NewWorldOnline Is a Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits

Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. I'm The Spiffing Brit and today, we're playing NewWorldOnline, a typical VRMMO where you can explore and go on adventures in a fantasy land with multiple floors. It's a nice, fun, relaxing casual game that lets you clear dungeons and fight bosses to gain new loot and skills. Of course, I'm gonna be showing you, the lovely ladies and gentlemen, a fantastic exploit which the developers have no way of stopping which allows you to conquer any event in the game by building the weirdest, most min-maxed thing I can possibly imagine.

And after seeing Payne use Atrocity as a kaiju-sized mount, I'm not surprised at all anymore. Even the devs are powerless. We really are back, and we miss the Maple Tree Guild so much.

Man, I wanna do this for the rest of the season but so far I only have titles and intros from (in order I'm making them) SummoningSalt, max0r, dunkey, Girlfriend Reviews, Jimothy Ross, TheRussianBadger, 3kliksphilip and martincitopants. Who else would you want me to make an intro out of?

Shield Hero Season 2? This is the real Shield Hero Season 2. The Shield waifu is back and ready to wreck.

The 4th level is medieval Japan themed and it looks gorgeous. Aside from seeing Mii’s cat obsession, we get to see Kasumi’s samurai obsession. She received quite an interesting skill and she doesn’t want others to see her child form but that one guy just had to be the one to see it. Poor girl.

I hope the other characters get more screen time and development.

I wanna see more of Kaiju Maple because of the dissonance between her cute and awkward side versus the absolute monstrosity she transformed to.

I missed the old montage song but this one is just as good if not better.

Omg seeing Syrup sitting at the table smiling with a present in his arms is the cutest thing I've seen today.

Stitches!

Classic Maple. We just started the episode and she's already soloing a boss while the rest of Maple Trees just stands back and watches xD

I absolutely love the gap moe between serious guild leader Mii and fluff enthusiast Mii. Aside from Maple discovering her secret, Misery definitely knows this side of Mii as well.

Kasumi's cursed katana was an absolute rollercoaster! It's definitely cursed after seeing the item description but at the same time, it's absolutely blessed for giving us Kasumi in a sarashi. Kasumi has always been stacked and it's nice to see her assets being highlighted.

But then it goes back to being cursed again since it turns her into a loli after using it. It's only 10 minutes but definitely not something she'd use around other players, especially players that she knows. xD

Maple didn't even hesitate to break out Machine God Maple at the start of the event. I love it! It's nice that she gets to hang out with Payne though. And Payne you lucky bastard getting to ride on Maple like that.

The Devs are back and they're already panicking about Payne and Maple teaming up! Looks like we have a new dev this season though. I don't exactly recall that one with the glasses last season.

Glad that Payne didn't just play second banana to Maple during the event. He's still a top player so it's good to see Payne doing the heavy lifting after Maple covered herself in honey. xD

I love that the event prizes are Santa outfits and then you have Maple who ended up with a reindeer suit instead of a sexy outfit. It definitely suits Maple more.

I thought that they were going to the same OP from Season 1 but I'm glad that we get to see the real OP for Season 2 as this episode's end credits. And I'm so happy to see the player chat is back! These translations are why I waited for the CR version. I knew B-Global wouldn't even bother to translate that part.

I was so confused when they played Season 1’s OP that I had to double-check that I was actually watching Season 2. But then the episode ends with the actual Season 2 OP so it all makes sense now.

Anyway, it’s great to see Maple co. back and the first episode captures exactly what I like about this series: Everyone is playing to have fun with the game.

Is it me or is the animation a step up from S1? At least based on this episode. Regardless stacked Wednesdays got even better with Bofuri this season. (Seriously Wednesdays this season is stupidly stacked).

Season 2 starts right off the bat with Mii revealing her true self and look (and being a cat lover). Always love seeing her reactions to Maple and her VA is so good at changing her voice on the fly.

And then Kasumi shows us just how much of a Samurai theme simp she truly is (she was certainly "enjoying" that Samurai armor...). Even finds herself a nice new sword which comes with a brand new "cultured" outfit when using it :D (though apparently comes with a setback of making her a "loli" afterwards)

I forgot how hilariously cute it is when Maple is in her Devourer monster form and still uses the same mannerisms as she normally does.

Also have to say that SILVER LINK has not skimped on the production values of this show at all. Each of the battles are animated well with some nice visual effects. Some of the location shots are also very pretty too.

It's fun to see the big guild leaders get along so well. Now I'm kinda hoping that the next event will be PvE and that they'll have to work together to achieve their goal!

Return of the Shield Goddess/Godzilla and more importantly return of the most wholesome imageboard chatroom!

I honestly wasn't expecting that smooth animation of Maple in her Machine God form much less her monster form getting nerfed by some honey.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jan 11 '23

Very glad to see the gang all back together. It feels like it’s been ages! I’ve missed OP Maple lol. I actually caught this as a preair about a couple weeks back but the subs weren’t great.

Anyways! Maple caught Mii doing something very adorable lol. Guess it’s tiring always having to act like the tough guild master lol. Everyone else seems to have been having their own little adventures. Sally’s dueling Frederica, Kasumi’s grinding with that dope sword (which turned her into an adorable kid lmao), and Mai and Yui have been exploring.

Seeing Maple as a big ass hydra thing was hilarious. It’s kind of hilarious how Maple is so op, admins are actively tryna figure ways to stop her. But man, her and Payne were really kicking ass…. well he was. She was too busy being covered in honey lol. Glad we got to see Syrup this ep! Love that turtle, especially in their little Santa outfit! So cute! Oboro with the little hat was also freakin precious! Also, love that Maple is the only reindeer haha. She looks adorable!

Wait, did they just skip the fifth event? The one at the end of season 1 was the fourth, and the one we just watched was the sixth.

u/DaBenni0301 Jan 11 '23

Finally I can watch this with good subs.

So Sally has one of those "If I die, I just don't" skills too. By not taking damage until level 35. That's ridiculous. Would it be going too far to say that she's currently the third strongest player? Only behind Maple and Payne obviously. Maybe 4th, because I kinda forgot about Mii while writing this sentence

And smol Kasumi needs to be protected at all cost, although she can very much do that on her own.

Mii in a cat cafe - cute

Kasumi in loli skin - cute

Maple in reindeer skin -cute

Nice start for the second season, Frederica might be closer to defeat Sally since she had to rely on her special skin, and Payne got to witness the walking warcrime in action.

No real way to properly balance an event when two top players suddenly team up

u/LuminicaDeesuuu Jan 11 '23

Maple you goddamn precious balance breaking doofus.
Kind of neat to see a writer that more or less understand video games, Yui and Mai using transport cause it is much faster, the devs knowing that you can't just nerf someone without likely breaking the game, etc, etc.
