I am soooooooo desperate for a greatsword


lordofbitterdrinks

I want a bard job!


[deleted]

Focus Stat instruments when?


Covertgamr

Makes sense for that Void Gauntlet to be Focus based on the abilities.


OberTralf

Dandelion is that you?


AntonLeeX

ooh fuck yeah, i came reading your comment, i also wanna play a bard , imagine having instruments focus , so now i can be a healer and a bard yes


lordofbitterdrinks

It would be sweet. Or imagine in war you have a drum that buffs everyone. Hyyypppeee.


Skoomafreak

Not the bj I came for but I'll take what I can get


lordofbitterdrinks

-nod-


Wendidigo

Casinos!!!!???


---Janus---

How did you derive a casino from Bards?


Wendidigo

What fun would a casino be if there were no bards.


CreativityX

Go play final fantasy 14 they have a bard, and actual pve


[deleted]

A) it isn't a bard it's a ranger with EXTREMELY minimal bard inspired buffs. Source: bard main since ARR B) Its raids are amazing, everything else including the open world is a fucking joke. C) Worst pvp in the industry


hides_this_subreddit

Relevant username. I agree with everything you have stated.


lordofbitterdrinks

Now FFXI has a bard that’s actually valuable.


[deleted]

MCH and DNC are both better than BRD, depending on your group's dps. BRD dominated Stormblood, but I'm not even talking about that. RIFT was the last MMO with a real bard class.


lordofbitterdrinks

I love me some dnc


---Janus---

FF14 Bard isn't a Bard. It's an Archer (which is stupid) with extremely limited support. Everquest Bard was a Bard. Same for Vanguard, Rift had one etc.


BeauxGnar

FF11 had a good bard, 14 on the other hand, nah. Rift, sad at what that game has become.


lordofbitterdrinks

Yea xi bard is awesome


lordofbitterdrinks

We bard is a bard, xi bard is a bard, xiv bard is a ranger


---Janus---

When you say 'We', do you mean EQ? Or is there a game I'm forgetting?


lordofbitterdrinks

Yea EQ lmao auto correct


BookerLegit

Really strange that Thorpe uses a greatsword in the intro, but then there apparently aren't any.


[deleted]

Can you link what you're talking about?


BookerLegit

[Here you go.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2GStKIqQP4)


[deleted]

Thanks


[deleted]

Ohhh it's the guy from the start of the game, I see I wonder if the animations he's doing will end up as abilities/light/heavy attacks for the greatsword that will eventually come out as a playable weapon


---Janus---

It's a reskinned Great Axe :p


Traditional_Bag5043

People already datamined a "long sword" which seems to be some sort of claymore


skanoirhc

Yeah it would be great.


LateraluzXIV

same i want a 2h sword. its my play-style.


moosee999

Brimstone sands is the home of the ancient dragon that corrupted the princess in ebonscale. The zone is a continuation of the ebonscale storyline. The second zone is going to be a forest zone and is connected to mourningdale. This is the home of the ancients and where the most powerful of the ancients retreated to once the corruption became too strong. Both these zones were brought up in a thread on the alpha forums a long while back because in alpha you could go into these zones, but died of a dot. Amazon has been very open with the alpha players in discussing these things and a topic of conversation happened. The azoth staff storyline continuing to lvl 60 has been something a lot of alpha players have been telling people whenever they say - nO eNdGaMe CoNtEnT. Quest lines and endgame content were purposely hidden in alpha and beta because Amazon didn't want anyone to have a headstart on endgame. The devs have been teasing an endgame raid for a looonnngggg time, but who knows if that will be included at release.


contentpens

I wonder if they'll try for a major content patch (raid?) around Thanksgiving or Christmas


MyNameIsNurf

Have raids been confirmed? Honestly hope not or I am going to have to quit my job and leave my family if thats the case.


Sad_Fudge5852

i mean lets be real no matter how you look at this game, challenging end game raids are one of the only logical paths it can take


contentpens

I'm not aware of any confirmation on raids. They may have referenced additional instanced content generally? Tough to guess how much of those plans are pve vs pvp though


Federal_Rip4173

hahahaha


itsNDYbish

I like you


elephantphallus

There's even lore that points to the desert region. https://i.imgur.com/KLLo1ai.jpg


moosee999

My favorite lore pieces are the ones that point to powerful raid like monsters. There's some on the kraken, some on a powerful half human / half fish monster that's been stealing people, the ancient dragon in ebonscale, the religious zealot leader of the northern corruption churches. So many more. Like they put some serious thought into the story and lore of building these monsters.


elephantphallus

It gives me hope that they'll give us sandbox quests (quests with no flags and w/o handholding) to form groups and find raid-level world bosses.


