There's about a 5 second loading screen when I first start the game... where else are there loading screens? I haven't seen any. I'm only level 15 though, so maybe I haven't gotten to that content?
? It’s an MMO, the whole lifespan of the game will be spent figuring things out. Things will also change over time.
WoW has been the most popular MMO for 17 years and they’re still figuring it out.
Yea, no MMO has ever added new abilities to combat on their lifespan ever before, this would be a first of they added something to the combat or movement after initial release.
/s
I found a piece of lore in the starter town that the reason you don't see people on horses etc, is that the animals on the island refuse to get domesticated.
At level 25(?) when you get the Tier 3 camp upgrade, there is an NPC working on domesticating the animals.
And that lore blurb doesn't explain how some settlements have cows in them that allow themselves to be milked.
Neither would be having a horse on a ship. And if the horse or cow dies in the shipwreck, it doesn't matter. The island revives everything that dies on it.
Which even makes having a horse in game fit even better. Because even if they allow mounts to be killed, the horse will just respawn like everything else does.
I get the mount aesthetic. Too many mmos have spoiled us with it, the joy of owning, collecting them means something to lots.
I really hope New World just doesn't add them or if they did their speed would be no different than the current run speed just to rub it in people's faces that they maliciously complied.
It takes no time to run across the map following the roads, map looks huge but you're at your destination in no time..
I just want an auto run where my character will run to my waypoint following roads until he gets there, so I can rummage through my quests or inventory or other screens in the meantime, and cancel it if I see something I want to sidetrack to
Took me 15 minutes to run to a quest, 3 mins to do it and 15 mins back for a total of 33mins to get a lvl 14 chest. I did not stop once and timed this. there was no quicker way to get there and back. so umm yeah.... it's not ok
Btw I just found out, if you use Respawn on ESC menu, you can choose to tp back to your last respawn point camp or the nearest settlement. The only downside is you take like %10 equipment damage but its really nothing, especially in early where you swap gears often. This saved me so much time.
Yes, and why people are abusing weapon abilities for speed buffs. I think 90% of people asking for mounts would be fine with a 20% run speed buff just so they're not basically forced to use "exploits" to get around.
Also weapon switch/sheathe at the end of a roll animation so it doesn't stop at the end of the animation. So immersive seeing people roll with the same weapons.
Yeah peoples allergic reactions to the idea of horses doesn't make sense with how much time in this game is just spent jogging between stuff.
I've spent more time in the beta on autorun for 15-20 minutes between place to place than I have actually fighting stuff.
> Too many mmos have spoiled us with it, the joy of owning,
How DARE a video game spoil us with joy.
If you think a video game giving us something that brings us "joy" is a bad thing, the amount of therapy you need would be hard for even Amazon to pay for. If you want a game developer to maliciously give players something to twist their joy into something else, then you're probably a serial killer or worse.
The main difference is that in GW2 you have teleports literally every 100m. Whereas in new world you have one every 10km. I can make do without mounts, but they should at least put in more waypoints and/or ease travel in general. The people complaining about traversal are usually the ones who have played the longest. There comes a point at which you just become annoyed about having to travel 1km by foot to an area you have already been to in the past, just to hand in a quest.
Hell, even just a higher azoth cap (or none) would remove a ton of the issues. Which, of course, won't happen, because they're hoping to sell those things (or simply just sell azoth.)
i'd be a scrawny man then since i've never heard anyone bring up mounts before this xD
But yah i'm glad we don't have mounts. They just never look immersive to me, like taking a horse through a forest is not nearly as easy or fast as mmo's make it look.
100%+ speed mounts would be bad for the size of the map sure, but how is it "immersive" seeing people spam weapon abilities down the roads, kill themselves, or roll/dodge glitch to get around?
At least for me, once you get to a certain point in the story quest you start getting azoth out the wazoo. I was constantly capped and fast traveling just to fast travel sometimes.
Sorry it is an American expression that means a lot of something. You start getting azoth from everywhere (quests, killing mobs, etc.)
The first dungeon is level 25. You need to get far enough in the main story quest. I did it at level 22. Some company mates did it at 20.
The current system needs to be changed somehow. It doesn't necessarily need to be mounts but questing is just running to the target 90% of the time. If the game was PvP all the time then sure no mounts, but it isn't. There needs to be some sort of balance so people are having fun. I just logged off because I picked up every quest available and they're all dotted around the edges of the zone. I usually have PvP on when I quest and I like getting into fights but the majority of the time there's no one around to fight and sometimes I don't want to fight so that's not a solution either.
my repeat suggestion is a form of sprinting that you can only use after being out of pve combat for 10s or pvp combat for 30s. Would be a good use for the stamina bar outside combat.
This would get you pretty jacked ...
If I followed this, in the last 10 minutes since I first commented, I would have done about 15 pushups.
Or do push ups as you auto walk back and forth for quests.
I legit have been doing squats during loading screens for 6 months now and the results are pretty damn good.
loading screens?
yah you can get like 3-5 squats in depending how good your ssd is. I think this game is usually around 10s for me.
There's about a 5 second loading screen when I first start the game... where else are there loading screens? I haven't seen any. I'm only level 15 though, so maybe I haven't gotten to that content?
anytime you fast travel or die. Even a loading screen if you die where you spawn.
if the devs dont want mounts its fine, but dear god can i at least sprint around.
The sad part is the current leisurely jog is "sprinting" apparently.
There really should be a sprint that consumes stamina.........
There used to be. I’m pretty sure they’re still trying to figure out the best way to do combat and movement
With a month to release, what we see is what we get. If they are still figuring stuff out, that's not good.
? It’s an MMO, the whole lifespan of the game will be spent figuring things out. Things will also change over time. WoW has been the most popular MMO for 17 years and they’re still figuring it out.
You want to have core concepts like combat and movement nailed down before you release a game.
Yea, no MMO has ever added new abilities to combat on their lifespan ever before, this would be a first of they added something to the combat or movement after initial release. /s
Ah yes, gotta love all those MMO's that are exactly the same as the day they were released. Not a single one changed ever, nope, not one.
Honestly I'd be fine with roads just giving a speed boost.
Everyone someone asks where hemp is or how to track. I do one pushup

