Who here is playing New World?

I ask because I have seen a good amount of chatter about the game on our Discord server. Because of that, I was curious who has or is planning to pick up Amazon's plunge into game publishing. First impressions?

Here is some initial Gunslinger information about the game:

• MASTER LIST - PC
• LFG Tool - https://www.the100.io/groups/v2/151838

Launch Trailer:

I'm enjoying it quite a bit, haven't taken part of any PvP/wars as of yet, and feel Amazon has made some lousy decisions as far as server population and queues go.

I'm playing a bit, only lvl 12. Not sure how this 3 faction per server situation is going to shake out. With a billion servers, people are going to move to server where they are the dominant force. It will be interesting to see.

Its pretty fun.... Different from other mmo.... mostly heavy on crafting. So far a very enjoyable game. more interested in crafting and PVE.... Haven't tried PVP.... There is definitely a lot to do in this game. Complains of bricking 3090s, just turn vsync on to be safe, hope they patch this soon.

So my thoughts...

The game feels a little like Monster Hunter. Very loosely, but enough to make me think of it. So far I'm not sure if I'm impressed or bored. The tutorials are pretty minimal, and I am having trouble telling how to find things on the map like resources. It's pretty tutorial heavy initially, and then they kind of throw you to the wolves. Now Valheim was similar, however that game was far less complex, so easier to figure out on your own.

On the plus side, the combat system is really forgiving, as I've stumbled into some weird situations. I've just hit level 10, I'm not 100% sure how I got that far, but I'm going to keep plugging along slowly as the game seems like it has some potential. All in all I think I like it, it's just going to take some time to grow on me.
