One Toke over the Friday

Meng that's probably the best one paragraph review of a game I've read in a while :)

Still all in on New World, warts and all.

How is it for solo play?

I've played some of the content solo, but there are two dungeons so far that are required make progress on the main story and those can't be done solo.  There could be more dungeons later in that category.  If you don't complete them you will not be able to do some of the endgame content.  The crafting is very deep and is probably best done with others so you can share materials rather than trying to do everything yourself.  I rejoined my old guild, The Wanderers, and we're playing on the Falais server which is East Coast US.  It's a laid back mature group and Grogs here would be welcome if you want to play.

I might just transfer over to your server.  I'm currently in Asphodel East Coast US.  The economy on this server is awful and very hard to make big money on.  The people in general are nice though. 

I agree you can do quite a lot solo but to advance your character past certain points they make you play a dungeon with another group of people.  Wish there was a way to do this without dealing with people but I suppose you could play New World indefinitely solo.  You just can't complete some of the story line quests.  Which I'm beginning to see as no big deal to complete anyway.  Plenty other things to do without completing the story.

  Thanks!  But maybe I'm just tired of multiplayer FPS for the time being.

I never warmed up to MP gaming no matter the genre!

  MP gaming can be fun, but maybe only in relatively small doses.  At least that's how I feel at the moment.

Last night I was lucky enough to find a group of randoms in New World to help me with my main story line quest.  I'd almost given up on ever completing that story mission simply because it was PVE in nature.  The randoms I found last night all had the same goal and after a brief text chat (in game) we joined together and completed the mission.  No talking at all, not even on microphone.  But we all knew what to do and got the job done. 

Maybe I was extremely lucky but I'm so glad to get that one mission out of the way and with a group that I didn't really have to talk to. 

I don't mind MP in general as long as it's a guarantee that I don't have to talk to anyone.  The only one's I do talk to are either known friends or a friend of a known friend.  Otherwise I find that random people you talk to in MP games seem to be overly obsessed with talking about twigs and berries and butts all of which I'd assume not talk about.

I'd rather pull out my fingernails with pliers than ever join a PUG again.  Luckily my old guild, The Wanderers, is playing and it has been much more fun playing with them than trying to solo the game.  Now if only AGS could fix the seemingly never ending stream of exploits...

Moments of silent cooperative understanding like that are what make online games for me.   :dreamer:
