The Skippable Backstory Cutsce- I mean paragraph: New World. Sweetie. Darling. Love of My Life. You may have addressed issues that wouldn’t have been present if you just delayed the game’s release. You may have pinned a lot of said issues on AI programming to fix things on the fly. You may have even disabled transfers and character creation for a time due to said rushing of release… But I love a good roast, so thank you Amazon. Also, I’m don’t know how much my knowledge of Post-Colonialist or Critical Race Theory will be relevant (spoiler alert, not much since I haven’t played it yet), but there’s always our PS4 and Gold Edition PS5 versions of Greedfall on our store given its supposed similarities to New World.

For the blessedly uninitiated: New World is an open-world RPG action game. Also, not gonna lie, before I found out of the oodles of bugs and issues, the New World trailer really does paint a picture for a (hypothetically speaking) pretty good game.

Canadian YouTuber and Twitch streamer Shroud has claimed New World will be seeing an improved gameplay patch, though some players aren’t as enthusiastic as others.

The developers of New World announced in a recent blog post that the main combat changes will include tweaking of dodge-cancels, weapon swapping and attack input windows. More specifically, the devs want weapon swapping to be more integral to combat, maybe hinting at a sort of contextual weapon weakness system where some tools work better on specific enemies than others (though let’s not mince words, it’s mostly because sometimes you end up attacking with your last weapon even after clicking to change to another one).

There will also be some changes to some in-game skills to encourage more use of multiple abilities for different situations.

The post ended with the developer’s stating they want combat to feel as fluid as possible, also encouraging feedback from players… So you got me New World devs. Taking the mick is fun, but I fancy myself a bit of an “ArTiStE” at the best of times, so I understand how it can feel to work long and hard on something that doesn’t turn out quite right… I mean, not right now, because I get paid to make non sequitur jokes about vampiric burlap sacks and gaming news, but I hope things pan out for you New World devs.

Amazon‘s foray into the world of gaming with New World has been off to a Rocky start!

First it’s removing character customization from full in-game servers, then gear clipping woes, a bug for kicking off players via messages, reducing number of players and more! Patches have fixed most of the main issues, including the most recent glitch, a method of invincibility received by moving the window of the game during play.This sparked a conversation from some (and by some, I mean Reddit and Twitter discourse) questioning whether the exploit was intentional due to Amazon being ‘client authoritative’, which isn’t exactly the most likely presumption. I watched CJ The X’s multi-hour long heavily cited deep dive into Jeff Bezos and reading Bo Burnham’s soul for filth, one of the big takeaways from that video is essentially “say what you will, but Bezos loves the customer the way a Fujoshi loves yaoi paddles“… I’m exaggerating, but not by much!

While you’re here, I’ve heard some compare New World to a ‘Colonialism simulator’, so if you want a story-based gaming experience that definitely touches on a perspective on colonialist takeover, have a butcher’s at our store for our special edition PS5 and PS4 versions of Greedfall.

On Friday, Amazon stated in an official forum site for New World that the game is ‘not client authoritative’. The statement then goes on to read as:

 ‘New World is entirely server based. At a high level the model is this: clients dispatch controller inputs to the server, and the server then checks that input for limits that might invalidate it, then if accepted uses it as an input to a character (“actor” is our internal name) within server memory’.

This ‘server based’ claim was also supported by community manager Luxendra, stating: ‘we do full physics detail for all such actions. Upon receiving the outcome, either hit or miss, the client will adjust its visual display to match what the server has determined. There are some client side tricks we use here to ‘stretch’ the animation while the client is waiting for the server answer, but the outcome is always based only on the server answer’… In lay terms ‘we do lots of checking and managing to make sure things run smoothly in-game, but at the end of the day, the server’s own analysis and outcome is king’. So, oddly enough, THANK GOD the machine didn’t pick up an issue this time round, because again, CJ’s infinite droves of galaxy-brained genius incoming, but it’s a very real possibility that cyborg transhumanism will indeed become a thing (and to a degree already is). Even Stephen Hawking and a bunch of other big-name scientists signed the Open Letter on Artificial Intelligence that essentially boiled down to “don’t fiddle too hard with Artificial Intelligence, or it may fiddle you back”… I’m exaggerating, but not by much!

As of yet, around 8% of New World players have reached max level and the game is sitting comfortably as one of Steam‘s Top 3 most played games.
