https://store.steampowered.com/?snr=1_506_4_508_509quote:New World is an open-world MMO, set in the Age of Exploration. It’s the 17th century, and it takes place on the island of Aeternum, a supernatural island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It features action-RPG combat with massive siege battles and a rich crafting system and character progression. We have solo and player-versus-player experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C8y7X5aXOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tvoJn6hIus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPuTNQDA_ms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn12JcZccV0 With New World, the studios want players to have the chance to pursue their own path without becoming hopelessly lost. As part of the new onboarding process, Amazon has added a whole new set of missions that takes players through the first ten levels and establishes a number of important gameplay concepts. Players will wash ashore on Aeternum, the mystical island that New World takes place on. These early missions will guide players toward a major settlement in one of the game's territories. These territories are player-controlled, so this is your introduction to the larger PvP conflict in New World. Characters will be able to use melee attacks, ranged attacks like bows and arrows, and magic-based attacks in New World as well, as well as craft and customize gear. There will be “epic wars with other players” which once again points towards a big focus on PvP. I’m getting a lot of Darkfall vibes from all of the footage and descriptions thus far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpbmIFIlnz0 Crafting has been completely overhauled too. In the alpha, New World's crafting system was centered around points you gained as you leveled, which could be spent on new recipes and specializations. Amazon found that while the system had advantages, "it limited people's ability to experience the whole crafting system". Now, crafting is what the team calls a "use to improve" system. As you perform a certain gathering or crafting task, you'll get better at it. You'll become faster at gathering better resources or begin to harvest better resources. For weapon and armorsmiths, you'll be able to specialize in different weapon and armor types, such as becoming a master in making shields. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTcz4PoUSLM This all feeds into New World's player-led economy. You can trade with other players, work together with your company—New World's version of guilds—to corner a market, or sell items on the Trading Post. Verfaillie says players can "absolutely" focus on crafting instead of combat. quote:"It's something that we're very excited about. The best crafters can make more powerful potions and weapons, and make a profit doing so. One of the great things with moving crafting to 'use to improve' is you can become the greatest blacksmith or tailor on the server without ever killing a single enemy in the game." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukUXiGHy2_o COMPANY's aka Guilds The “Company” system is also mentioned, which sounds like the in-game version of player-ran clans, or large guilds. They’ll include not just a way to invite and organize members, but the actual trappings of governmental structures with power organizations, hierarchies of leadership, and a command-line made up of fighters, crafters, traders, and more. This past element is very similar to games like Ultima Online or Legends of Aria, from the sounds of it, especially considering its classless progression system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDHjIPvK-yE As an example, New World has an extensive system for building camps, settlements, and forts. In other survival games like Rust or Ark: Survival Evolved, building things can sometimes be a fool's errand, because when you log back in, your carefully constructed home will be in ruins, picked apart by other players on the server. But Amazon has a solution to this common issue with a system called the War Window. With this, communities can choose when wars happen on their territory—so you don't have to worry about those 3 a.m. raids anymore. Territories should be changing hands over time though. If player dominance created a situation where one group becomes so dominant on a server that others can't compete. There are mechanics in parts of the faction system that should keep one company from reaching this point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHGyKV2dZPU That said, if you did want to focus on combat, that is also being improved. New World has an active skill-based combat system, as opposed to the stand-and-slash combat of World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14. Amazon Orange County has developed a new weapon mastery system in order to add "a lot more strategic depth to the combat." Within a specific weapon, players can choose whether they want to, say, improve the damage or support capabilities of that weapon. If you're using the sword and shield combo, weapon mastery is the difference between a supportive tank and a frontline vanguard fighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_C3ibEByLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-LWUhsN6d8 quote:"Aeternum, the Eternal Isle; one of the reasons it's a unique and special place is this substance called Azoth that has these magical powers," he says. "Some of the newer zones that you're going to experience, like the Ancient Crater—this is an area where Azoth has spilled out into the world. It affects the biome with bright colors and vivid arrays of magic in the air. We've got the corrupted area up North, which is this bleak landscape. A winter world where the corruption is oozing up from the ground in this black tar-like substance with red veins in it. For us, we want to create a supernatural world that is full of horror and wonder." LEVELING UP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3v82PKPLNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1udcQgsFDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amo2ocUAylw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cs6XSwUK2M OUTPOST RUSH Outpost Rush is a large-scale 20 v 20 PvP (with some PvE thrown in) event available to level 60 players in New World. The game will sometimes pop into a 16 v 16, depending on the queue. Outpost Rush balances resource management, objective control, and building up their forts to withstand assaults from the enemy team. You can only play a round of Outpost Rush at level 60. Just visit a settlement and find the Outpost Rush NPC and queue up. When the queue is full, the mode will start.
