Interesting new Open World MMO from Amazon Games Studio, released end of March this year.
I, for one, will be keeping my eye on this one.

I'm waiting for the beta to open next month, it looks like it might be a fun game.   We should coordinate on server etc when it launches.

With covid et al everything is delayed at the moment, so New World is still in closed alpha.  
Closed beta kicks off in July and I'm hoping to get an invite to try it out at that point.  
The scheduled release date has been delayed until August 25th.

In the meantime you can read more about  it here:

My understanding is that we should choose the same faction.

I cannot find any information if faction choice is account bound or character bound, or even if we can roll other characters!
I would imagine there is probably some faction lock .... hopefully an option to change factions will be in as well.

If this is the case we could do a vote to see which faction people want to play as and then go from there, least it keeps us together. :)

So we are infact limited to one character per server to satifsy the faction lock.
Which means TL is right - we need to pick a server, but we also need to pick a faction.

I don't have enough information on any to make an informed choice .... i hope the beta is big and open enough so we can experience all 3 and then decide.

Nice to see people getting excited for this!
QuoteOnce you choose a Faction, you are free to create or join a Company in your chosen Faction. Choosing a Faction shouldn’t be taken lightly, as your decision will be locked. That’s why you have the opportunity to explore the game and the social landscape on the server before you make your decision.

This makes me think that switching will not be possible at all.

Quite a jump, they really must have made a mess of this to have to push it back so far so late in the roadmap. Sort of makes me wonder if they'll keep up the momentum or just try to get it out the door an move on. Refund, timer alert...

They seem to be lacking sufficient middle and end game content according to what I read.  Whatever the reason, it's disappointing.

With the open beta and launch being pushed back I think they felt the need to give people 'something' to feel positive about.....

Quote from: AmazonAs a thank you to our community, we will be providing a special opportunity for our Beta sign-up customers through July 9th and all pre-order customers (plus our Alpha testers, thank you!) to play the full game of New World - in its current state, for a limited period of time starting on 25 August. In preparation for that event, we will be bringing our current Alpha test down on 12 July. We will send an email directly to those customers detailing the process to participate.
- The New World Team
It will be an interesting opportunity to see how developed (or otherwise) the game is and what it feels like.

Post by: Nootrishus on July 13, 2020, 10:41:18 AM
From my understanding, the game was meant to be a PvP open world game; where you drop items when you die etc.  This didn't hit well with initial testing groups and the heads decided to cater to the PvE crowd and pivot away from the PvP focus. The problem was, they didn't have enough PvE content or endgame ready.

Seems pretty respectable that they have decided to delay it that long, when they could have pulled an EA and released it in the state Anthem was...
Title: New World
Post by: Twyst on July 13, 2020, 04:50:20 PM
I will be trying out what they have for sure as I'm sure many others will on August 25th.

My personal beef with my current MMO's - GW2, ESO and Star Citizen - is that they *all* have performance issues in that it doesn't matter if you have a potato or a super computer, the game still runs like a dog at times.
It they can solve that then I'm a happy player.

I'm not that hopeful though as they use Amazons LumberYard engine, the same as Star Citizen, where the PU is totally unplayable for me. Game says +60fps, feels like 5fps.

So, anyone who has pre-ordered the game can install the "Confidential Test" from steam. Its live tonight from 10pm and is on to stress test the servers.
I've already got it downloaded and yea, no worlds to join. So I'll be looking at 10pm to join one and see what it's all about.

I think it's the full game as it currently stands.

Title: New World
Post by: Twyst on August 01, 2020, 12:55:59 PM
This is a public forum and the desnity test is still bound by NDA so I can't say too much.

What I can say is that the game is visually stunning. In terms of graphical fidelity for a MMO it looks better than anything else on the market, bar Star Citizen. The difference is that this is actually playable and the latter isn't (for me anyway). From a technicall perspective the frame rate variance was negligable on my AMD 3600 + Vega64 LC @ 1440p UW. Everything on "High" I was pulling around 50fps regardless of what was on screen - could be a brick wall, could be 30 players. That's quite impressive compared to other titles which suffer noticeable frame rate drop the more players there are. The only downside is that a 2021 game (launch pushed back a year) isn't maxing my cores - only 50% CPU usage.

US East coast servers are the only ones up - they started with 7 servers now they have 12. On the main screen it says my ping is 150-300ms, in game it's like 120ms. This is very playable across the world and shows the power of Amazons servers. The game looks like it's designed to cope with new servers being spun up/down as needed.

I've yet to see anything remotely endgamish and sadly it doesn't look like I'll be able to experience the PvP side which I was really looking forward to.
What there is to do in the game is very highly polished. If I view this "Density test" as a MMO launch, it's the smoothest one I've ever seen. Am looking forward to the beta test end of August.

