[2022] PTR: Welcome and Thank you! - March 2022 PTR

Greetings Adventurers,

Thank you for participating in the Public Test Realm (PTR) and helping us knock out bugs and test content before they go live. We appreciate all of your help!

For more in-depth information on our March PTR, please read our article here: Heart of Madness March PTR Announcement - News | New World

The Public Test Realm will be opened 2022-03-03T18:00:00Z(in your local timezone), with the client becoming available for download beforehand.

At this time, we are specifically looking to collect feedback on the following:

• Tempest’s Heart - the Myrkgard Expedition
• Main Story Questline Finale
• Blunderbuss Weapon-Type
• Blunderbuss Legendary Weapon Questline
• Inventory While Moving & New In-Combat System

Only US East is supported in this PTR at this time. To access the PTR, you may need to change your region selection on the PTR Character Selection Menu.

We are also providing three backstories for you to test:

• A fresh level 2 character
• A level 60 character (Syndicate aligned*), Gearscore 585, set up for progression up to the Main Story Questline Finale and the Tempest Expedition
• A level 60 character (Syndicate aligned*), Gearscore 585, set up for Blunderbuss Weapon Legendary Questline

*You will be able to change your faction in your Bio page immediately after entering the game.

Please see the screenshot below:

If you participated in the February PTR, you may use the character you created for that test; however, to receive any new grants, you will need to create a new character and use one of the new backstories provided.

Thank you again for your help and we’ll see you in Aeternum!
