We’ll see you in Aeternum.The Savage DivideSep 25, 2023 - Community Announcementshttps://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/3ISuBHgufuMnV2f8Pphioh/806db82b1014f2935bd05c0b3661f83c/NW_Mahantaram_NPC_ROTAE_Announce_1920x1080_Final_CT-002143.jpg Greetings, Adventurers! The powers of Artemis flourish within these caverns of stone and ancient root. Embark on a dangerous new Level 62+ Expedition to track down the primordial Beast Lords before pandemonium emerges from the depths of Aeternum. The elemental chaos of the Savage Divide awaits. This Expedition will release alongside Rise of the Angry Earth on October 3 and require the expansion to enter. Mahantaram, the Mammoth Lord, has retreated into madness in the Savage Divide. A sinister mist and unsettling spores pour forth from the mouth of the cavern. As the days go on the howls of the beasts within grow louder and more deranged. The enraged Beast Lords pose a terrible threat to the population of Aeternum if not contained. Join the Design Team for an in-depth discussion on everything you need to know about the Expedition in the video below. LORE Beneath the mountain of Vigrid, the tribes of the Beast Lords have dug tirelessly to create their new kingdom. Supported by the terraforming magic of Artemis and the Ennead, it took little time for the massive caverns to be carved out from the mountain. Deep within massive chambers expanded forth, interconnected by Ancient channels and ruins of the previously submerged Saircor ruins. Lush alien flora flood into it's depths, brightly illuminating the chambers within their new home. When the Mammoth Lord first fled back into the depths of the Savage Divide it seemed hope was on the horizon. The Gorilla Lord followed his friend into the maw of the cavern, hoping to quell his rage, deep into the depths of the false promise that would be their demise. Neither has yet to return. Both alpha tribe members have begun to feel the Beast Lord souls manifest within them. Terrible omens for the lost Lords and Aeternum. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/3JCCwPnjGqervkimYRndz7/f81a4a3bdc5105ed738f12b51cd478d6/Mammoth_cave_1920x1080__1_.jpg Mahantaram’s otherworldly nature reacted violently with the supernatural power of Aeternum. Such planar instability would have alarmed Artemis in a former life, but her Ancient knowledge and hatred of humankind inspired her to make use of this anomaly. Energy drains from the mammoth Beast Lord into bursts of destructive elemental magic. Artemis has confined this force of destruction to the Expedition. For now... DESIGN We caught up with Level Designer Darren McKinsey for even more insight into the creation of the Savage Divide. The Savage Divide was designed to evoke the primal nature of the Beast Lords. It’s incredibly lush with a ton of harvestable objects and multiple corners to explore. This organic feel is one of the key distinctions from prior Expeditions. Beyond aesthetic differences, the Design Team strove to set the Mammoth Lord’s lair apart through non-linear gameplay. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d...Rise of the Angry Earth: New and Returning Player GuideSep 20, 2023 - Community Announcementshttps://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/3zdRBWOdILuQCkwTm01OKz/01705c76ac012b0f75eacbe93bdb1834/NW_New_Returning_PlayerGuideHeader_1920x1080_Final_CT-002600.jpg Greetings, Adventurers! Now is the perfect time to play New World, especially if you’re new to the game. Aeternum continues to evolve through new features like mounts, progression changes, and improved open world PvP. Each change was a result of player feedback. Returning players might not recognize these revamped shores or systems, but the fresh experience makes New World even more enjoyable. We partnered with a variety of New World content creators to help new and returning players ease into Rise of the Angry Earth. Whether you’re curious about additional weapons, modes, storylines, areas, or features, here’s everything you need to know for your next trip to the Eternal Isle. NEW PLAYER TIPS https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/2voiDzWBlgCOZ7J0DeRyer/4f415fce75faacffefc82c54be41089f/NW_Beetle_PVE_ROTAE_Announce_1920x1080_Final_CT-002143.jpg “New World had a rough start with a lot of bugs,” ArsheeTV said. “Some remain, but the heart of the game is still really fun. There's a lot to do now and the combat system is second to none. New players today can experience New World how it was supposed to be at launch.” REVAMPED MAIN STORYLINE “My favorite part about the Revamped Starting Experience and main storyline has to be the story, quest, and cinematic changes,” ArsheeTV said. “At first there was a need to rush to endgame ahead of everyone else. Now you can enjoy even better progression at your own pace.” Almost every zone was overhauled based on player feedback. The few remaining original zones will be revamped in future releases. Here’s what to expect: Start the adventure with friends: Players spawn in one of several zones at the beginning of the game. Head to a friend’s location to play early quests together. Multiple ways for solo and group players to progress: There are different objectives for certain quests that give you the option to remain solo or join a group of players depending on your preferred experience. Diverse objectives to keep gameplay fresh: Objectives range from puzzle and traversal challenges to unique interactions with the world and dynamic events. There’s always something new to find. An epic adventure surrounding the mysteries of Aeternum: Conquer new enemies, obstacles, and locations to reveal the truth about the Eternal Isle. “I recently finished the revamped level 1-40 main story experience and it is so much better than when the game released,” LiamH said. PROGRESSION https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/7jMUejr7RMIcAg2GTMpGRm/bd272d46d3e3c6a90bc4769cf3dc45ce/NW_WinterVillage_D_Winterconvergence22_1920x1080_Final_CT-001151.jpg “Whether you play solo or with friends, reaching level 60 has never been quicker,” ArsheeTV said. “You’ll get to level 60 in less than a week from just the main storyline quests.

