PUBGM VERSION 1.0 takes 2 year 6 month and NewState Mobile !

[rapid gate]

New state Mobile version .60 takes 2 years 4 months though NSM has people shortage in development team. But I think NSM will reach its 1.0 version at the last of this 2024

[vestal sentinel]

Impossible
NSM won't reach 1.0 even in 2025 & 2026
Just check the numbers between patchnotes
It doesn't have chance even for 0.9.78 version because by that time the servers will shutdown.

[vestal sentinel]

At least work

[jagged berry]

0.9.30 to 0.9.48 (12 month)(at the start of game there were many 0.0.2 and some 0.0.3 update per month)

But now we are having mostly 0.0.1
0.9.49 to 0.9.59 (9~ 10month)
9.50
9.51 > 52>53 >54 >56>57>
0.9.59 (current)

So if it take 10 month to get plus 0.0.10

Wouldn't it take 40 month(3.3 years)
To be at version 1

(We wil not get big update on regular basis, they will probably be,once or twice per year

after the jeta (biggest update in nsm history 0.9.60)

It would still take around 2.5 year to 3 year

Version 1 at 2024 end is impossible

2025 end or 2026 should be the expected year

[unreal bough]

What's so special about this v1.0 update, I'm curious what it means for the game and what are your expectations

[vestal sentinel]

Just the number by itself is a huge responsibility, theoretically even bigger than Alpha but practically too far to see the light

I had a complete picture of 1.0 in my mind & even many scenarios for 1.0 but after latest dev letter everything became so obviously meaningless

I even searched for articles about 2025-27 games

[unreal bough]

Well it means something on a PC title maybe, but on mobile nope

I didn't see any past mobile games that did the v1.0 as their breaking milestone

NSM is now being just another mobile not gonna be any exception to that

[vestal sentinel]

Because they were typical mobile games but NSM still had chance to choose better direction, only a decline below 1\3 lobbies was a solid proof for making the final verdict

Making Extreme & other type of modified circles for bigger maps out of date

They waited for that critical point to release New Era

Even q1 & q2 2023 we had half full lobbies at least on two servers

[rapid gate]

It’s possible if they only drop .4 patch notes or .3 patch notes likes previous patch notes it will take 10 months if they really want to go for 1.0

[toxic zealot]

Wdym

[vestal sentinel]

It was only once
The current team is much smaller, with less investments & aspirations, less players & etc... you know what game you're playing
It's a miracle for this team to replicate their biggest update (which is still 0.9.30) every consecutive month

[toxic zealot]

It will shut down

[vestal sentinel]

How many months does it takes
Every version is titled \ numbered

[toxic zealot]

My question is

Will this game shut down

[vestal sentinel]

I won't shutdown until November 2024 but probably will next year, it also depends what is the plan for the upcoming PUBG IP games

[toxic zealot]

Why are they shutting down tho

[vestal sentinel]

They might extend development waiting the launch of upcoming project

Also usually they have to announce that 3-6 months before shutting down

[vestal sentinel]

Not officially
Just they have no chance to complete next year

It's already a bot game

They're not even trying

Except free chicken medals & even NC they have nothing to offer

They're begging for matches

[vestal sentinel]

Maybe If nsm developer just keep making worse update

[toxic zealot]

But this update is good right

[vestal sentinel]

Veteran player love classic br than new map

[vestal sentinel]

Not very

11 minutes just cook new map

[vestal sentinel]

Why are you asking? You should have your own opinion

[toxic zealot]

Let them cook

[vestal sentinel]

Explain ever single core part

Wzm at least a true cod on mobile

[vestal sentinel]

Even non-veterans won't care about new map
They'll play it only for rewards & faster tier points

Haha that true man

But Dev just force non veteran player play a new map

Any other map could do the same

YouTube now is mocking update nsm

[inner crescent]

dont know but they wont do it until PUBG Studios' next mobile fps out

[digital loom]

Krafton should have encouraged PUBGM players to switch to ns as an upgrade and invested in this from the start but they did the opposite

[toxic zealot]

Can't wait for tomorrow

[toxic zealot]

