Game and weapon balance is a thing that is going to consistently be happening throughout the life of New World (or any game for that matter). As games and metas evolve things get adjusted. It is part of live game’s lifecycles.

This feedback is great and something that we can hand off to the team, for sure, please just understand that balance is something we will continually work on based on feedback and game data that we receive.

We understand being disappointed in changes to your favorite weapon, even to the point of not wanting to play any more.

What is not cool is attacking players for their feedback or what their preferences are. That is not conducive to a constructive and positive community experience.

This thread has run its course

Greetings Adventurers!

We are locking this tread down as we have just released our December Update. There will be a new megathread for issues shortly, so stay tuned!

Greetings Adventurers!

The downtime is now complete. Enjoy your time in the Convergence!

While this gave me a quick laugh, this has no constructive purpose in the community. I’m locking this down now.

Maintenance is now complete.

Thank you for your patience!

Greetings Adventurers!

We will be performing maintenance on EU Central tonight at 2021-11-28T05:00:00Z to re-enable the trading post for this region.

This maintenance will last for ~45 minutes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings Adventurers,

We will be holding downtime 2021-11-22T05:15:00Z (in your local timezone) in certain worlds in EU-Central to address the time skews that the worlds have been experiencing with a new fix.

Downtime is expected to be approximately 2 hours long (~120 minutes). We will be watching these worlds closely to ensure that the changes address the issue as expected.

Please see below for the list of worlds:

Greetings Adventurers,

Thank you for your feedback and questions since our second edition of Update on Current Issues Dev Blog. We continue collecting your feedback and questions to find trends of active issues you, our community, are interested in learning more about. We appreciate everyone’s interest into our communication and where we’re going with New World and we want to continue being transparent and communicative on how we plan to reach our goals and address outstanding issues.

Stability and Performance In-Game

We released an update today that we believe improved stability and are working feverishly on a fix for performance. The void gauntlet introduced a problem with status effects where they are using approximately 10x the bandwidth they should, resulting in performance issues when multiple status effects (not isolated to Void Gauntlet) are fired off. This impacts war, invasion, and any area groups of players are using weapons with status effects. W...

As with any live game, balancing is gong to be an ongoing thing for New World. Stuff is going to get changed or adjusted, we see how it is doing in the game, we read feedback and watch game telemetry, and if changes are needed again we make them.

The changes for Into the Void have been sweeping, for sure, but we’ve only been live for less than 12 hours. We are watching how everything is performing and tracking all of the feedback. Please help us by keeping the feedback constructive and concise.

Thanks everyone!

While kitchsy and fun, not the sort of topic we are going to let keep going.

Please help keep conversations focused on New World and constructive engagement with the community.

I have a handful of music videos to listen to while working now.