New World Update 2.0.5 downtime will begin at 11:00PM PT (6:00AM UTC) on September 12 and last approximately 1 hour. It includes an extension to the Siege of Sulfur event, plus Transmog fixes. Check out the full list of changes below. SIEGE OF SULFUR The Siege of Sulfur event will be extended until October 3rd. We recognize that the event's launch didn't go as smoothly as we had anticipated and are dedicated to improving the overall experience through additional fixes. In light of the difficulties that have affected completion and enjoyment, we have made the decision to extend the event. We hope that this extension will provide players with a better opportunity to fully experience the encounter and its unique rewards over the next few weeks. Fixed an issue that prevented progress in the Brimstone Sands Siege of Sulfur encounter. TRANSMOG FIXES Fixed a Transmog issue that prevented players from capturing item appearances until after they logged out and back in. Fixed a Transmog issue caused players to lose item Dyes on equipment if there was an error during application. Fixed an issue that caused Leaderboards to display in the incorrect section of the Transmog window. Fixed an issue with the Desecrated Leather Gloves skin. 3V3 ARENAS The Brimstone Sands Gladiatorial Pit will remain active in the 3v3 Arenas map rotation for 3 additional weeks. GENERAL Players with temporary bans will no longer see a generic login error when starting the game. They will now see an error popup that describes their ban. Fixed an issue that caused the wrong Gear Set Storage icon to appear in the menu. Fixed an issue that caused certain rushing and warring crafting patterns to roll gem slots incorrectly. Fixed an issue that caused Player Titles to appear on Nameplates during Outpost Rush. Thanks for your support!

Aeternum is an ever-evolving world, and as such, we continue our efforts in providing our players with an assortment of ongoing new features, content, and changes. We are approaching the release of Rise of the Angry Earth and would like to once again invite you all to participate in this iteration of our Public Test Realm (PTR)! Read on for this PTR's features and FAQ. The full list of release notes can be found on our website. PTR The Public Test Realm (PTR) is a limited-availability server-set that grants an early look at upcoming features. These preview builds are snapshots of upcoming major releases and are not final versions — you may encounter bugs, crashes, missing text, or other issues. Between our internal testing efforts and your reports, we hope to catch and resolve all serious issues before they reach the live servers. Hundreds of changes have already been made — with more to come — and the full release notes will be shared on release day. However, not every bug or feedback piece will be actioned on before release — some changes need time to be investigated further, and may arrive in a subsequent patch or two. To help with the feedback process, all newly created PTR characters will have the opportunity to instantly level to select level-ranges outfitted with appropriate gear and items. The PTR will officially open tomorrow, September 12, at 8AM PT (3PM UTC) and run until 8AM PT (3PM UTC) on September 18. If you encounter a bug, exploit, or have suggestions to improve a feature or piece of content, we’d love to hear your feedback on our Discord (you can also utilize our in-game feedback tool). We will do our best to address as much of your feedback as possible before the content update makes its way to our live servers. Your participation will help us to deliver awesome content and updates in the future! During this iteration of the PTR, we look forward to hearing your playtest feedback on the following changes: Elysian Wilds Zone Rise of the Angry Earth Main Story Quest Edengrove and Great Cleave Main Story Quest Revamp The Savage Divide Expedition Horse Mounts Artifacts Flail Weapon/Perk changes Primal Fury Heartrune Trade Skill and Gear Score changes Influence Race Season 3 Rewards Track Check out our official announcement for detailed breakdowns of what to expect. PTR CLIENT ACCESS This special preview client