A New World player reached the level limit without joining a faction,
sparking a debate about what should be done for players without faction.
Since its successful launch, New World’s popularity has been
incredible, and while some players have complained about the limitations
of the game, others are looking for ways to take advantage of them, or
at least make encountering them fun. Many players buy New World Coins to
upgrade themselves quickly, and an indecisive player recently upgraded
himself to level 60, which is the current level limit of New World, but
has never joined any faction. This seems to have had some quite
important effects on their game process.
Redditor TheBrotado
shared screenshots of their resume, showing the names of their
characters, their titles as Exalted Elder, and their grayed-out resumes.
The biography requires TheBrotado not to join one of the three factions
of the New World in order to continue their story, which shows that
they do not have any faction. A user said that the New World faction can
be compared with the Fallout series' Brotherhood of Steel research
division, combat division, and religious division, which may explain why
some players are upset about militarism and religious fanaticism.
However, TheBrotado did observe that they decided not to contact the
game's factions, which prevented them from obtaining Azoth Staff, which
could only be obtained through main missions that they could not unlock.
Players can also
Buy New World Coins in the mission.
TheBrotado
joked that their indecision stems from the inability to choose between
green, yellow and purple, and said that they are waiting for a
blue-themed faction to appear. In fact, as long as players buy New World
Coins, whether they join a faction or not, their game will be easier.
Another user added that they wanted neutrality to be an effective option
with their own storyline, but was disappointed. Being neutral will
actually prevent access to future missions and New World's PvP system.
The third user expressed his desire to see neutral players become
mercenaries and temporarily cooperate with any faction, which allows
them to participate in PvP and advance the main story mission.
It
seems that many other New World fans sympathize with neutral players
and are considering ways to involve them in the parts of the game they
currently miss. One possibility is that New World lets the guild decide
the faction instead of letting individual players decide. If they don't
like the way things work, this may allow the entire guild to jump from
the faction immediately. It can also allow for more dynamic,
player-driven factions. In any case, Buy
New World Coins can enable players to upgrade quickly.
