New World Dev Tracker

Hi Karsaa,

To confirm what others have mentioned in here:

If an item has a chain damage perk (like Chain Fire) on it, the only elemental gem that you can socket is the gem that does the matching damage type. Other gems that do conditional effects, such as an Emerald or Diamond, should also work.

Hi everyone!

The odds of a gatherable dropping its rare resources are pretty low! Additionally, when you just start gathering as a new character, it’s not even possible for those to drop.

As you level the relevant gathering skill, you’ll cross particular thresholds that first enable and then begin to increase the likelihood of finding those rare resources.

To boost your chances further, you can craft armor with gathering-specific perks on it and eat food that enhances your gathering luck for a particular skill.

Soon, I’ll be taking a look at the drop rates for these lower-tier rare resources (e.g. Fae Iron, Petrified Wood), and if I see an irregularity that could be causing them to be more rare than we expect them to be, rest assured I’ll get a fix in that will make its way to you in a future release.

Thanks for playing New World with us! See you in Aeternum!

Hi RedFury43, you will be able to declare war when the invasion is over. You will not lose your influence and the territory will still be in conflict. We are going to see how we can improve legibility of that screen. It also looks like there is a bug where the invasion is not correctly reported in the tab but it looks like a UI issue. I will relay that information to the team, thanks for reporting it. Let me know if you have any issues with declaring war after the invasion is over.

To further clarify: This affects individual turn-ins and it isn’t based on the number of companies that are doing the turn-ins.

Essentially, the PvP Faction Missions grow in Influence Value over time. Their relative value between each other is the same (which is why we denote them with + vs. ++ vs. +++) but the actual value of the mission turn-in goes up over time.

Hi everyone!

The functionality you’re describing here is intended. The game behaves this way to ensure wars occur frequently, as well as to create regular opportunities for underdog Factions to battle a dominating power.

While it is important to run PvP missions as the Controlling Faction of a Territory, you can only stave off the inevitable for so long until eventually, you’ll have to test your mettle against an opposing army.

From a design perspective, we want wars to occur. They’re fun, they create social tension and excitement, and they give large groups of players the opportunity to work together towards a goal. It also evens the playing field on a fundamental level: regardless of how many total people are in a given Faction, a war is between two armies of 50.

Over time, it gets easier for Companies in the Factions that do not control a Territory to generate Influence and push that Territory into Conflict to enable a War Declaration.

Hi everyone!

For Fae Iron (and other rare resource drops), make sure you’re munching on Mining Luck Food. Crafting a basic set of Mining armor can be really helpful, too. Additionally, as your Mining Trade Skill increases, you’ll start to see them appear more often - but in the very early game the food and gear is essential.

See you in Aeternum!

Greetings Adventurers!

Our team is currently investigating an issue with Company creation.

Please hang tight while we figure out the situation and get it resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Wir haben weitere Welten mit Sprachempfehlung hinzugefügt:

We added a few new language tagged worlds in EU Central:

Wer Probleme hat, seine Drops im Spiel zu erhalten, kann gerne die Schritte aus diesem Beitrag ausprobieren: [Anleitung] Fehlende Twitch Drops beanspruchen

Danke fürs Melden! Wir haben das bereits an unser Lokalisierungsteam weitergegeben und die Bezeichnung sollte mit einem der nächsten Updates aktualisiert werden.

Nous avons ouvert 2 mondes de plus (FR)!

Thanks for the reports, this has been forwarded to the dev team.

Salutations, aventuriers !

Nous avons constaté beaucoup de frustration à propos de joueurs qui restent artificiellement actifs sur les serveurs pour éviter d’être éjectés automatiquement après un AFK prolongé dans New World. Nous sommes d’accord; ceci n’est pas un comportement acceptable, surtout quand autant de joueurs attendent patiemment d’entrer dans un monde. Nous avons développé une nouvelle solution pour nous aider à identifier et à agir contre les joueurs AFK de mauvaise foi.

Nous ne dévoilerons pas les détails du fonctionnement de cette contre-mesure, mais nous sommes convaincus que les joueurs qui jouent normalement à New World ne rencontreront aucun problème. Au départ, le fait d’être détecté se traduira par une exclusion rapide vers le menu principal. Si le comportement se poursuit, des sanctions plus sévères seront appliquées.

Cette initiative va être déployée progressivement, donc les résultats peuvent ne pas être immédiats. Mais c’est quelque chos...

Grüße Abenteurer!

Wir haben viel Frustration über Einzelpersonen gesehen, die auf Welten möglicherweise künstlich aktiv bleiben, um die automatische Verbindungstrennung, die es in New World gibt, wenn man eine Zeit lang AFK ist, zu umgehen. Wir sind uns sicherlich einig, dass dies kein akzeptables Verhalten ist - besonders wenn es viele Spieler:innen gibt, die geduldig darauf warten, in die Welt von Aeternum einzutauchen. Deswegen haben wir eine neue Lösung entwickelt, die uns hilft, diese Art von AFK-Spieler:innen zu identifizieren und gegen sie vorzugehen.

Wir werden keine Details zur Funktionsweise preisgeben, aber wir können euch versichern, dass wenn ihr New World normal spielt, ihr keine Probleme haben werdet. Wenn wir zum ersten Mal jemanden als AFK erkennen, wird die Verbindung zur Welt unterbrochen und man wir zurück ins Hauptmenu geführt. Sollte dieses Verhalten danach vermehrt auftreten, werden härtere Maßnahmen verhängt.

Beachtet bitte, dass die Impl...

Abaton is back online and available. Thank you for your patience and once again apologies for the additional maintenance time.

The maintenance is being extended by roughly 15mins.

Thank you for your patience.

Greetings Adventurers!

We have seen a lot of frustration around individuals who may be artificially remaining active enough in servers to avoid the automatic AFK mitigation that is built into New World. We certainly agree that this is not acceptable behavior, especially when there are droves of individuals who are waiting patiently to get into a world. We have created a new solution to help us identify and action against bad faith AFK players.

We will not disclose the details of how the solution works, but we will say that we have every confidence that players who are playing New World normally will not experience any issues. Initially, being caught by our detection solution will result in a quick kick to the main menu. If the behavior continues, more harsh penalties will be applied.

This effort is going to be rolled out over a period of time, so results may not appear immediate, but this is something we are dedicated to bringing online as quickly as we feel com...

Greetings Adventurers,

We are restarting the world Abaton in the EU Region at 8:00PM PT for maintenance. Downtime should last for about an hour.

We apologize for the short notice and thank you for your understanding.

Hi, thank you for reporting that issue. We are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience that bug has caused.
