What a turd.

Generic game and half of my played hours were in a queue >this is when i was sub 60 50 hrs they surprisingly had got that under control 80 to 90% of the the server uptime but i had seen a return to brief queues before I left which was weird... (I thought the game was dying?)

I literally got to level 12 -14 and ran out of quests for my level. The game is a mining/ crafting sim where it is the only true path to leveling until 19 or 20 and the lack of utter progression anywhere besides mastering your weaponry is stagnating and unrewarding at best... (OK so you can main level up to 24ish - 50 though or 45 should be spent forgoing any main quest AT ALL for the best use of the xp so once youve got your azoth staff and orb thingy what have you (azoth amazon really.... WHY NOT BEZOS PESOS BRUH?) You then gotta hard stop and stash away the plot line and pve (aside from dungeons wow only good save nice amazon not like you got a bankroll or anything) so I hope you dont mind pve/ crafting to fill the void (didnt i mention side quests meant for other starting areas or mayyybe your level! and you gotta run there first long as tits theeen you can fast travel *capped @ 1k azoth so make sure you use it or you will lose it *groan* its a mfing currency man get a clue*
^So this seemed true but you could make money between selling to certain decent price buy orders, essentially helping to powerlevel cooking, armoring, while trying to scrape up xp off the town mission boards. Its not bad follow the main quests? kinda? IDK I went to 3 different zones for 25 to 50 legit kinda weavers fen but mostly butthole bleachwood idk the place west of weavers fen (there a little) and crap cutlass keys that everyone hated notably; i made a lot of money taxing people like a scum because they all do it on the outskirt economies or hubs that no one populates regularly.

Idk, apparently you're supposed to aimlessly wonder around this huge map and collect player kills (not necessarily rewarding or encouraged), hunt nodes, and just pretend you're questing to get some items to reward yourself with from the same identical crates EVERWHERE until you get to maybe see more content?

Re-skinned enemies, recycled enemy NPC's when will they learn.


Absolutely average garbaggio and I should have known better.

Most of the builds suck compared to a centrally agreed upon OP nonsense so get your cookie cutters out folks. Creativity is probably not going to be your friend as you will have to split your stats too much to achieve stated bonuses & be as strong as possible because the difference between the hybrid or a purist is too vast to justify.

(went from fire axe to life spear and back to spear hatchet b/c i hear bow is trash PVP at least I can throw things but how long until they break berserk to somewhat patch this "fluid" game idea)

The non moderation in chat is a bonus and negative; hey i met some dope people but I never report anyone unless they are a chomo and a legit groomer was going off for the first couple nights.

I'm not even a proponent of reporting people but I made an exception in this case.


Honestly, I will give it a re-review and invest some more hours at some point
(IF I can even get on to do so, meh you could do a lot better with your free time like masturbate in a glass jar full of nails or kick it up a notch with some sounding)

To end my current review here's a perfectly encapsulating quote of a quote from another review

"If you have played a MMO before you've played New World"
(LeL Poo World)

Essentially this game makes NMS look like a complete 100 dollar product and star citizen also seems appealing now after playing it.


Updated Review :

I quit 3 weeks maybe 4 ago uninstalled this turd, flushed it, and wont be looking back unless serious QOL needs were met, maybe...

They nerfed fishing even harder for the sake of gold farmers they cant seem to get a creative nut together to make a check and balance for. Pretty top tier downs tbqh fishing was the BEST part of this game by far.

Wish I could check the box below to save the sting of the fact I got finessed out of this 40 dollars that would have been put to work elsewhere. We will never get an answer from new world @ amazon they got our money we got worked hard GG no re.
