It’s been one week since Amazon Games released New World. Despite the lengthy wait times, millions of players have begun exploring Aeternum, making it one of the most successful MMORPG debuts to date. The New World October 6 update was published and implemented by Amazon Games, and we have a complete copy of the patch notes below.
The October 6 update, which contains numerous quality of life improvements, AFK prevention, and other bug patches, was published on October 6 at 3 a.m. PT. A reworked AFK avoidance system, a global queue confirmation screen, performance improvements, and more are among the noteworthy changes.
The character server transfer mechanism has already begun to be implemented by Amazon Games. While the system is not yet operational, it seems that it will make use of the in-game shop, implying that players will get one free character transfer before having to pay for subsequent server transfers.
Patch Notes for October 6th in New World (Update 1.0.1)
GENERAL
The foundation for the character server transfer has been laid, and you can see some of it in the in-game shop. We’re still working on this functionality, and when we deploy server transfers later this week, we’ll have more details on how it works.
WAR
In War, turret projectiles were replaced by hitscan detection instead of actual projectiles. With fewer items generated in the globe, performance in War should improve.
PREVENTION OF AFK
We’ve implemented the following changes to the AFK prevention mechanism in order to guarantee that players can’t remain AFK, particularly on servers with a larger population.
- Additional AFK protection has been included to guarantee that players cannot deceive the system with simulated mouse movement.
- The AFK warning message was reduced from 20 to 15 minutes.
- The AFK disconnect time has been reduced from 25 minutes to 20 minutes.
THE WORLD’S QUEUE
- When a player tries to leave the queue for a planet, we introduced a confirmation box asking them to confirm their decision. This should assist guarantee that no one exits the queue by mistake and loses their place in line.
