New World Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Michael (@Zargisan) reported@JeffBezos @playnewworld Then why are you shutting down such an amazing game? It has finally become what it was always meant to be. All of the issues have been fixed. The gameplay and combat are second to none. Then we get rug pulled. “Not financially feasible” is such a cop out.

Tame Token (@tametoken) reported@playnewworld More players would complete the raid if you fixed Gems not working in armor.
-
BerserkFPS (@BerserkFPS) reported@NWGameStatus No fix for Jester not coming down after a reset/wipe. And you have to leave the raid and restart the instance, and you have to kill the beginning adds again. I'm not sure if you all know, but the fix you guys did was not working at all. Needs to be fixed! @playnewworld

Noblekrister (@noble168no2) reported@NWGameStatus @playnewworld Fix the issue that’s causing me to crash every time I fast travel!!

lolJayMo2 (@lolJayMo2) reported@LSXYZ9 @playnewworld I’d say the problem was that SO MANY people saw it during release. It was dull on release and nobody came back. I begged my friends but they absolutely refused.
-
Zaccaiah (@Zaccaiah) reported@playnewworld Get on the horn with Papa Bezos and work on giving all of us a refund. I'm sure that was the plan since you've removed the game for purchase and are completely shutting the servers down, right? Only right that you do so. Do the right thing, not the profitable one.

SystemFader (@SystemFader) reported@playnewworld The massive issue with the game right now is NOT the content for once. FOR ONCE there is plenty of new repatable content WITHOUT daily/weekly cooldowns. However people are tying to gear right now, instead of choosing to participate in the new raid, or catacombs, or even gorgon. Instead they are AFK,AoE farming drops around the map. This has impacted me personally, because it's more difficult to even organize a gorgon (Valhalla), or find a 3rd for Catacombs. Also I believe many playes congregating in several places around the map is why my character animations are breaking when I'm playing. Solution: Create crafting resources for lockable perks on gear. I think it would be too strong to allow 2 locked perks, instead maybe 1. Reintroduce timeless shards, and golden/prismatic scarab. NOBODY is going to spend 9,000 gold on an armor matrix for a completely RNG roll. Instead they will just AFK. #MakeCraftingGreatAgain If people can reasonably roll gear, people won't feel the need to stand around for drops because the cost and RNG is too high for crafting. Also many people have the full armor ingredients sets and trophies for crafting and they aren't needed to roll 730? Why? Those pieces should be desirable and required for high end crafting. (Oppinon) THERE IS SO MUCH good and new content in the game for gearing and few are doing it. It makes me sad. Please consider what I have said. I have played your game from peak popularity to 6k pop. I have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, the dumb, experienced every version of the game and you are so close to new world being better than its ever been. Let us roll gear. Nerf world drops a bit. (Not always legendary would probably be enough)

R41D3NZ (@R41D3NZ) reportedHey @dev_katyk @playnewworld can you fix the afk kicking in arenas? I can’t even use shooters stance without being kicked for afk. It’s way too aggressive.
-
cogolloQuemado (@fideosConTuc0__) reported@playnewworld Will you release the base code and server configs so the community can host custom and private servers? It would be at least the best move for players who stuck around and kept buying in-game currency even when the game was empty and broken.
-
big research (@bigresearch99) reportedAmazon is going to pay a long term price for shutting down New World @playnewworld - Not just one game, its a long term broken promise. You take money as people build up their accounts, then abandon them. Forget @playtlgame - People will quit/avoid that too. Forget future games.
-
Mindwipe (@SoloMindWipe) reported@playnewworld Absolutely insane. Sure the game had issues and you lost a lot of players with those dumb server queues and the initial bugs, but shutting it down after this very good expansion...stupid.
-
Andrewshark (@andrewshark91) reported@playnewworld What’s the point of live service games if they just keep shutting down..
-
GameorGrift (@GameorGrift) reported@_m00nrise @Pirat_Nation @playnewworld They could set it up to do dedicated servers though that are player run. They are just ******** and will never do that. New world would do GREAT as Community hosted content or even as a sub based service as long as it wasn't pay to win. Remove the entire dev team, swap to sub base system. and start rebuilding with a team that gives a ****.

