Greetings Adventurers,

We’ve scoured the Forums, Reddit, and our social channels to find out what you want fixed, and with this PTR release, a significant number of pesky bugs were squished! But our job is not done, and we know there are more annoying bugs out there that impact your enjoyment of New World. Accordingly, we’d like to hear from you on what outstanding bugs we haven’t yet fixed with this game update that you’d like to see resolved sooner rather than later!

While we can’t promise that any specific bug called out here can or will be resolved promptly (some issues require deeper investigation or more complicated technology reworks), we will do our best tackle those that the community rallies behind as soon as possible with a sense of vigor.

So check out the full PTR Release Notes, jump in-game and give our fixes a spin, and then let us know what you think!

Greetings Adventurers,

We are creating a thread to track feedback from the February PTR.

You can find resources on how to leave good feedback in the How to Give High Quality Feedback post.

You can find our February PTR Bugfix Wish List here.

As a reminder, we are solel...

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve passed it to the team to investigate!

Unfortunately, we don’t have any ability to action on Discord servers since those are outside of our control. If you come across any Discord servers that violate our Terms of Use or Discord’s, I’d recommend reporting it to Discord’s T&S team here: https://dis.gd/report

For things that happen in-game, yes, that’s definitely something that our Game Moderation team should handle/look at. Reporting them in-game is your best course of action so that the team can gather whatever information they need to determine the best course of action. Secondarily, there is a way to report them off-game which includes a field for you to submit links to screenshots/videos. Any information you can send them to help substantiate your report will be really helpful to the team.

I’ll also send this over to our GM team to keep an ey...

I’ve gone ahead and bumped this one again to the team but I don’t have any updates for you on this at the moment.

You can keep updated on all of our official communication here: New world development team - New World Forums!

I posted something an hour ago here and updated ...

I just replied to another thread here but going to post it here too:

Hey all! The team is aware that the Mutations didn’t change on servers and are working to resolve this issue. Currently, we anticipate a fix in upcoming weekly update and it should refresh mutations from that point on.
Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for your patience!

Yup! I’ve passed this along.

The team is aware of this and it’s listed in our Known Issue page. I know the team is investigating the cause of the issue.

Mobs and bosses cannot crit players.

Interesting suggestion! I’ll definitely send it over to the team for further consideration.

We have definitely heard you on this and we have members of the team monitoring the status of Eden; as a whole the team is working on a fix to mitigate these issues from happening in the future and hope to release it once it has been tested and verified.

Understood, thank you for this! I know the team’s looking through additional telemetry that can help them dig deeper into the issue and I will forward this along to them as well.

Hey Spellshockn,

Thanks for reaching out and Pichu’s correct. Unfortunately only the Support team has the ability to assist with character/account-specific issues like those, especially when they need to collect information that is not meant for public eyes.

In the specific case you linked, I’m unsure if the Support team will be able to assist them (since we are not providing additional world transfer tokens) but they should reach out to our Support team through their website for something like this.

Hello adventurers!

Our Game Moderation team are constantly working to help address the prevalence of bots and gold sellers here in New World.

New World has a variety of security controls in place in order to deter and prevent the spread of bots and gold farmers. Nevertheless, we wish to improve on these controls and combat the bot trend. It is well known that bots and gold farmers often run the game in virtual machines. As such, we have enabled a new feature for New World within the latest Easy Anti-Cheat module.

Moving forward, New World will no longer launch in Virtual Machines that are known to be used by bots and gold farmers. This virtual machine detection feature will not issue bans for players trying to run the game in a virtual machine. However, the game will not work on these machines.

This feature will not prevent the game from running on GeForce Now.

Thank you for your understanding and see you in Aeternum!

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve forwarded the information I have about this to the team but any additional information would be really helpful. I have noticed less reports about movement bugs so they may have addressed some possible causes.
