New World Dev Tracker

Just to clarify, we aren’t resetting your HWM progress but I’ll pass this feedback along.

For those having trouble creating a character on the PTR, please try now! Tagging people who said they weren’t able to to make sure they see this notification.

@NightWolff @Nysios @Gameaholick_X @Patched1 ...

Hey folks, been following this thread for a while, and we are listening! On PTR now, we’ve added a soloable option to “Destiny Unearthed” that will allow you to acquire your Heartgem by other methods. Hope this helps those of you who’ve expressed frustration here. Note that you’ll still receive an orb for the Amrine Expediton that you can use at a later date if you’d like.

We’d welcome your feedback on these changes - more to come!

@AbuLincolnChan Sorry if there’s some confusion floating around out there somewhere. I suspect it originates from some data-mining, perhaps pulled from an older build. The quests “In Soul, In Stone” and “Finally, Exhale” do exist, but they’re currently locked because they require players to venture into an Expedition that’s not yet been released. Yseult should offer the side story quest “The Illurmin Rift” as long as you’ve reached level 58 and completed the quest “Pushing Back” offered by Warden Reese, but that is independent of the Main Story Quests.

@Kelticfury @Rhyz We have a bug reporting thread for that here: [Megathread] December PTR Bug Reporting

Hi @poz!

I hope you are doing great!

I understand your concern with the “Expertise score” As of right now I can only confirm what the Dev Blog stated, so this:

In the December update, Expertise will govern the highest drops you can get per slot, much like HWM did. But starting in early 2022, it will also govern the effectiveness of your gear. This means if your War Hammer Expertise is 520, and you equip a 550 Gear Score War Hammer, the weapon’s effective Gear Score will be reduced to 520.

Basically the HWM as we know will be revamped and called E...

We’ve seen this question pop up a lot since the post and to clarify, your HWM progression will not be reset and any HWM you had earned will be converted to Expertise. Thanks for your feedback so far!

Sorry for any confusion. I have let the support team know that what was communicated in the support conversation above is incorrect.

Progression will not be reset. Any High Watermark you had earned will be converted to Expertise.

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.

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.
