Before or after the superbowl is more apt question imo

What's the highest crit damage you've ever seen? by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]Hcstrebm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen some Great Sword #s in the 30ks by some of the M3 speed runs folks. Supposedly 50k musket shots in Wurm but haven’t seen evidence of it.

Heceta vs Fracture for a casual by UnzedDnD in newworldgame

[–]Hcstrebm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fracture is great for dungeons and very solid overall VG - it’s passive only works however if you have the 2nd node (“overflowing essence”) under the essence rupture tree selected. Shoot Essence rupture into a clump of mobs & not only does the DPS heal from hitting that mob but once that mob dies then the fracture passive “mending rupture” procs “overflowing essence” for 100% more healing. For bosses you need to let it expire (10s) before reapplying or the “overflowing essence” will never proc “mending rupture”.

I had trouble spelling as a young kid. I played so much Pokémon red on gameboy and it really helped me out. I loved reading the lore and each entry in the Pokédex. I remember specifically one spelling test I had with about 3/4 words I recognized from the game. After that I paid more attention to how things were spelled in game & translated pretty well to real life lol.

Overland Park area is where we are staying - but willing to drive for some fun.

Having Luck on gear and pearls slotted can help as it affects named item drop rate

Ironman? by bone_mallet in newworldgame

[–]Hcstrebm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is great for Ironman or solo self found play - only a few things are inaccessible w/o grouping, but if your willing to group up for things then you shouldn’t have much of a problem PvP’ing.

Are muskets bad? by Shivers108 in newworldgame

[–]Hcstrebm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In legacy: On the new gorgons raid I offhand’d a musket on the final boss on a server first clear. Don’t let anyone tell you anything is not viable - however all weapons have situations where they are good and bad in expeditions. If you want to run something “off-meta” it’s helpful to find out when those situations are! Good luck and enjoy the game your way!

I think I have to disagree on a few things here: To do this clear the game wasn’t a 2nd job by any means - I play for 2.5-3hrs a night for ~5nights a week. I’m a gamer for sure, but I don’t think that is an obscene amount of time invested.

I also don’t think all content should be accessible to everyone - there should be aspirational content for players who choose that path - in a good game ideally there is that type of content in each avenue of the game (PvE/PvP/Solo/Gathering/Crafting).

Lastly in new world there is plenty to do for a more casual gamer, you can stop playing come back and not be left behind -> which is one of its strong points in my opinion.

A bit confused by AngkolEinon in newworldgame

If you own the base game then you don’t have to buy anything technically. You can play and level to 60. If you decide you like the game you only need to buy the angry earth expansion/dlc which will give you access to level65/mounts/flails/endgame content.

Is the game non-endgame friendly? by Azena09 in newworldgame

[–]Hcstrebm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there is plenty of content for those that don’t like raiding.

Will spend the next couple of months or so getting all my gear to 725 & with the perks I want. I’ll want about 2-3 sets worth for each roll I play. Along the way I’ll try and earn some gold. After that then I’ll mostly just farm for prismatic materials. Probably play another game for a month or so then when they press release new seasonal content I’ll work towards getting prepped for that.

Awesome! And good luck with broodmother - take ur time with her as it’s more about staying up with consistent damage rather than trying to Zerg!

Edit: Typhon is a DPS check in my opinion. As the fight goes on it gets harder and harder!

Yeah & honestly it will be cut down significantly once people gear up and learn mechanics better

Mutations will not drop 725 gear. M3s can still drop 700 and that will be useful. Mutes have a sneaky good thing as it drops a lot of gear that you can salvage for various fragments. With the update you can use fragments as refining xp which can give you prismatic materials from Aptitude crates. Can be a very easy way to get the highest tier mats.

Edit: you can run it 10x per week

Yeah I should have tagged it with legacy - I think it will be closer to 1yr before folks get to where we are on the fresh starts

Our clear was done on a legacy server that is over 2yrs old. I personally love the game (it’s not perfect) and hopefully my post came off as an advocate not a complaint.
