New World: Aeternum @lemmy.zip commander @lemmings.world Does this game still sell expansions after the initial purchase?
I'm interested in playing, but I don't want to get locked into having to buy expansions to keep up with the playerbase. Is this game just buy once and have access to all the content forever, or will I have to buy an expansion at some point if I want to play with everyone else?

New World: Aeternum @lemmy.zip illi @lemm.ee Worth it to return?
Hey all, I was wondering what do y'all think about the game after the recent relaunch. What is the state of things? Is it worth returning and if so, does it make sense to start anew on new servers, or just continue with the old character?
I don't have the Angry Earth expac so mainly wondering if it is worth the additional buy in price.

New World: Aeternum @lemmy.zip LiteralTrash @lemmy.zip New World needs a masterwork equivalent
I don’t mind if it requires thousands of hours of grinding, or a literal million materials. I just want to be able to craft true BiS gear.
I envision gear that requires what would be considered an absurd amount of the top tier resources, but has max GS and lets you select every perk you want. I’m not an expert on game design, so I won’t even hazard a guess at what quantities it would take to be balanced. With the coin cap, it surely couldn’t be tradable.
Thoughts?

New World: Aeternum @lemmy.zip DegenerateSupreme @lemmy.zip What was your least favorite weapon to fight against in PvP last time you played New World?
I'll go first: Rapier. Bow and musket often mainly used rapier as an escape tool, and the stun caused by the parry was ridiculously effective at shutting down multiple melee combatants at a time, just when you thought you'd finally caught them. Looking forward to finding new reasons to hate rapiers in this expansion.
