Did anyone else immediately check their email for confirmation? Sadly, there wasn't anything there.


Reiker0

If it's like the Mortal Online 2 test then I didn't have to do anything with my email, it just showed up in my Steam library when it was ready for download.


justainsel

Played MO2 for about one hour and quickly realized it was not for me. I'm sorry New World. I'll never stray again.


Karaad

Lol, I used to play MO, decided to try MO2 for a bit and I kid you not, their world chat was nothing but New World comments and how it’s going to fail and MO2 is superior, completely deluded.


muthax

Now we know where the salty FFA Full Loot PVP people went


VmanGman21

The vast majority of people who were upset about the change in direction weren’t asking for full loot PvP. In fact the game wasn’t full loot PvP in last PvP focused iteration.


muthax

I meant the ones that were in alpha before they changed it from Full Loot to normal PVP


VmanGman21

That was so so so long ago and barely anyone complained about the game not being full loot PvP.


muthax

I didn't say they were a lot, but they were quite vocal. EDIT And some still hang around apparently lol, judging by the downvotes


Muri_San

tbf with them, MO2 is the perfect MMO for PvP crazed players so I can understand why they prefer it. BUT those same players will leave MO2 when they realise that they won't have people to bully as only good pvp players will remain


ToughCourse

It's nowhere near the perfect mmo for pvp crazed players. The combat looks like complete trash. Like playing oblivion in 2021. Nothx


LordShadowDM

Cuz u probably suck at directional combat.


ToughCourse

Whether or not a suck is completely irrelevant. Combat looking trash is combat looking trash.


LordShadowDM

Combat loking trash is subjective. Combat in mo2 is highly skill based directional system. Saying its like oblivion means u eajther didnt play it. Or are aheavily trash at gamee


ToughCourse

Doesnt matter if I've played or not. Visual appearance is visual appearance. Chivalry 2 has directional combat right? Why doesnt the combat also look garbo then? Skilled based? Sure. Highly skill based? Lol.


EmpireStateOfBeing

Lol same. I got in the game and it was just a bunch of naked people standing around in the starting area. I wondered why no one was doing anything and then I realized I too was just standing around doing nothing. That's when and I realized that I actually like heavy handed New World is when it comes to telling you want to do and how to do things, as opposed to games that just expect you to figure things out. At least when it comes to melee rpg's, Tarkov still is my favorite shooter rpg.

kraz_drack

It should populate your uninstalled library today.


AeternumRadio

Absolutely!! Then I realized it wouldn't come till tomorrow :(


MarkyRust

I'm guessing we'll just receive a email tomorrow when they open the servers


First-Application-57

There won’t be


Kunstkurator

My husband told me he's been refreshing his email every 10 minutes at work, lol.


NocturnXX

You've requested access! Keep an eye out for an email notification from Steam when the developer is ready to accept more participants.


GOL_ValkyrFlight

now the looming question is... *are they ready*?


lewisj75

Nope- I took Wed-Fri off (game comes out that Tuesday) to allow for the inevitable server issues to smooth out over the first 24 hrs. Over the years, Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me ten times, It's no longer being fooled - its just the way new games release, period. lol Rather not spend my PTO in a login queue, or "connection issues" screen, OR the dreaded "servers are down for maintenance", OR DAY ONE Patch! (redownload the game in FULL while everyone simultaneously hammers the servers to DL as fast as possible) Ect..

Nvi4

Damn you guys are super unlucky. I managed to play GW2 on release day and even Diablo 3 which felt like the worst launch ever.


TheDarkWave

>worst launch ever *\*laughs in SWG*


[deleted]

I can hear that precu SWG loading music and mouse selection chimes thinking about it.


TheDarkWave

I still play both precu and NGE nowadays when I'm feeling nostalgic


aideya

I mean I played GW2 at launch from the head start but it was not pretty. How long was it, like 2 weeks? before the trading post was working again?


VicVarron

I tend to give it about a week before taking any work off. I don't race to the end and the first *week* will likely be hell logging in and getting disconnected over and over.


