    Easy to say 'OPR is our biggest content since the launch' when this is the only playable mod for pvp at anytime

  • @skyminnin
    @skyminnin Před 5 měsíci +19

    "Most of our pvp players also pve!" Not shit AGS. When you leave pvp players with 1 OPR map for 2 years, then make half of the end game gear system require pve, no wonder they have to do that content. Plus they said 1/3 of the player base primarily pvps. Well I bet that 1/3rd has been stable since launch. I bet it was like 1/10th at launch but as more pve player leave due to the boring pve content the percentage of pvp players rises. Like the game direction is weird. I'm not advocating for full loot pvp nonsense, just more pvp updates and maps. Cross world Arena got scrapped after they announced it a while back even before cross world expeditions.

    • @EscoPvP
      @EscoPvP Před 5 měsíci

      All of those numbers are worth nothing
      Most of the pve players still want all artifacts or at least some of the PvP track artifacts - so they play PvP - not because they like it, just because they want the quick exp from OPR - and it takes way longer to get all PvP artifacts than all pve (maybe abyss is an exception that droprate sucks ^^)
      So AGS has no real numbers to be honest 🤷🏼

    I have played NW off and on since release. I really, really like this game and have always seen its tremendous potential, but every time it starts to trend in the right direction it immediately comes to a complete halt for long, long periods of time, killing all the momentum.
    It is sad to see that this game never got the focus, budget and manpower it deserved, because I truly think it could have become one of the best MMOs.

      I played on day 1, stopped playing before seasons were released, started playing yesterday. I think this gives me a good idea of the development without the "Time" blindness, I think they've made lots of great changes which actually surprised me and I think they've added quite alot of decent content too from what I remember, I think its heading in the right direction, with enough time it'll only get better, however I think that improvement might be a wee bit slow we'll get there.

      @@SkainAfangerthere’s a reason you quit before seasons came out. you have a 2 year gap of content (which by itself really isn’t that much content). there is not enough to keep players in the game. no pvp updates. no matchmaking/competitive mode outside of war, which is gated by war loggers for the most part. the pve raids don’t even have updated gear so there’s literally no reason to run it outside of once to experience it. once you’ve gotten the artifacts, there’s no reason to run mutations. unless you specifically need a piece of gear. there’s no incentives to do anything other than you just enjoy it. which is why most people just run oprs. they introduced a new group finder mode and you STILL can’t find groups lol. also population is lowest it’s ever been. it’s always low right before new season, but not to this level. also bringing in console players only alleviates the population issue for a small amount of time. then console players leave for same reason of players did.

    Can anyone here confirm if the devs are considering making consumables unlimited in OPR (like in Arena) ?
    There's literally no logic to have one and not the other. Everyone is complaining about gold sinks and this simple fix would make this game so much nicer to play.
    Consumables are so expensive you just can't make any profit from OPR if u want to be competitive.
    "Rich players" get so much advantage : +48 attribute food / Srong honing stones / DOT's reduction consumable(don't remember the name)/ gesmstone dust / oakflesh balm / AND F***ING OVERPOWERED SERUMS that literally cost so much I have never used one in OPR.

    I don’t know. I feel like we should give them some break. Season 5 is right around the corner and it’s coming with a system overhaul. If that’s not the biggest change of NW, I don’t know what is. We also learned that the PTR has fixed bugs at a rate we’ve never seem before, which explains the slow progresses in the past was due to Lua. Making a new OPR map, cross-region arena should be easy once they’re done polishing C++.

    With regards to the PvE vs PvP time bit, if New World didn't put artifacts ONLY on the PvP track, I would NEVER do PvP at all. There are a ton of people that feel the same. When I do OPR, I honestly don't give a damn if my side wins or loses. As long as I get my 1000 points so I get credit for it and advance, that's all that matters to me. The Dev's should put ALL the artifacts in both the open world AND PvP tracks, that way you don't force people do play the type they don't want to.

    I fail to see any good news, we bought an expansion which granted a mount and 4 hours of campaign story in a revamped zone. No one uses the zone now, mounts are used yes and the only addition are unlocked perked weapons named as artefacts. Literally no content apart from supposed QOL amendments. Im angry because ive been duped to continue on with a game on a false promise of new content which they even admit they have not supplied with smiles on their faces whilst doing so. I have uninstalled several months ago now with the intention of returning should new opr/arena/content in game but no. June potentially. Why come back? You just have to farm old content for weapons to repeat said content over and over again. This is now over 3 years old and I fail to see any genuine focus on delivering on what we purchased. If this expansion was free to play like Brimstone id be less bitter but lets face it weve been sold a turd with a 'vlog friendly update' to mitigate the damage like they are our pals. Ive played plenty of MMOS all with their plusses and negatives but never have i felt like id been robbed and sold a dead horse.
