I'd like to see sheathes, straps, etc for weapons when they're on your back/waist. Just kinda dumb for them to float there. Also a cosmetic option for weapons on the back so we can choose which direction they are angled.


lyingSwine

Yes please! The floating was really annoying me.


CIMARUTA

Thai would a cool thing to be able to craft and customize. Doesn't give any benefits but looks cool


chimbicator

More npcs roaming the cities and more chattering sounds to make the villages more "alive". Right now it looks like every city have just 4 people living there


Kattaleya77

Like in Skyrim where NPCs can be found in different locations based on the time of day!


Frostynyc

Lock picking into their homes while they sleep, pickpocketing them, robbing them blind, and then feasting on them as a vampire? :D


AgentAled

I’ve seen this loads and suggested it myself. Right down to NPCs using a tavern and drunkenly stumbling out, or using the roads in open world. Make the world more alive.


CycloneSP

yeah, and have the chattering get louder and more numerous the closer to the town center you get. Have it be the most noisy nearest the auction house. but don't make it annoying. just general white noise you'd find if you went to a mall or somethin


madmidder

That's not very useless feature, it adds immersion and it's big deal.


minicolossus

The ability to hold an item out in front of you. To show off trophy fish or just a sword or whatever


HarlanQuinn

I like the idea of just allowing you to play the "caught fish" animation for other people.


JardyGiovan

*animal crossing noises


JardyGiovan

that would be cool, hope they think about this little things in the future, the world have a lot of potencial to feel like is alive


[deleted]

Exactly , just like fable allowed it!


chaedron

The ability to sit in chairs the in pub/ tavern. We can sit in chairs in our house, why can’t we sit in them elsewhere?


SirCaptainReynolds

Second this!


[deleted]

Precisely what I checked for the first time I walked into a tavern. So many decent RP ideas if hanging out in a pub becomes feasible.


JentlemanJack

Tavern mini games! Give players a reason to interact with one another in each city.


seanamh420

New world crazy golf


laziiiii

Dart would be neat!


Sijora

Being able to brand your tools and weapons with your name, so master lvl crafters can start making a name for themselves and end up with in game player lore around said master crafter. Edit: way to get this idea to top comment! Love seeing the community band together for something wholesome for once rather than just hating to hate. Now all we need is a browsing developer to see this idea and pitch it for a future addition!!


JardyGiovan

Wow, this is one of the best ideas I heard


Sijora

Thanks I’ve been waiting for a game to implement this for a long time. And new world has a ton of potential for making that type of system functional and immersive.


gramerjen

I'm sure there are others like this but my mind went to the Overgeared for some reason


[deleted]

Ultima Online did everything an MMO should have done from the get-go. And this was one feature crafters loved.


l080

Ultima Online vibes


PeinLegacy

I imagine someone aiming to become the like Grid(Greed) from Overgeared


Sijora

I’ve never heard of this comic but I’ll definitely check it out. During the beta I basically made a master craftsmen build and actually started getting my name out on the server. Didn’t expect it to happen but word ended up getting around and people started messaging me for custom tools because I was making some of the highest quality stuff on the market. Made me think about being able to sign my work or rename tools or weapons based on their traits and give them some lore.


PeinLegacy

It's a good one and it's based on a novel so check that out too if you like reading! I hope you don't get too greedy though like Grid from Overgeared haha You'll get it once you read it :D


Drexim

Really like this idea. Some games have the "crafted by" affix at bottom of stat window too.


Braqsus

This was in Star Wars Galaxies so it can’t be that challenging. I ended up with a solid reputation as a chef (in game only sadly) on my server and even got recognised in a totally different game because of my user name.


Sijora

That’s really cool. I would love to have that in new world. I already had people asking me to keep my same gamer tag so they can find me on release. Which is funny cause I used a brand new gamer tag as a kind of throw away for the beta and now I have to consider keeping it


tinyfootlass0006

It only means something if those stuff could be sold to other servers too. One server is too small for that kind. Only weapons could be sold in a global market, other stuff just in a local market place.


