New World has only been with us a few days, but what a launch it has been. Apparently, Amazon had no idea that a lot of people would want to try out its MMO, so long login queues have dominated the headlines. Couple that with some angry players and bricked GPUs, and you’ve got yourself a pretty 🍌eventful launch week.
New World Opens On 700,000 Concurrent Players, And It’s Too Much To Handle
In what should be an overwhelmingly positive story for the studio, New World shot to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the most played game on St꧟eam on💜 its first day. At 700,000 players, the interest in trying out Amazon’s first real punt in the gaming world (Crucible? Never heard of it) was just too much, and servers quickly filled up. With each capped at 2,000 players, there weren’t enough to go around, and some even had wait times of over 200 hours. The devs have been adding more every day, and 1🌸68澳洲幸运5开奖网:hope to have reduced wait times by next week.
The Game Gets Review Bombed Because No One Can Play It
What happens when you have a bunch of angry gamers? Your game gets hundreds of crap reviews. On both Steam and Metacritic, people are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:leaving ove🌠rwhelmingly negative ratings, not because they didn’t like what they played, but because they can’t play at all. Many are irritated that th🐟ey have spent money on a game they are yet to actually get into, and their efforts have already brought the Metacritic score down to 2.6 out of ten at the time of writing. At least they kept themselves busy in those long queues, eh?
Players Refuse To Leave The Game Once They’re In
Here’s another side effect of not having enough server space: once players get in, they won’t leave. As discovered by some fans on Reddit, players are leaving their charact💃er to run into walls while they go ๊AFK, rather than log out and get to the back of the queue all over again. There you go - next time you need to pop out, just leave something heavy on the W key and leave it as🐟 is. Amazingly, other players didn’t even seem th𝓰at mad about it, and understand why this is being done with the wait times so ridiculously high.
GPUs Are Playing Up After Launching New World - Again
The news isn’t currently as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:widespread as it was during the beta, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it looks like some GPUs stilꦕl✅ aren’t getting along with New World. A PC manufacturer reported that they are 🔯being sent accounts of GPUs bricking after playing the game.🅺 The same issue has been reported on the New World subreddit, specifically with a 3080TI GPU. If you want to avoid this fate, capping the framerate is supposed to help.
No, You Can’t Cyberbully Jeff Bezos
168澳洲幸꧒运5开奖网:As our previous editor-in-chief can a🎃ttest, we’re all about bald jokes at TheGamer. So it was heartbreaking to learn that you can’t cyber⛄bully the richest bald in the world himself, as “Bezos” is a banned word in player usernames. You can’t get clever wit🧜h it either - B3zoz and Bez0s don’t work, apparently. The same goes f🐈or the word Amazon, which makes even less sense given its other uses.
