Played the Betas and already got bored to tears.

No, thanks, for me.

I've been playing for a few days. I'm currently lvl 18.
It is shallow right out of the gate with character creation and has yet to get better.
Gameplay isn't challenging and it's pretty repetitive. The towns that I have been to all look the same.
The two different zones I've been to you really can't tell the difference. Crafting at first seems ok but no matter what you craft it's the same process.
A rotation of only 3 combat(or magic) moves. I guess there's 6 total if you flip back and forth from weapon to weapon. Maybe I'm missing something.
Yeah it's boring.

I've heard new world is a PVP centric MMO with a paltry amount of PVE content. Sounds "meh" to me.

That said, with reports of the game still killing random GPUs it's not worth the risk. No game is worth risking a video card blowing up, especially now with video cards impossible to get.

2021 and they still haven't figured out how to make MMO draw distance not look like fog soup.
 
As a Anti-New World player because I want Lost Ark to come out ASAP. I will admit New World is better than I expected.

However there are some glaring issues.

First off character design. Whoever designed these hair styles, and models, I cannot understand anyone thinking this is even funny. They are so bad it's a joke. We are talking below indie quality. This isn't for realism factor, these are just dumb.

Secondly, there is zero direction in the game, which is kinda nice. This game feels more like Skyrim/Fall out to me than it does an MMO, I do like the relaxing feeling go explore, not tied down to anything. But this game describes nothing, and that could be frustrating for some.

That being said, the game looks great, it's incredible in some spots, let alone for an MMO, period this game looks fantastic in the environments. Which brings me back to point about the character design and hair models. I just don't get it, it's like they are two completely different games.

Overall the game feels like it came out to early. It feels as if they started the enviormental stuff years ago, then went, wait, we need character models! And put the B team on it.
 
I get a lot of clipping and the timing with pop in detail is all over the place.


Graphics set to highest possible.
 
Game sucks currently.
There's no structure and for me there's nothing pulling me in to play. There's a story I guess but I don't find it engaging.
Tons of repeat quests. It just feels rushed and unfinished.
It's missing the mark for sure.

I loaded up ESO again for the hell of it and started a new guy. It's just engaging right off the start.
 
Played for a couple days a couple months ago -- its just an annoying, boring grindfest. Then I read the rumours of it melting 3080/3090's and uninstalled it.

Those aren't just rumors...and it's melting many other video card types. Seems to be random, but no game is worth that risk.
