The Endgame in New World is Terrible...

Hello, welcome back to a new video about

New World. So I wanted to talk about the

endgame in New World and why it's

absolutely rubbish. I hit level 60 a

couple of weeks ago and upon hitting level

60, I felt kind of lost. I didn't know

what to do next. I actually even

considered giving up on playing the game

for a bit because I kind of lost interest

in the game after hitting max level. But I

couldn't really find another game that I

really wanted to play. So I came back to

New World and I started to think, what

should I do now? First, I started off just

grinding my trade skills, trying to get

materials and iron ore and crafting it,

smelting it into iron ingots and selling

that on the marketplace to try and make

some gold. And then I accidentally

stumbled across what everyone else was

doing at level 60 for the endgame in New

World. And I've been doing most of these

things now repetitively every day and come

to the conclusion that it's pretty boring.

So basically everyone gathers in the

northern territories of the map. In the

snowy area where all the corrupted stuff

is. And there's a couple— well, basically

just 2 things that everyone does

repeatedly over and over again. If you go

to the Western Outpost in the Northern

Territory, then you'll see like a mob of

people gathering because they're getting

ready to go on a chest run or a portal

run. Those are basically your only 2

options for endgame in New World: portal

run or elite chest run. And there's always

elite zones in the Northern Territories

where all these elite chests are, and

you'll just form a big mob of people And

then you'll just zerg rush the elite zones

trying to get the elite chests. And at

first it was kind of funny because there's

so many people and it's so chaotic, but

after a while it does get very tedious.

And the loot you get from these elite

chests are not very good either. Everyone

just runs through like a massive horde,

like a massive swarm of locusts through

the elite zones, trying not to pull aggro,

trying not to get hit by the mobs that are

chasing everyone, trying to loot the

chests and then jump over obstacles to get

to the next level, to get to the next

area. And it's just like a frantic rush.

It kind of reminds me of that scene in

Jurassic Park: Lost World when they're all

running through the long grass and they're

getting picked off one by one by the

velociraptors, and no one's like stopping

to fight off the velociraptors, all just

running forwards ahead like headless

chickens. That's kind of what it's like.

And then the other activity that everyone

else does after looting these elite

chests, they go on a portal run. So you

get these corrupted portals that spring up

on the map and And they just spawn these

corrupted monsters. And if you defeat

them all and then destroy the portal,

you'll get gold and a chest. And then

basically everyone just forms a massive

mob and they bum rush the portals and they

go from one portal to the next portal to

the next portal until all of the corrupted

portals have been destroyed. And then they

respawn and then everyone just does the

same thing again over and over again.

It's like the whole thing is just massive

zerg rush. Now, in a way, I kind of like

this system because it's all done outside

in the open world. So anyone can just join

in and tag along. It's not in a dungeon or

an instance— instanced area like in

World of Warcraft. Most of the endgame

were raids, and in order to be able to

participate in a raid, you had to be part

of a raiding guild. And that was kind of

difficult to join a raiding guild because

they had all these requirements and they'd

usually be full, and it would be rare for

them to have open spots that you could

join. And then even if you joined a

raiding spot, even if you joined a raiding

party in World of Warcraft, you had to

build up DKP points in order to even have

a chance of looting, getting any of the

loot. So if you were just a casual player

who didn't really have the patience or

the, the time to dedicate towards joining

one of these professional raiding guilds,

it was very hard to, to get access to the

endgame raiding content in World of

Warcraft. So in a way, I kind of like how

in New World you don't really have to do

any of this because you can just join one

of these massive mobs of people swarming,

swarming areas and just join in, tag

along. You don't need to be part of a

guild, you don't have to even be invited

to a party. So yeah, it's quite nice. You

can just log in whenever you want to and

there's usually always some kind of big

party heading towards one of the elite

chest zones or doing a portal rush, and

you just tag along with them. You get some

loot, get a load of gold. Now the amount

of gold you get from doing this is pretty

good, and I've completely given up on

farming materials and doing mining and

trying to craft stuff to sell on the

marketplace because it's just way easier

and way less effort to just do a portal

rush and make loads of gold and get loads

of epics and items. And the third activity

you'll find yourself doing when you're

level 60 is Outpost Rush, which is

basically just a copy and paste of World

of Warcraft's Arathi Basin with a little

bit of Alterac Valley sprinkled in. So

you've got 5 points you've got to capture

and control. There's also PvE NPC mobs and

resources you got to farm in order to

build defenses. And there's also little

mini bosses in the— on the map as well.