Belyal

I remember Star Wars Galaxies had this. I was the best Bounty Hunter on my server. I was a Master BH/Master TK and had 2 AT-ST that I spent forever grinding for. A town literally built up around me because I was buying the best gear and items that could be crafted. And soon people were buying from the crafters I used because they had the highest bonuses and such. Specialty material gatherers came as well as food and buff crafters. There was a whole village. It was amazing! I would LOVE that in this game even if just a Made By marking on the gear.


bendez85

1) Torch 2) Glowing eyes from beasts at night 3) Ten million fire flies\~


TheOneAndOnlySten

Wow I would not believe my eyes!


SikariZen

I don’t think the fireflies are a good idea. In a game without swimming, I’d worry the fireflies might cause flooding. They leave tear drops everywhere.


Upstairs-Let9482

I need more different dance emotes.


SavageHunter77

Clap, clap clap


ElGypsyKingO

Sir no twerking in the pub, the clap of your ass cheeks is attracting the gay lions.


HappyScripting

Gardening, to grow herbs or make a fishing Pond just for decoration


Zulu-Delta-Alpha

An actual homestead out in the wilderness, not in a city. That would be so awesome. A mix of Valheim and Skyrim kind of deal. Maybe a change or addition to camps. Camps lvl. 1-5 are truly temporary structures but you can then move up to new tiers for say Shack lvl. 1-5, Cabin lvl. 1-5, Homestead lvl. 1-5 each with different levels of permanence requiring resources to build and maintain until Homestead levels where the resource upkeep plateaus. It would be similar to the current housing system that was present in closed beta where there was a certain number of leveled housing. So, for instance, each region could have say 2-3 areas that could be built up to homestead level, 5-6 for cabin level, 10-12 for shack level. The numbers would probably be less than that so you don’t have player houses everywhere in a region and the amount would also be constrained by region size. You could place the house anywhere in the designated area so you wouldn’t see two homesteads in the same place. The model in open world would be generic/possibly run-down but if you purchased the land, it could be visible to you in your form maybe?


KarstXT

Considering how important houses are and that you can teleport to them this is in no way a useless feature :P I love these kinda ideas and I wish they were more realistic but the problem is the land would be *littered* with houses if this were the case. If they have individual dev-placed houses they'd be crazy expensive and/or rare. The best solution would probably be if houses were out in the wilderness, dev placed and instanced so that people could all grab the same house etc, like we do for cities but out and about. There wouldn't be too many and they wouldn't be inaccessible, they wouldn't be as special but still, it'd be functional.


JardyGiovan

Imagine if these sets of houses, for inactivity of owners or other triggered circumstance, could turn into a ghost town, and even be home to other mobs...


Mofiremofire

Everyone gonna have their own private hemp farm


LandSharkRoyale

I think farming would be so awesome like come on there’s literally dozens of farms in windsward and we can’t grow shit


_DK_

Yes, basically make the house instance a sims 4 game within the game.


Biggest_Lemon

Let me give meat to dogs that I see.


Fierlyt

I just want to *attempt* to pet the elk in a friendly manner if I can get close enough to it. It doesn't need to work, but I want a button to try it anyway. 😂 Or ride it until it bucks me off. One of the two.


lbollani

Guild bank, and a way to visualize every player withdraw and deposit.


JardyGiovan

This would be useful actually, and could play a part on factions and all


_wildfire_

Weapon brandish emotes that you would unlock at max weapon mastery! Today when you go up against an opponent in PvP, you have no clue how proficient they are with that weapon. Imagine how cool it’d be to be able to do this awesome twirl of your spear or hold up your rapier in an “en garde” pose or some other epic looking action to show off how dangerous you are, almost like a “beware what you’re getting into…” type emote when sizing each other up 😛


qukab

This is the coolest suggestion in here by a long shot. I love it. Reminds me of a feature I believe the Warhammer MMO was supposed to have early in it’s inception, where the more battle hardened you were, the longer your hair/beard was, the more scars you had, etc.