If this turns out good

Probably there will be more players

[digital loom]

Question is for how long if they go for farlight and arcade players they will lose br players which were there for pubg

[toxic zealot]

Make 2 types of br

It will be fun if you could drive the recall plane

[rapid gate]

1.0 for every game means better graphics, optimisation etc . In PUBGM 1.0 they shifted a better graphics and there’s is rumours that Troi graphics will be buffed just like PUBGM Erangel did in 1.0

[toxic zealot]

I miss the good old days

[unreal bough]

Tbh Erangel gone full on cartoonish after the 1.0 update

Before that it actually resembled the PC Erangel

[toxic zealot]

It's more realistic

[unreal bough]

As far as I know Pubgm didn't buff any of their visuals, they just improved the fps drop and revamped the entire UI after that 1.0 update

It was promoted as a big update for naming sake

While in reality UI revamp and Erangel revamp are the only things that observed

Nowadays they even downgraded the Erangel 2.0 visuals

You can notice there is a difference in visuals from it's beta to actual release

[rapid gate]

Yeah PUBGM foliage was improved and new PUBGM Erangel is so colourful , player can easily spot enemies meanwhile NSM and PUBG PC colour grading look similar in Erangel but foliage is bad

[jagged berry]

https://www.youtube.com/live/K7ziklvU0us

Universus Playing far light

Poor Foliage was the one of the 3 big reason why intial pubgm player left nsm

Can't blame

[toxic zealot]

What happened

People left

[vestal sentinel]

In alpha have better foliage everything have 3d but the downgrade to 2d is not worth it so far new state are really hard especially enemy hide on tree

Nsm bucther color palette on troi

So far nsm have
Foliage=they down to 2d
Graphic Too bright
Server issue
UI unoptimize
Graphic blurry

[vestal sentinel]

New Era already looks like a final source for updates
May be the amount of characters in SP till now (28) also indicates the longevity of the project
If it's four characters per season it means 14 months of development, then announcement about the final decision

Crazy even to imagine how many real players will be there by that time

TPP squad will be like lobbies in FPP

[unreal bough]

Instead of improving it, they made it even worse in Akinta, while on Lagna it's decent but it's not that great considering it's a desert map

[inner crescent]

there is one way to increase quality of foliage even in 2d texture state

in PC PUBG and Mobile, u can see shadow even trees r in 2d texture state unlike nsm

and especailly PC PUBG one reacts to light and degree using "Normal Mapping" and various precaptured 2d texture

[unreal bough]

2d Cardboards are distracting on NSM rather than blend in with the environment

Pubgm at least has 150m or something as draw distance which made it not so distracting while on Newstate it's at most 75m sometimes even less which makes the environment awful at a given instance

[jagged berry]

Even the grass and bushes in erangle are blurry
It so bad looking
It will be very difficult to see
Like i play on lite graphic
I was playing lagna a bot was in front of me like 50 meter
I was on a elevated hill i couldn't spot the bot for 3 sec
The bot blend into the surrounding so much cuz of blurry effect
So when i say Foliage i mean to say how everything is blurry even the player get blurred edge so
Difficult to see , hence pubgm player not liking the graphic and leaving

I would shift to hd graphics but there is no option to turn off shadow
So m sticking to lite

It just bad

[inner crescent]

well in nsm its better to use at least hdr option

[jagged berry]

Yeh that i can do
But pubgm player left cuz of That

[inner crescent]

actually in my opinion nsm devs should remove lite and force to use at least hdr

just like wzm

[narrow moon]

Stop judging the game that it will close as if you gods...do you see the future..if it closes no prob we will move on its just amere game...but yapping for us everyday doesnt make sense

[inner crescent]

Lite option makes nsm looks like cheap copy game lol

[jagged berry]

Actually they should just add separate option to then off all shadow

[inner crescent]

no

[jagged berry]

Nsm is a cheap copy game

[inner crescent]

actually shadow is one of the things that games look different

[jagged berry]

Br will die soon

[inner crescent]

look at wzm

[jagged berry]

Not everyone will buy ipad m1 for just nsm

Even if they remove lite

It will still be a sorry game

[inner crescent]

well hdr doesnt require too high performance considering we r in 2024

tho it was little bit heavy in 2021

[jagged berry]

I heard it still doesn't run on 40 fps or whatever

Smoothly

[inner crescent]

they advertised this game next gen graphics so they should fix some elements that makes this game look cheap

[inner crescent]

yeah its still unoptimized game

[jagged berry]

I mean you still sticking to their words?

