For the skins you’re asking about, the Season Pass includes 5 Seasonal Armor Skin pieces, 1 Seasonal Armor Set (5 pieces), 9 Seasonal Weapon Skins, 6 Seasonal Tool Skins, 1 Seasonal Emote, and 1 Tent skin.

A number of these are contained within containers that include other items as well. Are the skins not well-surfaced on the pass? Or are you wanting more on top of that. Thanks for the feedback!

I’m saying that specific point of feedback isn’t something that will be addressed in Season 1, but other changes have and will continue to be made. Not all of that is on the PTR yet, but we’re continuing to collect data and feedback from you all. Additionally, feedback from you all has long term value. There is feedback on the forums and in this thread that can help inform our long term plan for features, and making sure you have a focused place to provide that feedback is helpful for us so that we can build the best game possible.

There’s a lot of great feedback and discussion all over the forums. These focus threads give us a lot of valuable, focused discussion on topics but we don’t want to shy away from engaging in other discussions where we can glean useful information from you all!

And thanks for the activity card feedback, that dilemma you mentioned of not having a stamp available for a completed activity is one that we want to feel more rewarding long-term. While we won’t have any changes for that launching with Season 1, it’s something we’ve discussed internally and would like to improve in a future season.

What’s making you feel like you have to do PvP in order to progress the Season Journey? The goal with the Journey is that it offers a path forward for both types of players. As a PvE only player you’ll never be forced to do the PvP Content to progress to the next chapter, however there may be some PvP tasks that would be straightforward for you to complete.

Thanks for the continued feedback! Those three examples you listed are all activities that live on the Activity Card right now, and completing one of those activities will give you a substantial Season XP bump (~250 for one activity, more if you’re completing a row or a card.) The intent here is that the activity card is the vehicle for that casual, passive experience gain as you play. You’ll complete an activity, be notified, and be able to claim that XP. Ultimately you’re getting substantially more season XP for completing those activities than you would if it was just passively giving you XP (...

In episode 17 of Forged in Aeternum host Rachel Barnum (Game Designer) is joined by Kiana Hamm (Concept Artist) and Sojin Hwang (Associate Art Director) to talk about the awesome female characters in New World.

You’ll learn what a concept artist does, how it impacts character development, and the creative problem-solving that comes with technical or narrative constraints. The team also gives a deep behind-the-scenes look at the making of the first female boss, the Siren Queen.

Hey BrinZalazar,

Thanks for the thoughtful writeup of your feedback! I wanted to follow up on one specific point you made, that you want to progress your season pass with everything you do. How do you feel that the activity card plays into this? The activities on that card are intended to be more open ended things you’ll naturally do in a play session, and you can get good chunks of Season XP for tackling those. How’s that feeling right now?

Past the activities card we do also reward passive season XP for the following activities;

  • Crafting a Gypsum Cast
  • Expedition Boss kills
  • Outpost Rush wins
  • PvP Arena Wins
  • War
  • Invasions
  • PvP Kills
  • Major Corruption Breaches
  • Quests
  • Faction Missions
  • Aptitude Levels

I see you’ve suggested some other sources and we’ll keep those in mind, but in the meantime how does that current list stack up?

Can confirm that the reported PTR housing related issues have been passed on to the team. :+1:
Sorry to hear that these issues are greatly impacting your ability to participate in the PTR, that’s not what we’re aiming for.

Hello! I do want to level set expectations, there’s only 250 of each attribute mod in this backstory. Will work to significantly increase that number for easier gear rolling in the future, it should’ve been higher to begin with but hopefully this is an overall improvement to your testing experience.
