Popular streamer Asmongold recently stopped playingWorld of Warcraftand as a result, he’s given some other MMOs a try. After delving into the beta for Amazon’sNew World, Asmongold has a lot of criticism for it.
During a recent Twitch stream, Asmongold went on the record with Dexerto to discuss the pros and cons of Amazon Gaming’sNew World. Among the criticisms ofNew World, Asmongold discussed the lack of enemy variety, the net coding, and the game’s PvP. While his rant came off as negative at points, the popular streamer still has hope for the upcoming MMO.

According toAsmongold,New World’s PvP is boring because players just stand in front of each other and repeatedly click to attack. The popular Twitch streamer was also quick to point out the questionable net coding inNew Worldthat led to server malfunctions and countless disconnects among the player base. This even led to several frustrated streamers who had waited for theNew Worldbeta.
New World’s enemies don’t show much variety according to Asmongold as a lower level alligator will behave in the exact same way as a more powerful one. Asmongold remains critical of theAmazon Gaming MMOsimply reskinning specific mobs to look different as it doesn’t provide the variety players crave. TheWoWveteran also pointed out that there needs to be a skill gap in defeating certain enemies.
Asmongold spoke very candidly, saying “the mob variety is pathetic, and their solution to that is to reskin certain mobs and make them look different. Well, it’s just the same NPC, it does the same exact things.”
While Asmongold is used toWorld of Warcraftwhere there’s loads of enemy variety, he thinks too many mobs inNew Worldlook the same. Most players are also able to defeat the same enemies, while Asmongold is looking for enemies that require practice to defeat. According to the popular Twitch streamer, the enemies don’t provide this crucial combat challenge.
Since thedelay ofNew World, Asmongold tweeted words of encouragement to the Amazon Gaming team and gave a couple of suggestions. Asmongold also recommended that the team add a two-handed greatsword toNew Worldand that they add higher ceilings for crafting and gathering. This may provide players with more incentive to pursue crafting and gathering rather than just leveling up and questing.
Although Asmongold noted several bugs and other issues withNew World, he remains hopeful that it will release in a polished state. He has commended the team at Amazon Gaming for being receptive to feedback in a positive way. Asmongold also pointed out how much betterNew Worldwas recently compared to its previous stage of development.
