New World ~ Officially Addicted

avatar

header.png

I've been waiting and waiting for a new game to actually pull me into its grasp and refuse to let me go. A multiplayer game that I can play with my partner and friends. A game where I can gather and grind and craft and create to my heart's content, but also strive to complete other content.

In World of Warcraft and other such games, I have absolutely no interest in doing end-game dungeons and Mythic Plusses and Raids, over and over and over.

Raids are filled with irate people whom I want nothing to do with. The Mythics I only do because it's group content with my little select group of people, but I don't really want to do it. Let's do the same five dungeons over and over and not get gear, then do it over and over again for one piece of gear to drop that is only good for one of us and we've already got it.

"Progression."

I much prefer this. Creating my own gear, faction-rep-grinding to buy my own gear, and perhaps finding something suitable whilst out and about. Gearing up is not The Be All End All End-Game in this! And I love that.

I'm maining a Dexterity build character at the moment -- Bow and Rapier! But I'm also speccing into Focus, because when I do PvP I want to be Supreme Healer. Furthermore, I don't normally have the urge to actually PvP in games. It's just something that goes ignored unless it's different from your average battleground.

In this, I actually want to.

So, at the moment, I plan to roam around and gather every Hemp plant I see (which is not many; everyone is after it!) and I shall craft myself some Focus specific armour, ready to throw myself into healing.

Whilst out and about, my partner found me a very nice Life Staff that has Focus and Constitution on it, and I'm going to set about levelling that up when I get back in game. 😊

Because I'm a no-lifer who ploughed ahead of everyone 😂 I've gotten up to the bit in the main quest where you make your Azoth Staff. I'm going to do that, then stop doing the main story whilst my partner and friends catch up.

Which gives me plenty of time to gather and craft and test out some PvP! I'm looking forward to it. The last time I really enjoyed PvP was in Cyrodiil in Elder Scrolls Online. I loved the big massive group battles when taking over forts and things. Healing all the people with my aoe heals. It was great.

I'm hoping the 50vs50 battles in this that I've heard so much about live up to my ESO experience.

I'm still saddened by the lack of first person view in this though. I really love taking scenic screenshots and this game is very pretty to look at!

The best I can do is lie prone and hide in a bush so that my character can't be seen, but unfortunately it moves the camera when you do that.

You can't see meeeeeee! 😁 Perfect for an ambush. Lying prone amongst the lush grass, waiting for an unsuspecting green or yellow to wander by... muahaha.

Ah well. I'm really enjoying myself. 🙂 I really recommend this game. The queues suck if you want to hop onto one of the big servers, but the one I've chosen seems pretty good. Amazon have upped the server limit to 2500 by the looks of things, and last night my server was full with only a 30 person queue.

Really glad we didn't decide to go with the Utopia server like we originally wanted.

I'm currently level 20 and have decided to make Everfall my first base of operations. I started out in Monarch's Bluff, but slowly carted my bank-full of goods to Everfall. It seemed a more central location and there are farms all around the city that I can steal goods from to cook my feasts.

Plus, it helps that it's currently owned by a Syndicate company. Though, obviously that could change very easily. This is a war PvP taking-over-territories game after all. Regardless of who owns it, I'm planning to buy my first house here when I can afford it.

Then thinking of buying another house on one side of the map, and another on the other side of the map. So I can fast travel around with ease. 🙂

That's my plan at the moment anyway -- we'll see how it goes!

Anyway, I'm babbling on and on!

Time to do responsible adult household things, then get back to Aeternum! 😁 😂

 

Until next time!!!! 😊

yasssss!!! pretty much the most amazing game i've played so far, only magic the gathering and chess would come close, but thats another topic. LoL. LOVING new world.

I've been durdling a bit and not leveling as fast as I should be, still only like Level 13. Also going with the life staff plan, but I want my main focus to be the Auction House and crafting, with minimal gathering (buying mats on the AH).

That's mostly my focus 🙂 but with the gathering too! XD At the moment I have one of every lowbie necklace in Everfall's trading post, I'd like to do that for all the trading posts... but so much silver required! But that's okay, I reeeeally want to get my jewelcrafting up to a decent level!

I'm level 22 at the moment, and most of that is just gathering and crafting experience, haha! I need a lottttttt of leather for crafting too, so I've been taking on wolves and lynxes that are close to my level, and eating Luck food for the possibility of a few extra resources.

It's great!! 😄

As long as you have fun, doesn't matter if you suck. xD I'm terrible at doing damage in pvp, but I can stand there and spam heals! Die! Then do it some more! Haha! 😁

I think they made a bunch of new worlds for each server. Lemuria is one of those ones. Nice and new! So hopefully there's a new one like that you can play on. 🙂 And they're offering free server transfers in a couple of weeks as hype dies down and the worlds empty a bit.

This game looks insane. It's true that doing mythic dungeons in WoW can be quite tiring and more with players getting mad if you make a mistake and leave the dungeon. I want to play this game, it looks amazing. It's a shame that for now you can't switch the view to first person and capture the beautiful scenery. I imagine if you manage to buy houses all over the continent, you can easily move around without having to go on foot. I hope to play this one day.

I always did the Mythic dungeons with my partner and our group of friends. 🙂 Much more fun and friendly... but... still, it gets old after a while. The raids though, ugh, so much anger. With the raids, at last half the raid group were people I know in real life, but still, I just can't be bothered with hours of such annoyance.

This game really is great! And so nice to look at too. You just go around doing whatever, and next thing you know several hours have passed.

I hope you can play this one day too! I highly recommend it!

I played in the beta earlier this year and the 50vs50 PVP fortress assault is intense! You need to really coordinate with your teammates to hold objectives and look around the battlefield to see what you can do to disrupt the flow. playing New World fills me with a thrill that is difficult to experience again with MMOs. Good luck on your adventure!

Nice! 😃 I'm looking forward to it! I started levelling up my Life Staff earlier today. Decided I might try and get Dexterity/Focus gear and throw most of my levelling into Constitution... since at the moment I have Dexterity clothes and Focus clothes, depending on what I want to do.

Can't wait to try out the pvp!

When pay day rolls round Im going to need to check this out. I haven't sunk serious time into any mmo for many years but this looks like it might just grab me and not let go for a while.

In the mean time I've decided to do a month long Horror Season Game-a-thon and check out all the Horror titles I have been picking up lately but have been to scared to play...."Ill leave it until October" I have been telling myself...

Well October is here and I've kicked my Horror gaming month of with a title that is easily the scariest game I have ever played...Its called Project Nightmares - Case 36 - Henrietta Kedward.

I'm uploading my footage and writing up the post now, check it out if your in the mood for something spooky.

As soon as Octobers Horror game-a-thon is done I'm diving head first into New World.

You'll definitely need serious time to sink into this MMO! It's very grindy, but a good kind of grindy. 😅😁

A month-long Horror-a-thon sounds good, being Halloween Month! I have a couple of horror games that I never really got into. Remothered and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and I think there's a couple of others too. I need to be in the right mood for those types of games and I never seem to find myself in it.

Have fun!!! 😃

It has been a long time since I've wanted to jump into an MMO again as well. Seems many have been feeling that way.

The server I'm on now went from having a long line to saying they need to re-open new players being able to join. Seems many left due to one faction overtaking alot of the map.

Naww, that's poor sportsmanship. They need to band together and declare war!!

On my server the map seems pretty even so far. Purple has 4 territories, Yellow has 3, and Green has 3. Purple did have 5 until Yellow took Everfall, which is my planned first home. But I'm not going to quit the game over it, haha! Still planning on buying my home in enemy territory and hope that it turns Purple again one day.