will be made available for download through the stand-alone Steam application, “New World Public Test Realm” (which should already be in your Steam library if you own the main game). When the test period is complete and the main New World game is updated with the previewed content, the PTR world will shut down and may be wiped clean. You will continue to see the New World PTR application in your Steam library, but there will not be an a...Flail ShowcaseSep 11, 2023 - Community Announcementshttps://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/5dg5XlhmylUfHb0kDmq9KW/537dce1febb644384979177158fe1232/image__26__1920x1080.jpg Greetings, Adventurers! The Flail is a versatile one-handed weapon with the option for an offhand shield. Use arcane magic to enhance its attacks and buff allies or debuff enemies to aid in victory. Through a combination of melee, arcane magic, and strong defenses, the wielder can bolster their group’s effectiveness without having to drop the offensive. We joined the Design Team for a deeper look at the Flail’s design, weapon comparisons, and Weapon Mastery Trees, plus some other neat tidbits. GAMEPLAY DESIGN What the Flail lacks in raw damage, it makes up for in survivability, support, and utility. Whether you swipe, thrust, strike, or unleash magical AoEs, all attacks have buffs/debuffs that alter their combat function. Versatility is another notable quality of the weapon. Several Flail passives and upgrades function differently based on your shield type and the combat situation. This customization extends to playstyle. Most abilities feature support-focused attack upgrades, so solo players can potentially forego these skills to better spec themselves out for their own survival. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/1vzXt8y0iMPI4hWTMLGEqH/437e48a6a97ab0c0ede31cec0270f803/NW_Flail_HeroPose_B_ROTAE_Announce_1920x1080_Final_CT-002143.jpg STATS: Attack speed: Medium Effective range: Extended Melee Buffs: High Debuffs: High Roles: Support and Tank Strengths: Survivability, utility and versatility, support, defense Weaknesses: Low damage, 1v1 combat Unique Mechanics Extra range: Flail tip extends during attacks to add additional reach. Impairment: A status effect that combines both a damage over time effect and weaken.

Once a welcoming place for newcomers to Aeternum, the fields have been ravaged by the fury of the Angry Earth. No one is certain what has become of the people and villages that once populated the area, and a deadly barrier has kept all but the most intrepid from attempting to find out. This abundance of earthly powers has awakened the mighty Beast Lords, a new possible adversary facing the people of Aeternum… but with them also comes a boon - the secret to taming and riding animals.

STORE SHOWCASE There is a constant swirl in the balance between light and shadow, the real and the void. Take your stand and look for new apparel, weapon and emote bundles in the store throughout September. These items can be obtained individually or as part of a bundle in exchange for Marks of Fortune. Here’s a preview of what to expect: RELEASE NOTES CLIENT PERFORMANCE We previously capped the number of sounds in high-density player scenarios. These limits were bypassed when developing new content which reduced the game client performance in any scenario with more than five players. Most players should now see improved client performance during PVP and heavy PVE game modes as a result of reinstituting those audio limits. QUESTS The proper Samuel Worthington Bloodgood III will now be visible for the Stalk of Shame quest turn in. TRANSMOG Updated the icons for the Corrupted Dynasty Longsword and Musket at the Stylemancer. Players with female character models will now see updated the icons for Thorpe's Helm, Prime Light Headwear and Yezariael's Visage when viewed at the Stylemancer. Updated icons for several items including Bear Bones Medium set, Vagabond Light Handwear, Breach Void Gauntlet and Corrupted Orichalcum Ice Gauntlet. Updated Transmog error messages to show which skin is not being applied, either because there is no item in that slot, or that skin is already applied.