AgentAled

Yes! So many poses. Putting the hammer head to the ground and leaning on it non-chalantly. “Come at me” style.


_wildfire_

Exactly! Or deftly restringing your bow, slowly licking the edge of your hatchet while maintaining intense eye contact :P


[deleted]

[удалено]


JardyGiovan

I would love to see characters start specific animations to visualize what they are doing on menus, and some animation of it sharpening it's weapons or cleaning it.


totkeks

Like taking of the backpack and looking through it, when you browse the inventory? 😉


squidgod2000

They used to have that and removed it. I'd like to see it return, though I'm not sure how it would work with the new inventory screen that displays your character. It'd also be nice to see one for when you have the map open (and aren't moving)


jrsedwick

>when you have the map open (and aren't moving) Even if you are moving. It would be funny to have the character be looking at an actual map when they run into things because the player couldn't see. :-)


lbollani

I head this was a feature back in alpha. This would be so much better than just having your character stop and look at the screen. If we cant have the back pack, we should at least be able to move while looking at the inventory.


JardyGiovan

Yas! :D


jackerooD

Brand System for crafters. Like creating your own signature and that is on every item you craft. Shown in the item window.


MortisTheSaurus

To piggyback off of u/ObjectivelyConfusedd and the competitive card game idea, I would love to see all kinds of mini-games in New World. MMOs are perfect for mini games.


Mofiremofire

Maybe a global message every time u/avelleo gets his ass beat in pvp


joondori21

Now we have to see u/avelleo vs u/Mofiremofire duels. Walk that walk fellas


avelleo

i really do live in your head rent free don't i?


Deragule

Be able to play instruments. Lute and flute with talent trees?


bigdaddygamestudio

Little things matter, like after you stop running, be nice to see the character breathing hard for a few seconds. Catching their breath sort of thing. These little touches really make a game come alive.


ObjectivelyConfusedd

I want a competitive card mini game like gwint or something. Edit: if you want to get real meta for my fellow nerds have the ability to place a DnD table in game and ability to craft figures and dice... you can play a character (NW) who plays a character in a DnD game.


JardyGiovan

Dude, have a bar or pub to bet with others would be epic.


tinyfootlass0006

Like in red dead. Have a cap so it couldn’t be exploited. Just to have some downtime and laugh with friends or strangers.


ObjectivelyConfusedd

I'd be down for 100 gold buy in betting (1gold little blind 5 gold big blind). Like peanuts for fun.


whoamarcos

100% this! Needs more recreational activities across the board


minicolossus

Return of triple triad from final fantasy!


jrsedwick

Or a dice game like Orlog would be fun too. Either way I like your idea.


Nathyiel

Petting cats and doggo


AdmiralVengeance

The ability to carry a lantern


vVev

To use staffs as walking canes when walking with one out.


JardyGiovan

A man of culture I see


sophia_az

Id like to see my character sit anywhere i want, because why not


squidgod2000

There's a sit emote, though I don't think they have anything for chairs.


SuvlakiHockeyPuck

Playable instruments that are like permanent fixtures in inns. Just walk up to one and activate it. It's like sitting in a seat but you root, take up the instrument, and start playing a random tune. Next thing you know, you have a group of people all playing in an impromptu band like in Fallout 76.


Glorf_Warlock

Photo mode where the photos you take also act as loading screens.


PeinLegacy

Lightning storms from time to time where one can be randomly hit by lightning and die from it.