Krafton words

[inner crescent]

well what i want to say is they should keep their words

[jagged berry]

How about starting form server then sounds then hacker then bug then maybe graphic

But it not happening

[inner crescent]

just fixing some ingame config nsm grpahics can get huge improvemmets

[jagged berry]

Yes

[inner crescent]

like this

[jagged berry]

They should, but they can't or will not is the problem

[inner crescent]

or like this

[jagged berry]

These are ur custom graphics picture m

[inner crescent]

yeah

its still available lol

when i took those screenshots two years ago, i thought devs would block this soon

[jagged berry]

So dev can improve graphic but aren't doing it

[inner crescent]

right

[jagged berry]

No point in expecting them to keep their words

[inner crescent]

or they should open new graphics option

its still locked

[jagged berry]

For now i think
The next 3 to 4 month they will only focus on new era

[unreal bough]

Buying a high end device for Newstate especially for the current graphics is not even worth it, it would have been worth it for Alpha test graphics

[jagged berry]

Br will be abandoned

[inner crescent]

if new era becomes famous

or new era would be abandoned just like bounty royale

[jagged berry]

Yeh lol
Even if someone can afford a ipad m1
Don't think he will buy it just for the current newstate (whose br map is actually dying)

[unreal bough]

If they just improve the foliage models and increase the draw distance it's more than enough, currently these are overshadowing the good aspects of its graphics

[jagged berry]

They will focus on it for 2 to 3 month
They went ahead to give free pass to the new player

So it would be fine to assume that new era will stay for 3 month (whether it becomes famous or not)

All new mode introduce by nsm were popular for 1 month only

But new era has character

they will gradually release them

So people will try it after each month

Sad to see this is how nsm trying to kill br

Just hoping that they fix old bug and don't bring new game breaking issues

[unreal bough]

The survival of this mode depends on

1. Whether farlight drawback their decision of removing jetpacks
2. Pubgm catching up to this trend
3. Game's buggyness it's now part of it's DNA

[vestal sentinel]

Nsm just copy ideas even how boy wyn just cook a Jetpack

[vestal sentinel]

Never mind Dev letter just useless

Remember how they say "pubg pc maps" its not true for now

Br is not die because some pesky bug not been fixes since release also graphic too

Community are general just suffer how nsm now

Boy wyn just cook update not support what community want

True pubg experience biggest lie

[inner crescent]

yeah i totally agree with this

krafton was little greedy

they wanted the second cash grab just like pubgm

if they didnt care bout it, devs would push 1st alpha style to launch

[unreal bough]

Yep exactly

[vestal sentinel]

2nd cash grab & now giving permanent NC's for free, that's ironic
Not any other game would do that
And it's their only approach for attracting players

I showed the patchnote to some ex-players & requested to install the game again at least for rewards

They said that they're fed up with rewards & skins are not worth grinding when it's a struggling game without any certain direction

They got surprised by 2 thumbs trademark considering that it took 2-4 weeks for them to get used to 4 fingers

Those who are playing 2 thumbs would remain 2 thumbs players because it's identity, they are not here for progression & it's the easiest audience to reach who would be happy just to have some crappy skins or play just a few seasons or even weeks before leaving

[limpid mango]

And it's been like this since forever they should fix it

[limpid mango]

Exactly bro it's soo damn difficult to spot an enemy 😭and devs don't care about it for 2 years

[rocky gate]

Did they call the new update as V1.0 ? I don't think so

need more update and few optimization to make it as official 1.0 , We're just starting

[limpid mango]

U nailed it they should stop focusing on adding new content instead they should fixxxx their gameeeeee

[limpid mango]

