RE: Gaming - In queue for New World
Well, the queues are horrible, but if you're able to get in early (like me), it's pretty fun. I haven't done much combat or dungeons or whatever though. I enjoy solo play and gathering and crafting. It's kept me busy for three days straight. Can't talk about long-term enjoyment though, obviously!
Could try a few hours on Steam. I'm not sure how many hours you can play and still get your money back if you don't enjoy it, but you can look into that if you want to give it a quick try. Shame you haven't had a chance to try one of the betas!
Sadly missed the betas completely, I think you can only play for an hour which sucks because to get into a game and really decide if you like it or not you have to play for a few hours. It does look like one of those grinding games and I can't play any of those, way to busy with studies and work.
For me, it doesn't feel like a griding game, although I do spend a lot of my time gathering. I guess it's because I keep getting distracted with other tasks inbetween. What I like about the game is that you can drown yourself in gathering and crafting, but you can also just go for questing or PvPing. You don't really get pushed into one direction, so you just decide for yourself what you enjoy most.
I usually do a lot of building and such. But I hardly have any time... girlfriends take more than just your money. Is there no killing? Where those pvp guys come kill the farmers/builders?
There is killing, but you decide whether to turn on PvP or not and you can switch this setting in the city. So if you're looking for a peaceful experience, you turn PvP off and just go gather where the NPC mobs aren't too high level. If you're looking for action, you turn PvP on or join a war or something like that. I'm not sure how those work though, as I haven't joined any yet.
Can you make multiple characters, I feel like this game would have a death penalty for dying and probably lose skills or something important?
You can make two characters, one per world or world group I think it was... What I've noticed when dying is equipment damage.
So you can't have 2 in the same world? Would you have to have multiple accounts? What is the world group?
I'm not 100% sure to be honest, so I'd advice you to google all of these questions.