Show off your favorite skins when Transmog comes to New World on August 21. Downtime will begin at 5AM PT (12:00PM UTC) and last approximately 1 hour. Use consumable Transmog Tokens to capture the appearance of any gear collected in the world and then transform it into a usable skin for your cosmetic collection. How will your aesthetic inspire other players? We caught up with the Development Team to discuss everything you need to know about the new feature. Read on for a breakdown of how it works. HOW DOES TRANSMOG WORK? Interact with the Stylemancer NPC in any settlement and select a specific piece of gear to view its Transmog options. Next, you’ll see a thumbnail grid of potential appearances for the slot. This includes both collected skins and entitled skins from Twitch Drops, Prime Gaming Loot, and the in-game Store. After you’ve acquired an item as loot, the option to capture its appearance will be permanently available from the Stylemancer, even if you salvage, discard, or trade the item. Any items obtained prior to the release of this feature, but no longer owned must be reacquired for the menu to recognize and allow players to Transmog it. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/NONUlptW4IyRmeykzaxwn/2693767ffc01404985637f4704c9d414/EN_Preview_Transmog_Editorial_Images_1920x1080_Final_CT-002365.jpg The appearance of almost any weapon, tool, and armor can now be converted into a skin for 1 Transmog Token. Transmog Tokens cannot be spent on Twitch Drop, Prime Gaming Loot, Leaderboard reward skins, and in-game Store items since they’re already available as skins. New icons will identify the source of each item for your convenience. Some items like Leaderboard reward skins will not appear on the Transmog screen. Any item that was in your inventory following the release of Transmog can have its appearance captured, even if you no longer own it. Once confirmed, the skin will now appear in the Change Skin menu as a skin option. Transmog skins will be available forever account-wide, regardless of ownership status of the original gear piece. You can sort through the menu by Name, Source, Owned vs. Unowned, Captured vs. Uncaptured, Full Sets vs. Partial Sets (includes the option to apply appearances available from the matching set so you can quickly change the entire outfit), and Transmog Factor (Tier). WHAT ARE TRANSMOG TOKENS? Use consumable Transmog Tokens at Transmog Stations to capture the appearance of any item in your inventory. Once an appearance has been captured, it is permanently available as a skin. The captured skin will then appear as an item that can be applied to another skin in the change skin menu. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/5G3RXfjqXYnkHDIiqoEWo0/c649b6a804d6db8b8b0d097f6abbe8cb/EN_ConfirmUnlock_Transmog_Editorial_Images_...New World Update 2.0.3Aug 15, 2023 - Community Announcementshttps://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/7zhlUGDQEii1XjRz8GCYsr/00f0f682e9fcf26e06482518cfc9b310/NW_PvE_ShatteredObelisk_LuckOfTheBones_1920x1080_Final_CT-002398.jpg Greetings, Adventurers!

New World Update 2.0.2 downtime will begin at 4:00AM PT (11:00AM UTC) on August 3 and last approximately 1.5 hours. It includes fixes to framerates, the sandwurm Elite Trial, and more. Read on for a full breakdown of the performance changes. PERFORMANCE CHANGES We have implemented a performance change to the way shaders are loaded on the game client. This change is expected to enhance the overall gameplay experience by reducing instances of frame-hitching and stuttering. However, it's important to note that there will be a noticeable impact on game boot-up time as a trade-off. The new start-up time will vary depending on your local hardware setup, with less delays experienced on SSD hard drives and longer delays on HDDs. During this process, your client will remain on the initial New World logo screen for up to a minute as it front-loads necessary assets. We kindly ask for your patience while you experience this new personal start time benchmark. We will closely monitor player feedback and telemetry on client performance after this change, in search of further opportunities for optimization. Fixed a number of server crashes that disconnected players with a “Lag Detected” error. COMBAT Fixed an issue that allowed players to end the recovery of the Blunderbuss ability “Splitting Grenade” early. Increased the amount of health players gain from the first 150 levels of Constitution attribute points. Swapped the 150 DEX and 300 DEX attribute threshold bonuses with each other. The Detonate Heartrune is no longer able to deal Critical damage. Reduced the strength of the Spear’s “Cyclone” slow effect, from 50% to 30%. Limited the number of targets that could be affected by the Spear’s “Leeching Cyclone” Perk in a single use to 3. Reworked the Sword's “Achille's Heel” passive to instead be a Rend. ELITE SANDWURM TRIAL Fixed an issue that caused players who died during the encounter to not receive rewards upon completion. ECONOMY, PROGRESSION, AND GEAR Fixed an issue that made Legendary Fish far easier to catch than intended. Introduced hotkeys for Gear Set Storage. You can now specify hotkeys that will swap your current loadout to a specific Gear Set Storage loadout. Fixed an issue that made the Artisan Fishing Pole unusable. SEASON PASS Fixed an issue that caused the Earn PvP XP Season Activity to display incorrect text. Fixed an issue that caused Season XP awarded from crafting Gypsum Casts to not scale correctly when crafting multiple casts at once. Fixed an issue that prevented players who did not earn a Gear Set Slot through the Season 1 Season Pass from purchasing it through the Store.

