Thats exactly what I thought watching it!
Its not exactly “bad” but I doubt it will have massive staying power. A dedicated player base sure, but not the next big thing, at least for me. Might try it out later as long as it stays buy to play.
WoW may be a dying crippled corpse, but the only other MMO I know that has obvious staying power is FFXIV.
[Insert new hyped game here] is popular at launch! More news at 11. Also, can gerbils assassinate you in your sleep? Find out after these messages! 
I bet no one thought Minecraft was going to be a massive game. No MMO comes close to New World in progression through open world professions. They just are so in depth and so much you can do with them that is beneficial to your gameplay and experience.
Finding bait, then fishing and casting your line, keeping tension on it and reeling it in. Then cooking which is really important. Not to mention all the professions are so important to the towns proficiency. I enjoy it. Almost ignored main story quest to gather and craft.
Also the weapon systems is a great core to build on. New weapons are coming there are tons of possibilities. I think New World will do well once they get everyone in there playing and out of Que.
But have you heard about Raid Shadow Legends?
Did you just say the combat is boring when you play WoW?
Ive been actually playing it (unlike you,) and Im having a blast. Sorry toots!
That happened with Classic TBC at the start… and now that’s done. It’s called hype and it doesn’t last.
Well if Blizz didn’t severely mess up TBC launch with tons of issues that still exist and fight with the players on what should and should not be in the game it likely would of lasted longer. It’s a shame that Blizz rushed TBC when it wasn’t rdy because Retail is dead.
The TBC debacle is the sole reason why I didn’t buy D2R and Diablo 2 is my favorite game of all time. Figure I’d just leave all my old D2 memories in tact and play New World instead.
Not only that TBC is a re-release. It’s not a new MMO. Everyone already beat it before and there was nothing new that could be done. Comparing TBC Classic to a new IP is hilariously wrong.
FF14 is crap, though.
So it says a lot that’s beating WoW.
It’s better in nearly every way than WoW. The only thing WoW does better than it is hardcore PvE content.
Is it? Do we have subscription numbers for either of them anymore?
Several metrics have been checked (namely, MAUs and WoW quarterlies) and XIV is overtaking WoW.
Story yes
Community yes
Content types yes
Glamour yes.
Accessibility across platforms yes
Instance design no
gameplay no
pvp no
(I like both but there are things WoW does better)
Exactly. I welcome other games because it’s good for variety and competition. I’m not going to cancel my wow sub just because another games comes out I want to play.
People tend to attack any game that has the slightest possibility of being a threat.
It’s to give ease to the cognitive dissonance they’re experiencing.
world design, no
quest design, no
UI design, no
mechanics, no
You dare mock the power of jefferey bezos?!
Well that’s subjective. Personally, I like the dungeons more, and I enjoy the bosses more too.
It took a while to get used to it, but having access to all the jobs and also the differences between them is more fun in my opinion. GCD-based gameplay is already outdated and pretty boring, but at least with XIV it has combos and weaving.
Well, I don’t PvP anymore, and I think both do it poorly.
Not really a choice when there’s barely any other decent options.