🥺 it's been 2 years

[digital loom]

Well they are promoting it as 1.0 because if things went normal NEW ERA. Should have given to 1.0 but to hype the game they just put that tag on this update

[digital loom]

We all know how it will go , play stupid game win stupid prizes

[jagged berry]

New era 1.0
Like bounty 1.0 and bounty 2.0
If talking about the game version itself to be version 1 , it's Going to take 2 to 3 years

[digital loom]

PUBGM buffed and refined it's legacy map on 1.0 ( New ERA) While NS just changed their default map and forgot about their legacy map it completely opposite

[rocky gate]

I see, it's just the patch notes says 0.9 something

[digital loom]

They just rushed things because these are some last efforts to revive the game according to devs I think

And they don't have enough time to get to 1.0 so they just gave that honor to 0.9

[rocky gate]

well , they should be different than PUBG

and I approved of the attempts

the way I see it for 2 years

New State Mobile is even unable to hold competitions

properly

[digital loom]

Being different is not bad but they don't know what they wants to be FIRST they tried to be original pubg but after that they went PUBGM direction now they are trying to be farlight , they doesn't even know what is different

[rocky gate]

getting the audience of Apex legend mobile and farlight 84 is not too bad

PUBG (Classic) vs NSM (FAST PHASED)

[digital loom]

I agree but the game is trying to go on an area for which it was not designed for in the end they will lose both veteran players and those Apex and farlight players

[rocky gate]

at this point, if some dont like "Fast Phased"
They can always go back to PUBG M

that's the mindset i think

[digital loom]

Nope I don't like bgmi I don't know it's just me or not but it graphics and sound gives me a headache after 2 or 3 matches I don't know why and I hate it's mechanics that's why I downloaded pubg pc will try to play it

[jagged berry]

Umm you got it all wrong

Nsm player can't go to pubgm
Cuz pubgm is too fast. Ok

Far light player has this idea that pubgm is slow

But those who play nsm for 2 year say
Pubgm is too fast

Hence the joke about pubgm movement "as monki movement"

P. S i play both

[vestal sentinel]

Also they don't understand why New Era is promoted as BR
Like a couple of seasons back we played Station with blue zones
It's an immersive shooter

Immersion shooter arcade

For arcades we have a separate space, Ka-Boom & Human vs AI are still there

[digital loom]

Someone play human vs ai ??? We have br for that role

[vestal sentinel]

We have Wynnsanity for making trailers

[vestal sentinel]

Those guys just cook update bro

Wyn just promote nsm but people not stupid

[vestal sentinel]

Have heard that this month lobbies are even more dull than two months back
May be that's why they extended the New Era -24 to BR-40 because no-bot 24 players wouldn't be stable, the decline went below quarter lobby even on Akinta Squad EU & EA

Probably there will be the advantage of rewards & testing but after that... like it's said "up to 40 players" which already takes it away from no-bots-ranked

[vestal sentinel]

Dumb

[digital loom]

He can make the enemy ears bleed with his yapping

[vestal sentinel]

Rapping man

[digital loom]

well at least lobby lag is fixed

[jolly flame]

Server connection error after every match is still there but finally I can say an good update 🙂

[lusty scarab]

Version control is in Their hand.
If they think that any Huge changes happened which will change the meta completely, they will increase the number in 1.0.0

[lusty scarab]

Verson control isn’t like that. Please see a Video about version control

[vestal sentinel]

That doesn't change the fact that development is slow & from the customer's perspective the example of PUBGM has a linear progression of titles

Of course for 0.9.30 those changes were big

[lusty scarab]

X.y.z
That's a version control system new state use.

When they fix any little little bugs and push a minor optional update, 'z' increase 1 by 1.

When they add new things, features and big updates, they increase 'Y' one by one.

When they have to do major things like doing a big changes in a single update, and game become different from previous version, for example chaning lobby, customization, settings, controll system, graphic etc. And if it make totally different experience to play, devs increase 'x' one by one.

Thus YOU get 1.0.0 / 2.0.0 / 3.0.0 etc.

[vestal quail]

Lobby delay comeback with today update 🙂
