New World Solo Players Are Being Punished By The Into The Void Update

Among these changes, there were heavy nerfs to loot from defeating enemies in PvE and from loot chests too, which made New World more of a grind than it already was. The category of players that was possibly hit the hardest is that of solo players, as a Reddit user by the name of Sans_19 states in their post on the platform. The main problem is that it’s almost impossible to improve one’s Gear Score in New World now if they play alone because there is no content that caters to solo players, but rather it’s all about finding groups to steamroll content with and hope to increase the watermark that way.

Another Redditor states that one of the best bets for solo players in New World is gathering and crafting to farm resources and then purchase gear. The counterargument for this is that solo players are still left out of the best activities, so getting better gear is possible, but not an enjoyable experience.

A fellow MMO fan instead replies by highlighting how Final Fantasy 14 does allow solo players to get gear anyway, which is quite rare within the genre. Right now, New World is not in a good state because of all the current issues, and the overpowered Musket exploit found by Shroud doesn’t help.

New World is available now on PC.
