EDIT 3: DELAYED TO SPRING 2021

This is the first MMO coming out on the Lumberyard engine, beta in April, release date May 26.

Im very curious to test out the performance of Lumberyard with, what should be more than 50 people on a server.

Anybody interested in getting a group going?

 

[Hybus]

Sure why not, I preordered it, I'll start the download when I get home.

Amazon's first real MMO? Do we get to fight Mecha Jeff Bezos as an endgame Boss?

Managed to get a key to the closed beta after the pvp changes, under NDA for details but suffice to say I've lost all interest and suggest people wait to see exactly what the game is now before ordering.

I'd have been all over it if it were like the beta we had last year, it looked really promising.

 

[LoicFarris]

Okay I'll bite, do we have any idea of what game play looks like?

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

I'm going to wait for release because I don't have any money to pre-order.

I have heard the same from early beta testers, but here are my thoughts:

In Star Citizen there is a a group of players that are pvp focused. When CIG changed the combat mechanics and introduced auto gimbal turrets, they lost their minds claiming the game is now crap.

CIG made changes that a small group of pvpers didnt like, but the change was more beneficial for the larger community.

I expect any changes New World made from the early beta were done to make the game more appealing to a broader audience.

I would suggest that anybody who is going to be upset about spending $50 on a game they dont like, to not bother buying it until its been out for a few months.

I don't know i look at this and really feel like this game is 10 years behind and very basic looking. I didnt see anything really about any storyline etc reminds me alot on that whole Warhammer MMO that was made way back when(even the graphics). I need something more complicated when it comes to MMOs.

 

[Thraesh]

Looks good, I could see us having fun in this. I will however hold off until maybe some time in April before launch to get more feedback if I will decide on it. I don't care if there are good and bad sides as long as, like SC, we have fun and enjoy the game as a whole

 

[Sraika]

neat
:p

The gameplay looks fairly generic as far as MMO's go, and it seems 50vs50 is the playing field atm.

 

[Fin_Corso]

I would also be willing to play test it out. What do we need to do?

 

[Sky Captain]

Hard to pass it up. Just have to see if all that Amazon cash has gone to good use in this game.

So … see you in beta!

 

[Cyril]

Already pre-ordered. If they haven't changed everything from the alpha we'll be better off if we have a list of crafting skills so we can make anything and don't just have 50 blacksmiths...

 

[ColdDog]

That game actually looks pretty good :)

 

[CosmicTrader]

Yes, but where are the ORCS & HOBBITS??????????
