Glad I'm not the only one enjoying it!! 😄 I've been reading through the Steam discussions every now and then and there are quite a few people disillusioned with it, complaining that the combat isn't good enough, that there's not enough to do, quests are boring, etc, but it's the very start of a brand new MMO, content and other elements will be added as time goes on!
I still love WoW every now and then! Can't keep me away xD plus, I've spent so much money on it over the years that the idea of quitting forever hurts my imaginary wallet. I have this issue though, where if I haven't played something in a while I completely forget how to play it and feel the need to start from the very start all over again. New World looks simple enough in that regard! Click to attack, 3 abilities, easy to remember. 😄
My partner tried most of the weapons and settled on really liking the musket, he's usually a tank in games so was an interesting choice! I really enjoyed the bow, but I'm disappointed that there's no dagger weapon, so will need to play around a bit to choose what my secondary will be. Some sort of melee for close combat I think.
I can't wait to get right into the gathering and crafting! 😅 New game comes out, everyone's all, "yeah, gameplay! yeah, combat! raiding all the forts! doing all this and that!" and I'm just... "Woo! I found some leather! I'm going to make me a new coat!" xD
I'm not too worried about the amount of content yet. Like you, I will probably be diving into the professions and there's plenty to do there!
I'm not the biggest fan of the combat, but that's just because I'm a crappy gamer with crappy reflexes 😅 Hubby, the better gamer, is much more excited about it!