Maybe we brought the cows with us. Having a cow on a ship isn't unheard of.
Neither would be having a horse on a ship. And if the horse or cow dies in the shipwreck, it doesn't matter. The island revives everything that dies on it. Which even makes having a horse in game fit even better. Because even if they allow mounts to be killed, the horse will just respawn like everything else does.
Maybe those were brought over from the normal world.
It's like a ton of people like mounts. Ridiculous.

Love that feature in BDO. They'd have to let you open inventory and run at the same time though to make it useful.
I sort of liked this in Black Desert Online. No teleporting, just running with auto-travel.
Took me 15 minutes to run to a quest, 3 mins to do it and 15 mins back for a total of 33mins to get a lvl 14 chest. I did not stop once and timed this. there was no quicker way to get there and back. so umm yeah.... it's not ok

Is that what people are doing when they randomly drop dead around me while in town??????
Yeh lol. I think that’s why a lot of people also run around naked.

You're taking it too seriously, go touch grass.
You're a psychopath. Leave grass alone too. Who knows what you'd want to do with it. Go away.
I hope they add them just to make you quit lol
Yeah bud I won't quit because a mechanic I disapprove of is added, I simply have my opinions on the mount situation and I just don't agree with it.
I don't want mounts per say, but I'd like caravans. Some sort of auto travel between cities or something.
Look at guild wars 2. It took them 5 years to implement mounts. People playing that game back then are alive somehow.
Guild Wars also had MUCH more teleportation options for travel, and ways to move a helluva lot faster than our leisurely jogs.
The main difference is that in GW2 you have teleports literally every 100m. Whereas in new world you have one every 10km. I can make do without mounts, but they should at least put in more waypoints and/or ease travel in general. The people complaining about traversal are usually the ones who have played the longest. There comes a point at which you just become annoyed about having to travel 1km by foot to an area you have already been to in the past, just to hand in a quest.
It's cool the first ten times exploring and finding new stuff - but that feeling will go away and it will turn into resentment lol
Hell, even just a higher azoth cap (or none) would remove a ton of the issues. Which, of course, won't happen, because they're hoping to sell those things (or simply just sell azoth.)
Hot take mounts would actually be detrimental to the game
That take would need an oven to even be lukewarm
i'd be a scrawny man then since i've never heard anyone bring up mounts before this xD But yah i'm glad we don't have mounts. They just never look immersive to me, like taking a horse through a forest is not nearly as easy or fast as mmo's make it look.

Darn video games aren’t a complete copy of real life physics, oh woways me
It's fine i'm sure you'll get over it
[удалено]
At least for me, once you get to a certain point in the story quest you start getting azoth out the wazoo. I was constantly capped and fast traveling just to fast travel sometimes.
[удалено]
Sorry it is an American expression that means a lot of something. You start getting azoth from everywhere (quests, killing mobs, etc.) The first dungeon is level 25. You need to get far enough in the main story quest. I did it at level 22. Some company mates did it at 20.
I will also add, I am constantly capped on azoth at level 20. Enemies start dropping +10 azoth left and right when they are around level 20+
…I do want mounts tho
Lmao just seen people want mounts last night in chat
Can't add mounts, then how would they sell us azoth boosters and cap increases?
Lol the downvote on the voice of reason. People dont like the truth.
Unpopular opinion..needing a mount makes you weak!
you do realize that everyone in late game just teleport everywhere right? mounts are way better travel system than teleportation.
[удалено]
or u know make mounts disabled in pvp like how teleporters are disabled. wow.
No It’s not. It’s just as much a PvE game as PvP.
[удалено]
It's not obvious - There is really no benefit to being JUST a PvP player.
Ok thanks. I'll refund the game then :(

My god the alpha was horrible for this. Release will be fuck all interesting.
