One of the largest MMORPG

The YouTuber Josh Strife Hayes has been moving to MMORPGs for years. In his series Worst MMO Ever he tests games that many do not even have on the screen to see if they are really so bad. In the latest edition, the Spielenerwinter was the series in which he has invested thousands of hours.

What's in the video? Hayes is usually testing for its video series new MMORPGs for 8 to 10 play hours and then summarizes its opinion in 30 to 60 minutes and will eventually shut down current Steam reviews. But the latest edition is a very special.

For the YouTuber has gambled over many years of new winter and referred to it as his favorite MMORPG. Hayes has originally founded his YouTube channel to share guides to ne winter.

But now there are so many things to disturb the MMORPG that he can not recommend it even in good conscience. The reasons for this are the so-called Content-Vault and Pay2win, which should have been overhand tail in Never winter.

Already to get started in the video he says: This video hurts me so much because Never winter online was my main MMORPG for many years. Difficult years, and it helped me through this time. I was addicted to the game.

Negative story content and pay2win are the big problems

What disturbs Hayes at the Content? At the beginning, the YouTuber shows some beautiful sides of the game. For example, there is praise for the action-packed combat system, the good introduction in the first missions and for challenging opponents and bosses that exist right from the start.

Also, the mounts that offer different bonuses and a unique attack, he praises at the beginning, because one — once unlocked — can mix these bonuses as pleasure and mood.

But the mood changes in the course of the video. For example, Hayes bounces on the adjustments around the levels, which were made in the summer of 2021:

The Max Level was lowered from 80 to 20 There are no experience more, but you are growing about progress in history A new training room was introduced, the Hayes did not like, because you are torn from the game and the story

There were some old campaigns removed, so the players simply can not experience them anymore

Hayes also bothers the fact that some characters were exchanged with the update. New players will hardly notice the problems, but those who are deeper in the story and knows the old content, would surprise why these changes were made at all.

What is the greatest criticism of Never winter? Most of the YouTuber destroys the Pay2Win aspect. That should be huge in ne winter. Hayes says himself: In the shop you can buy real power. I show how you can buy directly into the endgame.

At the beginning of the video, Hayes already showed the various peoples in the game. Each of them offers another bonus. Therefore, there is objectively the best people, but for which zen needs to be paid. The price is 3,500 zen.

Zen gets her in game and for real money. 3,500 zen corresponds to about 28 euros.

Besides, your buffs needed to get you for a different campaign. Suitably, however, there are campaign tokens. The closing a campaign immediately without playing so that you can scarify the rewards. Such a degree costs 700 zen (5.50 euros).

There are also the following useful items in the shop:

A boost directly on the max level Enchantment for your weapon that make it stronger When upgrading equipment, the material can break for this, but there are items in the shop There are Companions that you get in the game, but also in the shop There are the strongest mounts in the shop, who have their own bonuses

There are also items that revive you right on the spot before the Dungeon Boss generates life. So you can theoretically defeat bosses through the use of real money, no matter how much skill you have.

Premium membership as a coronation: In addition to the content in the shop, there is also a premium membership. They bring you more bonuses, the more months you pay for a blow.

Those who buy directly for 12 months, among other things, +1% additional life points for the entire group, more In game currency, no penalties in death and access to the bank of anywhere in the world.

Currency packages are good for the seller : Another big criticism of Hayes is how Zen is sold. So there is a package that offers 3,450 zen for 27 euros. For the people, however, you need 3,500 zen and must either buy another package for 4.50 euros or directly the more expensive version for 45 euros.

You can watch the complete criticism here:

Zen can be purchased for In game currency, but for this first 500,000 euros have to be spent

What does it look like with the exchange of currencies? Hayes explains how the exchange of In game currency is working on ZEN:

You can exchange Astral Diamonds in Zen. However, there are over 65 million offers, which would like to buy Zen for Astral Diamonds. This means that first 65 million zen goes to other players before you are with the latest supply of the series. This is 2,742 times the most expensive Zen package in the game. In plain language: Other players would have to spend almost 500,000 euros, and want to convert all into diamonds before they are the latest exchange offering.

Since that is hardly happening in the next few weeks, you have to spend real money for the many bonuses.

At the end of the video, Hayes looks very down. It can tell him that he really likes Never winter, but with the latest decisions and especially with the development of the shop is dissatisfied. The PVP in Never winter should therefore be quite dead exactly.

Hayes ends his video with the rating: This review costs 3,500 zen / of 10.

What do you say about Never winter and the shop system? Did you have a similar experience or did not get a new winter on the screen so far? And which MMORPG has the worst shop system? Write it in the comments.

We have already viewed the shop from the upcoming game Lost Ark in the Beta. Again, there is a lot of criticism:

Is Lost Ark Pay2win? That's in the shop of Western version