US EAST is better than it was during the load test a month or so back, that was west coast, the ping is like 120ish, vs 70ish on EU.  The markers they show during server selection don't reflect ingame that i've seen so far anyhow.  In game feels no different to me, seems their net code is pretty good.  Though i ended up playing more conan lastnight :p  did get to lvl7 in NW.

Not a great fan of the amount of corpse stealing going on at the moment.  Kill something, and somebody else then collects the crafting stuff.  There ought to be a short timer or something to give exclusivity to the combat tagger imo.   I remember the same thing happening in WoW, and it was annoying then too!

I gave it 90 minutes of my evening and must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The performance was great, it looks very nice. Given the number of players in towns etc. no stuttering or strange stuff happening.

I'm not sure why it is being delayed, content perhaps, but I feel that is something that can be added as the game matures. Certainly felt as good if not better than the other quality open world surivival games out there.

I worked my way to level 8 and could have kept going, but decided to stay below that magic 2 hour mark.

It appears that bar a global pandemic, this game will finally launch on 31 August 2021.  Been looking at some late beta streams and it is looking good.

Free Twitch Prime armour skin drop:
Go here:
https://www.newworld.com/en-us/twitch-drops
Do stuff and then watch at least one hour of any New World streams.  
After an hour of watching, check your Twitch inventory and claim your 'Golden Rage Armor Skin' - which apparently looks pretty cool.

Watch more, get the armour drop too.

You're welcome. :)

Indeed, thanks, also getting me watching a few streams of the game, which is looking rather pretty I must say.

So who is planning on jumping in on this day 1?

I don't know about everyone else but I fee a bit disconnected after all these months of not moving around, finally and ironically, the UK are letting us back in if vaccinated from the 1st of August. Then the Dutch and half of Europe are implementing mandatory isolation and 3 tests to get back to NL :angry:.


If you be nice to have a group of dMw'ers to enjoy this with since a) it's an MMO style so there are companies so a way to stay connected. b) since it might have a bit of a lifespan and keep more people interested than the average new game. (not meaning to curse it!!)

I checked, there's no Dead Men or dMw Companies right now. Perhaps if anyone has closed beta access they can go on there and create Dead Men Walking?

Post by: albert on July 29, 2021, 09:10:04 AM
I'm not sure how good an idea it is to try to max out your graphics for this, I capped mine at 60fps simply because most of the beginning is PvE. I suppose you could look at the benchmarks for certain rigs and determine if 6fps is possible, certainly the game doesn't need First Person multiplayer performance, there's no latency dsiadvantage at least early on.

I've been playing on a 970 with everything set to High. It can take a while to load and when I first jump in I'm stood in a world waiting for assest to load, but once it's caught up it seems to run ok for the most part. Can get stuttery when you come to the settlements.

I'm seeing a lot of websites popping up with lists of companies. The how to says you have to join a faction first and with others in a faction can create a company. I picked Biringan just because it was the recommnded one, I assume if we want to play this together at least we have to be on the same server so perhaps that decision can be made nearer the time and published on the forums?

As a test I started the company creation process and it complained "deadmen walking" already existed. I didn't go much further trying to find an alternative.

 I'm curently on EU Andromeda in the Syndicate faction, no companies listed with that name that I could access. I can't tell at what level (Region, Server, Faction etc) company names need to be unique, but worth someone getting in earlier with the preferred name.

I've also read that there has been issues with naming characters/orgs in general as their algorithmic rules are a bit restrictive.

You need to be in a faction (and at least lvl 10) before you can create a company. I would assume in this case, all companies will get wiped for release.

I was hoping to join Baggins_tv twitch streamer, been chatting to him a fair bit and he streams New World a lot.. he's going to announce nearer the release time what server, but atm they have about 40-50 people joining them but companies can hold 100 so more than enough room for all.

might be going Covenant on the Fae server at launch... just don't think DMW will be able to get enough people in game for us to much as a company.

Hi gang,

I will likely be playing on Asgard with my WoW guildies, we have a group of 15 or so confirmed so far, you are all more than welcome to join. We've yet to confirm a faction yet but it is looking like Syndicate. I appreciate you guys will want a Dead Men Walking company so if we can all agree on a server, I can then try and persuade a few to sign up to forums and the likes.

I'd be very keen to see us all playing on the same server.

Even better if we make some new friends along the way.

I've seen Asgard and Fae mentioned as servers in the last few posts.

So how do we choose one? Poll? Chime in please, those of you who will be playing!

Honestly, no opinion on server. I'll follow the crowd.

Is there a list of server names? Or is everyone assuming the beta names will be the same at release ?

