[2022] [Downtime] New World Update 1.6.1

Greetings Adventurers,

We will be holding downtime 2022-08-04T06:00:00Z in your local timezone for the Weekly Update. Downtime is slated to last approximately 1.5 hours (~90 minutes).

In addition to the downtime notification above, I am sorry to announce that additional testing has uncovered an issue with the Barnacles and Black Powder expedition. The team is working hard to address the issue but this means we will be delayed in activating the feature. We apologise for this inconvenience, especially on the heels of delaying Group Finder, as we endeavor to release the highest quality of experience to you all.

This is our Expedition team’s highest priority, and we will provide an update once we are confident in releasing the newest expedition. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Azoth will be re-enabled during the patch at 2022-08-04T06:00:00Z. We have also fixed an issue to prevent players from salvaging additional Azoth vials when at the cap. If not at cap, it will let you only salvage enough to put you at cap, but not over salvage, preventing any waste.

In addition, we are currently refunding Azoth vials for those who salvaged a stack of 20+. I will update when this process is complete.

The Azoth vial replacement effort is now complete. Thanks for your patience!
