[Megathread] Amazon's New World MMO

[Coldkil]

I haven't played the game for a year, but at least then socketing did NOT double dip a stat. So make sure it actually does double dip.

Maybe it doesn't actually double dip but makes INT scale better when an element gem is socketed on BB compared to STR. Test i've done: removed all gear but my test BB with a socketed red gem. Respecced stat points and set all to STR and checked damage on tooltip. Respecced again and set all to INT and damage was higher. Not a lot but it was a 20% gem (so lowest quality) and i'm still lvl 30 with a 300-ish GS gun. So i expect the difference to increase the better gear i get.

That's not how it worked a year ago.

Even if you put a 50% INT gem on a rapier/musket, it was still scaling 50% from INT, not 100%.

The conversion gems only worked on stats the weapon wasn't already scaling from.

Then either something changed (and i cannot know) or there's some bug in displaying numbers. The only thing that changed were points in INT/STR and going full int gives me a bigger number.

From the description it seems that 50% of the damage stays scaling normally with the weapon stats, and the converted 50% scales fully either with INT or original main stat, whichever is bigger. And of it's like this going main stat should be better, but it apparently isn't.

why are there fresh realms already? they were supposed to start 18 november

From what i recall they are for the return to aeternum campaign and are invite only with the non invite only servers coming on the 18th.

I rolled on a fresh server and i never played the game before nor got any invite. You just need to roll a new char on there.

i rolled on the fresh server, played before, and didnt get an invite

This is so dope, I'm so happy for New World. I hope fans (including myself) will enjoy this. Tickling that checklist addiction.. better late than never. I just hope that it will be lived longer than one day completion. Nonetheless it's a start, and I applaud them.

No more expertise.

Sounds great overall.

I better not have to walk half the damn world to get a mount. I want to buy that horse in like Ebonscale.

Tired of these games making me jog for 100 miles behind a taxi.

D4 went there, and it doesn't seems to be much liked as a season theme...

Bought this game several months ago, loaded it up, created a character and within 5 minutes deleted the game. Reason being, the character control was a massive turnoff, it was not like WoW or other MMORPG's I played, it was that weird mouse movement turns your character or camera, it felt so jarring and wrong, I could not adapt to it whatsoever.

Well, good luck with this expansion to AGS. Giving players what they want while reducing the annoyances is the way to go. Maybe they will be able to turn this around with work and persistence, although too bad they needed 2 years to bring what should have been on launch.

It's like a curse of MMOs, 90% of them launch in shit state and then they need to spend years fixing their game to reach maybe 20% of the player count they could have had if they just would not fuck it up on launch.
