It’s no secret that New World’s launch was… Messy. Bugs ran rampant, queue times were outrageous, and overall it felt unfinished. Well, the first big update (and we mean BIG) is here. This patch brings new enemy types, a new weapon, and fixes to some of the major bugs throughout Aeternum. Here’s the highlights from Patch 1.1.
Full notes on all the changes can be found on the officialNew World website.
New Weapon - Void Gauntlet
The Void Gauntlet can be used offensively and defensively scaling on both Intelligence and Focus. There are two mastery trees for the Void Gauntlet: Annihilation and Decay.
New Enemies - The Varangian Knights
The Varangians are a force of invading knights currently raiding Southeastern Aeternum. They are led by Lord Commander Attalus, a Gaul with a reputation for brutality and a twisted sense of humor. Commander Attalus and the Varangians are vassals to a powerful warlord named Varik “The Hammer” Iznov. They have been sent to Southeastern Aeternum in search of magical artifacts and arcane lore left behind by the Crimson Sorcerer. Their goal is to secure magical weapons that will help their lord in his conquests. The Varangians are fiercely competitive and will vie with one another to curry favor with Lord Commander Attalus.
Why these fearsome warriors have arrived is a question to all. Face off against multiple new types of enemies, including the Varangian Hewer, Varangian Scout, Varangian Knight, and Varangian Archer as you ascertain what they are chasing in Aeternum.