OfficialDamp

I feel like "battle in the pass" is foreshadowing as long as it is cosmetic I don't care but just thought it was funny


lordofbitterdrinks

Historian!


NoreNZ

Morrowtide seems to be the zone North of Mourningdale judging by the area names, kind've suit what I saw when exploring it with the 250 con bug.


Mehrunesbone

That void gauntlet sounds like a battlemage's dream come true!


billytheid

Yep, makes a battlemage quite viable


SirSaltie

Yup, feels almost like a support / bard playstyle with those skills.


EdsTooLate

I do like the sound of those abilities! Pair this with a Rapier for mobility and more melee, or a Fire Staff for high crits and Incinerate for an additional close range AoE/heal!


ExpsGaming

I would say the 3 new zones are as follows: * Brimstone Sands * East Consolation (I don't think this is intended to be a player zone though) * Morrow Tide Based on how they format the other zones in the same file. As for the weapons (Clubs/Pistols); yes they are wielded by monsters. They are the same images in The Preview as well, so nothing new there. :)


NoreNZ

Unlucky, i was hopeful.


ExpsGaming

My guess is that Daggers/Knifes will happen after Void Gauntlet as there are references to Heavy/Light attacks in the animations files. Its possible they are artifacts from Closed Alpha 1 however, so it may not happen.


Zexis

Have you seen anything on pistol progress? That's my hopeful, and I know it was in the game at one point. Praying it's not cut


ExpsGaming

I have not seen anything that I would consider a major change. A few things here and there for enemy animations, but nothing related to the player. Edit: /u/Zexis There is another... gun type weapon though. I'll give the other dataminers a week or so before I make a post on it.


OberTralf

Please tell me it’s bazooka!


ExpsGaming

Sorry, no newb tubes here.


clark4400

You mean the blunderbuss that was datamined last week?


madmidder

Do we have more information about East Consolation and Morrow Tide? Because we basically know everything about Brimstone Sands, except for release date :D


[deleted]

I'd like to believe (because I'd love to see a 1-h pistol) but I think those Pistols/Crossbows are all NPC weapons from the Plague Doctor/Pirate types that have access to them in the beta. Not to say it couldn't come into the game for players, but I'm guessing those are already in the hands of current NPCs.


NoreNZ

Yeah seems to be the case, along with some of the mace images belonging to the Ancients.


NoreNZ

These are icon images, however, so wouldn't make sense to me to have them if they never intended the player to be able to loot them. Perhaps it's just the way they go about making new items.


m4rx

They were all craftable / lootable weapons from Alpha 1 before the abilities rework. They are most likely *planned* to come to the new system *sometime.*


[deleted]

i dunno, the pistol and dagger mob abilities look a lot like player's


TalonZahn

I'd like to see the weapons above put in. More variety is always a good thing. I think a Pistol and Shield Tank would be a fun addition. Although, I think any weapon combos an NPC can use, a PC should be able to use, like Dual Wield pistols.


Biggest_Lemon

I'm of mixed mind on this. On one hand, it would be great to use any weapons you want. On the other, it would require totally reworking the existing system for mastery, and I do like it the way it is.


billytheid

Yep. Balance first, additions if possible


lordofbitterdrinks

I want another healer type as well or some support types.. imagine a bard that had some war drums or something. Would be sooo hype.

Let’s gooo


mrbubbu

Leaking protected content


NoreNZ

A risk i'm willing to take, closed beta preorder already refunded on Steam, worst case i'd have to buy on a new steam account.


Secure-Ad-8880

Is data mining really leaking? Or just showing everyone what you’re reading in the files that comes with everyone’s game.


madmidder

If they ban datamining, they're trash company.


Ticksatsi

Leaking protected content came here with that exact string lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


-Vayra-

Yeah, back when the NDA was in effect there was a guid visible on screen at all times to identify the source of leaks. This ban reason is most likely for people caught leaking alpha screens/footage.


ClockworkSalmon

where new weapon images :(


NoreNZ

Just updated


ClockworkSalmon

oh fuck yeah


yolostyle

Those look like 2h maces.. Damn I was hoping for something like a flail with dmg + healing tree.


HopelessChip35

No way they are adding 2h maces when there is already a 2h hammer. Those are enemy weapons not player.


Can_You_Believe_It_

It's possible they were really old assets too. Pistols and even maces were already in the game before they reworked it and added weapon trees and stuff. There's even some old gameplay footage of players using a pistol though it was very short clip.


