This is just another subtle message to us New World fans that they cannot sustain developing new content at a proper pace,
so they are adapting seasonal servers like most ARPG's & OSRS, except with basically 0 new content, so I'm not sure how this game will ever get a proper playerbase.
When levelling to max takes a couple days to a week max, and it feels like a chore not a journey, and gear progression is still pretty bad and limited to 1 or 2 pieces of content.
I'm just not sure how they will make enough changes to even justify a proper league, but that's just me who is actually into PoE leagues and OSRS leagues, NW league seems very bareboned.

imo what could make the seasonal servers work is if you either carry over your tradeskill progress, or if each prestige carried some useful reward that you wouldn't be able to get if you didn't prestige

Jay, one thing I noticed in the patch notes, and people aren't talking about it is the locations and enemies to obtain the new artifacts. Those places and bosses are not currently in the game so that would suggest we are getting an unannounced new zone or they got around to revamping one of the old zones. They said that they were working on RW, RS & MD. Looking forward to some surprises.

Incoming illegal weapons on all servers when season ends because AGS cant program preventing them moving in the transfer.

So no new content? OPR map preview lol

I started my fifth character on a fresh start server and was having fun. Only had to wait 5 or 6 minutes between dungeon runs. But after the three random dailies I was only making about 100 gold per expedition (compared to last season where I could make 900 a run. It took me 5 weeks to finally save up enough to buy trophies for all my houses and make one combined trophy (160K gold). Then I had to wait until 3 in the morning every week to get my coconut from pvp island without getting ganked so I can upgrade my gear to 725 because I can't find a group to complete the new trial (tried it 12 times and failed on the first boss and everyone quit). It feels like such an uphill grind. Gonna take a break for a season or so, at least until there's better loot for dungeons. And I won't have to curse when my game crashes in the middle of Ennead.

It's looking like 2023-2024 with lot of promises and barely any done, making us wait for the big June announcement. Who knows, perhaps they're working on a mobile version and just wanna get player retention with promises again, the same way they did for the past year :D

[asmkalrizion]

I hope with seasonal worlds they make artifacts part of the cross character progression, cuz that'd be very irritating to put in so much work to get artifacts on one character just for it to all disappear when the server restarts.

i am still looking for a game to be more RPGMMO. This game has turned into a game where you dont need a healer or the tank that does not know how to tank . You just need dps for the entire dungeon. It is not about team work... To win this game all you need to do is spend real money its not a great game, but its all thats out right now.

@NewWorldOddity Jay, you by mentioning stagger issue is a clear example of how the game is still in Alpha Version. This mechanic is a Core Foundation of a Combat System and it needs more work and polishing.

[LurnWell]

Great info as usual.🏆 Looking forward to more risk taking . At least some new ideas are being presented.

[DMM_Fan]

I predict the NW future is releasing Single Player Game after NW reaches certain point. I think it may be even more successfull assuming they retain the cinematic team and sound team

[jordanrasmussen]

So in other words it’s AGS basically saying “screw you players we don’t care what you want this is what you get”

[oldscratch]

Man, I really feel they need to do a hard focus on PvP game modes. It’s a shining point of the game, combat wise, but goddamn give me new shit.

Also, Seasonal Servers and the like are just a complete no from me. I’m not sure of the appeal to devs….why spend resources making content that only a portion of the game’s population will check out?

Disappointing season.

[OGParzoval]

Not gonna play Groundhog Day. We already did this.

[matiasgabrieldelariva]

I'm surprised no one realizes that that pvp server is actually just a 3 month old PTR server.
If the current servers are a beta tester, that pvp server is an alpha tester.

[travisparkel]

Wasn't there supposed to be halberd, pistol, and daggers at some point?

[DMM_Fan]

It feels like NW is very close from leaving an alpha state, because on a recent dev blog, some unseen devs before, acknowledge the issues game has and projected a new direction they are going..
We are getting updates on Open World — Finally!.Last time AGS introduced anything into open world was Raffle Bones (or am I wrong, please reply). Reek Water is getting overhauled with some distinctive design descisions.

[DMM_Fan]

Mutated Expeditions AI improvements can't wait to see how substantial they are.
Now the questions are. are they making Expeditions encounters more dynamic than they were before ? How will it affect gameloop?

[nordee]

Hilarious that content creators still try to defend and push this dead game from a piss poor dev studio. Player numbers are already below 10.000 again. Lol. One month after the so cool, refreshing and "awesome" re-release.
