The developers from Amazon Games have taken to the official site of MMORPG New World to share the June alpha update patch 2 and the changes it introduces to the game.
The developers have added two new types of PvE Faction Missions: Assassinate and Elite. As comes from its name, Assassinate type missions will task players with taking out specific high-treat foes while Elite missions will send players after Aeternum’s most dangerous villains. It’s recommended that you bring a friend along!
War Declaration has been updated to reward the most active Companies in the influence race with a higher chance of being selected as the Vanguard. If more than one Company declares War on the same territory during conflict, the amount of influence a Company contributed toward the conflict increases its chance to be selected as the Vanguard.
In an effort to support the PvP side of things, the devs have reduced gear’s durability loss due to PvP death, increased XP for PvP kills, and adjusted camp respawning mechanics to make Faction Control Point battles more interesting.
The team also took at a look at player progression and reduced the XP required to level by 20% for all levels after level 7. The increase in the previous update combined with the changes to Corrupted Breaches reduced the speed of leveling too much.
Check out the official site to find the full list of patch notes and the changes arriving in the game with the latest update, including the update to crafting, expeditions, gathering, titles & achiements and much more.
