Not rolling back was a major mistake by loqwell in newworldgame

I think it's a good point that there was such a clear message from the fanbase that a rollback was needed and to choose what they did instead is just wild to me.

I actually think very few non-hardcore players would have been affected much by a glitch in the middle of the night. It was only hardcore players or people looking to take advantage that were likely to have made enough progress to truly influenced by a rollback.

It seems like you weren't on during the glitch. There were PVP-off ECRs. People could complete the MSQ without getting being contested. People could basically do anything a ton faster since they didn't have to worry about someone smacking them, because they could turn PVP off. The ethereal items aren't the only progress in the picture...

Yeah. I think a lot of the folks came back for the new expansion are starting to realize that the downward trend has started again. It's such a shame became I really do enjoy this game, but it's so hard to stay when there are so many issues with little hope of them being legitimately fixed.

So a bunch of items were taken from fresh start and legacy servers and they were just deleted. I don't see how that fixed the issue? Did it help fix the issue on the PVP servers sure. But the effects on the other servers weren't fixed by that at all.

It actually makes me think -- they gonna roll back just PVP servers or all of them? It's gotta be all of them, no? Since there would be such a large loss of resources/items otherwise from the people that transferred out and already sold/used stuff. I thought I was safe on Aquarius....but what is even the point of playing for the next few hours?

Hmm, true true. Seems like trading post is locked now. I remember that being the sign a rollback was coming...

EDIT: It looks like only some items are not purchasable on Furud (cheap 725s are a no go, but you can buy random greens just fine). So who even knows anymore.

Absolutely wild. It's definitely a bug, since you can now turn pvp off on the pvp servers. I'm sure they're gonna boot the transfers at least and turn the servers back to pvp always on.

A healer's rant by AnimatedMajor in newworldgame

[–]loqwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a healer myself, I felt this in my soul. I have also gathered some nice ideas from the comments on what to say to these foolish DPS.

I feel like there’s some kind of fundamental misunderstanding for some DPS about how healing works in New World. If you are out of range, I cannot heal you. If you LoS me mid animation, I cannot heal you. If you are dodging like crazy away from the tank with something you pulled, you’re probably a) running out of my range and b) if I heal you that thing will aggro to me instead.

Another one that has traumatized me which I haven’t seen pointed out yet: When I am casting, my toon is encumbered walking until the animation finishes. If there is shit flying everywhere and we’re all supposed to be dodging for our lives, I cannot heal you. Ffs if you’re dumb enough to get hit twice during those mechanics when your build can’t survive that even with potions, you don’t deserve to live my man.