Happenings from Aeternum is all about the community. Explore community Q&As on topics like New World's client performance, view community spotlights, and discover new content creators. This month features the Summer Medleyfaire. Learn how to get involved or just enjoy what’s happening. Community Q&A We’ve started additional community Q&As in Discord as a result of community feedback. Join the conversation to find more answers and ask your own questions in August. Here’s the latest Q&A episode of Forged in Aeternum, followed by some responses from our July thread: Is there a planned Inventory/storage overhaul coming? The storage shed system is very frustrating in terms of organization. We agree strongly with your point of view, and are actively looking into it. I'm sure you can imagine there are technical constraints to work around. We are still exploring! Any plans for separate PvE and PvP balance? Yes, this is something we've discussed in the past and think is important so we can push for exciting and strong PvE experiences without breaking the balance of PvP. The first part of it will come in Season 3 when we use this new system to replace some of the balance we achieved through "required" perks. We will then build upon this system over time to include more aspects of combat. Any plans for solo Expeditions? There are no plans for solo Expeditions at the moment. Those experiences are built for multiple players and designed with support and tank classes in mind. However, we want to make sure everyone can easily participate in Expeditions, so we're making some changes in Season 3 to the difficulty of base Expeditions to make them easier for all. We want players to be able to experience the fun and story of our Expeditions in a low pressure setting. If players want a challenge they can participate in Mutators. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/3o816KsLDKzaYZylvkUQhN/691bea2efa3ac55c02d8954694fe2b55/NW_Boss1_S1Announce_EmpyreanForge_Final_CT-001427.jpg New World's Client Performance We caught up with Mike Boccieri, one of New World's AZoth Engine team leads, to answer your questions about DX12, performance optimization, and DLSS: What are your plans for DX12? When the game came out you said the game would move to DX12 after a few months. We are missing out on better graphics and potential performance. As Rich Lawrence mentioned in 2021, New World's AZoth Engine team has had in the past - and currently has - active development towards supporting DX12. While any new platform technology has the potential for improvements - both in areas of graphical fidelity as well as performance - the ability to leverage new technologies effectively is heavily dependent on both the upfront cost to develop the implementation, as well as the downstream costs to the game's content creators. As a result, when we consider ...Amazon’s MMORPG 'New World' Debuts at #1 on Steam with a Peak of 700k Concurrent PlayersSep 29, 2021 - GitHypFounded in 2012 and supported by Amazon’s success in just about every other industry, Amazon’s game development studio has been struggling to produce a hit over the past decade. With hundreds of millions invested, Amazon has pulled the plug on multiple big-budget games recently, such as Breakaway and Crucible – the latter even shockingly being sent back to beta testing and canceled after being fully released on Steam with a peak of 25k concurrent players – something unheard of in the video game industry. More recently, Amazon even canceled their upcoming Lord of the Rings MMORPG, but now it looks like they have an even bigger MMO with New World, which launched at #1 on Steam with a peak of 708k concurrent players during its first day. There have been many factors leading to the success of New World. Besides having almost unlimited funding, the world's best servers, and owning the gaming-focused streaming service, Twitch, Amazon couldn’t have picked a better time to launch their new massive multiplayer online role-playing game. The industry-leader, World of Warcraft, has seen its player/subscriber numbers continue to decline year-over-year per data shared on investor calls and reports. And numerous lawsuits against Blizzard over the past few months have led to many fans boycotting the studio behind WoW and looking elsewhere to get their MMO fix. Besides WoW, Amazon’s biggest competition in the MMO market is currently Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV Online – which saw its own player base spike over these past few months on Steam (peaking at 68k concurrent players) as fans of WoW jumped ship and followed their favorite streamers to a new virtual world online. Unlike FFXIV and WoW, which have their own launchers, whether purchasing Amazon’s $40 PC exclusive directly on Amazon or Steam, all players must use the Steam client to launch New World. While this makes it difficult to directly compare said games, it gives us the exact player counts for New World, without any question as to which platform the majority of the game’s population uses.
