New World devs have released another video highlighting the January update and talking about the state of the MMO thus far.
Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG announced tonight during Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards that the upcoming MMOARPG Lost Ark will finally hit Western shores on February 11th, 2022.
Amidst all the issues that the New World team has faced since launching in September, according to a new interview it looks like the team at Amazon is moving forward with also trying to get more content into players hands. This could also mean in the form of a winter-themed seasonal event here soon.
For those who have wanted to eschew the current compass in New World for the more standard mini-map found in most MMOs, New World's Scot Lane has confirmed the game will allow for third party options to do just that. The game director also explained the reasoning behind the compass currently in-game and why it seems a third-party could produce a mini-map when the developers would need to take longer to do so.
New World is launching a Public Test Realm, or PTR, and starting tomorrow players can check out some of the first changes, including the addition of a new weapon, the Void Gauntlet.
New World's latest blog post is a long one, but it tackles many different points of issue with the MMO from Amazon. Specifically, the team at New World talk about exploits, the current state of the economy and much more in this community update.
To say New World has had some struggles since launching a month ago is an understatement. One of the areas where these issues are keenly felt, though, is in the MMO's PvP, especially its player wars. The developers took to the dev blog this afternoon to talk about some of the changes coming to PvP and Wars in Aeternum.
In an update to the ongoing issues that caused Amazon to shut down wealth transfers in New World, developer Scot Lane provided an update on the progress of the fix that has seen the economy come to a stand still in the new MMO.
Well. It looks like New World is facing another gold dupe bug which has caused developer Amazon Game Studios to disable all forms of wealth transfers.
New World's hits keep coming. As Amazon works furiously to fix bugs that get introduced with each successive patch, new issues are being uncovered by players everyday. The latest is an exploit that is based around the chat box, one that could see a giant sausage grace your screen - or worse.
New World's cooking aims to give the player realistic recipes to follow when making that next melon tart or shooter sandwich, but with so many ingredients dependent on luck to find, it makes Bradford wish for his days farming in The Lord of the Rings Online.
Bradford is almost done with New World, hitting the late mid, early end-game content over the weekend. And while there is still a lot to do, one aspect of New World's design has solidified in his mind: its PvE questing experience sure is boring.
If you're one of the many thousands of players waiting to transfer to a server where your friends are playing New World, you'll be waiting a little longer. Amazon announced late Friday that the decision to delay the service has been made in order to not disrupt its "peak play period."
Hardcore PvP games fail. This is a refrain we see time and time again. And by and large, it has some truth to it. New World is far from hardcore PvP, but it's focus on its player warfare is sustained mainly thanks to its incredibly cooperative community. But can that last?
New World is the latest MMO seemingly everyone's playing. I'm loving my time in the game, and am enjoying the more chill vibe of the MMO. And I think official gamepad support would only make that experience even better.
