New World brings the biggest update since release – changes exactly what bugs players

In a video, the developers of the MMORPG New World announce the biggest update to date. They want to change a lot that bothers the players. There is also a new zone and a new weapon.

Monotonous quests, endless grinding and an unbalanced economy are just a few of the problems players face in New World. Amazon’s MMORPG therefore only receives the rating “Balanced” on Steam.

With the “Brimestone Sands” update, the developers now want to change a lot so that players can have more fun in New World again. They are not primarily concerned with bugs, but much more with content-related aspects. Before the update appears, the developers test everything on a public test server.

The first 25 levels have been revised

What is changed? Amazon want to make the entry into New World less monotonous. That’s why they revise the first 25 levels both visually and in terms of content. The quests should then be less monotonous and players will find more variety in NPCs and enemies.

So far, the story hasn’t really followed a common thread, boring the players and making them constantly travel back and forth. In the future, each of the starting zones will be more individual and tell a central story, so that the gaming experience will be smoother.

First, Amazon is pushing the changes to the test server and wanting to await player feedback, they are encouraging people to participate in New World public testing. After that, the revision should be introduced into the game with the update. If all goes well, they promise to gradually overhaul the entire MMORPG and make it less monotonous.

Also within the economy in New World there should soon be changes to distribute the money better. So far, the developers have hardly revealed anything about this.

New zone brings you to Egypt

Brimestone Sands is a vast desert reminiscent of ancient Egypt. Within the storyline you discover that the Roman Empire also plays a role. You will encounter corrupt legionnaires and the Egyptian guards inside the lore.

Since New World is an open world MMORPG, there is of course a lot to discover in the new zone. In addition to new opponents, there is also a new expedition, i.e. the New Worlds version of a dungeon. It will lead you into a huge pyramid.

“When you’re out in the zone and meet strong opponents, you need something to help you survive,” the developers explain and then talk about the new weapon that the update brings with it.

The new weapon is called “Greatsword” and is designed for strength and dexterity. You can play them in 2 different ways. Either the weapon is designed for damage, or you become a tank with it. You then first withstand more damage before hitting your opponents several times.

When will the update appear? Brimestone Sands is planned for October, an exact date is not yet known. In September, the developers want to publish another update in which they reveal more details. First, they are rolling out the changes on their public test server to see player reactions.