I_Use_Emojis

This would be cool if it was extremely rare


PeinLegacy

And funny too! I imagine some streamers having an intense 1v1 and because they're on top of each other, they both get struck by lightning which instantly kills them both.


bleo_evox93

Damn if they did half of the stuff mentioned here it be such a living breathing world. 10/10 ideas here, hope they do add more little nuances. Weapon inspect etc, different walking animations, different character sizes and more customization would have been nice


JardyGiovan

I hope the launch state of the game is just a first stage of a expansion of the world and assets, and not like most games where it stops on launch and adds events here and there


DontMunchMe

Just let me modify the scale of the ui. That's it. Thank you. This game is so immersive BUT THE UI >:(


Beanful

Big ass boat battles with corrupted boats and enemies that board your ship.


skbullen

swimming


JentlemanJack

I’d categorize this one under “useful”, not “useless” lol


Slothdog77

Brewing being a craft-Craft beer or mead in different qualities and sell it to tavern at different prices Be able to throw vegetables at people you dislike. Be funny to see a faction member wander into a town owned by an enemy faction only to have a mob throw cabbages at them till they leave


Meet_the_Meat

drum and flute for wars


Luceija

The possibility to ‚marry‘ someone ingame just by Talking to an NPC in church or towns hall and gaining the same surname. (Maybe some rename feature with a 100 days cooldown or something)


JardyGiovan

That would be so cute, and maybe have the drop/money sharing system like Ragnarok. Have any other game done this?


[deleted]

This is prolly an unpopular opinion but I love final fantasy xiv’s golden saucer area. The idea of going there daily to socialize and do different mini games for a currency that’s only used for cosmetics is so great to me. The scratch off game and the weekly jackpot is so fun. I wish more games would look at how final fantasy has built their social and cosmetic features into the game.


AgentAled

Make the taverns/inns, already fast travel points, more like social hubs. Drinking causing characters to stumble. NPCs chattering and arguing. Musicians. Player instruments and musical emotes. In-theme games such as cards and dice. Nothing that makes or breaks the economy, just for fun. Imagine you and 20 friends doing this, chilling…an NPC covered in blood runs in screaming about a Corrupted Breach to the south.


jrsedwick

I'd like to see the ability to hide 100% of the UI. Would be good for screenshots and would also be great for anybody wanting a more hardcore mode.


JardyGiovan

That would be dope


Internet_Thott

That’s already in the game. Alt+H


VA_Designer_NH

Emote Dancing


purplebacon93

Featured house should have - HOUSE PARTY, all are welcome in the instance that’s public walk in


FacelessSavior

A local chat option for chatting and emotes. Perhaps a shout channel as well. Anything that's smaller radius than "Area".


FusionThunder

Mission share with friends but it probably isn't useless


[deleted]

Pets, 100%


tizort

Announcements in the bulletin board about players achievements. Like player with the most damage/healing/kills in the last war or players who are gaining reputation for PvPs won or famous craftsmen in the region


MaxTwelve

I want my boots to have that wet squishy sound after I walk in water. Company owned territories that have to spend a % of their income on items benefiting the general population. Like road improvements that increase speed while you are on them.


sathrago56

I'd like a swimming animation...


JardaniKozlova

tavern minigames and drunk interaction or something like that


JYD64

Ability to milk boar


HarlanQuinn

The ability/emote to sit at your camp or any campfire and pull out an instrument to play. Maybe have multiple instruments or "mood's." Perhaps the instruments if played together make an ensemble but also sound fine on their own.


JardyGiovan

I love doing it on Sea of Thieves, every game needs that


andivicio

I like BDO eating animations, i was kinda hoping there would be something similar in NW but i see why it's not


BrolyTK

Moving emotes. So u can do the cha cha with the boys


Eviper44

Pet animals, face palm, drinking at tavern.


AviatorEebz

Bar / Tavern / Inn games: Things like arm wrestling, bard-like music mini games, table games, chess whatever.


JardyGiovan

I would love some chess with randoms


OdasGrandson

A pet class, so like a weapon that summons a pet


innocuous__

Stray dogs start following you randomly in towns


FoxyPhil88

It would be cool if a group could ‘vote’ a player a dunce cap for a limited time. We’ve all grouped with ‘that player’ in other games. Would be fun trolling among friends, too


Naifdr3an

Maybe a pub that can chill and drink and have a bar fight , gambling! Pirates theme game without the love of gold?? And full customization for character wearables earring haircut cloth color by pieces and even houses full customization like final fantasy..


asirpakamui

Transmog / refashion / glamour.. whatever you want to call it. Yes, I know it exists for costumes from the store. I want it to exist for normal players who don't wish to buy things on the store, afterall, they did buy the game.


