| 6s | hey everybody Welcome to forge in |
| 7s | aternum where we talk about All Things |
| 9s | New World we got a big group of people |
| 11s | here because today is a special day we |
| 14s | are almost to the date one year of |
| 17s | filming forun aternum that's over 50 |
| 20s | episodes probably over 60 we didn't |
| 21s | count before I get started though let's |
| 24s | let's introduce everyone I'm here with |
| 25s | gwy Dave Dan Carrie Patrick |
| 31s | Scott number |
| 32s | two and Vince so before we go into like |
| 36s | like like it's been a year and we've |
| 37s | done a lot on the game you know we put a |
| 39s | lot of stuff into the game over the last |
| 40s | year and we're going to talk about |
| 43s | that but it's also like a big moment |
| 46s | because you know when we first came out |
| 47s | we we we knew we wanted to establish a |
| 50s | dialogue with the players and be as |
| 52s | transparent as possible and we started |
| 55s | off with the dev updates and doing other |
| 57s | stuff and it felt a little too |
| 59s | formal and we hired this guy Mike Lovin |
| 62s | who should come in front of the camera |
| 63s | and say hi and smile and wave right now |
| 66s | right this second because I he's |
| 68s | uncomfortable with |
| 70s | this just just wave you can you don't oh |
| 72s | you got to have someone on the on the |
| 75s | camera so |
| 78s | uncomfortable |
| 81s | hi this is the guy that's being very |
| 83s | friendly and everyone is talking to on |
| 85s | Reddit but in all seriousness he had the |
| 88s | vision for changing the show |
| 90s | and making it more like we were in a |
| 93s | direct conversation with all the players |
| 95s | and it I think it's really worked and |
| 96s | helped and on top of that it's it's |
| 98s | branched |
| 99s | into balance of power episodes the |
| 103s | economy |
| 105s | episodes is there more some like |
| 109s | quarterly economy updates quarterly |
| 111s | economy I thought I said that I don't |
| 113s | know I'm nervous QA uh uh and I think |
| 115s | like some of my most favorites the q&as |
| 118s | and it's something that we want to |
| 119s | continue to continue to lean in on so |
| 121s | thanks for stepping in front of the |
| 122s | camera Mike like Michael |
| 124s | and please stay here for the rest of the |
| 127s | video no and thank you for uh just |
| 130s | helping get us where we are with with in |
| 133s | talking to the players and helping with |
| 134s | the relationship I think it's been |
| 135s | fantastic okay have fun editing that Ste |
| 139s | now that we're done embarrassing Mr |
| 141s | Loven I'm gonna go around the room and |
| 143s | ask people about their favorite feature |
| 145s | or two that we've added in the last |
| 147s | year let's start with Dave all right uh |
| 152s | if I had to pick two number one would be |
| 155s | artifacts it's something new we added uh |
| 157s | with the expansion and I think so many |
| 159s | things I like about them one they're |
| 161s | like game defining they're build |
| 162s | defining there's a ton of variety and |
| 165s | it's like fun to chase the acquisition |
| 167s | of them even I don't know if you've |
| 168s | powered all yours up like the the steps |
| 170s | have really brought in different parts |
| 172s | of open World gameplay like you run |
| 174s | sometimes base Expeditions you go fight |
| 176s | named enemies so I think there's just so |
| 178s | much fun stuff there and what the thing |
| 180s | I really like about them now is like it |
| 181s | gives us an opportunity to add more each |
| 184s | season and to like just continue giving |
| 186s | people things to do uh a number two I'm |
| 189s | going to choose the easy one mounts |
| 191s | right like how transformational was that |
| 193s | like being able to uh jump on your Mount |
| 196s | and go anywhere uh one of the little |
| 197s | things that I've noticed people loving |
| 199s | is like in our game you can move while |
| 201s | you're waiting for the summoning of the |
| 203s | mount it's a little thing but it just |
| 204s | adds super well to the feel of it uh I |
| 207s | love the soft tracking on roads it has |
| 210s | uh been doing a lot of influence races |
| 212s | and like just seeing like how mounts |
