New World hasn't even announced anything, amazon just said "it's gonna be a game, probably with some survival and massive mutliplayer poo poo".

I only recently remembered this game existed after seeing Josh Strife Hayes' video about not over hyping the game. I looked at some videos and it looks really good, I'll probably check it out in beta in a year or 2.

I have one big question though, I didn't watch the whole video to find an answer, but have the devs stated why they think a 60 man raid boss is ok in 2021? They know that kind of poo poo is why wildstar tanked right?

40 man raiding outlived 25 man raiding in wildstar so I'm not sure I agree it is what killed wildstar.

FFXIV has some cool social stuff, in contrast to wow which has just fully embraced the idea that leveling and end game are two entirely different products & one of them is meant to be played alone. But also the FFXIV leveling experience loving sucks and the idea that FFXIV being mediocre is some kind of disqualifying opinion is ridiculous.

If you really wanna go down that road, I said I spend about $1000 a year on Path of Exile - I donated $10,000 to Games For Love last month. How about you? Am I not allowed to spend any of my own money on myself for things that make me happy?

I know nothing about this game, it's history or anything beside that it's a MMO, but based on the video they are trying to hastily slap some default assets together for a narrow corridor for a video to try and scam more money and time out of people for a game that won't come out.

Last I heard they hired a metric ton of actual real game developers and it was all fresh assets, but the guy who ran it was a psycho so they had a hard time holding onto people. Reminds me a lot of the curt schilling thing.

Thirdhand gossip: apparently the company was, for a time, pretty decent. Pay was good, the juice scammer had managed to hire a lot of good people, he had more than enough money from his scams and wasn't being ridiculous with it like curt schilling so they had just years and years of runway.

People are leaving because the juice guy is too much of a psycho to be a game industry executive. They just don't like working for him. Also he fired a pretty key netcode engineer like 6-12 mo ago in a fit of pique and things have been having problems since. Netcode engineers are, for whatever reason, loving unicorns that everybody needs and nobody can find. Pretty important for an MMO.

I did not think such a thing possible.

I think in the game industry, bosses can be cruel, they can create a lot of unnecessary chaos, and they can have no idea what the gently caress they're doing. You only have problems when you try to do all three at the same time.

The bottom line is that interesting MMOs can't coexist with a standard AAA 3d asset pipeline. I think evercraft or whatever it's called doing minecraft graphics is a pretty good way to solve the problem, wonder how that will turn out.
