Discussion Heartbroken

I bought New World on its first day of launch. On my first day of playing i somehow got temporarily banned immediately after killing a turkey (?).

For whatever reason I put the game down and didnt touch it again until a couple of weeks before Nighthaven was releasing. I booted up a new character and had the most fun in an MMO I'd ever had.

The dungeons were the main thing for me. It bummed me out that veterans were speed running them, but after asking them nicely most of them would slow down to show me the ropes on how to clear it.

But of all the amazing things New World offered me: from the action combat, the sounds of mining and logging, the dungeons, the world boss, the story bosses and pvp which i sucked at - the one thing most memorable to me was the bison.

I was trying to level up my skinning in an area with bisons, and I saw one of them just.. lie down on its back and roll around in the grass for a bit, before getting back up.

Have you ever seen that shit? In any other games? I wish I could find a video to show you guys but that shit got me thinking - wow the devs seriously put a lot of heart into this game.

I'm from SEA and im pretty sure the Asia server is empty. Valhalla seems like I'd be on 400 ping.

I might come back just to finish off the Nighthaven story quests, but damn you Amazon you really crushed me.

Yup. We’re all in the same boat brother. Enjoy it while you can, if you can. I spent 5k hours in Aeternum and just can’t bring myself to play. Too sad.

Nighthaven was absolutely showing the way forward for New World. Lots of great additions to the game

Man you missed out on the first DLC release, when they added mounts it was insane, felt like the release of wotlk in wow tbc, there was soo many players everywhere, there was queues to login, I'll never forget that experience, I truly thought I was going to be playing this game for years, sucks Amazon screw it up.

The ping on Valhalla won't cause any trouble as long as you have a consistent connection. I'm in the MST time zone and I've played on Valhalla since day 1, never had a rubber banding issue or anything.

Yeah this was the only game I could play every day for months and months. Gonna miss grinding the leaderboard spots, and doing speed run Gorgons

So guessing you haven’t heard of the mother’s love shrine…? Or the statue for your house?

u/fortwhatnow 3d ago

I've heard of the mother's love shrine but just from reddit. Assuming that's the easter egg for a developer who passed away?

Damn I should probably just reinstall now

It was for a devs wife. You definitely need to visit it. And make the statue.
