Not one to shy away from making his opinions known, Summit1g revealed that his major concern about New World revolved around PvE encounters. After watching people on different streams play the game, he said that he couldn’t see a “difference between someone PvEing at level 20 vs. level 60.” He went further, explaining that boss fights in particular were a major letdown. In his opinion, fights didn’t produce enough of a threat to groups of attacking players. According to the streamer, “so far what I have seen is five or six people get around a boss and just spam their attacks on them.”
Despite these criticisms, Summit1g did provide some suggestions to the developers about how to fix the game’s PvE. In regards to the boss encounters, he proposed that they introduce AOE attacks for the enemies. He reasoned that this would force players to use more careful tactics when pushing the offense, instead of rushing mindlessly at a boss. He also pointed to the Dark Soul series as an example of how to improve New World’s PvE
It is worth noting that while he criticized the game’s PvE system, there were other parts of the experience that he thought looked good. According to the popular streamer, the world that the MMO is set in looks visually impressive. And while the PvE looked lackluster, he thought the PvP had potential.
New World is scheduled to be released on August 31 for PC.
