With almost 100 hours in New World and only level 35, I can honestly say this game is not worth your time. New World should have been delayed another year with the amount of bugs and issues it's facing now. The enemy variety alone is an absolute joke. Once you grind to get to the first dungeon you too will realize that this game was rushed out. The first dungeon shouldn't even be called a dungeon. It's comparable to an ESO delve at best. You will have fought the enemies inside the first dungeon, outside the dungeon in random areas over and over again before you even make it to the dungeon. There are absolutely no boss mechanics at all either. The quests in the game are the most repetitive quests I have ever played in any MMO. Kill enemies/ search chests. That is literally it. The game also slows to almost a grinding halt once you hit level 25. So enjoy the long and agonizing pain through 100s of more quests to get to the next dungeon which is level 35. But wait, it gets even better. Once you hit level 35 and are ready to run the 2nd dungeon in the game, don't think it's that easy. You'll need to complete even more quests that the game didn't previously explain to you OR grind corruption quests to make a key for said dungeon. Oh, and you can't have any help from your friends when it comes to this because the materials you need to grind for that key, are bind on pickup. The PVP (which originally was the main focus of the game when no PVE content was even thought about) is completely broken with exploits and lag. The PVP missions you get do not reward you enough to justify flagging yourself and risking being killed (once you're killed by another player, you lose your PVP quests you've picked up from your faction) Also, killing another player gives you no reward so there really is no point in flagging yourself for PVP, ever. Like I said, all in all this game needed another year of development at the minimum and I don't really trust Amazon to fix this game. I have a feeling they will try and release multiple expansions in the future to make this a full game just like Bungie did with the first Destiny. We shall see.
