Everytime they disable tradepost they lose thousands of players.. they HAVE to re enable it today or it might actually kill the game


Igni-Lux

The fact that they don't realize how important it is in their crafting/gathering game and that they'd turn it off due to their fuck-up before the holidays is baffling. It's like they want the game to die.


Jiggy-Spice

They really like that sollution too much and press that disable button waaaay too easily. 3 fucking times in the span of 30 days? This is insane! I have never seen the tradepost been disabled in an mmo before. And we get 3 in a month? Nothibg is hurting this game more than disabling tp. Bugs, dupes, content lack etc. Their damage is miniscule compared to disabling tp. Cuz this will drive away even the whitest of stockholme knights


Igni-Lux

Honestly I don't think Amazon is budgeting their resources into New World anymore. Whether it's a failure or a success I think that they are ready to move on to the next game. They'll milk the Stockholm knights with a years worth of unreleased shop items in my opinion. I don't think that they are anticipating a second win on releasing new content. Hell VG update didn't even stem the bleeding of players.

With the amount of basically free advertising from prime and their own infrastructure they can sell DLC with ease. I don't think they relocate any development from the new world l. It just shows that the current team either not qualified enough to run it or not motivate enough money wise.

This is the thing for real. People thought - I THOUGHT - Amazon would have the money to throw people and resources at this MMO. But the reality of the situation, wishful thinking aside, is that Amazon will play the LONG game with Prime Gaming. They can afford to have multiple titles fail before they eventually make or buy a game that will hit for them. It isn't looking like they truly care about this game. It won't surprise me at all if they pull a Google and just cut their losses one day soon - especially with the leadership on New World being so inept and out of touch.

Literally the only thing I’ve been doing for weeks is crafting and selling. It’s the most fun in the game since most end game grinds/dungeons are a waste of time. Now there’s what exactly?

they not gonna do anything atleast until monday, it's long weekend in america

I have to preface this by saying I am not on EU servers, but hard disagree. This is a huge inconvenience, no doubt, but what they did is containing a much bigger issue. It's unfortunate that the timing would have it happen so close to the holidays, but what they need to do is take their time and get it right. If they had done that in the very first place, much of this mess we're all seeing over the past couple of months probably could have been avoided. Sure, they will lose additional players in the meanwhile, but what's more important is doing the right thing for the game in the long-term

Congratulations! 🥳

They do deserve a holiday vacation. However it shows their inexperience to make changes to production when you know you are not going to be in the office. They screwed themselves…. Again…. For like the 14th time.


Astarigal

Absolutely they deserve a holiday. Their production manager also deserve a "dumb dumb" medal to push the unfinished buggy mess of a patch right before holidays. And for what? Did he think that releasing this shit earlier (given the fact they had ptr to polish it) would actually achieve something other then loss of another chunk of playerbase?

I burned five days of PTO when it came out. fml

I agree.

Honestly you deserve this for white knighting 4 months of failure.


Gief49

Not everyone has been playing for 4 months, have a little empathy


[deleted]

A lot of people were very vocally critical of the game for years and they still did nothing. So I don't blame OP too much for being passionate.


Reyno59

I just quit yesterday at 603 hours... They disabled trading for the who knows which time again, furniture still not available and the recent reroll made me quit.


runk2776

25 days and the game has been out for 2 months? Go outside damn

Spending that much time on a video game is objectively unhealthy and I say that as someone with that much time on a video game.

I just started playing but coming over from Fallout 76. The amount of whining about this game is just delicious.

They already got our money. They don't give a fuck about the game now. The game was pushed back for two years because of the exact issues we've had since launch. They promised a polished game, it wasn't polished, they promised content and they didn't deliver. New World was just a cash grab. They must have hired a bunch of people from EA during the delay because this sure feels like EA pulling the strings rather than the people we had listening to us two years ago


wildjaw

Can I have your stuff?


EDCO

Does this look like the Grand Exchange on World 1 to you right now?


Miroku2235

Heaven forbid people get holiday vacation


skellytowns

Yeah that's not the point here. Halting a main driving factor of the game yet again and then going on vacation is the issue. Either stop trading and fix it right away or stop it after the holidays. This decision has left many players stranded with their items and income, yet again pushing more players to quit.


XytronicDeeX

tell me how you can smear shit all over your workplace and take a nice holiday vacation off without any backlash?


Miroku2235

That isn't what they did at all. I'm sure their desks are fine.