And it just works the same as Arathi Basin

did. You need to get to 1,000 points first

to win, and you get points by controlling

one of the bases or more bases than the

opponents. And yeah, it's okay as an

entry-level PvP battleground. I wish—

I hope they add more in the future, but

Outpost Rush does get a bit boring as well

after a while. I just didn't really feel

much incentive to, to do Outpost Rush

apart from only doing it because there's

nothing else to do. There's not really any

good rewards you get from doing Outpost

Rush. I've maxed out my faction, my

faction reputation. I've got like 60,000

faction points and there's nothing I want

to buy because all the gear, even the best

gear you can buy from the faction person,

is worse than the current gear I have,

which was just looted off of random chests

and mobs and buying stuff off the auction

house. So I got no motivation to even care

about any of the rewards you get from

Outpost Rush or the elite chest runs. And

it's kind of made the game a bit boring

because I don't know what to— I don't know

what to aim for. And then there's 2 other

activities that I haven't really tried yet

because it's kind of difficult to

participate in. Number one are the wars.

So you have wars between different

companies, different guilds who are trying

to fight and gain control over territories

and the towns. But the problem is, even if

you sign up to join the war, you can only

join if the company in charge of the war

invites you, and they're not going to

invite some random stranger. They're only

going to invite their friends or other

members of the guild, and it's very

unlikely you'll get invited as some

nobody. So I've never actually tried one

of the wars, which is a bit sad. And then

there's a couple endgame dungeons called

Lazarus and Genesis, which I haven't tried

yet because The only people looking for

members to join Lazarus or Genesis seem to

be these scammers, and they want to use

your key, your orb. And there's always

people warning people not to join these

groups because they're just scamming you

and you won't get good items. So I haven't

really tried one of these groups because I

don't want to get scammed. And no people

are trying to make a group to do it, do it

as like a normal party. You'll always see

in the recruitment channel the same kind

of message saying, looking for one member,

your orb, with experienced group who have

done Lazarus 1,000 times. Quick run with

experienced players. And it just instantly

screams scam, and I've never wanted to

join one of these groups. It just seems

like they would invite you to use your

key, and then as soon as the run is over,

they'll just kick you and then look for

someone else for a new key. Because

they've got this stupid key system in the

game where you need an orb to enter the

dungeon. You only get one orb in the

beginning from the initial quest. And then

afterwards you need to be able to create

an orb, and it's very difficult to create

an orb. You need like level 200

stonecutting, jewelcrafting skills. And

then the materials required to create the

orb are kind of rare and kind of difficult

to farm. Takes a very long time to farm,

get enough materials to create the orb.

So it's kind of like these experienced

players are too lazy to create their own

orbs and they're just trying to trick the

newly level 60, the people who have newly

reached, recently reached level 60 and

have only just gotten their first orb.

They're trying to trick them into joining

their group so they can use that orb and

get, get an easy run into one of the

dungeons. I haven't tried any of the

endgame dungeons, which is kind of sad. I

would like to try it at least once maybe,

but it's just difficult to find a group

that's not trying to scam you. So yeah,

the endgame in New World is a bit

disappointing. I don't really feel

motivated anymore to get good gear. I

don't really care about getting good gear

because you could run around naked and do

this, these endgame activities, it really

doesn't matter when there's like a mob of

100 people. Your gear score and you having

full epics or not, it doesn't make any

difference. So yeah, the whole idea

of an MMO is that you're trying to grind

and grind and get better gear and become

more powerful. But when the game itself

doesn't motivate you, incentivize you to

have really good gear, then you start to

not care anymore. And then it just becomes

kind of boring. I only log in, do one of

these portal rushes or elite chest rushes

just because it is a bit entertaining just

messing around with all the people, and

it's something to do to kill time, I
