¡Saludos, aventureros!
Aeternum is an ever-evolving world, and as such, we continue our efforts in providing our players with an assortment of ongoing new features, content, and changes. Similar to the activities leading up to our latest major update, we are approaching the release of our next large release and would like to once again invite you all to participate in the next cycle of our Public Test Realm (PTR)!
PTR
El Reino público de pruebas (PTR, por su nombre en inglés, «Public Test Realm») es un conjunto de servidores limitados que permitirá a los jugadores probar las novedades antes de su lanzamiento. These preview builds are snapshots of upcoming major releases and are not final versions — you may encounter bugs, crashes, missing text, or other issues. Between our internal testing efforts and your reports, we hope to catch and resolve all serious issues before they reach the live servers. However, not every bug or feedback piece will be actioned on before release — some changes need to be investigated further, and may come in a subsequent patch or two. Nonetheless, hundreds of changes have already been made — with more to come — and the full release notes will be shared on release day.
To help with the feedback process, all newly created PTR characters will have the opportunity to instantly level to select level-ranges outfitted with appropriate gear and items.
The PTR will officially open tomorrow, March 3, at 10 AM PST (6 PM UTC). Servers are limited — to maximize world population and encourage higher occurrences of group play, there will only be one world available for this playtest cycle, with it located within the US East regional datacenter. You may have to change your regional selection from the main menu in order to discover the available test world.
This special preview client will be made available for download through the stand-alone Steam application, “New World Public Test Realm” (which should already be in your Steam library if you own the main game). When the test period is complete and the main New World game is updated with the previewed content, all worlds will shut down and may be subject to being wiped clean. Seguiréis teniendo la aplicación en la biblioteca de Steam, pero los servidores no volverán a estar activos hasta la próxima vez que anunciemos una prueba.
Si descubrís un error o una vulnerabilidad o tenéis sugerencias sobre cómo mejorar alguna parte del contenido, podéis mandarnos vuestros comentarios al PTR sub-forum (o con la herramienta de comentarios del juego). Haremos lo posible para responder a tantas opiniones como podamos antes de actualizar los servidores principales. ¡Vuestra participación nos ayudará a tener actualizaciones con contenido fantástico en el futuro!
During this iteration of the PTR, we look forward to hearing your playtest feedback regarding the following changes:
New Endgame Activities
Tempest’s Heart - the Myrkgard Expedition
The final showdown against Isabella is upon you. Pursue the Tempest into a corrupted dimension of reality, through the twisted capital city of Myrkgard. Discover the secrets of her past while you dive deeper into her corrupted mind. The Tempest’s Heart is an endgame expedition for 5 players. Recommended for 60+ players with Gearscores between 550 and 570.
For the March PTR, players will be given strong loadouts to play frequently.
Main Storyline Finale Quest and More
The main story questline picks up as you pursue Isabella back to Shattered Mountain. The final quest, The Heart of the Tempest, is given by Yseult Meredith. They are located at Mountain Home Outpost in Shattered Mountain.
Additional repeatable quests can be taken from Mara Rosa in the cathedral just south of the expedition entrance.
New Weapon Type
The Blunderbuss
The Blunderbuss is a ranged weapon that offers high mobility coupled with potent close-to-mid range DPS. It’s the first weapon to scale on strength and intelligence, making it a good companion for bruiser or mage builds. The Containment tree is all about closing the gap and unloading hot lead into your enemy’s face. Conversely, the Chaos tree focuses on keeping your distance and bombarding areas with explosive AoE damage.
NUEVAS MISIONES DE ARMA LEGENDARIA
Alongside the release of the Blunderbuss weapon itself, we’re also releasing a new Legendary Weapon Quest series. Upon reaching Level 60 and maximum skill level with the new firearm (granted to you automatically in the PTR), players should seek out Wang Tang Zhi in the Ebonscale Reach settlement to start this epic endeavor.
Many more changes have been made across the entire New World experience. Check out our PTR Release Notes for a bigger picture and let us know what you think on the PTR subforum!
PTR Backstory Loadouts
Upon character creation on the PTR, players will be given multiple caches of special armor and weapons. Each cache has a designation based upon a general build based on a main attribute: CON, DEX, INT, FOC, and STR. To help manage the sudden onset of new items, do not open all provided caches at once, or you risk becoming encumbered! Instead, equip all provided bags and then follow-up with opening each cache deliberately. Any undesired caches can be dropped or deposited into your personal settlement storage.
Preguntas frecuentes del PTR
¿CÓMO PUEDO ACCEDER AL NUEVO PTR?
Quien tenga una copia de New World recibirá acceso automático a la aplicación secundaria del Reino público de pruebas. Este no es compatible con el juego principal, por lo que tendréis que descargar un cliente independiente (y, por tanto, contar con el suficiente espacio en disco). En este cliente tendremos mundos especiales para las regiones correspondientes. No estará disponible en todas las regiones desde el principio. El acceso se otorga por orden de llegada. Podría haber colas.
¿PUEDO JUGAR CON MIS PERSONAJES DEL JUEGO PRINCIPAL O TRANSFERIRLOS AL PTR?
Por desgracia, no. Son ecosistemas separados, por lo que no es posible en estos momentos. Sin embargo, para facilitar las pruebas, os proporcionaremos ciertas ventajas en algunas ocasiones, como niveles instantáneos, equipo especial, etc.
¿PUEDO OFRECER COMENTARIOS SOBRE EL DISEÑO DE LAS CARACTERÍSTICAS DEL PTR?
Las versiones de avance del PTR han superado la fase de desarrollo y están en pruebas para corregir errores. Aunque os agradeceremos todas vuestras opiniones, la principal finalidad de esta fase es aumentar la calidad.
SI TENGO UN PROBLEMA, ¿CÓMO CONTACTO CON ATENCIÓN AL CLIENTE?
Nuestras políticas y Código de conducta también se aplican al PTR y tendremos moderación para el juego. Lamentablemente, debido a la naturaleza potencialmente inestable y temporal del Reino público de pruebas, no ofreceremos atención al cliente general mediante chat en vivo ni la página web de asistencia.
NO QUIERO PARTICIPAR EN EL PTR. ¿PUEDO ELIMINAR LA APLICACIÓN DE MI BIBLIOTECA?
No nos lo tomaremos a mal. Podréis gestionar la visibilidad de la aplicación del Reino público de pruebas de New World en la biblioteca de Steam. Abrid las opciones del juego (clic derecho > Administrar) y tendréis la opción de «Ocultar este juego».
¡Gracias por vuestra asistencia y participación! Nos vemos en Aetérnum.
