I tried joining a Corruption train of 10-15 people and my game would randomly freeze for 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time. It was completely unplayable... awesome!

It apparently hit half our group and one guy said he resolved it by turning down his GPU power limit on the fly. I'm slightly concerned hearing that along with the whole thing about the game frying GPUs

Bad Parenting posted:I Kickstarted a DAOC successor almost 10 years ago now I think, Camelot Unchained. same. I installed the (pre?)alpha client at one point and played one of the weekend tests and it was in such an unfinished state I just uninstalled and decided not to look at it again until beta. I mean, I knew it was going to be unfinished in alpha but im not sure why it was even live in the state it was in. I guess they didnt want to bother with internal testing which is maybe fine?

Ah yes, probe me for casually mentioning something that was all over the news and still shows up in Google search as having happened (albeit with Amazon blaming the GPU makers/them accepting responsibility for a defect). Also I'm sure you'll kindly point me to where it was "debunked" in this very thread tia Don't worry, your game's honor is still intact I'm sure Edit: Hey look, the most recent article that popped for me mentions abnormal power draw on graphics cards! To be clear I'm not saying it's a big deal but handing out probes seems a bit extreme. Maybe address it with some sources/facts? https://news.yahoo.com/amazon-response-about-new-world-gpu-issue-not-okay-160954374.html quote:In our previous article, I talked about some odd behaviours with the game’s power draw from personal experience, and even tech YouTuber JayzTwoCents has highlighted in his video about the game’s abnormal power draw.

Is there a good iron ore mining route folks like? I’ve mapped out a couple of possibilities over in monarch bluffs where it seems less populated, but I’d be interested to hear y’all’s thoughts. i live in cutlass keys and do loops there, in monarch bluffs, and in first light. cutlass keys town is pretty well located for iron routes

Speaking of this game killing nvidia cards, more from buildzoid after looking into it more and having a chance to poke at a card that died from new world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRp75YdLaq4 Basically, it seems it is just more of a nvidia design problem. Over current protection for example is at a rating where if it trips, then the card already saw too much current through the card. And in the case of new world, the game is apparently optimized enough (I don't see it, but whatever) that it'll actually fill up all the cores on the chip. Which means there is a chance of it spiking too high and eating your card. Jay did a video where he showed the power spikes as well. So not quite a new world problem as it appears the chip's power draw is too high under load for a more normal ocp level, but too sensitive that if it goes too far beyond that, it kills itself.

game absolutely stinks, made it to level 56 before i realized what i was doing and quit. i wonder if they'll ever even properly fix it up, considering there's no subscription and i'd guess they've already made most of the money that they ever will. i think all the goon drama was just to make the experience interesting, because the game is really really really bad.

Rexicon1 posted:cmon, someone do some insane poo poo i just completed all three of the cutlass keys PVP missions. I would like to recommend that whenever we figure out what server we're going to stay at, we keep this territory in consideration as The Goon Land. Cutlass Keys: -low level shithole -basically avoidable for the main quest -the pvp quests take an extremely long time, you basically have to run around the whole island. one of the quests makes you harvest hemp, which is great, but you're also competing with just anyone else in the area. -all the wildlife is aggressive -you run past all kinds of gatherable things (this makes it takes even longer) -there's really only 2 entrances to guard -no one's ever gonna want this fuckin place anyway

cutlass is so terrible to push that we have to break it up into multiple sessions mourningdale is the other city that also requires this, but of the two cutlass is worse they're both good zones to live in, cutlass is the green main on my server, but holy poo poo those pvp quests are like running a 10k at least with MD the gathering quest isnt as bad, in cutlass there's only one patch of hemp thats eligible for the quest. the nearby silkweed doesnt count. we skip that quest

They 100% swap to free-to-play with a premium monthly sub when player counts bottom out. The azoth system seems like it was basically designed to sell players a cap increase / daily regen.

The race to .01 for every item is a sight to behold. I really don't care what the dev's say about the state of the economy, there's a serious problem for 99% of items in the game. Platinum ingots on my server are going for .20 per ingot. That is a fraction of the price of all of the raw materials. You lose significant gold crafting an item like that. The only things holding any value right now are incredibly rare things like Void ore, T2/T3 trophy items, and legendary crafting component. Everything else is just gravitating closer and closer to .01.

All these broke 60s will have a consistent income and will be in a rush to spend it.

It's hard to want to buy rare mats when I know I still have to buy the rare recipe and then I sell it for how much to make my money back??

This is purely speculation, but maybe they're looking at the success of things like people moving from RS3 to Old School RS, which is basically just RS3 without any QoL improvements making the grind harder. I've never understood it either, but people that play it say they get satisfaction from Number Go Up in settings like that

So far almost every other mmo I’ve played has been better than this game. The people I play it with are still having fun though and I hate to be that guy making fun of the game while we play it. It’s fun enough if you got a couple friends on the headset, but what game isn’t am I right! I couldn’t see myself playing this solo though.

The game has issues that could be fixed easily in the short-term and ones that aren’t going to be fixed for a long time. Unfortunately, AGS is doing neither so who knows the future of this poo poo. Short-term things they could do with minimal effort: -Reduce Repair costs + increase gold from salvage -Reduce Azoth travel costs below 60. Put cap increase items back in -Reduce Recall to 30 minutes -Reduce xp required for logging levels 75+ by 25% -Reduce lower tier material required for upper tier crafting There’s a ton of long term fixes they really need to do but just fixing the above would greatly improve everyone’s experience. The biggest friction points common in almost everyone’s experience are money, material costs, logging experience, and travel. Fix nothing else but those immediately and everyone would at least think they are listening. They aren’t going to do poo poo though. We’re a month out and haven’t heard any real state of the game or longterm plans.

Unfortunately, AGS is doing neither so who knows the future of this poo poo. Things like logging and recall time aren’t broken, just inconvenient. Logging is really not that bad for a game like this. What makes things like repair cost broken is it disincentivizes PvP. Azoth costs are a problem because it crushes the underpopulated factions too much. Crafting is broken because higher skill more rare materials are worth less than the common ingredients. Ironhide? That gets thrown on the ground.

This video is pretty good https://youtu.be/q6VltoTeCLk The TLDR is wear PVP heavy armor for the massive damage reduction because the damage bonus for the lighter armors is broken. Also this has been an issue for nearly 2 years that they still haven’t fixed. The other take away is that quite a few of the weapon skills in the tree are also broken AF so be careful what you take. The example he uses is pretty lol tbh. This game does have a lot of issues that surprisingly have been around for a long time.
