13 Nightingale Beginner Tips & Tricks that I wish somebody told me
It’s all company greed we can all agree it’s gonna be another cash grab for console release with limited and minor updates till it dies again then they will rinse repeat it on the Nintendo platform 😅
This Is a hard puzzle to solve on one hand the launch of the game would have not been big without shroud being paid to play but I agree without home grown streamers the game won't have longevity
Just move on guys....
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.
Soooo.. essentially confirmed what a lot if us already new. AGS are just another group of "money first" publishers who hamstring real designers at the expense of the product quality, resulting in another failed game.
Can you show some PVE stuff The same stuff very video.
Who records doing laz m3s for the 696th time ? 😅
Uh if their focus is on the creator program they are on the wrong track. Fix the game and make it fun. I can’t imagine focusing on anything else…
You do great job with majority of your videos BUT still i don't find it cool that you put Max on the spot with some rumors to trigger a response..
Check out once human and leave this train wreck thst AGS have created
Dead game lol
'Hands tied behind their backs' and being 'setup for success' seems like a contradictory message.
I feel bad for the 6 console players who will now have to wait longer
Makes sense
hahahaha they dont even know who the boss is either. what a clusterfunk
Wondering if NWA devs need more shovels for the holes they keep digging for themselves to fall into. Asking for a friend. From another Faction. Definitely not me. 🤣
BOARD OF DIRECTORS, is the problem. This is the major problem in todays economics. Seriously we all need to start being more aware of who actually run these companies and that is the people who are on the Board of Directors. Stop and take a few minutes to google a few companies' Board of Directors and you will see just who is keeping the world fucked up.
Its not just the B.O.Ds, the Chairman also. They're the ones that actually run the entire company plus they control the B.O.Ds and make & allow shady decisions and practices too.
I hope all the people who plan on buying this game on console see these videos and stay away from AGS. Deep down I want New World to succeed but I know that wont happen.
@mattyice19982 exactly so, my friend. Took me two weeks to finally accept the fact that NW is fucked. No other game has combat like it. There is a plethora of games that have the same combat of WoW but not NW.
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!"
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 😂
Have you actually even played the game? Stunlock? Really? If there is ONE THING that NW does amazingly well, is PVP combat. No RNG, no P2W, no gear > skill.
@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
Tell me you have never done end game pvp without telling me you have never done end game pvp. Some of the funnest high skill gap pbp in any mmo ever. It's literally the only reason people are still logging into the game, even if it is just war logging
Which auto attack sticks your target in place 😂
what shame
Appreciate the work dude! Can't imagine new world content being profitable so I appreciate the continued coverage.
ooh this one should be interesting *grabs popcorn*
AGS top priority is to put Twitch panel at the front page.... and it break the server every f*cking time......
Usually in toxic environments when one leaves others start looking for other opportunities. Problem is the market is flooded with game devs looking for work so this may be one of those times where that does not happen.
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
You quit quiet early. Why did you actually quit?
@@dinozavarTV the writing was on the wall for this game a long long time ago. I quit because i was done with this game.
*Scot SHOULD take the blame for New World’s short comings. That’s the burden of command; and if he’s not in command, they should change his title credits.
You're right insofar that by design, his role is in fact the one to take the blame. I meant to say that it's impossible to know if he's the one responsible, when he could be just as frustrated with decisions being made above his head.
I reckon there's amazon suits above him that are tying his hands as well. He clearly cares for the game and wants it to do well, but can't get the manpower needed to expand the team to actually run the game like an MMO with a quarterly season content model.
You’re giving Scot too much credit. There’s no hidden boogeyman in the closet. Scot made his choices about the game’s direction and here we are.
@@chunkycat5296 Sure, I have issues with Scot's direction and choices, but the fundamental issues of bugs and content creation don't ring to me to be a problem of direction, but of manpower. 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. And considering what we know of Amazon, them being stingy with hiring budget is totally believable.
They literally don't know who is in charge. Yikes...
Papa Bezos
So hopefully he have teached the guys above that they can't treat the team like this with hands tied and the next one will get better oppotunities.
Dead game
I almost did not click this vid cuz it's like "well, yeah, of course it's delayed" LOL. However I wanted to support you so boom thumbs up.
The new studio is in rumania
New World was the peak and valley of pc gaming for me as I built my first one in 2021…it hurts. Thankful that it put me on to the genre tho. Good luck to this next generation.
GOT DAMN IM EEARLYYY
It's refreshing to be part of a community where differences are celebrated and embraced.😚
Go away bot
console lil bro's finding out that PC big bro's did not lie to them about how abusive and disingenuous AGS is.
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.
Lmaooooooo
Hopefully these DEVs will never work on another Game.
Isnt every update from this game delayed..? LOL Glad i quit so long ago. Had so much potential RIP new world
When did Betas and Alphas came to be a version of the game for people to play and enjoy, and get a first look, instead of being a beta TEST? Aren't beta testers supposed to be there and TEST and give feedback? Whatever the issue may be has to be game breaking. There's not point in delaying if it was because of a lack of polish..
whow where have we heard that before lol
I'm getting more bugs as I progress through the game: Missing items from inventory (and not the cheap mats either) and cannot attack bug, bugs it seems that have been around since day one.
For sure, delays are nothing new for New World players. Thumbs up!
If your on console and you chose to play on a cross play server, your gonna wrecked by PC players with muskets and bows
This is hilarious.
Man,, even CBT got delayed. This game man. I didnt even expect anything and yet still dissapointed, somehow
as is tradition for New World, this is SOOOOO gonna build up hype for the console release. LMAO
Ain't no way. Duke stop lying pls, that's just impossible, we are talking about AGS, BiS game company. 🍝⚰️
Duke we will follow to to whatever content you produce. RIP New world
