THIS MMO IS UNDERATED | New World Aeternum As A Brand New Player | Elly Reviews

I love the game but i wish they made it abit harder to gear. Stretch out the end game. People already like 700+ gs after like 2 days. More power to the crafters… instead for 50g you can buy like 700gs items in tp

Dude, I never tried this game because haters was saying it was bad, but the game was really awesome, it made me feel again the feelings I haven't felt in many years.

I'm level 50 rn its addicting. Good video!

Thank you furry!

I’m playing Aeterneum at the moment on PS5, I’m very impressed, loving it, the story is great and yeah, I like the life skills too. Really hope Amazon continues to release content, oh, and I’ve had no lag. Great game. And I think the graphics is great as is the eerie music…so far I have no complaints about the game. I would agree that the NPCs are not the prettiest I’ve ever seen😂.

Yes the game is okay..but yeah combat is terrible…completely terrible…that and I bet they still haven't added swimming lol.

I could tell that AGS looked to make tough decisions around every corner. In the very beginning, this was going to be a game that was majority focus on PvP. It was going to have survival aspects that aid in the "progression", and there was virtually nothing to do with a story. It was after that testing that they went back to the board, restructured the game, and then it came out with many MMO elements. They added in quests and a lot more structure, and by launch the game came out as playable, but not all that entirely impressive. It was over the few years that they also added more end game grind and an Expansion (before the paid one, there as even a free addition of Brimstone Sands.) but ultimately the game didn't feel whole.

This is when they made a tough decision, which could still to this day make it or break it. They could've pushed forward into the next dlc and hope that this would somehow spark more interest, OR they could dig their heals in and refurbish the whole game, from story to missions to quality of life aspects and whatnot. They chose the latter, and honestly I have to think it was the much wiser choice for one big reason. They also made this game crossplatform, with Playstation and Xbox. It's still currently a risk, as the PC fanbase really didn't get much, aside from a new perspective to start the game from, again. However I do feel that if AGS really takes advantage of this much wider market, and really blow us away with their next attempt at an expansion, we could see this game actually stabilize, even grow in numbers, so long as now that it's been polished that they don't sit on that small success.

I love this game, it's felt like an amalgamation of what I've loved from other MMO's, and even more at times. Things like Fishing and Instruments having unique mini-games, a whole world of resources to reap from. I also love how combat is a much more fluid and active system, and how the various weapons are easily swapped in and out if you so choose. And even the Aesthetic of locations, especially when they made the cities more unique and varied. I ultimately think that what is here as a foundation is immaculate design, but what it all ultimately comes down to is whether or not they choose to sink, or to swim.

Only bad part I've experienced in game as a new player are the toxicity of PC players against console players. It seems like most PC players are burnt out of the game, have a bitter outlook towards the NW devs and is pointing that bitterness towards console players. Played in crossplay server because looking at the steam charts numbers, it's in my best interest to where most people would play but this toxicity makes me want to go to console exclusive servers. I could instead play it on my PC but I grinded a little bit of BDO on my PC and countless hours sat up on a chair hunched over my monitor is just not enjoyable to me. I'd rather lay on my bed, controller on hand playing on my big 4k TV which is the only reason I bought it for and grind. If you're a console player yourself, steel yourselves with this toxicity. I've played Ragnarok Online when I was a kid and toxicity is something not new to me but if you're trying to learn the game, don't even bother with global chat. Asking noob questions there will only get you flamed and hate answers. Better search for the information online than in game. Don't know how many players are in the console servers but will try to make a new character and see if it's active enough for me to transfer and abandon my crossplay character.

Not the same game as originally imo this mmo is great . Once the TL hype dies down even more will play this.

i thought so until so until tonight during my company's first war.. we rolled over them in the attack and its been over 2 years since seige weapons were completely useless.. they are EVEN MORE useless with the re release.. they haven't tuned any of it.. its tuned like it was on day 1 .. very lazy and garbage

Ae-turn-um

Your welcome 😅

I actually came back to this game to start a fresh start character and I am playing as a musketeer to try out a new playstyle which is different from the old playstyle I did.

I am loving the relaunch. You are correct, it's deeply underrated.

Some animations do need fixed, but slower combat doesn’t mean it’s bad.. new worlds combat/pvp is what sets it apart imo. Idk I don’t like teleporting and dashing across the map super fast, it feels chaotic. I hope you enjoy your time playing it because I’ve definitely had my money worth👍🏼

For console NW feels like is made for it tbh. I have no expectations for endgame but dont care really right now and why should I. The key thing is the constant coop element – everyone helps each other do quests and just kill shit in the open world in a dynamic way, even if you are playing completely solo without a company. There is no kill stealing, as long as you get a hit in everyone gets exp and loot.

