    It's a fun game so far. I've only had to wait in a queue twice and the longest wait was 45 minutes. In a week or so things will probably be much smoother.

    It ist the MMO i Ask for. The Combatsystem ist smooth and challenging and Not that generic "Log in Tltarget and press your 238 Keys and macros".
    Te world is coherent. The game only lags in variety in Monster and Questdesign.

    This is the first MMO I’ve played since Guild Wars 2 that is an actual evolution to the MMO formula and tech, and I’ve tried them all. It’s not quite as big a leap as WoW was from RuneScape, but it’s still a leap.

    I played WOW before it
    This game is really better in graphic , in battle system, inventory system, in-game economy (Without farming bots) and so many more thing
    But cap 5 group is really low

    O jogo é muito bom, o sistema de profissão cativante, me chamou muita atenção.
    Sistema de magias e combate é bom, simples de aprender, e depende muito da habilidade de cada jogador, porém como ponto negativo, faz com que muitos jogadores sejam iguais uns aos outros.
    Questão dos problemas iniciais como filas e bugs podiam ter sido resolvidos com maior agilidade após beta fechado e aberto.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played during the various previews and the Beta, so I could see how the game would take shape with the playerbase's feedback. To their benefit, many changes made are in line with what players wanted. However, the game at it's current stage is still lacking too much content, bith in PvE and PvP. It's not excelling at any particular aspect of an MMORPG, which will hopefully be addressed in future expansions.… Expand

    Basically they made everything they could to make you level up slowly, probably to shadow the fact that it has really few end game content. The PvE content is pretty much a joke, so it only has a few PvP BG, city wars and then open world PvP (flag based).

    Really boring game with too few skills and a small amount of enemy variety (zombie, wolves, bears)    … Expand

    New World came out for me during a time where I really needed a game to sink time into. It was almost the perfect game to come out for me. That being said I am not blind to it's flaws.

    New World is at it's core a very simple PVP focused MMO. It's gathering and crafting elements work fine enough to get the job done. It's combat system scratches the build crafting itch, but doesn't fulfill it. It's questing system is more or less just a way to dump XP and Gold on the player. But in the end I find it to be an alright game.

    First let's dive into the gathering and crafting system. The max level for both systems is 200, with gathering getting new things to gather and gathering speeds/luck with it's levels, and crafting getting new recipes, additional materials added when crafting, and item level boosts with it's levels. The gathering system is fine, although some of it's features like luck are not explained in game well enough. On the other hand the crafting system has it's flaws. Crafted gear while leveling is easily replaced by random drops or even PVP gear, and it just doesn't hold it's own. Each new material requires the previous material and a refining material. Meaning that say you want to craft Starmetal (tier 3 ingot) you need to farm Iron and Flux to make Steel, then farm Starmetal and Flux to make Starmetal. The last basic ingot (Orichalcum) needs 21 Iron Ingots and 9 Flux to make 1 ingot. Crafting is just one giant grind with lack of a pay off. I hope they revamp it, but I have little hopes.

    Combat in the game is very simple. You have 2 weapons each with 3 skills. Weapon skills that create buffs do not last when you swap weapons. Other than those 6 skills you have various passives and enhancements to those skills both in the skill tree and perks on equipment. There is also a dodge, light attack, heavy attack, and a block. That is your entire tool kit when it comes to combat. You can also use potions for healing, or special effects. There is food that can buff stats or heal. And finally there are combat items that serve basically no purpose since they last so little that you get almost no benefit from them. For example there is an item that buffs your attack for 3 seconds, but there is a consume time. So trying to use it would go something like this: Block incoming attack, consume item, block the incoming attack, item wears off. In PVE the simple combat and mechanics take away from the enjoyment making it essentially a hack and slash with less combos. In PVP however the simple kits work very well making feel almost more like For Honor (much less though) than usual MMO PVP.

