Denzel (@DenzelTwitch) reported@playnewworld If you guys don't revamp this game and fix it you won't have anyone trusting Amazon games going forward every release you have had was a flop. No Mans Sky did the right thing. Learn from them or hire them to fix your games.

RespawnX (@XRespawn1) reported@playnewworld For us aussies Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), digital games must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match their description/promises (e.g., ongoing live-service MMO).If a shutdown makes it unfit/unplayable contrary to what was promised, it's a potential major failure → entitling refund/replacement (overrides "no refund" policies).

Neakoh ☘️ (@Neakohh) reported@SavvvoGames @JeffBezos @playnewworld This game had so much potential and it was left to die. Years of nothing and a -10k concurrent playerbase on steam isn’t a huge community in anyway…don’t see them giving in to try to fix a game on life support but maybe.

DarkBiCin (@DarkBiCin) reported@playnewworld needs to fix gear. its wild that every single gear piece you get from the Halloween event has Fire Harnessing basically meaning all the gear we get is useless for most players.

MMO_Bean (@rdj4014) reported@StanKnight0077 @Robovader123 @playnewworld I imagine those players weren’t actually loyal to the game only to trying go engagement farming when they were talking shite about the game. The game had its issues, but for me personally it was a perfect blend of everything I enjoy about an MMO and was really laid back. I’ve never been a min/maxed or hardcore PvP player though and I noticed most people that I saw complaining were hardcore PvP driven and the type to rush through content and then complain there wasn’t any.

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.
-
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.

Tame Token (@tametoken) reported@YaBoiWiilly @amazon @playnewworld 1. Gems don't work 2. Devs accidently left old perks on gear 3. Devs focused on Gay characters in main story quest 4. Economy and crafting butchered from update, mobs instant spawn and drop 4x 730 Gear 5. Catacombs glitched and can't finish run sometimes Game is broken.

Kireto (Diego) (@Kiireto) reported@playnewworld PLS PLS PLS Fix the Spanish dubbing in the new area; the NPCs don't say anything and none of them speak Spanish.😶😶

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)

💵Collect & Serve💵 (@_SleuthSlayer_) reported@playnewworld I enjoyed this game, but the issue was 1000 player servers at launch.

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.

popojo07 🎖️ MILITARY 🎖️ (@JohnPopovich22) reported@SavvvoGames @JeffBezos @playnewworld Problem is Bezos is not even there anymore - he has been slowly selling off his stock. Some DEV company just needs to see if they can buy New World. I figured this was coming once they decided to rebrand Prime Gaming and I am afraid more changes will be coming, soon.

AdyGreen (@AdiGreen01) reported@playnewworld im gonna quit your game again. you know why? because it's been days and you are not addressing the queue issue.. same **** all over again. bye
-
Tommy (@Iasuu_) reported@playnewworld Yall gotta increase server cap... a lot of people cant remote login from work. US West has 1 server...
-
ZWOGs (@ZWOGsOfficial) reported@playnewworld Sell it to someone who can actually fix it. Because this game was incredible at launch and it only got worse for no reason. Give it to someone who can do the job. This is such a shame to see.
-
Anemyre (@COGs_Anemyre) reported@bswagz88 @playnewworld This game still had a healthy player base. The issue comes down to Amazon owning it. They have no idea what they're doing in the gaming space and they're soulless, only looking at cost/benefit. Now that tech is cutting fat, it was inevitable the floundering game division would be cut

Motcoeur (@Motcoeuriz) reported@playnewworld Fix pvp balanced didnt work . Boltcaster ignore all resistance ..
-
akito (@akitoshaoku) reported@lDkayyl @towelthetank @playnewworld That's the problem that he doesn't want to acknowledge. He's virtue signaling to sign petitions and "show amazon we want New World" but then is on WoW streaming instead. This is the new Culturally trendy thing that gets eyes on him but not on the real issue.
-
Tannamarie Rousseau (@TannamarieR) reported@playnewworld Amazon realized you have to maintain a live service game and went "**** that".
-
bob (@Crossboneee) reported@NWGameStatus @playnewworld I don’t know what you broke but please fix it, haven’t had any issues with lagging in months and since this last ‘maintenance’ I’m literally teleporting and lagging every second! The game is literally unplayable and no it’s not my connection I have wired gigabit internet 🤦🏻
-
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.
-
Spencer (@iSpencerEdwards) reported@playnewworld I think the subscription model is the way forward for MMOs. The way this game was monetized was very fair to the consumer, but not sustainable in the eyes of money hungry amazon. Creating and maintaining a live service MMO is a money pit and new world wasn’t bring in the $$$.
-
Fat Tony (@FatManinavan) reported@playnewworld Thousands of hours invested in this game. Sad sad days. By far my favorite mmo of all time. Even with the many issues. Played since day 1
-
Sleve McDichael (@mbilyk_) reported@salvarespo @DidItMyWayYT @playnewworld It’s part of the service. If no one is playing it they can’t provide a server.
-
Mithraic_Path_of_Dharma (@MithraicDharma) reported@playnewworld Honestly you had a great game, could have kept it going if you adjusted the monetization model. Live service games always have me worried about bug companies just walking away.

Frankie (@smartassfrank) reported@playnewworld Sad we won’t have the drop of 500 Umbral after the fix. Quickly joining Outpost Rush for next 2 days. ;)

J (@Jesse__Kelley) reported@NWGameStatus @playnewworld Fix the ******* queue every time at 5 it’s goes past 1,000 & sit and wait for 45 min to get in to having your game crash when I fast travel & sit in queue again. Insane how you don’t realize it . Embarrassing!