| 214s | impact that and like you know you always |
| 216s | talk about like coming over the hill on |
| 218s | ECR you should see it like no it |
| 220s | influence racis yeah when you're |
| 221s | charging into a tower like it's just |
| 223s | super fun well and it's funny you said |
| 224s | the little like the detail of moving cuz |
| 227s | something will be right there and I'm |
| 228s | like I'll just Mount up because there's |
| 229s | no penalty the worst case it's going to |
| 231s | be as fast you know so that's cool by |
| 234s | the way those were my two but we'll keep |
| 235s | going um how about you D well for me I |
| 239s | think if I had to pick pi two number one |
| 241s | would be uh the new Zone that we put out |
| 244s | just now in the expansion leian Wilds um |
| 247s | I for whatever reason whenever I rolled |
| 250s | a new character I always got first light |
| 252s | uh so I'm super familiar with the zone |
| 255s | and like I really appreciated just all |
| 256s | the little like all the NPCs like hey I |
| 260s | know this NPC and and she's like she's |
| 262s | sad that she's not in the the town hall |
| 264s | anymore like I know why you're always |
| 267s | there uh the the the creatures the the |
| 270s | content I mean riding mounts around it |
| 272s | was really |
| 273s | fun um it just it's just so exciting how |
| 277s | we've we've gotten to a point where we |
| 278s | can create these things and and crank |
| 280s | them out and they're so rich and and |
| 282s | filled of |
| 283s | story uh so great job to the team that |
| 286s | worked on that and then I think my |
| 287s | number two pick would be transmog just |
| 290s | because we have S we have such a large |
| 293s | variety of ways that gear looks ways |
| 296s | that you can look um and before transmog |
| 299s | you you there wasn't you kind of had to |
| 302s | chase those stats to to pick your look |
| 305s | um which which led to some interesting |
| 307s | combinations um but now not anymore now |
| 310s | you can choose you can be the best you |
| 312s | in a turnam it's wonderful it's also |
| 315s | nice when you find a new piece of gear |
| 316s | and you see that little styl mancer Noe |
| 318s | underneath it like oh good I found |
| 319s | something I haven't found before totally |
| 321s | yeah it's cool those were my next two so |
| 323s | I'm getting I'm slim pickings for me um |
| 328s | Vince someone hand Vince a |
| 332s | microphone uh yeah um yeah my my |
| 334s | favorite two is um gear set storage and |
| 336s | and flail um gear set for me is um you |
| 339s | know I'm in MMOs I'm the guy that always |
| 341s | runs to like random bodies of water and |
| 342s | goes fishing um so I'll I'll kite like |
| 345s | the hardest mobs just so I can go fish |
| 347s | um and it's just really awesome to be |
| 349s | able to just change my gear set uh on |
| 350s | the Fly and put on all my fishing gear |
| 352s | that obviously I'll get one shot if I |
| 354s | get hit but um you know that's that's my |
| 356s | Chase in my jam in MMOs uh flail um just |
| 359s | that that dream of like being that |
| 361s | cleric Paladin role being able to buff |
| 363s | and debuff with with all the skills um |
| 365s | you know help the group um while you |
| 367s | know weakening mobs um I run with wood |
| 369s | Gauntlet orbit Decay like it's all good |
| 371s | stuff um you know finally a weapon that |
| 373s | was focused face so I didn't have to |
| 374s | like main life staff all the time going |
| 376s | so um it's really good stuff um and |
| 378s | those are my those are my two I really |
| 380s | enjoy them that's a good one I have so |
| 381s | many gear sets all right |
| 385s | Patrick all right uh so two favorite |
| 388s | things for me that have not been said |
| 390s | yet uh piggy backing off of Dan there |
| 392s | The Savage divide Expedition uh I think |
| 395s | Savage divide hits a really good Cadence |
| 397s | where it's a perfect length right I can |
| 398s | hop in it's about 30ish minutes maybe a |
| 401s | bit shorter so it's that perfect |
| 402s | bite-sized piece of content that I can |
| 404s | do in a session uh also our audio team |
| 406s | like they killed it in there if you |
| 407s | listen to that music it just like feels |
