Patch Notes: General

New World - General

New World has implemented the groundwork for the character server transfer, and you may see elements of that work in the in-game store. The developers are continuing to work on this feature, and will have more information on how the system works later this week when server transfers are released.

War

Changed turret projectiles in War from physical projectiles to use hitscan detection. This should help performance in War, with fewer objects being spawned in the world.

AFK Prevention

In an effort to ensure players can’t stay AFK, especially in higher population servers, the following adjustments have been made to the AFK prevention system.

  • Added additional AFK prevention to ensure players cannot fool the existing system with simulated mouse movement.
  • Shortened the AFK warning message from 20mins to 15mins.
  • Shortened the AFK disconnect from 25mins to 20mins.

World Queue

Added a confirmation screen when a player attempts to leave the queue for a world, asking the player to confirm if they’re intending to leave the queue. This should help ensure nobody accidentally leaves the queue and misses out on their spot in line.
