[2021] Dec update response

I understand that emotions can run high, but please express your feedback and concerns in a constructive way.

It is totally fair to not agree with design decisions a video game team is making, but please avoid creating hostile conspiracy theories to explain those decisions.
For example accusing us of hating our players in the original thread title.

I do understand that some folks are frustrated and want to communicate that frustration.

The team is making the decisions they feel are best for the game and our players.

Our goal is always to do what is best for our players and New World. We do listen and care about feedback, we gather feedback from a wide variety of places, and data from how the game is played. Sometimes the implementation of that feedback can take time or is introduced in steps but feedback is a critical guiding force for the team.

Again, I understand that the delay between feedback provided and feedback implemented is frustrating. The team does hear the feedback we receive and it is important to us.

We will collect all the feedback we receive from the response to patchnotes, from the gameplay experiences on the PTR and following all changes to the live game and share them with the team to help guide future decisions.
I understand, really, that folks feel unheard and that these changes don’t reflect the feedback some of you have been providing.
