Downtime is scheduled for tomorrow, October 14th at 9:00AM PT, for a client and server update with a small but mighty number of player facing changes

In addition to our regular server maintenance, we included the following in the new build:

Gold removed from the cost of items in the faction shop
Catacombs sterling rewards increased
Daggers disabled
Purifying Switch II perk disabled
War merc limits removed
Isle of Night raid rewards adjustment
Ultimate trophies stack in all 5 houses
Significant reduction in the carry and storage weight of 7 perk-charm materials
Corrupted portals respawn faster

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the player wishlist thread, that is where the majority of these changes were pulled from. Our team has some more QoL changes under investigation, but no timeline on when/if we can get them into the live game. Stay tuned and as always, see you in Aeternum.

Wish they enabled holiday events, even if just reusing prior years like they usually did. The towns in their festive colors was always really nice.

[u/danny-potato → u/InvestigatorHefty799]

I miss a good ol’ Turkelon hunt..

[u/preferred-til-newops → u/danny-potato]

I miss the glemite meteors, the holiday music the most and Christmas trees in all the towns with snow banks.

[u/KurganNazzir → u/preferred-til-newops]

Gleamite is so pretty; I took several screenshots of it everywhere I saw it, and maybe a video. I probably have some shots of it falling during a boss fight at that one Northern snowy location because the boss fight and gleamite field was the same place.

I wish I could get all of the in-game music, but I hadn't had any luck with it so I stopped trying for the time being.

[u/danny-potato → u/preferred-til-newops]

I know right, it was a game I’d always come back to.. these daily posts make me sad 😔

[u/Proof_Engineering971 → u/danny-potato]

Me too but I like reading them and its like seeing people reminiscing about the game i love.

[u/Buddha_Ghe → u/danny-potato]

🦃

[u/Sergtron → u/InvestigatorHefty799]

They actually have had the seasonal events enabled. We just had the eggs in the game but they came with a bug so for that specific event they turned it off

[u/NosleepToken → u/[deleted]]

New World and Destiny in the Autumn and at Xmas we’re absolute vibes. I always played both and it was always a happy juggle. Tried to come back to New World this weekend but the shutdown looms over every play session. Dumped my gold into my dead guilds bank and I finally uninstalled it. Painful but Had to be done. I’ll always miss it.

[u/Garshock]

To the small handful of devs. If you guys want to leak the multiplayer server source files online, that would be lovely. 😁

[u/Sea_Soft196 → u/Garshock]

Idk why they didnt already, scared ppl i guess

[u/Alcaedias → u/Sea_Soft196]

It's Amazon. No one would risk doing that for the sake of their careers.

[u/mechatui → u/Garshock]

I think re engineering it will make less of a buggy mess honestly

[u/iIillIiillilIIlllIi → u/mechatui]

ah yes reverse engineering the buggy mess will make it less buggy mess

[u/farinkey → u/iIillIiillilIIlllIi]

Since you don't need to reverse engineering bugs its true

[u/iIillIiillilIIlllIi → u/farinkey]

So basically ask ai to “reverse engineer new world, pls dont include bugs ty”

[u/Barnhard]

Respect to the skeleton crew doing what they can

[u/nilsjay123]

This is absurd. Why disable daggers if the game is taken offline in a few weeks anyway?

[u/d1versify → u/nilsjay123]

they crash others' game

[u/avamous → u/nilsjay123]

Still around for 3 and a half months and understandable if it was relating to crashes.

[u/ayyeemanng]

Daggers disabled? Were they an issue?

[u/molthor226 → u/ayyeemanng]

A friend stopped playing because of them.

At first when they were enabled we couldnt play OPR because someone using it would insta crash his game.

I dont know if its because of that they were disabled.

[u/ApprehensiveDuckMan → u/ayyeemanng]

I'm wondering the same thing

[u/Porkus_Aurelius → u/ApprehensiveDuckMan]

We're daggers crashing OPR? I haven't been around for a little while but I remember that being a problem.

[u/linegel → u/Porkus_Aurelius]

They can just ban daggers

[u/hryfrcnsnnts → u/Porkus_Aurelius]

It crashes open world, opr, etc.

[u/Arkane819 → u/ayyeemanng]

Dagger seem to be the scapegoat for everyone that crashes. Personally, I’ve ran daggers for hours since they were released and never had a crash related to them. Bows and muskets make me crash. They should disable those next.

[u/Wrong_Lab_9493]

Why in the hell were daggers disabled. I mean I leveled them when they were first added and wasn't that impressed as they weren't fully fleshed out... but still. Why?

[u/Goatfryed → u/Wrong_Lab_9493]

they crash other player's game. finally disabled. sad, but good.

[u/an_edgy_lemon]

Damn, I wanted to try the daggers before the game shut down. Guess I should have hopped on sooner

[u/Dazzling-Cup5979 → u/an_edgy_lemon]

You had close to a year.

[u/Tym4x]

The one guy in charge of maintaining the game is a real bro. May he be blessed in his future endeavors.

[u/-Lumina_-]

Can a group pick this game up and do a Turtle WOW thing with it, please.

[u/KurganNazzir]

UPDATE posted this morning in Discord:

Update on the scheduled downtime: in the 11th hour we had a request from one of the platforms to recompile the build, so we need to do that. Downtime is on hold until that build is done. Will update when its complete, and hopefully take the downtime early tomorrow. TBD.

Also, I did a search on Daggers and what I see pre-patch notes is quite a few players asking for Daggers to be disabled due to them crashing the game (going back to at least last year), and post-patch notes a few players talking about it. Someone asked if they could just be disabled in PvP and New World said, "no, that's not something we have integrated into our systems, it would be a huge undertaking that we don't have the staff for."

[u/H6i6m6]

Is Penetrating Backstab still disabled?

[u/D_Shepard]

Damn so this might be the last chance to ever check out daggers before the game closes

[u/lorachill]

I really hope the devs at least left a little note explaining why daggers got the axe, was it balance issues or did someone just really hate the sound of steel swishing?

[u/SvempaGladiator]

Not my daggers!

[u/Jon_CockBurn → u/[deleted]]

Honestly good on them actually working on the game till the end , don’t see anything wrong with that

[u/Lanky_Pianist989 → u/Jon_CockBurn]

maybe they do some improvements so there are more players, so they can sell the game for a better price.

[u/Jon_CockBurn → u/Lanky_Pianist989]

Ah, sorry but if they had someone that wanted to buy it these changes wouldn’t do anything ha

[u/jestermx6 → u/[deleted]]

simply because people are still playing.

[u/preferred-til-newops → u/[deleted]]

3.5 months actually

[u/No_Fill2140]

Guess I should've leveled those daggers when they weren't useless, like back when the stun build was actually fun.

[u/d1versify]

and still nothing about a little balance in opr. GAs still everywhere?

[u/linegel]

Daggers disabled
WTF

I was postponing to play game later and before I had a chance they are disabling it?! WHY?!

[u/Dazzling-Cup5979 → u/linegel]

You postponed it 10 months? Hope you’re memeing.
