New World Dev Tracker

Greetings Adventurers,

We will be holding downtime tonight to re-enable all forms of wealth transfers including player to player trading and the trading post across all regions. Due to the importance of wealth transfers and their impact on the experience in-game, we wanted to prioritize re-enabling these mechanics as soon as possible.

In our notice addressing disabling wealth transfers, we mentioned a make-good to ensure that there was no lasting imp...

We are actively looking at options here. Our focus is on fixing the issue to enable us to turn coin transfers back on. Part of our make good review is to look at the impact this has had on people who owned houses and determine how to proceed. Our goal is to have players not financially impacted by turning coin transfers off.

At this moment a rollback or wipe is not being considered.

Soon ← as is tradition

it’s an and, not an or.

whether the downtimes happen today, tomorrow, the next day, etc. is TBD because we are pushing for testing at the moment. Community will update everyone once we have our maintenance timing ready to go.

Hi Everyone,

We are still working on fixes for the exploits addressed in this notice.

First I’d like to explain why we shut things down. We became aware that a small number of players were using packet manipulation approaches to create invalid transactions. We do use a code approach known as two phase commit, and we also use packet shaping systems for debugging, but there was an edge case with very high packet loss we had not encountered that resulted in duplicated items/currency. Server telemetry provided data that identified this pattern and the people using it; those people were banned, as will often be the case for people who exploit to their advantage. With the transfer of coin disabled, it’s possible to generate an error in a town project improvement and get money returned that you didn’t spend - this gold will be removed during the upcoming maintenance before transfer is turned back on.

I hear you are frustrated and want to make sure that no one suffers i...

Hello Adventurers and Conquerors,

Today I wanted to provide an update on the health, status and vision of PvP, War, and the territory control meta game.

Before we dive in I want to apologize for all the issues we’ve seen in War so far, and thank you for your patience as we work to resolve them. I know there have been some serious lag issues in War and a number of exploits (including the invulnerability exploits) that have marred your experience. We’ve made an initial set of changes to address some of the issues, and are working on some higher impact changes that need more testing. It is a top priority for the team to get war to a stable, performant state where the skill and coordination of the best team determines the outcome.

Let’s start by reiterating our high level vision. We want to create a game where PvE and PvP not only co-exist but support each other. We also want “wars not ganks”— meaning we want to support meaningful PvP in War and the open world ...

I reached out about this and it appears to be an intended design.

Hey everyone!

We appreciate your patience while we work through these issues. Our team is currently zeroing in on a fix for the exploits that necessitated the turning off of all wealth transfer in New World. We are planning to deploy the change as soon as we complete our testing.

Please stay tuned for additional information when we have it!

Yes I have

Hey! I know the dev team has been looking into this but more information never hurts. Feel free to dm me the video as well as any other information you think is pertinent.

Hey! I received some other reports of this and have sent this to the team for investigation/reproduction. I appreciate you surfacing this to me (and because people will ask, I have no other information to share on this right now since I surfaced this not too long ago )
