All right folks, if you wanted the cross-world group finder in New World, it’s finally your day… to test it, that is. Amazon announced last night that cross-world expeditions are finally headed to the PTR with its opening today, January 16th.
“Team up with players from any world within a region to overcome challenges within the depths of Aeternum,” the team writes. “The new, one-click Group Finder will automatically assemble a role-balanced, cross-world group—no more lobby management required!”
Once they’re on the PTR preview client through Steam, players will be able to log in, navigate to the activities tab, pull up expeditions in the menu, and dive in. “Use the ‘Random’ button to queue for any Expedition you qualify for, or use the checkboxes to the left of each Expedition to build a specific Expeditions list and enter with the Queue button,” Amazon explains, noting that M3 is off-limits and that players must stay in the instance for 10 minutes to avoid a penalty for leaving with the “abandon” button.
Readers will surely recall that this version of LFG was intended to roll out at the end of 2023 but was delayed into 2024.
Cross World Expeditions with improved Group Finder will be featured in our next PTR preview, coming on January 16.
