New World Devs: 'We Were Wrong' Concerning Controversial
Endgame Gear Changes
New World's had a rough go of it the last few months
since launch, and while the game isn't dying like many
would have you believe, it is going through some major
growing pains. One major source of contention has been
the endgame gear changes that Amaozn has implemented.
Responding to feedback, the development team has detailed
what they are doing to address the concerns, admitting
that it's "clear" the team was wrong in how they
approached them.To get more news about

The major source of contention comes from the news
earlier this week as part of the PTR notes about a
controversial change to the High Water Mark system. This
change would see the current system renamed to
"Expertise," and see a reduction in power right away for
players.
In response to feedback from the community, the
developers posted an update on the official forums,
talking about the changes and how it will be approached
now moving forward. The team started off admitting that
they were "wrong" in how they approached the change.
In response to the changes, Amazon has announced that
they will not be touching any crafted gear, quest loot or
anything bought from the Faction shops.
"Before diving in, I want to be clear that we are
dedicated to not reducing the power of players in the
world (other than cases addressing bugs and imbalance
problems)," the post by Developer Zin_Ramu reads. "The
rest of this post details how we are achieving that while
retaining the benefits of the Expertise and Gypsum
system."As a result, Amazon believes this will give
players "alternative ways to equip themselves if they
don't want to engange in the Expertise system." Zin_Ramu
also talks up crafting's importance since the system will
not touch crafted gear, which could in turn have a
positive effect on the economy.
Amazon does acknowledge, however, that players who have
not yet reached level 60 might feel that New World has
become "harder," though they are hoping the new Gypsum
currency introduced with the Expertise system could help
offset that some.
You can check out the full post on the official forums
here. In case you missed it as well, alongside the
Expertise changes, New World's first real festival was
officially unveiled on the PTR, called the Winter
Convergence Event. This new festival will change how
Aternum looks and give players the ability to collect
tokens for rare and cosmetic items in the MMO.
Additionally, the first of the server merges have
happened, with the EU's Brittia and Mardi servers being
merged yesterday