Aivovna (@aivovna) reported@playnewworld Game was fun at launch (like most mmos), but a copypasted PvP game quickly flipped into a more PvE focused experience ended poorly Last time I logged in, the end game was: Lag from chest to chest in the desert and run the same 3 mythic+ lite dungeons over and over again Also p2w

Gioˢᶠᶜ (@flappySFC) reported@playnewworld Fix QUEUES , do something
-
Shultsy 👾 (@ShultsyPlays) reported@BagginsTV @playnewworld Can we be honest here now that it's over? This was the worst development team on an MMO ARPG I've ever seen. This dev team was garbage the entire time. From delayed updates, DLCs not working for hours after launch, focusing on PvP for an entire year, and 2 DLCs in 5 years.
-
Goo (@Goo_Gurt_) reported@GrumpyPawsTV @playnewworld If they release private servers, I'll fix the game.
-
Sean Berry (@S_Berry_82) reported@TweetsvanMaan @AscendanceLM @playnewworld I never blamed the devs, executives are absolutely the issue here.

𖤍 BlessedUPleasant 𖤍 (@blessedpleasant) reported@playnewworld lmfao, hit lvl 70 yesterday… just bought an extra gear set. apparently, the hopes were high, this game had the most potential it ever has….. i was having so much fun. what ******** is this news, genuinely. who will ever play a live service AGS game again
-
Wismic (@blairewismic) reported@playnewworld That's crazy. Especially considering there's quite literally over 2x the active, daily, and peak player-count for this game compared to ESO by Zenimax, without Amazon's infinite money glitch in the back pocket. Major misplay by Amazon.
-
Kib (@KiburenKibu) reported@mike_stang @playnewworld "We wanted to give you a chance to play this new weapon class despite its unfinished state, so some bugs and issues are to be expected." I know, reading comprehension is hard.
-
Ori Node (@Ori_Node) reported@playnewworld Trying to contact support about an ingame issue but frankly finding out HOW to contact support is impossible
-
Denzel (@DenzelTwitch) reported@playnewworld You really should do atleast half the amount of $ refunded back. I bought this game once and refunded when you watered it down and changed design plans. Bought it again to see if you would fix it even bought it for someone else.
-
Ernest (@Ern3stVickers) reported@playnewworld Can u fix the unleashed event, Turkulon is still strutting around like we don't have a freezer full of him.

Brandon 🦅⭕️ (@bswagz88) reported@JexonHP @playnewworld It’s not about being cheap. It’s about transparency and consumer fairness. The devs clearly knew content development was winding down, that S10 was likely their last gasp, yet continued selling store items and DLC with no disclosure that the game was entering maintenance mode. That’s not equivalent to buying a movie ticket — it’s paying into a live service under the impression it’s ongoing. The ethics change dramatically when the service is knowingly winding down. Your argument hinges on false equivalence — comparing a complete, self-contained entertainment product (i.e., a movie or single-player game) with an ongoing live-service ecosystem that’s ending. A better analogy would be purchasing season tickets for your favorite sports team only to find out midway through the season that the team is dissolving the following season and during that next season the team won’t be playing any games — yet you can continue showing up to the stadium to purchase merch and food from the concession stands. There’s no perfect analogy for this sort of situation which is why GaaS are incredibly exploitative.

Kqbleb (@kqbleb) reported@whaitowo @playnewworld No it isnt. The game already lost a lot of players and they didnt even fix m3s for the people that stayed. Devs not lazy just unaware

Jas (@jasnightmare1) reported@playnewworld When will you solve the queue problem on all servers, including SA?

Tannamarie Rousseau (@TannamarieR) reported@playnewworld Amazon realized you have to maintain a live service game and went "**** that".