| 409s | like you're on that jungle cruise and |
| 411s | really just gets you excited to keep on |
| 413s | going and kill all those gorillas and |
| 414s | mammoths and whatever um second off uh |
| 418s | I'm a competitive person I like to make |
| 419s | sure sure I'm the best new world player |
| 421s | in the office and leaderboards have |
| 423s | helped me do that anytime I see one of |
| 425s | my colleagues up there on those |
| 426s | leaderboards I got to grind to make sure |
| 428s | I'm ahead of them got to make sure that |
| 429s | I'm winning more Arenas than Drew uh |
| 432s | getting better M3 times all that so it's |
| 434s | a pretty fun Chase uh and something I've |
| 436s | really enjoyed that's so cool all right |
| 440s | Gwyn what do you got oh talking about |
| 443s | Expeditions I want to talk Compu and |
| 445s | Forge because that's my favorite |
| 446s | Expedition again the music Alone super |
| 449s | exciting I love that one I actually I |
| 452s | gave chat a really hard time because the |
| 454s | end boss took me about a week to finish |
| 457s | but it was so satisfying once I finally |
| 460s | beat him and now I love going into Forge |
| 462s | every time it's mutated and then the |
| 464s | other one I got to mention is the |
| 466s | updates to the main story I love playing |
| 470s | games specifically for all of the story |
| 472s | and narrative I love meeting all of the |
| 473s | new characters we introduced we had uh |
| 477s | we got Morgan we got Shere Reef we got |
| 481s | Malik we had existing characters that we |
| 483s | did updates to like yonas to make it |
| 485s | more personal when you go through his |
| 488s | story car's team is really passionate |
| 491s | about the story of new world and aternum |
| 492s | and it really shows yeah I can't when |
| 496s | you look at where we were on our Quest |
| 498s | our main story line at you in 2021 and |
| 501s | now it's literally a different game and |
| 504s | I think the quest team has done a |
| 506s | awesome job and you left out the Thorp |
| 508s | Exposition stuff that they've added as |
| 509s | well well I thought which was really |
| 510s | cool like there's so much cool it's you |
| 513s | guys have done great ability to do the |
| 515s | whole game solo is something we're |
| 516s | chasing after and we'll be done very |
| 518s | soon when we finish this up that'll be |
| 519s | done great uh another thing is just the |
| 522s | pathing the flow remember how much you |
| 524s | have to run back and forth in the old |
| 525s | now like the NPCs and the quest givers |
| 528s | move with you the flow is just so much |
| 530s | better the the variety of quests it's |
| 532s | not all just kill and loot like the the |
| 534s | different interactions the different |
| 536s | moments it's yeah transation trials the |
| 539s | like there's just much there I mean the |
| 540s | team has done a bang up job really good |
| 543s | stuff who have I missed geyser |
| 547s | Scott Hey so uh I think the two favorite |
| 551s | my two favorite features from this year |
| 553s | um the first one's the the fact that we |
| 556s | made uh Outpost Rush cross world I think |
| 559s | that was huge um as a player like I |
| 562s | don't have a ton of time uh to sit in |
| 564s | cues and wait uh so the fact that it's |
| 567s | so much easier to get in there and like |
| 569s | you with like lots of new people you're |
| 571s | getting different matchups and different |
| 573s | combinations every time um I think that |
| 575s | that's been a huge uh thing for New |
| 578s | World um and then on top of that uh |
| 581s | staying in the PVP theme is the |
| 583s | influence races um those are also great |
| 586s | because like I know when they're |
| 587s | happening I can hop on I don't have to |
| 589s | coordinate with people or sign up or |
| 592s | like any of that stuff I can just hop in |
| 593s | and just start getting |
| 596s | murdered and the rewards for them are |
| 598s | good uh |
| 600s | I love them it's it's definitely |
| 603s | scratched and itch that players have |
| 604s | wanted for a while which is giving them |
| 606s | that open world PVP content and I think |
| 609s | it's it's fun it's cool and there's like |