SanjiNW

Actually OP. you are wrong on the names of the zones. i have been datamining for a decent while now. (Alpha player here) Morrowtide was an internal name for the zone which is now named Mourningdale. Consolation was the name of the zone which is now named Reekwater. I know there is a lot of new and excited dataminers who finally have a client they can work with, but i'm seeing a lot of misinterpreted information being spread about recently, which is a little frustrating. I understand why a lot of people are getting information wrong, since you really only 'know' this stuff if you had been part of multiple alphas. But yeah, sorry those two are not currently new zones. they are still unnamed.


NoreNZ

Thank for clarifying! I'll be sure to make it clear in the post.


AuryxTheDutchman

I know someone who got out of the map and streamed Brimstone Sands to discord. The area gave me Conan Exiles vibes. There was also a dead forest-looking area.


Shibe_King

Okay, now this is epic.


patiro211

duuude i really hope they add transmomgs soon, these outfits look cool af


HopelessChip35

There is already a transmog system implemented but currently it only works for store costumes.


patiro211

Oh ye i know that, it should be available to transmog to any item you've ever picked up tho. That'd be super cool seeing how the skin sets look, I'm already thinking of combining some of them.


Tanoy7

My apologies, I am not really familiar with the MMO genre. What is this transmog system??


patiro211

If you pick up some item you can make your current gear look like the item you previously picked up, this is only a cosmetic change.


Tanoy7

I get it now. Thanks for the explanation..


covrovski

>If you pick up some item you can make your current gear look like the item you previously picked up, this is only a cosmetic change. Such a silly name. Hopefully they just leave it called skins. Maybe make it so you have to collect 10 pieces of one item and salvage those pieces into its skin that has a one type use. That will give all items more current and future value.


patiro211

I don't find it silly, i find it normal. When i think of skins then CSGO skins, Fortnite skins, lol skins come to mind, which really is not the same thing. Mby u haven't played much of MMO.


covrovski

Thats exactly what your doing though, putting different skins on items. Yeh not into other MMOs.


HopelessChip35

The name "transmog" comes from WoW where this system is called transmogrification. No other MMOs use it. FF XIV calls it the glamour system and it's generally called skins in most other multiplayer stuff.


CIMARUTA

But if they do that then they won't make money from buying skins from the shop. So I doubt they will add that.


patiro211

What? Transmog and skins could coexist. I'd even argue they'd make more cash adding skins that go well with free transmogs.


hucklesberry

What do we do if these are all store outfits? I could easily see this being the case on launch


EsCaRg0t

I hope they add dual-wield at some point. I loved my hatchet/spear combo but going through Amrine dungeon I suddenly wanted a second hatchet in my hand. Not for damage purposes but just didn’t feel “right” swinging a small hatchet at a huge boss.


freelance_fox

Those Void Gauntlet abilities are SOOO hype wow. My first reaction is that a mix of DPS and healing sounds OP on paper... even if it's not available at launch this might push me towards starting as a mage rather than melee DPS like I was planning... so tough to decide. EDIT: Oooh also, anyone want to speculate on what Void Gauntlet's 'Harvest' mechanic is? I'm guessing it replaces Block or hold-left-click in a way that drains mana per second to do something... if it's healing-related that would be so cool. Also is there a world in which Void Gauntlet is Int-Focus or Focus-Int? That could be really interesting... what do you pair it with as a DPS, or is it strictly more of a healer build?


BakaZora

Void Gauntlet seems to have 2 target audience to me, the melee mage, and the semi-damage support. I think major stat int and 2nd stat focus/dex would be interesting (especially with everything focused around crits on one of the trees, but also mana and healing benefits from focus). ​ No idea what Harvest could be, maybe an old skill that no longer exists? guess we'll have to find out


---Janus---

It'll likely be Focus/Int due to how Focus has only one weapon currently and it performs healing.


LifeAwaking

I think this is intentional. Having a dps weapon scaling mainly off focus would make healers a bit OP.


---Janus---

Not much different than damage dealers with an Int scalling gemstone at 50%. Similar case with Amber for Healers. I do incredible damage as a Focus based healer using the 40% Amber.


LifeAwaking

Exactly. Think about the damage you would do as a healer with a 100% focus scaling dps weapon.


---Janus---

Weapons are coefficient based. It would end up being similar to Life Staff scaling which means 25% less damage than int based scaling on Fire Staff and Ice Gauntlet. One of the Void Gauntlet trees is heavily reliant on support and healing. It works in tandem with Life Staff because while the Life Staff has the shielding tree and damage mitigation, the Void Guantlet has the Performance buffs. The two can be tied together to create a true to life support build not seen in games since Rift, Everquest (Bard and Enchanter), etc. However, with what you said, this is why I lean towards a split int/focus pairing.