I'm on Biringan but only because it was the recommended server for lowest latency when I started out, quite a few Polish folks on here so language is sometimes an issue.

 Asgard sounds nice, given Jewlez and his 15 buddies are already going there.

How many possible people could you end up playing with on Fae @Gunda?

As much as I hate to agree with this guy and gunda, I feel we either need to do massive recruitment or join with another set of guys.  I'll be playing...(how much I'm unsure of with work and family I'm unsure of) but it'll Def need a decent size company to achieve the most we can in the game.  I'm happy with going with general census of others of what they wish to do

Looking at the way bigger companies operate in the game (and I am by no means an expert), I see settlements and towns goverened by companies. The servers in beta have maybe 12 regions each with 2 settlements or towns. as there are 3 factions, each region will be purple, green or yellow based on faction. A small company can contribute to a regional takeover on maintaining control of one by simple being there and working to contribute.

I think that is a part of the game that is less appealing, it's like power play in Elite. If we're playing together as a group, even 3 or 4 it is far more fun to take on missions, dungeons and work through the story than 1 person alone. I'm not saying it cannot be done but even at level 15, killing off Ghouls (White floaty things than float above the ground) which are probably the first creature that is super tough to kill alone, are in mobs in missions. We need friends to get through this stuff. Or join pubbys.

I am really looking forward to this having played the Beta a bit.

I've been reliably informed (thanks Gunda) that Asgard is a Russian server, we won't be heading there then.
Title: New World
Post by: Chaosphere on August 05, 2021, 03:10:51 PM
Ha, yes that's a no go then.

Would be great to find a UK / European English server that we can all join?
Title: New World
Post by: Gunda on August 05, 2021, 03:25:48 PM
Its not that it is a Russian server, i'd just seen a streamer who when talking about the EU servers he specifically said i think alot of russian streamers are picking Asgard so "we" (meaning his community) would be avoiding that one.
Title: New World
Post by: BrotherTobious on August 05, 2021, 03:27:06 PM
Yeah that would be best I think, as it seems from some of the reviews I have seen, it is a social run game.  Looking forward to the sitting at OB's brewhouse.

Ha! "Alliance" ....cos.... WoW.....


I'm up for this game as well! I have two more IRL friends who are looking to buy it and very likely a couple more of their friends as well. I think it's good to join forces with your guild mates, as there seems to be a focus on "strength in numbers" in the game.
Title: Faction selection
Post by: Sixthor on August 13, 2021, 09:11:09 AM
I've seen quite a few videos from streamers, youtubers, etc, and the factions seem to be more or less set already in how they compare size wise. Everyone seems to be in agreement that Marauders and Syndicate will be the largest ones and Covenant the smallest. People seem to think that the Marauders will be the largest one, but it will vary from server to server. As factions control areas and thereby decide on upgrades to work stations, get bonuses and stuff, it is kinda rubbish to be in the smallest one. If Jewelz's mates were thinking Syndicate, I'm all for that. They also have a good look to their gear. :)

Chat in Baggins_tv community they are probably going Syndicate on launch too, server is yet to be decided.

Are people planning to go to a specific start area to meet up or just just play where they spawn ?
Title: New World

You can't choose the specific starting area, only server.

We will be heading to Fae (server), and looking like Syndicate- but this is decided later, by level 10.

So are the good Doctor said we can’t really choose where we spawn sadly ( not couldn’t in the beta Anyway). There is 4 starting locations that you can start in at random. We will put up a forum page when the game is out so people can see who they have spawned near. There is apparently a way to manipulate the spawn you get but I am not sure if this is possible in the full game or not. I will just play the spawn I get and heal who ever is lucky enough to join me there :D

We tested this yesterday:
When you get the quest from the beach tower NPC to go to whatever town is nearby ("Storm on the Horizon"), turn that quest in but DO NOT accept the next one.
If you open your map, you'll notice the quest is available at all starter towns. While this doesn't alleviate the travel for some players, you and your group can decide where you want to end up and sync the quests early on the game.

It might be worth someone starting a new thread with the server/faction/starting location (can be updated on the day) and information about how to get to the same starting location. I feel it will get lost in here.

At least Cyberpunk 2077, No Man's Sky etc let you actually play their games. Even Star Citizen can get past it's load screen. :norty:

I sailed in just under the two hour refund limit of which almost all of that was quick log ins to confirm the queue was north of a thousand. I might come back to this in the future if it ever gets sorted. I can understand smaller companies struggling with server loads and resources during a larger than expected launch, but Amazon has near limitless resources and engineering skill. So it boggles me how than managed to so utterly mess this up. Seems they can't do everything and can add 'MMO launches' to 'space ship launches' as things Amazon can't do :D