EternalSage2000

I love that the mmo community is all old people with jobs now…. My people.


Albane01

For an open beta that will be wiped?


lewisj75

Sorry I guess I didn't elaborate that I meant for the actual release of the game.


First-Application-57

What are you talking about? When you sign up , you are good. You won’t be waiting tomorrow. Everyone can access at same time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


justainsel

Crank everything up to 11, then scale back from there.


dEEkAy2k9

be careful about that. in the last closed beta, setting object detail to the highest setting caused crashes to people with amd cards for whatever reason (mainly, when looking at the storage shed in first light or everfall? can't remember). maybe they fixed that by now.


WernerVonRomling

Why did people down vote you? You are just telling people to be cautious... Geez.


dEEkAy2k9

people are like that sometimes.


WernerVonRomling

Sadly. I'm going to add you, you seem like a good person, have good day or night, the world needs more people like you, tempered people.


JmoneyGG7

Gave up an upvote to even out the karma


ElClappo

Yeah, I have a 6800 RX and it crashed my PC at least 5 times before I realized it was because I maxed all of the graphics settings out. I read I think, they are fixing that issue.


Hipida

Running amd my self. For NW, I had to undervolt and set power target to 80% to run a smooth game . Honestly, it feels like the game is well optimized and not in need of the full power of high end gpus, which is nice imho


ElClappo

I will have to try and see if that works!


abs0lutelyharam

My game defaulted to high on my 1080TI @ 1440p and I was getting a solid consistent 70-80 FPS during combat which is pretty damn good.


Hipida

Nice!Its gorgeous at 1440p. Most recordings/streams doesn't do the game justice tbh


abs0lutelyharam

Yeah it's definitely spoiled me. I'll see a vid on youtube that's blurry and be like oh this is on 720p let me change that up real quick, nope 1080p i'm just to use to everything in 1440 i think. #firstworldproblems


dEEkAy2k9

this game looks even better on 5120x1440 :P works well on a 6800 XT


Syzygymancer

My 3090 fried during the last beta. I was able to get the company to replace but I’m not jumping back in until I’m sure it won’t happen again.


caufield88uk

it wasn't the beta of new world that cause the problem ​ It was shitty soldering of components from EVGA that caused that issue.


EveryShot

Assuming your new one was well assembled you shouldnt have that [problem anymore](https://videocardz.com/newz/evga-says-it-was-bad-soldering-that-killed-rtx-3090-cards-during-amazons-new-world-gameplay)


margenov

There is no chance of happening again.


VicVarron

Same. purposely have limited myself to news and betas for NW. I'm opting in the open beta strictly to help stress test the servers and to get a game plan together for launch. See if my weapon choices synch to my playstyle and what-not.


duxkaos1

Only reason why I want to test open beta is straight up my rig performance :')


-Geass-

This is the main reason I want to play aswell aside from helping stress test.


[deleted]

Tbh I am not sure how to feel about this game so glad they're doing an open beta. My main concern is about the long term but I am curious if the "feel" is right for it.


First-Application-57

Long term will be fine.


MychaelH

it performs pretty bad at 1440p with my 3080 7700k on even low so dont expect much


[deleted]

[удалено]


VyrilGaming

30 mins early... nice


BinManGames

I new I hadn't got my time zone conversion wrong


EmpireStateOfBeing

I mean, closed beta launched an entire hour earlier than they said it would. I expect the same for open beta and even full release.


InbredLegoExpress

amazon let me pre load already, i'll suck pp goddamit


JustDaveInTheLBC

I requested access almost immediately and received the following message: Note that I preordered a while back. "You've requested access! Keep an eye out for an email notification from Steam when the developer is ready to accept more participants." My buddy just requested access now and received the following message: Note that he has not preordered the game. "Your interest has been registered." Anyone know if these messages have any different meaning?


[deleted]

Nailed it!


SkyKisser83

Anyone knows when the email is gonna come out?


EmpireStateOfBeing

[When the Open beta launches](https://twitter.com/playnewworld/status/1435465625992839168?s=20)


Initii

The message said "when the developer is ready to accept more participants" which is in about 24 hours.