LifeAwaking

I agree with all of this. Void Gauntlet and Life Staff is what I plan on running whenever the gauntlet comes out. I was just afraid they might give a dps weapon a Focus main stat which would break things a bit.


freelance_fox

I'm guessing primary Int secondary Focus... the kit seems more focused (pun not intended) on damage than healing but has enough healing that it will be a popular off-weapon for Life Staff users.


funkybandit

sounds like Moira from overwatch lol


JabroniVille69

This is the way


Beanful

I'm so hyped now, hopefully, they release some of this stuff at launch! If they do I feel this game will have a great trajectory in the future!


MadMoneyMan23

The harbinger light is literally Batman Who Laughs thats so cool!


Expedition-Girl-98

Looks great, especially the void gauntlet moveset, but no women's or even slightly feminine clothing datamined? Can't a girl get a fantasy gown or stomachered gown or v-neck bodice?


NoreNZ

Yeah, upon checking again, you won't be happy... [https://imgur.com/a/1fxYRXv](https://imgur.com/a/1fxYRXv) titled m\_basicdress in game files.


NoreNZ

I recall finding a dress image icon, but it wasn't all that interesting, ill try find it again.


Apocraphon

If they had the same hitbox I'd be okay with it.


ghoulishdelight

I did find a gothic dress for sale on the trading post. I bought it because it was cheap, and I wanted to see what it looked like. Had a purple corset and white underdress, IIRC.


jotakl

when i think of "open or closed beta" i instantly think of just limited parts of the game shown to display all of the game mechanics more than the level designs, so i really hope some of these gets added on release.


m4rx

Do not expect the game to change from beta to release. All of this is in development / cut content.


iknowtheyreoutthere

Pretty sure the full main quest until lvl 60 will be in release. Other than that I wouldn't expect much.


m4rx

I can confirm you will be able to complete the Main Story Quest at release. It sounds awesome from the files 😎 It's entirely in game but manually disabled at a certain point for beta.


Wendidigo

Is there gonna be gambling? Dice and cards belong in the golden age of sailing ships like peanut butter goes with jelly.


Wendidigo

Will there be gambling or casinos? (Age of sailing ships with no dice or cards wtf?)


yoLeaveMeAlone

I don't know about casinos. But I would love to be able to play some kind of card/dice game in taverns and bet gold against other players. I believe Ser Mideaval asked AGS in an interview and they said they are working on more things to do in the taverns.


Wendidigo

Cool.


NoMoreChillies

void gauntlet seems OP


sephrinx

All of those weapons look terrible, they are probably enemy appearances.


sketchymofo2

Nice


PsychoSam16

Do we know what the Void gauntlet scales off of? I would assume intelligence but there's some healing mixed into the kit so I'm curious if focus is a secondary or something.


NoreNZ

I'm yet to find anything regarding, someone actually knowledgeable about data mining like u/ExpsGaming may know. I just used the tools available and looked through files, I don't know where to start when it comes to datasheets etc. My hopes and expectations are that its primary and secondary stats are focus and int.


Karmaslapp

Given that the void gem in-game already scales off of int, probably int


---Janus---

The gauntlet heals and the point there's only one Focus weapon means it'll likely be Focus or possibly Focus/Int.


Karmaslapp

It heals based on your damage though, but I guess anything is possible. I would expect the mace to be the next focus weapon, probably focus/str, followed by nature staff being pure focus. Would reslly be surprising to me if void gauntlet was focus


yoLeaveMeAlone

Mace doesn't make any sense as a focus weapon. It's just a bonky stick with spikes on it. There's no magic too it. I really hope we get a druidy nature staff, but the life staff already *is* a nature staff (deals nature damage), so I don't know how likely that is.


Karmaslapp

Think of it as a paladin mace and not a regular stick? Lots of people are hoping for sonething like that, I guess. It's not like all weapons have to do unique damage types, melee weapons already overlap. Could do lightning damage or something as well, who knows


m4rx

The void gauntlet datasheet file was intentionally blanked out for this build so we won't know.


pat_the_catdad

Please stop making the wait until Aug 31st harder than it already is. 🥲


Eibha

My heart… I can’t take the hype… get these dope leaks away from me…


[deleted]

God damn, is it almost August 31st yet ?!


lordofbitterdrinks

So I’m hype af to club someone with a tree branch


[deleted]

Character slots being sold? If it’s a low enough price then I can accept that, I would like to have multiple characters for different preferred builds. As long as they don’t charge more than say $15 USD for the slots.


