New World Update and Bug Fixes

PvP damage rescaling As mentioned above, New World's first patch rescaled the damage adjustment between high-level and low-level players to reduce the gap. Details were not given in the patch notes. However, it was done to keep things balanced and to let casual players with less time on their hands go toe-to-toe with hardcore players in PvP combat.

Streamer Mode The patch also added a new streamer mode that allows streamers to hide notifications while playing and avoid interacting with other players. Players can turn this feature on by typing '/busy' or '/dnd' in chat or by accessing the new "Social Tab" in the Settings Menu.

Bug fixes Big game launches usually come with a few bugs. That is why the developers worked hard to prevent this, addressing a number of bugs with AI, combat, quests, rewards, the user interface and more.