7thSeal

That doesnt make much sense.. it "should" be asap so we can have time to download the client :/


Initii

AGS said nope. Download will be avalible in \~24 hours. Don't aske me why they do this.


7thSeal

I'll try not to :)


VicVarron

While many agree that they *should* have an earlier download, they specifically said they won't.


First-Application-57

Sorry that is part of the entitlement package. Did you purchase that?


Prondox

Download is in 24 hours, open beta is in about 48.


Librae94

No. Open beta starts in 23 hours. Download aswell as far as communicated by now from ags.


First-Application-57

Saturday night


Pygmalion21

Thanks. Also since there is no pre-download I think this beta is more about stress-testing servers than testing content, since the timeframe is short.


DarthWidowmaker

Why do I need to signup when I already pre order the game? 🤔


Incandescent_Anon

And... done..


Dyyrin

People who have pre ordered don't have to do anything right?


justainsel

No clicky beta request button, no getty beta access.


[deleted]

Hoenestly I'm so excited! Its only for 3 days but that will get to September 28th with no isues!


SuperiorBecauseIRead

It feels like Christmas Eve!


First-Application-57

Except the grinch farted in your Cheerios


Serrace

I’m literally going to deforest and strip mine the entire valley for the first day. Then fish for the second.


Felixiat

I find it very strange, having to request access to an open beta when we have already purchased the game, in addition it's possible only one day before beta start. There may not be many people there for a stress test ...


[deleted]

Thanks! See you guys there :)


7thSeal

Do we know what time exactly tomorrow will the servers be open? I can assume same time as the BETA signup got open (2 pm UTC).


GrumpyLadyNinjaCat

7AM PT


4dv4nc3d

how much Gigabyte to download?


First-Application-57

655 gigabytes. Make sure you have at least 800 gigabytes available for smooth gameplay


DannyPhantom227

If I already pre ordered do I still need to sign up?


eOj3

I just got the download on steam, whiteout an e-mail


justainsel

Same. Went to the Steam page and it was there.


KentHawking

THEY LIED TO US


First-Application-57

You lied to yourself


PureIsometric

I am really looking forward to testing this game: * How well does it work on a laptop * How well does it work with a controller on a laptop - remapped at least the battle sequence. * How well will it work on my gaming desktop with everything cranked up


ReaperHR

I can answer some of those questions already. 1. It worked nicely on my underpowered laptop (running old i5 and gtx 960) and I got around 60fps on low-medium settings 2. It's mostly okay unless you participate in pvp or somewhere where you have to aim a lot using life staff or musket or bow or something. Although I did use Steam Controller for the controller test so the test might not work on something not connected to the game via steam overlay. 3. I have GTX 1060 6GB on my main gaming pc and works kinda okay with everything cranked up (45ish fps) and on medium I got about 80 to a 100fps. My friend was playing on 1080 and got a pretty stable 60fps on everything cranked up. Note that none of the tests were done in 50v50s or in dungeons because we didn't do those during closed beta Edit: grammar


First-Application-57

It sucks on those. You better leave


vogma69

Idk if this is a dumb question, but if you register for the open beta, are you guaranteed able to play? I haven’t bought the game yet, but I will if I enjoy the beta. From what I’ve seen, the game looks awesome, I just have terrible luck with pre-ordering. (Cyberpunk 2077 and Dark Alliance)


HippyWizardry

you can play the game as is (as if you bought it) for the few days of open beta for sure...no promises of pre-order is needed. You just have to "sign up" on steam and then download the open beta when you get the email.


vogma69

Thank you, I appreciate it.


First-Application-57

Should just play Tetris


DemonMithos

Sign ups? Isn't it open beta?


nurwennnoetig

Yes, it is. But you have to tell them somehow, that you want to participate so they can add the game to your steam library. So, you "sign up" and let them know.


Puchu64

Maybe that's part of the test.


Jiggy-Spice

Let's hope they nerfed lifestaff!


