video makes me hate the game. The PvP in NW is just horrible. Its all about pulling, rooting and stunlocks. Its all just a cat and mouse gameplay of do dmg and chase, take dmg and run. An enemy looks at you the wrong way and you already lose momentum and are slowed to a crawl. Makes me wish it finally dead every time 😂

      @0skillsPVP the fact that you can get stuck in place by simple light attacks Is laughably bad. The combat is amazing in theory, but it's programmed so badly it fails... especially after the "combat update" that made it even worse. You rubberband all over the place. People don't really make it any better though. All OPRs and races are just people zergs targeting one or two players. 1v1 though?? It's actually decent

    AGS did an awful job engaging with creators. They randomly selected non-NW creators for certain marketing pushes who insta-dropped the game as soon as they got paid, rather than work together for long term growth and success. Several PVP content creators offered FREE time to work with AGS on balancing and suggestions for content. To my knowledge, none of those were ever contacted. AGS had no innovation when it came to working with creators. They just went with old outdated models that simply didn't stick. Now, what's happened since? Most of the creators have abandoned the game and moved onto new ventures. Guy's like Danneh, Ploj, Mika, Jay etc have all moved on because AGS chose to ignore them mostly. People like Ploj knew the game inside and out and had big community support, why were they never engaged? Yet again, another example of AGS incompetence and failure. Duke, amazing content my guy. Really hope you land on your feet with a game, you are too good for this dumpster fire of a game <3

When AGS consistently have to delay stuff and are unable to catch all bugs coming in, it's far more likely their QA department isn't sufficient, and that they don't have a large enough team to tackle bugs, both new and old.

    My last straw with New World was having Lydia ban me from the discord for making the joke “new world is banned in others countries because they’re protecting their citizens” Most of the devs working on this game don’t have the knowledge to make it playable, they don’t have the confidence to take feedback or light hearted jokes, they don’t have the patience to sit through feedback and make changes that will actually make the quality of life better for most players. It seems like new world is nothing but an experiment for AGS, and a failed one at best. I predict based off of my experience, the console release will be delayed, when it does drop their will be game breaking bugs that cause over half of the player population to refund game, the game won’t reach a population thats anywhere close to their first release as nothings changed. The game will be dead before Christmas. And thats mostly because of the inexperience that Scott, Katie and Lydia bring to this game.
