I just want a new DAOC

We almost got it from Camelot Unchained, but it was effectively canceled. :/ Turns out the devs were scamming everyone that crowdfunded it. Now they are out of money and can't finish it is what I last heard, but also the devs have proven to be liars and misleading people.

I need Amazon to not drive that into the ground. I have been watching the Korean version be played by people for years now, and played the Russian version myself, and it was so good. The game itself is actually really awesome. Amazon can really only gently caress it up by having bad servers, and a terrible pay to win cash shop. All of the data mining suggests this will happen lmao.

Yeah I would love for it to do well cuz a non trivial number of people do seem to love the game for what it is, but uh I would not stake my food budget on it either

It should be noted that this now-infamous posting was made at a time when the game was already deep underwater and gasping for breath. It would be tone deaf at the best of times, but posting it when the future of the game was inches away from a sheer drop demonstrated how remarkably daft the remaining developers were and killed off the last remnants of the raiding scene for good.

So how is this game? I own Asus 3080 TuF OC and 30€ without monthly fee sounds reasonable. Does the game still burn rare and expensive GPU's to crisp?

My friend is running a company and they have pvp area battle at evenings on 20:00 clock local time. Sounds reasonable.

They say they make more money in taxes than their company uses money so it turns a profit.

I could join his company and play with them. I'm mainly interested in pvp. WoW PvE got stale after wotlk and I played mainly pvp afterwards. How's the pvp in this game, worth the 30€ to give it a shot?

Just about anyone that’s bought the game will tell you they got their money’s worth from the price of it. I personally enjoy it and still play.

Yeah, but on the other hand, they've stopped player trading several times, the economy has crashed in both ways several times, there's fairly obvious signs of "let's just add more grind to keep the brain worms happy" patches, the support team ranges from Riot Games to insane and the title of the thread is LOL AND LMAO.

But hey, if it's heavily discounted, go nuts and feed the brain worms.

Sounds like a fun game tbh. Two movie tickets are 30€ so if I get 5 hours out of the game it has been worth it already.

Edit: As long as it does not burn my $2000 GPU.

People are talking about anime pants because talking about anime pants is a better use of your time than playing this dead, broken game.

Since you care bout PVP, a better question to ask might be, has PVP improved at all? Because last I heard it was a lot of standing in healing circles while trying to kill nigh-unkillable enemies who are also standing in healing circles, or exploits that make certain PVP events impossible (literally from the last page of the thread: https://forums.newworld.com/t/explo...included/661452), or servers where one of the three factions so completely overwhelms the other two that they control every zone on the map and a server merge/fix is nowhere in sight, or a dearth of open world PVP because it's all just lvl 60s and/or gank squads curbstomping everyone who isn't max level so hardly anyone flags, etc.

Some people are still enjoying this game, but it's a minuscule fraction of the original audience for a reason.

e: Don't get me wrong, there's still 100k+ people on Steam (at least) who are playing the game, so it apparently still strikes the fancy of some people. But I'm genuinely curious what percentage of those people are still playing due to sunk cost fallacy.

the pvp in this game is tremendously newbie-unfriendly so if you are specifically wanting pvp as a main activity i'd advise against

when the game was new you could get away with a lot more than you can now

I got 464 hours out of it before I called it quits and that had more to do with the people I was playing with than the actual game itself.

Don't have any mods installed or done any suspicious trading. I'm really baffled

From others in the industry, I have heard that another company operates on a process of “We won’t actually look into it until the second appeal. The bots won’t appeal because they know they’re guilty, and any legitimately innocent player will be so outraged that OF COURSE they’ll appeal more than once!”

Which is indeed mind-bogglingly stupid for a number of reasons, but… If you still care enough and you can, appeal again.

It is almost like they could not spend their money on lovely games or take more time to think about poor purchasing behavoirs.

Instead lets compare it to how many bigmacs it is worth or some other dumb metric like movie tickets.

Keep appealing until you get an actual person to look over your case and when they overturn it either ask for compensation or a full refund if you're just done with NW at that point.
