Although the New World seems to be mostly occupied in the fight against exploiters like cheaters, forever shooting out fixes or disable features, this week brings an update focused on adding new features. So great. The ‘Into The Void’ update introduces the new Void Gauntlet, a weapon that can be used to heal or damage. You can also perform violence against new enemies, because many Varangian forces have come to plunder the island.
So the Amazon Game Studios developers describe the Void Gauntlet as a “magic damage/assistance hybrid weapon”. Spanning both Intelligence and Focus, Hole Fist features two weapon proficiency trees, one that focuses on close-range Void Blade damage and the other that provides both healing and debuff through its Orb Of Decay. Plus, it produces beautiful colors and lights.
As for the Varangians, they went to Southeast Aeternum to find magical weapons for their master. They come in forms including Varangian Hewer, Varangian Scout, Varangian Knight and Varangian Archer. Get out there and obliterate them so completely that they respawn into a timer because the universe can’t comprehend how completely ruined they are, think it must be a mistake and decide to renovate their bodies when it thinks no one is looking, hoping no one notices its accidental breakdown in the laws of reality.
Also, while Ed begged mounts in the New World still no answer, patch added 10% speed when you’re running on out-of-combat roads.
To watch Into The Void Update Page for more info and patch notes. It will go live now. Though how long it will last, who can say!
One thing that wasn’t anticipated, however, were the obvious changes to the game’s endgame. Much folks are understanding about increasing wear levels, and in particular things are becoming harder for solo players.
In stark contrast to the post-launch content, Alice Bee recently heard from one of the developers how they changed the concept of the game before launch: How New World Transformed From A Toxic Survival Horror Game To A Juggling MMO.