Regarding movement/dodging, I found it sluggish as fk initially but then someone told me to use light armor and it was a game changer, basically like souls games. Apparently everyone runs light armor in endgame for this reason. Devs need to look at that again so heavy armor doesnt feel awful.

People want everything all at once.

You know sad thing is the game is dead and it wouldn't have if they listened to players sooner and made more content.

New World is a perfect example of having an extremely solid foundation, but is incapable of building the structure on top. For whatever reason, they absolutely refuse to add content for player retention. They keep on reworking the quest design for going through the story, and making it easier to level/progress. On the other hand, the repeatedly drop the ball on endgame content. They refuse to add more OPR maps, refuse to add PvE content that's worth coming back to after you beat it a few times. The transmogs are the worst I've seen in an MMO… The endgame PvP content is gatekept by the strongest companies too.

All that being said, I'm biased towards this game due to it being my first MMO. Just makes me all the more upset every time they mess up. The devs are obviously amazing, but I can't help but feel that management has no idea what they're doing, they don't seem to have the ability to prioritize.

As a ff14 player! I have to say this game is a very great surprise! Never heard of it till it came out on the 15th! Really underrated game! I don’t understand the hate that it gets! Good game worth buy for 60 bucks!

Too little, too late for this mmo to make a come back. Not when there is lots of competition and the devs really burned their player base at launch.

really??? im so tired of these games… is it really good????? i played ffxiv for like 10 yrs and recently ive been playing tfd, is this good? also tired out throne and liberty and i quiet…played bdo in the passed and ehh wasnt to impressed. help me out plz

This game is SEVERELY underrated. It’s amazing. Fuck the haters. Every hater I have met in game (which is hilarious unto itself) has thousands of hours of gameplay. Therefore their argument is invalid.

Shes so fucking fine 😭

New world has the best levelling and new player experience out of any mmos ive ever played , they did the thousands of hours pc andies dirty by not releasing content for a year just to buy more time for the console release and that made those players very salty and vocal , its not a p2w mmo and is definitely easily worth the money if not more .

New world would have so many more players if they just gave out a trial version, maybe up to lvl 25 or something. But its definitely worth trying. I myself just got into it, a few days in and im just enjoying my time doing random things while following the MSQ. There was this fishing quest chain I just completed, long as hell but it was worth it, and I got a nice set of fishing armor and a legendary fishing rod, not even lvl 35 yet 😂 There is so much to do if you don't rush to endgame and just enjoy your time.

Was like 5 minutes in the game, noticed the obvious downgraded movement animations, weapons still have 0 impcat sounds and me in the 0 interrest in spending any more time. These are problems I have since release with this game, reported them numeros times. And it gets worse every time they "rework" there animations and upgrade the sounds.
Folks are praising the sound designe but holy crap the weapons all sound like you hit something with a wet noodle.

I mean, it didnt really change much from pre-aethernum.
But the first release got a bad rep for because of the launch issues.
A year later, most of the issues got fixed, but people still didnt want to try it again.

100% underrated because people pass up on it cause of all the bad press it got at the beginning. It's a whole new game compared to them.

Yeah NW is so underrated for how good it is

Console players are pretty forgiving for action MMOs

Man, i put in so many hours into new world thinking it would be made into what i consider a good mmo, and it just hasn't. Everytime I look at all the time i spent on it hoping for future updates to change the massive flaws, I now just get mad that i spent that time there and not doing something better.

Combat is unchangingly bad, endgame is still nonexistent, and pvp is weird and pointless. If amazon never addresses these, they will continue to be incapable of maintaining any sort of respectable playerbase.

I have just shy of 2k hours, leveled 3 characters and geared out 2 of them, and have played on and off since day 1. The re-release is cool but everything literally got worse, movement and animations are weird, awkward and clunky, the UI is massive and obnoxious. I think console players or people who havent played the game will have an incredible time playing but Elly made some very good points. Character design and skins are HORRENDOUS, imo they have YET to release a single REALLY good skin, transmog is 100x better than any shop skin. The clunkyness of the game has gotten worse…. how?? idk.

I love new world but the game is chalked. With that being said I WOULD suggest everyone still play the game bc its some of the most fun ive ever had playing games in my life. Thank you Elly for all your reviews <3
