Rested XP - A New World Podcast

Rested XP is a New World Podcast hosted by MTBtrigger and Ronal.

On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about their first run through the Dynasty Expedition.  The expedition was technically for characters of slightly lower level compared to the pair at level 60.  Dynasty still posed a challenge as this was MTB’s first attempt at healing in New World and Ronal’s first experience with tanking.  Both have extensive experience in both categories in other MMOs, but the action combat system allows for and creates unique challenges which the pair discusses in this episode.

In addition to the role changes, MTB also talked about the Void Gauntlet, the new weapon added in the 1.1 patch.  The weapon seemed like a natural pair to the life staff, but MTB found the synergies to run deep with both weapons which was further solidified by the challenging encounters in Dynasty.

Finally, there is a closing thought about the hope directed towards Amazon not giving up on PvE content.  The game has publicly been developed with a PvP mindset with many of the PvE elements relying on PvP features.  MTB and Ronal both resonated with the idea that New World has a massive opportunity for unique and engaging content in the PvE space. 

All this and more in the episode!  Good luck out there adventurers!

Rested XP is a New World Podcast hosted by MTBtrigger and Ronal.

After a brief hiatus, MTBTrigger and Ronal return to talk about the thing that lures all of us into the games we love… having fun.  Life tends to throw curveballs and our hosts get them just like everybody else.  MTB talks about how he needed a game, which ended up being New World, to just be able to sit down and relax for 20 minutes during a 12 day sickness streak led by his kids.

Ronal uses this opportunity to dig into what parts of the game both of the hosts find to be fun and specifically they dive into what they do with small pockets of time.  Both have very different strategies and objectives when faced with limited time to game.

What do you do when you have 15 or 20 minutes of focused New World playtime?

Both MTB and Ronal are economy focused, but in VERY different ways.  The pair discuss this and the strategies they’ve developed as a result of continuing to learn about the economy and professions in New World.

All this and more in the episode!  Good luck out there!

Rested XP is a New World Podcast hosted by MTBtrigger and Ronal.

Gathering in New World is presented to you in one of the very first quests you get upon character creation and is pointed out on nearly every environment and creature based interaction in the game.

Ronal and MTBtrigger dive deep, or perhaps mine deep, into all things gathering in this episode.  The episode starts with their strategy for gathering professions after learning that one character has access to all professions.  They go on to talk about the differences between New World and other MMOs, as it relates to gathering.

On the surface, having access to everything can make the crafting, refining, and gathering systems seem “bland” or “easy,” but Ronal and MTB talk about how having access to everything and how connected they are actually leads to interesting decisions.

How did you manage the lack of bag space in the beginning of the game?

Did you focus on one gathering profession? Or did you do all of them like MTBtrigger did?

Some great stories and funny moments have been caused by New World Gathering and we can’t wait to hear yours…

All this and more in the episode!  Good luck out there nut trackers.

Rested XP is a New World Podcast hosted by MTBtrigger and Ronal.

New World went live one day prior to this recording.  MTBtrigger and Ronal have a lot to say about how the launch went, what their plans are going forward, and what the first 24 hours in the game looked like.

The pair talk about their expectations for the Triple-A MMO launch from Amazon, as well as  the significant number of reports that came in about server stability, queue times for getting to play, and server capacity.

Were you able to play on launch?  What about the following weekend?

What has been your experience since launch?

All this and more in the episode!

MTBtrigger and Ronal are starting a New World Podcast!

It has been a while since the podcasting pair has played a new game the both wanted to dig in to.  The last time it happened was Escape From Tarkov, but New World is just around the corner and MTB and Ronal are excited to dig in.

On this episode, MTB and Ronal talk about the various systems they experienced during the two betas they played in.  While only experiencing the early game, in both of their cases it led to them wanting more and being excited for the games release.

The episode wraps with a discussion, from each of their viewpoints, about the most exciting features of New World and the opportunities and things they’d like to see developed in the future.

All this and more in the episode!
