A year after being launched to overwhelmingly positive reviews, Amazon Game Studios' New World has failed to live up to the high expectations of its players, despite the numerous issues and glitches that caused the game and its economy to crash. Because of the contentious Into the Void November update, which included contentious secret changes to the game's core gameplay mechanics, New World's Steam reviews are now mixed. In fact, loot has become significantly scarcer than it was previously, making it difficult for players to obtain anything of value in the late game as they progress.
Due to their increased health pool, solo players in New World are having the most difficulty killing enemies, and even if they do manage to kill an enemy, the loot they receive is not particularly rewarding as a result of this change. The duplication glitch, which affects trophies and furniture, has also caused difficulties for New World players, who are unable to trade these items until Amazon figures out how to fix the problem. This has been offset in part by a reduction in housing taxes that has been in effect for some time now, allowing players to live more comfortably in the homes of their dreams to some extent.
In the settlement of New World, one of the residents made the decision to place a crane-like ornament at the very edge of their property, which was located very close to a trading post. The animal continues to make intolerable noises every few seconds, as described by a Reddit user by the name of Ikavelashvili, prompting him to write a post explaining what is happening and why it is a tragically comic thing to do to other players. The result is that any New World player who visits the trading post to do some shopping is forced to listen to the bird's piercing call for the duration of their shopping trip.
Some players may find it excruciating to hear birds from outside the town, whereas hearing them from within its walls may give the impression that the town is haunted for others. According to another Redditor, the true endgame in New World's PvP occurs when enemies become irritated, which results in the onset of the upcoming Faction Wars. The bird's cry, in any case, has caused a rift in the community, with some believing it should be toned down because it is too irritating, while others believe it should be left alone.
When it comes to the housing crisis, New World players are receiving an enormous amount of gold in exchange for their services
- But this has created a new problem, with the amount of coins awarded varying randomly and only affecting a small number of people as a result of the change
- It's far from over, but at least some players are still enjoying themselves in New World
