New World: Update 1.0.1 has gone live
0

The first official update for New World brings the foundations for character transfers, quest fixes and a host of other improvements. Here's everything contained in New World 1.0.1.

Going live on October 6, New World Update 1.0.1 is the first major update to the title finally released just a week ago.

According to Amazon Games, their priority has been to add new servers, increase the size of these servers, add penalties to those abusing AFK to remain in game, and implement server transfers. 

Remember that this character transfer will be free for two weeks only -- beyond this it'll be a paid service.

The update also fixes several issues related to elite monsters and especially quests. There are no balance changes to speak of just yet.

Here's what's been implemented with the patch.

General

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.

Bug Fixes

General

  • Fixed a rare issue causing the interact key to not properly function on various objects in the world.

  • Fixed an issue where players are asked to claim achievement titles multiple times after logging back into the game, despite already having claimed the rewards.

New World: Amazon targets players exploiting AFK

With players seeing long queues to get into New World, some were exploiting the game's AFK detection system to remain 'active' enough to avoid being booted. Now, Amazon has announced they are working on a solution.