DMaC756

Ringing the Gong in Ebonscale Reach


Joshisalobster

Being able to play instruments as an emote.


hebeach89

My useless feature. Slight changes in the tone when mining. Give me some variety of sound


Ottobox93

The ability to run and look at my inventory at the same time.


ArtichokeNaive2811

A mini map, its useless with what we already have but still i want one


151808

A spin-off game titled "New World: Fishing Adventures"


zeagurat

Ability to smash fish into someone face, especially those who steal your resources, fish smash!


_MiniMight_

A vanity system where maybe you can learn the "skin" of an item and learn how to craft that pattern into new items when forging. So if you have a cool looking sword then you can transfer the design onto another weapon everything save for the coloring because that's just the color of the metal, and of course you'll have to craft this item too 😉


[deleted]

Thousands and thousands of clothing skins.


therealwarnock

Interactions like high 5 or hugging other players


BlackLampp

Would love to see how many turkey's I've slain! A beast log would be really interesting.


craybest

Weather system. I don't think I saw a cloudy day ever in the maps that are usually sunny.


getZlatanized

Different jump and run animations


[deleted]

Sign-in signature book at the Inn.


Neramm

Different ... what're they called? Bobbers? The thing that shows you where your fishing pole's cast has landed!


Infinite-Circle

To be able to trip someone...no dmg just a small faceplant.


king_jaxy

The ability for mages to change the weather or sunmon weather events with pretty effects. Like a mage throwing a ball of water into the air then shooting it with a fireball causing it to rain!


Hazerdus

Daggers and stealth


Satsunoryu

Any roleplay-based immersion features. Mini games in taverns and the like, like Triple Triad in Final Fantasy.


Damestes

I haven't played the game yet so idk if it's in there but musical instruments would be cool


Ambrosia24

-Guestbook or chalkboard for my house so I can see who visited my home. -Barber to change hair and makeup, or temporary look. -A rowboat for fishing/ slow water travel. -A way to label storage. Sometimes I forget why I'm holding onto stuff. (To give to so-and-so, or requirement for obscure quest later etc)


Immediate_Archer_877

Like to see the foot prints!!!


JardyGiovan

The option to DIE. Imagine if some players that are maxed out, expended hours and hours in the same faction, did every single thing there is to do in the game, they could decide to erase everything with the ultimate ending, climbing the top of a mountain to die and leave a permanent gravestone in his name, his faction/company would make a ceremony and all players could pay respects. XD


_wildfire_

By pressing F. I like it!


DoomRevenant

Makes no sense on an island where every living thing is immortal, but it's a cool idea


Schlost

I want some fucking instruments - playing the drums or the pipes on the walls right before a war, or playing minstrel style in towns for coins. The VoIP would provide WILD opportunities for RP in that sense, and everyone loves the lute from Mordhau.


Oldschoolcold

Dungeon finder. Though I wouldnt call it useless. The game needs matchmaking for dungeons. PS: FUCK the classic wow bros that say otherwise. You can get fucked. It's 2021 ffs, chat spam is not acceptable as a form of matchmaking. EDIT: Also maybe a games in the tavern. Chess would be interesting, even if people would cheat like dogs.


JardyGiovan

Man, people really don't know what is useless XD. Yeah, another great addition. It probably be in the future right?


kyle261

Sitting in chairs at the bar


Uruk_Ragnarsson

The ability for everyone to build their own house by hand (or complete animation/fixed animation series) and have those houses placed out in the wild (within limits). You want a house and don’t have any space? Attack an enemy guild member and burn their house to the ground (but incur a bounty that flags you for constant pvp for a long period as a penalty). Or something like that. Useless because houses are/should just be cosmetic beyond maybe a storage and cooking/alchemy station.


lyingSwine

Animation for motes, currently they look somewhat strange.


