Greetings Adventurers,

Ever wondered how our team makes the amazing sounds you hear in Aeternum? Check out our newest video, featuring the Audio team working on the sounds in Brimstone Sands!

We have a dedicated thread on the forums to collect player feedback, not just data

Thanks for the input! We actually plan to put up a focus feedback for shell company changes for the PTR once it’s live but I’ll make sure the team sees this as well.

Super appreciate the thoughtful explanation and the constructive feedback. Thank you for taking the time to think about it.

I can completely understand your frustration. The team looks at a lot of different things to make changes, including player feedback and in-game telemetry. The good thing is that changes in combat are fluid and they’re always looking to make adjustments, especially with the introduction of new abilities (like the heartgem) and weapons.

Yes, being in a faction is no longer mandatory! Unfortunately, I don’t believe that there’s a way to switch to factionless if you’re already in a faction but we’ve provided the feedback to the team that there will be some players who are interested in that feature.

Can you put this in bug-reporting and include a video so the team can investigate? Thanks!

From my understanding, those release notes are here:

Mutations: Top end difficulty scaling was tuned.
Note: this change affects difficulties 7-10

• Damage increased balancing for wards
• AI Health increased balancing for new Perks and Trophies

Greetings Adventurers,

Introducing our October Developer Update!

We invited some special guests to ask the New World team some questions.

Check it out and see you in Aeternum!

https://www.newworld.com/en-us/news/articles/new-world-october-2022-team-update

Yes! They should be on your map.

We realize that this puts new, low-level quest pins back on your map and that some players would prefer not to see these map pins. We are discussing map options and/or ways of highlighting quests that are significantly below your level. We’ll let you know when we have a plan to address this.

Understood - it seems like this is actually a bug. Taunt is intended to be on that gem.

Just to confirm, can you tell me what weapon and abilities you’re utilizing?

I’ve confirmed that this is a bug and the team is aware and working on it! No ETA at this time.

Thank you for letting us know! I’ve forwarded this over to our team for investigation.

It should increase threat generation but I saw a few threads that stated that it wasn’t working properly. I’ve forwarded this to the team.

Thanks! I saw some other reports of this as well. The team is aware and working on a fix!

Do you mind sending me a screenshot of the tooltip that pops up when you mouse over the weapon and one for the runeglass carnelian gem?

Thank you!

Yes, The Wild Huntress is the last main story questline currently available but there’s a bunch of additional story in Brimstone Sands!
