It’s a new day — and a new patch for New World. This week’s Update 1.5.2 arrived to significantly bump up PvP arena XP for wins and fix several bugs. The 3v3 arenas arrived last month with a “best of five” format.
However, Amazon is nerfing another avenue of PvP XP to keep players from farming too much: “Players will now receive less PvP XP and Azoth Salt per capture after capturing 10 Faction Control Points within a 24 hour period. Each capture following your tenth Faction Control Point within that time frame nets 250 PvP XP and 50 Azoth Salt.”
The studio also acknowledged a request from players that it’s been developing a potential dungeon finder tool, responding to a question on this by clarifying that it’s not ready. “Not yet. The team are aware of this highly requested addition from the community.” We’re currently expecting it in the summer update, though we can’t help but notice the response sounds a bit non-committal.