| 610s | good reasons to go participate yeah and |
| 613s | each of the different towers and places |
| 615s | you fight at you know the the geometry |
| 617s | and the landscape around it's a little |
| 619s | different like where's the river where's |
| 620s | the trees and it affects like where you |
| 622s | know different factions come and fight |
| 623s | from it's like so it's like we added 30 |
| 626s | new maps to opr or something not that |
| 628s | we're never going to add Maps |
| 630s | this is this at least scratches that |
| 632s | itch a little bit until then that's what |
| 634s | we call breaking into |
| 636s | jail all right |
| 639s | Carrie all right so the one thing I |
| 643s | absolutely loved that we added this last |
| 645s | year is seasons of course being on the |
| 648s | quest team I absolutely love more story |
| 651s | content and interacting with more NPCs |
| 653s | Grace is fantastic Xander with his |
| 656s | confusion about what is and isn't |
| 658s | vegetarian reminds me very much of my |
| 660s | dad uh just the fact that they have a |
| 663s | little baby lynx called dog is fantastic |
| 667s | but aside from the quests I love chasing |
| 670s | after getting those bingo cards just |
| 672s | filling out the the seasonal content I |
| 675s | can get into a game and I can basically |
| 678s | I if I know that I'm going into a |
| 680s | certain area I can be like all right |
| 681s | well if I make sure that I fight with a |
| 683s | sword and I take out these enemy types |
| 685s | that's going to be two squares of my |
| 686s | card so what else can I do in the hour |
| 688s | that I have free right now to play to |
| 691s | like get get a row filled in so yeah I |
| 694s | absolutely love that we've added the |
| 696s | seasonal content and it's just so great |
| 699s | and I love |
| 700s | Seasons yeah I find it fun just leveling |
| 703s | and you know when you'll see it pop |
| 705s | levels it just feels good hey I got |
| 706s | something to open I got a you know some |
| 708s | kind of present of some type yeah the |
| 709s | the free stamps that we added in season |
| 712s | 3 help a ton also right like CU they |
| 714s | they make it a little easier to get the |
| 716s | card and the lines and it's just fun |
| 718s | yeah especially when you have that Gap |
| 719s | that you can't fill in a card you got it |
| 721s | yeah I think it's just me left |
| 724s | so I love so many of the features we've |
| 726s | already talked about and it's hard to |
| 728s | pick two but uh mine are going to be |
| 731s | interesting one of them is raid groups |
| 733s | um which if you would have told me I I |
| 736s | did not realize the impact raid groups |
| 738s | were going to have on the game and I |
| 739s | think it's just hilarious to go do a |
| 741s | chest run and immediately get a group of |
| 743s | 20 or to go do a portal run influence |
| 746s | race all these things to be able to find |
| 747s | groups it's it's changed how you play |
| 750s | with other players and it's just it's |
| 753s | just it's the social aspect of the game |
| 755s | has gotten so much better because of it |
| 757s | so I I think that's a huge game changer |
| 760s | and the other one's the gear rework |
| 762s | um you know there were good reasons we |
| 764s | had Baines and Wards at the time and |
| 765s | there were good reasons for expertise at |
| 767s | the time but as the game and the players |
| 769s | and everything evolved it made sense to |
| 771s | get rid of them and uh it just feels |
| 773s | better like the end game is so much more |
| 776s | clear now it's so much more |
| 778s | understandable easy easy to engage in |
| 780s | and it's fun you know and you mentioned |
| 782s | artifacts I can't remember whose |
| 783s | favorite artifact was |
| 785s | yours that tying into the you know |
| 787s | replaces a lot of that stuff and I think |
| 789s | overall it just creates an awesome |
| 790s | environment |
| 792s | so so it's been a big year if you like |
| 794s | all the things we just talked about and |
| 797s | that's just the last year that's not |
| 798s | even since launch |
| 800s | um but the truth is we wouldn't be here |
| 803s | without you know all the players |
| 806s | engaging in the forun ATT tum playing |