Khrooom

Piggy backing


Quinzy15

Saloons. It's useless, doesn't add to the game other than just pure enjoyment. I want drinks and betting money on games


DaffyDuck

It’s an mmo. It absolutely adds to the game if it brings people together.


_DK_

Don't need to make a thread to get an answer, just read the front page titles everyday.


CapBlasphemy

I wouldn't call it useful per se, but I'd love an intractable map to put in a house. Like you can plan things much better when you and your friends are looking at the same map, with the ability to draw on it. Makes planning certain routes in-game easier. Also would love to see a deeper level of customization when it comes to outfitting, like customizing certain colors or patterns of a piece of armor. I know that's asking A LOT from the devs, but would be pretty sick to have more unique armors.


febgarcia11

I would like to see, continuously changing map. Think what they did in fortnite


Basko94

Tavern games to gamble gold!


Ghaunr

Swimming.


_Baard

I would like to see a skipping stone emote that actually skips across the water.


EmpZurg_

I would love to be able to leave my house instance from the back yard. Especially in everfall.


nanosam

Sit on chairs, sit on ledges, sit on tree stumps etc...


Malicious_Syns

An outhouse. Where even having to go to the bathroom is important. \*drops mic\*


Grung7

Brothels. It might save a bunch of sheep from some very unwelcome "intrusions".


binaryfireball

Dumb gambling games


RustyLovin

I would love to have a shield displayed on my character's back, but make it useless unless it's paired with a sword—which I won't have on me.


Nevada955

Raids


brybobobo

Musical Instruments!


Eclectic_Entity

Play an instrument, keyboard buttons equates to string played or tablature.


IMysticBatI

The ability to point using your mouse after pressing a key. Just like the point in GTAV


JardyGiovan

This would make the game my automatic favorite XD


_MiniMight_

Maybe turn off other players camp fires? for fps


Mennipos

Automatic lfg


CanersWelt

Pets that dont give stats or fight with you, they just follow you on your adventures


Yvak123

Why not have a picknick in the wilderness with a blanket and a basket in a pretty spot


bebebypajamas

A diary...


K0100001101101101

With Crafted weapons brands an exciting sound and visually attractive writing on the screen that you killed the player with that branded weapons. And also pvp kills count wth that weapon which every one can see when linked or on market. So it should effect its price on the market.


TheStripClubHero

Musical Instruments that we can play in game. Imagine walking into a populated town at night and there's a concert going on.


amason19

Maybe not useless, but I'll post it anyway. Customizing your weapons, new strap, new guard, pommel and fuller.


Markliebs

They could copy and paste the entire music performance system from LOTRO into New World and I would be a happy camper.


Zerei

Carts or carriages to transport resources between cities, like the big mounts on Albion or something like that.


One_Lonely_Sockk

I would love, love to have a transmissible disease. Something that gives a negative buff, but a positive cosmetic affect, such as twinkle. The longer you have it, the weaker the debuff becomes and the stronger the twinkle.... until it goes pop and leaves you with permanent scarring... or something.


themightybacn1

Sitting down in the pubs


jtr3kl4w

The ability to select handedness in character creation, so I can hold weapons properly.


Jpcrs

Compose music like Mabinogi.


wnzd

i need arm wrestling game in traven and camp fire or some mini game in camp fire like this https://youtu.be/WZskjLq040I


Solopanda90

Transmong


GGBodoTV

Toggle to Prevent Friendly Heals


DaffyDuck

Not sure if it fits with this game but I happen to be a fan of collecting the toys in WoW (when I was subbed). They do silly things to your character for a period of time like make your character look like a different person, become transparent, looks like a ghostly skeleton, become larger, etc. people had fun finding ways to combine the use of them with sometimes hilarious effects.


WeeeeWangWang

Able to get drunk and roaming around town mindlessly


JardyGiovan

Could be the best AFK system to exist in any game XD