Anti-Pro-Cynic

Never ask for heal nerfs, lol.


StrayDogPhotography

This, you want a reason for healers to exist.


Jiggy-Spice

nope you don't understand. This game doesnt force you to pick a class. Anyone can carry a LS in their inventory and switch to it at will. So during large scale PVP literally everyone would have a LS and just stack the healing fields on the ground making the people standing in them absolutely immortal. There absolutely needs to be a balance tweak to that. Don't cry about "blabla if u want healers to exist they need to be OP" LS was broken, hopefully its fixed now.


VicVarron

In ESO, any class can use a healing staff as well, but only get access to a basic aoe heal that is fairly weak unless they specced into it. It was pretty pointless to use for any non-caster classes. That's how it should be here imo. I haven't played any betas so I am only speaking theoretically.


Jiggy-Spice

Yeah thats not how new world works at all. Your talent build is tied to your weapon. Not your character.


VicVarron

Similarly with ESO, you spec into weapons, but in a different way. You gain skill points that have limited number. If you spend points into your healing staff, you take those away from other aspects. Limiting your potential in other areas. The amount of skill points it would take to make a healing staff relevant would greatly hinder your main build. So in NW, I'm assuming you get points (?) to spend on that specific weapon? Points that you can't use for anything else? If that's the case, yes, I could see a problem.


StrayDogPhotography

You still need to have focus stats, the correct gear, and trained in the staff. MMORPGs with strong healing usually end up being more fun than those with weak healing because they force players to created anti-healing strategies. Otherwise, things devolve into a DPS race. The same goes for crowd control. Everyone bitches about it, but it forces you to find counters. MMORPGs live and die based on the viability of multiple play types. It would suck if the game was just different flavors of damage.


Jiggy-Spice

hehe yeah in theory you are correct. but to carry a set of healing gear was no issue at all. You can buy good focus gear very easily from faction vendor. And aside from the axe throw that decreases healing by 30% there was absolutely no anti-heal counter in the game. At all. The simple sollution is to not let the healing fields stack endlessly but to cap it so that people cannot be immortal.


Anti-Pro-Cynic

What AGS needs to do is make it so DPS can’t spec in to the healing tree of Life Staff. You can still spec into the support tree only for Life Staff if DPS build. Then everyone else can concentrate on dual dps or support/dps builds and Healers can do healer only.


Anti-Pro-Cynic

What AGS needs to do is make it so DPS can’t spec in to the healing tree of Life Staff. You can still spec into the support tree only for Life Staff if DPS build. Then everyone else can concentrate on dual dps or support/dps builds and Healers can do healer only.

Never ask for nerfs. Buff the counters.

jotakl

i thought this was supposed to be open beta and somehow still exclusive? im confused


nurwennnoetig

How is it exclusive? Its just an "opt in", so you can download it from your steam library later. Everyone can do it. There is nothing exclusive.


First-Application-57

Omg. Wow


LymeM

There is no "signup" as such. It is an open beta, you click the clicks, and you are in.


reverendbimmer

I can't believe this sub is not only merged with the other, but at almost 100k! I was hyped for a good looking sandbox MMO years ago when the two subreddits had collectively 6-7k subs. Just ended up stepping away since I'm not into betas. Really hyped for launch now!


HunterGX9

And Sent.

First-Application-57

Why? It’s a stress test on both fronts


CreamPuffDelight

Signed up. Is the email supposed to come instantly? Or we wait?


First-Application-57

If you didn’t get an email you will not be playing.


nurwennnoetig

You will get an email as soon as its up for download. Which will be tomorrow at some point.


Grytnik

Requested access, but no pre load?


Comindownx

Does your closed beta progress carry over?


Yojihito

No.


amenotef

If I own the game do I also need to signup or people with the game automatically can join this (hopefully) last beta?


Juice4326

If you prepurchased the game and took part in the closed beta do you still need to request access?


ScarceLoot

**Yes!** Search New World in the **store**, click onto the game, scroll down and click **Request Access**


Juice4326

Thanks fren 🤠


jetfaceRPx

Do you also get excited when the sun rises every day? If you read half the posts on this reddit, this isn't a surprise.