    I'll touch on the story here...there's basically none. There is the shell of a story, but it isn't interesting and you'll most likely skip through it like everyone else. Sums up into this: Aeternum is a mysterious island with vast power, island is dangerous can corrupts all life it touches, you fight the corruption. This game was obviously design to be a PVP only game, but was turned into a mixture of PVP and PVE mid to late way through development. The PVP is flushed out miles a head of the none PVP elements.

    Finally I will touch on bugs and errors. The server issues that most negative reviews touch on were never a problem with me. I started on launch day making sure to choose a low population server. During peak times I maybe have a 100 person queue that lasts 5 minutes tops. This game is heavily pushed on Twitch, so if you are expecting to play on a server with your favourite streamer expect a queue. The game isn't missing a swimming animation, it just doesn't have swimming. Your character sinks to the bottom of water and you have about 10 seconds to get out or else you die. There is server desynch which causes some gathering nodes to not despawn after harvesting, so when you try to harvest those you the game doesn't let you. Some equipment have the wrong models so they appear different than their icons. Climbing on mountains not intended to be climbed on can result in you clipping through the world. In the end all the bugs I encountered didn't make the game unplayable and are by far better than some other AAA games that we have gotten recently.

    In the end I would give New World a 6.5. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it provides a fun experience without a monthly fee, or outlandish microtransactions. It isn't perfect by any means, and there are much better MMOs out there, but if you are looking for a taste of MMO this can fill your need.    … Expand

    The distinct lack of new MMOs makes New World one of the better massively multiplayer games to come online in recent years.

    That's not to say it's a great game. But it's good enough to be diverting for a while. And in this environment, that's enough to give it an 8 instead of a 5 or 6 that it would earn in direct competition with MMOs that have been out for a decade or more.

    That's not to say it's a great game. But it's good enough to be diverting for a while. And in this environment, that's enough to give it an 8 instead of a 5 or 6 that it would earn in direct competition with MMOs that have been out for a decade or more.

    What's good about New World?

    First, it has a top notch gathering/craft system that makes travel/exploration worthwhile. New World is one of the few MMOs where you can walk out of town, chop down a forest, cut it into lumber, then craft some weapons or furniture from it. Overall, I've found this part of the game to be quite enjoyable and probably the only genuinely unique thing about New World.

    The weapons/combat system is solidly engaging. Actives/passives are based off of the type of weapons you use and your choices of specialization. It's got a lot of room for expansion and fine-tuning, but it's pretty good as is.

    Travel is slow. A lot of folks complain about the lack of mounts and the Azoth (resource) cost of fast travel. As I said before though, the gathering aspect of the game makes this palatable. If you're picky on your gathering, you're not going to enjoy the travel though. If you gather, make sure you have the +Azoth chance perk on your tools and, combined with your Inn and a house or two, Fast Travel won't be so bad,

    The quests are typical. Go kill mobs and/or loot their chests for quest items. Nothing new or surprising the whole way through. Stay in your level range +/- 3 and it's all fairly easy to solo without reading the text or really having to think about anything other than efficient travel.

    For me, the biggest flaw of the game is that it doesn't really change. From your first 10 levels to your last 10 levels, you're fighting the same few NPCs -- boars, bears, wolves, bobcats, cougars, crocodiles and a surprisingly limited variety of undead pirates.

    I guess you could toss in rabbits, buffalo, goats, sheep, elk and turkeys too. But all those are really just there to be hunted as they wander around. Rabbits and turkeys are one-shot kills at every level, so you can't even really count them at all.

    I'd say the game has roughly a dozen distinct fighting enemies from beginning to end. Only the names and levels change. That was a problem with Dark Age of Camelot when it released in 2002. But New World makes that game seem like a living Monster Manual by comparison.

