J4MES OX4D 10,036 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Anyone bought this yet or planning to do so? Seems Amazon's MMO has made some improvements since it's big reveal ages ago and now it's in closed beta. Sadly it seems to be bricking £1200 GPU's which is not a good pre-release advertisement.. Amazon's New World MMO is reportedly killing $1,500 Nvidia GPUs | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Bricking RTX 3090s in a graphics card drought is not a good look. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9023-new-world/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff Machine 2,105 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I watched a bit of a live stream on it by The Escapist. I'm curious about the combat. It looks more 3rd person hack & slash as oppose to the typical MMORPG. I've also heard folks compare it to Destiny in so far as mission structures and such. I'm not willing to put any money on it right now. I'd like to give a try myself so hopefully they drop an open beta or something.

GazzaGarratt 11,053 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I probably need to watch a condensed video on this to understand how it all works. It looks pretty cool looking at a few streams today but want to know how the quests work and how much fun stuff you can build, etc. The stream I was watching had 25k views and the game lagged out on him so yeah, i'm seeing what you guys are saying above already!

Combat seems to be drawing a bit of criticism - certainly looks less refined than other parts of the game and is even similar to Velheim in terms of simplicity.

Riff Machine 2,105 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I wonder if that had anything to do with the game wrecking graphics cards? It probably wouldn't hurt though. I don't think Amazon wants to screw up this release.

I thought that but they've only bought themselves an extra month, which in the gaming dev world isn't a huge amount of time to fix stuff. I imagine it has to be related to that as they've surprisingly received quite a lot of praise for this game so far.

J4MES OX4D 10,036 Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Game releases today - doesn't look too bad actually and is only £35 with no subscription model either. Plays a bit like Valheim with a less colourful aesthetic. Not sure if I'll grab it but I can see the game being fairly popular and another potential nail in the WOW coffin.

GazzaGarratt 11,053 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Quite a lot of high profile streamers have been waiting to get into it from launch. The no subscription has me still looking at it, as it would be good to see where it goes not long after launch. Have they confirmed DLCs or additional content post launch at all?

J4MES OX4D 10,036 Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Seems most people are struggling with long queues - the game is sitting at just 51% positive and multi-billionaires Amazon have clearly not provided the most basic server structure to support such a game. Absolutely ridiculous. At least that's another game I can happily put on my blacklist now. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9023-new-world/#findComment-141753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdWalker 1,271 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 So, I like to shit on Amazon as much as I can but the game developer or studio working on it (I know this is Amazon's own game studio) forecasted the resources poorly for launch. It's not like every single Amazon server in the world is dedicated to hosting this one game. phil bottle 1 i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9023-new-world/#findComment-141754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,763 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Amazon have been hosting Star Citizen for a while now so they should have plentiful experience of shitty servers 😁 GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/9023-new-world/#findComment-141759 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonHill 12 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I bought it. After 75+ hours spent since launch, I really enjoy New World. It offers a lot of different options of activities and ways to level your toon. A broad range of quests, an interesting main questline, faction rank advancing quests. If you’re looking for something new without the peer pressure of monthly payments and having to play catch up with “lore/ history,” this is a great option.
