This week’s New World patch update has seen a focus in fixing a healthy assortment of bugs and glitches. This update is live from the 13th of October.
The New World development team are often working hard to fix various bugs and problems that arise. Particularly so close after their initial release, there’s plenty of things that players are noticing that developers did not. Well we’re here to summarise what’s new in this 1.0.2 patch update!
Faction mission update:
The rates of influence gained over time have been adjusted. It will continue to require significant effort over time to flip a territory into conflict state:
- Reduced the amount of influence increase over time significantly for attacking factions. This is to account for a bug we found where the increase was multiplied much faster than intended over time.
- Removed the decrease in influence over time for defending factions.
