The latest New World community Q&A is here, and the team covers content and bug fixes, seasonal narrative, and adjustments, PvP , and community feedback and how they aim to improve in their response.
Since Scot Lane promised that the next major announcement would be held until June, this Q&A is the last one until after that major announcement happens.
Also on the topic of frustration is the question that touches on why bugs and issues present on the PTR make it to live, despite reports and feedback. That comes down to, “we can’t fix everything that comes up,” Lane says, pointing out that they have a backlog of needed fixes, and they have to prioritize.
When it comes to season long narratives and storyline quests, the team reiterated that they were intended to be temporary and not create a long series of more stuff for new players. So, despite prior inquiries, they have no plans to restore them.
As for PVP, matchmaking is still in process and they are working on it. They’re also working on how to improve competitive play experiences and to make PVP feel more rewarding for your time.
