To my surprise I actually love Amazon's New World. Below I will be listing things I noticed in New World that I think Intrepid should adapt.

1. The Gathering and Crafting in New World is One of the best systems I've seen Ever! Its Fun, fast, Rewarding, and tons to unlock, gather, and craft. Chopping wood, and mining sounds amazing with the echoing of the sounds in the air, and crackling and splintering of the wood as it falls. All the Trees are gatherable. The crafting recipes are very in depth and enable you to craft a plethora of items and goods. New world allows all players to learn all the skills and all the specialties. Gathering is Addicting ;)

2. You are able to level up weapons and each weapons has 2 skill trees. This makes learning weapons fun and rewarding. Unlocking skills as you use those weapons is very enjoyable.

3. The graphics and lighting are top notch!

4. The territory/Fort/Settlement Battle system is fantastic! This gives player options for endgame and ways to interact with other players that are fun and enjoyable. Battling for territory is so fun and gaining standing with settlements and land is a great way to keep players engaged.

5. The menus and UI in this game are beautiful, simplistic and very intuitive.

Intrepid please look at this game as they have a great grasp on making a game fun, enjoyable, and and very deep with their skills, gathering, and territory systems.

Much love hope this helps! If anyone else that has played new world could chime in on what they thought of the game so far please post below.

I also look forward to playing New World and giving it a real attempt! I didn't want to get too into it during the betas as I was afraid I'd spoil it for myself :)
