| 0s | I bet you have a spreadsheet. |
|---|---|
| 2s | I do. |
| 2s | I do have a spreadsheet. |
| 4s | It's like a to-do list. |
| 4s | I worry that if I did that, it would become like too much structure. |
| 8s | I'm never going to get to the fun moments or the more immersive moments. |
| 18s | Hey, everybody, I'm Scot. |
| 19s | Normally, we'd be here today doing a New World Dev update, but we want to try something different. |
| 23s | We have a new show called Forged in Aeternum, where we're going to be talking about all-things New World. |
| 28s | Today we're going to talk about different playstyles. |
| 32s | And I'm super happy to be here with Dave V, the Creative Director, and Drew, our Product Manager. |
| 36s | When I play, I like to go out and just kind of get lost in the world and do the experience. |
| 40s | Sometimes I'll, you know, drive hard for the endgame gear. |
| 44s | But when we talk... |
| 46s | why don't you talk about how you play a little bit? |
| 47s | I would say the there's so many things to do in New World, sometimes I feel like when I'm logging in, I want to always have an objective. |
| 54s | Like, this is what I'm doing this session that helps me a lot. |
| 57s | I want to get all my Gypsums for the day. |
| 59s | I want to raise a Trade Skill by 5 - 10 points. |
| 62s | I want to complete five Expeditions for the night - something like that. |
| 65s | I've been playing on fresh start worlds. |
| 67s | Obviously, I drove very, very hard to get level 60 as soon as possible. |
| 72s | Almost at 600 Gear Score a few days in. |
| 75s | Yeah, just try and optimize my time just because there's so much to do and I feel like there's never enough time to play New World. |
| 82s | I bet you have a spreadsheet. |
| 84s | I do have a spreadsheets. |
| 85s | It's like a to-do list. |
| 87s | When I started on the team, I remember people were like, "You know, what do you do to like optimize?". |
| 91s | And I remember linking a spreadsheet to some of the leadership and people being like, "Oh, you like, really like to optimize." I worry that if I did that, it would become like too much structure. |
| 102s | Like the other night, I wanted to just go get some Orichalcum. |
| 105s | And, you know, in Shattered Mountain, down in the pit? |
| 107s | Where you're fighting with four or five people? |
| 109s | That can be fun for 5 hours or that can be fun for 5 minutes, depending on how it's going. |
| 113s | And the other night, I got stuck down there for like an hour, hour and 20 minutes. |
| 116s | And it was a blast, though. |
| 117s | Like it was a lot of fun and competing, yet helping each other. |
| 120s | You know what I mean? |
| 121s | Yeah. |
| 121s | But I feel like I miss if I had to do these other things. |
| 124s | And if I only have an hour and a half to play, I'm never going to get to the fun moments or the more immersive moments. |
| 132s | Yeah, it could definitely be tough. |
| 133s | I think for me, one of the appeals is that I always feel like I'm making progress in my game session. |
| 139s | So I always feel like I accomplish something, which for me helps a lot of like, "Oh, now tomorrow I want to go accomplish this thing.". |
| 146s | It's like almost like a checklist every day. |
| 148s | Like I said, I have a spreadsheet that I fill in often. |
| 151s | I think I'm a little in the middle. |
| 153s | Like, there's a couple of things I like to do, like Crafting Cooldowns every day. |
| 157s | I like to do a couple of dungeons. |
| 159s | But then I sort of see what people are doing. |
| 160s | I go on a Chest Run and see what my Company is doing and sort of like go with the flow a little. |
| 164s | One of the things I think's neat about playstyles is using the Marketplace or not - the Trading Post, because some people I know are very averse to using the Trading Post. |
| 174s | I actually read an interesting thread about someone who was trying to do a no-Trading Post playthrough. |
| 178s | And I think that's sort of interesting - where you're completely self-sufficient; you gather and craft everything yourself. |
| 183s | I use it a lot. |
| 184s | I think it's sort of fun. |
| 185s | It's a good way to make a little extra coin and to sort of get things quickly. |
| 189s | When you looked at me and said, "No, some -" |
| 193s | Some people, some people - " |
| 195s | I don't like to drop hundreds of thousands of coins on items. |
| 197s | I feel... |
| 199s | It feels more rewarding when I either craft or get those in the world. |
| 202s | I'm not at all averse to selling stuff on the Trading Post. |
| 205s | I spend a fair amount of time - Just not buying? |
| 207s | I'll buy things if I'm trying to level up Crafting or focusing on, you know, one of those, but I'm not going to -. |
| 214s | Shouldn't say "not.". |
| 215s | It's a rare day where I'm going to spend big coin on a on a piece of gear. |
| 218s | Sometimes just to fill out, like if I have a hole in my build and I just sort of like, I'm sick of waiting for something. |
| 224s | But I'll put a cap at like 4000 instead of 40,000 because I want to go for - 4000? |
| 229s | You can't buy anything for 4000. |
| 230s | Absolutely. |
| 231s | You can buy a 600 pair of shoes, boots, for 4000. |
| 235s | You probably get some pretty decent two-perk pair of shoes. |
| 238s | Something to carry me until I go and solve the problem myself in the world, which is, to me, that's where I get that excitement when I when I get that drop. |
| 246s | And when I go buy the best thing, I'm basically telling myself, "Oh, you're not going to you're never going to beat this moment in the game." Interesting. |
| 254s | For me, I see it as, I'm beating that moment in the game because I manage my money well. |
| 260s | And then money is just a currency and a way of acquisition of some of the best items in the game. |
| 266s | And so for me, it feels like such an accomplishment to pick up that piece that I've been waiting for in my build, like a Shirking Fort Resil Third Perk Chess Piece. |
| 275s | Like I got a Shirking Perk... |
| 276s | Shirking... |
| 278s | Say it five times real fast. |
| 279s | Fort Resil Freedom Medium Chest that I saw on the Trading Post for, like, you know, 200,000. |
| 285s | I'd be thrilled to pick that up. |
| 286s | And it's just going to work in so many builds for me. |
| 288s | Yeah, I would prefer to buy trophies and things like that, when I'm spending my money, I lean more toward those things. |
| 295s | All right. |
| 296s | Well, it's time for the Community Question. |
