New World: After the Open Beta doubt players on the release in September

From 9th to the 13th of September in the morning, the Open Beta Vonnew World ran. Above all, it should be the server stress. But some old and new problems came to light. Many players therefore doubt whether the release will really take place in September.

What problems existed? In the run-up to the Open Beta, some improvements were promised. Especially the servers should run more stable and the queues are reduced. Also on bugs and exploits have been worked on how to show the latest patch notes.

But in the end, New World was caught up by many old problems:

Already at the start there were hours-long queues. Some servers have been restarted in between and had something downtime accordingly. There were still problems with the performance. Above all, low FPS was criticized here.

But next to the old problems, new ones were added. So there was sharp criticism for a change on the PVP, through the high level players became stronger. Players, the 4 or 5 levels higher than you own, were considered virtually invincible . Also a PVP exploit was criticized strongly.

In addition, it was often complained about sound errors, for example if noises in the fighting or during dismantling did not fit in the game and thus ruined the atmosphere. Although they were also during the Closed Beta, they should now have occurred more frequently.

What do the players say? A large part of the users in the Reddit of New World, in MMORPG reddit and here on Meinmommo are still looking forward to New World and his release. The current problems play only a subordinate role.

But there are some doubts as to whether the release date can actually be met on 28 September.

A hard start and bad reviews can kill a game

When will New World? New World should originally appear in May 2020, but has been shifted several times, on August 2020, spring 2021, 31st August 2021 and last on September 28, 2021.

The last shift should, above all, serve to create more time for the fixed bugs and exploits and to resolve server issues.

What are the players feared after the beta? Mainly due to the server problems, queues and weak performance, many fans of New World fear that it could come to a renewed shift.

For the differences to the closed beta were rather low and new problems have occurred, such as MeinMMo reader Damian writes: Yes, I now have problems I did not have in the Closed Beta, e.g. Significantly worse FPS and Lags. Apart from that, it takes about the five minutes until the game starts.

The user Karstx emphasizes in reddit that server and performance problems should be considered, but Exploits are a much bigger problem:

I believe people overlook that the main reason for the delay of the game is to eliminate mistakes that mean the end of the economy, which would cause a great, irreversible damage. Quite simply, you can not start the game if you do not get rid of all gold duping bugs and other problems. It would undermine too much of the game.

Such exploit was also the topic of the last days in Reddit. A mistake in the PVP made it several players to come to level 60 within one day and to lose several weapons. This exploit is very critical and players hope for a fix before the release (via reddit).

New World appears despite problems? In Reddit, there are also some players who call a release regardless of the problems.

The user puzzleheaded fun explains this requirement as follows: In point performance, I expect a serious start, but that would be just as difficult if the game starts 2023. But I am optimistic that it will be done in the first weeks after the start, similar to how it ran in the Closed Beta. Jrpgfan ce org even goes so far and says that MMORPGs producing a hype have a serious start: Each 'Hypte' MMORPG has always startup problems if it has just come to the market. There's no way around it. The Open Beta was there to test that. In addition, you have to worry about the MMO competition if you delay it further.

Over the next 6 months, MMORPG fans may look forward to the release of Elyon, Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker, Lost Ark and Guild Wars 2 End of Dragons.

The user Platgues138 almost the dilemma around the release of New World in reddit together:

It's a double-edged sword. On the one hand: Wuhu, finally release. On the other hand, a hard start and bad criticism of the press can kill a game. Consider what Amazon has made with the last players who are not so well started.

He refers to the shooter Crucible and the PVP game Breakaway. Both titles were developed by Amazon and again set again after a short time.

Are there any indications of a shift? No, last posted the Twitter account from New World again a confirmation of the release date. However, the release is carved in stone until the servers are really online.
