¡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)!
RPP
El Reino público de pruebas (RPP) es un ajuste de servidor de disponibilidad limitada que usaremos para ofrecerles a los jugadores una vista previa de las funciones que se vienen. 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 time to be investigated further, and may arrive 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.
The PTR will officially open tomorrow, September 1, at 10 AM PDT (5 PM UTC). To maximize world population and encourage group play, we will open with two worlds available (“US East PTR 1” and “EU PTR 1”) for this playtest cycle, with them located within US East and EU Central regional datacenters respectively. You may have to change your client regional selection from the main menu in order to discover your intended test world. Existing test characters have been wiped for this cycle, in order to ensure thorough testing of the early game experience changes and ensure feedback received is evaluated at the same difficulty benchmarks as we roll out new features across the next several weeks.
Si encuentran un error o vulnerabilidad, o tienen sugerencias para mejorar una función o parte del contenido, los invitamos a enviarnos sus comentarios a nuestro PTR sub-forum (también pueden usar nuestra herramienta de comentarios dentro del juego). Haremos lo posible por leer la mayor cantidad de comentarios antes de implementar la actualización del contenido en nuestros servidores en vivo. ¡Su participación nos ayudará a lanzar contenido y actualizaciones geniales en el futuro!
Major Updates
During this iteration of the PTR, we look forward to hearing your playtest feedback on the following changes.
Revamped Starting Experience
We’ve completely redesigned the early levels of New World, so players who start the game or roll a new character will experience brand new stories and quests. Player feedback on quest variety, AI variety, more streamlined questlines with less running back and forth, and improved storytelling in those early stages of the game helped bring about the following changes:
Quest flow through zones has been optimized, with NPCs who move around and a central story thread that takes players through each region of the game, unlocking side content to pace out the experience.
We’ve added a variety of new quest dynamics, from wave events to tracking and traversal challenges, puzzles in the ruins, unique interactions with the world, and dynamic events players will encounter.
We’ve revised onboarding to stay focused on the central storyline, introducing the legacy of King Arthur in Monarch’s Bluffs and a curse and famine from the sorceress Medea in Windsward. Players will still converge on the Hermit Yonas to start on the path to becoming Soulwardens, but the Yonas quests have all been consolidated in Everfall. The Hermit himself is now more mobile, while the story and quest flow vastly improved.
We’ve also added a lot more character to the zones and settlements in Monarch’s Bluffs and Everfall, new enemies, new major locations, and new challenges in the quests and open world.
Greatsword Weapon
Get ready for a new weapon — the Greatsword. This two-handed blade utilizes stances to adapt to different situations. Learn the risks and rewards of each option to survive in battle. Both Weapon Skill Trees feature versatile tactics for varied playstyles:
The Onslaught tree embodies relentless offense and focuses on defeating enemies before they can take you out.
The Defiance tree excels at aggressive defense that can survive and deal damage against multiple opponents.
The Greatsword scales evenly with Strength and Dexterity, making it a good pair for many other martial weapons.
Of course, that’s not all! You can review all of the upcoming changes for this patch by checking out the full PTR release notes, shared within the PTR sub-forum.
PTR CLIENT ACCESS
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, the PTR world will shut down and may be wiped clean. You will continue to see the New World PTR application in your Steam library, but there will not be an active server until the next time we announce a public test
Preguntas frecuentes sobre el RPP
¿CÓMO ACCEDO AL NUEVO RPP?
Todos los que tengan una copia de New World obtendrán acceso automático a la app secundaria del RPP. El RPP no es compatible con el juego en vivo, así que deberán descargar un cliente por separado (y contar con el espacio en disco necesario para ello). A partir de allí, habrá mundos especiales disponibles dentro de las regiones que los admitan. No todas las regiones serán compatibles desde el comienzo. El acceso será por orden de llegada, y es posible que se formen colas.
¿PUEDO JUGAR CON MIS PERSONAJES EN VIVO EN EL RPP O TRANSFERIRLOS A ESE ENTORNO?
No. Se trata de ecosistemas separados, así que eso no es posible por el momento. Sin embargo, para simplificar el proceso de prueba, los jugadores ciertas veces contarán con facilidades especiales, como niveles instantáneos, equipo especial, etc.
¿PUEDO ENVIAR COMENTARIOS SOBRE EL DISEÑO DE LO QUE SE INCLUYE EN EL RPP?
Ya finalizó el desarrollo principal de las versiones preliminares del juego en el RPP, y se encuentran en la fase final de pruebas y correcciones de errores. Nuestro objetivo principal en esta fase es mejorar la calidad, aunque sus comentarios son bienvenidos.
TENGO UN PROBLEMA: ¿CÓMO PUEDO COMUNICARME CON EL SERVICIO DE ASISTENCIA AL CLIENTE?
Nuestras políticas y el código de conducta abarcan el RPP, y la moderación dentro del juego seguirá estando disponible. Por desgracia, debido a la inestabilidad temporal y potencial del RPP, no estará disponible la asistencia general del servicio al cliente a través del chat en vivo y del sitio web de asistencia.
NO QUIERO PARTICIPAR EN EL RPP. ¿PUEDO ELIMINAR LA APP DE MI BIBLIOTECA?
Claro, no hay ningún problema. Los jugadores pueden ajustar la visibilidad del Reino público de pruebas de New World como entrada de biblioteca de Steam. Al abrir las opciones del juego (clic derecho > Administrar), se muestra la función “Ocultar juego”.
¡Gracias por el apoyo y la participación! Nos vemos en Aeternum.
