Greetings Adventurers,

Every large content update for New World presents us with an opportunity to introduce new combat changes. With this PTR release, we’re rolling out a series of new balance and quality-of-life improvements that should make your time in Aeternum a little more exciting and worthwhile.

Combat Tuning

Due to the scope of changes across the board for weapons and their associated perks, it is advised to read all of the Combat changes listed in full within our release notes.

Please let us know how you enjoyed these changes on the PTR! In particular, due to the complex nature of these adjustments and new systems, we’re especially keen on feedback relating to overall sense of balance and fairness, level of work/reward, and any potential technical issues such as gameplay bugs, exploits, or client stability/performance problems.

Thank you for your insight and valuable input during our early build preview phase!


If you are experiencing a bug, please utilize the following template:

  • What is your character name in the PTR:
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on:
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:
  • Is this a bug or an exploit:
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:

You can find resources on how to leave good feedback in the How to Give High Quality Feedback post.

Your help in keeping feedback unrelated to the issue above regarding the Player vs Player Reward Track out of this focus thread is much appreciated!

Thank you for helping make New World the best game it can be!

See you in Aeternum!

Thanks for calling this out. I’ve updated the patch notes to reflect that:

  • Removed innate creature resistances. Creatures will now only have damage type resistances if they have an Affix or they are in a Mutated dungeon.