    At Level 1 you're killing boars and undead pirates with your wooden sword. At high levels, you're killing boars and undead pirates with a legendary weapon that doesn't look or feel much different. Your armor has improved, but it's probably not all that striking either. You can dye it, but the colors don't really pop enough to make that exciting. And no matter what you do to look good, you'll be outdone by a low level who just paid for the visuals

    In the end, we're left with a leveling trip that was fun enough, especially when no one seems interested in launching big MMOs anymore. But it's not the kind of fun that really makes players excited to do it all again.    … Expand

    Habiendo dedicado en torno a las 40 horas al juego. He de decir que he dejado de jugar por falta de interés en la progresión del mismo y por una sensación abrumadora de repetición constante en torno a la actividades y misiones que el juego te plantea. Le falta muchísima variedad sobre todo a las misiones principales y secundarias que se dan. Y creo que Amazon Games no esta intentando mejorar y procurar que los jugadores de New World prosperen en el juego. Mas bien se vuelve un videojuego aburrido y en el cual te notas con pocas ganas de seguir subiendo nivel e intentar progresar en el mismo. Creo que con un poco mas de mimo y escuchando a la comunidad podrían haber conseguido que tanto la comunidad como en mi caso no abandonásemos el juego. Pero al parecer no ha sido el caso a pesar que el tiempo que he dedicado lo he disfrutado.    … Expand

    I participated in the beta version of New World and drifted off to other games before coming back to New World. They acted like I was getting all this great stuff when I pre-ordered, but I was not. They give you some new skins, but they are constrained. I thought I would get much more by being a part of the beta testing. I will also state that New World is becoming less popular as time goes on and not the other way around. Less and fewer people play this game. Also, during busy server time, I have to lower my graphics settings to remove game stutter. I think gameplay could get old, too, as New World is a borderline hack and slash game. I think the graphics are beautiful in this game and the design is well made. I like the Company system and faction system. This game is inexpensive compared to WoW or UO, which can run into the thousands if played for years. This game has a down payment, which allows it to include lower SES players than other MMORPGs. The market system is rewarding and straightforward. Resource gathering is pleasant, and the storyline is pretty good for an MMORPG. As for character development, there is no ceiling, which is interesting. Even after one maxes out their skills, there is a lot to do.

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention my input latency is unbelievable with this game. I get from 100 - 112 ms, and Ultima Online allowed me about half that amount, 50-70 ms. This considerable lag makes any chance of excelling in PvP obsolete. This point brings my review down to 8/10, still positive because there are many solo things someone can do in the game or PvE.

    The game supports gamers using Discord and makes ample opportunity to socially network with friends, which only enriches the gaming experience. NW supports the opportunity to use Discord through the development and maintenance of a Company, which is a guild. I found a guild that links to Discord, and there is much social input here, making the game a lot more fun. So, it is nice that NW supports this kind of connection through Companies. Because of NW's support, I leave my review one step higher, a 9/10.

    UPDATE
    I have heard gossip that this game's markets are rigged and easily cheated by players. Seeing that this is a very important aspect of the game, I cannot risk it and take down my rating to a 7/10.    … Expand

    Customer Service: I had no problems buying, installing and playing. As for support due to problems, I could not evaluate it at the moment.

    Cost / Benefit: Excellent. You only pay for the base game which has an affordable price, does not require a monthly subscription, the cash store is only for cosmetics and does not sell power-ups or gold.

    Duration of the main story: At the moment it is short but it is expanding with the addition of content and this adds up since it has continuity.

    An MMORPG with great potential - but there’s so much work to be done. It is, however, already highly addictive for those who are patient and forgiving.

    New World is an mmo that could be straight out of 2010. It hardly adds any new ideas to the genre and therefore feels dated in content. The faction system offers interesting possibilities for wars between players, but is not yet balanced. New World demands a lot of time from its players, but does not actually give anything in return that we have not seen before. Graphically, everything is fine, and although the game has microtransactions, they are only of a cosmetic nature. There is no subscription: for the entrance fee, the entire base game is open to you.

    New World is such a large MMO that we will have to spend our time in the vast world of Aethernum. While some mechanics or functionalities don't have much of a place nowadays, it has other things that seem to me to be genuine and cutting edge in terms of massively multiplayer online development.
