New WoW killer. K for real this time, New World 8-31-21

It’s hilarious folks think these games probably no one will play long will kill WoW. It won’t be them, it’ll be WoW that will kill itself.

That people still fall for bravado’s obvious bait.

Archeage was amazing for a few months.

I am going to guess they will release with the same problem every other MMO has released with in the past 10 years.

They will not expect anyone to power level in a few days and have no end game content. Despite this actually happening every damn time. It’s like no one pays attention.

Because Animal Crossing will reign supreme!

I can’t see myself ever getting invested into a game the way I have with WoW. I don’t want to tbh lol

You’re excited for WoW to die. So just quit? Go spend your time, effort, and money on something that you think isn’t going to die and you think isn’t horrible.

Oh trust me bud, I’ll quit when I get something exciting to spend my time with. Nothing has had the same emotions that WoW has given me for the past 12 years

Because money … you know, these games and their subscriptions aren’t free so if you’re rich go ahead and pay for all of them, for most of us we have to choose one.

I dont think any of you have even comprehended what is happening here.

This is Amazon. hello? You know, Twitch tv. This game is going to launch with 10 million viewers at least. Every streamer will be streaming it. It will break all Fortnite records in a single day. Twitch will likely ban WoW or find reasons to ban WoW streamer, you know twitch.

There is absolutely no way on earth this game doesnt kill WoW.

My dude if I was that strapped for cash I wouldn’t be playing games in the first place

Most games have a certain life span, dies then the creators move onto something new.

Warcraft is an oddity since it has never properly died.

It is unnatural. Unseemly. And well beyond its prime.

It needs to end eventually.

Let’s not forget, Aion, Terra, Age of Conan, people still plugging PoE and the upcoming Ashes of Creation oh and ESO oh oh and SWTOR … and LOTRO [edit: GW2]

but the same thing that stops (me) people from playing those is going to be the same thing for New World…all the stuff collected over the years.

I could play wow, with 0 updates forever, all Blizz needs is enough Kaurmines :+1:

And nothing will, it’s impossible to replicate that feeling. I don’t care how good of a game it is or how good it looks, all the best game creators from the dawn of time could come together funded by all of Earth with no budget or limits and create the ultimate game and it could very well be the ultimate game and you would probably play it but you’d still play wow too because of all the time spent playing wow :man_shrugging:

Never, ever, ever thought I’d see myself agreeing with Clark.

Still hate the fact that I’m about to…

But yes, New World is an absolute joke and DOA. Forced injected PVE elements that came as an afterthought after the immediate pivot from a mostly full loot sandbox MMO experience after the OG director was canned.

Game is built upon that framework and you can painfully see it. PvE elements will be as deep as a dry sponge in the hot summer months.

No mounts btw, no pets to collect. But hey, enjoy that “all out war” in toggle pvp and the 1 or 2 pseudo-dungeons it’s launching with.

The only thing this game does well is 1.) launching with player housing and 2.) making craft/professions relevant. That’s literally it. Combat is just another ESO version 2.

Yeah…no.
Wow isn’t in jeopardy from New World.

…and Final Fantasy is basically laughing.

Did you play this in Beta? It was so bad and anything new I’ve seen thus far isn’t any better.

Nothing has changed, in terms of combat, aside from being allowed to swap weapons now…but it doesn’t change the mechanics of combat.

You’re still going to be doing the exact same things as before. It’s going to have the same problems with dodge mechanics that action combat games have, because devs seem to design action combat around dodge mechanics…understandably so, but it really is bad.

Makes me want to fall asleep it’s so slow. Oooo I can swap my weapon and do the same thing, just differently now.

oh man… ohhhh man… it’s so bad. Holy smokes…

That only happened after it went free to play. They lost their playerbase, because they didn’t focus on the end game and flitted off to make other games. Had they focused and it hadn’t gone free to play… that game would’ve given WoW a run for its money.

ArcheAge was fantastic in beta. They completely changed the game when it went live. Totally insane.