Combat can get real tight around the different Outposts, so it's a good idea to come with a decent PvP build in tow. Here are some of our favorite builds from during the closed beta (we will update with more with the full release.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtQLErrEseI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpkI-AnbX-I There are various different Objectives dotted around the map that can be claimed by either team. You could defeat Baroness Hain (basically like Baron from League of Legends) which gives you a buff for health regen and defense. She spawns every 10 minutes. Spend resources to build Turret Emplacements at either home fort and at two of the Outposts. These large defensive structures can be used to shoot approaching enemy players. Players can take on one of the Corrupted Portals, defeat the enemies there, and deposit Azoth Essence (500 is needed) which can then be used to summon a bunch of Corrupted enemies to send at the opposite team. You just need to head to a Summoning Portal and use the Totem. If you're not into PvP, there are other ways you can help your team win a round of Outpost Rush. Each Outpost has a variety of upgradeable features, like Gates and Siege Weapons, which will require resources to build. Both teams will try and control the Outposts in order to win the game. Some members of the team should spend time gathering resources to upgrade the defense of the Outposts, particularly the Gate and Protection Wards that provide a constant buff.
At each Outpost, there are two structures - The Armory and Storage Sheds - which can be used by whoever controls the Outpost.
Outpost Rush is arguably one of the most enjoyable parts of New World. Hopefully, it will be supported into the future with new maps and different ways of playing. Here are some tips we picked up during the closed beta.
INVASIONS Invasion is the largest PvE experience in New World. This wave-based game mode will see 50 players defend their fort from the onslaught of corrupted enemies sieging the area. Players will have a range of weapons to help them fight off the enemy, with the ultimate test being the Void Destroyer. To win, players will need to hold off the attack for 30 minutes. But if they’re unsuccessful, their territory will be downgraded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEN2U0sSrYo EXPEDITIONS In the world of Aternum, there are expeditions that groups of five players can embark on. These function similarly to dungeons in other MMOs, but with some added features like puzzles to break up the combat. At the end of these unique instances, there are some of the most challenging bosses New World has to offer. Completing an expedition often requires a balanced party of skilled players with enough damage, tanking, and healing to survive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BELoZO7UZZ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zncBP0s3r-c WAR Alongside the massive PvE experience that is Invasion, War is the biggest PvP experience in New World on launch. The 50-vs-50 game mode will function similarly, with the defenders attempting to hold their fort for 30 minutes while attackers look to break down the gates and capture it. Both attackers and defenders have a range of siege weapons to help them in combat. The winner will gain control of the territory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvC8u3S7ulU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bDgjMeznq0 PRE-ORDERS All pre-orders will get closed beta access July 20, 2021, ahead of launch, a unique amulet, a unique in-game title, an emote, and unique guild crests for gear. You can pre-order from https://www.newworld.com/en-us/game-editions which offers you to pre-order from Steam or Amazon. Pre-Order Deluxe Edition - $49.99 Amazon or Steam  Enter the land of Aeternum ready to face the supernatural frontier with the New World Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition includes:
Pre-Order Standard Edition - $39.99 Amazon or Steam  Fate has summoned you to the shores of Aeternum, the Eternal Isle. In a land hell-bent on your destruction, what will you do to survive? Pre-order now for bonus content:
Should you buy the Deluxe Edition? Arguably, the most useful item from either the Standard or Deluxe Edition is the Isabella's Amulet item. This is just a straight-up boost for your early game, which will come in handy when you start the grind all over again come August 30. Yep. All the progress you make during the Closed Beta will be wiped, so don't get too attached to your character if you do pre-order. So, in conclusion: if you want to spend 10 dollars on some exclusive skins, go ahead. But really, there isn't a massive difference between the two, and if you purchase the Standard Edition you won't be missing out on anything too important. You get Isabella's Amulet with both Editions, which is the most important thing. That Mastiff might be kind of cool, though...

