They are not even the same type of genre.

you do everything in valheim that you do in NW. all the crafting, and mob after mob for resources, that are worth nothing. the only difference is the gear in valheim is worth making, the gear in NW isnt worth making, because its still worth 0 gold regardless of what the game tells you.

NW is a MMO while valheim is at most a limited multiplayer,
Valheim can be played with mods and cheats, singleplayer.
While NW is not that kind of game.
And to say "only difference is the gear" dont hold true, at all.
Are you also telling me NW have a world thats different from server to server? or is it a standard map? Since valheim gave seeds and tends to have different worlds were not one is the same.

Completely different game. Only similarity is they are played online with a lot of people. But to each their own, right? Most MMO's are identical in what you do in them. Most survival games are also the same. The new ones are "fresh" but after a while they tend to assimilate a lot of features.

NW is great with friends, not so much solo. The gearing is like Destiny and Vermintide which I'm not a big fan of. Valheim can be played effectively with or without which is why I prefer Valheim.

Valheim is a coop game not a full on multiplayer game, and not even close to been a mmo. At launch and for the longest while 8 people fighting a boss or even at the same server, was really unplayable. But i guess we define "lot" as a different number.
valheim is singleplayer to coop. and we all know what mmos are like 100s if not 1000s.

Valheim is fun and all, but come on. There's only a few bosses, and they're all easy, and can be defeated solo. It's fun for building, and that can get old after a while. New World is a completely different game and requires more teamwork late game.

Almost 400 hours in and this game still entertains.

NW is an MMO so wouldn't expect much from it other than grief.

Been playing since a week or 2 after release, still going.

I simply would not play "New World" right now, for a myriad of reasons including the safety of your GPU.

* EVGA 3090 GPUs have been bricked by the game because it ignores power settings, forcing your GPU to use well over 100% power (120%+ in a few cases).

This causes the sub-par components (this is well-documented) used in those cards to fail, leaving you with a $1000+ paper weight. EVGA even added a "New World Game Issue" to their list of RMA reasons. EVGA themselves received.. 24? cards returned for this reason. Third-party repair shops probably received well over that number.

Port Royal benchmarks at the highest settings did not do anything similar to an EVGA 3090. "New World" did all of this in the SETTINGS MENU. Many people, after making changes and clicking "Save" were instantly met with a black screen.

The game will even let you set resolutions that your panel isn't capable of. Most games have logic built-in to prevent this, unless you force it (DSR Upscaling, I believe?) with the driver.

For this reason alone, I would be weary of even playing the game despite not having a 30-series card. If it will cause a 3090 to ignore whatever power setting you've set.. other cards may suffer a similar fate depending on your driver version.

* The game client is client-side authoritative.

This means that, with the correct knowledge, a player can do any number of things, including: duping currency, altering statistics, altering enemy EXP, becoming invincible, warping, etc., among some more dangerous things.

The chat box itself was found to be able to EXECUTE CODE. All of this is a novice-level no no coming from a multi-billion dollar corporation who could have very well hired expert-level coders.

The game essentially needs re-coded from the ground up to be completely fixed, from what I understand.


I would simply stay away from anything "Amazon Games" for the foreseeable future.

All RTX3090's have the defect that New World has unearthed. Nvidia's power delivery spec is to blame. The RTX3000 series were always trash cards that had power issues because they were built on Samsung's poorly developed 10NM node instead of TSMC's 7NM.

The last good Nvidia GPU were the Pascals. The rest have just brute-forced their wins by throwing more and more power down the pipeline.

I really wish more people understood that.

I see people with 30-series cards having trouble daily in all manner of games, from Valheim all the way to MMORPGs.

I wouldn't use one if it was given to me.

While some might say that of course Amazon would deny culpability, New World should not be blamed for all the GPU deaths despite what everyone might be telling you. EVGA has already confirmed that its first batch of RTX 3090 cards built a year ago had FAULTY SOLDER joints, which caused the cards to die under the strain of New World — and if it wasn't New World, it would have been some other game or application.

The reason EVGA has a RMA for New World users is because they know they released faulty cards. Notice you don't hear of problems with ASUS and other brands?
