[2021] White-knighting a video game because “it’s a great foundation for a good game” is exactly why developers continue releasing unfinished products

Heyo!

It is easy to be frustrated when you are playing a thing and it doesn’t meet your expectations. It’s also easy to have an “us vs. them” mentality when it comes to people who are enjoying the thing that you are frustrated with.

It is ok for people to have fun just as much as it is ok for others to be frustrated. It is not ok for those individuals to actively attack each other. Everyone in this community wants New World to be fun.

We are all pulling in the same direction. We all want the game to be fun. Let’s keep the community constructive and civil while our team works to continually improve the New World experience.

We likely just value swimming animations very differently than you.