Kaddish posted:Can we all just remember when the guild leadership had a plan to reserve 10 slots for their friends, hosed that up, and kicked like 10 people so their friends could get in? Lol. That was fun. If you hadn't dropped the remarks you said and left the server crying and whining, you would have been reinstated right away, but you left and there was nothing we can do about it. We don't like goons that do that either that call out remarks we have prohibited on our rules, so it worked out well. o7 Tempus Thales fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Sep 30, 2021 |

COINCEL PRO posted:Is there another east coast or euro TZ group besides the big US East one? Guild officers tossing around slurs like 2010 goons is kinda something I thought we had grown out of. There are no guild officers who throw slurs because that is against the rules in our server. Either way good luck in your search.

Coeurl Marx posted:I think the issue is not slurs being thrown around constantly, I've only seen two instances of it (different slurs, but both from the same dude.) I won't speak for the other person who brought it up, but for me at least it's just seeing this guy get called on his lovely behavior, and then just doubling down on it and literally talking about "delicious tears" and poo poo. And, at least as far as we know, nothing happened to him for being a shitter. Personally I get enough bigoted shitheads in my real day to day, having to be reminded of them by people I share an online leisure activity with is just not something I care to deal with. When something like that happens in our server, we take it to back channels and discuss or reprimand there. We don't advertise it, because we don't like drama in a server we all come to play and have fun. If that is not enough for you, there is a door, you can take it and go play somewhere else that better-cater to you and your awful opinions.

Dead Like Rev posted:I mean Tempus Thales literally being a part of that whole WTT crowd party plane Jones self immolated himself over and no one said poo poo about it. (He has his own wiki entry with WTT about all the Doxxing he does with that crowd lmao) but then he’s constantly making little nazi jokes and when called on it “Uhh uhhh I’m not a nazi I swear!” But then keeps doing it, and keeps bitching and moaning about how goons aren’t real goons unless it’s early 2000 goons when throwing slurs and doxxing was all the rage. Watching a goon pal play lost oasis and they were camping some nerds in their little mobile base and Tempus shows up and starts chucking some poison gas bombs at it and makes an aushwitz joke. Took a screen shot of that one. Sarcastically not a nazi. But hey I hear Starfleet Dental is recruiting players for US West! Man your butthurt is now double the size of Goatse's rear end in a top hat and that just brings me joy, every time you have to come up with some new bullshit lie or story because you think this somehow hurts me, but when you do this, I just grab the popcorn and while everybody else just enjoys you going down your own imagination on things that have never happened. Your salt, is my joy. You need to try harder though, because this doesnt make a dent in my poo poo-o-meter... that's why you are banned from 99% of the servers. o7 PS. I eradicated WTT from Something Awful Discord back in the day and have banned all of their members, I have been doxxed (keep trying), harassed, threatened, death threatened, and I am still here, and will continue to be here, if only to just annoy you or anyone else that doesnt like me. Please if you have hard evidence that I am a racist, please publish it. You wont find anything unless you doctor it... same with the nazi stuff. Go for it, go nuts and prove me wrong... I dont really care what you have to say about me, because the more time you do, the more time you waste on not doing anything else. <3 (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