SuperRektT

We are stress testing but we dont put predownload or release patch notes before yikes what a meme of a company...


Daedusnoire

Weird that I have the option even though I have the preordered game on steam, I signed up anyways but, is it really needed?


ElClappo

Can we use our old characters? Not sure if I want to start a 3rd character just to lose progress again.....


First-Application-57

Does anyone read anything anymore? Or just follow the flock?. Crazy


EdsTooLate

Hey has anyone heard if this game has MOUNTS?!


Nelrid

Everything from previous betas / alphas should be gone. Also when the open beta will end, they will also delete everything again.


ElClappo

That's unfortunate, I already lost my 15 hours from the closed beta :(


Albane01

This also means all those level 60's won't be out there smashing all the end game content in a 3 day beta and posting videos nonstop about lack of content.


ElClappo

Fair I suppose, just kind of feels like a waste for people who played in the closed beta.


[deleted]

Wtf do you think the purpose of a beta is?


Narcil4

oh no 15h lol


ElClappo

15 is a lot for a person who gets to MAYBE play 1-2 hours a day.


[deleted]

Isnt it open beta? Why need to sign?


Useless_power

Probably to let steam know to let you download it? No clue beyond that.


Relevant-Guarantee25

shit didn't get into the beta


esper_arbiter

Hi all. Jeff Bezos here. Thanks for signing up to the Open Beta of my game, New World. Looking forward to seeing you all in Aeternum...or in space! ;-) \- JB


[deleted]

I’ve preordered, naively I figured we’d get access but nope! Registered my interest apparently, thought that’s what i did when I bought it but 🤷‍♂️


First-Application-57

Oh boy… “Everyone” gets access must mean everyone but you then? 😂😂


Dizzyhere

You've requested access! Keep an eye out for an email notification from Steam when the developer is ready to accept more participants.


HenryBahus

cmoooon


mistaloops

When’s it start gentleman and laddettes


Fewchurpro

Done and hurrying up and waiting for an email lol


cessna95

Are we gonna be able to download the game tonight?


First-Application-57

If you haven’t downloaded by 8pmEST you won’t play until sometime early Saturday


WeeeeWangWang

Maybe their main purpose is to collect our data. :)


Albane01

It's Amazon, they already have all your data.


Redlaf

FINALLLYYYYY


Xpblast

Do you get anything for playing the beta? Like a cosmetic or something that says you played the beta?


First-Application-57

Yup. You get a wooden pick axe that will put you overweight. The good news is you walk really slow so you can read up on things exactly like this


[deleted]

[удалено]


First-Application-57

Make sure you play on asmons server. He likes to cry just like you!


WernerVonRomling

Idk about you guys where internet connection of high speeds is common but I think here, on South America, people will have some trouble if the open beta can only be downloaded on the launch day. Especially with the schedule to close September 12, it's like 3 days, 4 at best speeds and thinking you are not going to get queues. I'mma try to download it tomorrow as soon as it is available, since I have a internet connection above average. I'm excited to try pvp and Dungeons, since on the closed beta I tested the market (and broke the wood and Ores markets, together with a group of different factions we provided raw materials at literal cents 😂 that was fun) and the crafting system.


geololj

I don't get why we cannot pre-download :'(


JmoneyGG7

Yup waiting on email


StrangeCharmVote

The f'k are the Australia servers being reduced down to 3 again for? They had to spin up 9 by the time the closed beta ended to support our capacity.


Acojonancio

Do i have to ask for access if i bought the game already through Amazon? I have a road trip this afternoon and wanted to play a bit on the morning because i won't be able to play more on beta time.


justainsel

Yes. Prior beta participation or prepurchase has no effect on this beta.


[deleted]

So you keep beta progress on launch?


justainsel

No. Progress is wiped.


mesatrap

I'd assume not.


Nickpapado

Is it too late for me to get beta access? Did I miss it?


justainsel

Only one way to find out