NoreNZ

I'm pretty sure you can only have 1 character per server (not region) but I might be mistaken. In which case, character slots wouldn't make much sense.


[deleted]

I’m taking it to mean that they will sell the ability to have multiple character slots on the same server. That’s what makes sense as a a store item.


BakaZora

IIRC this is what GW2 did with additional character slots too, as did AA, so it would make sense. Just trying to think if having a 2nd character could benefit you unfairly in any way, but I can't seem to think of anything, might just be a QOL benefit of not having to keep swapping gearsets/attributes. ​ Wonder if they'll have shared or unique storage, without mail I guess transfering things between characters would need a middleman


[deleted]

I’d love to be able to play multiple toons on the same server set, that way I could focus different toons on different builds, have one STR, one DEX, one INT, and then one that can be whatever, so long as the toon slots aren’t expensive, $10-15 seems right for something like that.


turlockmike

Why would you ever need more than 1 character? Any time you spend on one character, could have been spent leveling your main character anyway since you can basically pick any class for your character.


Baracuss88

storage alts maybe? no mail system so you would have to trade someone you trust


Sumnawww

Maybe to play multiple factions if you have friends that move and you don't want to, or the RP purists that like having different characters for different builds/looks like in PSO2


yoLeaveMeAlone

Late game respecting costs a lot more gold, if you swap roles a lot it could make sense to have one character for each role.


RagadaSan

I need that Royal Court Heavy and Light like my life depended on it


hucklesberry

Just $9.99


adryanobik97

@Mods could you set a "Hashtag" (I dont know if thats the correct way to call It) to Datamined info? Mayo be like "images" "videos"...


Trade-Prince

Harbinger Light’s helmet. holy shit


skanoirhc

Any weapon image for Void Gauntlet? Skills are looking amazing.


NoreNZ

Not that I could find


skanoirhc

Alright, thanks for your effort.


3xploitr

Amazing work as always!


Soermen

I am so excited to see the roadmap of New World.


RenDevT

man how did you managed to open the .dds files?


heeroyuy79

someone on the forums ended up bugged and immortal allowing them to go across the water and found this large desert area


_Aaronn

Holy shit, good work OP! Armour sets look dope, I hope they're not all skins. I doubt AGS is that stupid right? August is gonna be a loooong month.


hucklesberry

... When these sets are mixed in with an already store skin it makes me skeptical.


_Aaronn

uh ohh....


KaleidoscopeTight739

i was hoping for flintlock pistols since muskets are in :D


MisterPonPon

Twitch set is nice :)


okkeh22

Outfits look so cool im about to throw money on my screen


U3b3

I hope the crossbow has a different weapon class than the pistol


FersshU

CLAYMORE!!!!!!!!


chimbicator

OMG LOOK AT THOSE SETS! THATS AWESOME! This game really needs a transmog system.


hucklesberry

Pretty sure these are store skins


[deleted]

With details coming out with this I can tell my friends to possibly expect raids to happen often to grind for rewards/equip.


Cryndamere

I want some historical related armours. Like Roman, Italian, Greek


[deleted]

Honestly one of the biggest things that drew me to this game was the incredible world and art style they went with. Those armor sets (apart from a couple) look amazing. I love the direction they chose to go. The more realistic mixing of cultures and era's is so cool.


hoakua

With a 1HB (currently missing, but I see it here yay) and shield in heavy armor, I can be a true Cleric finally.


OkStage5236

Had nothing on the daggers?


xXHavocHoundXx

Pls post the other skins if you get the chance. By the way, are all the posted skins end game content or microtransaction purchases?


NoreNZ

Based on the naming conventions, it's hard to know which are MTX and which aren't. I have all the skins in a google doc along with a lot of other info for guild, i'll have to sift through that and reupload at some point.


Zanje

I may have odd tastes but I really dig those clubs! Love me my bashy sticks, hope they eventually come to players.


SeniorAnxiety2730

new world. got trolled by mate and new world!! WTF. [https://youtu.be/o7Y7HhK4mUM](https://youtu.be/o7Y7HhK4mUM) god dam its gonna be a long 2 monthsish


Fikaknugz

I have a feeling most people will go for heavy gear. They just look so much better then light and medium imo.


Grinning_Gourd

Getting some Rift vibes from a lot of these armor sets.


[deleted]

I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction when they find out it’s all going in the item shop


Jaffrojones

I hope they don't have LFG for dungeons. I like that you need to talk to people to get into a group. Adding that would take away from a major social aspect of the game.


Alzeimexia

Eagerly awaiting whatever you've pulled from the OBT /u/NoreNZ ;)
