If you think WoW forums are toxic

Try the New World forums omg…

After switching to New World and playing for the few weeks I can tell you without a doubt that the New World forums is easily 5-10x more toxic than the Blizzard forums have ever been…you guys are honestly super nice even the trolls.

I guess thats the difference between a f2p and a game with a subscription…you know a game is bad when entire guilds are coming back to Wow instead of playing NW.

Edit: oops not f2p, no sub fee.

NW is boring as heck. Dunno why anyone would get mad over it. All you do is run around chopping down trees.

That’s not overly surprising, seeing as how New World is more of a pvp game. WoW’s forums are more of a meme than anything else. PvP games have vitriolic communities.

I’m literally excited to see the cancer that community will be :rofl:

I was about to ask that - how it compared with LoL, which Ive heard is pretty hairy. Is LoL still bad?

Some people like those games! I have a friend that plays survival games like that everyday, Ark, The Forest, Raft, and more I’ve forgotten the name of

I started out liking Valheim which has a lot of gathering, chopping trees, etc, but I just got bored very fast.

As Fenny said, New World is PvP-oriented, so if you compared their forums to the PvP forums, you might find similar results. For me, it’s all about increasing that gnome count, baby! I have no intention of being mean to anyone, unless I see them being mean to someone else and I think it’s justified (and adorable because gnome)!

no, F2P or subscription has nothing to do with it. what does have a lot to do with it is the average age of the players - I play a game that the average age is probably 55 or so and there is rarely any problems in game or on the forums.

It’s also not surprising considering the gigantic issues that game has had.

Could be because a lot of toxic warcraft players quit and are now playing that game, doing what they do …

I swear last 3 weeks or so, it seems people are much more nicer in-game, but it could be the time of day I’ve been logging in since I haven’t been working for the last four weeks.

No game’s forums should be toxic, period. I wish they’d adapt rules like FFXIV and actually adhere to them.

How can that be? New World is a WoW killer?

I think the game has potential. People are too quick to throw in the towel. Games especially MMO’s often take time to improve. Even WoW took time when it first started

Actually my dungeon runs have been A LOT nicer.
People not freaking out during wipes, and there’s even been casual conversation.

there’s more to it

I think people will be willing to come back when they see that the New World devs are working diligently to solve the issues in the game.

we seriously thought NW is a threat?

no we didn’t.

New World is already dead. Of course it’s toxic.
